DOCTORS SHOULD BE MODEL MEN. Their Duty is to be Physically, intellectually and Morally Clean. Chieago, May 27.—“The scientific knowledge and the mission of the doctor of medicine should combine to make him the best exemplar in socie- ty of physical, intellectualand moral cleanliness. Yet, I nee doctors every day who needs bath, whore very clothes should he burned. and, if they were togowith the clothes, the world would not be moved greatly, nor sor- row . Often the breath is foul and offen- sive and evidences are not lacking of the grossest violations of all the laws of sane and healthful living.” Plain and caustic truths like thie \ were plentiful in an address by Presi- dent Andrew Sloan Draper at the , Commencement exerciser at the Col- lege of Phvaicianaand Surgeon of the University of Minnie laat night, Hie subject wae “Tha Perrone! Equation in the Medical profession ” F In view of all things which modern scientific knowledge enables one to know with certainty,” President Draper continued, “there is too mach uncertainty, too much hideous blun- dering in medical practice.

The House of Modern Conveniences, New York Evening Sun. “A few weeks ago,” said a modest: man, “I was invited tothe new home of a friend who is very rich. We had no more than exchanged greetings that he began to show me the won- ders of his house. The architect and the electricians must have sat up nights to think of all the novel conveniences. Thefood came to the dining room on what might be described as silver flatcare, which ran noiselessly over an electric railway from the butler’s pantry. The head of the house could change the temperature of a room by press- ing a button. The electric lights were marvels: Presently we went up stairs in an electric elevator that looked like a room. Tn my friend’sroom he show ed me his system of buttonsfor lights servants’ bells and all that and then he came te what he considered his greatest triumph—something that was his own idea. Heexplained prefatorily, that when he arose in the morning it might be ill to leave his room and take a chance on a lower temperature in going to his bath, so he had arranged alittle railroad that ran from his bathroom to his bedroom. All he had to do was to press a leaver, & panel in the wall would open and in would slide the tub on a nice nickel- plated railroad. His man, of course would have filled the tub with water the proper heat. ‘Just to show you what a great echeme it is,’ said my friend, ‘I'll bring in the tub.’ So he pulled the silver lever, a panel in the mahoga- ny wall slid back and, sure enough, in came the tub And what was more,” asid the modest: man, blushing at the remem- brance. “in came my friend’s wife, who happened to be in the tub.” One Negro Has Been Released.

Reader of the Future Got Woman's $500, Then Went en Tour. Cincinnati, May 28.—Following the instructions of a clairvoyant is said to have cost Miss Alice D. Winchell of Ashtabula $300 and now Miss Winchell has enlisted the aid of the state to secure the person of the soothsayer, whom she alleges be- trayed her trust. : Miss Winchell claims she consulted Myrtle Redfern, the clairvoyant, in April, and among other instructions was told to get three $100 bills, in- close them in an envelope and place them in the bosom of her dress for three days. After Miss Winchell had secured the bills she was called back to the office of the clairvoyant, she says, on the pretext that something had been forgotten. At the office the clair~ voyant took the envelope, M Winchell anya, and performed aeveral, incantations over it and restored it, to ite reating place with the injnne- tion that it mnat not be disturbed for three dara, at the end of which time Miss Winchell eonld open it and the anawer to her petition would be found with the money. At the end of three days when Miss Winchell opened the envelope she alleges the money had disappeared, as Miss Redfern. Miss Redfern has been arrested at Rochester, N. Y., and Governor Nash issued a requisi- tion on the governor of New York for her return to Ohio to be tried on a charge of grand larceny. President Charles Moyer Attacks Joha Mitchell. Denver, Colo., May 18.—The an- nual report of President Charles ‘ot the convention of the West- ern Federation of Miners, in session here, was made publicto. day, Presi- dent Moyer recommends a renewal of the declarations of the convention of last year in favor of Socialism and independent political action. Refer- ring to the settlement of the anthra- cite coal miners’ strike by arbitra- tion, Mr. Moyer said: “Can the leader of this army of men expect to hold this organization intact when he advise them to con- tinue a policy which offers nothing for the future but strife and destitu- tion, and commends the findings of a Board of Arbitration, selected by the representatives of capital, which binds the chains of slavery more securely around his membership and deprives them of even the privilege of appealing to their masters for a period of three years? “John Mitchell need not besurpris- ed should his membership turn their faces to the West, seeking affiliation with organizations which have sent out their message to the world, that, as labor produces all wealth, such wealth belongs .o the producer there- of.” Edison Now With Marconi.

