KANSAS CITY, May 2s.-Church
government, temperance, and marriage
and divorce were the important sub
jects before the general assembly of the
Presbyterian church today.
By far the most important action OF
the session was the adoption of a reso-
luton making it impossible for any PAID
agent, or any member of the church
boards, or any permanent officer of the
general assembly, except the moderat-
or, to serve on the executive committee,
the ruling body of the administrative
department of the church.
The creation of the executive commit
tee was embodied in the administrative
body of the assembly, and is the direct
result of the ever-occurring cry that
the 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 committee of fifteen members
when 1t has been selected, and that the
government of the church will devolve
upon men who have not heretofore
served in executive capacities.
While the speeches made before the
assembly indicated that half a dozen
men were In the So-called cnurcn
ring" it is an open secret that DR.

the retiring moderator, was the one
man against whom the protests were
aimed

Roberts said they loved him, but that
he was so efficient in the affairs of the
church that his very ability gave him
more power than one man should have
He has been in the assembly so long
they said, that he had an intimate
knowledge of every detail of the churcf
government, and practically dominated
the business affairs of the church.
The church Eeaffirmed its position
that divorce should be granted only
upon biblical grounds.
The assembly approved the efforts OF
the international conference ip infiu-
encing public opinion to overcome the
evils that threaten the sanctity of the
marriage relation, the integrity of the
family and the welfare of the state.
The assembly voted to appropriate
S35 900 to continue the work of temper
ance committees, and adopted a resolu-
ton declaring no revenue derived from
liquor should be used for popular gov
eminent, and calling on congress to
protect" states that had abolished the

The Man in the House.

The hour was midnight in the home of
the Ramscatters. The family consisted
of Mr.. and Mrs. Ramscatter and their
young son, George, almost at the age of
maturity. All had retired, when sudden
ly a loud yell penetrated the air.
"There's man in the house"
The alarm awakened mother and ia
Their. They jumped up screaming:
Where? Whereof
"Here''
1t was Georges voice. Ramscatter
proceeded cautiously across the hall to
his sons room with a revolver in one
hand. He was followed by his wife.
George, are you injured?" shouted
the father.
''There's a man in the house" came
the reply.
Ramscatter prepared to fire as he
threw open the door.
II don't see any man." he exclaimed
as he flashed on the electric lights.
Hes right here" answered the son.
"Where do you mean, George"
Il mean that it's now five minutes aft

JAPAN GETS A NEW ISLAND.
It Was Previously Unknown and It Bids
Fair to Be Wealth Producing.

The japanese report the discovery of
miles east of Formosa. The discovery
is somewhat surprising at this late date.
The Japanese flag has been raised over
it. and the name Nishigawa has been
given to the island.
A japanese agent, Mr.. Nishihata, is
very enthusiastic over the discovery. He
says it has great natural wealth.
He found in the waters between the
surrounding fiat reef and the shores of
the island several kinds of marketable
shells and mother of pearl in abundance
There are also inexhaustible supplies of
commercial coral; and better still he
found enormous quantities of calcium
phosphate on the reefs, that will afford
the best of artificial fertilizer, and he
thinks the supply is sufficient to keep
miners busy for fifty or sixty years.
AS his vessel approached the island
Mr. Nishihata saw cloud of birds
lowering over it, and he found later that
they were of a species which the Japa-
nese call osadori. These birds abound
there in great numbers and are counted
among the valuable resources of the is
land. as there is good market for their
plumage in Europe, particularly in
France. Trade in these feathers has
already begun. and they are the first of
the islands resources to be shipped to
Europe.
The fora is tropical but the island
seems to be fairly healthful. No reptiles
or Venomous insects can be found, and
the only quadruped that the island
seems to possess is a variety of rat
about the size of a rabbit. This addition
of few score of square miles to the
known land surface of the earth bids
tar to add little to the worlds wealth.

Nothing Would Help Him-Mother
Almost i'm Despair-Owes Quick
Cure to Cuticura.
Several months ago, my little boy
began to break out with itching sores.
I doctored him, but as soon as l got
them healed up in one place they
would break out in another. l was
almost in despair. I could not get any
thing that would help him. Then l
began to use Cuticura Soap and Cuti-
cura Ointment, and after using them
three times the sores commenced to
heal. He is now well, and not scar
is left on his body. They have never
returned nor left him with bad blood
as one would think. Cuticura Remedies
are the best I have ever tried, and
shall highly recommend them to any
one who is suffering likewise. Mrs.

Liuuid Pronunciation.

Two Scotchmen from the uplands of
Lanarkshire, were recently on a visit to
London. On the morning after their ar
rival they discovered that the washstand
in their bedroom was minus soap.
After they rang the bell an attendant
appeared and asked their wishes. The
spokesman, who is habitually fast
speaker, said: Sen up sape, quick"
The attendant gazed, open-mouthed, at
the two Scots then slowly said: "Not
French, not German, nor yet Spanish.
What can it meanW
Becoming annoyed at the delay, the
Scotsman said: Man, can ye no under
stan plain Scotch?"
Grasping at the last straw like a
drowning man at a straw the attendant
fed and promptly appeared with-a bot
tie and two glasses Public
