One Of Wards Tricks.

Many stories are told Of Wards
plausible ways id dealing with Gus
toners. Two years ago a New
Yorker deposited $4,000 with the
firm of Grant & Ward for invest
ment. He received reports from time
to time Of the condition of affairs.
and was always tickled with the i'm
mense profits which were being plac-
ed to his credit. In two years the
sum Of $4,000 had appreciated oD
the firms books to $500,C00, and tie
owner was SO notified. His impul-
ses led him to call on the bankers and
ask for his money. Ward seemed
delighted to get rid of it. He drew
his check for S500,000 presented ii
to The amazed speculator and dis
missed him with the most gracious
condecension. AT that time Ward
represented that he was individually
worth S3,000,000. The chance for
additional profits was 50 promising
to the fortunate New Yorker that he
returned all Of his money to the firm
on the following day and told them
to let il grow. It grew.

terrupted by hearty applause.
A layman called for the vote by tellers-
it was not sustained motion to postpone
was made and lost, and finally the main
report was adopted by an overwhelming
majority.
The committee then reported series Of
resolutions denouncing polygamy, and de-
claring it to be the sense of the representa-
tives of Aethodism, in general conference
assembled, that it is the duty Of the Legis-
lative Department Of the Government to
proceed without further delay. to enact
laws such as will summarily depose from
political and official power in the terrific
ries Of the United States those who either
practice or advocate polygamy as a civil or
religious right
Gov. Pattison made strong appeal for
the adoption Of the report, which was
adopted with applause.
