Headquarter for Dry Goods REVISION OP CREED. New York IYenbyt?ry Will Ask for a Chanire In Confusion of Faith. NEW YORK. Spt, 17.-The New York Presbytery with the other 231 presbyteries In the t'nlted States Is Kttln(t ready to answer the question of the committee Inquiry about a revision of the confession of faith. This committee was appointed last May by the general assembly at St Louis. They met at Saratosra recently and as a result of their meetinjr the presby teries have received the following questions, which they are asked to an swer: First Dd you desire a revision of our confession of faith? or Second Do you desire a supplemental explanatory statement? or Third Do you desire to supplement our present doctrinal standards with a briefer itatement of the doctrine "most suely believed amonit us," express-In in simple lnnmince the faith of the church In loyalty to the system of dotvine contain.! In ho'y scripture and held by the reformed churches? or Fourth Do you desire the dismissal of the whole subject so that our doc trinal standards shall remain as th'y are without any chanee . whatever, whether revisional. suppleiw-ntnl or substitutional? The New York Presbytery will meet on October 1 when action will be taken. At the office of the New York Obser ver, a Presbyterian paper In this city. It was said In reirard to the probable action of the local body: "The probability Is that the presby tery will ask for a chanjre. provided the Calvanist party creed Is not changed. The presbytery ten years airo voted In this way. There will proba bly be. for instance, a desire to re vise such a part of the creed as 'elect Infants dylns In Infancy are saved' as the word 'elect' seems to some people to Imply that .here are other children who are lost. This may be chanted by dropping the -vord 'elect.' Another matter to oe settled has Just corre up in regard to the proposed re vision. Henry 'W. Lamblrth. of Phila delphia, has contended that the com mittee of sixteen on revision is uncon stitutionally formed, as it contains three memb?rs from one srnod. that of Pennsylvania, namely tfie Rev. Drs. Charles A. Dickey and S. W. Dana and Elder Wlllam R. Crabbe. The consti tution of the Presbyterian church says that before any amendments or alter ations of tin confession of faith are transmitted to the presbyteries the gen eral assemply shall appoint a commit tee to considar the subject and that committee shall not have more than two members from the same synod. Dr John Dixon of the Presbyterian board of Horn? Missions had this to say on the subject: "I do not think Mr. Lambert's speech was well taken. The committee of six teen 5s only, a committee of Inquiry. It ! simply ask In the presbyteries If they would favor any changre In the creed. The general assembly has not yet taken uo the work of revision. It would not now stop simply because of a technicality, any way. If it decides to (to more deeply Into the matter it will without question follow the rule to the letter." Dr. Erskine N." White, secretary of the board of church erection, faid that there was no way of knowing how the presbytery would act. From a personal point of view he continued: "There are doubtless some minor changes that might be considered wise. The creed was formed twenty-five years seo. at a time when there was great opposition to the ways of the church Rome. Today no one would think of putting In a creed 'the pope of Rome Is antl-Chrlstlan and the son of perdition.' It is altogether likely tha; this will be left out In case of re vision. Two-thirds of the presbyteries must vote for a revision before It can be made. "Nine years ago many' who wished changes voted against those that were nro nosed because they desired more. Many people also think that there are more changes that are leslrable but FOR ALL imfE 3 T 4 BILIOUS AND NERVOUS DISORDERS; SICK HEADACHE, ) and CONSTIPATION, I Kindred ' WEAK STOMACH, Diseases Bold (Terrwbere, In boxes, at 10 cents and 2b 'vvvwvwwvyvvvvvv purpose. for waists, for entire gowns and for on the Lower Columbia. that this Is not the time to obtain them. "The contention of the Philadelphia presbyetry Is. In my opinion, of no avail, for amendments to the creed huve vet not been offered." Dr. Sample, who was moderator of the general assembly In 1S39. said: "Personally. I am satisfied with the creed Ju?t as It Is. as I Interpret it. I do think that It must be wise to have It slightly revised so that the misap prehension about it that now exists may be removed.- Many arsons seem to think we believe things we do not be lieve. A number of Presbyterians would vote for a change becouse they feel that many members of rood stand ing In th church desire It. "It Is Tny opinion that the presby tery will -Jet the matter go over until November." PHILIPPINE COMMISSION. Transacting Much Business of Import ance at Manila. MANILA. Sept.

