VOICES OPINION ROYAL SHOAL LIGHT ' . Authority Asked to Change the Location Senator Simmons After . Rural Delivery , Washington, Dee. 14. Special. Secre tary Gage, in ' a letter to- the speaker of the House, says he has the honor to state, at the instance of ithe light house -board, - that an appi-opriatibn of $30,000 was made by the act" approved March 3, 1001, for rebuilding a light house upon the Northwest point of Royal Shoal, North Carolina, and that "it has gince been made evident to the board that this light would be more useful if established upon Bluff Shoal, which would be a much better site tHan at the northwest point -f Royal Shoal; as all courses either up or down Pamlico Sound are changed, at this poiii't, and, as in the estimation, of local-.light-house officers, to whom the matter had been referred, it would serve as a guide to clear the northwest point of Royal Shoal railca better than if it were established on the horthwest point of that shoal. This department therefore has the honor to recommend at the instance of the light house board that legislative authority be given to expend the $30,000 appro printed for rebuilding the light upon Bluff Shoal for the reasons stated, in stead of building it upon the northwest point of Royal Shoal, as authorized by the act approved March 3, 1901," as above quoted." Senator Simmons visited the Post Of fice Department today and urged the es tablishment more expeditiously of rural free delivery in the State.

The revision committee of the Presbyterian church, which has been in session here for ten days ptist, adjourned 'this afternoon to meet in Philadelphia February 13th. next. Their work was completed in a tentative form, including a shorter creed for use in the churches in connection with the ordination of ministers and eld ers, a declaratory statement in the ver nacular of the day for popular use in forming the public generally of the faffh held by the cluirch, and the new articles to be added to the Westminster confession relating' to the love of God for all men. the work of the Holy Spirit and missions. The shorter creed makes no change in the theology of the church, but seeks to make plain the faith neld by the church in regard to those points that have been criticised and attacked. So far as it was possible to do so this statement was made in the language of the Scriptures. When the committee meets in February they will finally pass upon all these subjects for presentation to the general assembly at its session in the May following.

Behind Wilson one length was Benny Munrte, 'the boy Irom Memphis, Tenn. Two lengths behind Munroe was Oscar Babcock of New York, and last of all, five lengths behind Babcock, .was Nat Butler of Boston. That was the way the six day race of 190f ended. Only five teams of the 16 that started last Monday morning fin ished, and it was practically a one mile sprint at the end, because the five teams were tied for first place. It was a- close ending to a glorious race. Many thought that Walthour did not have his speed with him, but they were fooled. He cut out a pace for the last mile that made the other riders weaken. Wilson and Munroe were the only real rivals he had. The final sprint showed that neither Babcock nor Butler was quite as strong as the others. The one mile sprint began with Nat Butler leading and the other four close in, grouped about hini. For half a mile they all rode a t about a 2.30 clip. Then Walthour broke out hi3 sprint. . He took the lead for the sixth lap, let. Wil son have it for the seventh, then went to the front again, and after that never was headed. Cose Made Out Against Attorney Washington, Dec. 14.
