He was born at Blngaman , Vu. , January 1 ,
IMS. Ills father and mother were member *
of the Presbyterian church at Clarksburg.
His father , Ellshii Shinn , died when Quillun ,
us the boy was called , was. three years old.
His mother married again and lived to see
her first set of children grow up to manhood
and womanhood. Her second husband , Dr.
J. II. Fortney , was u Unlversalist not by
education hut by nature , and she became a
happy believer in the great faith before her
death , in l tl'J.
Quillan worked on the homo farm until ho
was nearly fifteen , when ho started oat into
tlio world. Ho did whatever his hands found
to do , farming ut fT > per month and splitting
rails at N ) cents per day , until the war broke
out In isiil. Then , being an ardent utilon-
st , ho was seized with the desire to
enlist In the union army. Ho was only six
teen yours old and was so small tlmt th'e en
listing onircrs would not tiiko him. But ho
went on scouting expeditions , stood picket ,
guarding his home , and lived with the soldiers
until he was sworn into the Tbjrd Virginia
regiment as a memberof the regimental band.
In this ho served from September , 1801 , to
March , 18IW , when the band was discharged.
In August , isii' . ' , ho was mustered Into the
Twelfth Virginia infantry us n private and
he served till after the war. Ho was dis
charged at Richmond two months after Lee's
surrender. Ho saw a good deal of guerrilla
warfare- near his home. Ills regiment ex
perienced hard service from the beginning to
the end , having started on a long mid over
the Allcghunics before it ever had a drill with
muskets. He served under Hunter , Melrov ,
Crook , Sheridan and other noUil generals. lie
was a prisoner in Hello Island and was
wounded at Winchester. Ho was present
and witnessed Leo's surrender , his regiment
licing in the division of the Twenty-fourth
corns which , with the Fifth corps , marched all
night on tlio night on tlio Sth , and were In
front ot the confederate army at Apponmttox

After attending various educational Institu
tions in West Virginia , ho Ilnully went to
Mount Union college , Ohio , and from there to

Ingican department of thai Uulversullst insti

Portland. Here he also had clmi'KO of two
societies , and built n line church for his second
end parish , located at St-ccarappa. While
here lie started the annual grove meeting at
Sebago lake , and this he will have charge of
this year also.
A year ago last October Mr. Shiiiti , as
it will ho remembered visited Omaha and
gathered a few people of his faith and held a
meeting in Boyd's opera house. The ladies'
social workers association was organized and
has kept up its meetings ever since.
Last May Mr. Sliinn was urged to iro.to
llntland , Vt. , and finish a line marble church
edltlce that had been begun but had stopped
for wantof funds , the pastor having resigned.
A large sum of money h.id to be raised. Mr.
Shinn accepted tlio responsibility and at the
end of nine months the work was completed
ami the church dedicated ; after which he
was ready to respond to the invitation ex-
tcjided by the Universnlists of Omaha last
summer. He arrived hero with his family
the 14th of February , and is now living at - - ' ( )
South Thirty-ninth street near Furnam. His
church holds its meetings in Goodrich
hulX north Twenty-fourth street. It is
ulrendv well organized , with Sunday school
and all the machinery necessary for the ac
complishment of good works.
A new church is. to bo erected this summer
hi ICouutzo place , corner of Nineteenth ami
Lathrop streets. An excellent building coin-
mi ttee is now ut work , and will soon let tlio con
tract. Meanwhile Mr. Shinn is finding new
people of his denomination continually , and
under kls leadership they ura soon to become
great workers and go blniight to success
The monov donated for this church was raised
at liis Weii-s' last
meeting August , qver
Sl.lilM ) being subscribed then. Tlio Univer-
salist general convention is backing tlio
movement.
Mr. Sliinn Is a zealous ( Irand Army of the

chief of the national encampment. He is
now a member of U S. Grant post of
this city , and has Iteeu engaged to give the
Memorial day-address , AJay ! H ) , for the posts
at Kearney.
Mr. Sliina hates intemperance , rum and

sequently wherever ho goes his voice is heard
In behalf of this great reform. As soon as he
came homo from the army lie joined the
( .irand Templars and has worked in the order
over since. Ho belonged to seven grand
lodges and Is now a member of Lifeboat lodge

This is the overture on which the 811 pres
byteries of the church are now taking action.
' 1 he public fihould understand that ihe Pres
byterian creed Is not undergoing revision , but
the general assembly has simplv asked the
presbyteries If they want revision' , mid if so
to Indicate the particulars and extent of the
revision liasired.
The answers of the presbyteries will be for
warded to the state clerk of the general as
sembly , who will report the same to the as-
Keinbly , which U to convene at Saratoga , N.

