troversy over lr. Ilrlggs and the Union
seminary came up In the report of the
judicial committee , which extended to all
presbyteries the order to exclude students
of that seminary from their care. It was
apparent that tew commissioners knew what
they were \oting upon , ns the matter came
up on appeal fiom some unnamed action of

day morning.
The complaint of the members of the Pres
bytery of New York against the synod of
Now York with regard to llcensuro of stu
dents was withdrawn upon the answer of
the Judicial committee that the action of
previous assemblies applied to all presbyte
ries who were thus "enjoined and Instructed"
not to take under their care any students
who are pursuing or purpose to pursue their
studies In seminaries not approved by the
general assembly. The report of the Judicial
committee was adopted without debate.

KEEP THE BUILDING.
The special orders for discussion were two
reports on the Presbyterian building at New
York , and the report of the special com
mittee of conference with the Board of
Homo Missions. Several speeches on the
former subject were made under the flve-
mlnuto limitation , and then the floor was
granted to Ur. Wlthrow , chairman of the
committee , who entered upon an exhaustive
review of the conditions surrounding the
property In/ Now York and the report of the
special committee appointed to Investigate
these matters. The Introduction of sectional
Issues ho deplored , particularly when the
four synods of the east contributed two-
thirds of all the benevolent funds of the
church. Ho urged the adoption of the re
port returned by the majority of the com
mittee.
A motion to lay the minority report and
all substitutes on the table was promptly
carried by an Immense majority. The ques
tion of the adoption of the majority report ,
which does not favor the sales of the build-
lug , was put to a rising vote and only two
coinraisjloners were seen to bo on their feet ,
ono a minister who ducked down too quickly
to bo recognized , and the other an elder , who
was BO dazed by his loneliness that ho ( stood
longer than his nimbler fellow conmilutoiicr.
The final result was celebrated by singing
the doxology.
As A sort of compromise measure- the fol
lowing rule was IntroJoccd and accepted to
KOUTII Iho action of boards :
When nny board re > elves n. legacy , the
no of which Is not Indicated in the will of
the testator , the funds shall either be used
for curient work or Invested In nccord-
nnen with laws provided foi the care of the
trust funds In the state vtlieie the board Is
located. Hut If not " o n l , they shall be
held until the Keiieial assembly upproves of
= 01110 different use of them than that which
the b m i el may propose to make.
ONLY ONR SGCIICTAUY.
At this point John Wftnamaker took the
inolerator's chair and parllimcntary confu
sion began. Dr. Kane , chalimau of the spe
cial commlltpo on home missions , look the
floor on Hi icport and moved the adoption
of the 11 rut resolution , which directed that
the work of the board be committed to one
secretary Instead of two , ns heretofore. The
motion ns put without opportunity for de
bate and declared carried. A motion to
reconsider was lost by A largo vote. The
motion to reconsider was followed by a
moi'lon to rescind and several other votes
\\ero Dually had , but the recommendation fern
n single secretary prevailed.
Iho other recommendation referred to the
making of appropriations for each year ,
which were dliectcd to bo made on the basis
of average tcoelpts for se\erjl years. The
board was directed to avoid debt , and ordered
to pay ( he sainu from the nssct.s of the suc
ceeding year.

WISE ADVICE TO HUSBANDS.
These Who Have Ailing Wives Will do Wall to Accept It.
Do not wrangle nnd quarrel , and finally rush into the courts and try to get m
separation from your faithful wife ; but just stop a moment and thinkl Your
wife , who was oven-tempered and amiable , and all that was lovely when you
' married her , has changed. Now she is poevlsh , irritable , joal-
discontented nnd miserable in a word , she has uterine
disorder of some kind ,
Law is not the rcmcely for this condition , siio needs med
ical treatment , her uterine system is at fault.
My advice to you is , sit down nnd write a
letter to that friend of women , Mrs I'inkliam ,
of Lynn , Mass. , state fully and freely the
whole case to her and she will honestly ad-
kviso you what to do. Give your wife that
chance , goexl man I
If you do not wish to write about your
-wife , bring her a bottle of Lydla K. I'ink-
' ham's Vegetable Compound , uutuh its uf-
feets , you will MHUI see the beginning of
fthc improvement ; then got her another and
keep it up until she is restored to you , the satno
lovely woman you married years ago.
Following1 tte relate the circumstance" * of a
of this nature. Mm. MKI.VA. KOUPON , of
Camby , Ind. , says :
" 1 have used'Lydla 12. I'inkham's Vegetable
Compound and found it to be of great benefit to me. Tlio doctors said 1 had
womb trouble. I had the headache all the time , also a terrible backache ,
was nervous , eioss and irritable. 1 looked so pale that people would ask mo
what was the matter. 1 suffered in this way for about four years , until ono
day about In despair my husband brought mo a bottle of Lydla 13. LMnkham't )
Vegetable Compound. I commenced its use , and much to every one's sur
prise , it cured me. It has completely changed my disposition for the better also.
Several of my neighbors , knowing what the Vinkham mediuinn has done for
uio , are taking it , aud are much pleased with the result. "
