A Rare Possession.

Mrs. Victoria Carpenter of this
town, but better known as Moth
er Carpenter" is in possession of a
very handsome knit quilt which
she has just completed, and proud
to tell this story.
Not so long ago a friend gave
her the pattern of square for
quilt the design being a oak leaf.
She was very anxious to start
the quilt, but at her age it
looked quite a proposition, as on
the 24th of May she will be "A
years old.
Never the-less, with her vigor
ana keen eye-sight she undertook
it, which proved a success.
There are one hundred squares
in it. each containing eight leaves
which made it very difficult to
knit, at times carr wing over one
hundred stitches on a needle; it
looked and was very monotonous.
But being one that never gave up
in her tasks of life she finished and
sewed the squares together, then
finishing the edge which was
twelve yards around it, with knit
lace three inches wide.
This certainly is very pretty
and valuable piece of fancy work,
especially at Mothers" age. She
wants to enter this at some fair
next fall, which she feels and we
all hope would bring her a Blue
Ribbon

are faced by more than three diyi-
sions.
German attacks on Fort Douaumont

Assembly Closes
Heresy Debate by
Warning Seminary

Atlantic City, N. ], May 24.-The
general assembly OF the Presbyterian
church in the United States of Amer
ica today adopted without debate a
report from the committee on bills
and overtures warning the New York
and all other presbyteries that the
tenets Of the church must be accepted
by candidates for the ministry before
they should be ordained. This ac-
ton, it is believed, ends further dis
cussion in the present assembly OF
the alleged heresy question in which
the New York Presbytery and Union
Theological seminary are involved.
The committee had before it more
than two dozen overtures from pres
byteries from many parts OF the
country dealing with the heresy con-
troversy. One which attracted the
most attention and to which serious
consideration was given by the COM
mittee, was that from the Cincinnati
presbytery, which proposed that the
New York presbytery be expelled be-
cause it licensed three young men
who are alleged to hold views at var
lance with the doctrines OF the
church.
