The New Reporters Success.

a newspaper took a new reporter
on trial recently. lie went out to
hunt for news, and after being away
all day returned with the following,
which he said was the best he conld
do:
"Ycstcrday we saw a sight which
frozc our heart with horror. A cab
man, driving down Market street at
rapid pace, was very near running
over nurse and two children. There
would have been one Of the most
hcartrcnding catastrophcs ever re
corded had not the nurse, with won
dcrtul forcthought, left the children
at home before she went out, and
providcntial!y stepped into chem
lists shop just before tie cab passed.
"Fhcn, too, the cabman, Just be-
fore reaching the crossing, thought
OF something he had forgotten and,
turning about, drove in the opposite
direction. Had it not been for this
wonderful concurrence Of favorable
circumstances, dotng father, a
loving mother and aifcctionatc broth
crs and sisters would have been
plunged into the deepest woe and
most unuttcrabc funeral EXPENSE"
The new reporter will be retained.

House Committee to Question the Adju-
tant General About Idaho Riots.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The house
committee on military affairs contin-
ued the investigation of the Idaho labor
riots. Mr.. Stinson concluded his narra-
tive on the treatment he received while
under arrest, and r. V. Crozier, United
States district attorney for Idaho, testi-
fed as to the prosecution of the miners.
He had prosecuted 13 of them and con-
victed 10 for interfering with mail
trains. Beyond these legal proceedings
he has no information on the subject.
He said, however, that he had expressed
the opinion that wholesale arrests by
the military without the formality of
warrants were illegal. The committee
has decided to subpoena General Corbin
and Captain Bennett of the army to get
from them certain features of the action
of the military authorities while on duty
in Idaho.

a little over year and then entered
Princeton Theological Seminary. from
which he graduated in 1888. He had
offers from six different churches to be-
come their pastor, but chose to accept
the assistant pastorate of the Goshen,
N Y, Presbyterian church. OF which
the Eminent DR.. Snodgrass, president
of the board of trustees of Princeton
Theological seminary was the pastor,
Mr.. Beattie remained two years. when
he was given a unanimous call to the
PRESBYTERIAN church of Cambridge, N.
Y, where he was eminently successful
in all departments of the church work,
and resigned his charge after eight
years to accept the unanimous call to
the church of this city. where for six
and half years he has led the church
forward through the trying experiences
of the great financial panic, that affect
ed the constituency of this church more
than of any other in this city. The
present exceedingly prosperous condl-
tion of the church is largely due to his
efforts.
Mr.. Beattie has shouldered his share
of the burdens and responsibilities OF
the presbytery and synod, having occu
pied the Craftsmanship of some of the
most important committees in these
bodies, and never been afraid to work
in advancing the cause of Christianity
under the banner of Presbyterianism.
Theologically, Mr.: Beattie entertains
most hospitable attitude toward all
new truth, is opposed to heresy trials,
and believes in keeping the purity of
the church, and the overthrow of error
and falsehood by the vindication OF
Christ's gospel through the living
power it possesses and imparts in the
the application to pratical living.
While Mr.. B. would be classed with
the liberal wing of the church. having
no sympathy with ecclesiasticism, hy-
pocritical cant in matters religious, he
is a firm believer in the integrity OF the
Bible as the Word of God, that Christ
is the Son of God and the worlds only
savior. His preaching is Christocen
trio and practical, and he fear 4ssly
believes in social regeneration only
through the application of the doctrines
Christ taught to the needs of the
present hour through the daily living
out by professed Christians of the pre-
cepts of the sermon on the Mount.
His patriotism and interest in
public affairs is we'll known.
He was one of the originators of the
public library in this city and founder
of the Fortnightly Club, that has been
one of the most fourising literary
of the city. He was
closely Unidentified with the origin and
success of the Choral society, that
fourished so long in our city. He took
a mo It active part in the municipal
reform movements of year ago. that
has proved to be an inestimable bless
ing to the city's welfare. He has assist
ed in every move for the advancement
and upbuilding of our city, and has
been a fearless advocate of what he
thought was right.
