The Philadelphia Conference was or
ganized in 1926, in the old Union Church
on Fourth street, Philadelphia. Its Ter
ritory embraced New ersey, Delaware,
Eastern Maryland and Virginia, and a
portion of Pennsylvania. 1t was subdi-

with 20 districts, 7l3 pastoral charges,
7l5 travelling ministers, 748 locals, 1927
churches, and 14O,621 members.
The Bishop also related many personal
"reminiscences of the Conference sessions
and of the old members, and closed with
touching illusions to the few ministers,
who, with him, are surviving members
of the Conference of 1876. These are
Rev Mathew Sorin, Anthony Atwood,
James ii Dandy, Thos B Sergeant,
Pharaoh Ogden and Bartholomew Weed.
He also touchingly alluded to the class Of
1926, OF whom but himself and James
Dandy are survivors.
At this portion of the sermon the
Bishop was greatly affected, and for a
short time was unable to proceed. When
he resumed and spoke as from the banks
OF the dark river, exhorting them to re-
newed and strengthened faith in the
Lord, there were few dry eyes in the
church.

CHARGES OF IMMENSE MINING
FRAUDs.-A suit has been brought
in the Supreme Court of New York
by the Union Consolidated Mining
Company of Tennessee against Julius
E. Raht, its former superintendent,
charging him with defrauding the
company in the course of ten years
out of $1,275. 900, and charging his
brother, Charles Raht, the former Sec
retary, and John Thomas, who was
president until last November, with
conniving at and aiding in the frauds
of the first aamed defendant. The
method Of the alleged frauds asserted
to have been through what is known
in England and to some extent in this
country as "the company system" by
which claims are paid from the com.
pany's store in merchandise instead of
cash.

Unlimited Remedial Resources.

People sometimes suppose that DR..
Peirce's Family Medicines represent the
entire extent of his resources for curing
disease. This is an error. Experience
proved that while the Golden Medical
Discovery, Favorite Prescription, Pleas
ant Purgative Pellets Compound Extract
of Smart-Weed, and DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, would, if faithfully used, cure a
large variety of chronic complaints, there
would be here and there a case which
from its severity. or from its complica-
tion with other disorders. would resist
their action. These exceptional cases re-
qulred a thorough examination into their
symptoms, to ascertain the exact nature
and extent OF the disease OR diseases un-
der which the patient was laboring, and
the use of specific remedies to meet and
overcome the same. This led to the estab-
lishment of the Worlds Dispensary, at
Buffalo, N. Y. with its Faculty of Physi-
clans and Surgeons each of whom is
skilled in the trertment of chronic dis
orders in general and those belonging to
his own special department IN particular.
10 one is assigned diseases of the throat
and lungs: to'arother, diseases Of the kid
neys and urogential organs; to another
diseases of digestive system, to another,
diseases ofthe nervous system; and to
another, diseases of the eye and ear. Thus
the highest degree of perfection in medi-
dine and surgery is ATTAINED. The estab-
lishment of this institution enables the
| Doctor to meet long-felt want in the
treatment of Of the more severe chronic
affections. By careful consideration of
of the symptoms as given in writing, he
! successfully treats thousands of cases at
their homes. Others visit the Dispensary
in person. The amplest resources for the
treatment of lingering affections are thus
placed at the disposal of every patient
and those on whom the proprietary
medicines do not have the desired effect
can procure q more thorough and eff
cient cnurse by personal application
to the proprietor Of the Worlds Dispen
sary.

Losses by Fire Works and Fire
Crackers.

The Committee on Statistics Of the National
Board Of Fire Underwriters has issued an inter-
esting report on the losses by fire occasoned by
the use of fireworks and fire crackers. They
state that the losses on the last Fourth of July
were less in number than in any previous year in
their remembrance. This was occasioned, first by
a widespread feeling Of alarm and apprehension
Of serious conhagrations on the Centennial Fourth
Of July, which led to unusually stringent precau-
tons; aud second, to the fact that the West was
protected by rain. on that day. And yet the loss
by fire attributable TO these sources was Slji,31l,
which the Committee thinks was pretty severe
tax upon insurance capital for the qualification OF
private patriotism. The Committee do not wish
to prohibit entirely the manufacture and sale of
fireworks, bat they do contend that in view of the
danger attendant upon their reckless handling and
discharge. the sale and use Of all fireworks should
he surrounded by most stringent municipal regu-
laon. They hold that fireworks should be
manufactured which, at the time of their dis
charge, cannot be regulated as to their direction !;
serpents, squibs chssers, SO called. which, when
discharged, are completely beyond control, are
dangerous, and the manufacture of them should
be prohibited. They also hold that no article Of
pyrotechnics should be manufactured which, after
the immediate effect desired to be produced has
been secured, leave burning debris. The paper
of which rockets and other similar fireworks are
manufactured should be made incombustible
They have consulted leading manufacturers of
fireworks, and they willing to cooperate in
limiting the dangers Of their products.
The Committee is particularly and justly severe
on the Chinese fire crackers, which they describe
"in appearance hCathenish, the noise of their
discharge is destructive of all rational methods of
celebration their serious effects after their eXplo-
sion are beyond calculation" They say that the
invoice value of all "fre crackers imported since
January /, 1886, is less than 81 800 900, and the
loss by two contagrations in that period traceable
directly to them, amounts to upward of Sl5, 0O0,-
600, and we find that on one day only of the pres
ent year the loss occasioned by these ncendiaries
amounted to twenty five per cent. of the total in
voice value of all imported in 1875. 1t is not
extravagant statement that every dollars worth of
FIRE crackers imported into this country has occa-
stoned a direct loss by fire of more than one hun
dred dollars" Under this showing it is evident
that Young America ought to be willing to give
up his fire crackers.
The report shows that of III cities and large
towns heard from 40i have ordinances against fire.
works aud fire crackers and 277 are without such
ordinances. The committee recommend that the
local boards in cities and towns without such ord-
nances be instructed to exert their influence for
the passage of the same.

From the New York Times.
The Next House.

Our latest dispatches leave the cou-
plexion of the House. of Representatives
147 democrats to 1i3 republicans. with
three seats vacant. The only elements Of
uncertainty in this enumeration are the
following: In Florida we claim two re-
publicans; in Louisiana we concede two
seats 10 the demot rats and claim one re-
publican; there are two seats returned as
democratic which will be contested by re-
publieans, and Que republican seated
whose election will be contested by a
democrat. There is strong probability
that when the returns are complete, the
assumed democratic majority Of four will
be wiped out, and the complexion of the
next House will depend on the result of
the New Hampshire election in March.
In any case the democratic majority in the
present House has been pretty thoroughly
disposed of, result TO which Mr.. Proctor
Knott and his brother Confederates have
powerfully contributed.
