A COUNCIL FOR
PRESBYTERIANS
PROPOSED AS THE PLAN
FOR bringing about a union of
branches.
l’loit of Federation Decided Upon by
tli,e Cmimluloh Meeting In Phlla-
Jripbin—lmportant Step Taken.
••Federal Council o£ Reformed
tliureheo In America Holding the
Presbyterian System” the Name
proposed.
Pittsburg, Nov. 30.—The commission
representing the seven branches of the
Presbyterian Church in this country,
meeting here, decided to-day on a
plan of federation for the various
, hurches, and the most important step
yet taken towards the ultimate goal
of organic union was determined upon
definitely.
Rev. Dr. J. D. Steele, secretary
of the commission, says the plan pro
vides for the establishment of a coun
cil, which will be called the “Federal
Council of Reformed Churches in Amer
ica. holding the Presbyterian system.”
The council will have no power over
the worship, creed or government of
the churches, which will remain the
same as they always have been.
Hoard of Arbitration.
The council. Dr. Steele says, will be
practically a board of arbitration. It
will be composed of four ministers and
four laymen from each of the denom
inations represented with an additional
minister and elder from each church
for each 200,000 communicants over
200,000. According to this agreement
the Northern Presbyterian Church,
with about 1,000,000 members, will have
sixteen representatives and the other
churches will be represented in pro
portion. Each church belonging to the
federation will retain its own identity
in all things.
The seven churches which were rep
resented on the commission are the
Reformed Presbyterian Church, Gen
eral Synod: the Reformed Church in
America, the Presbyterian Church in
the United States of America; the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States, the United Presbyterian
Church, the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church and the Reformed Church in
the United States.
MUST NOT COPY
THE TRUST SYSTEM.
Germany Warned Against the Plan
of (lie American Octopus.
Berlin, Nov. 30.—1n the Prussian
Diet the last two days have been de
voted to an animated ( debate on the
bill appropriating $17,500,000 to take
over the shares of the Hibernia Coal
Company, which the Dresdner Bank
bought on behalf of the Prussian gov
ernment. The biH passed its first read
ing and was referred to a committee.
Herr Moeller, Minister of Commerce
and Industry, dipped into the trust
question as it exists in the United
States • and warned Germany against
copying the American system.
“For several years,” he said, “we in
Europe were under the spell of those
powerful American organizations. We
believed the Americans had discovered
the philosopher's stone. After time had
elapsed and we had observed what
had become of those trusts, we were in
a position to regard them more calmly.
We Germans were most dazed by the
greatness of the steel trust. What
shape did matters take with that con
cern? In order to effect an. organiza
tion it was compelled to resort to crazy
over-capitalization."
Minister Moeller, continuing, said the
iron works had been capitalized to
double, to three-fold and finally to ten
fold their actual value, and that the
company Is no longer master of the
competitive situation in its own coun
try. Its management of prices caused
new works to be established, which
were better equipped than the older
ones and were producing greater
amounts by cheaper methods. The steel
trust, he added, controls at present
only 45 per cent, of the country's pro
duction, against 70 to 80 per cent, at
the start.
“Against such experiments,” the
minister concluded, “may Germany be
preserved.”

