mercial Interests.
The report of the Board of Ministerial
Relief was submitted to the convention
and the report of the standing committee
on relief was read by Rev. Dr. Henry E.
Mott, of Elizabeth, N. J., chairman of
the committee. The committee recom
mended that 5125.0006 raised during the
coming year for ministerial pensions. The
report was adopted.
The report of the committee on judicial
commissions recommended the creation of
judicial commissions of presbyteries and
synods and a permanent judicial commis
sion for the membership of the general
assemblies to sit as -a court of final ap
peal. This committee suggested the fol
lowing changes in the book of discipline:
"Any presbytery or synod may at any
time elect a judicial commission of not
less than five ministers and ruling elders
for a presbytery and not less than nine
minister and ruling elders for a synod,
and may transmit to such commission any
particular judicial case for hearing and
determination.
'The court of last resort for the hearing
and determination of judicial cases shall
be styled 'The Permanent Judicial Com
mission of the General Assembly and
shall be composed of eight ministers and
seven ruling elders, who shall be elected
by the General Assembly. At the first
election 15 persons ehall be elected, five
to serve for one year, five for two years
and five for three years, and thereafter
five persons shall be elected annually to
serve for three years.
"The said permanent judicial commis
sion shall have the power to require the
attendance of parties and witnesses and
shall also have all the powers prescribed
by and conduct all its proceedings ac
cording to the rules applicable to the
trial of a judicial case before the General
Assembly.
"All appeals and references in judicial
cases taken to the General Assembly be
submitted to said permanent judicial com
mission, which shall then hear and give
final judgments."
The reports or the various boards of
the church were laid before the assembly
in a bound volume of 500 pages and. were
made special orders for sessions to follow.
The first business at the afternoon ses
sion was the report of the standing com
mittee on education. The report views at
considerable length the recommenda
tions of the general committee ap
pointed by the General Assembly of 1S99,
to consider the whole subject of educa
tion to the ministry. This- report, was
made Jo the General Assembly last year
and its recommendations adopted. The
"board had given the subject its most
careful consideration, the report con
tinues, and had taken steps to carry out
ther various Teoommendatlons of the com
Jniitee. The board hafl given? care
lul thought to the rule prepared
py "the" -special committee, prohibit
ing presbyteries from taking i -under
their care as candidates tor the
ministry persons " whose 'application
had" npt been on file with thestited clerk
p. least three months before the meeting
of the presbytery. This period -wasjtfp be

