Higher Criticism Discnssed by the Synod of Hamilton and London—Work of Young People— Means of Securing Support—Next Meeing at Chatham. Brantford despatch: The higher criti- dsm was a lite issue at the Synod of Hamiltcn ani London in this city to- night. It was expected the session would elose this evening, bixt owing to the pro- . ilonged 'discussion, adjournment was made at a late hour until to -morrow, when the conference will be closed. A spirited debate arose over the recom- mendation of the Sabbath School Com- mittee, beaded by Rev. Mr. Horne, of iwatford, :urging that teachers present , Scriptural knowledge in relation with .modern scholarship and present-day thought. At once some of the veterans in the ministry, Rev. Dr. McMullen, of Woodstock, among them, attacked the clause, on the grounds that "modern ,scholarship" was indefinite, and that • Sabbath schools were not suitable bat - tie grounds of modern thought. The de- bate waxed warns, and the recommenla- tion was finally defeated. Apart from this, the Synod, under the guidance of the new Moderator, Rev. Mr. • Ross, Port Dalhousie, got through some important business. Lesson Helps were ; denounced, and referred to as "Satin in disguise." and having a tendency to sop- ; ersede the Bible. Young people's work was encouraged. Plans were discussed to revive Sunday school work. The aug- mentation of church effort was heartily endorsed, and topics of live interest were discused. It .was decided to meet next year in Chatham. The first matter taken up this morn- ing was presented in the report of tre Augmentation Committee, read by Rev. A. Ilenderson. Following the report was a general discussion on the best means to adopt •In securing support for the cense. ' The following students were lieensed: R. 13. Cochrane, D. H. Marshall and Wal- ter L. Nicol. One of the important questions of the ,afternoon session was the young peo- • ple's problem. The Committee on ; Young People's Societies reported recom- ,mending encouragement of the soeiet.ies ;in various lines of Christian activity as , a means of enlisting the young people in the work. Following this the cynnd went into a conference on set topics, including ,"Creed," and "Evangelism and the Min- 'istry," .The question of creed was intro- duced by Rev. R., Atkinson, of Chesley, 11e outlined the minimum creed as that Amen in the life of Christ, and ad - :vatted the theory that the. personal ex- lgierdence of each one in relation to Christ ;tens the foundation on which to base be - An interesting discussion followed. Rev- C. Fletcher contended that the life of Christ, as shown in the records, was the foundation on which to base be- lief, rather than personal experience. He also expressed no belief in the idea of a "minimum creed." The second topic, "Evangelism and the Ministry," was opened by Rev. Henry Dickie. All favored an advance in evan- gelism. Rev. Dr, R. P. Mackay, of Toronto. de- livered an address on mission work, deal- ing particularly with the Chinese field, which he considerer) the most important of all the six fields. All the evening was devoted to con- sideration of Sunday school work. The report of the committee showed a mark- ed decrease in the number of pupils at- tending the schools in the Synod. The enrollment w• as 4.000 less than seven years ago. The report cited. no cause, but strongly condemner) the prevalent practice of using indiscriminate Iesson helps in Sabbath schools. An able address was delivered, by Rev. J. C. Robinson. Toronto, 'General Secre- tary of Sabbath school work. A spirited discussion arose over ger- twin recommendations of the Sabbath School Committee in regard to teaching. These suggested that doctrinal and Scriptural knowledi;e be presented in relation with modern scholarship, and present clay thought and life: A teacher training course was favored, and $500 will be asked for from the Assembly for a summer, school in the Synod in 1907. INSURANCE DEALS. MANUFACTURERS' LiFE PUT MONEY IN SPECULATIVE SHARES. Now in Bank Securities—Bonus Stocks Were Not Put Into Government Re- port—Some Stocks Dealt In. Toronto despatch: The intricacies of stock speculation carried on by the Fin- ance Committee of the Manufacturers' Life Insurance Company with the mon- ey of the policyholders, and the financ- ing of the early days of an insurance company, were brought out with great wealth of detail before the Insurance Commission yesterday. The record of the Manufacturers' Life was still the subject of enquiry, and its ventures in- to the stock market were particularly under review. It was shown that during the fever of speculation in 1902 the com- pany invested in Dominion Steed, Dom- inion Coal and Crony's Nest Pass Coal, and that after that experience the di- rectors cane back to bank stooks, which during the last year they found exceed- ingly profitable as well as safe. The company takes the position that all in- vestments —even British consols—are speeulative, and that the directors were quite within the law in going into Twin, City, Dominion Coal and Steel, and sim- ilar stocks.

Detroit despatch: Daniel O'Keefe, Pre- sident of the 'Longshoremen's Marine & Transport Workers' :.Association, colder whose orders: twenty thousand men have abandoned work, has not as yet broken a aplynx-like silence. It was through President Livingstone, of the Lake Corriere, that the first news was obtained that.President Keefe had order- ed the'Longshoremen to strike, - Despatehes from Lake }Michigan and • Lake Erie ports indicate that there has been an almost unanimous response am- ong the local unions to the strike order.

