Will Make No Changes.

The United Presbyterian Church. in General Assembly at Pittsburg, has re- jected proposition to Iiberallze its rules. and while the matter will be again con- sidered next year. 1t Is. said that there Is little Likelihood of a change. The changes were proposed in three things that this body has always stood for, namely. close communion. refusal to ad- init to it's 'nembership members of secret societies and opposition to the singing of hymns. A committee appointed at the last General Assembly recommended change that would admit members of secret societies. and a memorial from Lake Presbytery asked for the same change. and also permission to sing hymns and to practice open communion. Those opposing the changes were very outspoken. saying that they were but attempts to make the church popular. :" Definite action was postponed for year. which Is practically an adverse decision. The United Presbyterian body has about il6.0O members. with 9l1 churches and SIS ministers. It's greatest strength Is found in Western Pennsylvania.

 Selma.s Chief of Police. E. T. Walters. came near losing his life yesterday morn ing. He arose about o'clock and went into his bath room He has an irstanta- neous water heater in the. room and he lighted the gas and got in the tub of water. He felt peculiar sensation after some time. and his hands began to tremble the towel dropped to the noor and he sat down in a chair Conscius- ness soon left him and Mrs. Walters thinking he had remained in the bathroom sufficient time opened the door to tell him that breakfast was ready. As she opened the bath room door she was met by the fumes of gas that had accumulated in the room. She saw Captain Walters sitting in the chair, his head thrown back and his face black and to all ap- pearances dead. Mrs. Walters grasped him under the arms and raised him to ms feet. but the weight of his limp body was too much for her and she fell over with her burden against the bath tub. She fully realiz,d what had occurred, how ever and knew that Captain Walters had to be gotten out of the gas-filled room She managed to get to her feet again and pulled his head out of the bath room door. The alarm was then given and ex- Mayor Meyer and ex-Alderman Allen. who live next door to Captain Walters, rushed over and picking the inanimate form of Chief Walters carried him to his room and did what they could for him until medical assistance could be sum- moned.
 Three doctors responded in short time and they found the Chief more dead than a.iye. His heart had almost ceased to act and powerful stimuiants were gwen him hypodermically and artifcal respi- ration was resorted to. Mir. Walters De- gan to revive slowly and in about three hours time had regained consciousness lie was very sick from nausea all day sum day as a result of the gas he had in- hailed, but is all right this morning ana is able to be up and about the house.