Ijatlon concerning "the fitness orTfie' ap

injury. ..because no provision is inaSe' for
any exceptions. Every year" case's.-; are
occurring in which candidates have 'been
jrovdentIally hindered from putting in
their application so long before hand,
about whose fitness no reasonable doubt
exists, and where prompt action Is urgent
ly needed. The exercise of discretionary
power In such cases appears to be prac
tically necessary.
J The report closes with a statement of
the board's financial 'condition. It pro
poses to take a legaoy of 55000 recently
wild in, add to It last year's balance of
$7216, and this year's balance of 472S4.
making a total of 519,500, to be held In
reserve to increase the rate of scholarshio
aid. It hopes by this means to Increase
the number of candidates for the ministry.
I The Board of Publication in its report
pays:
"The work of the Sabbath school and
missionary department lias been carried
on during the year April 1, 1900. to March
SL 1901, within the bounds of 23 synods,
gl presbyteries, SO states and territories,
and Hanava, Cuba. The numtier of mis
sionaries in commission to April 1, this
year, was 93. Sabbath schools to the
number of 767 were organized, and 304
schools reorganized, iwlth a total mem
bership of teachers and scholars of 3S.263
"The number of churches organized dur
ing the year 1900, the outgrowth of Sab
bath schools organized by the mlsslon--u-ies
of this board, was 66. Of these
uurches 54 are Presbyterian, with anag
iTegate membership of 1067." The report
then, eaters into tan exhaustive review of
this work by synods.
Touching the results of the twentieth
century movement, inaugurated In 15597- to
Increase the Sabbath school membership,
the board says it is unable at this time
to give a complete statement for- the
fhaye been 30 years In active service in
tne ministry of our churcn, to be piaceo. on
the honorably retired roll of the board,
to be granted, without being annually re
newed, an annuity of 5300, when they cer
tify that they need that amount. Since
then 254 ministers have availed them
selves of this privilege. Twenty-two
names'have been added to this roll during
'Die past S'ear; 13 ministers whose names
were on this Toll have died during the
jyearr During the past year we have had
136- honorably retired ministers on the
roll and their average age has been 77.9
years, and their average active service has
been 44.2 years. Forty-three of these men
were over SO years of age, and eight of
them were over SO. Whilst the average
amount paid annuitants on the honorably
retired roll was 52S5 47, the average
amount paid annuitants not on the hon
orably retired roll was only 5180.
"During the past year we have added
114 names to the roll of annuitants; 61
ministers, 44 widows, 1 woman mission
ary and S orphans. Sixty-seven of
those who were on the roll have died dur
ing the year: 3S ministers, 26 widows, 3
orphans, 5 of these were guests at the
"Westminister House at Perth Amboy, N.
J. Several of those formerly receiving aid
have withdrawn their request for furth
er assistance, and others have not been re
newed by their presbyteries. Notwith
standing these facts, we have had 931 fam
ilies on the roll during the past year be
ing 2S more families than we ever had in
any previous year."
The Board of Church. Erection Fund,
in Its 31st annual report, says:
"While there is no ground for dis
couragement, yet? It can hardly b? said
that the progress of the .church, as in
dicated by the multiplication of houses
of worship, has kept pace with the won
derful advance of our country in- its in
crease in population, growth In wealth
and swelling tide in business, which dur
ing the last three years has attracted the
attention of the world.
"If, as we have been accustomed to
think, that there Is no surer Index of the
growth of the church than the number
of, new houses of worship which It de
mands, then we cannot? say that during
these late eventful years our church has
much more than held Its own In the midst
of an ever-Increasing .population."
The annual report of the permanent
committee on temperance was presented
but not discussed. The report calls at
tention to the abolition of the Army can
teen, and suggests that the Government
establish some substitute for It. Regard
ing the liquor traffic, the committee re
ports that with the exception that the
Taft Commission has reduced the number
of saloons, no other steps have been taken
"toward righting this grievous wrong."
The committee makes two recommenda
tions, as follows:
"In all license .states where as yet an
effort for state-wide prohibition may seem
impracticable, there should be legislative
recognition of the right of every local
community to exemption from the saloon
nuisance upon the demand of its citizens
or a majority thereof.
"In all prohibition states, and in coun
ties, towns, or wards where the people
have declared against the saloon, the Is
sue of the Internal revenue tax receipt
virtually arrays the Federal power against
the people and on the side of the law
breaker. Let earnest protest be made
against this Injustice, and by correspond-,
ence with other bodies let their help be
sought in a simultaneous effort for such
modifications of the United States revenue
laws as shall right this wrong."
The report of the committee on educa
tion, referring to the statement that the
number of students for the ministry
showed a decrease from the previous year,
said:
"This state of affairs is alarming. What
must the church do to Increase the num
"ber of her candidates for the ministry?
Here Is a problem which must be met and
solved at once."
Moderator Minton announced the ap
pointment of Elder Robert Pitcalrn, of
Pittsburg, as vice-moderator, and appoint
ed the following a committee on the "Pe
oria overture": Rev. Dr. E. C. Edwards,
Peoria; Rev. Dr. W. H. Roberts, Philadel
phia; Rev. Dr. R. M. Patterson, Warren
Tavern, Pa.; Elder Robert Laldlaw, Cin
cinnati; Elder W. E. McVey, Los Angeles.
The committee will complete the details
for the election of standing committees
under the "Peoria plan," which was tried
this year for the first time.

