ONE HUNDRED MEN ENTOMBED
Explosion I'm British CO1Iiery Means
Death to Many Miners.

London, May 24-An explosion occurred
this morning at the Universal colliery at
Senghenydd, in the Rhondda valley.
About a hundred men were in the pit at
the time of the disaster and there is lit
tie hope of saving the lives of any of
them.
The rescuers at the universal colliery
are working with great difficulty owing
to lack of air. Five bodies have been re-
covered. The wreckage of the pit is COM
plete, almost precluding hope that the
imprisoned men can have survived. There
are seventy-eight miners missing.
The rescuers have found a few more
bodies, but there is no hope that seventy
miners who are still entombed will De
brought out alive.

INFANT DAMNATION
TWO PRESBYTERIAN BODIES DIS
CUss REVISION.
NO CHANGE AT LITTLE ROCK
SOUTHERN CHURCH STANDS BY
THE OLD CONFESSION.

The Minority Report, Amending
Clause Relating to Elect Infants,
Rejected, and the Majority Report,
Giving Strong Reasons Against
the Change, Adopted-NOrthern
Presbyterians show Decided Incli-
nation to RevisiOn-The Subject
Ably Discussed for and Against by
Distinguished Divines.
Little Rock, Ark, May 24.-At to-nights S
session of the Southern Presbyterian Gen
eral Assembly, majority and minority re-
ports from the special committee on
elect infant" clause were submitted.
Judge Greene of Fort Worth presented
the minority report which recommended
that the following be sent down to the
presbyteries for their concurrence:
That Section 8, Chapter 10, of, the Con-
fession of Faith be amended by adding
the words nothing in this section shall
be understood as holding or teaching the
possibility of the damnation of an infant
dying in infancy. Our church does not
hold nor never has held such doctrines. -
The minority report was rejected and
the majority report presented by Rev.
Beattie of Louisville was adopted. The
majority report rescinds the order of the
last general assembly to print in every
edition of the Confession of Faith there
after an explanatory foot note regarding
infants dying in infancy. but the report
states that this section is in no way 10
be taken as modifying the answer made
to the overtures in the last assembly.
Concerning overtures from various syn
DDS and presbyteries as to the salvation
of infants dying in infancy the majority re-
port as adopted tonight recommends that
no action be taken for the following rea-
sons:
Relates Only to the Elect.
Because it is unwise to initiate at this
time the agitation of this question among
the people.
Because no modification that does not
eliminate scriptura4 Calvanism from this
section of the Confession will obviate the
objection which comes from Armenian
sources.
Because the Westminster Confession of
Faith is the first great creed which taught
the salvation of infants dying in infancy
on truly scriptural grounds.
Because the Confession of Faith in this
section does not teach the damnation of
any infant dying in infancy for the reason
that the contrast made in it is not be-
tween elect and non-elect infants dying
in infancy, but between elect persons VINO
die in infancy and elect persons who DO
not die in infancy. 4g
Because, while we have weTl-grounded
hope founded on Scripture that all in
fants dying in infancy are saved, yet the
Confession of Faith goes as far as the
Scriptures justify positive credal state
ment upon the subject.

TRADE REPORr.

New York.-Bradstreet's Report for
last week is as follows:
Aside from quite perceptible In
crease OF the spirit Of unrest in labor
circles there are few new changes to
record in the general trade or indus
trial situation. Business at present the
country over Is of seasonable recorder
character with wholesalers In dry
goods, clothing and similar lines. but
the volume of business Is fair for the
season and collections are rapid like
wise. The basic facts underlying the
situation continue largely Of favor
able character. Notable in this respect
Is the crop situation. particularly for
the cereals. which is in high degree
promising. The backward spring and
lack of rains in some sections has mill
tated against the growth Of cotton. but
Improvement Is noted even in this re-
spect. The industries are active. Iron
and steel are strong but quiet as re-
CARDS new demand for the new cruiser
forms. but the finished products have
been heavily ordered and the mills
have sufficient business to keep them
busy from one to three months. while
large additional business Is reported
in sight
Foreign trade continues largely to
favor this country and the demand for
wheat to replace possible smaller yields
in European countries has swelled the
volume of export trade. which might
otherwise have fallen OF from April a
year ago because OF smaller shipments
OF cotton and Of manufactured goods.
Despite the talk Of rate cutting and
Of expectations of smaller movement
OF goods as the spring advances. rail-
way earnings continue exceptionally
favorable, some great systems report
ing maximum weekly earnings. Prob
ably the best reports as to the new de
mand come from the leather and allied
trades. while the poorest as heretofore
are received from the textile indus
tries.

WEARY WOMEN
Throughout the Land Many Are
Shaving Over the Needle
and Wearing Them
selves Out.
Don ~ Maine Farmer, Asqus.a.

There are many women all over the
land who are earning living by the
use of the needle. Confinement in
close rooms and the trying nature OF
their work often causes them to grow
pale and wan and to experience feel
ing OF constant WEAKNESS. This goes
on, sometimes, until nature rebels and
health breaks down. There is one
way and only one way to restore the
impaired vitality, and that is to
strengthen the worn out nerves and
build up and nourish the impoverish-
ed blood. Ii the blood is kept healthy
and rich and the nerves strong, new
life and energy will soon be felt.
This was the experience of Mrs. Addie
r. Holt, a dressmaker, Of No. 10

says:

experience a worn out feeling. Some
