Much of the days session was devoted
to the reading and referring overtures
from the synods and presbyteries of the
South. The Presbytery of Brownwooa,
Texas, asked for a modification of the
pastoral letter in reference to dancing.
The Florida Presbytery advocated a

a deliverance on the question as ito
whether it is constitutional to invite a
minister of corresponding denomination
to offer prayer at installation.
There were numerous overtures pro-
testing against the insertion of foot
note to confession of faith on the elect
infant clause and they were referred to
a special committee composed of one rep

At the afternoon session reports were
received from several ad interim commit

Greensboro, N. c., May 17.-Last night
Rev. DR.. John c. Kilgo addressed a meet
ing in this city of few friends of Trinity
College and Greensboro Female College.
He spoke of his work at Trinity during
his administration of seven years, tell
ing of the great advancement made by
the college, which now stands at the
head of all Southern Methodist colleges.
Ten years ago, DR.. Kilgo said, Trinity
had an endowment of $22, $50; today it is
1898, ,750 Ten years ago there were but
ten buildings. There are now twenty-one
and preparations are being made to erect
a library building at a cost of 1900. Dur
ing the past decade the faculty has been
increased from nine to twenty men,
of which nineteen were trained at Trinity.
This was a record that no other institu-
ton in the South could show said DR..
KiIgo. There are now $50 students in the
college and high school
In speaking of the trials and difficult
ties that had beset the college, DR..
Kilgo said he thanked God that Trinity
had some enemies. When certain men
realized that they could no longer use
the college as a political football and to
advance their selfish ends, their wrath
boiled and they set about to cut the
throats of the men who had brought about
the change.
DR.. Kilgo said one great drawback to
Southern colleges had been an atmos-
phere of provincialism surrounding the in
stitutions, making it difficult to train men
fitted for the responsibilities of broad and
aggressive leadership. If a spirit of in
dependence began to assert itself in a
State institution, the wrath of domi-
nant political party might be invoked and
a Legislature stood ready to threaten

A Cord of Wood.

Few persons comprehend the produc-
tive capacity of cord of wood. Chem
ical experiments are occasionally de-
veloping new uses for wood in matters
remote from its ordinary adaptability,
and the feature that is exciting a great
deal of interest just now is the trans
formation of wood products into liquids.
Although under the strongest kind of
pressure wood yields scarcely any mois-
ture, by means of heat wood will evolve
gases and liquids of marked potency and
utility. In converting wood into char
coal gases and smoke arise which can be
condensed into pyroligneous acid. 1t is
estimated that there is fully So per cent
of this acid in a given quantity of wood,
and from it are extracted wood alcohol,
acetate of lime and wood tars. The al
cohol thus obtained is said to be a very
satisfactory substitute for grain alcohol
for mechanical and manufacturing pur-
poses, and it can be produced at less
than one-third of the cost of the grain
alcohol.
Investigations conducted with prac-
teal objects in view have disclosed
these interesting facts: A cord of wood
which weighs 1000 pounds will yield
about 2, $50 pounds of pyroligneous acid
and 700 pounds of charcoal; the acid
will produce about gallons of SO per
cent crude wood alcohol, about 25 gal
Ions of tar and fully 200 pounds of ace
tate of lime. These facts indicate fu-
ture for wood outside of the realm of
fuel and pulp.-New York Times.

the Warship's Departure.

Acting Secretary Hacl1ett was advised
yesterday afternoon by telegram from
San Francisco that the battleship Iowa
had sailed from that port for Panama.
She is expected to arrive at her destina-
ton within about ten days. as soon as
possible. and before the Ranger reaches
Panama. The Machias will be the first of
the American vessels to reach the 18TH
mus. She win doubtless arrive at Colon
the latter part of this week.
The North Atlantic Squadron now off
Newport. has been ordered to Hampton
Roads and will be there on August 25c.
Not all OF the maneuyres have yet been
completed at Newport and this leads to
the conclusion that the department in or
dering the vessels there had in view the
object of having them practically two
days nearer the Isthmus in case it be-
comes necessary 10 send an additional
ship to Colon to assist the Machias in pro-
tecting American interests there
The target practice and-oth maneu-
vres will be, continued, however. at
Hampton Roads.
No statement has as yet been made
either by the State or Navy Department
to the effect that more ships would be
sent to the .Isthmus. but it is a fact that
they will be held in readiness to go,
should occasion arise to demand their
presence.

FOLLOWING BICYCLE THEFTs.
The Police Make Three Additional
Arrests of Suspected Youths.

Detective Tyser has arrested Clayton
Seller. aged twenty-four years, Ernest
Arnold. colored. and James II. Simms.
eighteen years of age, on charges of re-
ceiving stolen property. Seller secured
his release last night on $40 collateral. to
appear with the others this morning for
trial.
The prisoners are suspected of having
bought bicycles which had been stolen
from various persons during month
past. One of these wheels belonged to
Arthur st. Clair. the police say, and was
purchased by Seller. who keeps a second
hand store at Eighth Street and North
Carolina Avenue southeast. The bicycle
is valued at about so but Tyser thinks
that Seller paid considerably less for it.
Likewise Arnold and Simms are accused
of buying wheels stolen from any of a
dozen people. 1t is even said several BIZ
cycles reported stolen were found at the
store of one of the prisoners.
Some time ago Detective Tyser made
several arrests of persons charged with
stealing bicycles. and more than dozen
wheels reported missing by their owners
were then recovered. II is said Informa-
ton given the detectives by the former
prisoners led to the arrests made yester-
day
Charles Grimes aged twenty-five years,
Is under arrest at the Ninth precinct sta
ton charged with stealing diamond
ring valued at SI5, from NJ T. Hender-
son, of 931 Third Street southeast. The
arrest was made yesterday by Detective
Tyser. on warrant sworn out by Hen
derson.
The story in the case seems to be that
Grimes obtained the ring from n girl
named Bell, while at Chesapeake June
ton. ten days ago. The prisoner then
proceeded to pawn the ring for $50. it is
said, and afterward he even displayed
nerve by selling the ticket. Henderson.
after a time, went to the girl in search
of his ring and she told him to get it
from Crimes Nothing was doing, how
ever. in this direction. as Grimes had dis
posed of the ticket. and said he could not
redeem the ring. according to the po-
lice Then Henderson became wrathy
and swore out warrant, charging Grimes
with theft The prisoner will be arraign-
ed TODAY in the Police Court.
