An Elegant Display.

With only two shopping days left
before Christmas the holiday shoppers
are leading a life of strenuous activity,
but we notice that none of them are
too busy to stop for a few moments to
admire the magnificent display of Christ
mas candies, bon bons, etc., at the
Webster Candy Factory.
Everything the Webster Candy Fac
tory has to offer for the holiday trade
in the line of candy has been made in
the factory and only the purest ingre-
dients are used in their composition. Mr..
Mirras devoted several weeks in pre-
pairing his holiday line, and the result
of his work is certainly a credit to the
candymaker's art. A more tempting
array of Christmas candies have never
been offered in Webster, and that the
holiday shoppers appreciate the high
quality of the goods is shown by the
immense business the Webster Candy
factory is doing.

new CREED FOR CHAPLAIN
DISSENTS FROM CHURCH WITH
WHICH HE AFFILIATED.
Problem Presented to War Depart
ment, But Solution Reached and
Commission Retained.

Chaplain j. A. Dallam, 10Th Infantry,
on duty in the Philippines. has emerged
from peculiar difficulties and the retention
Of his commission is assured. Chaplain
Dallam was appointed from the Episcopal
Church in 1904. Some time after he be-
gan the discharge of his duties as regi-
mental chaplain he began to show evil
dence of a change of religious belief. In
his sermons and his personal converse
tons he indicated that he had abandoned
the creed of the church in which he had
been ordained. Officers of the regiments
filed charges against Chaplain Dallam, al
leging that he was disqualified to perform
the duties OF his Office. The question in
volved was one which the military au-
thorities did not desire to consider. but
the case finally came before the War De-
partment.
Passes Through the Office.
There the question has been considered
by the Judge advocate general of the
army, by the general staff, by the chief
Of staff and finally by the Secretary OF
War. Chaplain Dallam submitted state
ment of his religious belief. showing tina,
he had entered what is known In theo.
logical circles as the class of ultra-liber.
ais. Moreover. he refused at first to ally
himself with any church, and the point
was raised that, being without a denomi-
national alliance, he was disqualified as
an army chaplain.
He was Informed that he must be con.
nected with some church, and he accord.
ingly took steps to be ordained as a Uni.
tartan minister. In SO doing he met al
the conditions which could properly be
imposed. inasmuch as in other respect.
he Is hard worker and a conscientious
chaplain.
The disposition of the question was 8
good deal Of a problem, as there was nj
| way by which the chaplain could legally
be separated from the military service
Chaplain Dallam will. therefore, continue
as Unitarian minister instead of ar
Episcopal clergyman IN the discharge O,
his duties as a regimental chaplain
