MEETING OF pREsByreRlAns.
One Hundred and Twelfth Annual AS
sembly Held in st. Louis.


sembly Held in st. Louis.
The Presbyterian general assembly, the
lawmaking body of that church, began its
one hundred and twelfth annual meeting
Thursday at the Washington and Comp
ton Avenue Presbyterian Church in st.
Louis. Nearly ] 1000 commissioners and
delegates, representing all the Northern
and Western States and territories, and
many Of those in the South, with the
synods of Central and South China,
North China and India, were in attend
ance at the opening session. Among them
were many eminent diyines and promi-
nent laymen.
Washington and Compton Avenue
Presbyterian Church, in which the man
deliberations of the body were TO be held,
had been decorated and fitted with ev-
erytning that would minister to the com
fort and convenience of those in attend
ance. In the lecture room there was
PRESBYTERIAN book store, a postoftice, a
telegraph station, telephone connections,
writing tables and stationery. Matters
of great Importance were slated for con-
sideration during the gathering, and it
was thought it would probably be two
weeks before final adjournment.
The Rev. DIR. Charles A. Dickey of
Philadelphia was elected moderator. His
principal competitors were Dr. Mckibbin
of Cincinnati and DIR. d. w. Fisher of
Hanover College. The new moderator
IS opposed to the revision Of the creed,
and his election is considered Il victory
for the conservatives. DR.. Dickey said
he was inclined to regard the agitation as
much ado about nothing, that the men
who bob up here and there throughout
the country with TRADE against the
Westminster confession were seeking no.
toriety or else failed to comprehend the
relation between that confession and the
presbyterian church.
"The Westminster confession" he
said, SIS now and always has been mere
ly a system of doctrine and as such is
subscribed to by every minister of the
church when he takes his vows. There
are many things in the confession of
faith that are not subscribed to by min
listers at the time Of taking their vows
and the various presbyteries have allow
ed great latitude of individual thought
and ordained many men holding views
apparently at variance with the loglcei
significance of certain clauses, yet in per-
feet accord with the general doctrinal
system it reveals"
The question of revision of the West
minister confession is not new one
Eleven years ago certain doctrines OF
the creed, notably those concerning cleo
ton and pretertion, were thought too
strong, and committee was appointed
to act on their revision, but in 1898 only
sixty-seven out of 220 presbyteries APP
proved any amendments.
At the opening session of the assem-

MAKES MANY MOTHERS MAD.
Address of Professor ChrismaE Is Re.
scented by 5000 Women.


At the second days session of the Ma
tiona1 Congress OF Mothers in Des
AIoines great Indignation was raised by
the address of Oscar Chrisman. A. NJ,
Ph. D.. professor of pathology or child
study IN the State normal school at En-
poria, Kan. Men never love as
women do, he said. Instantly the big
convention hall was filled with Kisses,
and it was several minutes before the
speaker could proceed. He continued To
say that women were made for love and
men for reason This was greeted by
an indignant protest from 5000 threats.
The professor dropped this branch of the
subject and went on with his address.
At its conclusion dozen women leaped
20 their feet and demanded recognition.
Mrs. Birney, who was presiding, gave
the floor to Mrs Winfield s. Hall of Ber
wyn, H., who cried in a voice that reach

The meetings of the congress were well
attended and full of interest. More than
! 900 delegates were in attendance from
out of the town. Policemen had to help
keep the doors closed Tuesday on account
of the crush. Gov. and Mrs. Shaw re-
ceived the delegates in formal recep-

