DR.. s. M. Orr, president of the

if the company contemplates any
further increase. To these inquiries
he has replied that nothing of the

there is even now a demand for more

Mills has signified it's readiness to
double the size of the mill if it can
secure the necessary electric power,
and the company has received other
offers to purchase all the power it

Plumer was on trial, so to speak,
before his brethren, and some Of
those present on that occasion will
recall how very eloquent the old
man was in what he said, and how
unnecessary to those who were not
quite Gin the odor of sanctity" the
feeling displayed towards the patri-
arch seemed to be. That was one of
the incidents of the assembly of
1880. There was another "incident"
at the opening of the Synod last
night, which will also take it's place
in church history. The intelligent
reader who has kept up in way
with the proceedings Of religious
bodies cannot have forgotten the
very animated, and at times almost
bitter, controversy among the Pres
byterians about the teaching of the
Rev. DR.. Woodrow on the subject of
evolution. Last night DR.. Wood
row was elected moderator of the
Synod. That was happy ending
of the evolution excitement, at least
for the present, and now that all of
the issues upon which nobody pos
sesses any exact information are set
tied or smothered it may be that the
ministers and elders will find time to
devote their undivided efforts to the
real work of their high offices. At
any rate, it is hoped that the meet
ing of the Synod in Charleston will
prove to be the most fruitful and
pleasant of the meetings held in this
State since the body was organized.
We are living in new century
a century of opportunity, and it
ought to be made century of
achievement. To-day tho Synod
will be taken in a body to the expo
sition grounds at the invitation of
the directors for the purpose of see-
ing for themselves the condition of
the work. The religion of industry,
which means the upbuilding of the
South and the country, will be illus
trated by the exposition at Charles
ton, and the careful observer will
find whole volume of sermons in
the wonderful enterprise which has
engaged so much Of the energy of
the people Of this city during the
past year. What comparatively
few men have accomplished at the
exposition grounds in the face of
many difficulties, the religious peo-
pie could accomplish if they would
only 60 at their work in the same
spirit and with the same dotcrmina-
tion. The exposition fabric will
soon fade away when tho lights are
turned out and the gates are finally
closed; but it was built for pur-
pose, a well-considered, definite pur-
pose, and that accomplished the
exposition will give place to other
plans looking to the commercial
prosperity of the State and city.
But the preachers are working for
the unseen and eternal; if they be.
levc in themselves and in what they
teach they might very well take
counsel of what their eyes shall see
at the exposition grounds this after
noon. We could preach a sermon
to the Synod upon the mistakes of
the pulpit, but we shall not; what

The Synod OF South Carolina.

On the local page of the News and
Courier tho following paragraph
occurs:
DR.. James Woodrow, of Columbia,
was elected moderator of the Synod
of the Presbyterian churches in
South Carolina at the opening meet
ing. His election was a noteworthy
event in the history of the associa-
ton, and in accepting the honor DR..
Woodrow said he looked upon it as
vindication of his orthodoxy. At
the time when DR.. Woodrow adj
mitted the possibility of evolution
there was church discussion which
went through all the channels before
reaching the General Assembly, and
these incidents were wildly recalled
when he was chosen to preside over
the deliberations of the Synod.
On the editorial page of the same
paper the editor says:
The South Carolina Synod of the
Presbyterian church convened last
night at the Second church and will
be in session, with various recesses
for refreshments, until probably the
middle of next week. The Synod is
composed of about two hundred min
listers and laynen and represents a
denomination which has accomplished
more, as some persons think, for
civil and religious liberty than any
other religious society in America.
The last meeting Of the Synod in
this city was held in 1859, and we
assure the brethren that they are
very welcome, indeed, to "the inhos-
pitable shores of Charleston" They
will find good many Presbyterians,
of one sort and another, in this COM
munity and large number of other
persons who would make very good
Presbyterians and who afford at
least excellent material for mission
ary effort.
The Presbyterians have a high
regard for themselves, as they ought
to have, and, while they do not
exactly claim Apostolic succession,
some of them would claim on occa-
sion that their line, if anything, runs
back just little farther than the
Apostles and that their church is, in
fact, the only true and Catholic
church. Now and then they have
their differences of opinion upon
questions of errancy and incrrancy
and all of them are not of the same
mind as to the origin Of species, and
they are sometimes disputations al
most to the point of not speaking TO
each other as they pass by, but this
is only bit Of the old Adam that is
left in them despite the wholesome
teachings Of the Catechisms, Shorter
and Larger, and at heart they mean
very well and are deeply in earnest
in their work for the uplifting of
humanity and the redemption of the
world.
The Synod will hold its sessions in
one of The strongest churches in the
South, Of which for many years the
learned DR.. Thomas Smyth was
pastor and IN which his memory
still abidcs, and in whose place the
able DR.. Bracket has minstcrcd

to the present day.

