CURRENT COMMENT,

The Columbia Is. Co State Dem
says: "Gen. Joe Wheeler got left out
of the reunion parade by some over
sight and the New Orleans people and
papers are busy apologizing. It's a
strange coincidence that the same
thing happened to the gallant general
in Charleston four years ago. The
General is both small and modest and
that is doubtless how it happened
The Charleston Post (Dem.) says:
They are getting pretty close to Mr..
Ferry Heath in the trial of the post
office scandals. 1t might be very e-r-
barrasstng to the Republican national
comMIttee to have its vice chairman.

Heath, so close to the contagion. Mr..
Heath. it will be remembered, is the
man who sent c. F. w. Medley to Cuba
with recommendation to a high of.
ficial, saying that Medley is a man
to whom you will warm up.' The
whole country warmed up to Neeley

ban postal receipts"
The Louisville Courier Journal (Dem. }
says: Postmaster General Payne is
greatly surprised at the large deficit in
his department. and some of his critics
are pretty severe on him for his igno-
rance of affairs in his own office. But.

General performed his duties salts

Postmaster General? Mr.. Payne was
not appointed because of any excep-
tional qualifications for the admins

pointed because he was an expert MA

work for Roosevelts denomination
than for the good OF the Postoffice De-

Truxton BeaIe's Oyster story.

Truxton Beale, whose marriage has
just been reported, is a graduate of
the Pennsylvania Military College, an
institution in the town of Chester. and
In Chester the story is told of Mr.
Beale's great-uncle and the oysters
says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The youth used to narrate this story
with great vivacity. According to it.
his great-uncle was living temporarily
in primitive part of ireland. and
had occasion one day to send a serv-
ing man to the town to fetch a peck
of oysters.
The man had never seen oysters in
his life before. He bought them prop
erly, however, and was on the way
home with the bag on his back when
he met friend.
Hello, Denny" the friend said
what have you got in your bag?"
Sure, a queer thing" Denny an
swered; "a thing never saw before.
It's OYSTERS
"Oysters, eh?" said the friend. well
l hope, Denny, that you bought them
in the right place. 1 hope you bought
them cleaned.
Indeed, and 1 don't know whether
they are cleaned or not, the queer
tnlnSS, Salu Denny. Have a look at
them, and tell me-" And he set the
bag on the road and opened it.
The friend took out a double hand
full OF the oysters.

Mr.. H. P. Patterson of Aurora, Ind,
veteran of the Gettysburg battle, has
provided himself with novel yet APP
propriate monument. During a furious
attack by the Confederate troops upon
an exposed position of the Federals,
Mr.. Patterson sought shelter. behind a
huge boulder, where he remained for
hours while bullets whistled and sang
around him and spattered themselves
on the sides of his impromptu forth
fication. A few weeks ago Mr.. Pat
terson visited the scene of the battle,
and was able to identify the rock
which had afforded him such conven-
lent shelter in the time of peril. He
was so pleased with the reunion with
his old friend that he resolved never to
be separated from it again, so, not
withstanding the rock weighs eight
tons, he bought it and carried it back
to Indiana with him, and when he dies
it will mark his grave.

NEW YORK,s GROWTH.

The celebration of the two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of New York
gave the newspapers of that
city an excuse for indulging
in some speculations regarding
the city's future. There is no doubt
that it has been a remarkable growth.
1t is said to be by far the wealth.
lest city in the world. and is second
only to London in population. although
it does not cover half the area that
that city covers.
In June, 1900, it had a population of
3,437, 3O2,. with an average density of
1914 persons to the acre. 1t is estimat-
ed that it has a population now of
fully $4,000 OF course the density of
the population of its different Dor
oughs varies greatly. In all of them
except Manhattan it is comparatively
little, running from 8 to rs to the acre.
In Manhattan, however, in 1900, it was
1872 to the acre.
The whole city has an area of 209, 21S
acres, and If all the boroughs were as
densely populated as Manhattan it
would have population of about 49,
900. 900.
When will the 27,Oo0.OOo mark be
reached? That, of course, depends upon
the rapidity of the growth of popula-
ton. In the opinion of some of the New
York papers this amount of popula-
ton will be- reached by the close of
this century. They believe the city will
have a population of 100000 by 1920
and 100000 by 1910.
There seems TO be every reason for
thinking that New York will be the
worlds greatest city before many more
decades-greatest not only in popula-
ton, but from about every other point
of view. 1t will not be long before it
will be the worlds financial center.
Within the last few years the govern
ments of Europe, when they have
sought to borrow money, have taken
New York into account.
In many respects New York has the
advantage of London, but the one that
is worthy of the most attention is that
it has country back of it from which
to draw its food supplies. London has
to get her supply of food from this and
other countries. New York3s railroads
reach territory that is capable of sup
plying it with food even if its popuIa-
ton should reach twice 1900, 900.

The General Assembly of the North
ern Presbyterian Church at Los Ange-
les was almost unanimously in favor of
the revision of the Confession of Faith.
Eleven amendments were proposed to
the Presbyteries, and in every instance
the whole number was agreed to, no
Presbytery voting in the negative on
the amendments in whole or in part.
This. according to one of the commits
sioners on revision. disposed of the
matter for many years to come if not
for all time. He went on to explain
that the adoption of the revision does
not mean that the church has changed
it's faith, but merely that some phrases
capable of double meaning have been
dropped and more explicit statements
made in the case of others.
DR.. Henry Van Dyke says three
main points were settled by the revi-
sion, viz: First, the Interpretation of
the doctrine of predestination-and by
this term l do not mean fatalism; sec
ond, the salvation of those who die in
infancy; and. third, good works are al
ways good, no matter who does them.
These three points are the most i'm
portant in the creed revision, and l be-
lieve they have been rightly settled at
last"
The following comparison of the sa-
lient points of difference between the
old creed and the new one will illus
trate the changes that have been made:

1t will be seen that the changes are
not so radical as many persons have
supposed; they represent rather a
gradual evolution of denomina tionaI
tenets than a tearing down and re-
erection of the articles of faith of the
church. At the same time, the changes
are significant in that they represent a
broadened view in the church doctrine
"a view that has been held by Pres

sense of safety and convenience in that

bicycle first sprang into favor pretty
nearly all riders were afflicted with
the same mad desire TO see how fast
they could go, and ''scorching' was

Pennsylvania new libel law doesn't

The news article in yesterdays Morn
ing News announcing the death in New
York of DR.. o. A White the distin-
guished physician and philanthropist,
was read with deep regret in this city
where he had many friends. During the
epidemic of twenty-seven years ago
DR.. White came to Savannah, and was
most active in devoting himself to the
services of the we'll and the i'll; and
finally he himself became a sufferer
from the dread disease. During his
stay in this city he was a guest of
the late DR.. ]. G. Thomas at his resi-
dence, 12+ Abercorn street. Drs.
Thomas, Duncan. Waring, the elder
Charlton, Mcfarland and other physi-
clans who were associated with DIR.
White during those trying months
have gone to their rewards; but their
labors, like those of the noble-hearted
and lamented DR.. White, are still
greatfully remembered by those who
watched and waited in the days of
1876. The services of the physicians
mentioned. and of many others of the
profession, as well as the energetic
and public spirited citizens whose ex-
ertions have resulted in making this
one of the healthiest cities in the
world will ever be associated with the
excellent sanitary conditions in Sa-
vannah and Chatham county.
