Important RnlinfC Made 1>> the Dis¬ trict Commissioner!*. The attorney for the District having in¬ formed the Commissioners, as heretofore stated in The Star, that under the power to make general regulations for the use of the sidewalks and parkings, as provided in the act of July 3, 1WS. they may iirovlde for such use with or without compensation, the Commissioners today approved the opinion. As a result of this action each of the commission merchants doing business on Louisiana avenue between 9th and 10th streets will be notified that, upon applying to the Commissioners in writing for per¬ mission to do business on the sidewalk in front of their respective places of business, it will be granted to them, without com¬ pensation, under the authority conferred upon the Commissioners by the act of July 1, 1898. Cheap Publicity. For fifteen cents you can let every one in Washington know by a Star want ad. that you want a situation or want a cook. Arnae for Rehearing. The excise board today listened to argu¬ ments by Attorneys Charles Maurice Smith and Ashley M. Gould, representing John C. SeiJer, a saloon keeper doing busi¬ ness at 44J3 L street northeast, for a re¬ hearing on his application for a liquor license. The board, however, overruled the motion for a rehearing, and Seller, who lias been allowed to continue business un¬ til the liOth Instant, will at that time be required to close his place. The man's application has been pending for nearly a year, and has been vigorously fought on both sides. Before Trial Officer l'ugli. The case of Special Policeman Clifford Grant, who does duty at 7th and F streets, against whom a charge of clubbing Samuel Alexander, colored, was preferred and af¬ terward withdrawn, as heretofore publish¬ ed in The Star, was heard today by Trial Officer Pugh. Alexander was called as a witness, and said when the case was called before he did not appear to prosecute because he had been advised not to appear. Mr. W. W. Grcesbeck, a clerk in the pat¬ ent office, told substantially the same story as that told by Alexander. The officer, he said, shook his fist in the colored man's face, threatened to arrest him and after¬ ward did arrest him. Questioned by Mr. Pugh, witness said there had been nothing said to him about not appearing against the officer, but he requested that Mr. C. M. Buck of the pat¬ ent office be sent for and questioned on this point. Cassius M. Buck was sent for, and when questioned said Giant and his attorney called at his office and asked him to help him in the case. Witness had several con- i.citations with Grant, who threatened that ne would have the witnesses dismissed from office. Want* Quickly Filled. At this season, when so many are seek¬ ing situations, and. on the other hand, so many seeking employes, it is of interest to know that advertisements under the classifications Wanted Help and Wanted Situations are inserted in The Star at a cl.argp of 15 cents for filteen words.

HOI SE OK DEPl TIES. Final Adjournment of Convention Next Tne»dn) \(treed I (ton. When the house of deputies met this morning the minutes were read by Dr. Hutchins, the secretary, and messages were received from the bishops. One announced concurrence in the resolution to continue the joint commission on the revision of the constitution and canons. The second was important. It announced that the bishops had considered proposed article of the constitution, providing for the erection of new dioceses, and had stricken out the pro¬ vision confining such dioceses to the bound¬ aries of single states or territories. A con¬ ference was suggested by 1'resident Dix, and Rev. Drs. Kgar and Gilbert and Judge tarle were appointed on behalf of the dep¬ uties. H The committer on expenses reported a resolut on. which was passed, providing that ail printing to be done for any committee during the intervals between the meeting:', of the convention should be lone under the supervision ot the secretary of the house. When the committee on memorials of de¬ ceased members was called the chairman. Rev. Dr. Reese F. Alsop of i.ong Island, announced that the committee's report had been made the special order for today at 10.45 o clock, but that the committee was ready to report at once. By unanimous consent the immediate consideration of the report was agreed to, and after an elo¬ quent prayer by Rev. Dr. Dix, during which the deputies devoutly knelt, Chair¬ man Alsop read the report. It recited bv dioceses the list of the members of the house of deputies who had passed awav since the last general convention, giving the name of each, the dates of his birth and death and his length of service as a member of conventions. Convention Will Adjourn Tnendny. The conference committee on the ques¬ tion of the final adjournment of the con¬ vention reported that the original date set by the house of deputies, Tuesday. October 24, had been finally agreed to.

