OBJECTS TO ORGAN
A CHRISTIAN CHURCH IS RENT IN TWAIN. \
Portion Which Installed Organ is Hal.
 ed to Court to Answer Charges of Leaving Faith.

Nashville. Tenn. Dec. 26.--The little Christian Church of Newborn. Dyer County. is probably the most promi- nent at the present time in the eyes of the Christian Church throughout Ten- nessee as we'll as In other States. Chancellor Cooper. of the sth chan cery district, will hear the cause grow ing out of the installation of an organ and other features of church work when the chancery court convenes at Dyersburg two weeks from now.
 About one year ago minority of the congregation alleging that the defend- ants had departed from the faith of the Christian Church in that they were participating in missionary societies and used an organ to aid in song and worship and they asked an injunction against the defendants, restraining them from using a organ or partici- paung in missionary societies.
 Subsequently the complainants filed an amended and supplementary bill making the Tennessee Christian Mis- sionary Convention a party defendant. With this precedent, if set, the non- progressive Christians all over the State who are said to be a minority of the entire connection, might take steps to apply the decision to every church where organs are used and mis- sionary societies recognized.

COUNCIL IS PROPOSED
PLAN OF UNION FOR ALL PRESBY.
 TERRAIN CHURCHES.
Council to Have Forty-six Members Which Shall Provide . Basis of Corporation by all Presbyterian
 Churches.

New York Dec 26.--oficial announce ment was expected this week &C., cording to The Times of the details of the plans whereby 1t is hoped to bring all the religious bodies of the United States having a Presbyterian form of government into one organization which, while not providing organic union, shall afford a basis for co-op- erative work that has not existed. The plan provides for the organization of a federal council of the recognized churches in the United States of Amer lea holding the Presbyterian system
 The plan of federation, if carried out would bring into one organization the two million or more members of Pres byterians and reformed churches and will be made public this week in order that 1t may be thoroughly discussed and may be acted upon in the synods and assemblies of the various bodies next spring The aim is to secure the
 approval of the various supreme judi
 ciatories to the general plan and to have the committee continued and in-
 structed to prepare a. definite plan of
 adoption year hence.
 It is provided in the plan, continues
 The Times. that the churches joining
 the federation shall preserve the ifi- dividualities of their creeds, forms of government and worship and every right, power and Jurisdiction not speciall conferred on the federal coun- ell. Representation of the various churches in the council shall be regu-
 lated by the number of communicants in the afiliated bodies on the basis of four representatives for each 100000
 oommunicants up to 100000 and four additional representatives for each ad-
 ditional 100000 communicants.
 | (North) with its 1,o90.0ss members, | (North with its 1,0s0.09s members, | would have twenty-four representa- l tives in the council; the Presbyterian Church (South) and the German Re- formed churches would have eight representatives each and of the other
 bodies officially represented at the Pittsburg meeting the Dutch Reform ed Presbyterian general synod, the United Presbyterian, and the Cumber- land Preebyterian would have four rep resentatfves each, making in all a membership of fifty-six in the council
 Other Presbyterian bodies believed likely to join include the Christian Re- former, the associate reformed synod of the South. the Reformed Presbyterian Church synod and the Welsh Calvan- istic which will add four representa- tives to the council.
 It is provided in the plan of federal tion that the council shall have power to deal with the differences which arise among the several churches of the federation in regard to matters with in the Jurisdiction of the council which the constituted agencies of the churches concerned have been unable to settle, and shall therefore be referred by the supreme Judiciatories of the churches of the council.

SORROW AND TRAGEDY
OTHER SIDE or THE YULETIDE
 SEASON.
Stories of Sorrow and of Suffering The Pathos and Tragedy of the Life of the Unfortunate
 Poor.

New York, Dec. 26.--The celebration of Christmas in New York was not without the pathetic features and many sad cases came to the attention of the authorities.
 A neatly dressed young woman of twenty-seven years was found uncon- scious seated on bench in Riverside Drive. An ambulance was summoned but the girl died before reaching hospital. Her features told an eio- Quent story of privations and hardship. The ambulance surgeon was of the opinion that death resulted from long continued exposure without nourish- ment. It is believed that she wandered all Christmas day and night until she sank down to die in plain sight of some of the finest residences in the city.
 Nine-year- old Jeanette Mccoy, whose father was i'll and was unable to work. has been caring for her young broth CTS and sisters, while her mother sup ported the family by washing and scrubbing. Today the little girl. worn out by her efforts. was taken to a hos- pital where 1t was found she was suf- fering from diphtheria, and q few hours later she was dead. The physi- clans said she had literally starved her. self to death In her endeavors to keep the other four children alive.
 wan FdIteEBOn, tHe LOFEHet dCtTc8H, accused of the murder of Frank l.. Young. passed a gloomy Christmas In the Tombs. She had anticipated cele- brating her release from Imprisonment with her family in Washington. Miss Patterson was sent an elaborate din- ner by one of her counsel, but she ate little and wept continuously. She was somewhat composed later in the day by a long letter from her mother.
 Morris Fielding a clerk in a banking house, in a moment of despondency. ended his life at his home by shoot ing.
 Tottering through the snow while suffering from pneumonia, Mrs. Mary Schneider, aged 23. fell swoonlng on a. sidewalk in Forty-fifth Street. Her husband died i've months ago and left her penniless and she has been har- bored by a woman friend. Her bene- factors husband became i'll and be- lieved he was about to be dispossessed. Last night Mrs. Schneider started for a hospital. The physicians at the hos pital to which she was taken said she was suffering from double pneumonia and would die.
 Following a trivial quarrel with his wife, Conrad Fredericks hanged himself in his home in East Fourth Street. The man took offense at a remark of his wife after he had given the presents on a Christmas tree to his three chill dpen.

Year of Prosperity.

Dividend and interest disbursements to be made in January will break all records. according to statistics col lected by the Journal of Commerce, The compilation indicates a total of about s13s.s00.o0 to be paid out by leading railroad and Industrial corpo- rations with local banks. trust com panies, traction companies and the na- tional government. This is nearly $3.- 100000 larger than in January a year ago. when total peayments of similar institutions were about $133, 300, 900. The industrial payments show consid- erable falling off because of reduction and passing of dividends, but this is much more than offset by increased payments on the part of railroads and local traction companies.
