c. X. WEsTFALL.
The report was read and submit
ted at the the afternoon session
and made the special order for 7 o.
clock in the evening.
Before the appointed hour arriv-
ed the church was more than crow
ded, and the universal interest in
the one absorbing, vital issue be-
fore the people of West Virginia
was plainly readable in the anx-
ious, earnest faces of the audience.
DR.. Warner presided and with
his easy dignity allowed the meet
ing to run itself, only holding his
hand on the throttle and lever to
let steam on or off, and change di-
rection, if need be as occasion might
require.
The speaking was voluntary and
extempore and without prearrage-
ment, which to rely on is often a
risky experiment; but in United
Brethren conference you may safely
count on successful temperance
meeting improvised at any time
and place, and SO was it here.
After singing some temperance
songs, led by Rev w. M. Weekly,
and an earnest temperance prayer
by Rev. J. Slaughter, the short,
sharp talks came in rapid success
sion.
The speeches were all of that
earnest practical sort that come
from full hearts burning with zeal
in grand cause, without any Of
that unremunerative effort at ora
torical soaring above the peoples
heads, that we sometimes witness
to the shame and discontinue of the
cause it scars over.
AS furnishing the text for some
of the speeches We suppose it should
be stated just here that the humble
FREEMAN representative, being call
ed on, first made some practical
statements as to the origin, plan,
purpose, work and success of the
West Virginia FREEMAN, not omit
ting it's wants-especially its want
and need of the hearty support OF
temperance friends throughout the
State. Nor did he forget to thank
the Conference on behalf of the tenn
perance people of the State for its
hearty welcome and uniform kind
ness to the FREEMAN. The editor
found no warmer welcome nor war
mer friends anywhere, than in theU.
B. Conference, and for all this he
was especially grateful.
PICKINGs FROM THE SPEECHES.
Listening to the several crisp and
stirring speeches, we attempted
nothing more than to Jot down a
few sayings of the speakers out OF
the many good things of the meet
ing.
REV. J. SLAUGHTER, the first spea-
ker, among other things, said ne
had long known that the people
were dying, but the FREEMAN comes
to tell him what's killing them.
We hear of yellow fever IN the
farSouth, but are not afraid. W hen 1t
comes up the Mississippi and along
up the Ohio we get afraid.
Whisky is killing hundreds
where yellow fever kills one, ana
we ought to be afraid.

Conference Notes.

We have in the 3 years past at
tended annual gatherings Of relig-
ious bodies in all parts Of the State,
and nowhere have we seen dele
gates and visitors entertained with
freer handed or more open-heart-
ed hospitality. Verify the Mason
county farmers know how to make
visitors feel at home, and what's
more they just come out and com
pei you to come In.
The strife seemed to be between
the good people of New Haven and
the farmers in the vicinity as to
who should do most to make the
Conference happy and get the most
pleasure out of inequalities extern
ded.
We want all our temperance
friends to know that the humble
FREEMAN delegate to the Conference
was fairly smothered with kind
nesses during all his stay He had
to decline enough invitations to
have kept him feasting on fat
things all summer. And just here
we rise to remark, that in the inn
possible event that all other friends
should ever fail US, we're not going

The Bishop, in his Sunday dis
course, was delightfully."- partial to
the little folks. He expressed his
deep sympathy with a neighbor-
hood he once visited where there
were no children, and said he urg-
ed them to import few carloads
at once. Parents were careful to
raise choice flowers about their
homes, but no flower could be rails
ed, half SO good and beautiful as a
child to bloom forever in the Gar
dens above.
He said no staple could be pro-
duced to compare with "a crop of
good children.
Some of his hearers thought the
Bishops encouraging words in this
line Of culture, were perhaps super
fiuous in West Virginia districts.
However, it must be remembered,
the Bishop was speaking Of good
children, not the ordinary crop

speakers.
At the annual session of the
Petersburg Conference of the
United Brethren Church, convened
last week at Bachtel Chapel, Ma
son county, w. Va, the subject of
Temperance was made the special
order for Saturday evening March
18th, when was considered the fol-

