We gave last week the proceedings Of
this religious body down until Thursday.
The convention assembled on Thursday
morning and after prayers reports were
made by several committees among which
were reports by the committees. OF visitors
and examiners OF Diocesan Institutions,
by the registrar Of the convention, by the
committee on new parishes, by the stand
ing committee, by the executive missions
ny committee, and by the treasurer of the
convention. A resolution was passed
recommending the clergy to cooperate
with the agent Of the Bible society IN cir
culating the Holy Scriptures, the subject
having been presented to the convention
by the Rev. j. j. Thompson. The hour
for the election having arrived Mr.. j. w.
Farnsworth was reelected treasurer, the
Rev. ID. w. Coke, registrar; and the fol-
lowing persons were elected members Of
the stancing committee: Rev. Charles
Reynolds, d. D., Rev. A. Beatty, d. ID.
Rev. II. II. Loring, Rev. Paul Zeigler,
Hon. John A. Haldermap, Hon. a. G.
OLis, J. w. Farnsworth, and +. K. Stimp-
| son. Judge Buck was elected, but de-
clined in favor of Judge Otis. There
were also elected a committee Of visitors
and examiners of the college of the Sis
ters OF Bethany.
One of the most important matters
brought before the convention was in re-
gard to lay representation. This subject
| had occupied the attention OF three pre-
Yious conventions, and during that time
was thoroughly discussed, and was final
| I.y lat al 40 fnnvnaIfnRnt nd
sary. The proposed change was very OBJ
jectianabIe to the clergy and lay delegates
| of the smaller parishes. At present each
parish, be 1t large or small, has one vote
in the convention. The proposed canon
would allow one vote for every twenty
five communicates, so that a parish with
one hundred would have four votes, and
would therefore balance four of the small
err parishes, which had each but twenty
five communicates. If this canon should
be passed, 1t would virtually put the leg
islatIon OF the Diocese in the hands of the
parishes at Atchison, Leavenworth, Law
renee and Topeka, and the del egates from
the smaller parishes would be q mere cy-
pher in the convention. There is no
probability that this measure will ever
meet the approval Of a majority of either
the clerical or or lay delegates Of the con-
Vention. And the measure that had also
been previously considered, was again
renewed, that was to permit women to be
members Of vestries. This was not CAR
ried. On Friday morning the committee
on canons reported plan for the Organi-
cation Of missions, and resolutions OF
thanks to the citizens OF Emporia for
their generous hospitality to the members
OF the convention, and also to the railroad
companies for the usual reduction Of fare,
were passed unanimously. 1t was also
voted to hold the next convention at
Manhattan. After the usual devotional
exercises the convention adjourned sine
| die

During the heavy rain storm of Satur-
day afternoon, the first fash OF lightning
was almost simultaneous with the report
of the thunder. That flash came near
making vacant q composItor's sit in THE
NEWS office. Mrs. Il. Romigh, and one of
her little boys, were seated at the time
very near closed window at her house,
and suddenly saw, few feet outside the
window and as many from the ground, q
ball of fire, which instantly exploded,
seeming to fill the air with dazzling
streams of fire In every direction, the
report coming simultaneously with the
explosion. The boy could not see for sew
eral minutes. 1t was about as close q
look at lightning as any one could have
and live to tell about it. The exploson
did not do any injury.

Mrs . NelliI


Some time ago Sup't. Wharton announe-
ed that an exhibit of examination papers
from different schools in the county would
be one of the features of our next county
Fair. Owing to the limited time given
for preparation this exhibit will not be
as large or as perfect as could be wished,
but an examination of few Of the papers
already on file in his Office shows some
very neat and commendabl0 work. Mr..
Wharton informs US that the teachers of
the county have undertaken to assist him
In this matter very emerge ticaily; and
though longer experience in preparing
such work will enable them to secure far
better results, yet the work already sub
mitted speaks well for the condition of
Lyon county schools. The good effects
of the plan are apparent in the increased
interest found IN the schools, and some Of
the teachers testify that no one thing bias
contributed so much to wake up an en-
thusiasm In school work as this. 1t slim
ulates pupils to neatness and more care
full study, because they know their work
must be submitted to public inspection,
1t is a means of Introducing written ex-
cultivating in pupils the power of express
sion. 1t enables teachers to place on rec
ord something of the actual results of their
work, that their patrons may know just
what the schools are doing 1t is alike
an incentive to teacher, parent and pupil,
and IL is hoped that next year and there
after the same plan will be pursued.
Why should we not have ''intellectual
stimulus in the county fairs as well as
agricultural and mechanical? In this
connection we note that State Superin-
tendent Lennon is making an effort to
have PLACID on file in the State capital,
representative work from the leading
schools in the State, prepared in SINH
lar manner to this for the county fair.
Lyon county takes the lead in the State
in this new educational idea.
