PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
DoINes OF GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Ten MiIlion-Dollar Fund for Disabled
Ministers-WouId Withdraw From
Christian Endeavor Union,


Winona Lake, Ind, May 25.-The
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church yesterday heard, discussed and
approved and recommendations incor.
porated the reports of committees on
foreign missions and Sunday school
work; appointed committee to in
vestigate and report on the feasibility
OF the plan of Justice Harlan of the
United States Supreme Court for the
erection Of a central Presbyterian
cathedral at the national capital, and
endorsed a project which proposes the
collection Of permanent fund of $10,-
100000, the income from which is to
be expended in annuities for aged min
1sters of the Presbyterian church and
their families.
The committee on sustenance was
commanded to undertake the work of
establishing this fund. The committee
now has permanent fund of nearly
$1,650.000 with which to begin oper-
ations. The remainder is to be raised
among congregational contributions,
gifts and an insurance scheme by
which a minister may, by paying about
$24 year for thirty years, draw an
annuity of $500. Before the thirty
years have elapsed it is estimated the
permanent fund will be sufficient to
increase the annuity to $1,000. There
are $40 ministers entitled to share in
this annuity plan
The assembly will undertake to get
control of.its young people by trans
ferring them from the Jurisdiction of
the Christian Endeavor Union to the
direct care of the Presbyterian church.
On the subject of foreign missions,
the report of the board. as read by DR..
G. N. Lacock of Chicago, showed the
expenditures for the work in Africa,
China. Japan, Korea, Mexico, Persia,
the Philippines, Siam, Lagos, South
America and Syria.
The receipts for the year ending in
ments $1,1SS,422. A deficit of $4,000
The report urged special Christmas
Sabbath schools and asked for 81, ,500,-
900 for foreign mission work next year.
A new church in Korea was recon-
mended.
Secretary Halsey of the board, who
spoke on the report, said not half of
the enormity of the atrocities on the
Congo river was known and that day
of reckoning was coming for the king
of Belgium.
The assembly adopted all the recon-
mendations of the foreign missions
board and decided that the fitness of a
candidate for a foreign mission should
be determined by his presbytery.

Encouraging Infant Industries.

The steel product of the United
States in the last year of return
amounted to about forty-two per cent.
of the worlds total output. Among
the families Of workmen in the Carne-
gle steel district, at Homestead and
Munhall, Pennsylvania, in the last
three days the stork has distributed
eighty-six souvenirs of his friendly
visits. Not often to single industry
doas 1t fall to contribute thus notably
md with such wide difference in offer
ings to the material prosperity of the

May Appeal to Congress.

Denver. Colo. May 25.-The Repub-
lican this morning prints the follow
ing special dispatch from Washington:

Colorado, and thereby forces David H.
Moffat to run his Salt Lake railroad
through the canon at point above
the level of che reservoir, there is go.

action will have on the Moffat rail

CROP OUTLOOK GOOD.
Colorado Farmers Will Do Well This
Year.

Denver, May 25.-Crop conditions
are generally favorable on the western
slope, but not so favorable on the east
ern. it is said by the weekly crop bull
letin issued by F. H. Brandenburg, the
section director of the United States
Weather Bureau. The bulletin treats
exhaustively of the crop conditions
taking reports from each county. 1t
says that while heavy rains have done
some damage and that cut worms are
active, the general outlook is good.
Gardens are backward but in good con-
dition.
An extract from the bulletin follows:
'In the western counties the weather
has been generally clear. with tempera
ture about normal, and while some rain
has fallen, the amounts have been be-
low the normal. On the eastern slope
the temperature has averaged about
one degree or two degrees below nor
NAL, with cloudy weather and numer-
Gus showers; the rainfall, however, has
been slightly below the normal, except
in the Arkansas valley and extreme
southeastern counties. The creeks in
the various parts of the state are ris-
ing rapidly, and many bottom lands are
under water. Conditions have been
generally favorable to crops on the
western, but rather unfavorable on the
eastern slope. Heavy rain and hail on
the 18th and 10th damaged grain, gar
dens and fruit in the eastern counties,
the Arkansas valley and along the di-
vide. Vegetation has been almost at
stardstill on the eastern slope, but
the various crops remain in good con-
dition, except that cut worms are injur-
ing beets and alfalfa in Weld county.
Seeding and planting are well adj
vanced, especially on the western
slope east of the mountains work is
being pushed as rapidly as conditions
permit Winter and spring wheat and
rye continue in good condition, also
other small grain; early paintings of
beets and potatoes are coming up, and
beets are being cultivated in the north
central section. Gardens, while back
ward, are coming on nicely. Ranges
are improving. The condition of fruit
is generally good and prospects excel
lent, excepting peaches plum, apple,
apricots and pear trees are in bloom"

KILLED BY EXPLOSION
DENVER MAN BLOWN TO ATOMS
Merritt B. Valley Instantly Killed by
NitrogIycerine or Dynamite on
Capitol Hill in Denver.

Denver, May 25.-By terrible and
mysterious explosion Merritt b. Wal
ley of 1716 Marion street was literally
blown to atoms at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning. The tragedy occurred on the
vacant lot at Colfax avenue and Emer-
son street.
Valleys two children, Edna, aged
thirteen, and Raymond, aged eleven,
both pupils in the Emerson school, on
Ogden street, between Fourteenth and
Colfax avenues, heard the deafening
roar and shuddered. Mrs. Valley was
awaiting the return of her husband at
the home of her sister, Mrs. w. e.

