Nashville, May 3.-The most af- |
fecting scene which occurred in the
General Conference Of the Method |
lst Episcopal Church, South to-day, |
was when Bishop Paine, now eigh, |
ty-five years old, arose and deliver |
ed the following address to the
General Conference of the Method.
ist Episcopal Church, South:
DEAR BRETHREN While joining
heartily with my colleagues In the
address you have heard, beg your
indulgence to make a few remarks
of personal character. During
nearly sixty five years | have had
the honor Of being an itlnerant
Methodist preacher and for thirty
six years a bishop. In the General
Conference Of 1924 was a dele
gate, and as bishop or delegate
have attended every session since
then. For the confidence in my
reliability, | wish to now return my
most earnest gratitude. To my
much,respected colleagues in the
episcopacy, between whom and
myself the utmost cordial feelings
have been unvarylng!y maintained,
tender my thanks. They have
generously supplied my lack Of
service by doing double duty, and
now, beloved brethren, worn down
with age and iEfrmlties, | ask to be
permitted to retire from future act.
i've service. Permit me, in con clu-
sion, to congratulate you upon the
auspicious circumstances under
which you have met, and to remind
you of your high responsibility to
God and His church. Should it be
allowed me in making this, PrOba
bly, my last communication to a
General Conference, to express the
results of my experience and obser-
vation as to the doctrines and poll
ty of our beloved Methodism, |
would say, after deVoting a lifetime
to the study Of it,? doctrines, my
conviction as to their spiritualness
has strengthened, and my estima-
tion Of the importance OF maintain
ing the essential features Otlts poll
ty has increased. lido most devout-
ly thank God that in early life ! be-
came a Methodist itinerant preach.
) er and have continued such, but
above all IrejOice in the, religious
experience which Methodism pre-
sents as the privilege of its mem
bers: "The joy unspeakable and
} full of glory" To enjoy this is the
crowning glory of the christian life.
| rejoice in a thorough conN ersion,
consciously attested by the witness

: daily life and Its end, if it can be
r properly said ever to end, in the
} crown of glory that fadeth not

beg calmly and with humble conf

infrmities of this life shall pass
away. There may we meet again.
Long before the venerable bish-
3 op had ceased reading the above
, nearly all the members Of the con-
ference were in tears. When he

No Danger,

BosToN, Sept. 16.-The cable some weeks.
ago made brief mention of trouble on the
island of Madagascar which involved the
safety of American residents. The bark
Taria Topaz from the island is the first to
reach this country with tidings of the true
state of affairs. She reports series of
instructions among the tribes on the
coast against the authority of the queen.
The trouble grew out of the quee1;s pro-
hibition of the export of ebony, rosewood
and other valuable products. The local
tribes persisted in the practice, tempted
by liberal offers of American captains. A
small army was sent to the coast IN June,
and there, were several engasene nts, in
which a few were killed. Fever sstacked
the queens troops and hundreds ef them
died. The safety of American residents
was not involved at the time Of the vessels

Noon Session.

Since the organization Of any political
party in Hennepin county, there never has
been more harmonious nor felicitious
convention held than was that of the Dem
ocrats held in Harmonic hall yesterday.
Everything passed off smoothly and order
ly, and before the delegates themselves
were fully aware of the fact, the whole
ticket had been placed in nomination.
NOT BALLOT CAST.
One conspicuous feature of the conyen-
ton was the fact that the ballot box was
not resorted to in a single instance to
settle any dispu te batween rival candi-
dates, but every nomination was made un-
animous by reclamation.
The convention was called to order at
II O'Clock by acting chairman of the Dem
ocratic county convention, W. w. McNair.
who read the official call.
Col. J. H. Stevens was selected as tenn
porary chairman, who acknowledged the
compliment in a brief address.
G. NJ. Foote was elected temporary sec
retary OF the convention.
Col. M. w. Glenn moved that a com
mittee of five on credentials be appointed
by the chair.
The chairman announced the following
gentlemen as such committee:
COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS:
M. ". Glenn, W. W. McNair, E. Nj. Will
son, VIM. BIaisdell, A. r. Brand.
w. ". McNair took the floor and in a
neat complimentary address moved that
J. S. Johnson be admitted to the convention
as a member at large, with full privileges
stating that Mr.. johnson has always been
actively identified with the party, and q
gentleman who was instrumental
in organizing the first Democratic conven
tion of Hennepin county.
j. W. Lawrence moved that a recess be
had until O'Clock, to give the country
delegates, who had not yet reported bu
who were known to be in the city, an op
portunity of being in attendance during
the entire session. The convention wa:
accordingly adjourned until that hour.

