respond with the church at large and
learn the desire Of the different pres
byteries with regard to a revision of
the standard of the church.
THE committee met in Saratoga
last August and formulated four ques-
tions, which were sent to the differ
ent presbyteries for answer. These
questions propounded queries as to
whether 1t was advisable to change
the creed or not, and If a change We're
decided upon, concerning the form
such a change should take.
Another meeting of the committee
was held in December last in Wash
ington and the answers received from
the different presbyteries were tabu-
lated. 1t was found that there was d
very distinct sentiment in favor Of
some sort of change in the statement
M IA & to he fSs4st,a !, -,
change should take, the answers from
the presbyteries differed. A majority
of the presbyteries expressed them
selves in favor of brief restatement
of the creed. On the other hand. a
strong minority favored the retention
of the old statement, but wished it
amended in some manner.
THE methods of change advocated
by the minority of the presbyteries
and upheld by a minority of the com
mfttee, demanded changes in the text
of the creed. but no one voice was
raised in favor OF any change which
should at all touch the reformed sys-
tenn of doctrine. Since these answers
have been received the committee has
been engaged in trying to follow the
wishes OF the church in the matter,
and, while there have been differ
ences of opinion about the precise
manner of change, change is adYo-
Gated by all.
After a pleasant and harmonious
meeting of two days. the committee
decided upon two important features
of the plan for revision. which will be
presented to the general assembly.
These features are as follows, and are
the most urgently demanded by the
presbyteries:
"First-A new statement of doc
trine to be issued as a supplement to
the confession OF faith
Second-A revision of the confess
sion itself, either by the addition of
a deelaratory paragraph or a change

ed that some of the judges are sending
death-bed convicts to the state farm.
From Heard county there was recently
sent a convict bereft of one arm, one
leg and one eye. From Johnson county
there came a man with no legs at all.
This article was read to Mr.. Os-
borne, and he listened with indlgna-
ton.
TT is slanderous," he said. land
do not believe that Mr.. Yancey has
ever said any such thing. He might
have said something on the subject,
which has been amplfied by some one
else. The article can, of course, have
no bearing in Chatham county. Here
neither the solicitor general nor any
other officer of the court receives one
cent from misdemeanor convicts sem
fenced to terms of Imprisonment, as
they are all employed on the chain
gang of the county. In some of the
counties, where no gang is maintained,
the convicts are leased to private par
ties and from the fund received for
their hire the court officers collect the
costs allowed them by law in each
case.
There never was any such case as
the alleged instance cited from Savan-
nah," said the solicitor general. Il
remember the case of one woman,
tried on three successive misdemeanor
charges, who was sent to the gang for
a year in each case. This is the
longest collection of sentences for mis-
demeanors that l remember having
been imposed.
Three years ago the general as
sembly passed a law permitting juries
in certain cases of felonies to recon-
mend, in connection with verdicts of
guilty, that the punishment shall be
for a misdemeanor and this recon-
mendations, when made, is usually fol-
lowed by the court.
"In cases of felonies, which are
technical merely. and when it seems
to me that the ends Of justice VIII lie
conserved by punishment on the chain
gang, 1 have permitted these defend
ants to plead guilty, to be punished in
this manner. Twelve months, digging
in trench, l have always regarded
as punishment sufficiently severe for
small offenses. Furthermore, I have
no hesitation in saying that have al
ways been willing to let the county
have the benefit of the services of these
convicts. when that punishment, in my
judgment, was suffi -'catlY sever SC

