Queer Home for Old Man.

SEATTLE, Wash, May 19-Dying
alone in a filthy tWo-room shack with
out medical attendance, or even so
much as a drink of water for fourteen
hours before his life ebbed away. was
the fate that befell William Jack
man at Green Lake. He died in a place
known as the Worlds Rescue Home for
Old Men.
The home is a shack consisting of
two rooms, one at least six feet long
by five feet across and the other four
feet by four feet In the large room is
a contriVance of filth used for a bed:
in the other is a small bench, broken
table and a small box stove. The es-
adjustment is conducted by d man
named Quentin, who says the Lord has
appointed him to take care Of the
aged and helpless.
For some time, the neighbors in the
vicinity of this alleged rescue institu-
ton have been annoyed by the in
ii''''>'' ~ SS0AAISo Iccu anu OllbE sup
plies. The shack is on the west side
of Green lake on Sixty-third street.
The home has from four to five inmates
and the Green lake people say it is only
Ioafing place for men to lazy to
work.
The institution believes in having no
doctors or using no medicine. The
keepers think with the help of the
Lord and of the neighbors they can
| exist. The neighbors are growing tired
| of this way of supporting these decrep-
| it men and the death Of Jackman has
| brought a climax. The board of health
| and the humane society have been no.
| titled and viii investigate.

Presbyterian General Assembly.

BUFFALO,, n. Y, May 19.-The La
fayette avenue Presbyterian church,
spacious though it u.s. was scarcely able
to accommodate the crowds who sought
admittance this morning at the OPEN
ing of the 10th annual session of the
Presbyterian general assembly. The
gathering was called to order at II o.
clock by the retiring moderator, the
Rev. Robert F. Coyle, D. D. of Denver.
Two hours prior to the formal opening
the chapel was thrown open to receive
the credentials of the commissioners
numbering nearly 700, and an equal
number Of alternates, and from that
hour until the assembly convened the
Rev. Dr. William H. Roberts, the
clerk, was kept busy distributing
badges and assigning the delegates to
their places. The galleries of the edi-
the opening hymn was sung, the spec
tatOrs joining with the commissioners
and alternates in the rendition of the
anthem.
The sermon of the retiring moderator
occupied the entire morning session
and at its conclusion the assembly ad-
journed until a late hour in the after

noon to prepare for the election of the
new moderator the most important
practical business of the day.
The session begun today will con-
| tinue for ten days longer. AS consti-
tuting the highest court in the church,
the assembly Will b@ a matter of wide
spread interest; and many matters of
Importance will be brought before it
for discussion and settlement. There
are no heresy trials, and 10 revision
of the confession of faith is expected,
but the many questions of doctrine and
discipline which are constantly coming
up in all sections of the country, and
which have been brought to the as
sembly for adjudication, will inject
plenty of doctrinal discussion into the
sessions.
Foremost among the questions to
receive attention is the proposed con-
sOlidation of the Presbyterian and the
Cumberland Presbyterian churches.
Doctrinal differences have separated
these churches for years past, but of
late they have been drawing closer
together and now there seems to be
little difficulty in the way of bringing
about a consolidation. A joint COM
mttee has arranged a plan of CONSOLE
datiOn, which must now be ratified by
the two denominations. 1t is expect
ed that this will be done, though there
will be opposition to the step, both at
the assembly here, and at the assembly
of the Cumberland Presbyterians,
which meets today at Dallas.
Another question of far-reaching i'm
pOrtance touches the color line in the
Presbyterian church. For some years
past overtures have come to the gem
eraI assembly, asking the privilege of
establishing separate presbyteries for
white and cOlOred ministers in the
same territory. Such a proposition has
always been defeated and it IS ex-
pected the committee in charge of the
question, and which has been deliberat-
ing on it for the past year, will again
report against it.
Another important committee which
is to report at the present session is
that which is known as the $4,000
600 committee on the endowment of
colleges, especially in the west: This
committee will submit plan for rails
ing the needed money and this report
will doubtless provoke much discus
sion.

Doubles Its CAPITAL,

CLEVELAND o., May 19.-At a
special meeting held at the general
offices here today the stockholders of
the Cleveland & Pittsburg Railroad
company took favorable action on the
proposition of the directors to increase
the capital stock from s11,0OO,OOO to
100000
The increase in the capital stock is
made for the purpose of raising funds
to meet the payments for many i'm
provements already made on the line
and to provide funds for completing
the double tracking of the road from
Cleveland to Pittsburg, as has been
planned for years.

FRANCHISE is REPEALED
North Yakima Citizens Disapprove of
the Water Company.

NORTH YAKIMA, May 19.-The
city council has passed an ordinance
repeating the franchise of the North
west Water & Light company, success
sors to the Yakima Water, Light &
Power company. An ordinance was
passed last fall granting a thirtysev
year franchise to the company. The
citizens fought the measure, carried the
issue to the municipal election and won
out. The repeal tonight is due to the
failure of the company to make cheaper
rates as promised by the new owners
last winter. What effect it will have
on the rates it is hard to tell. The
city viii probably build its own light
plant and condemn AND purchase the
old water company.