Dr. Randolph H. AlcKim made a motion to call upon the house of bishops for the return of the message announcing the ncn-concurrenci of the constitutional piovision that missionary districts lie given vot.s in general convention. He based his resolution on the necessity which he be¬ lieved existed of considering furth-r the propriety of curtailing the right of mis¬ sionary district representatives to vote in general conventions. He believed such rep¬ resentatives should be allowed such privi¬ leges as are extend-d to representatives pom the territories in Congress, the right to seats, but not the right to votes. Vot»s from Africa, Japan, Porto Rico, and that Impalpable tiling known as the convocation of European churches would have th? same weight as those from regular American dio- ceses. While the beautiful harmouy now existing in the church lasted there? would be no danger from this, he said, but there might arise again, as there had in the past important differences in which there might be danger from it. <;ov. Prince Itepllex. Gov. Prince of New Mexico stated in re¬ ply to Dr. McKim that the proposition to give missionary district representatives votes did not originate in such districts, but came from the dioceses. There were many dioceses that had not so many cler¬ gymen as certain missionary districts. It was no more fair to compare the numerica1 strength of a missionary district with that of a ci.at diocese like New York or Penn- sylvania than it was to make similar com- parison between the small regular diocese of Arkansas and one of the larger ones The power to vote provided in the amend¬ ment would aid, he said, in streng'hening missionary districts into full. A motion to lay Dr. McKim's motion on the table was lost by a vote of 101 to SU. tli ii re li Kducntlim. The house then proceeded to the consid¬ eration of the special order fixed for this morning, which was the consideration of the report of the joint committee on edu¬ cation on the subject of the relations be¬ tween the church and the school. Bishop Doane took the chair. The church, said the report, was not en¬ tirely satisfied with the present system of the putilic schools, because there was no religion taught in the schools. The public schools should not only turn out well-equip¬ ped scholars, but Christians as weil. In pri¬ vate schools, especially of the secondary schools, the church was now strong; in col¬ leges it was weak. The schools under direction of the church were doing successful work in developing children into earnest and loyal Christians. In the west this was particularly true] Such a system was needed in the south, es¬ pecially among the colored people. The most serious problem in education for the church was the college. The church should take measures to solve it and provide for religious education in the higher institu¬ tions, either directly or Indirectly. Culleicex Inadequate. The colleges in the north were small and had little more than local or ecclesiastical reputation.a plan had been proposed that the colleges should enter into an academic conference similar to that in effect at Ox¬ ford and Cambridge. The committee com¬ mended it for consideration and discussion. It was, however, true that seekers after education of the higher sort would turn to the great institutions of the east or the state universities of the west. The church should follow them there. There should be established in university towns every¬ where attractive attributes of the church in the shape of chapels, churches and col¬ lege halls. Clergymen should be selected for these charges for their power to Impress the young. There was no better place to carry the necessary mission to the rich and wealthy than to the academic towns where the sons of the rich assemble. Prop¬ er means should be taken to Influence these young men to lead Christian lives Several deputies called attention to what they regarded as deficiencies in the report attention being directed to the failure of the report to mention any of the church schools in the south, while commending the institutions at Tulkfgee and at Hampton, Va. Notice was al* directed to the fail¬ ure to note the work being done by Sun¬ day schools ill the cause of Christian edu¬ cation. . The committee recommended the adop¬ tion of resolutinn.