A Box Full Of Money.

James Wilson recently died in
Back Creek Valley, Is miles west of
Martinsburg, on his farm, where he
and his wife had been living for years
alone. 1t was always supposed that
he had accumulated considerable
money because of his avaricious hab-
it's, but the whereabouts Of his money
was not known until few days ago,
when Charles L. Stuckey, the sheriff
of the county, qualified as administra-
tor and took possession of the estate.
Over $4,000 in cash, principally in
gold and silver, was found in an old
wooden chest in the room where Will
son had slept and where he died.
The money was brought to town and
placed in bank. Wilson was too sus-
picious of banks or individuals to put
his money out and preferred keeping
it by him, where he might enjoy hand
ling it at his will.

Tired Feeling

There is an "honest tired feel

cured by natural rest.
But very different is "that tired

That tired feeling takes you to

You have no appetite, have bill

The Report Read.

The order of the day, the reading of the
report OF the special committee on re-
vision, came before the assembly at 10
o'clock. Rev. DR.. Dickey, chairman Of
the committee, read the report, and was
closely followed by all the commissioners,
who held copies.
A minority report, signed by Rev. DR..
McKibben OF Cincinnati and E. W. Hum
phrey of Louisville, was read by Dr. Nc
Kibben. In presenting the report, DR.. Nc
Kibben said he would like to say word
regarding the spirit which prevailed at
the meetings Of the committee. He de-
clared that sensational reports had ap-
peared IN the newspapers which were with
out one iota Of truth. DR.. McKibben said
the meetings Of the commission were con-
Quoted under the most harmonious condi-
tions.
On motion of Dr. James D. Moffatt of
the Was shington, Pa, presbytery, the re-
ports we're received.
S Rev. Dr.. Samuel J. Niccolb of st. Louis
moved that as the first recommendations
in both reports were similar, those recon-
mendations be adopted.
DR.. Dickey claimed that under the rules
Of the assembly he and DR.. McKibben
were entitled to speak on their reports be-
fore any motions were presented.
DR.. Niccolb said he made the motion in
<
he said, was the appointment of a com
mittee whose instructions were to come
later, and he believed that by adopting the
frst recommendation the assembly would
have the whole report in better shape for
consideration.
Rev. DR.. John De Witt Of Princeton
sprang to his feet and addressing DR.. Mic
colb said:
How do you know We want to appoint a
mo u-o0 fO
the matter?'
Dr. Moffatt moved a substitute motion
10 adopt the whole of the majority re-
port. Several amendments were offered,
but there was so much confusion that DR..
Eiccolb withdrew his motion. DR.. Moffatt
then moved to adopt the majority report.
An amendment was offered to substitute
lhe majority report.
To Discuss the Whole Matter.
Before the last motion was put DR..
George D. Baker Of Philadelphia offered
The following:
whereas, The vote of the presbyterIes on
creedal revision indicates an utter lack of
unanimity as to what should be done in the
matter; and whereas, this lack of unanimity
means & protracted period of controversy
and unrest in case the movement for revision
be persisted in; and, whereas, the disturb
ance of the Confession of Faith would be in
the way of union or reunion with other
churches now holding this symbol unim-
paired, which unon is earnestly desired and
prayed for; therefore,
Resolved. That this general assembly
deems It inexpedient to proceed further in
the matter Of revision at this time, and II
hereby dismisses the whole matter.
TIE reading of the resolution brought
forth considerable applause. There were
loud calls for DR.. Dickey to speak on the
resolution. Before he got started on his
subject, however, q point Of order was
raised against discussion Of the resolu-
ton to indefinitely postpone. To expedite
matters, DR.. Baker changed the wording
of his resolution as originally written by
striking out the words indefinitely post
