artists were not above aiding and
teaching these women, whose influence
was often supreme. at least for a mo-
ment. For the skirt dance a tunic and
skirt of finely pleated material was
worn. The pleats looked like accordion
pleating, as many statuettes and some
frescos at Pompeii show quite plainly.
Except for the very celebrated dane
ers, who won their freedom by their art
or came from loWly but free parents,
the dancers were generally slaves. and
this added to the prejudice of the high
minded nations against them and intlu-
enced the Christians of the first cen
turies after Christ. who forbade dane

The debt referred to is long overdue

in view of the Monroe doctrine that no

The officials at the foreign office as
sured your correspondent today that
the negotiations with Guatemala
about the English debts were taking
the usual course. These officials ex-
pressed the hope that Guatemala
would acquiesce In the demands of
the British minister and that further
steps would be unnecessary. 1t was
said, however, that no one knew what
the upshot of the situation would be.
1t may be expected that some

some it seems strange that such y
request should be made just at TINS
time when the church, under the
leadership of the Nashville commit

wonderfully successful campaign tnaE

a debt had been accommodating upon

100000 During the year ending
March 3lst, the church put foru
united and earnest effort, and raised
$12S,000 more than 1t did the previous
year. making the total gifts OF the
church for this cause about $3.50 eeo.
or an average of $2.10 for each mem
Der of the whole church. This gem
erous contribution wiped out the dent,
paid all the expenses of the work Tor

The comm iSsary steward, without

ceiYed money from Hobbs and Hunt
as commissions" on purchases of
oommissary supplies made by him for
The Louisiana. He told of one in
stance, in which he said Hobbs. on
August 90, 1872, handed him an en-

Davis said his ''commissons'' were

that Hunt had knowledge OF them.

these commissions ON the daily

order that Hobbs and Hunt might get

tracts. when these bills were for

GREAT IDEA HAS
CONTINUED from First Pages

what course the general assembly Will
pursue in the matter cannot be fore
told.
Several amendments to the Book OF
Church Order will also occupy the at
tention of the assembly One of these
has to do with the basis OF repre-
sentation in that body. Now, each
presbytery is entitled to send one
minister and one elder to the as
sembly; but If a presbytery has more
than twenty-four ministers on Its
roll, 1t Is entitled to send two min
listers and two elders. This makes
the number of ministers In the pres
bytery the basis of representation
The amendment proposes to base the
representation in the general assem-
bly, upon the number of members IN
the churches in the presbytery.
Simplify Examinations
Another amendment to the Book of
Church Order, which will be before
the assembly, has reference to the
examination of candidates for the
gospel ministry. AT present the pres
bytery Is required to examine a young
man upon practically all of the sub
jects covered by his college course
and his theological seminary course.
This is very trying on the man and
on the presbytery, as it must ordi-
narily be done in the midst Of a busy
meeting, when there Is little time that
can be given to it,. If the amend
ment Is adopted the presbytery may
accept a bachelor of arts degree from
an approved college instead OF the
usual examination on the subjects in
cluded in the college course 1t may
also accept diploma from an ap-
proved theological seminary in place
of the examination covering that
course. except on the subjects Of
theology and church government.
Asks For Removal.

bly, will probably awaken a good deal