Backensto, 919 East Seventeenth ave-
explosion, as did nearly every one in
the city, and with her sister she rushed
into the front yard and watched the
cloud of dust vanish in the air.
The news that Valley was the vic
tim of the deadly explosive came to the
wife and children with staggering
force. Completely stunned by the sad
affair, Mrs Valley is prostrated at her
home.
Whether the explosion was due to
dynamite or nitroglycerine, whether it
was purely an accident or premedi-
tated suicide, and if the former, how it
occurred, are the questions that are yet
puZzling the police and coroner.
Valley came to Denver from Ward,
Colorado, to join his family last Mon
day. He had been working steadily
for several months in Ward, and had
secured position in this city as engi-
neer at the Tabor block, where he was
to go to work last night. He was i'll
excellent health and of CHEEKY dispo-
sition. He was deeply attached to his
family, and is said to have been in no
financial difficulties. He owns property
at Leadville, which is profitably rented,
and also owns some lots in this city
and has an account at the Columbia
Savings Bank. Accordingly, his
friends say, all possible motives for sui
eide are lacking.
Yesterday morning he started out
from his home, in company with his
wife, for the purpose of looking at a
house at the corner of Twelfth and
Pennsylvania avenues, which they
were contemplating renting. They
walked together as far as the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Backensto, on Seven
teenth avenue, when Mrs. VALLEY COM
planned of being tired.
you go on and look at the house,
l will stay here and visit for while"
said Mrs. Valley.
'All right" replied VALLEY. 81 will
go on and you stay here and rest. l
will stop for you on my way back"
Mrs. Valley went into the Backen-
sto house and sat chatting cheerfully
with her sister. Valley went down to
Emerson street and turned toward Six
teenth avenue. He had no package with
him that might conceal dynamite. In
less than five minutes the explosion
occurred. 1t is thought that on reach
ing the cutoff on Emerson street, near
Colfax avenue, Valley took the path
across the lot. Noticing the can or
odd-looling object, he kicked it. There
was flash, a roar and Valleys re-
mains were blown in all directions.

Advocate Light Branch Roads.

The resolutions adopted by the In
ternationa1 Railway Congress at Wash
ington commend light railways, or
branch roads, to the careful attention
Of public authorities. The report says:
Their construction makes it possi-
BILE to encourage the progress and de-
velopment of districts which have pre-
viously remained in the background,
end it is accordingly not only the in
tent but the duty of the governments
to assist them. 1t is desirable, there
fore, not to adhere to old types and
old methods of construction, operation
and regulation, but to introduce every
facility possible, adaptable to local
needs and available resources.
1T is also desirable that state gov
ernment and local authorities should
accord to light railways, either under
the form of subsidies, relaxation of re-
Quirements or other methods Of assist
ance, the support which they need for
construction and for operation, so that
all parts of the country be adequately
served"
The congress expressed the wish
'that the present tendency OF legisla-
ton to establish more liberal regula-
tions may become more general and
efforts of the management to equip
their light traffic lines with more
economical organization, which prom
Use to give remarkable results. be con-

Colorado Soldiers Monument.

Denver, May 25.-As soon after the
Memorial Day exercises are over as is
possible the commission having in
charge the erection of the monument
10 Colorado veterans who died in the
Civil War will meet and decide upon
the details of the work. This COM
micsion is coriposed of Governor Mo
Donald. Department Commander Geo.
w. Curfman and John d. Howland, the
artist. A few days ago the governor
notified the other members that the
money was available for the monument
and that plans for its erection should
be taken up. Yesterday Commander
Curfman and Mr.. Howland called upon
the governor and it was decided to call
a meeting as soon after Memorial Day
as possible.
Fifteen thousand dollars was appro-
priated by the Legislature for this pur-
pose. The law provides that the COM
mission must first select site on the
capitol grounds for the monument and
then advertise for designs.
When the designs are submitted the
most suitable will be chosen by the
commission and the contract let for the
stone work.
1t is likely that the site selected will
be the one upon which the flagpole in
memory of the Colorado soldiers who
died in the Spanish War now stands.

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties of bakinf
powders on the market, viz:-Q) Min
eral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid ol
Phosphate. and (3) Cream of Tartar
made from grapes. 1t is important
from the standpoint of health, tc
know something about these ingredi
ents, and which kind is used in your
baking powder
~ MineralAcid, or Alum, is made
from a kind Of clay. This is mixed
with diluted oil of vitriol and from
this solution a product is obtained
which is alum. Alum ic cheap; costs
about two cents pound, and baking
powder made with this Mineral-Ac
sells from 10 to 25c. pound.
(2) Bone-Acid. or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to large manufac-
turer of a phosphate powder. The U.
S. Patent Office Report gives a full
and exact description. but the follow
ing extract is enough:
Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil of Wit
riol and with continual stirring and
in the following proportion" etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
Ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 80 cents pound.
(3) Cream of Tartar exists in all
ripe grapes, and flows with the juice
from the press in the manufacture of
wine. After the wine is drawn off the
tartar is scraped from the cask, boil
ed with water, and crystals of Cream
of Tartar, white and very pure, sepa-
rate and are collected. 1t differs in
no respect from the form in which it
originally existed in the grape Cream
of Tartar, then, while the most expen-
sive, is the only ingredient that
should be used in baking powder to
act upon the soda, as its wholesome
ness is beyond question. Cream of
Tartar baking powders sell at about
40 to so cents a pound.
Such are the facts, and every one,
careful of the health of the family,
should remember this rule:-Baking
powders selling from 10 to 25 cents a
pound are made of Mineral-Acids; |;
those selling from 20 to 80 cents of
Bone-Acid: and those from 40 to SO
cents of Cream of Tartar made from
grapes.
