1t occurred in Sunday school a few weeks
ago. The minister of the church to which
the school was attached called to interview
the scholars. "Now, my little dears" he
commenced, as he stood on the platform rub
hing his hands complacently together, " l
want all of you who never swear or use bad
language to stand up.n All but two small
boys Immediately rose TO their feet, and al-
though the teacher urged them to do likewise
they retained their seats. The minister cast
his glances toward the little fellows, paused a
few moments, and then, after waving back
the children TO their seats repeated the re-
quest in this wise: Now all of you who love
to 90 to Sunday school, who love the Saviour,
who love your parents, who never do any
thing that you know TO be wrong'rise"
Again all but the two little boys rose to their
feet promptly. Little boys,' then said the
minister, addressing himself particularly TO
them, "oannot you rise, too, on that ques
tion?" "No, sir" promptly repliod the older
of tho two. "Why not why not, boys?
What do you think will become Of you If you
do all the bad things | have just itmentionedR
The boys shrugged their shoulders uneasty
for "a few moments, and thon when the whole
school had simmered down to profound
quietness the elder said saucily; well, Sir
my mamma said that we should be both min
listers one OF these days if we kept ont" The

Fashionable weddings are not only very eX-
pensiye, but they are enormously trying to the
nerves. OF the full dress rehearsals that pre-
cede, the Now York Telegram says; "The
most amusing feature of fell dress rehearsal
of fashionable wedding is the regulating the
gait at which the young couple are to proceed
up the aisle, Some times the bride and BRIDE
groom go up the aisle dozen different times,
with different steps and degrees Of rapidity,
before they hit upon what their circles of
relatives aud near iricnds think the correct
thing The bride often uys half dozen
positions and many more expressions. In
one position she leans little forward, in an
other she walks erect Whether she carries
her head on the right or left hand side is con-
sdered important The way the veil looks
best the adjustment of the train at the altar,
SD that she can turn around easily the proper
attitude In coming back these and various
other matters have 10 be considered and
marked out carefully in advance. These re-
hearsals are Of recent growth

TRYING THE HAZERS.
One Pleads Guilty, and Two Are on Trial
Unwilling Witnesses.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Aug 31.-The court-mar-
tial for the trial of the cadets charged with
hazing, began this morning The first cadet
tried was Trapnell, and he pleaded guilty.
s.. B Wineram was the next called and pleaded
not guilty. Witnesses were then examined.
Cadet Steiber, fourth class man, recognized
the accused as Mr. Wineram; could not tell
positively who told me to sing; think it was
Trapnell. They told me to sing out of my
by each cadet, TO the tune of Yankee
Doodle. Am not absolutely certain that
Wineram was present when
sang the notes. Witness thought Wineram's
presence was accidental, because he said
nothing and took no part in the proceed
ings, and, if present was reading. Accused
read statement, but declined to swear that
he was not present at the hazing
d. NJ. Young, of the third class, charged
with detaining and drilling in the wash
room the following members of the fourth
class: G. w. Galloway, +. G. Moore, Ii. W.
Magee and w. P Eyre, was next tried. The
testimony of these gentlemen was TO the ef-
feet that the accused did in no way molest
them in the washroom as charged. Magee
was made to 60 to the bathroom through
window, but by whom he does
not know, as he had not been long enough
on board the ship to recognize persons. AS
the cruise progressed he was still unable TO
recognize any of them who made him go
through the window; thought Young, the
accused was not among the number.
The court then adjourned till tomorrow.
The testimony to-day shows that the
fourth-cass men are very unwilling wit
nesses, and the most searching questions are
asked them without avail. Whenever they
can acquit their prosecutors, the thi7d-class
men, they do so. The court understands
this, and puts questions TO cover every phase
of the matter

TERRE HAUTE Aug. 31.-The principal
business transacted during to-days session
of the North western Methodist Episcopal
Conference was the election of delegates to
the General Conference, which meets at
Philadelphia next year. Before the election
was called it was decided to do away with the
former plan of electing by requiring each
delegate to receive a majority of the votes
cast. The conference has 1874 delegates. and
is therefore entitled to three delegates Revs.
Samuel Beck and Theo. Pavey were elected.
The election OF the third delegate was con-
unued until tomorrow, The lay electoral
conference met in Centenary Church this
morning, and after organizing and electng
committees, adjourned until this afternoon.
At this session two delegates were elected
to the General Conference. viz: e. S. Hogate,
of Danville, Ind, A Studebaker, OF South
Bend. An address to the Womens Foreign
Missionary Society was delivered by Mrs.
Willing, of Chicago, this afternoon, and
tonight DR.. Hartzell is addressing the con-
ference and the Freedman's Aid Society.
The pulpits of the churches whose pastors
are now on vacations will be filled by mem
bers of the conference on Sunday.
