IMPROVING A CHURCH CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN TO
 HAVE A NEW ORGAN, It is Said to Be the Gift of MT. Pelzer-No Service in the
 Church Before Sep tember.

Improvements to the Central Presbyte- rian Church. approximating a cost of sev- eral thousands of dollars are in progress and no services will be held there before September 1. The pastor, Rev. Neal L. Anderson has joined his family in North Carolina and will be absent from Mont gomery several weeks.
 The Improvements in the church are due to the insSallation ofa handsome new organ, said to be the gift of MT. Arthur Peizer, a member of the Church. The organ has already reached Montgomery from the factory and is stored in q ware house until workmen have completed the job of preparing place for it.
 The new organ will be placed at the east end of the church where the choir loft is now located. The arrangement of the auditorium will be changed. Instead of the sliding doors which mark the di- vision between the Sunday School room and the main auditorium an arch will mark the division and the present Sum day School room will be used as a part of the auditorium. The pulpit will re- main at a about the same place.
 The new organ which Is still boxed Is said to be very fine and will be great addition to the church. Early in Sep tember the organ will be ready for use and its first use will be marked by re- nital

CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES.
Philippine Commission Insists on
 Policy of Retrenchment.

Philippine Commission Insists on Policy of Retrenchment. Manila, July 2s.-The United States Philippine Commission has been conduct ing a lengthy and detailed examination of the heads of the various departments of the government, forcing on them gen. eral policy of retrenchment.
 The commissioners have investigated the amounts. cut down items, substituted Filipinos in subordinate positions former ly assigned to Americans, and have im- pressed on the chiefs that they must follow the Mckinley policy of the eleva- ton of the Filipinos.
 AS a result of the Commissions action, 1t is estimated that the budget for the half year will be reduced from $5,2O9, ,408 to $4216,1 165 for the insuiar departments and for the city of Manila from $1, ,407,0s4 to $969, ,01o, exclusive of permanent improve ment.
 The Commission has adopted a new ar- engagement for the applications because previous statements contained over esti- mates to the amount of about $1,0 ,000.00 which is being returned to the treasury. and it is expected that the insular ex- penses will show general reduction of 8 to 10 per cent. C
 Lieutenant Rucker of St. Louis has been found guilty of embezzlement and sen- fenced to dismissal.

FREE TRADE FOR AMERICA.
F. o. schuster Says Mckinley Fore
 casted it.

London, July Ex-Governor F. o. Schu- ster, at a meeting of the Union Bank of London, limited, made a lengthy refer ence to the British fiscal controversy, which met with the approval of a large gathering of city men.
 While he welcomed an inquiry into the fiscal policy of the government, the whole tenor of MT. Schuster's remarks was op- posed to tamperfng with free trade. He expressed the belief that the United States was within measurable distance of adopting free trade'' and in support of this said he had private interview with the late President Mckinley two years ago, in which the latter said:
 My tariff bill has done its work. We have been able to build up many great industries in short time. and now grad ually. but inevitably, our tariff must be reduced"
 Mir. Schuster contended that America s industrial position under protection was mot entirely attractive nor are its work ingmen contented."
