Rcd Springs. n. c" Sept 13.-The
IL Get ng {. the Synod of North Car
DINA at Red Springs, beginning Tues
day, October the 24th, in many re-
spects will be the most unique in
tho history of that body.
When tho SyuOd met in Durham
last fall. DR.. c. G. Vardell, president
of the Southern Presbyterian college
and Conservatory of Music. was struck
with the happy idea of having this
BODY in council under one roof.
With DR.. Vardell to think is to act
He extended an invitation to the
Synod to be his guest at its next meet
ing. The invitation was accepted and
this body will meet for the first time
q guest Of a college. When it is con-
sidercd that the Synod of North Car
DINA comprises aDout tour hundred
members, it is readily understood why
this feature of the meeting is unique.
When Dr. Fardeil gave the invita-
ton some member said: Your school
will be in session at that time: what
are you going to do with your girls 2"
DR.. Vardell replied that the people of
Red Springs had always been with
him when he needed them, and he
felt that he knew them we'll enough
to say they would look after the
girls-and that is just what they are
going % do.
Among other unique features it
might be well to mention that this is
the first meeting of Synod in Robe
son county since the war.
Governor Glenn will make the ad-
dress Of welcome. and will be one of
tie preachers for the week.
owing to the uneXCelled advantages
offered in having this meeting in a
college, where halls and an immense
aud tOrium are to be had. there will
br some Of the best exhibits ever
made n this State at a meeting of
this body. The Presbyterian Pub
fishing House of Richmond, Va, will
have a very complete exhibit of their
books, periodicals, phamplets. etc,
and Or. a. l.. Phillips will have on
exhibit. somewhat similar to thai
made in Charlotte last spring, showing
the Progress that is being made in
Sunday ach0o, work.
Or. s. II. Chester. Of the Foreign
Mission Committee. and DR.. 5. l..
Morris Of tho Home Mission Com
mittce will also have exhibits show
ing the progress of the work, and the
feds to be occupied. Al Of these OK
libits will be on a large scale and
by having them in the college build
lD-S the UllIllSlcES VIII nave every
opportunity to study them, and in this
way get information and ideas that
will give fresh impetus to the Mast
or'S work.
DR.. Vardcll has spared no pains in
making every detail perfect for the
care, comfort and pleasure Of his
guests. There will be first class
barber shop, hOot-black stands and
reading roOmS--w hcro files of the
leading daily papers may be had-
where YOU can get your own home

New York, Sept. '13.-Buying at

time of year. On the other hand

New York. Sept. 13.-Without i'm

Stocks and Bonds.

New York. Sept 13.-As a ref1ec-
ton of any fixed conviction on the
prospect of values today's stock mar
ket was not of much use. The fluctua-
lions were constant and never far in
one direction. In the stocks, which
moved most notably the action Sug-
gested professional operation for ma
nipulative purposes. Gains which de-
veloped first were not continued, the
stocks affected being left to them
selves in the later dealings, while at
tention was turned to new points. The
of gold yesterday for ship
ment to New York continued it's good
effect on sentiment but tho more ur-
gent demand for stocks which it slim
ulated yesterday was evidently from
uncovered shorts and with the salts
faction of this demand trading today
became languid and Indifferent.
1t was generally expected that the
Bank of England would make furth-
err advance in it's official discount rate
at tomorrows session of the governors
i'm order to interpose a further OBJ
stacle to the loss of gold by London.
Some of yesterdays strong stocks be-
came sharply reactionary. notably
Sloss- Sheffield Steel, the stock divi-
dend distribution coming in for some
criticism. Copper fell easily in Lon
don and was marked down frac-

st. Petersburg, Feb. 27.-The Car

the war in the far East. There is every
indication that the war will be renewed
with great vigor. The Moscow nobility
has sent resolution to the Car declar.

accept peace at the price of heavy
loss of lives and treasure, and the
humiliation of the Gar. The Car has
endorsed the address and has sent the
following reply TO the mobiles 81 heartily

uI.treated and Murdered.

Paterson, N. j., Feb. 27.-Five more
arrests were made today in view of the
death of the girl in south Patterson on
Saturday last and who is believed to have
met her death by foul means. The be-
lief still holds that the unfortunate girl
met death as the result of the admins
tration ofdrugs given after she had been
seriously maltreated.
When found the girl lay in the rail-
way ditch, with very little clothing on
her body, her left wrist broken, and
several bruises on her body. Doctor
Mcbride, who performed the autopsy
on the remains, declares that she was
malIreated before death, and that she
was dead before being placed in the spot
where she was found.

'Third-It would be for the general
good if men at sixty were relieved from

to the sexagenarii themselves"
DIR. Osler was asked if the Senators

Dedication of a Cathedral.

Berlin, Feb. 27.-The new cathedral
which the Kaiser has erected in the GEN.
ter of the city in the open square on
which the palace fronts was this morn
ing consecrated with pomp and ceremony.
The ceremonies were partly religious
and partly military, illustrating his
Majesty's devotion to both. All the
streets leading to the cathedral were held
by force of troops, while during the
long wait, before the arrival of the
Kaiser, and his suite, military bands be-
fore the cathedral played marches. The
Kaiser with the princes aud grand dukes
left the palace escorted by military. As
his Majesty and encourage came out on
the street the troops presented arms,
while the drums were beat, bugles blown
aud salutes fred by the troops. AS his
majesty entered the cathedral the mill
tary band played the Hallelujah Chorus
from Haudels Messiah, which was sung
by a chorus of 200 boys who had taken
their places in the gallery. In addition
to the band, the magnificent new organ,
the finest in Europe, accompanied the
singing. The actual conservation of the
building was conducted by DR.. DrysSn-
der, the court chaplain. There were
over 1000 persons present, including
delegation from the Protestant churches
in America.