BOOMING THE WEST.
Railroads Expect to Build 200 New
Towns in the Near Future,

ISADeCt TO 1S11lu ZOU New
Towns in the Near Future.
Railroads centering in ChieasA are
booming the territory betwetX Lake
Michigan and the Rocky Mountains, and
it is expected that 100000 will be added
to the population in the next eighteen
months. Pamphlets stating plainly the
resources and advantages of the West are
being distributed throughout Europe, as
well as in our own New England and At
lantic coast States, at the expense of the
transportation companies. New towns
are being staked out along the lines of all
the railroad extensions. The number OF
new towns that will appear on the maps
of the West within the next year or
those to which from COO to 600 new popu-
lation is to be added already number 173.
Before 1902 it is believed this number
will exceed 200. Areas neglected in the
past, while trunk lines we're building, are
receiving the closest attention from rail
road land commissioners and traffic man
ayers.
The railroads know that with new set
Elements there will be increased freight
business, and the carrying of passengers
between local points will add immensely
to their revenues. Where the companies
own the land on which they locate a town
they are giving away free of charge
site for a public school and another for
church. The Northwestern road has
10000 acres of unsold land in South Da
kota and 10000 acres in southwestern
Minnesota. This ranges in value from "a
to SO per acre. In Wisconsin and Mich
igan, the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul road has between 100000 and 100,
0o0 acres of what was once classified rs
worthless land, which it claims now is exz
ceedingly rich and we'll suited for timothy
hay, celery and sheep raising. The land
sells for about $3.50 an acre. The Santa
Fe is booming the southwest and the
opening up of new lines has already re
suited in the location or development Of
eighty new towns, representing an in
crease in population of fully 25,000. The
Northwestern Pacific is doing similar
work in the far northwest 1t has opened
up twenty new towns with a population
exceeding 10000 The Great Northern
is developing the unsettled portions of
northern Dakota and is about to open
fifteen new towns, with a population Of
5000.

MAFEKING is FREE.
SIEGE is RAISED AFTER MONTHS
OF PERIL.
Baden Poweli's Garrison of British.
Soldiers Freed from the Boer Gordon
Which Has Surrounded Them SINGS
the Opening of the War.

Advices reached Sydney, y. S. W.,
Friday announcing the relief of MAIZE
king. The news was received with en-
thusiastic demonstrations and the Gov
eminent proclaimed a holiday. y special
dispatch from Lorenzo Marques says The
last 900 refugee: who arrived there agree
that Mafeking has been relieved.
The history of the siege of Mafeking
dates from Oct. II, the day Of the be-
ginning of the war. The armed force of
Britons within the city at that time did
not exceed 700. What it numbers now
is purely matter of conjecture. In COM
parison London fears it is a mere handful
and the reports of the various battles
and skirmishes give color TO this appre-
hension. Bulletins of British victories
have always been accompanied with lists
of casualties more or less large.
A sample of the British sorties was the
one on the day after Christmas Under
the leadership of Captain Vernon the sol
diers fought their way up TO the entrance
to the Boer trenches. True, they Were
repulsed and their loss was dissstrolEly
heavy TO a garrison so small, but tAe
courage displayed in the daring charge
was alike an inspiration to the defenders
of the city and an object lesson TO the
besiegers.
Attacks in force, prior to the final I'M
availing attempt May -, We're made by
the Beers on Oct. 81, Feb. IL and March
30. The first one was of only one days
duration, but the other two each contin-
ned for two days. The most disastrous
one for the garrison was the battle in the
closing days of March, when, according
to advices from British sources, nearly
every officer in the city was wounded.
The defense or Mafeking by the heroic
British garrison under Col. Baden-P Powell
will live in history. Individual valor was
even more markedly displayed than col
lective bravery. Courage in battle was
coupled with endurance under privation,
which, it has been said, has as a parable,
in the annals of the British army only
the indomitabIe resistance at the siege
OF Lucknow. Fever and famine were
foes even more persistent than were the
Afr.kanders.
Under almost continuous bOmbardraent
and frequently called upon TO repel at
tacks in force, the garrison was never
surprised. The soldiers slept beside their
arms, and in this ease the expression is
literally correct. Night alarms were fire.
quent and the response was as prompt
as if the men had already been lined up
in expectation of battle. Strengthening
of courage was the only sequel TO grad
ual weakening of numbers from the fire
of the enemy without or the ravages of
disease within.

Mrs. Allen X. Capron, widow of the
former captain of the Rough Riders, is
on her way to the Philippine Islands,
where she is going to serve as a nurse in
the Red Cross Society. Mrs. Capron says
she is doing this in obedience to her dead
husbands wishes. just before his death
Capt. Capron wrote to his wife, saying
he wished she would come to Cuba to
nurse the wounded. The next news she
received of him was cablegram stating
he had been killed in action.
Capt Capron was stationed at Fort
Sill, Okla, guarding Indians, when Col.
Roosevelt called upon him to join the
Rough Riders. Capron lost no time in
getting up several companies of Indians
and cowboys from around Fort Sill.
These he offered to Roosevelt and they
We're accepted, Capron going to Cuba in
command of one of the companies.
Mrs. Capron has remained at Fort Sill
with her children ever since the tragic
death of her husband But she had not
forgotten the letter urging her to become
a nurse. Recently she applied to the Red
Cross Society, was accepted, and is now
en- route to the Philippines.
