Presbyterians Become Satisfied

Inc election or the DIR. j. Ross Steven
son, pastor of Brown Memorial church,
Baltimore, to be the head of Princeton
| Theological seminary, seems to give
general satisfaction to all elements in
the Presbyterian church. He succeeds
the Rev. DR.. Francis l.. Patton, and was
once on the teaching staff of McCor-
mick seminary, Chicago, and pastor of
the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church,
New York. 1t is understood he will &C.
cept, and enter upon the new duties
with the semtnarys opening in the fall.
Princeton seminary has long stood for
the sound theology that many Presby-
terians think Union seminary does not
stand for, and yet the new president of
1t, the Rev. Dr. Stevenson, is regarded
by the same Presbyterians as sufficient
ly progressive. The Fifth Avenue
church, New York, of which he was
pastor. while conservative in most
cies. and not too old-fashioned in its
theology.
1t is reported that Princeton will
now, under it's new head, take on the
form of a school of religion, after that
recently adopted by Yale Divinity
school. The change is not one involv-
ing creed. but rather one of method
The claim is that 1t is not divinity only
that young men are now taught, but
religion in its largest aspect of service
to education of every description, to
civic welfare, to social life, to labor
problems. Hence the change from a
divinity school to a school of religion.
If Princeton follows Yale, as 1t is re-
ported it will, it will not change its
doctrinal basis, but its method of work.

KNOWN FACTS
ABOUT RHEUMATISM

There are many things that are still
unknown about rheumatism. The
treatment of 1t is still far from salts
factory. Doctors realize this, but no.
body is more fully ware of it than the
sufferers themselves.
A tendency to rheumatism once es-
tablished, the pain often returns with
every change of weather, showing that
the poison is still in the blood awaiting
favorable conditions to become active
and cause trouble.
One fact is known and acknowl-
edged by all medical writer's and that
is the rapid thinning of the blood
when the rheumatic poison invades
it. Building up the blood is the best
remedy for rheumatism, as the en-
riched blood is able to overcome or
throw off the poisons of the disease.
For this reason rheumatic sufferers
should be interested in the success
which DR.. Williams Pink Pills have
had in the treatment Of this painful
disease.
A book, Building Up the Blood"
will be sent free on request by the
DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Schenec-
tady, n. Y. 1t contains directions re-
garding diet, baths and hygiene for
rheumatic patients.

SOLICITOR GRAEFF
RESIGNS At LEBANON
Disagreement of City Officials and
Council Ties Up Municipal
improvements
Special to The Telegraph

Lebanon, Pa, July 5.-Lebanon's
new commission council is in an up
roar and a tie-up of municipal i'm
provements is threatened. At a
stormy meeting of the body on Mon
day night, City Solicitor Walter c.
Graeff rendered hi1 resignation to the
body, but adjournment was taken in
time to prevent action Oh it. High
way Commissioner John Hartlieb re-
signed his position and 1t was accept
ed. This morning Charles II. Smith,
a former superintendent of the Leb-
anon Valley street railway line was
elected in his place. City Engineer
Crowell is reported to have secretly
told councilmen that If Solicitor Graeff
%retires, Crowell will also resign. The
trouble las been brewing for some
time, but the storm broke over an eff
fore of Mr.. Krause to nave a bill
passed laying sidewalks at the prop
erty of A. B. Houck. During a wordy
discussion in which it was urged that
the property owner be given more
time to make the pavement himself,
it develops that Houck is a client OF
City Solicitor Graeff and that the So
hcitor also holds a mortgage on the
property. While Mr.. Graeff's refer
ence to these facts was intended mere
~ to show his knowledge of the facts
in the case, Mr.. Krause made caustic
comment, and his insinuations that
the solicitor might be influenced
thereby, gave rise to personalities and
recriminations on all sides, and DIR.
Graeff hastily wrote his resignation.
Council refuses to go back to the sub
ject of communications to consider
it however, and when Mr.. Krause
made an attempt to answer a bitter
denunciation by Councilman Fisher, a
motion to adjourn prevailed. New
sewer operations were started only on
Monday, are a contract for street paw
ing is about to be placed in operation

of Graeff to retire and a concurrent
resignation by Engineer Crowell,

standstill. Councilmen and officials
charge Councilman Krause with de-
handing unreasonable service and
with being too officious.