REPORT ON PROHIBITION.
Your committee on Prohibition
beg leave to report as follows:
Since our last meeting as Con-
ference the subject of legal prohibi-
ton has received a great deal of at
tention and excited much interest
on the part of the Christian people
Of the State.
In the Legislature the House of
Delegates passed the prohibitory
Amendment by more than a three
fourths majority, but the measure
was defeated by sufficient minor
ity in the Senate.
Eleven men in that body assn ~
ed to say that the people of the
State should not be permitted to
say what they wanted on a subject
of such vital interest.
These men have not only betray-
ed the right, but they have insult
ed the people and are henceforth
unworthy of their confidence.
The time has fully come when,
as United Brethren, we cannot af-
ford to support man for Office who
fayors the legalized liquor traffic.
We hold that Christian must
have the same conscience at the
Ballot Box that he has in the Pray
er Meeting, to be consistent and
loyal to the right.
We heartily approve of the call
Ing of a State Convention by the
State Temperance Executive Com
mlttee, and urge our people to at
tend In as large numbers as possible.
We urge our people generally to
give hearty support to the West
Virginia FREEMAN, and to contri-
butte In every possible way to the
success Of legal prohibition.
The battle must and will go on
until every licensed saloon in the
State shall be closed, and every
sott-handed saloon keeper be com
PEELED to engage in honest, useful
callings.
The State must be made to feel
that it will not be allowed to license
SIN and give legal sanction to any
business which makes it easy for the
citizen to go wrong.
BY every honorable means in our
power we will strive to overthrow
this accursed traffic which natural
~ fosters idleness and crime, pro-
duces IN the State class of vulgar
and dangerous citizens, and cor
rupts our social and political life.
We recommend that the Presid-
Ing Elders of the Conference, viz. ::
z; Warner, S. J. Graham and E.
harper, be appointed a central
temperance Committee on Prohibi-
lion, and be authorized to confer
and cooperate with similar commit
tees appointed by other Christian
bodies of the State.
Invoking the help of our God,
who hates the wrong and loves the
right, abhors the hypocrite, but
smiles upon the honest man, let us
address ourselves anew to the bles-

SAD EVENT.
An Innocent Girl Visits Earthly Relatives,
Crosses the Death Stream, and En-
ters Her Heavenly Home.

Yesterday morning Miss Ida Lyons,
aged IL years, daughter of Charles
Lyons, visited her aunt, Mrs. Hamel re-
siding on the bank of the river, east side.
She asked her aunt if she might go to
the river for some water, and taking
dipper, started. Prolonged absence
caused uneasiness, and Mrs. Hamel went
out to look for her, and found her body
i'll the river, and pulled it out. DR.. Gerow
was called and Immediately responded,
but all efforts at resuscitatiOn proved un
availing. AS the water where she was
found is only 13 inches deep, 1T is sup
posed that she was attacked with fit,
and fell in, with no power to help her
self or call for aid. She could not have
been in the water much over Eve min
utes. She was bright little girl and a
general favorite with all her acquaint-
ances, old and young, and her sudden
taking away carries sorrow to numerous
hearts. The parents and mourning rel
atives have the sympathy of the entire
community. How sad-innOcent. Iistless
of danger, her fancies playing with the
smoke as it curled over the village into
the sky, she stoOps for drink, and death
claimed her.

A MIRACULOUS CURE
Alleged 20 Have Been Effected Through
the Medium or Prayer

HUDSON, Mass, March 20.-The members
OF st. Michael parish in particular, and the
townspeople generally, are talking about
what is termed a miraculous cure, recently
effected through the medium Of prayer. On
the 9TH of last October, Annie Feeney,
nineteen years Of age, while at work
in Stoves shoeshop, wac suddenly stricken
with what was termed paralysis, and
Immediately passed into 4 decline,
both of mental and physical functions, and
at the expiration of two weeks was entirely
helpless and utterly oblivious of all that was
transpiring around her. The best medical
skill in the vicinity was employed without
beneficial results, and she was taken TO the
Massachusetts general hospital, but no relief
could be obtained there, and she was taken
to her home apparently helpless for life.
Friday, March ID, in mission week, and at
the request Of the young lady's friends, the
Rev. Father Z ordan, one of the mission
fathers, Waited her at her home and
read prayers over her. The following
day she gave evidence of partial restora-
lion of her mental faculties, followed in
time by the return of the power OF speech,
and last week she had so far improved as 10

duties. During the. last week she has at
tended TO all the domestic work of the house
while her mother has been away visiting.
The six months in which she remained help
less and apparently unconscious is blank
period to her. The case excites unusual in
terest here, and has created considerable of
stir In religious circles.
