Union of New York Avenue and As
sembly's Congregation Was Basis
on Which Movement Was
Inaugurated.

Opposition to the union of New York
Avenue and Assembly's Presbyterian
Churches. which was represented at one
time by an uninfluential and small
minority in the latter congregation, has
of late been substantially increased Al
the present time the project is opposed
by a large number of the most promi-
nent members of Assemblys, who de-
clare their former allegiance was secur-
ed by representations which the action
of the presbytery has shown 10 be with
out value
These representations, say the dissat-
iSfied. concern the project for the erec-
ton Of a great Presbyterian church in
Washington. which has been denomi-
mated the Presbyterian cathedral This
was fathered by Justice Harlan. and
aroused much enthusiasm in many Pres
byterian hearts. The union of New York
Avenue and AssembIy's. according TO
the statements made the members OF
both congregations. was bTt the first
step toward the creation Of this great
institution.
Imagined Great Central Shrine.
Unon this showing the members of AS
sembly's gave their consent to the union.
They say they saw in their minds eye
great building in the Capital of the
Nation, which should be the central
shrine of their faith in the United
States. and TO aid in the erection OF
this cathedral they were willing to sink
their own congregational identity.
However. when the presbytery met IN
April and the proposition was submitted.
that body was by no means as enthusi-
astic as had been expected The plan
for the union Of the churches. first sub
mitted for the presbytery's approval. con-
tanned a reference TO the cathedral. but
when It came out Of the committee the
Endorsement of this portion of the
project had been eliminated. The presby-
terry declined TO take any action, at that
time, on this phase Of the subject. and
cOntented itself with indorsing the union
Of New York Avenue and Assembly's.
Assembly's Dissatisfied.
This did not please Assembly's. II
was willing 10 merge itself. temporarily.
with New York Avenue, because of the
larger entity that was to emerge in
the future Much dissatisfaction was
expressed Members Of the congrega-
tion said they never would have voted
for the union had they understood the
union was TO be the end of the whole
matter.
Then came the adjourned meeting Of
the pTssbytery Tuesday. when that body
decIi-ed definitely 10 approve the
cathedral project Assembly's nov wants
TO rescind its bargain. and a barrier
has been placed in the way of uniting

young Lincoln's bodily vigor stood
him in good stead in many ways. In
frontier life strength and athletic skill
served as well for popular amusement
as for prosaic toll, and at times, indeed
they were needed for personal defense.
Every community had its champion
wrestler, man Of considerable local
importance. in whose. success the
neighbors took becoming interest.
There was not far from New Salem a
settlement called Clary's Grove, where
lived a set OF restless. rolilckins young

TO bring about a trial of strength be-

coin, who disapproved Of all this wool
ing and pulling" as he called it, and
had no desire to come to blows with
his neighbors, put off the encounter us
long as possible. At length even his
good temper was powerless to avert it,
and the wrestling match took place.
Jack Armstrong soon found that he
had tackled man as strong and skill
full as himself, and his friends, seeing
him likely to get the worst of it,
swarmed to his assistance, almost sue
ceeding, by tripping and kicking, in
getting Lincoln down. AT the unfair
ness Of this Lincoln became suddenly
and furiously angry, put forth his ell
tire strength, lifted the pride of Clary's
Grove in his arms like child and,
holding him high in the air, almost
choKed the life out of him. 1t seemed
for ii moment as though general fight
must follow; but even while Lincoln's
fierce rage compelled their respect his
quickly returning self control won their
admiration, and the crisis was safely
passed.
Instead of becoming enemies and
leaders in a neighborhood feud as
might have been expected, the two
grew to be warm friends, the affection

Cold Tea For Typhoid Fever.

While carrying out a series of eX-
periments to ascertain whether the
micrococcus melitensis, which is sup
posed to be the cause of Malta fever,
would survive in milk when added to
tea, Major J. G. Mcknight of the
Royal Army Medical Corps recently
made an investigationinto the action of
cold tea upon the bacillus typhosus, the
germ which causes typhoid fever.
The results of his experiments show
ed that in five hours the mlcrococcus
melitensis was completely destroyed,
and in the case of the bacillus typhosus
contact with the cold tea for fonr hours
greatly diminished the number of the
bacilli, and at the expiration of twenty
hours none of the bacilli could be re-
covered from the tea.
He considers the experiment of very
great interest with reference to the
question of the use of cold tea as &
substitute for water in the soldiers can
teens as a safeguard against typhoid
infection.
When it is remembered that the
Chinese, who habitually use cold tea as
beverage in place of water, are almost
immune from this dread disease, which
destroys so many Americans and Euro
peans may not reasonably suppose, in
view of the experiments above mention
ed, that the drinking of tea in place Of
water may have the effect of destroy
ing the germs, thus making them inn
mume to the Observation-Disclosures
Post.

Don't Talk.

The following from the sensible pen
and sensitive soul of Hon. J. NJ. Rich
ardson is characteristic of him, and in
keeping with lifetime work for the
party. II is we'll that every Democrat
who neglected his duty should read it,
as they may better understand the
character of the man they helped to
slaughter:
"The advice, and the entreaty, of
the editor of The Times to all his
friends in the Third congressional dis
trict Isl Don't talk" The success of
the Democratic party is infinitely more
to be desired than that of any man.
Dissensions and knives have never yet
won victories for any cause.
Harmony and peace between Dem
ocrats we must have, despite the self
evident fact that no sheep led to the
slaughter was ever more cruelty and
brutally butchered than was the Dem
ocratic congressional nominee in the
Third Kentucky district by those who
should have been his friends" "
