BACK FROM IPRESBYTERY.
DR.. Kerr Tells of the Fine Meeting-Dr.
Guthrie and His Church.

Guthrie and His Church.
The Rev. Robert P. Kerr, ID. D., re-
turned last evening from Petersburg.
where he had been in attendance upon
a meeting of East Hanover Presbytery.
In an interview with Times reporter
he said:
1.-The meeting in Petersburg was the
best I have ever attended. The attend
ance was unusually large. both OF dele
gates and of the people of the city. Great
interest was manifested in the proceed
ings of the presbytery, and the reports
from the churches were better than ever
before There has been an increase In
the number of additions to the commu-
Mon. and the gifts of the churches to all
general benevoiences of the denomina-
tioii are in excess of any previous year.
The Petersburg people surpassed them
selves in hospitality, and all Of the dele
gates came away charmed with the Cock
ade City.
II was amused at some statements in
one of the Richmond papers of yester-
day rather uncomplimentary to my very
dear friend, the Rev. Donald Guthrie,
D. D., of Baltimore. I was DR.. Guthrie's
guest at his home last week, when we
skctched out a tour Of Northern Europe.

family in Canada is one of the most
prominent, his father having been for
years Queens counsel in Ontario. and
one of his brothers is now a member of
the Dominion Parliament. Guthrie had
a number Of calls to prominent churches
in Canada before he came to Richmond,
but declined them, preferring a more
Southern climate. In Baltimore he is
recognized as a leader among Presbyte-z
rian ministers, and during the fiscal year
closing April list his church subscribed
to church objects the sum of $4,000.

Gibbs Of Northern Ohio.

f-IHERE are many sickly women be-
Il | tween the ages Of As and SIS, but
y there are very few invalids over IS
or so years Of age. The change of
life coming to a woman near her forty,
fourth year, either makes her an invalid or
gives her new lease on life. Those who
meet this change in ill health seldom live
ten years afterward, while a woman who
lays aside the active duties Of womanhood
in health seldom fails to live on in happi-
ness, years after she has passed 60. During
the change of life, the menstrual function
gradually disappears. This is truly q crit
ical time.
Mrs. Laura S. Webb, Of Toledo, Ohio,
recognizes the change fife as danger
Gus period and she also has faith in Wine
of Cardui. She writes:

THE PRESIDENT TRICKED
SENATORS HAVE KNOCKED OUT
CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
In HIS Anxiety to Have Partisan
Measure Roosevelt VIII Fail TO
Get Anything.

Washington, July 1.-THE president has
been tricked on his Cuban reciprocity plans
and all indications now are that there will
be no legislation on the subject at the
short session OF congress, The president
has not changed his attitude on this sub
iect In the slightest degree, but the sen
ators who were counted upon to support
him In further4ng his policy In this direc-
ton have apparently lost all interest In
the measure and will hesitate to pass a
treaty when the president offers II, II he
does, In December. The first indication
Of THE lukewarmness on the part OF the
administration supporters in the senate was
shown during the closing days of the SEES
sion There was never time that the
Cuban reciprocity bill as 1t passed the
house or the Spooner compromise could
not have been passed by the senate If 1t
had been reported by the committee Oh
relations with Cuba.
Senator Patt OF Connecticut, chairman of
that committee, appreciated this and urged
the republican leaders to allow the bill
to be reported and fight 1t out on the floor
Of the senate. This plan was rejected and
the measure was allowed to go over It is
no longer a secret that the president
listened to administration senator's who
insisted that Cuban reciprocity should be
made a republican measure and should
not be presented until II could
be passed by republican votes. This
plan was finally adopted. 1t was
mado clear, before congress adjourned
and the president was aware of the fact
that the republican leaders were not In
sympathy with the Cuban reciprocity legis-
latlon aud we're advising, for political rea-
sons, that the question be allowed TO go
over until the December session. The
president listened to these arguments and
gave reluctant assent TO the proposition
to defer action. 1t is believed here now
tnat he has lost his opportunity to secure
reciprocity relations with Cuba
Senator Burton of Kansas has strength
ened this opinion by his public speech at
Topeka in which he declared that the beet
sugar senators were encouraged by sup
posed friends of the presidents reciprocity
party to keep up the fight against the bill
In the senate. Senator Burton insists that
there are not fifteen republican members OF
the senate who are IN favor of reciprocity
legislation and he says that he gets his In
formation from the senators themselves.
While senator Burton is not in sympathy
with the president on the Cuban question,
his utterance voices the general opinion
as to the attitude Of the senators on that
subject.
II IS believed now that the trust question
and the tarlf issues win command SO much
attention in the coming campaign that the
presidents Cuban policy will be sidetracked
at the December session. While the re-
publican conventions in the different States
arc indorsing his attitude on Cuban
reciprocity there Is general feeling that
the people are not deeply concerned In
the subject and that there win be no en-
thusiasm

1.-THE principal issues In the campaign
in the far West will relate to trusts and
Imperialism. together with the generally
extravagant expenditure OF government
money by the republicans. Considerable
tariff talk will be made, but this will be
mostly collateral to the trust question, and
will be confined principally to the demo
cratic idea OF abolishlng the tariff rates
upon al trust products.