Legislative Nominations.
TwENTY-NINTH DISTRICT.

O-0~A'AOA'
R. 2. Russell was elected chairman OF
the convention, and G. M. Foote was elected
secretary.
The cali was read by the secretary.
The convention proceeded at once to
nominations as follows:
A. t. Ankeny, thought that under the
peculiar circumstances OF the present cam
paign it would be particularly meet that
no nominations for senator should
be made against Mr.. Pillsbury,
He thought that the interests of the coun-
ty ticket. which he was sanguinary in the
belief could be elected, or a numberof the
nominees could be elected, if the campaign
was properly handled, required it. He
thought it was best for the interests of the
congressional ticket, a particular point up
on which should be made in the campaign
and also the interests OF the legislative
ticket hinged greatly upon leaving the
o1Hce of senator vacant upol IL. Dei.I5-
cratic ticket.
Mr.. Callahan moved that the convention
pass by the senatorial nomination and pro-
ceed to the nomination of the legislative
ticket at once, and the motion receiving a
second was passed without further discus
sion.
Mayor Ames placed before the conven-
tion the name of G. II. Foote, gentleman
whom under the present principles of the
platform of the Democratic party, could
be elected by round majority. The nom
ination was received with applause.
Mr.. Conkey took especial pride in sec
onding the nomination. He had known
the gentleman since his residence in the
city, and knew him to be competent in
every sense, thorough Democrat, and
gentleman of integrity.
Mr.. Il. P. Dunington had also known the
gentleman most intimately since his abode
in Minneapolis, He knew him to be an
honest, capable, upright man, and true

within the past week. Indeed, the smaller
class of operators offered round lots
with great freedom. 1t may be that some
difficulty may be experienced before the
season is through in filing these contracts.
1t is pretty generally conceded fact that
the packing of the west will fall below
last year, and we shall enter the
new season with little or no old stocks on
hand. At the inside prices the product
sold at during the week, hogs will have to
sell some lower than many anticipate, else
the raw material will be worth more than
the manufactured product. 1t may be that
pork at $16 for January viii be high when
January comes, but still the reverse is very
apt to be the case, fer barrel hogs do not
promise to be very plentiful. Eighteen
dollar mess pork crnnot be made at
a profit if hogs cost over
g. a pound gross, and as this is generally
lower price than the majority anticipate
will be reached, the outlook is not encour-
aging fer very low. It is claimed by those
who ought to know that Europe will want
less products than usual. Be this as 1t
may, 1t must not be forgotten that Europe
has taken fully less by one-third of the
product the last year than she
did the year previous, and still stocks
in America are much lower than usual at
at this season of the year, which indicates
that America has consumed more than
usual, though of course our productions
has bee much less. The situation is a very
interesting one and will bear close Watching
Low prices seem out of the question ex7
cept in times of undue excitement like
that which has characterized the market
the last two weeks. Holders of meats are
not free sellers, and prices of nearly all de-
scriptions Of sides, shoulders, and hams
have not declined to any extent for imme-
diate delivery, for the reason that sellers
find very fair demand at about their ask
ing figures. Hence there is no reason for
their offering at lower prices.

Tairt;et.. Eegis7atirc Disty;cs.