Unionists Are Making a Strong Fight for an Immediate Appeal to the Country. NEW YORK. Sept. 17.-A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: Lord Salisbury must b a statesman of phenomenal strenjrth of purpose '. he can overdue and resist the press ure from the Unionist party In favor of the dissolution M parliament. The main objections to an Immediate appeal to the country are first th.tt a political use will be made of an lot portal emergency for convincing the Dmoh of South Africa that the results of the war are permanent, and second that the elivtli ps will be hold on a re duced register, "educating voters who were not qualified two yearn o," as Mr. AsiUlth lias .stated the case in the b'st fighting speech heard mi far on the liberal sile. and while accept ing the annexation of the Dutch re publics us Irreversible, he has protest ed against narrowing the appeal of the British democracy down to the cam paign In South Africa and exploiting the patriotism of the empire for the benefit of the party In power. The Unionists perceive the advantage of their position and are bent upon making full use of It. and as Lord Salisbury is a party leader na well as a statesman he Is not likely to hold back. The defeat of the Unionists, when "Soldiers of the Queen" Is the tune to which the electors will march to the pulls and when the old register Is heavily against the Liberals, will be one of the most startling surprises of British politics. A definite announcement of the date of dissolution Is expected on Tuesday, when the privy council has to nuvt at Falmoral. Rumors current within tw'ntv-four hours have designated Tuesday, Sept. L"5. as the date of dis solution. This would bring on the elec tions during the first fcrtnlght In Oc tober. Politicians explain that the elec tions must be held during that fort night or not until January. The new registry will be in full operation In Scotland late in October but while it wa completed In England during Au gust It does not go Into effect until January. Politicians affirm that It would be unprecedented to have the elections on a new registry In Scot land and an old one In England and, consequently, that the appeal must be made early In October or else deferred I until the opening of the new year. Lodrera mainly are disfranchised by the defective registry and. as the Lib eral party represents the masses. It will be placed at a decided advantage bv October elections. The Chlr.a question will not be raised during the canvass In any form. Nego tiations are In progress, but the results are not likely to be reached until the close of October. Lord Salisbury Is always reticent and uncommunicative respecting a matter of high diplomacy and he will have a political motive for holding back the correspondence and keeping the country In the dark re garding his policy !n China. He will not wish to divert public attention from South Africa during the elections and, embarrassed as he Is by lack of an effective ally In the China compli cations, he cannot Increase the pres tige of the government by any dis closures of the isolation of England In her Inability to secure reparation for the security of the future. Germany and Russia will be left free to work out a settlement with Prince Chlng and Earl LI. and the triple and ! dual alliances will both be committed to It MAN WITH THE IRON MASK. t Death of Famous Character Who Sought to Conceal His Deformed Features. NEW YORK. Sept. 17. The Bellevue hospital patient known as the "Man With the Iron Mask" Is dead. Thos. Oliver Colt was his name. He was "re lated to the family of gun makers of that name and was born In Connecti cut At the age of fifteen, while playing ball, he was struck In the face by a ball, his cheek bones being broken and his nose broken. Erysipelas foil lowed and the nose was lost as was a portion of his face. He was brought to Belle vue hospital by his parents, the head of the surgical division of that Insti tution being Professor Thomas C. Sabine, who heard the story and said he would make the boy a nose. The result was the first Sabine operation as It Is now known. Colt's, left hand was placed on his face and the third finger relieved of the nail and placed on the bridge of the nose. It took two months to grow there while It was held In position by a plaster cast and then It was cut from the hand at the second Joint. Thirty-two operations and two years In the hospital gave a new face to Colt. Ir I8S6 he married Miss Plate, of Orange, N. J. She said she recipro cated his affections because of his mind. In November, 1896, he shot her In Jer sey City and then shot himself. Roth lived and he was tried for attemptid murder. He was convicted and sen tenced to fifteen years In the peniten tiary. After serving two years he was pardoned. He took every means of concealing his features whn In public. In August he was admitted to Bellevue hospital suffering from Brlgtit's disease. He was fearful that other patients would see his face so he kept It muffled and became known to the other pat ents as the "Man With the Iron Mask." LORD ROBERTS GOING HOME. LONDON. Sept. 17.-T1H?

NEW YORK. Sept. 17.-When the campaigners departed from the Empire City track last Saturday the grand cir cuit of 1S0O was virtually ended. Many of the western horses have gone to Col umbus and Fort Wayne, while the east em trtables have scattered to meet again next week at Boston. An examination of the records shows that 549 miles were trotted and pacM In races at the nine nuttings of the circuit.
