The Methodist Centenary.

The great Centennial Conference
Of MethOdism met in Baltimore
Wednesday.
Bishop Andrews made the address
of welcome. He said that in the
city of Baltimore the first society
was organized, the first chapel
builded, and in 1884 the first con-
ference held. At that day the Bal
timOre Conference sent missionaries
to Nova Scotia, and the church has
spread through Canada, New Eng
land, to the South and through the
West to the Pacific. I;
Rev. Dr. McFerrin, of the Church
South, made the response. He said
he was the only one present from
the South who attended the General
Conference rs delegate in 1886 and
1910. He loved the Methodist doc
trine of justification by faith, and
he hoped the Church would never
depart from it. He had come to
Baltimore to meet his brethren and
mingle with them in song and
prayer, forgetting all differences
that may have occurred in the past,
Rev. DIR. j. G. Price spoke of the
great work methodism had accom-
plished. 1t had gone to Africa, the
dark land of his race; it has found
a foOthOld in China, and in India,
and to the islands of the sea its mis-
sionaries had carried the gospel,
and il had done more. After eighty
years from the meeting of that first
conference 1t had struck the shack

After speaking, the Lords Supper

Repeal the Law.
Chatfanoooa Times

The first duty OF the Legislature,
after organizing, is the repeal of the
Railroad Commission Bill. The
Savage ticket. which stood for the
Bill. has been overwhelmingly re-
pudiated. Over q, 600 voters treat
ed the thing called sspolitical rail
road regulation" with contempt by
refusing to put tho names of either
set :of candidates on their ticket.
The majority OF those voting for
Commissioners really voted for the
repeal of the whole concern. Out
of a total vote of 258, 900 the Savage
ticket got but lis, 900, lacking p, DOC
of half! III the Legislature il not
directed by the people to wipe out
this nuisance then there is univer-
sal misunderstanding OF the peoples
word expressed in the ballots.

THE Brooklyn Eagle says sGen.
Grant has very perceptibly aged
within the last few months. His
hair and beard are almost white,
his former erect bearing has given
place to a slight stoop, and he walks
with the slow and infirrn step of a
man many years his senior. The
hardships he underwent during the
war made no apparent ImpressOn
upon his vigorous frame, but since
the fatal crash of the house of Ward
d Grant the change in his personal
appearance is sadly noticeable. 10
Is questionable whether he will be
able to engage in any active employ-
rnent again, and this, doubtless was
one of the reasons which prompted
President Arthur to renew his rec
ommendation that Congress should
grant the famous soldier a pension

Yours,
A wv EnWARD.


This drove much OF the hard sto-
ny look from her face, but she con-
tinued her search. She fished out
a Francis Murphy temperance
badge, n bottle Of DIR. Surepop's
corn destroyer, and beneath ii al,
in the bottom of the grip, a letter,
sealed, stamped and ready for the
mSil, addressed to Miss George
Gray, St. Paul, Mimi"
The superscriptiOn was In her
husbands well-knOwn handwriting,
and again the stony look came into
her eyes.
"Oh, the wretch ~ she cried in
her anguish.
my suspicious are too well foun-
del! Georgie GrayI Oh this is
too much too much |! u and she
gave way toa food of tears.
When she had Gained herself she
tore the letter open and read as fol-
lows
"St. Paul. MIMI. Sept. l9--Miss
Gray: Your note, asking me to
meet you in Rice park, Saturday
evening, was handed me by a dis.
trict messenger boy this morning.
In reply, permit me to say that you
have mistaken the man. You may
not be aware OF the fact that am
a married man, and am blest with
the love and confidence of the
sweetest little wife in America.
Rather than betrayt6a4t confidence
or dishonOr that love, / would suf-

WILLIAM -"
Then she laid down on the bed
and sObbed for awhile, and then
closed the grip, took it to the pOr-
ter and asked him to take it to the
store and say nothing of what had
occurred. AS ne entered the store
the drummer stepped from behind
a pile Of goods, and asked:
ibid she go through it, John ?"
"Guess so. She took il into an
other room, an was gone half an
hour before she brought il back"
"HOw did she act ?"
"Well, she was smilin' awfully,
but looked teary all around the
eyes. She gimme another dollar,

That's business, John. Here's

disappeared behind the green shade
