New Presbyterian Prayer hook.


When a woman In seen on her way
tc or from church on Sunday bearing
prayer hook it is no longer safe to in
fer that she attends Catholic or an
byterian, carrying the new Book Of
Common Worship, which has just
been published with the authority of
the Presbyterian General Assembly.
For t,.ree years a special committee
on forms and services of the General
Assembly, headed by Rev. DIR, Henry
Van Dyke, has been working on this
new player book. The first copies Of
the completed book were received from
the Presbyterian Official Beard Of
Publication on Saturday.
The approval Of the General Assem-
bly, TO the innovation Of prayer book
for use in Presbyterian churches was
not obtained without struggle nor
will ii be possible to introduce the
books into individual churches with
out some opposition. Macy loyal Pres
byterians, especially these Of Scotch
descent, look upon the Innovation in
the church as savoring of Romanism
or Epiicepalism. The best that could
be done in the General Assembly was
to secure its permissive approval, and
the title page Of the book bears the an
nouncement "For voluntary use in the
church es.
New that the Presbyterian prayer
book 10 published, however, all that re-
mains fer those who oppose it Is to re-
frain from its u-e, and 1t Ia predicted
by Presbyterian leaders that many
churches will so refrain. In the east,
however, and I'm the large cities Of the
country the new book is expected to
be largely used.

such an act is Uncomfortable and GER

Do you know that your money wi II
only buy about two-thirds as niue b
now as it would before the present tar
if bill was passed? Yet that is the les
son shown by Dun's Index humble rs
of commodity prices for May LIST, be-
ing Sl06,059, whereas on July l, 1897 it
was So, 455, so sos now only buys
what S72 bought nine years ago. These
nigh prices are very largely caused by
the Republican policy of protection
which while it apparently pro-
duces prosperity, really tugs at your
pocket book whether you are farmer
professional man, store keeper, an
artisan, or laborer. The only man
who does not suffer by these high
trust prices is the comparatively few
who extert these high prices under the
protection of this Republican law.

THEIR ENTERTAINMENT OF THE
GRAND LODGE X. OF P. WAS
FLAWLEss-BEsT OF
MANY YEARS

The entertainment of the Grand
Lodge K. OF P. by Fairmont cost the
lodges and the city pretty sum, but
it was well spent. The impression OF
the city left with the visitors was OF
the best, says the Warrington Enter
prise
For eight or ten years back there
has been no time when the Knights
were as well taken care of. There
was nothing left to be desired, and
the warmth of the greeting Offset the
cold of the unpleasant weather. From
the reception at the trains, through
the bureau of information, where we
registered and got Il nice souvenir
through the housing and feeding at
the hotels, to the escortlng TO and
from receptions and excursions, down
to the social features Of the grand
military ball, there was nothing left
undone.
The souvenir badges and glasses
engraved with the date of the event
were much appreciated.
The reception by the ladies' at the
I. o; 0. F. hall on Wednesday was an
event to be long remembered.
The trips, both by boat and inter-
urban trolley were well patroni2ed
and everybody had a good time re-
CARELESS of the weather
The luncheon at the brewey was
generous and good, MS were the cigars.
Here too. souvenir glasses were pre-.
scnted and the clerks of establish
rents who gave the reception are to
be complmented.
The grand ball was well managed
and the refreshments delicious, This
event afforded an opportunity for the
knights to mcet'the ladies of the city
and they found them as pretty as they
were charming.
The enthusiasm of the occasion is
expected TO last until the encamp,
ment at the jamestown exposition

No Trouble
With Leper
NEWSPAPER RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE SENSATIONAL RE-
PORTS.

CLARKsBURG, Oct, IL Parties
coming to the city from Pickens this
week bring the report that he scare
head newspaper report Of the suppos
ed trouble there over the leper is en-
tirely without foundation.
The facts in the case are that tho
man looking after Rashid, the leper
persisted in ringling among the peo
lie of the town. After being inform
ell to avoid this a number of times
and his total disregard to comply with
the wishes of the people one mOn
proceeded to give him pretty thor
ough whipping.
After this the attendant to the len
er kept his place and there was no
more trouble. The people at Pickens
ave making no kick whatever over the
presence of the leper there as long
as he and his attendants keep in their
places.
1t is a fact that Governor Dawson
telegraphed to the sheriff of Randolph
county to know the facts in the case,
The sheriff at Elkins knew nothing
of the trouble at the time and was en-
route to Plckens to investigate the
supposed trouble when he met Clarks-
burg people directly from PIckens,
who informed him that there was no
grounds for the reports whatever.
