THE PRFSRYTERIANS.

The Presbyterian Church of the
United States in General Assembly in
Los Angeles, Cal, yesterday finally dis
posed of the question of revision OF
creed which has been before the last
three General Assemblies and which has
agitated Presbyterian circles of the past
fifteen years. The assembly yesterday,
by unanimous vote, adopted tie revision
of the confession of faith, as prepared
by the committee appointed by the
General Assembly in 1901. Beside
clearing the calendar of this important
question, the assembly disposed of the
Tennessee overture" in regard to
separate presbyteries in the same terri
tory" which was commonly known as
the 'colored question" of the Presby-
terrain Church; also the report of the
special committee on divorce and re-
marriage. Several minor reports also
were heard during the day.
The General Assembly of the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church in session
in Nashville, Tenn, was greeted yester-
day morning with a message from the
Northern Presbyterian Assembly, which
read "The General Assembly at Los
Angeles receives with cordial congratula-
tions your message announcing the APP
pointment of committee on Presby-
terrain fraternity and union and has APP
pointed a similar committee for the
same great purpose" A resolution
providing for the appointment of com
mittee on permanent location OF the
General Assembly was tabled, as was
also resolution to repeal Article "a of
the Confession of Faith.
1t was decided by the Southern Pres
byterian General Assembly at Lexing-
ton, Va, yesterday that the next Gen
eral Assembly shall meet next year in
Government Street Church, Mobile, Ala.
Augusta, Ga, was the only other place
considered. A communication was re-
ceiyed from the General Synod of the
Reformed Presbyterian Church, asking
that a committee disappointed by the as
sembly to confer with similar committees
from bodies represented in the Alliance
of Reformed Churches, and consider the
matter of closer cooperation or unity of
organization among Presbyterian church
es in the United States, the conference
to be held June "a 1t was referred to
the foreign correspondence committee for
report to the assembly. The report of
the standing committee on education was
adopted. Rev. DR.. J.W. Lumkin, ofMem-
phis. was reappointed secretary of the
executive committee on education. The
report of the standing committee on
home missions showed that more money
had been contributed, more men at work,
and more churches and schools were es-
tablished during the last year than ID
any other year during the last ten years.
At the night session of the assembly a
popular meeting was held in the interest
Of colored evangelization. The morning
session of the assembly was mainly de-
voted to further discussion Of the subject
of consolidating the offices OF the general
superintendent Of Sunday schools and
young peoples societies. The assembly
finally decided against consolidation.
r. f. Magill, Of Richmond, was elected
secretary and business manager OF the
assembly's publication committee.

STRIKE ENDED.-Principal Pierce
yesterday smashed the Shelton Public
School Pupils Union of Derby, Conn,
which presented petition for shorter
school day. The IS members of the
union, minus the s girls, stationed them
selves in the yard yesterday morning and
refused to enter unless Principal Pierce
would promise to recommend their
petition to the Board of Education. In
stead of doing this, Principal Pierce
came out, and, addressing the strikers,
told them that he would cause the ar
rest for truancy of every boy who did
not enter school straightway and would
thrash every one that entered without
first throwing away his union badge
The effect of this ultimatum was almost
immediate, the boys sullenly divesting
themselves of their badges and marching
into the classroOms. Several of them
were ready to fight it out, but were dis
suaded by their companions. The
officers of the defunct union said
that they would have won but for
deserters and parental interference, and
that Principal Pierces threat was
bluff,

CHURCH UNION--A name for the
new church to be formed by the pro-
posed coalition of the United Brethren
and the Methodist Protestant churches
was unanimously agreed upon at
meeting of the subcommittee of the
''Pittsburg' committee appointed by the
two churches yesterday in Washington.
Besides determining upon name for
the new church, a committee of six was
appointed yesterday to draw up the COM
pact of union in detail and present it in.
writing to the subcommittee previous to
its report to the Pittsburg committee on
July /. The discussion yesterday led to
a compromise on the bishopric question
The new church will have general super
intendents in name with virtually the
power of bishops. The creed, too, was
discussed. The subcommittee left this
problem to the committee of six. It's
agreement that the creed should be re-
cast but contain virtually the same
points as at present will be worked out
by the committee. Very little difference
exists at present in the creeds.

