Chandler remained chairman OF the
Spanish Treaty Claims Commission.

Il is claimed for some Of Senator Till

signed some Of the commissioners want
the room that the piano occupies. and

DIR. SYLVESTER FORCED TO RE-
SIGN ON ACCOUNT OF FAILING
HEALTH-WIBL GO TO COAST.

Rev. j. Walter sylvester, d. D., who
accepted the passionate of the Central
Union Church last summer, has resign
ed on account of his health which has
been very poor for some time.
DR.. Sylvester was in poor health at
the time he accepted the call but ex-
pected that the climate in this city
would assist him to recovery. Instead
of improving, however, DR.. Sylvester
has continued to slowly grow worse
until he was told by doctors tnat he
would need three years of absolute
rest.
An attack of pleurisy confined him
to the house ten days ago and this I'M
doubtedly FASTENED his resignation.
He will go either to Colorado or Ari-
iona to recuperate.
DR.. Sylvester has made many friends
in the city who will be sorry to see him
leave. He has shown himself while
here to be a very able pastor, his ser
mons attracting large audiences. To
the members of his flock and many
members of other churches he has en-
deared himself, although his stay here
was not of many months duration

The Health Committee reported IN

he be so permitted. The COMMITTEES
stated that it had not much to Offer
additional to Kaleiopu's resolution
adopted some days since, but did con
slider that the refusal Of the Board was
discourteous and unfair and not ac-
tuated in the spirit of liberality which
the House had continually shown the
Board. lnasmuch as the Committee
believed no harm could result from al
lowing Wallach to satisfy the faint
hope that some held in his ability to
cure leprosy, it appeared as tho the
Board was prejudiced and very mar
row in spirit, and afraid to allow any
one the right to attempt which they
could not accomplish.
The report was adopted