Ievance in Chatham County,
Though Case From Here Is Cited
as an Example.
A dispatch from Atlanta, printed in
several of the papers of the state, be-
gins with the remark that secretary
Goodloe Yancey of the Prison Commits
sion seems to think that the solicitors
general of the state are thriving at the
expense of the penitentiaries of the
state"
The dispatch makes other statements,
which criticise the solicitors general
and the judiciary as well, and which
those who know Mr.. Yancey do not
believe he is going to father when they
are brought to his attention. This lat
ter is the view of Solicitor General o.
borne, who was seen last night in ref
erence to the matter. The dispatch
says:
THE judges of some of the circuits
Of the state are palming off all the
manned and halt that come through
their judicial mills on the state, while
the misdemeanor camps are allowed to
get as many able-bodied as is possible
under the law. and some of these
Judges make the most of the POSSIBLE
ties before them.
ct is said that what in reality ought
to be felony cases are reduced in pun
ishment to misdemeanors, so that the
culprit goes to the county chain gang
for twelve months, whereas he ought
to go TO the state penitentiary for a
term Of years.
Men charged with burglaries, as
saults with intent to murder and so
on. are ground through his process
into fine grists for the solicitors. They
are hired or farmed out in the coun-
ties for $12 to $13 per head per month,
and this fund goes into the pockets of
the county officers, the solicitor gem
eral getting by far the biggest piece
of the pie.
"a few instances are cited to show
these men are being diverted from the
state to the county camps, while de-
crepit convicts are foisted upon the
state.
"A case from Savannah is given as
an illustration. A negro was charged
with burglary. He is described as a
two-story burglar-one OF the kind that
goes around on dark nights with a
dark lantern and pistol prepared Ia
shoot and kill.
Five cases were made against him.
and he received as many sentences for
a year each In the county changing
making a total sentence OF nve years.

Hunting.
Though as a rule there is but little
hunting done by Savannah sportsmen
at this season of the year, certain game
is so plentiful just at present that
many small parties are going on shoot
ing expeditions every day.
Their bag is composed chiefly Of
snipe, plover and blue wing" teal. all
of which are found in the greatest
abundance within very short distance
of the city. In fact for the snipe it is
necessary to go no further than to the
rice fields across the river, while the
ducks are found a few miles further
up the river, but still within easy reach
of the city.
Though the hunters are still prevent
ed by the game law from shooting
cartridges which consequently are not
being hunted, they are reported by all
that go for other game to be in greater
numbers this season than has been the
case for several years.

UNWoNTED LUXUR[ES ON HAND
The Remarkable Hospitality for
Guests at n welsh Country
House.

A well-known London paper has
been giving accounts of a country
house where the servants are PAM
pered to such a degree that they have
their own billiard-room and marker,
with all sorts of rather unnecessary
luXuries. This undoubtedly refers to
Worth Park, nor Horsham, the resi-
dence of Mrs. Montefore and her son,
Sir Francis Montefiore, who succeed
ed that wonderful centenarian, Sir
Moses Montefiore.
But, after all, there never was such
luxury in any house as that belonging
to Mr.. Price, of Rhwlys, Wales. All
sorts of wonderful things took place
there. For instance, the guests found
stamped envelopes, telegraph forms
and receipt bills up to e1, four or
five different soaps on the wash
stands, and scents of several kinds
on the dressing tables. In the ladies'
rooms there was every conceivable
kind of hair pins, while pins to match
every colored dress were placed in
pin cushions.
At night, it is said, sandwiches and
whisky and brandies and sodas were
placed on one side of the bed, while
on the other were black draught pills
and several kinds of medicines. Va
rious carriages were placed at the dis
posal of the guests, and servant was
kept busy all night in case anyone
should require anything.

WILL IGNORE THE POPE.
VIII BE Called Prince of
Rome.

The young king and queen of Italy
will be blessed with issue, but the
glad news will not be officially known
for couple of months yet. King
Humbert, at the time of his sons mar
riage to Princess Helena of Monte
negro, stated that in the event of a
son being born he would receive the
title of prince of Rome. Although
the statement was made privately, the
vatican heard of it, as it hears of ev-
erything that transpires at the royal
court, and formal protest was made.
The protest will doubtless be renewed
if Helena should have the happiness
to bear son, but young Victor EN-
manuel will pay no heed to it, his
murdered fathers wishes being sacred
to him.