New York, Nov. 30.—The creditors of

MRS. CHADWICK WILL
PAY BACK $190,000.
How She Will Settle the Ulalra of
Herbert B. Newton,
New York. Nov. 30.—“ Mrs. Cassle
L. Chadwick, will settle the claim
against her by Herbert B. Newton of
Brookline, Mass., for $190,000 upon a
cash basis and in full.”
This statement was made to-day by
George Rvali of the firm of Baggott &
Ryan, and counsel in New York for
Mr. Newton.
"I have seen Mrs. Chadwick at her
apartments at the Holland House to
day,” Mr. Ryall said, "and as a re
sult of my talk with her, I am able to
say that the ease will be settled in a
few days satisfactorily to my client.
The settlement will be upon a cash
basis and our claim will be paid in
full.
“Mrs. Chadwick is indignant at the
published stories connecting her with
another woman,” continued Mr. Ryall.
"and when the case has been settled
she is very liable to bring suit against
some people. She also denies the sto
ries ti. the effect that several banks
are involved in her case.”
Mr. Chadwick is seriously ill at the
Holland House. It is said that Mrs.
Chadwick is on the verge of a nervous
breakdown.
Phillip Carpenter, one of 'Mrs. Chad
wick's attorneys, gave out the follow
ing statement to-day:
“Mrs. Chadwick states that Mr. Car
negie has never had any connection
with her affairs. The statements that
have appeared in the press to the con
trary are untrue. She is too ill to
make any' general statement at this
time.”
GAVE NOTE FOR $25.000
FOR COLLEGE ENDOWMENT.
Oberlin, 0., Nov. 30.—President
Henry Churchill King of Oberlin Col
lege, referring to-day to the report that
Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick had secured
a. loan from the college last winter
amounting to $75,000, said:
“Mrs. Chadwick does not owe the
college a cent on the loan in question.
We made the loan on the assurances
from Mr. Reynolds that the security
was gilt edged and absolutely safe.
The loan, together with the interest,
was paid when the note became due.
"Some time ago Mrs. Chadwick,
through President Beckwith of the
Citizens National Bank of Oberlin, vol
untarily subscribed $25,000 to the en
dowment fund of Oberlin College and
gave us her note for that sum, pay
able Jan. 1 next. In view of recent
developments, however, it is probable
that the college will not receive this
money.”
KILLED HERSELF BECAUSE
OF HER LOVE AFFAIR.
Alexandria, Ind., Nov. 30. —Exami-
nation of the effects of the dead clair
voyant, Madame Ellado, who commit
ted suicide here Sunday, fails to es
tablish any connection between her
and Mrs. Chadwick. Mme. Ellado has
been traveling with street fairs and
carnivals and killed herself on account
of a love affair here with a man
named Reynolds. She was buried in
the pauper cemetery.
WANTEdTcT BORROW
FROM MANY BANKS.
Cleveland, 0., Nov. 30.—Telegrams
from surrounding cities show that Mrs.
Chadwick was a large borrower or a
would-be large borrower from most of
the banks and financial institutions in
those places for th 4 past four or five
years.
W. L. Fay of Elyria said to-day that
he had acted as an agent for Mrs.
Chadwick in procuring loans from the
Citizens' National Bank at Oberlin and
that he had loaned her money him
self. Mrs. Chadwick called Banker
C. C. Bently of Ravenna to her home
in Cleveland several months ago to see
about a loan of $15,000 from the Second
National Bank of which Bently was
president In the discussion which
followed, Mrs. Chadwick said that she
was the owner of stocks and bonds
to the amount of $7,500,000.
Rnllotn for Mine Workers.
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 30.—The offi
cial ballots are being sent out from
the headquarter of the United Mine
Worker of America for the election
of the following national officers:
President, vice president, secretary
treasurer, three auditors, three tellers
and seven delegates to the national
convention of the American Federation
of Labor.
There is no opposition to the re-elec
tion of President John Mitchell, Vice
President T. L. Lewis and Secretary-
Treasurer William B. Wilson, but for
the other positions there is a large num
ber of candidates. The votes are to be
in twenty days before the opening of
the national convention in this city
Jan. 16, and will be counted by the na
tional tellers at once.
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is
in Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present In
the stomach and Intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and im
proves the complexion: it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs‘the Injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of caturrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
Is In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics In tablet form or rather
In the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The dally use of these lozenges will
soon tell In a much Improved condi
tion of tlta general health, better com
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and t>he beauty of It Is, that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says; “I ad
vise Stuart's Charcoal Ixmenges to ail
patients suffering from gus In stom
ach and bowels, and to dear the com
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; I also believe the liver Is
grestly benefited by Ihe dally use of
them; they cost but twsnly-flve cents
a box at drug stores, and although
in some sense a patent preparation, yet
1 believe I get more and better char
coal in Stuart's f'hsrooal Losenges
than In any of the ordinary ukwiMl
tablets. “ 1

