Modification Of the Discipline.

Prominent ministers and laymen of
the NJ. E. Church, in Chicago, have
lately compared notes and in heart
to-heart confessions have admitted a
belief that if they would keep the
young men and women in the fold,
they must do away with restrictions in
card-playing, dancing and attendance
at the theaters. If they are not al
lowed to follow the dictates of their
consciences, they will attend churches
where they will be allowed to do so, or
they will cease to attend any church.
This sentiment embOdies the opinion
Of sixty-five leaders in that denomina-
ton, who discussed the matter thor
oughly at late dinner at the Union
League Club.
1t was held that unless the matter
at issue was met at once in q spirit OF
candor and fairness that will inspire
confidence they, the "pillars of the
church," would soon stand alone, and
when called hence there would be
none to take the burden from their
shoulders. 'rwere better far to keep
the accessions to the church in touch
with the good influences of the sane.
tuary than to allow them to drift away
by too close surveillance of individ-
ual impulse. 1t was recommended
that a united effort be made to send a
representative to the next General
Conference which will remove some
restrictions and modify others which
have been stumbling blocks to human
nature for many generations and now
seem to have become an insuperable
barrier to higher achievement.

One would think from reading Oly's
local columns that the national seat
OF government had been removed to
Puget Sound and that Olympia was
indeed the capital of capitals. Read
the following:
Secretary Cortelyou and Mr.. Loeb
have leased offices in the Oyster Bay
bank building, conditionally. for the
summer, and there the official business
of the nation will be transacted during
the Presidents stay.
Mrs. Roosevelt and the children are
expected about June 18th, and the
President is to follow as soon after as
public business will permit. The Roose-
velts will not entertain very lavishly
this summer, as Mrs. Roosevelt's health
will not permit.

The Weyler Of the Philippines.

1t is useless to attempt any apology
for the atrocities committed on the
inhabitants OF the Philippine islands.
If it is in retaliation, the only defense
made, it is a resort of the old law

especially as applied to peoples and
nations whose aggregate wisdom, called
craftsmanship. should he as much in

many are ahead in resources OF the in
dividual, or few.
Gen. Smiths order to slaughter
every male inhabitant of Samar, and
leave the island bowling wilderness,
is worse than the command of Herod
to slaughter the lnnocents of Judea,
for the reason that Smith struck down
the support and protection Of the
household, as we'll as those who had
arrived at an age OF accountability for
deeds done in the body. Gen. Weyler
was held up to public execration for
the reconcentrado cruelties in Cuba,
but there was nothing to compare
with this order for general slaughter
or the wa!er-cure" by which the inn

Gen. Kitchener's treatment of the
Beers and destruction of their homes

tht wholesale murder of men and boys,

is better TO be be free than to remain

There should be no court martial
for such proceeding. Immediate
dishonorable discharge should follow
the issue OF such an inhuman order.

NINE. MODJEsKA has bid final
farewell to the American people in a
profession which she has graced a
quarter century. She is Pole by ma
tivity, made her first success in San
Francisco, in a to her new country
and unfamiliar language. She leaped
at once into prominence and her pres
tige has been a perennial tribute to
her genius. "Camille" was her mas.
terpiece, but in Shakspearean roles
she was rs versatile rs his female parts
are varied. She was as charming q
Rosalind as she was bewitching in
Juliet, or stately in Queen Katherine
in Henry VIII. Probably the striking
hyperbOle of one OF her admirers is the
best tribute to her genius. He said
"She can make tragedy of the
multiplication table and a comedy of
an example in long division"

LITTLE LADYBUG CONES AS A VEL.
COME AID.-The Department Of Agri-
culture at Washington, is making
preparations to fight the San jose
scale throughout the country with
its natural enemy, the ladybug, and
has imported supply OF her ladyship
from her home in China, for that
purpose. Assistant Botanist Marlett
made special trip to the orient to
escort her across the sea. He started
with good supply, but when he ar
rived at the national capital city six
teen had survived the trip, and four.
teen OF those have since died. The
two that remained were tenderly cared
for. and the number has increased to
City. The government is satisfied
that the ladybug is the most effective
means of radiance from scale, and q
general effort will be made for their
introduction all over the country
where the pest prevails, soon as the
supply increases to meet the service
required.

"DEATH TO GERMANS"
Was the Cry at Patriotic Demonstra

Willenstad, Curacao. Dec. 11.-There
was a great patriotic demonstration in
Caracas, at 8 o'clock. Tuesday night
when the news arrived that the British
and German warships had seized the
Venezuelan war vessels at Laguaira.
Violent speeches were delivered at va
riOus points.
The populace marched to the palace

GERMANY is PLEASED
With Minister Bowen's Prompt Action
In Her Behalf.

Berlin. Dec. 1.-THE German for
eign officials are much pleased at Min
lister Bowen's enegretic action at Cara =
cas-, resulting in the release of most OF
the Germans imprisoned there and by
his efforts to obtain the liberation of
the others. Full advices of the subject
have been received from Washington.
The direct dispatches received from
Venezuela say the foreign office here
says that VeneZuelas naval vessels
have not yet been seized. that only her
revenue cutters We're captured, but
that the seizure Of the former is eX-
pected Immediately.
Minister Bowen has suddenly be-
come famous in Germany. The news
papers print his portrait with sketch
es Of his career, applauding his prompt
intervention in favor of the Germans
and British at Caracas.
The foreign office now understands
that the press report that all the per-
soEs arrested were subsequently re-
leased is correct. but the officials here
are entirely ignorant of what has
transpired since Tuesday, being two
days behind the newspapers. If Presi-
dent Castro has replied to the German
and British ultimatums, his reply is
still in course of transmission to Ger
many.