-Q thanking Rev. Dr. Charles F. Hoifmsnn for his efforts in pro¬ moting the iittere^nof the society for the encouragement of scRools, and to urge upon the rich the advisability of establishing schools and college's for the Christian edu¬ cation of the young. Bluliop GflWert'n Dfinarka. Bishop Gi-bert of ^Minnesota opened the discursicn of the report, and gave a most Interesting history} of the progress of edu¬ cation under his direction in Minnesota. The schools, he were open and at¬ tended by children whose parents belonged to various denominations, children of lto- man Catholics, of Jews, were taught, but ntver a word was uttered in the walls of the schools that could make these persons feel hurt. The consequence was the schools had the hettty support of all the patrons, no matter what religious denomination they belonged to. When inouiries were made about the church they were answered and its beauties end blessings described and ex¬ plained. In conclusion. Bishop Gilbert said he ha-3 no hope for the future of the secondary schools unless they were endowed, and he eloquently pleaded to the laity to give them their love, their loyalty and their alms. Hobart College. Rev. Dr. Nelson, the next speaker, took for his subject "Hobart College," the state college of New York at Geneva. lie said It had graduated about 3,000 men. He called attention to the fact that in the alumni the lawyers outnumbered the churchmen, but that Hobart was not a theological college. He spoke of its present overcrowded condition, over 50 per cent of its students not being able to secure room in the dormitories. Give Hobart more en¬ dowment, said the speaker, and her number of students would be doubled. Kenjon College. Kenyon College was the subject upon which Rev. Dr. Jones spoke. It was not a diocesan institution, he said, but on its board sat representatives of several dio¬ ceses. It had reached an exalted place, and this was due to the self-sacrificing devotion of Bishop Philander Chase in the early part of the century, the founder, who established Kenyon in the wilderness, and to those who have followed him and endeavored to carry out and continue his work. Dr. Jones said Kenyon now had ninety students, and would increase this number to over a hun¬ dred soon. He described its t igh standing in the contest for intercollegiate supremacy where the judges were all representatives of eastern institutions, such as Yale, Princeton, Columbia, etc., and quoted sta¬ tistics showing a remarkably high degree of excellence on the part of Kenyon's col¬ legians. On behalf of the college, which he said was founded in faith and nurtured by the prayers of the faithful, he urged the constituency of the church to recog¬ nize the demand of church colleges for proper support. These colleges were either great powers for good or were not. If the first, they should be helped, if the latter, they should be done away with. In con¬ clusion Dr. Jones said he could not refrain here in Washington from mentioning the names of some of Kenyon's alumni who had been so prominent in the capital's pub¬ lic life, and he recalled those of Ruther¬ ford B. Hiyes, Edwin M. Stanton, Henry Winter Davis, David Davis and Stanley Matthews. Ui»h«p Dudley s AdilresM. What will proVntWy prove to be the mo=t memorable Jnciderft, .of the convention was the address of Bisbuy Dudley of Kentucky, chancellor of theiJ'niversity of the South at Sewanee, Tenn.. who took that institu¬ tion for his subject: Impressive and earnest, he held ail spellbound with admiration and approval. He declared he did not consider the subject of tha church school because it was a church school, but because it was a school. He would place the emphasis on the school and not on the church. At Se¬ wanee the object was to make men. Chris¬ tian men. The conception of the I'niversity of the South was .that of Leonldas Polk in 1S50. The amount of Jl,OOO.OOll was finally raised and plans were projected when the war came on, and in the desolation that came upon the south the university shared. When peace was restored the great yuln- tard determined that the university should not die. "What did Rishop Quintard do?" ex¬ claimed Bishop Dudley. "He went up on that mountain height with half a dozen de¬ voted ones and planted a wooden cross and recltcd the Nlcene creed. Then with one teacher and four pupils in a small cabin he began the work and announced that the University of the South was open, and thus saved the title to 10,000 acres of land that was about to lapse." Reciting the early struggles of the insti¬ tution, Bishop Dudley stated that it was not a diocesan one. Tnere were seventeen dioceses interested in it. The TrniiHltlon Period. "We ore not bothered about the pro¬ posed canon on provinces," he said, "I tell you, for we've got one. It has grown from community interest, from a common purpose, and that is the way they all will ccme." Sreaking of the university buildings, he said: "Brick and mortar cannot make a uni¬ versity. It