Of his face. - @"#
After a moment he spoke again,
but with evident perturbation:
II have long wished you to take a
"trip to Europe-a tour Of at least a

II understand you, SIR answered

And with this promise Mr. Give

How ChicaSoans Get the News With
out Having to Buy the

A big, fine-looking man sat in the
corner Of South Side car reading his
newspaper. Next to his sat a little
woman in an up-to-date frock. She
had box of candy in one hand and
an open Ibretto in the other. She
tried to get newspaper from q boy
who came through the car, but the
conductor broke up the transaction,
and, Selling the small newspaper deal

fare in pennies and smiled
The big mans newspaper was out
spread before her eyes, and she looked
at the headlines. Then she read half
column about a thrilling rescue Of Il
typewriter girl by gallant fireman.
She glanced sideways at the big man.
Apparently he was taking no notice.
She began on a story of burglars in a
South Side flat, how they bound and
gagged a woman, stole her sealskin

Water Supply for Paris.

M. ~Baudry, a French engineer, pro-
poses to settle the vexed question of a
city water supply for all time, so far
as Paris is concerned, by bringing to
that city the water of Lake Geneva,
which is well known for its purity and
which is in small danger of ever being
contaminated by a future growth Of
population on it's borders or tribu-
taries, while the supply is said to be
inexhaustible. He estimates the cost
of the enterprise at $500, 1000, 900, which
appears to include s25, 900, 900 asked by
the Swiss government for the water
right, Other engineers pronounce the
plan entirely feasible.

Decrease in Hog Raising

Conservative figures Of government
statisticians show that there IS a gen
eral decrease in the number of hogs
now being fattened, as compared with
the records Of recent years. This de-
crease varies considerably in the diff
ferent states, ranging all the way from
1 per cent in some states to 16 and
Is per cent in Missouri, Kentucky, Ne
braska and Kansas. The only question
of doubt is to the amount of the de-
crease, and the approximations given
above are believed to be very close to
actual figures.

but points out that standard form o.

Havana, BY Cable.-At yesterday 5
session of theCuban constitutional con-
vention. Senorors Gualberto Gomez
and Silva, withdrew the minority re-
port of the committee on foreign rela-
tions and substituted for it the old ma
jority report Of the committee, which
was drawn up before the commission
went to Washington and was signe
by Senores Gualberto Gomez, Silva
and Villuendas. but which was never
acted upon by the convention, because
1t was a rejection of the Platt amend
ment, particularly in respect OF the
rieslt OF intervention and the coa;ins
stations. This action of Senor Gcinez
is attributed TO the bitter attack made.
upon him yesterday, by the Radicals
for having accepted portions OF the
Platt amendment The convention ad'
journed without coming to vote.

AN ADVERSE REPORT
The Presbyterians Turn Down The
CateChiSm
COMMITTEE REPORT IS REJECTED
Its Work VIII Be Referred to The
Various Presbyterles For Final Ac.
ton.

