The leading article in the December
Atlantic is a timely discussion of Eek
pansion through Reciprocity" by John
Ball Osborne. Referring to President
McKinley's last address, and continuing
with a broad and incisive SURVEY of the
whole subject, Mr.. Osborne reaches the
conclusion that our present foreign ex-
pansion cannot long continue without
meeting vigorous tariff opposition from
foreign governments, unless we disarm
such opposition in advance by means of
reciprocity.
What makes the investigation of the
water resources of the country, which the
United States geological survey is carry

great area amounting to two-thirds OF
the western half of the country, has
so dry a climate that water, not land is
the vitality important thing. Most of this
vast tract is now arid, and to be made
habitable and fruitful must receive the
moisture from the streams which does
not get from rains; hence the nece ity OF

FIX TIME FOR CREED REVISION
Presbyterian General Assembly Takes
Up Question Thursday.


Philadelphia, May 20.-The great
question before the Presbyterian
church for years-the revision OF the
confession Of faith-will be taken up
by the general assembly on Thursday.
The hearing and the consideration OF
the report of the committee upon the
revision of the credal statements OF
the church, appointed at st. Louis last
year, was made special order for that
day and the matter win remain be-
fore the assembly until it is disposed
of. at this time It is impossible TO
forecast the action Of the commission
ors. The committee in its report re
commends the appointment Of Q con-
mittoe as provided for in the form
of government and that this committee
be instructed to prepare brief sum

the same relation to the confession
which the shorter catechism bears to
the larger catechism."
There is a considerable number Of
commissioners who believe such a
committee will be appointed, but
many of them will not venture an opin-

of the instructions to be given the new
commission. There are six or seven
factions, and each one will contend

sons COW to death. Mrs. Garrison
ran from the house. Conway met her
at the steps and emptied both barrels
into her breast, she falling dead at his
feet. The murderer next set fire to the
Garrison stable. Conway then barri-
caded himself in his house and when
Patrolman Wallis attempted to arrest
him, Conway shot him in the face
and side. Wallis will die.

The Savannah morning news., 1901-01-12
From Pearson's Magazine.


The fact of the matter is that every
paint mark on an Indians face is sign
with a definite meaning which other In
dams may read. When an Indian puts on
his full war paint he decks himself not
only with his own individual honors and
distinctions won by his own bravery, but
also with the special honors of his fam
iy or tribe. He may possess one mark
or distinction only, or many-in fact, he
may be so well off in this respect that.
like some English nobemen, he Is able
to don a new distinction for every occa-
sion. Sometimes he will wear all his hon
ors at one time.
Among the Indian tribes is one designat-
ed by the symbol of the dogish, painted in
red on the face The various parts of
the fish are scattered heterogeneously on
the surface of the face; the peculiarly
long snout is painted on the forehead {;
the gills are represented by two curved
lines below the eyes, while the tail is
shown as cut in two and hanging from
either nostril. When only one or two
parts of an animal are painted on a mans
face it is an indication of inferiority;
when the whole animal appears, even
though in many oddly assorted parts. the
sign is one of great value and indicates
a high rank.
Very peculiar are some of the honor
able symbols painted on the Indians
faces. There are fish, flesh and fowl OF
all kinds-dog salmon, devilhsh, stariish,
woodpeckers, eagles, ravens, wolves,
bears sea lions and sea monsters, mos
duitoes, frogs, mountain goats and all
manner of foot, claw or beak maIks-each
with a special meaning of its own.