Buffalo despateh: The strike of the 'Longshoremen put an effective embargo on Lake Erie commerce yesterday. and to -day it is expected traffic will stop at all upper lake ports. _111 unions affiliated with the 'long- shoremen either quit or made prepara- tions to quit work. There are about 2:y- 000 men idle -a.nd that number will Le vastly increased when industries depend- ent upon lake commerce for supplies are compelled to cease operations. The strike being primarily in aid of the lake pilots, the returns of the fitst day were expected to show the number of pilots affiliated with the 'longshore- men. But that important point is still clouded. Vessel owners claim not ten per cent. are in the labor union. 'Long- shoremen claim 90 per cent. are. BIG CHICAGO STRIKE. BUILDING TRADE PARALYZED BY STRUCTURAL IRONWORKERS. Chicago, May 7. --,Just as the wreckers started the demolition of old structures yesterday to make room for $6,000,000 of new buildings in the loop district, a strike was called, evhich promises to tie up the building industry of Chicago. One thousand structural ironworkers will drop work' to -day, and their idle- ness will precipitate the first important labor disturbance in the building trade since the 1900 lock -out. The strike promises to stop nearly all construction work of a large character. It was agreed upon by vote last night. Arbitration offers, made at the last mo- ment, failed to avert it. The .ironwork- ers insist on a, wage of $5 a day+ for eight hours' work. The contractors' offer of $4.60 for four months and $4.80 for the rest of the coming year was rejected. The strike will throw out of work sev- eral thousand other building workmen, such as carpenters, bricklayers, hod car- riers and stone cutters. - AS IT IS IN NEW YORK. Five Hundred Hotels in Gotham Become Ordinary Saloons. New York, May 7.—It was estimated to -day that 500 so-called Raines law ho- tels fist this city went out of the hotel business to -day and became ordinary saloons, without the privilege of rent- ing rooms. This was the result of the new Raines law, under which many pre- tended hotels flourished. Tho new law prescribes that a hotel must have the approval of the New York City Build- ing Department as a bona fide hotel be- fore it shall be allowed ani excise li- cense. There were about 1,300 hotels op- erating under the Baines law, and it is believed that not more than 800 of them will attempt to continue under the restrictions of the new law. The excise department declined to -day to issue licenses except to those hotels which mode application before April 15. In consequence some of the high-class hotels were unable to secure licenses to- day. It was estimated that 250 of the the 12,500 saloons in this city were not opened to -day owing to the restrictions of the new lam Prisoners man's POISONING . CASE. Charged Wtih Putting Wo - Husband :Out of the Way. A Kingston despatch": Wen. O'Connor and Mrs. Henry Allen of Lansdowne are under arrest on a charge of poisoning the latter's husband, a young farmer, who died last December after •a few weeks' illness. It is charged that O'Connor and Mrs. Allen wished to marry and con- spired to get the husband out of the way, Lately the woman changed her mind and from statements made by O'- Connor suspicion was aroused, and the arrest followed. The body of Allen has been exhumed and the stomach sent to Toronto for analytical examination. O'Connor comes from 'a well-to-do family in Escott. Mrs. Allen is from the old country. A MINISTER'S.

P And a Tru& Story of How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and How the "Panic of '73" Caused • (it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores. This - remarkable - woman, whose maiden name was Estes, was born in Lynn, Mass., February, 9th, 1819, com- ing from a good old Quaker family. For some years she taught school, and became known as a woman of an alert and investigating mind, an earnest segker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympathetic nature. In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remedies—calling in a physician only in. specially urgent•cases. By tradition and experience many of them gained a wonderful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their char- acteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bounti- iull), provides in the harvest -fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds ; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies expressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and eitec- tive medicines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combination of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses peculiar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pinkham's friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them. A11 this so far was done freely, without money and without price as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial crisis stuck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much Inc the lar a real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this clubs of business suffered most from fearful de- pression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found theirproperty swept away. Some other &amino of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was mads ?mown to the would. ,the three woe and the daugt zr t with their mother; combined forces to restore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which was so good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world. The i Pinkhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling a gross of bottles. Then carie the question of selling it, for always before they had given it away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medicine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkham sons in Boston, Idea York, and I3rooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self -advertising, for whoever used it re- commended it to others, and the demand gradually increased. In 1877 by combined efforts the family had saved enough money to commence newspaper advertising and from that. time the growth and success of the enter- prise were assured, until to -day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound have becotne household words , every- where, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annually in its manufacture. Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not live to see the great success of this work. She passed to her reward years ago,•but not. till she had provided means for continu- ing her work as effectively as she could. have done it herself. During her long and eventful experi- ence she was ever methodical in' her work and she was always careful to pre- serve a record of every case that came to. her attention. The case of every sick woman who applied to her for advice— and there were thousands --received'. careful study and the details, including symptoms treatment and results were recorded for future reference, and to -day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made since, are available to. sick women the world over, and repre- sent a vast collaboration of information regarding the treatment of woman's ills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled in any library in the - world. With Lydia E, Pinkham worked her daughter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pink - ham. She was carefully instructed in all her hard-won knowledge, and for• years she assisted her in her vast correa• pondence. To her hands naturally fell the direc tion of the work when its originator passed away. For nearly twenty-five years she has continued it, and nothing • In the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of a large family, took it up. With woman asistants, some as capable as her- self, the present Mrs. Pinkham continues this great work, and probably from the office of no other person have so many women been advised how to regain health. Sick women, this advice ice, "Yours for health" freely given if you only write to ask for it. Elueh is the histpry of Lydia E.
