From the Indianapolis Starr
The new Presbyterian prayer book
is out and Is evidently destined for
vfcissitudinous receptions IN different
sections. AT The far West it's oppro-
briously regarded as an unholy In
fringement upon the spontaneous in
aividual petition which springs so
readily from the eloquent lips OF pas
tors ana elders alike and as desen-
crate barking back TO the forms of the
unspeakable tPapists. In the East
it Is expected TO be received With
thanksgiving, as IN keeping with q,
manifest tendency 70 decorum and for
maHsm. To women generally this
book OF common worship appeals.
from the fact that the word obey
has been omitted from the marriage
service together with all reference
to the worldly goods" with which
bride and groom have been wont each
other to -endow-'' And yet We cannot
counsel prospective Presbyterian
bridegrooms to view the innovation
with any serious r:isgfving as curtail-
ing an immemoria1 right, for hath not

promise Of the so-called sentler sex
TO obey" IS a mere matter of form?

OF the household no prayer book or
altar vow is competent to determine.
and reflection may convince such
males as are contemplating matrimony
that the change Is after all mere
matter Of form. not to be seriously re-
garded. OF more potential disturbance
is the omission of the pledge to en-
dow with all worldly goods. 1t is to
be feared that even in Presbyterian
circles this clause carries with 1t a
consideration which alone makes GER
tain marriage ceremonies. worth while.

bearing European titles who might be

obtain this control. He thus brought
into the open a fight which had been

That President Fish did not place his

promised to fulfill the duties of the
office, if elected, to the best of his
ability.
After a committee, consisting of
Frederick H. Walker, G. A.. Fother-
gill and Edward w. Boyle, had been
appointed to fill any vacancies if they
should occur, the chairman called
for an adjournment.
About 200 spectators were present,
including a number of prominent pol
iticians. A few democrats were seen
looking in the open door, during the
session. Now that the candidates
have been named, a series of mass
meetings will probably be held in the
different wards. Jens K. Jensen, who
is the candidate for mayor on the re-
publican ticket, will arrive home
from Richmond, Va, either today or
tomorrow, as the law requires that
he accept the nomination in person.