1801. If this is a final report , it will then bo
transmitted to the presbyteries for their
action. Tlio presbyteries 'will then report
their approval or disapproval to the assembly
which will meet in May , IS'j-i. ' If two-thirds
of the presbyteries approve of the proposed
changes in the confession , then tlio assembly
of IS'Jii ' will declare them duly incorporated in
the confession of faith.
Meanwhile , of course , very earnest and
widespread discussion will be in progress.
Everv point covered by the proposed revision
will bo thoroughly scrutinized. What the
effect upon this controversy upon the unity
of the Proshvteiian churcli will be , remains
to be seen. ' 1'wo Protestant churches have
divided upon the subject of creed revision ,
\\t \ : the Lutheran church and the church of
the United Brethren in Christ. The last
named church is now involved hi litigation
over churcli property growing out of the re
vision of its creed.
Among the presbyteries that have voted on
the revision of tlio confession of faith are the
following :
The presbyteries of Selniyler , Aberdeen ,
Huron. Knox. Arizona , East Oregon , Flint ,
Lamed , East Florida , Fargo , Iowa , Higlilaml ,
Marlon. Detroit , West Virginia , Nebraska
City , Kearney and Denver have voted in
favor of revision.
The prosbvteries of Monmoiith , Newton ,
Carlisle , Springllold , Cherokee Nation , Fair-
Held , Kingston , Kcd KiveriMitiu. ) , Washing
ton , Oinuhn , and Wellsborough have voted
against revision.
H is difficult to give the exact vote in the
presbyteries on the question of revision at
the present time , but as far as wo can ascer
tain , the vote in favor of revision is now ft'J. '
The vote against revision is now It4.
This represents about one-third of the num
ber of presbyteries in the country.
An International Convention.
The ninth international convention of tno
Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor
will meet in St. Louis Juno 13 , 111 , 14 and
15 , mid extensive arrangements uro l > cing
made by the committee in charge at that place
for thu event.
The convention is to bo held In the St. Louis
exposition hull , the llncst building of Its kind
in tlio country.
Already arrangements are being made for
excursion trains of Christian Endeavor people
ple from Canada , Now Brunswick , Nova
Scotia , all the Now England and middle
states and u number of southern and western
states.
Hon. D. K. Francis , governor of the statoof
Missouri , will deliver tlio address of welcome
on behalf of the southwest.
The redemption committee will have its
members at tlio train to Rivet incoming dele
gates , and will provide them with u circular
which will contain a map of tlio city and nil
necessary information that will bo of use to
strangers who may desire to know the best
wuv to get around.
A new feature which the committee will
introduce is that of giving to each society of
the St. Louis Christian Endeavor union the
delegates of a certain stuto to look
after. For instance , the society that will
take charge of the Minnesota delegation
will wear besides the St. Louts local union ,
badge , one having Minnesota printed on it.
Delegates from that state will lw privileged
to accost any one wuiriiig such a badge ,
claim such a 01111 as a friend and advise with
him without the formality of an introduction.
It will t > o the duty also of each member of
that society to look after , as far as possible ,
the Minnesota delegation , and they will feel
five to speak to any one wearing u budge of
that state.

been employed , but the bosses huve Drained
but momentarily by this us these erstwhile
"scabs" have rapidly been won to the c.ui.so
of the unions and most of them have joined

the sympathies of the citizens' nrhltration

and with those agencies against them the
master builders have an undesirable light
upon their hands.

mittec , so far , has cuecompli.shed practically

But tlio city by the big lulco 1ms another
strike on huiul In addition to that < > C Uio car
penters. A small body of gas employes
walked out during the past week and ex
press themselves as being determined to down
tlio trust or starve to deatli la thu atteiapt.
The strikers have beea assiduously at work
during tlio week endeavoring to jiersuiido all
g.ts workers iu tlio city to join their ranksbut
with imlilTerent success , many of the men as
serting that , they could see nothing Intt un
profitable Idleness without subsequent bone-
lit , in such a course , while Urn olljcials of tlio
various companies assert their ability to fur
nish the usual quantity of gnu to tlio eity.evoa
if tlio men should strike.
These are strikes Unit arc , anil there Is an
other threatened. The hundreds of employes in
tlio packing houses are dissatisfied and a gen
eral walkout on May 1 would not liu a surprise -
priso to those \rholiuro watched the sitnutlc n
closolv. The men assert that the bosses
have iiot lived up to all the articles of the
agreement entered Into after the great strike
of 1SSS , So dissatisfied have they become that
tlioy huve asked for arotnrnof the percentage
of their wages withheld by their employers
as a gnar.mtce against the men quitting with
out notice , and this is practically a notice that
a .strike ) Is contemplated If certain demands
they intend to make am not complied with.
Such is the unsatisfactory condition of af
fairs in Chicago , and tlio restlessness among
the workingmen them seemingly is effecting
their fellows throughout tlie west.
In Omiilia.
So far this spring there has been no open
eruption between employers anil employes in
Omaha , and outside the building trades , so
far as can bo nscci tallied , no trouble Is antici
pated ,
Building Is extensively contemplated in
Onmha this year , the architects say , and , con
sequently the eyes of business men of the
city are turned anxiously towards the unions
representative of the building trades.
There Is no disguising the fact that many
of the men ure dissatisfied with the existing
state of affairs. The hod-curriers nro holdIng -
Ing frequent meetings , but so close-mouthed
nro they concerning their affairs that hut little -
tlo can be ascertained concerning their
trouble , although it Is definitely uii'lcrstixi'l
that tlioy have a grii'vniico of HUMID etmrurter
or other. The bricklayers claim to be. sutinllcd ,
but If the hod-currlcrs should .strike they
would of necessity become involved in the
matterIf the latter Intend striking ut all
they will probably do no about May 1 , and if
the out'iienters intend demanding eight
hours , which they have been so .strongly ad
vocating during the winter months at their
union meetings , they will probably do HO at
the same time. The carpenters are much
better prepared to enter Into an Issue of this
kind now than they wem last swing , when
two very .strong contending factions existed
among them , leading to several members
withdrawing from the original union anil or
ganizing another. These differences , at least
the men so assert , have been healed and the
light of one will become the light of all.
The plumbers do not contemplate taking
issue with their employers this spring ,
the strike of last year was nn unprolltnlile one
to them , although' It served to remove u num
ber of disturbing elements from thulr midst ,
i.inoitoTKN. .
The various carpenter unions will hold nn
open meeting at ( into City hull Tuesday eve
ning and the eight hour question will no ills-
cus icd.
The procceeds of the ball given Tuesday