SOUR STOMACH (Acid Dyspepsia
New Recognized as the Cause of Seri-
Gus Diseases.

Acid Dyspepsia. commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, is n form
of indigestion resulting from fermenta-
ton of the food. The stomach being
too weak to promptly digest it, the food
remains Until fermentation begins
filling the stomach with gas. and a
bitter. sour. burning taste in the mouth
is often present This condition soor
becomes chronic and being an every
day occurrence is given but little at
tention. Because Dyspepsia is not i'm
mediately fatal, many people do moth
ing for the trouble.
1t is now well known among able
physicians that the whole constitution
is gradually undermined and weakened
that the nerves and vital organs are
seriously affected by any form of dys-
pepsia This is plain, as every organ,
every nerve in the body is nourished by
the blood and the blood is replenished
from the food digested. If the food is
properly digested the blood is pure. the
nerves steady. but if supplied from a
sour, fermenting, decaying mass the
blood is vitiated, poisoned and the re-
suit is shown in sleeplessness, lack of
energy, poor appetite, nervousness.
Every trifle is magnified and the dys-
pertic sees nothing but the dark side
Of everything.
Within a recent period q remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and it is now becoming rapidly used
and prescribed as a radical cure for
every form of dyspepsia.
1t is not claimed to cure anything
except dyspepsia and stomach weak
ness in its various forms, but for this
1t has been shown to be unequalled.
The eminent specialists, Reed and
OLeary. have recently stated that they
considered Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
an unfailing specific for disorders Of
the digestive organs, and the remark
able cures made in cases of long stand
ing dyspepsia proves that this remedy
has extraordinary merit.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold
by druggists everywhere at so cents per
package, and while it promptly and
effectually restores a vigorous diges-
ton. at the same time is perfectly
harmless and will not injure the most
delicate stomach. but on the contrary
by giving perfect digestion, strengthens
the stomach, improves the appetite and
makes life worth living. 8-10-12

claims which it has not yet been de-
cided to submit to arbitration aggre-
gate 100000, but it is believed these
also will be included before the arbi-

that the arbitration will result in
Venezuela allowing France to collect
the duties at one or two ports until her
claims are paid. which may raise fur
Their issues if all the Venezuelan ports
are occupied forcibly by other powers.
Public and newspaper opinion here
tends to sympathize with Venezuela as
being the victim of the undue severity
on the part of strong powers. The

nothing to say on the Monroe doctrine
n this affair, ii may be time for
Europe To speak in the interest of uni

No Privacy at the White House.

TROOPS GATHER.
Continued from page -

patch has been received at the foreign
Office here from Caracas saying that
the boats of the German warships in
Selling the vessels supposed to belong
to Venezuela also captured French
merchant steamer, the Ossun. These
|advices reached here so late, today,
that the officials were unable to say
what sters would be taken in the mat
ter. but it is believed that unless the
Germans promptly rectify the mistake
and release the Ossun, representations
on the subject will be made to Ger
many. This is also taken to indicate
the delicate state of the situation and
the possibilities of international COM
plications beyond those involving Nene-
Zuela alone.
The Ossun was owned by a French
man, who used her in the coastwlse
trade of South America. About eight
months ago the Ossun was seized by
the forces of President Castro on the
ground that the step was military
necessity. and the Venezuelan flag was
hoisted on board the steamer.
France protested against the seizure
of the Ossun by the NeneZuelans ana
put in a claim for an indemnity. This
is one of the claims which is now to
be submitted to arbitration, Venezuela
cOnceding that the Ossun was French
vessel. -.
1t is thought there that the seizure
of the Ossun by the Germans was due
TO the enforced service of that vessel
under the Venezuelan flag, but the
French nationality of the Ossun is
considered here to be unquestionable.
The advices received in Paris from
Caracas further indicate that some
tension is arising between the British
and German naval commanders over
| the method of enforcing the demands.
The German authorities insist on
decisive action and the adviceS re-
| Ceived here show that they have landed
/ a small German force. besides SeiZing

desires TO proceed slower and more in
| accordance with the usual course of

some of the leading diplomatic repre-
| sentatives at Caracas have reported
| that it is not likely that the British will
participate in the seizure OF the Gus

| officials here consider that the joint
character of the proceedings will be
considerably Interrupted. Leading

committee Sc per day.
Daniels. Va, precipitated lively de-
bate by offering an amendment pro-
hibiting assignment of officers and em-
ployes of the United States or SEN
ators and representatives. on any COM
mission. or having imposed on them
any duties other than those PRESCRIBED
by law. He did not criticise the Pres
ident. he said; on the contrary he
commended him, but he argued that
there is an abundance of intellect.
character. learning and wisdom outside
the government service which could
be drawn upon.
Platt, Conn, expressed the opinion
that it would be unwise to tie the
hands of the President, so that in a
great emergency he could not select
the one man deemed most fitted for
appointment.
Plat, Conn, inquired of Tillman,
who favored the Daniels amendment,
if it was not probable, II the amend
ment was adopted, Judge Gray would
Withdraw from the commission.

is it considered injudicial.
Allison and Hoar appealed to Daniels
to withdraw his amendment, with the
view of offering it at some other time
when it could have more considerate
attention. Finally he yielded. with
drawing the amendment.
The bill was further amended by
changing the name of the commission