Mercantile Philosophy,

An exchange says, suppose local
merchant makes 81, 500 profit on his
years sales. OF this he will pay out
for home taxes and other necessary
expenses at least half. The same
goods bought of the mail order house
at their price would give them profit
of at least So, 900, and what good would
it do the town or county in which you
live? How much taxes do these houses
pay in your county or state? How
much poultry or vegetables do they
buy from your farm? If these houses
could sell all the goods in your couu-
ty, where would you go when you went
to town? A town is no town without
live and prosperous stores. A county
is passed over by land buyers that
has no good, live towns. Your town
brings you reputation away from
your home. Your merchants make
the reputation Of your town.

Nigh School Defeated.

Monday afternoon the High School
base ball team suffered defeat the Sec
ond time at the mercy of the Seminary
aggregation. The Seminary boys
played winning game throughout the
nine innings with the exception of the
fourth inning when the High School
managed to bring in two scores on &C.
count of wild throws and the score
stood 5 to 3 in favor of the High
School. This was discouraeing for
the Seminary boys but they picked up
their courage and we're determined to
keep the score down, which they easily
did in the remaining part of the game.
A strong wind prevailed throughout
the game which made it hard work for
the fielders to keep an eye on the ball.
Young Carlson, of the High school,
pitched good game, but in the ninth
inning he played out and the Seminary
boys batted the ball at their pleasure.
Glarum was then put in the box to
stem the tide of defeat, but he also
proved an easy mark and when the
game was brought to an end the score
stood 8 to in favor of the Seminary.
The score by innings is as follows:
Seminary, 2 0 O l o 0 l 40
High School. % l 0 4 o 0 0 O 0-5
Umpire, Peter Bonde; batteries,
Saterbak and Grangaard, Arthur
| Carlson and Edwin Carlson.
Owing to the threatening rain the
crowd was not up to expectations.
At this writing no games have been
arranged for, but it il probable that
the two teams will cross bats again in
the near future.

The dining hall had been trans
formed into q very pretty reception
room, and here the guests OF the even

been provided. Light refreshments
we're served from small tables, which
were scattered throughout the room.
Among those in attendance were a

success of the evenings entertainment

School Aid,

High schools all over the state will
receive 81 500 state aid next year.
Rural schools, complying with the
conditions imposed upon rural schools
in order to get state aid, will receive
s125 each, while the graded and semi
graded schools will receive $3.50 to
$500 each. These items are the result
of an active effort on the part of the
friends of education in the state, a
senate bill to this effect having al
ready passed both houses.
Each school is treated alike. re-
gardless OF the number of pupils. A
High school having only so students
enrolled will get as much as tho St.
Paul aud Minneapolis high schools,
with their heavy enrolment. It is
about the only opportunity the coun-
try gets to hold up the state, and tie
members from the country stick to-
gether we'll. The representatives. from
the cities having the High schools
with the largest enrolment would like
to have seen the appropriation dis
tributed pro rata among the students,
giving their schools the lions share,
but the attempt would not work, and
the country towns having high schools
and which help to build up the big
cities, will share equally with them in
this money, if no other.-Redwood

The case of Clough & Kreuger vs.
Aug. Reckman was tried in Judpe
Abrahamson's court last Saturday.
Bitterness & Downs appearing for the
plaintiffs and Olson Il johnson for
the defendant. The plaintiffs sued for
the amount of S31 25 balance due them
for digging we'll on the defendants
farm. The defendant refused pay-
ment on the ground that the we'll did
not give satisfaction and went drv
shortly after it's completion. The
Judge took the case under advisement
for the time allowed him and decided
in favor of the plaintiffs, allowing
them the amount sued for together
with the costs.
A delegation came out from Will

of three games was won by Willmar
by 81 points and on the second series
two sheets had been played and the
third stacted when the alarm of fire
put stop to the game and it was not
finished. The highest score of the
series was made by C. F. Malm, scor-
ing 225, which is the highest that has
been made on the alley. The Will
mar boys played good steady game
all through aud were all old hands at
the game. However, they had no
walk-a-way. by any means and with q
little more practice and confidence the
local team will give them hard rub.
The return game will be played at
Willmar sometime next week.
