THEIR CONFERENCE A SALEM, VA.
At the NJ. E. South conference in Salem. Va.
Saturday, John o. Knott, Chas. l. Potter, Ber-
nard p. White and b. T. Flowers were elected to
local deacons orders and Ormon w. Hammond
to local elders orders. The report of the com.
mittee on publishing interests was read, and
Rev. ]. B. McFerrin, agent, addressed the con-
ference on the interests of the Southern Metho-
dist publishing house and DIR. Fitzgerald in the
interest of the Nashville Advocate. Rev. r. A.
Young, ID. D., missionary secretary, stated that
nearly twice as many preachers were now sus-
tanned in foreign fields by the southern Metho-
dist church as in 1882.
Mr.. Charles Shipley, conference missionary
treasurer, having prepared q list Of the charges
which overpafd their missionary assessment,
DR.. Young began TO call upon the pastors OF
these churches to show how they did 1t. Trinity
and st. Paul's churches, Baltimore, we're re-
ported, when Rev. w. A. Wade arose and OBJ
jected to this course as rejecting invidiously
upon other members Of the conference, equally
Jealous and faithful, who did not succeed in
raising all their assessments.
Rev. J.. g. Gardner, presiding elder OF the
Washington district, Rev. j. 3. Hutchinson and
Jesse b. Wilson sustained the objection. Their
remarks were vigorously applauded, greatly to
the discontinue Of DR.. Young. He expressed
regret at having displeased the brethren by his
methods, but said 1t seemed the only way to
comply with the requirements of the general
conference touching missionary day. Further
calling Of this roll OF honor was dispensed with.

The White House Stables.

ALL BUT THREE OF THE SEVEN OFFICE HORSES
TO BE DISPENSED wITH-MR. ARrHUR's
HORSES.
Col. Lamont, the Presidents private secre-
tary, does not contemplate any further reduc-
tions of force at the White House. He is of the
opinion that there are no more ushers mes
sengers on duty there than are needed, and that
the clerical force has been sufficiently reduced
Upon investigating the Presidents stables,
were more horses kept there for the office use Of
the White House than will be needed during the
summer, and has therefore given orders that
all but three shall be turned i'm to the quarter
masters department. where they belong. There
were originally seven office horses, but Mr..
Phillips, President Arthurs private secretary,
purchased two sorrels some time ago, which
were recently removed. OF the three orses re-
tanned two will be driven to the office carriage
and the other to buggy for the use of messen-
gers, as heretofore.
During Mr. Arthur's administration the
White House stables were well filled, as in ad.
dition to the seven horses referred to, he kept
ten horses at his own expense, among them
four big bays, which were often driven four in
hand. These Mr.. Arthur left for the use of
President Cleveland as long as he might desire.
Mr.. Arthur's sOrrel saddle horse, while a
beautiful animal, could not be used to any ex-
tent, as it was compelled to breathe through
q silver tube, having undergone an operation
presented by Mr.. Arthur to Albert Hawkins,
the White House coachman. President Cleve-
land intends keeping but two carriage horses
for his private use, and will shortly purchase a
satable pair, but until then will continue to use
those placed at his disposal by Mr.. Arthur.
