PROTEST AGAINST UNION.
Cumberland Presbyterian LC
 Council Hold Meeting.

COuncH H1OIu MeetAn8s
 Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 27.-The Cum berland Presbyterian Loyalist Council, which met here today, at it's session tonight adopted resolutions protesting against the proposed union of the Cumberland Presbyterian church with the Presbyterian church in the United States.
 A copy of the resolutions was or dered telegraphed to the committee on fraternity and union which meets in St. Louis tomorrow for the purpose of arranging details for the union of the two churches. including custody of the church property and organization of the church boards.
 The resolutions follow the report of the legal committee of which Judge William L. Welker. of Knoxville, is chairman. This report holds that title to the church property would remain with the .1oyalists" because they hold the original articles of faith. In this connection the Wee Kirkers" decision fin Great Britain is referred to as a very similar case.
 The committee further says that af- ter exhaustive research it was of the positive opinion that the proposed un- ion was illegal and that the Supreme Court of the United States has decided cases involving the same state Of facts, but in less important matters, in such a manner that the pFlnclpIeS ldlu uOWu absolutely preclude the union of these two great Presbyterian bodies.
 The committee also called attention to the fact that the constitution of the Cumberland church makes no provision for the submission of the question of union to the different Presbyteries to be voted upon, and that as the execu- ton was not altered. 1t was ignored and the action cannot therefore stand.
 The council meeting in tne morning was attended by between eighty and 100 persons of whom fifteen were wo- men: the afternoon session was att tended by 157 persons There were hut a handful of local members at the meeting. the gerat majority being non- residerts Each member of the coun- cil is chairman of a primary or a sub committee.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature,
but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetenS the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and inn
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
eminently safe catharJIc.
1t absorbs the injurius gases
which collect in the stomach and
bowels; it disinfects the mouth and
throat from the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the
best charcoal and the most for the
money is in Stuarts Charcoal Lo-
zenges; they are composed of the
finest powdered Willow charcoal, and
other harmless anti-septics in tablet
form or rather in the form of large,
pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal
being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in q much improved condition
of the general health, better COM
pIeion, sweeter breath and purel
blood, and the beauty of it is, that
no possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking OF
the benefits of charcoal, says: Il adj
wise Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to al
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels and to clear the complex
| ion and purify the breath mouth and
throat; l also believe the liver is great
| ly benefited by the daily use of them
they cost but twenty-five cents boz
at drug stores, and although in some
sense a patent preparation, yet l be-
| lieve / get more and better charcoal
| in Stuart's Charcoal Lorenzes than in
any of the ordinary charcoal tablets

PENNSYLVANIA Supreme Court having
decided yesterday to send the case Of

mutation of sentence will be acted
upon by the Board of Pardons.

commute her sentence. Both Grea-

the eyes of the death watch for two
years.

Weaver, a white man employed by the
city as a street sweeper, attempted sui
