THREW OUT GUESTS THINGS.
Tidy Wife Thought They Belonged to
Her Husband.

A night editor in New York was
talking about the late Amos J. Cum
mings.
when Cummings" he said. was
beginning his newspaper life he had
the good fortune to attract the atten
tion of the leading editor of the day.
This editor took him up, pushed him
along and paid him a sood salary.
THE editor was absent.minded and
he never could remember that Cum
mings' first name was Amos. Asa
was the nearest he could come to
Amos, and the wise young Cummings
listened in silence to sentences from
him that began:
ASA, write a gCol story about
--' or Look here. Asa, can you get
Up a story on or Asa | like your
work. / am going to raise your sal
ary.'
One Cay CUMMINGS had occasion to
call at the editors home. He IVES
ushered into the parior, and he laid
his hat, gloves and stick en- the mar
b!e-topped table that stood il the mid
die Of the room
The editor entered. and the two
men began long. interesting and i'm
pOrtant talk.
In the midst Of their discussion the
editors wife swept into the parlor.
This woman was noted for her tidi~
ness. She did not give SO much as
nod or a look to her husband or his
companion, but strobe uD tiercely to
the handicapped table, gathered in
her hands Cummings cane, hat and
gloves and with a snort threw them
out Of the window. Then she stalked
forth again.
Cummings looked at the editor
The editor looked AT him. Then, in
soft. apologize voice, the editor said:
She thought they were mine,

 Winano Lake. Ind, March l7.-The general assembly of the Presbyterian Church which opens here tomorrow will sentatives of the church and it's educa- tional institutions which will speak and act for 100000 communicants. Nearly 1000 visitors have arrived. The num- Der of commissioners in the assembly is 700 including ministers and elders of the church. Two hundred women who are prominent in the various branches of missionary work will be here. There will be twenty-fve or thirty negro delegates. several Indians from the presbyteries of the red men and two Mexican delegates Besides all these there will be members of various boards and committees, and the total number of active workers in the general assembly will be about 900.
 Philadelphia desires the meeting next year ,as does Columbus. Ohio. Two questions which are of particular in- terest to Southern Presbyterians will be the consolidation of the general assem- bIy with the Cumberland branch and that of seperate presbyteries for color ed people. The Presbyterian Church of the North gave. some time ago. an overwhelming vote in favor of joining forces with the Cumberland branch, and the Cumberland people also voted for 1t, but by a small majority. It IS understood the consolidation will take place, but 1t will not be brought about at once. There are many minor ques- tions to be disposed of first.
 The way Is open for separate presby- teries for the negroes and this element. 1t is said, has only to ask for what 1t wants and the general assembly will give its approval Under an old law of the church separate presbyteries for the negroes of the South was not pos rih1a

REMARKABLE CASE.
The Alleged Dual Personality of George
 Wood.


 Somerville. Mass. May 17.-A re- markable psychological problem was presented for the study of the many alienists in the court today when the trial of George Wood for the murder of George Williams. the grocer of Wat chung. Wood. who according to his counsel, is the victim of dual person. ality in one phase of which he is un- der the influence of purely imaginary persons, took the stand in his own de- fense.
 Throughout the long examination of his counsel and rigorous cross exami- nation of the prosecutor, Wood pre- served a perfectly calm demeanor and replied to all questions promptly and straightforwardly and in a fashion logically consistent with his declared belief that he is possessed with fam iliars" whose mandates he is irresisti- ply compelled to obey and that of his actions when under their Influence hH retains no recollection on regaining his normal identity. Wood denied that he had ever known Williams or had ever seen him to his knowledge and answering a direct question, swore positively that he did not kill him.

 MT Buford, who is nearly eighty years old and who has since 1871 kept up his payments upon one of the orig inal old-line policies, complains that in accommodating a large surplus over the legal requirements the Equitable is not carrying out it's contract with him. He asks the court to order the directors of the society to divide the excess of surplus so that he will get an "equit- able" share, to cause the directors to change their policy of accumulating a surplus above what Is actually re- quired by law and remove the present board of directors and put others In their places unless they carry out the order of the court.

Polish Reforms.

St. Petersburg. May 17-There Is little room for skepticism as to the genuineness of the broad policy of imperial reform after the remarka- ble steps sanctioned by Emperor Ni- cholas In the imperial rescript issued yesterday modifying the restrictive decrees in nine of the western gov ernments of Russia and giving the Poles greater freedom for acquiring farming lands and purchasing landed properties and industries premises and giving permission to introduce the Polish and Lithunian languages in the primary and secondary schools where the majority of the inhabitants are non Russian.
 Almost at one sweep the whole bur den of the vexatious restrictive laws in Poland. and the Baltice provinces have been removed and the privileges for which the natives have been fight ing for years are restored, the as- semblies of the Polish nobles are re- established, and all the harsh admins trative measures introduced at the time of the policy of reaction and Rus sification are abolished, unless later for purposes of state after the recom- mendation of the council of state they receive imperial sanction.

Brethren.
 Topeka, Kas. May 17.-The United Brethren general conference this after noon elected a board of five bishops. The old members reelected were: Dr. q. M. Matthews. Chicago: J. s. Mills, AnnyiIle, Pa; The new bishops are: pr. Wm. weakley and Dr. W. M. Bell, Dayton: Dr. T. c. Carter, Chattanooga, Tenn. Dr. Funk, of Dayton, Ohio, was elected church publishing agent.
 Most of the day was spent in dis cussing the plan to increase the num- ber of bishops to five. Many delegates opposed 1t on the ground that the church was already overburdened with assessments and more good will be &C., complished by sending out more work CTS than by electing another bishop.
 The conference members of the South insisted on having another Bishop. The work of the church in the South. they said was in its formative period and another bishop was a necessity. The councils of the South prevailed and Dr.. Carter was chosen.