tekes men! And that's what we've got at Sewanee." Passing over the transition period, he spoke of the present condition of the uni¬ versity. It now had 427 students and officers and teachers. The work it was doing was equal to that being done anywhere in the country. All they had in the way of en¬ dowments, he said, were the men that are there. He paid high encomiums to Du Bose. White, Trent, Wells, Wiggins and the other intellectual giants at Sewanee, whose con¬ tributions to literature are so generally regarded as standard, and quoted Richard Garnett of the British Museum, who said the only purely literary review published in the United States was published at Suwanee. In conclusion he said the object at Suwa¬ nee was not only to make men able to read Latin and Greek and understand differen¬ tial calculus, but to make them men, Chris¬ tian men, full panoplied with the knowledge that fear of the Lord is the beginnnlg of all wisdom. For a Xnlional Inlvernity. Bishop Dudley was followed by the elo¬ quent Rev. Dr. David H. Greer of New York, who mt.de a striking appeal for the establishment by the church of a great na¬ tional university. Education, he said, needed something more than mental train¬ ing and mental culture to make men pure and keep them so. It needed that culture and training should be inspired by the spirit of Jesus Christ. After some other ren.arks were made the resolutions were adopted and the house of deputies resumed its session. Dr. Molviin'o Resolution I'aKxed. Dr. McKim's resolution, presented early in the morning. Was^passed, and only re¬ cess arriving prevented a lively debate, as the representatives from missionary dis¬ tricts are he&rtiljj opposed to seeing their rights to vcte in conventions, which they retarded as assufjed, snatched away lrorn them at the test pnoipent. Conntitution ilteYiiion Complete. At the alternobti session yesterday the house of deputies confirmed the action of the bishops in selecting bishops for mis¬ sionary districts . us follows: For Boiss, Rev. James B. Funston; for Sacramento, Rev. William H. Moreland; for North Da¬ kota, Rev. SamueJ Cf Edsall. The work of revising the constitution was completed dvrlr.g the afternoon by the adoption of article IX, relating to courts fcr the trial ot ecclesiastical offenses. The deputies disposed of the question of marriage and divorce for this convention by adopting a resolution offered by Mr. Francis Lynde Stetson of New York, cre¬ ating a spe.-ial committee of thirteen 'mem¬ bers, to which is referred the entire sub¬ ject, with ii.structions to report prior to the next ger.eral convention. Note* of Interest. If the unconsecrated buildings in which the general conventions are to hold their triennial session hereafter are kept as un¬ comfortable as the Epiphany Church has been during these damp and chilly dayn a good many deputies will doubtless express themselves emphatically.out loud. Owing to the action of the bishops :ho committee on the hymnal will continue Its work until 1901. The Rev. Dr. Thomas W. MacLean, d< an or Saginaw Valley. Mich., will preach In BEST OF ALL DOCTORS! Good Health of Countless Americans Due to Paine's Celery Compo^""1, Countless homes in every city in America have j been save<1 from the sad loss of airne despairing member by Paine's celery compound. The story of lhe life-work of the discoverer of this world-famed remedy is familiar to most read¬ ers. The likeness of Dartmouth's greatest pro¬ fessor, Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M I>., I.I.I' given alKjve, is the best portrait of him yet printed. "Excepting its handful of magnificent statesmen and its military heroes," says the most recent writer upon and critic of America, "the people owe more to Dartmouth's physician-teacher than to any other one man. "In every wa'.k of life, among the highest office holders at the national capital, in the homes of tin test people in the large cities, umong the every day fulks of the country, families in com¬ fortable circumstances, families that 'live from hand to mouth.' and could not, if they wished, af- ford the services of any but an ordinary physician everywhere I have met people to whom Paine's celery compound has been a blessing." It was the world-famed discovery by prof. Phelps of an infallible cure for those fearful ills that result from an impaired nervous system and impure blood which has endeared the great din-tor to the world, and made his life an era In the prac¬ tice of mediene. Prof. Phelps was born In Connecticut and grad¬ uated in medicine at Vale. Grace Church, 32d street below M. at 11 a.m. service torrtorrow, an<1 the Right Rev. J. H.