Put nam from the committee of bills and overtures, reported a simple recom- mendation that overtures on ‘‘sepa- rated presbytries for colored minis- ters,” which had come up from Tennessee and other southern states, he referred to a committee of five, this committee to report to the next general assembly. Dr. Roberts moved an amendment to the resolution, giving the colored element in the church representation on this com- mittee and increasing the member- ship to seven. The amendment was accepted and the resolution adopted. James Yerance read the report of the American tract society. The report of the special commit- tee on divorce and remarriage was then taken up. There was no discussion of the re- port, as this had been forestalled by the passage of the resolution en- joining Presbyterian ministers from performing the marriage ceremony in eases of divorced persons at last Monday’s session. The report was unanimously adopted. theless, seeing that the desire has been formally expressed for a disa- vowal by the church of certain infer- ences drawn from the statements in the confession of faith, and also fora declaration of certain aspects of re- vealed truth which appear at the present time to call for more explicit statements, therefore the Presbyter- ian church in the United States of America does authoritatively declare as follows.” Then follows the text of the report. By the adoption of the election overtures, important additions, am- plifications and amendments are made to the articles of the confession of faith. Of these one of the most vital is the erection into the church doctrine of the belief that all who die in infan- cy are saved, which is embodied in the declaratory statement regarding and chapter X. section 3: That concerning those who are saved in Christ, the doetrine of God's eternal decree is held in harmony with the Joctriue of his love to all man kind, His gift of His sun to be the propitiation for the sins of the whole world and His readiness to bestow His saving grace on all who seek it; that concerning those who perish, the doctrine of God's eternal decree is held in harmony with the doctrine that God desires not the death of any sinner, but has provided in Christ a salvation sufficient for all adapted to all and freely offered in the gospel to all; that men are fully responsible for their treatment of God’s gracious offer; that his decree hinders no man from accepting that offer and that no man is condemned except on the ground of his sin. . Also that it is not regarded as teaching that any who die in infancy are lost. We believe that all dying in infancy are included in the election of grace and are regenerated and saved by Christ through the spirit, who works where and how he pleases,” For section 6, chapter xxv, of the Confession of Faith, the following is substituted: : “The Lord Jesus Christ is the only head of the church and the claim of any man to be the vicar of and the head of the church is unscriptural without warrant in fact and is an usurpation dishonoring to the Lord Jesus Christ.” At the conclusion of the reading of the report Dr. Van Dyke spoke briefly upon the changes incorporat ed therein. He said he wished to make it clear to the assembly and especially did he wish to say to the brethren of the press “that this revision does not mean that the Presbyterian churen To Cure a Cold in One Day.

Tragedy Growing Out of Quarrel Be- tween Two Mattoon Families. Mattoon, Ill, May 29.—In the court room of Police Magiterat Scott, Mrs. Jucob Berry was fatally shot by James H. Rawlins The shooting was the result of a feud ex- isting between the Rawlins and Berry families. : Mrs. Berry and Mrs. Rawlins en- gaged in a fight yesterday in the street, and Mrs. Rawlins was badly cut and bruised by a club in the hands of a daughter of Mrs. Berry The Rawlins woman filed acomplaint against Mrs. Berry and her daugh ter, and the case was on trial at th time of the shooting. When court was called, Mrs. Berry filed a coun- tercharge against Mrs. Rawlins, and the latter wanted to file another charge. The magistrate said it would be best to continue the case until next week, and the party start- ed to leave the room, Berry remark- ing that the Rawlins family must. leave his family alone.

Boston, May 27 —Plans have been ; completed by a secret organization with headquarters here for a negro exodus from the South. The plan of the society, which numbers 500 mem bers, is to depopulate the entire South and Southwest of negroes. They will be brought North to Bos- ton and distributed throughout the West in agricultural and mining communities. The first band of emi- grants, 5,000, will land in Boston about July 1, the society’s leaders say. The Southern headquarters of the society are in Georgia, but the precise location is kept secret in fear of mob violence, or interference from thewhites, Agents of the society are now gathering negroes from all parts of the South.

Ardsley-on-the-Hudson, N. Y., May 29.—R. L. Sewall, son of the late Arthur Sewall, who was W. J. Bryan’s running mate in 1596, was vindicated by the coroner's inquest into the Ardsley Club mystery and the mystery of who killed Jobn Hef- fernan on the lawn of thefashionable club is still unsolved. The vindication of Sewall sets at rest presumbly all the gossip involv- iug unnamed society men and their possible motives. The testimony of Dr. George F. Shrady, a noted specialist of New York City, who was on the veranda of the clubhouse when the shooting occurred, established the faet that during the half hour following the shooting Heffernan was in a state bordering on delirium and that he did not know what he was doing or saying. The contradictory nature of Hef- fernan’s statements at the time would also seem to corroborate the theory of his irresponsibility. To Sarah Campbell the dying man said he thought “Mr. Hewitt’s son- in-law had shot him;” to Mr. Sewall he declared that someone shot him in the back from behind some bushes —hedid not know who it was; totwo young employes of the Ardsley Club thedying man declared ‘Mr, Hewitt's intended son-in-law” had shot him; to Mr. Eldridge, a member of the Ardsley Club, Heffernan said “Mr. Hewitt’s coachman had shot him.” Seven or eight witnesses testified to being at dinner with Mr. Sewall, who is to marry Miss Hewitt next week, and Mr. Jaffray, a son-in-law of Hewitt atthe Hewitt home when —— word came of the murder.