of honor, and when he reached the hall
the parade was started with a volley of
aerial bombs'. Two thousand troops led
the way, and after them were 100 carriages
with the officials -and guests. Behind
them came the concessionaires from the
Midway.
.The entry of the proce!op to the expo
sition grounds at noon was a magnificent
spectacle. The crowd In the grounds at
the time numbered fully 40,000,. and the
greater part of it was massed In the es
planade. Tho troops were halted in ths
forecourt, and then formed in double col
umns across the Bridge "of Triumph. The
officials and guests -left their carriages,
marched through the lines of troops and
then continued on in a roped enclosure to
esplanade beyond. President Milbunv
of the exposition, and Vice-President
Roosevelt led the way, and the crowd
cheered them as they advanced. One hun
died yards from the Temple of Music they
halted, and at the other end of the es
planade several thousand carrier pigeons
wefe suddenly released. Confused at
first by thir own numbers, they circled
low in wild flight, and then gradually
soared upward on graceful wings. When
they got their bearings they parted and
took flight to every -quarter1 of the com
pass. The Vice-President and party filed Into
the Temple of Music, and the parade, re
forming, "marched on through the grounds.
The formal dedicatory services in the
presence of a crowd, limited only by the
si2e of the hall, were Impressive. All of
the American Republics were represented
at the dedication, and their military at
taches and commissioners were given con
spicuous places in the group of special
guests. The exercises began at 12:45
o'clock, with the rendition of Handel's
"Hallelujah" by the Seventy-First Regi
ment Band. Bishop Charles H. Fowler
followed in prayer. President Mllburn
read a series of congratulatory telegrams,
including the following from President
iMcKInley:
"San Francisco, May 20. Hon. William
I. Buchanan, Director-General, Pan-American
Exposition, Buffalo, N. Y. Fellow
Citizens of the United States and Fellow
Americans from All Our Neighbor Na
tions: I send you greetings from the
shores of the Pacific, with fervent prayers
fonltbe-ibenedlctlon of Heaven upon this
beneficent enterprise, with sincere con
gratulations to all those whose energy
and devotion have brought It to pass, and
with heartfelt welcome to our guests from
our sister republics, to whom we wish
continued and abundant prosperity. May
there be no cloud upon this grand festi
val of peace and commerce, no thought
of rivalry, except that general competi
tion in useful arts and Industries which
benefits all. I earnestly hope that this
great exhibition may proye a blessing to
every country of this hemisphere, and
that even the world at large may profit
by the progress of which we give proof,
learn the lesson of our efforts and their
results. I trust that it may become evi
dent before this exhibition closes that our
vast and increasing prosperity is fruitful
of nothing but good to our elders In the
brotherhood of nations, and that our on
ward march may forever exemplify the
divine will of 'Peace on earth and good
will to men.' WILLIAM M'KINLEY."
Telegrams or letters of congratulation
were also read from the Governor-General
of Canada, the Presidents of Haytl,
Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Nicaragua,
Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina and San
to Domingo, and the Governors of Ja
maica send Martinique.
Mayor Conrad Dlehl was then intro
duced. Robert Cameron Rogers read a
poem. The Orpheus Society gave a mag
nificent rendering of Sturm's "Salve, Llb
ertas," and Vice-President Roosevelt was
presented. He was vigorously cheered be
fore and after his address. Emlilo de Go-
gorsea sang the prologue from "I Pag
llaccl," and Senator Lodge was presented.
When he had finished, Frederick Almy
read a poem, and Lieutenant-Governor
Timothy Woodruff then spoke. After
the Lieutenant-Governor had- concluded
the chorus and audience united In singing
"America." The benediction was by Bish
op William D. Walker. The closing mu
sical number was rendered by the Seventy
first Regiment Band. '
At the conclusion of the exercises there
was an elaborate display of day fireworks
on the esplanade, and about the Court of
Fountains. The feature to It was the
electrical display. Many of those who
came during the day dined at the grounds
and Joined In the night crowds. The
electrical tower, a dazzling column of
light, and the play of the lights on the
fountains below, produced some beautiful
effects.
Today's total admissions from 8 A. M.
to 11 P. M. were 101,687. This does 'not
include several thousand persons who
came through the Lincoln Park way en
trance with the parade.
Blood Poison
THE MOST DESTRUQT8VE OF
ALL HUMAN DISEASES.
Vi?! o$r3 t5 l RB7
The poison ejected from the fangs of the rattle-
make is not more surely lata! than the virus ot j
Contacnons Blood Poison, -which -pollutes and vitiates .?
the blood, destroys the tissues and bones, and eats like 'rn
a canker sore into tne nesn.
This horrible disease appears first in the form of a little sore or blister ; soon
Ihelands begin to swell, pimples break out on the body, the mouth and throat
become sore, making it painful to eat or swallow; dreadful nlcers appear oathe
tongue,, copper colored splotches and other characteristic signs of Blood Poison
come as the disease progresses, and the destructive virus takes deeper hold upon the
system. The medical men are as sorely perplexed over the character of this blood
poison as ever ; they tell you to take mercury and potash alternately for three years,
but the stomach of no human being can stand this treatment lopg"; besides, they do
not cure the disease permanently, as thousands who have tried it know.
o. o. o. is me oniy
guaranteed purely vege
table blood purifier, and
the only antidote for
this particular virus i
it purifies the blood and
builds up the constitu
tion. The appetite im
proves almost from the
first dose, the sores soon
show signs of healing,
and the unsightly, dirty
splotches and eruptions
grow paler and paler,
and finally disappear.
S: S. S. is not a new medicine ; for nearly 50 years it has beenJcnown and used
"for this dreadful disease. It has broughtnew life and hope to thousands all over
this land ; it will cure you as it has others. Send for our free book on' home
treatment and write our physicians about your case. "We will help you if you will

