of Lord Charles Beresford from

There are indications, however. that his
neat little plot will he spoiled by Lord
Charles Beresford himself. While he is
on full pay and active service in the
navy he is Of course forbidden by the
kings regulations to discuss naval mat
ters for publication. but March 81 this
gag will be removed and he will be free
to express himself | understand that
he intends to say nothing then, but 10
wait a favorable opportunity and enter
parliament, which he can do soon as
he is relieved of active command. He
proposes to devote himself in the house
of commons to exposing the methods
which have impaired the efficiency of the
navy and TO insisting on drastic re-
form. Arrangements are already in
progress to secure for him the nomna-
ton for one OF the divisions OF Ports
mouth. This is great naval station,
and all the residents connected direct
" or indirectly with the naval service.
Lord Charles is, therefore. assured OF
election.
The following situation will then arise.
Lord Charles. although not in active
command will still be an officer of The
navy and liable to recall at any time 10
e an active command. Technically lie will
be just naval officer temporarily unem-
ployed and drawing half pay. The reSu-

JERSEY CITY. Dec. 10.-After faith
full and energetic service of more than
twenty years, the Rev, DR.. John l..
Scudder has resigned his pastorate of
the First Congregational Church, Civ
ing as a reason the health of both HIM
self and his devoted wife.
His resignation was wholly voluntary
and surprise was occasioned when he
called the congregation together for the
purpose of announcing his intention.
The resignation will take effect July l,
1910. In his letter DR.. Scudder aid
lowing to circumstances beyond our
controlJ we believe the time has come
for the pastor of this church to tender
his resignation. This conclusion has
been painfully reached after months
of mature delioeration and is due to his
impaired hearing. THIS decision is
final and irrevocable."