Ruth, the contractor who was alleged to have left the city with money which had been given him to pay the men employed by his firm, returned to¬ day and says that he went to Baltimore to arrange some financial matters and came back at once to refute the charges against j him. Ruth was in partnership with Mr. J. Howard Evans of this city, and the firm had been connected with the construction of innumerable houses during the past few years. According to statements made. Mr. Ruth Thursday last secured a sum of money in the firm's name to be used in pay¬ ing off the laborers and mechanics employ¬ ed under one of their contracts. Ruth was intrusted to put the proper amount of money in the different envelopes, and these when opened were found to contain much less than was due the men. The investigation that followed is said to have disclosed the fact that Ruth had left the city with the balance of the money. The exact amount alieged_ to have been taken away by him was $."<17.75.

The democrats are greatly delighted over Senator Hill's speech last night in Brook¬ lyn. In this speech was made the first satisfactory presentation of the war ques¬ tion by any prominent democrat in this campaign. The democrats have been afraid to dwell upon the war lest they should make an issue which would be In¬ jurious to themselves. There has been a great deal of confusion of counsel in the party as to the attitude to be assumed to¬ ward the administration with relation to the condnct of the war. and they have also been afraid to anticipate an issue with re¬ lation to the question of expansion, or so- called imperialism. Consequently they have been put in the position of practically ignor¬ ing the war, and this has seemed artificial and unnatural. The speech of Mr. Hill is hailed as the democratic keynote on the war question, and democrats speak of It as a most effective response to the claim, ex¬ pressed or implied, by the republicans In the campaign that the credit of the war should be given to that party and that the victory would be tarnished should the democrats be successful in the elections this fall. The democrats have wanted to say to the country that the democratic party was the original Cuban sympathizer, that the republican administration was forced reluctantly into the war for liberty ami humanity and that for the actual glory of the war the democrats were as much en¬ titled to credit as any one else. They have appeared, however, to experience great difficulty in getting this view of the ques¬ tion satisfactorily presented until now, and it Is probable lhat Mr. Hill's speech will be repeated by democrats all over the country during the rest of the campaign. The Kipansinn Itlen. One thing in this speech, however, which is rather startling to some democrats. Is where he refers to the American fiag calm¬ ly floating over the newly acquired Ameri¬ can territory, "never, as it is fondly hoped, to be lowered again." It is a little uncertain whether Mr. Hill has in mind all the outlying territory un¬ der dispute, or whether he confines his fond hope to i*orto Kico alone: but the ex¬ pression savors of a broad, expansive i>ol- lcy, which a good many democrats con¬ template with ill-favor. Liu* Mr. Hill's speech will probably be regarded as the complete presentation of th? democratic case with respect to the war as an issue in this campaign, and all that he has said on the subject will go together with very little possibility of any one venturing to take issue with him on this particular point, running the risk of provoking a gen¬ eral discussion of the expansion question, which there is a genen! desire should be kept out of tliis campaign. Shifting the Line of Buttle. Another phase of the Hill speech Is 'hat It is likely to give to the ex-senator a re¬ newed prominence in the democratic party quite inconsistent with his position in that party heretofore since the adoption of the Chicago platform. The speech Is de*:gned to so shift ground as to make the line of battle one of party against party gener¬ ally, Instead of confining the struggle to the one issue which the Chicago platform- ists have constantly in mind. It Is re¬ garded as evident that Mr. Hill Is making a bold stroke to regain his protntnence In the party, and that he is likely to accom¬ plish a good deal in this way by reason of his superior force and his ability and dar¬ ing In dealing with a difficult question in which the party sympathizes with him, but haa not had the skill to present.