I contracted Blood Poison two years ago this fall,
and was persuaded to try a medicine -widely adver
tised by a remedy company in Chicago. X was ro
tiuixed -to pay a. laxsre amount in. advance, and can.
truthfully say that X -was worse when tho treatment
was left off thanjwhon X began. Reddish, pimples
would break out and fill with yellowish matter ; copper-colored
splotches of all sizes would appear on my
body ; my throat was so sore I could scarcely swallow,
and my mouth and tongue were seldom froa from,
ulcers ; tonsils wore swollen, and my hair was com
ing out rapidly. This was my condition -when X began,
your S. S. S. X have used twenty-two bottlo3, and
am feeling splendid. -Every sore on my body has
healed, and my appetite, good. JAKE MARTIN.

Vice-Principal Charles A. Elston. of the

night what Is supposed to be a new
comet. The comet was In the constel
lation of Orion and when seen at about
8 o'clock last night was about 15 degrees
above the horizon, to the southwest. The
tall was thought to be about ten degrees
or more in length. It Is thought that the
comet Is an entirely new one, as there Is
no known comet due at this time. The
body seen by Elston may be the one re

HONOLULU, May 13, via San Francis
co, May 20. The extra session of the Leg
islature called by Governor Dole for the
consideration of appropriation bills Is in
session and the committe work done so
far shows the expected general slashing
Into salaries of Government officials. A
large number of clerks and other minor
officials will probably be left unprovided
for altogether and the heads of all de
partments are cut. .
On the first day of the extra session the
Home Rule passed a resolution ask
ing the Governor about the county gov
ernment act, which was left In his hands
at the request of the regular session and
which fell victim to a pocket veto. The
passage of the resolution to make this in
quiry was preceded by a fiery debate in
which Representative Emmetuth declared
that the Governor must be removed. In
response to the resolution, the Governor's
secretary replied that no action had been
taken with regard to the bill.
The executive reply brought forth a res
olution of "want of confidence" In Gover
nor Dole. The resolution Introduced as a
concurrent" resolution by Representative
Emmetuth, passed the House by a vote
of 12 to 11.