Immediately upon the adjournment of
the county convention the delegates of
the Thirtieth Legislative district assembled
in the annex to the hall and proceeded to
make the representative nominations.
Hon. E. NJ. Wilson was elected chairman
and Mr.. E. W. Wilson was chosen secretary.
Ed. A. Stevens moved to refer the sena-
torial nominations to the legislative COM
mittee.
Hon. Seagrave Smith moved to amend
by nominating E. NJ. Wilson for senator.
Mr.. Smiths motion was received with gem
eral favor, bat Mr.. Wilson declined with
thanks. A vote was then taken on the mo-
tion to refer, which was carried.
Alderman Daniel Watt, James II. Law
renee, Chas. Early, Thomas Garritty.
of Crystal Lake, and VIM. Grimshaw
were named as possible nominees.
Mr.. Lawrence and Mr.. Early Withdrew
their names and Lawrence suggested the
name of Harry Ghostly, of Cnamplin,
who in turn declined,
Messrs. Watt, Garritty and GriEnshaw
were then nominated by acclanation The
name of Fred Smith, of Osseo, was then
presented.
Seagrave Smith nominated Edward
Eichorn, bat upon learning that RI. Etc
horn would not serve, withdrew the nomi-
nation. Mr.. Lawrence nominated Joel
Bassett-.
John Moran, of Corcoran, was also sug-
gested.
Mr.. seagrave Smith supported Mr..
Bassett in a few well chosen
words.
Mr. Watt de1nurred on the ground of
Mr.. Bassett's having sold all Of his prop
erty in the Thirtieth district and being
about to remove to the Twenty ninth.
There being some difficulty in combin-
ing On any one of the three gentlemen last
named it was decided to leave the remain
ing nomination to the delegates from the
country towns.
The gentlemen from the country there
upon withdrew and soon returned sub
mitting the name OF Herman Hind of
Minneapolis. Mr.. Hind modestly attempted
to withdraw, but was overruled and nom
mated BY unanimous acciamation.
The matter of district committee was
left to the chair, after which the meeting
adjourned.

Democrat, against whose integrity the op-
position party could not raise voice.
Mr.. Foote was nominated by accla1na-
nation.
Mayor Ames thought it best that it be
decided before further action should be
taken in the convention, that at least the
nomination of two delegates be selected
by the delegates from the country should
be made On the legislative ticket.
Mr.. Connolly thought the city might best
first select four representatives and then
concede the other two to the county.
After e short debate upon the
question, upon the motion of Mayor
Ames recess OF ten minutes was
taken to allow the conntry delegates
to select the names OF two candidates for
the legislative ticket, while the city dele
gates should select three more from the
city.
At the expiration of the time allotted
the convention was again called to order,
and Nh. Ankeny from the country delega-
tlon presented the names of Ezra Paine of
Eden Prairie, and @. j. Johnson of the.
township Of Minneapolis. The nornina-
tons were seconded by Mr.. Callahan.
Upon the motion Of Mayor Ames the
nominations were made unanimous by
acclamation.
Hanso G. Peterson, Of the Sixth ward
was nominated by Jacob Martin.
PIE. Ciementson thought it best to either
leave off the name of any Scandinavian
or select an exceptionally strong man.
Pat Callahan nominated 2. J. Z. Glenn
entson, but Mr.. Clement5on stated that he
could not accept the nomination.
Mayor Anes said he knew Mr.. Peterson
was first-class man, but as to his Demo-
cratic proclivities ne was not prepared to
vouchsafe, as he had never heard the gen
tleman express himself in that respect.
Matthew Walsh presented the name of
John 3. Mueller, who was quickly placed
in nomination, and the choice elected ap-
plaause.
Mayor Ames presented enc name of John
Fewer, and the nomination was seconded
10y Col. Stevens.
House o. Peterson was next unanimously
! nominated, filling the quota.
The chairman was authorized to appoint
| a legislative committee of three, when the
convention stood adjourned.
