LIE PRESBYTERIAN CREED

The committee Of twenty appointed
at the last Presbyterian Assembly to
revise the creed of the Presbyterian
Church so as to make It more popularity
understood, has begun it's work at
Washington.
Liberal thinkers will regard the de-
scription Of the duties of this commit
tee as an admirable choice of words be-
cause nothing can be done or should be
done with the Presbyterian creed IN
less it is to be made to conform to the
actual beliefs OF members Of that
church and those actual beliefs are not
believed to be generally in conformity
with the letter of the present creed.
If the committee does It's work sue
cessfuIIy, the Presbyterian Church will
not only have a creed that will be more
popularity understood" but its mem
bership will feel the sense of relief at
having their own beliefs conforming
more closely to the creed Of the church
to which they belong and in which
they continue TO worship.

Chicago, Nov. ga step toward the
abolition of professionalism from col
lege athletics was taken today by the
faculty representatives of the inter
collegiate conference. who held an all
day session here.
The following rule was adopted:
mo student is eligible to compete
in a college team who plays in So
called amateur, semi professional or
professional baseball games where gate
money is charged. or where prizes,
premiums or purses are offered"
Whether the rule shall be retroactive
was not settled by the committee
After the meeting it was announced
that this phase of the matter had not
been thought of or discussed.
1t was voted to discourage prolonged
absences from colleges on tours as far
as pssible, it being the opinion of the
members of the committee that it Is
not advisable for teams to be long alb
sent from their respective institutions.
The bicycle event was dropped from
all the programs of college athletic
meets for the future.
A rule was passed that the limit of
four years in college athletics. beyond
which a student shall not be eligible
to contest, means four years in the
aggregate, and not four years on any
one team.

TOTAL NUMBER OF
DEATHS ABOUT EIGHTY

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 29.-An an in
terview this evening with Thomas E.
Moran, deputy customs collector at
this port, bears out the estimate that
at least so lives were lost in Wednes-
day nights collision on the Wabash
Railroad near Seneca. The two immi-
grant cars in which the greatest loss
of life occurred were part of the i'm
migrant train which crossed Detroit
River from Canada on the ferryboat
GreatWestern on Wednesday afternoon.
Deputy Moran inspected the baggage
of its passengers and he says that
there were 100 Italians in the two cars
at the very least calculation. In adj
dition to these there were 10 more in
the smoking car which was ahead of
the two emigrant cars. official advices
in the office of Supt. Burns, of this
division of the Wabash Railroad say
that of the Italians in the wreck 20 es-
capped unhurt and We're taken to st.
Louis, Is are in the company's hos
pital at Peru, Ind, there are six others
in Peru and are near Adrian, injured.
Subtracting these AZ from the ITO i'm
migrants who Deputy Moran says
We're aboard the train, leaves a loss
among the Italians alone of 81. In ad-
dition, eight other bodies were recov-
cred and identified, which makes a
total of rs dead.

ing to recover 100000 francs damages
from Joseph Reinach, the Dreyfus sup

This suit has caused much comment
on account Of the unexpected with

counsel for Monsieur Reinach, on ac-

The American people are no longer
able to throw stones at the French

was as silly and unnecessary in many
respects as that Of Dreyfus.

ridge has been exceedingly successful
in his present position as state super
intendent of public works. He took the
position when that department was
cause of public scandal. Money had
been wasted for political purposes, and
but for having man like Roosevelt to
lead the Republican party, the scandal
in this department under Gov. Black
would have meant the defeat of the Re
publcans in that state and made i'm
possible the great advance in state re-
forms and salvation of New York city

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The world will not take alarm be-
cause Emperor William has made this
little speech to some naval cadets at
Kiel: Il desire war as little as my
lamented grandfather, who, when war
was forced on him, set out at the head
of the army sharing its dangers and
its hardships. I expect that you will
be faithful to the oath that you have
just taken. and show yourself worthy
of your fathers as they fought in 1870,
should l have to lead you to war"
When the Emperor was younger and
had just assembled the throne he was
fond of raising the hair Of his neigh
bors by such dark portents But they
are now taken in a Pickwickian sense.
