regent. The last are selected, If possible,
from the descendants of Revolutionary
families. The place is maintained by a
fee of 30 cents charged every passenger
who lands at Mount Vernon. The asso-
ciation lets the contract for carrying pas
sengers to o steamboat company, which
makes daily trips. The fare is 81, which
includes the entrance fec to the house
and grounds. But the feeling is general
and is loudly expressed that no admis-
sion fee at all ought to be charged and
the government should be the owner.
This will eventually work n change. The
management has done much for the
place, but the authority of the regent is
absolute, the appointment of the vice
regents arbitrary and things conducted
generally in n slipshod way. Once a
year, in the month of May, these ladies
meet at Mount Vernon. They spend II
week there and on Sunday they attend
Pohick Church, which was General
Washington's parish church and sit in
the Washington pew. They look ovcr
the accounts-but there is NO real super
vision, the regent, Mrs, Macalistcr
Laughton, who lives in Washington, be-
ing virtually suprcme-and then go home
and see Mount Vernon no more until the
next May. 1t is obvious that this plan
cannot long last. Some years ago a
charter was granted n company to build
a railroad from Washington to Mount
Vernon. Lately the project has been
actively revived. When that is built and
the time of n visit brought within two
hours instead OF five hours, as it is at
present, and greater crowds attend, the
Ladies' Mount Vernon Association will
be a thing of the Dast.

THE CARE OF MOUNT VERNON.
What One south Carolina Woman Has Don
For the Place.

For the Place.
Mount Vernon is the property of the
Ladies' Mount Vernon Association-an
association that saved it to the country,
but which must inevitably transfer it 10
the government, MS the people of the
whole country, not n mere orgarization,
should be the owners of the home of
Washington. The property wa left by
Washington to his nephew, Judge Bush
rod Washington, and descended finally
to Colonel John Washington. In 1859
Colonel Washington, whose affairs were
very much embarrassed, was forced to
sell. Congress, with strange stupidity,
took no account of the place, and it was
left TO a m to save Mount Vernon
from the autioneer's hammer. This
woman, Pamela Cunningham, was from
South Carolina. She had been an in
valid, we'll nigh b~ed-ridden, all her life
since her eighteenth year. When the
news of the proposed sale reached her
she conceived the plan of rescuing the
place. She applied first to Congress,
but Congress would do nothing. Then
from her sick bed she organized the
Ladies' Mount Vernon Association and
got q charter from the Stste of Virginia.
She interested Edward Everett in it,
who agreed to deliver q course of lectures
as a nucleus for q fund to buy it. These
lectures were brilliantly successful. Nh.
Everett turned over 868, 900 to the asso-
citation. Other contributions flowed in,
and at last the house and 200 acres of
land we're bought for 5000, 600. The
original Mount Vernon tract, when II
was called the Hunting Greek estate,
comprised 5000 acres, but it had
dwindled in the course Of years.
The association is governed by one
regent, who is appointed for life, and
every State in. the Union has o yice

Discussion OF Several important Matters. Adj
journmcnt Sine Die.
Several important matters were consid-
cred by the Methodist Episcopal Con-
ference at Richmond, Va, duringthc two
days of its session.
A resolution was adopted directing the
book agent to pay to the bishops and
bishops widows the amounts designated
to be paid them annually, aggrcgating
$36, 000. A resolution was adopted that
United States Senators Harris, Whit
thorne and Morgan be requested to look
after the publishing house claim before
Congress. The committee on mission
work reported approving cooperation
with the Woman's Missionary Society.
A resolution was adopted praying the
attention of the President of the United
States to the international treaty with
China, the disregard of which threatens
violence to the Missionaries of the Church
in that country.
The committee on temperance sub
mitted a very lengthy report expressing
opposition to the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating liquors, except for medi-
cinal and and mechanical purposes. The
committees report recommended that
Church members engaging in liquor
traffic be treated rs in cases of imprudent
conduct. DR.. Gambler, of Georgia,
moved to amend the Discipline by insert
ing the word ''immoral" in place of
''i%mprudent." The introduction of this
amendment elected n lengthy and ami
mated discussion, and when Delegate
Duncan, of Tennessee, i'll rcfcrringto per-
sons engaged III the liquor traffic remain
ing i'll the Church, said: eve must not
sanction a traffic with the seal of Mctho-
dism on the barrels" there was n general
outburst of laughter. DIR. Blackwell, of
Virginia, thought the less legislation had
III regard to morals the better. The re-
corded vote on DR.. Gamblers amend
mcnt resulted III 107 for and Go against.
The report was then adopted as 4 whole.
A resolution vas adopted, requesting
the Bishops to put foreign missions in
their regular annual visitations, leaving,
however, such visits discretionary with
them. The Conference commended the
woman's missionary work by a unmi-
nous vote.