Little Rock, Ark, Special-The
Southern Presbyterian Assembly re-
fused to adopt the CatecSS..s-1 on the
nature and government of the Church,
as reported by the committee appoint
ed one year ago. 1t was ordered thai
the catechism be sent down to the
Presbyteries for criticism, with in
structions to return it to the ad in
terim committee by February l. 1902.
The Assembly divided the Synod Of
Mississippi and Louisiana on State
lines. The Synod of Memphis was di-
vided and the Synod OF Tennessee
created. After lengthy debate the AS
sembly directed the executive commit
tee on publications to select field su-
perintendent for Sabbath school work.
The Assembly adopted the recommen-
dation of the committee on Bible cause
that the collection for the Bible Soci-
ETY., in October, or some other more
convenient date, is embraced in the
Assembly's scheme Of beneficence and
should regularly and faithfully be at
tended to. 1t was ordered that the
following amendments to the Book Of
the Church be sept to the Presbyteries
for thsir advice and consent, with the
recommendation that it be adopted
provided further, that in the case OF
a Synod composed Of only three Pres
byteries, any seven ministers repre-
senting any two Presbyterias, togeth-
er with the ruling elders, shall be a
quorum"
The standing committees report on
ministerial relief recommended proVid-
ing fund for relief Of pressing needs
Of disabled ministers and their fami-
lies; that collections be solicited from
the churches during July and that an
earnest effort be made to raise not less
than $4,000, and that all ministers
whose names are on the Presbytery's
rolls, whether laboring at home or in
the foreign field, shall be eligible to
the benefits of the fund and that the
following executive committee OF min
isterial relief be elected: ReYs. Rus
sell Cecil, D. D., chairman; R. P.
Kerr, D. D., Joy Witherspoon, D. D.,
Calvin Stewart, D. D., Geo: R. Cannon
John S. Munce, c. D. Laws, S. II.
Halves, J. n. Cuttingworth and w. K.
Miller, the committee being empow-
cred to elect a secretary who shall
also act as treasurer. In the discussion
on the report the need of change
from the present system was accen-
tuated, the daily allowance to disabled
ministers at present being only n
cents. There was some opposition to
the creation Of new committee for
the relief work on the ground that the
work could be handled by o6er COM
mittees. The question has not yet been
finally disposed of.
At the nights session OF the South
ern Presbyterian Assembly, majority
and minority reports from the special
committee on the "elect infant" clause
were submitted The minority report
was rejected and the majority report
presented by Rev. DR.. Battle, OF Lou'

SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS.
Early Cultivation Progressing Nicely
-General Review.

-Ienefal SeViS".
In general the week just past has
been favorable for farm work, and in
a minor degree for the growth OF
crops. The mean temperature was
nearly normal, with the exceptions Of
the 14th, 18th and goth which were
cloudy and below the normal in tenn
perature. The nights have been rather
cool and this has checked the growth
midday warmth has been sufficient to
prevent positive injury TO crops. Rain
tons on the 1fth. in the west on the
10th, and quite generally over the
state on the 18th to 20th. The storm
of the 18th was very severe over sew
eraI eastern counties. and the damage
to all kinds of crops by high winds
and hail was considerable: the truck
farms in the vicinity OF Newbern es-
pecially suffered immense loss. The
need of rain was beginning 20 be felt
in the extreme southeast portion and
over all Of the western district, and
the general rains the latter part of the
week were very beneficial in those
sections. During the middle Of the
week the normal amount of sunshine
prevailed While crops have remained
green and vigorous and have evidently
improved somewhat, growth has not
been rapid owing to the lack Of slim
ulating high temperature. With the
exception of few days when the
ground was too wet, farm work has
progressed we'll.
Nearly all of the cotton crop has
been seeded: while late, cotton is gen.
orally coming rp well, except in the
western portion, and fairly good stands
have been secured; chopping is pro-
cceding rapidly; the crop needs much
warmer weather for active growth.
Much replantirg has secured a better
stand of corn than previously indicat'
Il. though the stand is very irregular
still in many counties; the cultivation
OF corr the first time is underway;
bottom lands have not all been plant
ed. Some damage to young corn by
crows and bud-worms has been report.
ed. Planting peanuts is not finished,
and at present the stand is irregular.
4 good many tobacco plants have been
set out in the eastern portion where
this work is nearing completion under
favorable conditions; tarnsplanting is
also progressing fairly we'll in central
and northern portions. except that
plants are slow in attaining proper
size. Wheat, oats and rye are flourish
ing. but need more rain in western
districts; wheat and winter oats are in
full bloom; chinch bugs have apparel
on wheat in a few localities. and some
complaints of heading low have been
received. Irish potatoes are doing bet
ter than expected. Transplanting sweet
potato slips has begun. Gardens lock
we'll. but vegetables are late; ship
ments of vegetables and Strawberries
continue to be Heavy. MelCns are do
ing we'll. While apples appear to be
short, the prospects for other fruit IS
still favorable.