MAY THROW ADAMS OUT
If Colorado Court Sustains tlie Re
publican Claims.
Denver, Col.. Nov. 30.—The Supreme
Court to-day heard argument on a
motion which has an important bear
ing upon the result of the election of
Governor and members of the Legis
lature in this state.
Attorneys representing the Republi
can party have asked the Supreme
Court, which has assumed original ju
risdiction in the local election cases,
to order the Denver election commis
sion to throw out the entire vote of a
precinct in which it is alleged the
court’s order relating to watchers was
violated without an investigation to
determine the number of legal votes
cast and without opening the ballot
box.
Should the court order the vote of
this precinct thrown out the attorneys
for the Republicans will demand sim
ilar action in respect to about fifty pre
cints, in which it is charged that the
court's orders were violated. All these
precincts gave majorities for Alva
Adams for Governor, and by throwing
out the returns the Republican man
agers hope to overcome Adams’ ma
jority of about 11,000 in the state and.
continue Gov. Peabody in office.
The control of the State Senate also
appears to hinge upon the decision in
this matter.
TO MAKE CITIES CLEAN.
Cabinet of Cithn I* Now Interested
In This Undertaking.
Havana, Nov. 30.—At a meeting of
the cabinet this evening it was de
cided to set aside a credit of SIO,OOO
for the erection of a hospital for infec
tious diseases at Santiago and also to
draw temporarily -upon other govern
ment funds for the disinfection of the
Cobre mines, Punta De Sal and Dai
quiri, and for the street cleaning at
places where it is considered to be
urgent.
To-day’s conference of President Pal
ma with the moderate leaders de
veloped the willingness of the latter
to provide means for sanitation at
government expense. President Palma
will summon the nationalist leaders of
Congress to a conference and urge
upon them prompt co-operation in the
providing of funds for the sanitation,
of the cities.

RUSSIA NOT READY NOW
FOR A PEACE CONGRESS
Suggests That Roosevelt Wait Until the War in
the Far East Is Over.
Washington, Nov. 30.—Russia is un
willing to join the Powers in a second
peace conference at The Hague until
her war i\*ith Japan is ended.
The Russian reply to Secretary Hay's
circular note to the Powers, of Oct. 23
last, inviting them in the name of the
President to reassemble in conference
at The Hague "to complete the post
poned work of the first coiferenee,”
was delivered verbally to Secretary
Hay to-day by Count Cassini, the Rus
sian ambassador. The ambassador was
requested by his government to say
that Russia heartily accepted in prin
ciple the invitation to a second con
ference at The Hague, and gladly as
sociated herself with the American gov
ernment in its effort to complete Ihe
mission of the first great assembly con
veneiLunder the leadership of the Rus
sian Emperor.
The ambassador was further re
quested to say that while the Russian
government very sincerely cherished
these views, it did not consider the
moment opportune for the convening
of such a conference, and it, therefore,
must withhold its formal acceptance of
the invitation until the war in the Far
East was at an end.
Secretary Hay and Count Cassini
were in conference for nearly an hour.
The ambassador was careful to assure
the Secretary that his government wel
comed the invitation of the President

After tl\ various announcements
had been made, and before dismissing,
as the hour for adjournment had ar

elders. I do not want you preachers
or laymen to be bothering me. 1 pre
sume your presiding elder is qualified
to represent your case or your church.
It he is not, he has no business in the

ican government's appreciation of the
beneficent results of the first confer
ence, and regretted the necessity of
suggesting a postponement of the work
then begun, a work in which the Rus
sian government, no less than the
American, was keenly Interested.
Secretary Hay thanked the Ambas
sador for the cordiality with which the
declaration of Russia's adherence in
principle to the proposition had been
conveyed to the American government
and assured him he would forthwith
transmit 'the reply to the President.
Although different in form, the Rus
sian reply does not differ in effect from
that of Geat Britain, France and the
other European powers, practically all
of which have already answered the
invitation. While Russia is the first
power specifically to suggest a post
ponement until the close of the war,
all the Powers in expressing their ap
proval of the proposition reserved for
future pourparlers the time when the
conference should be held.
It can be stated Hint this govern
ment is well pleased with the recep
tion its note has received. For the
present, it is probable the American
government will rest on its oars.
When the Far Eastern war enters on
Its final stage, this government will
be prepared to follow up its invita

PERUNA Is known from the Atlan

gratulation and commendation testi
fying to the merits of Peruna as a ca
tarrh remedy are pouring in from
every state of the Union.
Dr. Hartman is receiving hundreds
of such letters daily. All classes write
these letters, from the highest to the
lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the Indoor arti
san, the clerk, the editor, the states

Peruna is the catarrh remedy of the
age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing
catarrh ns their greatest enemy, are
especially enthusiastic in their praise
and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent.
Peruna Is the only absolute safe
guard known. A cold is the beginning
of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure
colds, Is to cheat catarrh of Its victims.
, Peruna not only cures catarrh, but
prevents 11. Every household should
be supplied with tills great remedy for
coughs, folds atul so forth.
The ex-Governor of Oregon Is an
ardent admirer of Peruna. He keeps
It continually in the house.

housq.
