OF Diamond Dick literature, Tad

eminent, temperance and marriage
and divorce were the important sub
jects before the general assembly Of
the Presbyterian church in the Unit
ed States of America today.
BY far the most important action OF
the session was the adoption Of a res,
olution which makes it impossible
for any paid agent or member Of the
church boards or permanent officer OF
general assembly, except the moder
ator, to serve on the executive com
mission, the ruling body of the admin.
~istrative affairs of the church.
The creation of the executive com
mission was embodied in the report OF
the committee on administrative agen.
'cies, adopted by the assembly, and is
the direct result of the ever-recurring
cry that Canadian men in the church
were acquiring too much power.
From this time. forth new men will
be in charge Of the government of the
church. The action today means that
all the church boards will report to
the executive commissions Of Is mem

While the speeches made before
the assembly indicated that a half
dozen men were In the so-called
church .sring5" it Is an open secret
that DR.. William Henry Roberts OF
Philadelphia, the retiring moderator,
the one man against whom the
protests we're aimed. Commissioners,
talking about DR.. Roberts. said they
loved him, but that he was so efficient
in the afairs of the church, that his
very ability gave him more power
than n man should have. He has
been in the assembly SO long, they
said, that he had an intimate knowl-
edge OF every detail Of the church
government and especially dominates
the business affairs of the church.
DIR. William McKibban OF Cincinnati,
DIR, 3. T. Lee of Pittsburg and Rev.
Charles Seaman OF Pittsburg made
.forcefu1 addresses in support Of tenn
perance. DR.. McKibbin said that the

a course of study on alcohol
ism, that young people might be
taught just what a menace to health
and morals intoxicating liquors are.
DR.. Lee said there 10 always q lofty
moral sentiment in every community
where the saloon does not exist.
The church reafirmed its position
that divorce should be granted only
upon biblical grounds. The assembly
approved the efforts OF the interna-
conference influencing public
opinion to overcome the evils that
threaten the sanctity Of the marriage
relation, to integrity OF the family and
the welfare Of the state.
The assembly voted to appropriate
$4,000 to continue the work OF the
temperance committee and adopted a
declaring no revenues de-
rived from the liquor business should
be used for popular government and

Boston Mining Stocks.
New York Stock Market.

New York Stock Market.
New York, May 28.-The stock mar
ket had to sustain some rude buffets
in the demoralizing breaks in the
Gould stocks and the power Of re-
sistence to this influence which was
displayed had some effect Of reassur-
ance on speculative sentiment.
It has been observed Of the specu-
lative liquidation in progress this
week that 1t was not urgently pressed
on q falling market, advantage being
taken rather Of strong periods to mar
ket stock. This fact has impressed
the belief in the strong resources OF
the sellers to realize. The apparent
composure with which the decrease in
the Gould group was viewed may be
due to the survival Of q conviction
that good to general consumption may
be evolved out Of the reOrganizatlons
believed to be imminent.
The same spirit manifest to-
wards the news OF q receivership for
Western Maryland in March. That
project represented the eastern pOr-
ton Of the proposed Wabash extern
sion to the Atlantic seaboard, as the
Wabash-Pit tsburg terminal does the
western line. The difficulties Of the
Western Maryland gave rise to ru-
mors that reorganization would be on
terms to secure the Wabash in Its out
let facilities and at the same time do
away with rivalry and threatened by
the form Of the project. 4
The acute conditions developed to-
day for the securities concerned in
that project grow out OF the fact that
interest on the New York mortgage
bonds Of the Pittsburg Terminal conn
pany fall due on Monday next, for
which the provision is considered
doubtful. Nothing said by the Off
cials Of the company calculated to al
lay this doubt, which was most ag-
.gravated by the unsupported condi-
tion Of the securities in the market

pany controls the Wheeling g Lake

Arthur "A. Lotto, a we'll known news.
paper man, who has visited this city
many times in the past ten years
ahead of notable theatrical attrac-
tons, arrived here yesterday or a de
layed train, and is preparing for the
forthcoming appearance of the distin-
guished actor, Wilton Lackaye, who is
to be seen at the Babcock theater on
Friday evening, June 5, in a superb
production Of Hall Gaines powerful
play, "sThe Bondman," which was
dramatized by the author from his IA
nous novel of that name.
In speaking Of the present tour of
Wilton Lackaye, Mr.. Lotto says:
s.I'he Bondman' nas ecnpsed all
expectations, and Manager W. A.
Brady, who directs the tour of Mr..
Lackaye, is now extending the tour
well into the summer months. It was
thought at N time.sAat Mr.. Lackaye
would never get another role. as well
suited to his remarkable abilities as
Svengali in tTrilby,s but as Jason in
The Bondman' he has found a char
acter which again gives him full sway

transferred to the Adelphi theater. In
this country Mr.. Lackaye has played

tinues up to the standard set at the
beginning Of the season.

Of that section Mr.. Lackaye drew ca
pacity houses at each performance.
''The virile story depleted by Hall
Game in The Bondman,' the clever
manner in which he depicts the strug-
gle between pagan vengeance and
Christian forgiveness, makes an ideal
stage story, giving Mr.. Lackaye the
greatest opportunities and allowing
for powerful WORK. Our production
was brought direct from London and
Is complete in every aetsil."

Alaska Coal Mines.
Washington, May 2s.-President
Roosevelt today signed a bill which
In the opinion Of many persons is the
most radical measure Of legislation
enacted during his administration.
It's title Is "to encourage the devel-
opment Of coal deposits in the terri
tory Of Alaska" and It's principal pro-
vision includes an attempt to prevent
monopoly by replacing holdings to
1850 acres Of coal lands and provid-
ing a penalty for forfeiture Of all hold
ings by persons individually or In
combination who get possession of
more than this number of acres. It
also gives the government the first
claim on any coal that may be mined,
thus guaranteeing fuel supply for the
navy.