Presbyterian church met in this
same church in 1880, and other great
assemblies have been held in this
sacred place. At the assembly meet

The chair which President McI{in-
ley occupied at the session of the
Cabinet has become the property of
Secretary Cortelyou. 1t has been
the custom for the retiring President
to present to some friend the chair
used by him while presiding over the
meetings of the cabinet. President
Harrison gave his chair to Executive
Clerk Crook, and the latter regards
it as one of his most valued posses
sions. President Cleveland pro-
scntcd his chair to his private secre-
tarv, Daniel S. Lamont. There is a
law which requires that Government
property shall not be given away,
but that it must be formally con.
dcmncd and disposed of at auction.
No one has ever questioned the right
of the President to give away his
chair, however. Secretary Cortel-
you was very anxious to got the
chair which his chief had occupied
for so long, and it was accordingly
officially condemned, put up for sale
and bought in by the secretary.

things that the difference between am
ateur and skilled work consists. When
all the seams are firmly sewed togeth-
er, the edges are to be carefully trim
med off so that both sides are exactly
alike. Then the finishing of the bot
tom begins and is a careful job. A bias
band Of buckram is tackled along the
inner part, and piece of silk or of the
same material as that on the outside is
stitched on together This is turned
up and basted to the inner side, and
the whole is pressed solidly after hav-
ing been moistened with sponge
When the final pressing is done. the
silk may be hemmed down to the lin
ing.
The skirt preferred to wear with this
style of waist is what is generally
in three pieces only-the front breadth
and the two side ones. The front one
is cut on the length of the cloth. and If
1t is possible it is cut SO that the fold
comes in the middle of the front. This
makes a handsome skirt. but unless Of
extra firm stuff is apt to sag at the
center of the two back breadths. To
cut the front take measure of the
length of the dress as it should be and
then from the fold in the middle meas
ure 10 inches on the double at the bot
tom and 5 at the top. This will give
10 inches at top and 20 at the bottom.
The two circular pieces are cut from
the open fold Of the cloth. The outer
line shows how the cloth should be
placed for the skirt to be cut out of it
The dotted line through the center
shows where the fold of the cloth
comes and that the two back seams
come on the bias. The two which are
to be sewed to the bias front breadth
are on the straight cross of the goods.
When the ma terial is no, wide enough
to cut the hack breadths without pec-
ing, 1t is better to cut the goods from
the top down and piece it where the
crosses are marked.

Principles For Public Life.

Senator Hoar once gave five points Of
advice to young men about to enter
public life which are we'll worth re-
membering. They are:
First.-Do not trouble yourself to
court public opinion. People like inde-
pendence.
Second.-In the second place believe
in the strength of righteousness as a
powerful political force.
Third.-Learn to judge of men in
public as in private by their merits and
not by their defects. Eight of the
greatest villains in the world were
presidents, so the critics said.
Fourth.-Never think you can gain
favor of people by departing from the
arena that belongs to you as educated
men.
Fifth.-Set yourselves strenuously
against evil, but do not go out Of your
way to reform. Remember that faith,
hope and charity are the three supreme
virtues Philadelphia Bulletin.

The ORIGIN of naseba1I.

The origin of baseball, "our national
game" is not definitely known, but the
first club organized to play it was in
New York in 1S45. Singularly enough,
this club, like the one first organized to
promote rowing, was called the Knick-
erbocker club. After 1851 other anna
teur baseball clubs began to organize,
including the Atlantic, Mutual. Union,
etc. In 1857 a convention of delegates
from 16 clubs in and around New York
and Brooklyn was held. About ten
years later, at the annual convention of
the National association in 1866 202
clubs from II states and the District of
Columbia were represented. The col
lege baseball associations were started
about 1862 or 1863. Amateur baseball
throughout the Union was at its height
in the years 1865. 1866 and 1867. Pro-
fessional baseball was recognized in
1868. and the first games were played
in 1S69.-Harper's Weekly.

usual lines and baste it and try it on,
and then draw the front into position
according to the diagram and pin it
into the proper shape. The lining
should be wrong side out, to allow the
dressmaker to draw in the seams. The
seam should come just half way the
length of the shoulder and end an inch
and half from the front. The seam,
to keep it smooth, must have line of
the outside it is an addition to have a
row of the same kind of cable cording,
and this makes a handsome trimming
to go all around the whole garment.
Buttons close it. The back is cut in
four pieces and is a shape familiar to
us all, for it never goes altogether out
of fashion. but the fronts are new. The
seams are sewed very neatly and press
ed fiat, and the short position is fin
ished in the most mannish fashion pos
sible. The featherbone cording should
not be put on the ends of the position.
All the inside seams are bound with
narrow lustring ribbon in the approved
essary. The collar can be whatever
kind the wearer desires, but the best
taste would suggest that it should be
of the material and trimmed like the
rest of the basque.
The two centerpieces in the back are
cut with a jog one inch deep, and
this is sewed along with the other
piece, which forms the back side piece.
When done, these are folded over and
pressed firmly and finished off with
buttons. The position can be made
larger If so desired. The sleeves to
basques should be in tailor shape, mas
much as nearly all hasques are to be
worn with tailor made skirts. Those
In the model are not trimmed other
wise than by having faring cuffs, and
they are stitched in several rows, both
at the joining and at the bottom. All
tailor sleeves are slightly fulled at the
shoulders. In sewing them in great
care must be taken to get the top
shoulder seam so that 1t comes directly
in the middle of slope in the back at
the shoulder, where the cross is. Ev-
cry seam must be firmly basted all
around the edges and then all the diff
ferent parts of the waist basted to-
gether. Basting has great deal to do
with the proper finish of any tailor
made garment. 1t is in just these

AS the basque is to be one of the
great favorites of this season, it will
be well to know how to make the new
style of that garment. The newest of
them has no darts or forms in front
and gains its graceful shape by means
of one seam up the front, reaching to
the shoulder, and in that way conform
ing it to the figure. The way in which
this is done is to cut lining on the
