The Democratic Emblem of 1900.

For several campaigns past the
Democrats have resented Republican
use OF the Stars and Stripes as the
party emblem. 1T is our flag. as it
is yours, they have said Indignantly.
Your attempt to make it the badge
of your partisanship is pretentious
and unwarranted.f
Bryan, now, has made for his
followers a party emblem from which
the flag is specifically excluded. The
distinguished sign of Democracy is
to-day not a flag, but a flagstaff, from
which BRYAN, the friend of A%guinaldo
and the enemy of american sovereign
ty in the territory from Spain,
has hauled the national banner. The
only mark suitable for the bare pole
thus stripped of the national colors is
a black so to l."
Meanwhile the Stars and Stripes are
kept flying steadily by a Republican
administration, and millions of patri-
otto Americans. regardless Of party
politics .-New York Sun.

They Died With Eight Orphan Children
Tied TO Them,

w. B. Stevens. the staff correspon-
dent of the Globe-Democrat who is
now in Galveston, Texas. writes of
the heroism Of the Catholic Sisters
as follows:
Galveston, Texas, September 10
The Catholic Orphans Asylum dis
appeared. leaving but slight traces in
the form of ruins. For ii time very
little of the wreckage was found. 1t
was supposed that the inmates. some
ninety-nine sisters and little child:e en-.
had been swept out into the gulf when
the water receded.
Within a couple of days bodies OF
several OF the victims at the asylum
have been found. The spcctaclcs pre-
scented were such as to make stout
hearted men, Injured ny work among
the cuine, break down.
1t appeared that when the heroic
sisters found the waters rising all
around the asylum their only thought,
were for their little charges. They
tied the children in punches. and then
each sister fastened to herself one OF
these punches of orphans, determined
to save them or die with them Two
of these punches have been found
under wreckage. In each case eight
childreu had been fastened together
and then tied to Il sister.

FOR REVISION.
Pres by terrain Committee Conn
pie tes Its Work.

Washington, Dec S.-After two hours
OF deliberations today the Presbyterian
committee concluded its discussion OF
the revision of the Westminster con-
fession of faith and adjourned.
The committee find on examination Of
the returns from the PresDyterles the
following facts:
THAT the returns plainly indicate
that the church desires some changes in
its credaI statement.
z-The returns indicate plainly that no
change is desired which would in any
way impair the integrity of the system
of doctrine contained in the confession
of faith.
3-The returns also indicate that a
large plurality desire that changes
should be made by some new statement
of present doctrines.
4-The returns also indicate a desire
upon the part of many Presbyteries for
some revision Of the present confession.
Sit was therefore unanimously
agreed by the committee to recommend
to the general assembly that some re-
vision or change be made in our confess
sionaI statements. Substantial but not
final agreement was reached as to the
method of preparing changes eInbodytng
both revision and supplemental state
ment; but the determining of the whole
matter was deferred to q subsequent
meeting.
The committee will meet in this city
on February II next to finally prepare

SANTA FE WINS.
Supreme Court Says Expired Tickets
Not Good For Rides.

In the case of Lena Price of Wood
ward, L T. for damages from the Santa
Fe for being put off a train by ''forcible
persuasion the decision of the lower
courts in favor of the defendant was
reversed in the supreme court today.
The defendants brother bought a round
trip ticket from Woodward to Wichita,
and the petition set forth that he called
for an unlimited ticket.
He was given by the agent at Wood
ward a limited ticket and when the
ticket was presented for return passage
the conductor refused to honor it be-
cause of the expiration thereof and the
defendant was put off the train.
The court held that notwithstanding
what that purchaser thought, the
ticket was not ambiguous as to it's terms
nor the conditions doubtful in their
meaning, and that the acceptance of the
same and it's use constituted a contract
between the carrier and the passenger
which being in writing could not be con-
tradicted nor varied by parol evidence"
