COMET SEEN BY CHlCAcOANS.
First obser,ed From Weather Bureau
Tower and Was Visible Without
the Aid of Glasses.

Chicago, Nov, ga comet was Wis.
ible here in the southern sky lass
evening Its position as viewed from
the Auditorium tower in which the
United States weather bureau Is sit.
uated, was about 10 degrees south,
east from the zenith.
It was difficult to Judge of its length,
for the reason that it was pointed di-
reetly upward and was apparently
going from the earth. but Prof. Cox,
in charge of the bureau, said that in
his judgment it was about two degrees
long.
Il am not an astronomer" said
Prof. Cox, but | feel very positive
that it was a comet 1t was plainly
visible at $50 O'Clock, and we could
see it at 7 O'Clock, when it became in
visible on account of the increasing
haze. All the men in the office here
saw it. 1t could not have been a
meteor, for 1t remained practically in
the same position during the entire
time it was visible, and no meteor
would have done that. Its apparent
Immortality shows, too, that it was
at a treat distance from the earth
There was head, which was plainly
visible to the naked eye, and still
more apparent when viewed through
a glass. There was also Well-de
fined tail"
The comet was seen by many people
on the street as well as by the officials
at the weather bureau.

Under Consideration, by a Com

raneously.

washington, Nov. 29.-The prelim-
mary work Of revising the creed OF
the Presbyterian church, SO as to
make it more popularity understood,
was lnaugurated here yesterday at a
meeting Of d section Of the commit
toe of twenty, appointed at the last
Presbyterian assembly, to accomplish
this result The section that met yes
terday began the preparation OF q
new statement OF the doctrine of the
church. 1t spent several hours in dis
cussion but no action was taken on
any phase of the subject Rev. DR..
Herrick Johnson, of Chicago, presid
ed. and the other members who pa
tieipated were Rev. Drs. Minton, 81
San Francisco, and Sprecher, of Gleye.
land, o., and Justice Harlan, Of the
United States supreme court. A form
Of statement to replace the one now
in use was submitted and other forms
will likely be submitted. The object
is to secure a formal expression OF
doctrine that will be more definite
and convey to the lay mind clearer
understanding of the subject than the
present declaration. No vital changes
We're contemplated in the discussions
but mainly different mode of express
sion was aimed at. 1t was recognized
that the ESQ years that have elapsed
since the adoption OF the present
statement OF doctrine has made some
difference in the conceptions of the
authorities. There was some discus
sion as to the incorporation of a
statement regarding the personality
OF God, but this proposition is still a
tentative one.
Full Committee Meets Wednesday
The section will hold another SEES
sion today and will meet daily unit
Wednesday, when the full committee
will convene with view to taking
final action. Whether the delibera
tons Of the full committee will oc
cupy a week or a number of weeks Is
still eonjectural Two other sections
of the committee will meet contempo
raneousiy with the full body and
frame propositions for action by that
body. One of these will draft new
chapters on the Holy Spirit and on
the Love of God and the other will
mako a slight revision of the confess
sion of faith, with reference to the
elect infant declarations. 1t is felt
that the present statement OH this
point implies that any infant dying
in infan is lost. from the stand.
point OF the religious future state,
and the creed to be adopted will make
it clear that the Presbyterian church
does not hold the belief that those
who die in infancy are "lost." This
change will be effected probably by
a specific declaratory statement
though possibly by amending the pres
ent text.
