OPPOSED TO
 ORGANIC UNION
WORK OF PRESBYTERIAN COMMIT TEE WITHOUT POSITIVE RESULT.
Churches North and South Unable to Agree Except on Possible Lim-

Pittsburg. Pa. Special.
 < The Committee on the union of the seven branches of the Presbyterian Church, adjourned today after sessions running through three days. The re- suit was somewhat disappointing to most members of the Committee. as every time any attempt was made to discuss organic union 1t was ruled out The United Presbyterinas were entire- ly opposed to asy movement in this direction and the Southern Presbyte- rians would not listen to any proposi- tion of this naAgre.
 All that suggests itself to the Com nnittee now is the possibility of feder- ation on a limited scale, but whether this even&can be done will depend on the actio2sbf the church courts at their meeting~ next spring.

COLOR LINE ON STOCK FARM.
Indiana Breeder Will Raise None but
White AnimaIs-Hns other
Unique Ideas.

A stock farm as unusual In makeup as
1t is in methods is Rosemount, one mile
east of Millersville, Ind, says the Indi-
annapolis News. The farm is owned and
operated by Charles ]. Buchanan. Rose
mount farm consists of so acres, and is
a sister farm of Rosedale. Mr.. Blu
chanan became possessed OF Rosemount
three years ago, and Immediately be-
gan a movement to make 1t a foremost
Hoosier stock farm. His first thought
was TO make the place unique, and he
began buying stock that was all white.
To-day Rosemount stock farm is the
home Of white animals, from various
kinds OF fowls to white Percheron
horses and white Angora goats.
Mr.. Buchanan has adopted an original
plan of indicating the birth Of stock
on his farm. He began raising stock in
1900, and all animals that first saw the
light of day in that year received names
beginning with A. The plan applies to
all pe6igreed stock. His Denmark sad
die stallion won the title of Adam that
year. A pair of mares of the list of 1900
were named Amber and Alpha. The
next year the names applied were such
as Bernice, Beaumont, Barry, etc. 1t is
the intention Of Mr.. Buchanan to carry
out the plan through the coming years.
and he finds 1t easy to recall the ages
of his stock by the names given.

TO STOP COAL PICKING.

Tho Rapid Transit Railroad has de-
cided to put q stop to the coal picking
which they have allowed to go on in
T%ottenville for years. 1t is understood
that orders have been'given that any
one caught taking coal hereafter will
be arrested.
This will come rs a hard blow to
the many poor people who have been
able TO scrape together a bucket Of
coal now and then. The reason for
the new order is said to be that some
persons, not content with getting the
coal that falls from the cars and ashes,
have been helping themselves from
the loaded cars.

TREES IN CHINA.
Government Sends Out Minute In
structiOns for Planting OF Tim
Der in the Denuded Sections.

Tree planting in northern China is
being strnuously enjoined by the au-
thorities, not only as a productive in
dustry for the people, but alike as a
means of strengthening the river en-
bankments against foods and of check
ing drought. OF late years. says Golden
Penny, trees have been cut down by
wholesale for agricultural purposes.
while the peasants do not take the
trouble to plant fresh ones, because the
soil Is SO loose that they must dig down
very deep for a satisfactory foothold.
So vast tracts of fertile land are left
barren, while in the northern provinces
especially the influx of sand carried by
high winds from the Mongollan deserts
threatens to fill up the unoccupied
ground.
So in the important province of
Chill, which contains the capital,
Picking, there is a government procla-
nation notifying the Eight directions

quired, the depth they should be plant
