OF CONSIDERATION.

Only one business session Of the Presbyterian
General Assembly held yesterday in the

devoted mainly TO a consideration of the needs

the moderator. was absent, Daniel E. Noyes, the
vice-moderator, presiding at the session. After
the usual morning devotional exercises Dr. In
gersoll, of the American Bible Society, made an
address, describing at some length the work Of
his society and extending invitation to the
commissioners of the General Assembly to visit
the Bible House. resolution passed au-
thorizing the appointment of a committee TO
draw up a minute indorsing the work of the
Bible society. The minute will be prepared some
time this week.
The Rev. DR. Thomas Parry, of Pttsburg,
chairman of the standing committee on minis
terial relief, presented report which was lis
tened to by the commissioners with keen inter
est. 1t seconded the report of the special com
mittee on ministerial relief, which strongly
commended an increase of the permanent fund
for the support of aged ministers and widows
Of ministers. There were 906 names the roll
of the board of relief last year. OF the persons
who are mainly supported by the board 367 are
aged or disabled ministers and the rest are wild
ows or orphans of ministers. The average
nuaI sum paid TO a retired minister by the board
is- S2S5 26.
A strong argument for stirring UP the
churches to more liberal contributions to the
fund for ministerial relief was made by the
Rev. Benjamin l. Agnew, of Philadelphia sec
retary OF the board OF relief He said some of
the leading life insurance companies had been
consulted about plans for providing an annuity
of 5000 for every retired minister and an an
nuity of $500 for each minister's widow but
the companies had demanded a premium of
about S2oo0000 for such a scheme. Another
effort Is to be made TO increase the permanent
fund TO about 100000. the interest to go to
pay snnuities to disabled ministers or the
widows and orphans Of ministers. In talking
of the situation, DIR. Agnew said:
when the railroad companies and many Of
the large manufacturing concerns can see their
way clear 10 provide for their superannuated en-
ployes why should not the Church do so? The
young man who enters the ministry is asked to
lay aside all other avocations and ambitions in
life, and live exclusively for the spread of the
Kingdom of God"
DIR. Agnew said IL would be futile for the
fresbyterian Church to hope 10 get for its min
lstry the best material IL il refused TO take care

well attended meeting yesterday forenoon in the
Central Presbyterian Church, at Seventh-ave. and
Fifty-seventh-st. Women the meeting talked
about subjects Of particular interest in connection
with the temperance movement in churches repre-
sented at the General Assembly.
Mrs. John Peacock. president Of the association
called for brief remarks that should tell Of the
progress OF the church temperance movement In
various parts Of the United States and in the new
possessions. According to the remarks made by
the score and more OF speakers, the temperance
movement Is growing, but the great need OF the

DR. MACARTHURS ADVICE ON
CREED REVISION.

About six hundred Of the commissioners to the
Presbyterian General Assembly gathered at 12:4O
p. m yesterday at the American Tract Society
Building, at Nassau and Spruce SITS. and were
received by the Rev. DR.. George L. Shearer.
the secretary. and other officials Of the society
First the delegates ascended TO the roof, from
where they got a bird ds-eye view Of the city. A
luncheon was served in a large assembly room
on the third floor In the offices on the second
floor brief addresses of welcome were made by
DR.. Shearer and by the Rev. DR.. Robert S. Mac
Arthur. pastor Of the Calvary Baptist Church,
who is vice president of the American Tract
Society DR. Macarthur in his address, made
the following reference to the proposed revision
of the Westminster Confession:
Il am very familiar with the history Of the
Christian creeds-the Apostles Greed, the Nicene
Greed and the Athanasian Creed. In my opinion
the Westminster Confession for beauty Of rhet-
oric. clearness OF logic end distinct spirituality,
is the crown and glory Of Cnristendom. II l
were a Presbyterian / would not wish TO change
the old creed. / would leave II unchanged as
monument Of the thought and historic spirit OF
its time. l would then make shorter and
simpler creed. better adapted 10 the spiritual
needs Of the twentieth century. Such creed
Presbyterians Of to-day are as abundantly able
TO formulate were their fathers Ia formulate
creed suitable to the earlier days.
ITO change the old creed would be very much
like taking bar of music from a beautiful
oratorio, thus marring the beauty OF the whole.
To revise it would be like using modern arChi-
lecture to repair some beautiful old structure
from medieval times"
One young member Of the New-York Presby-
terry, who is known 10 be a revisouist. when
he heard this advice, said that such advice from
an outsider" could not but be great help to
the General Assembly.
Daniel r. Noyes. vice-moderator OF the Cen
eral Assembly, made brief speech in response

STRUGGLE IN HILL COUNTY
Contest Between Beall and
WOOten is Red Hot.

That Dudley Wooten and his
henchmen in Hill county will resort
to all sorts of methods to defeat
Jack Beall in the primaries next
Saturday is forecasted in the fol-
lowing special from Hillsboro to
the Houston Daily Chronicle. The
special was dated April Sth and
reads as follows:
1.-THE feature of the contest be-
tween Wooten and Beail for the vote
of Hill county today is the appear
ance of a vast amount of Wooten
money along with the exodus from
Dallas to this section of more politi-
cians. Wooten's campaign is being
managed by ex-senator William j.
Bailey, of Fort Worth, who is his
brother-in-iaw, and who has a repu-
tation for shrewdness in close polit-
ical contests.
1t is charged that hundreds of vot-
ers We're imported into Dallas coun-
ty on the day of the primaries there,
and that similar action is to expect
ed here on Saturday next.
1t is conceded that If the prima-
ries were held here today Beall
would get the county, but there is
no forecasting what the outcome
will be on Saturday under the meth
ods being pursued in this fight.
Over 100 speakers are on the stump,
and at least that many speeches are
being made daily. The belief here,
however, continues that Beall will

attempt of making Spanish

could understand about as much
English as we could Spanish, but in
time we succeeded in obtaining
splendid and satisfactory meal.
Breaking up in small parties we
wandered about the city, through
the parks and into the narrow busf-
ness streets. The streets are only
about twenty feet wide and the side
walks about wide enough to accom-
modate a single individual. The
narrow avenues were scree ned from
the sun by awnings which arched
the thoroughfare and gave it the ap-
pearanee of an arcade. The shop
windows were brilliant and dis
played goods of all descriptions.
Some of the establishments were
quite commodious and filled with ar
value. The buildings were all
unique, reminding one of the condi-
tions which obtain in old Mexico,
and possessing a startling similarity
in outline and architecture. Flat
rooted structures seldom more than
one story high, with a cement or
stuceo front, narrow doors, and
iron-barred windows. Many of the
larger edifices were extremely or
nate, the whole exceedingly pic
turesque and of a style altogether
their own.

ersed number of boulevards, in
