firmly, "you cannot photograph that

The tourist looked at the statue in

MOuerAtOr TO lie chairman OF new
Committee On Revision.
Philadelphia, Mny 2S.-'rhe presby
terrain general assembly engaged In q
lively debate over the approval of the
minutes. Rev. DR.. j. d. Moffat object.
ed to the phraseology of the resolution
creating the committee on revision.
The resolution authorized the contnu-
ance of DIR. pickey's committee, and
DR.. Moffat claimed that this commit
tee had been dissolved when it's re-
port was adopted. He therefore sug-
gested that the records be made to
show that a new committee was ap-
pointed. even though its membership
should consist of the old committee.
The wording of the resolution was
accordingly altered, and the minutes
were adopted
Then arose the question as to the
craftsmanship of the committee. DR.
Herrick- johnson said in view of the
fact that DIR. Dickey had acted as
chairman of the old committee 1t woult
be discourte0us to select new chair
man. A motion was made empowering
the committee to elect its own chair
man, but this was defeated.
DIR. Moffat said Dir. Dickey had beer
made chairman of the last committed
because of his office MS moderator o.
the assembly. He moved the election
OF Moderator Alinton as chairman O
the new committee on revision, ant
the motion was carried.

Cape Town, May 2S.-The dash of
Kritsingers invaders of Cape Colony
to the south was checked at Vandoes-
berg by the swift movement of Cor
ringers and other columns. The in
vaders. finding their way barred,
swerved to the northeast toward
Cloethe. The continued capture of
horses by the British is apparently i'm
pairing the Beers mobility.
The official summary of the weeks
military operations shows that Colonel
Henniker has driven Scheapers' COM
mando from the hills at Graaff Reinet,
on the Somerset boundary, to the hills
Is miles north of Aberdeen. Letezan's

A dispatch from Pretoria says: 1.-THE
Boer General Schoeman and his daugh-

| General Schoeman, his family and
some friends were examining a A. inch
lyd1ite shell, which they kept In the
house as . curiosity, when the shell
exploded, killing the general OH the
spot, MORALLY wounding his daughter
and severely injuring his wife and two
other persons"
General Schoeman was a great Kru-
Egerite. He led the commando of Coles
berg and surrendered on the occupa-
ton of Pretoria. He was afterward
captured by the Beers and released
when the British occupied Barberton.
The general then went on a peace
mission, was retaken by the Beers and
was again released when the British
took Petersburg Since that time Zen
eral Schoeman had resided IN Pretoria
