most important matters for consideration
before the forty-fourth annual meeting of
the general assembly of the United Presby-
terian Church of North America, which con-
yenes in Allegheny tomorrow night. will
he the report of the committee on member
ship covenant.
There Is an element in the church op-
posed to the purpose for which the commit
tee was appointed. mOderating somewhat
the terms of reception into the church.
There are many in the church who have
long thought the present requirements for
admission to the church are far too rigid,
and not in harmony with the spirit of mod
ern times. These believe that there are
scores of people outside of the church who
would be inside were it not for the rigid
exactiOns of member rship. They argue that
a change can be effected that will not di
verge from the essential principles of the
church

225 "citizens. property holders, teachers
and patrons Of the public schools of the
southeast section of the city" protesting
agains tthe bill authorizing the construc-
tion of street railroad on North Carolina

The objections set forth are based on the
following grounds: North Carolina ave-
nue. is one of the most beautiful residential
streets and driveways OF East Washington
and street railroad thereon would greatly
injure said avenue for either purpose.
Three important public school buildings
are situated on the squares facing Sth
street southeast. the Eastern High School

and Towers both have entrances for girls
on Sth street. These two buildings have a
daily attendance of about 1000 children.
some 800 of whom are not over eight years
of age There is. also another school build
ing on the same square facing sth street,
whose only entrance is on that street. This
is St. AIMS parochial school, with an at
tendance of about 2So pupils.
The operation of a street railroad on
Sth street, proposed. would be a great
annoyance to the teachers and the pupils.
and also enddnger the lives of more than
l od3 children attending said schools"
Mr. BabcockS committee is respectfully
urged 10 amend the bin by changing the
route to some other street where the same

The zone OF the catastrophe in Marti-

on land about eight square miles of de-
struction. This oval is partly over the sea.
The land part is bounded by lines running
from lie Precheur to the peak of Mont
Pelee, thence curving around to Carbet.
There were three well-marked zones:
First. center Of annihilation, In which
all life. vegetable and animal were utterly
destroyed. The greater northern part of
st. Pierre was in this zone.
Second. a zone of siugting blistoring
flame. which also was fatal to all life. kill
ing all men and animals. burning the leaves
on the trees and scorcrhng. but not utterly
destroying. the trees themselves.
Third. large. outer, ,non-destructive zone
Of ashes wherein some vegetation was in
jured
The focus of annihilation was the new
crater, midway between the sea and the
peak of Mont Pelee, where now exists a
new area of active volcanism. with hum
dreds of fumaroles or miniature volcanoes.
