MRS. FRENCH'S CROWN OF JOY.
The agent of this celebrated cure has
appointed Messrs. Stone & Hassel and
W. B. Baxter, druggists. sole agents for
this now well-known remedy for Kid
ney, Liver and Dropsy complaints. Call
on them for circular and testimonials.
This celebrated medicine is compound
ed by a most cleanly process from herbs
gathered in Palestine and one is not re-
quired to take half dozen bottles to
prove its usefulness. A single dose will
convince the sufferer of its curative
power. Manufactured in the great med
icine city of Rochester, N T., it has a
larger home patronage than all other
compounds combined in that city.

STATE SUPERVISION.

the state board of charities has the pow

care of or not. a state appropriation
of 81, 90 week for each inmate is given
to those counties that are annually APP

his misguided followers believe him to
be, instead of the dishonest knaye which
he is openly charged with being, he has
an excellent opportunity to vindicate

says:
The rumor that Mr.. st. John was

getting pretty wide circulation. In
point of fact. there is no ''rumor' about
it. Mr.. ST. John went into the late

Methodist Centennial.

The great conference celebrating the
one hundreth anniversary of the organi-
zation of the Methodist Episcopal
Church of America. assembled in Balti-
more Tuesday last week. The first
Methodist church erected in Baltimore,
1878, is still standing, and now used as
warehouse. In IVA a church was
erected in Lovely lane, and on its site
now stands the Merchants clubhouse.
1t was in this church that the first
conference was held, in 1776. In 1884 in
this church the Methodist Episcopal
church of America was organized The
church was especially fitted up for this
important assembly. The seats. which
were only common benches, had backs
put on them, q gallery was erected, and
for the first time stove was put in to
warm the building. In 1885 this church
was sold and larger one erected on
Light street, from which have grown
all the churches of the city. Baltimore
being very centrally located in refer
ence to the spread of Methodism was
soon reconized as its chief place. For
many years the closing annual confer
ence was held in that city, and all the
general conferences until 1912.
The conference will consist of about
600 delegates, and will continue in ses-
sion eight days. The following table

sentcd, and indicates their numerical

In reply TO letter from DIR. w. w.
Golding, superintendent of the Wash
ington Insane Asylum, asking about
the peculiarities of Wisconsin's care for
the insane, the information being de-
sired for the Brazilian minister, Secre-
tary Wright has given the following
facts regarding the care of the in
sane: ave have two state hospitals
for the insane built upon the Kirk bridge
plan, at per cent capita cost of about
1000. One will accommodate 500 and
the other 600. There are no special
features about the management of these
different from the average state hospi-
tails as have seen them elsewhere. We
have also county asylum in Milwau-
kee county, accommodating 800, which
is essentially state institution. and
well managed. You have number OF
soldiers who have been in it,
1.-The peculiar feature of Wisconsin
is in the other county Institutions. OF
these we have eleven. with capacity
of 700 inmates, and one more nearly
ready, which, with additions to two
others, will. very shortly give us ca
pacity of $50 in twelve institutions,
ranging from 40 to'110. Ten of these are
associated with the poorhouse; two are
not. One. temporarily, is allowed to
use wing of the poorhouse, and one
uses, temporarily, a part of the poor
house for one sex. The rest are all in

strength:

Some of the figures, it should be said,
though the latest obtainable, are two
or three years old, and hence the aggre-
gate of Methodists who will be represeted
in the conference will be considerably
in excess of what the above table indi-
Gates. 1t should be remembered, too,
that the above footing represents the
bona fide commandments of the different
churches, not the attendants at Metho-
dist places of worship. Allowing three
adherents for each member, which is a
yerv reasonable estimate, ii will be seen
that the actual Methodist constituency
represented in the approaching confer
ence will approximate closely TO 10, O00.-
