AWAITING THE FATAL SUMMONS

a WAI1ING THE FATAL SUMMONS
Afflicted, as was General Grant, by an in
durable disease of the throat, the German
Emperor awaits the fatal summons.
Like Grants, the Emperor's life may be
prolonged by careful nursing and the as
siduous attention of physicians, but the end
must come speedily. His reign, therefore,
must be little more than an interregnum.
1t will mark gap between the death of bis
father and the succession of his son. Ger.
many can look to the reigning Emperor
only as the central figure in royal funeral
But brief as the reign must be OF the man
SO long known as the Crown Prince, he will
be mourned the more sincerely because of
the popular feeling that the son and sue.
cessor does not inherit his calm aud lofty
mind. bat is instead a headstrong, il-advisel

standing army, which he has ut hand.
To let slip the dogs OF war may prove the

George William Curtis says that both
Grant and Cleveland "failed as civil service
reiormers." Mr.. Curtis might have gone
further, and said that everybody else has
failed. Civil service reform is beautiful Ia
theory but difficult to put into practice in
this country.

A DIVIDED HOUSEHOLD.

The Republican party in Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts as it is In Congress is a
thick skinned high tariff party, willing to
reduce taxation on rum and tobacco, but
determined to sustain the burden upon
woolens, iron, salt, glass, lumber and other
necessities of existence. In Illinois it plays
fast and loose, getting up one tariff plank
for its protection organs, another for its or
gans committed in the public interest to ad'
vocacy of reduced taxation. In Minnesota
it differs as widely concerning the tariff
IRON its Massachusetts and PennsylVania
household as upon the same question
Cleveland differs from Blaine.
This same party Of the north asserts that
it is not permitted effective organization In
the south and processes yearning desire to
gain for the negro of that section the polti.
cal recognition which ii does not grant him
here This same party of the south up
braids the northern section for failure TO
nationalize the party by full recognition of
southern State organizations and efficient
effort to act in presidential year by
carrying the war into Africa.
1t is not, therefore, hard TO arrive at the
correct conclusion that the Republican party
is divided household. The Republican
who is politician for office only will labor
TO minimize the adverse influence of these
various differences in the party. Like
Gould, who was Democrat in Demo
cratic district, Republican in Republican
district, but always an Erie man, the Re
publican party is at present playing the part
of u political trimmer--a Prohibitionist in
Iowa, Kansas and Maine-a fence straddler
in Pennsylvania. In Massachusetts, and
Pennsylvania he will denounce such doc.
trine as the damnabe heresy Of free traders
upon the destruction Of American indus
tries. Never passing south of Mason's AMI
Dixon's line, he will weep crocodile tears
over the supposititious sufierings Of the en-
slaved negro and shut him out of every pos
sibiiiy of place-holding in the north.
Four years ago this same party, pledging
itself to correct the inequalities of the tariff
and judiciousy to reduce the surplus, nom

ireine protectionist and never attempted re
demptinn of the pledge. This same party

DOOR CLOSED BUT NOT BOLTED

DOOR CLOSED BUT NOT BOLTED
After few days of earnest and at times
excited discussion the Methodist General
Conference gently but firmly led the women
delegates TO the door, put them out and
closed the door, but took care not to bolt it.
Four years from this time the women will
undoubtedly be back again and in all prob.
ability instead of knocking for admission
they will march boldly in, take their seats
as ii right and not male member will ven
>fnre.to offer q molten qaestionlng their eli
gibility.
The report of the majority of the commit
tee antagonistic to the women did not come
TO a vote. The conference was not prepared
to edmit them at once, nor would IL take
the responsibility Of saying they had no
Just claim to admission. Being in doubt
what to do nothing was done except to
refer the whole matter to the annual con-
ferences If these, during the next four
years, should take action endorsing the
claims of the women to admission into the
governing body the general conference will
feel bound to respect that action and admit
as somewhat peculiar. The general con-
ference is the supreme council OF the Metho-
dist church and makes laws for the whole
body. The alleged ground upon which it
declines at present to admit women is a
doubt as to their eligibility under the Meth
odist constitution. 1t is not denied that they
are found in other departments of the church
organization having equal influence with
men, but the general conference is not sure
about their constitutional right to take part
in the great council of the church. The
question of constitutionalty is therefore re-
ierred by the general conference to the an
nual conferences-from the supreme court
10 the courts below, which is reversal of
the usual order Of procedure.
During the four years TO come the women
are not likely to be idle. They are power In
the several churches and can make their in
fiuence felt with the ministers who compose
the annual conferences. If they really want
to be represented in the great law-making
body of the church they can unquestionably
secure from the annual conferences decla
ration in their favor. They have already
made greater progress in one conference
than the cause Of lay representation was
able to make in several The opposition to
the admission of laymen was overwhelming
on the part of the ministers, but constant
agitation finally overcome that opposition
and the laymen are now potent factor in
the councils. The women almost got in at
their first attempt

Funeral of Miss Sarah Hemingway
 MT. HaneV's New Invention n Success
 General Notes.
 The funeral services over the remains oi the late Miss Sarah Hemingway took place from her late residence on South Quinnipiac street yesterday afternoon at o'clock and was largely attended. Rev. Dr. Hart of the First church, of which the deceased had been a lifelong member5 of6ciated and in his ad- dress referred in an appropriate and touching manner to the many Christian virtues and lovable traits of the deceased. The bearers were six nephews of the deceased-Charles w., the shoe dealer: 0. s., Enos E. of New York, F. Howard, Samuel, teller at the Sec ond National bank, and James s. The burial was in the Fair Haven Union cemetery.
 William Haney has completed the work of fitting the Quinnipiac drawbridge with his newly patented automatic safety guards, which make it impossible for anyone to get on the draw when it is open or in the act of being opened.
 The joint committee of the seleetmen and board of public works examined the work last Friday and expressed the opinion that the guards did all the work they were in- tended to do. It now remains to be seen whether the committee will accept the work. This is the first bridge that has been fitted up with these improvements and the contract was made in such way that the city was not obliged to accept the job anyway.
 Mir. Haney is very well satisfied with the way his new invention works. It is proba- ble that he will secure the job of applying his attachment to two draws in Boston and to one or two bridges in Bridgeport
 O. B. Hemingway has gone to Gouverneur, NY, to spend the summer on farm.
 Fred Richards has accepted position on the Dixwell avenue horse railroad.

AN IMPRESSIVE OCCASION

At West Haven Congregational Church -Ordina1IOn Of Rev. L. IF. Feet and Dr. Van Allen for she Foreign Mfs- sionary Work.
 Last evening at the Congregational church in Weet Haven took place the ordination of two young men for the foreign missionary work, MT. Lyman P. Peet, B. A., and Dr. Frank Van Allen. These young men will go to China and India respectively. For some time their friends and the people of the Con- gregational church of West Haven have been looking forward to the event as one of un- usual interest.
 The ordainfng council met in the lecture room at o'clock in the afternoon, there being present representatives from the fol- lowing churches, pastor and one delegate from from each church: Humphrey street church, Dwight Place church, Daven- port church, College street church, Howard avenue church, First church, Fair Haven, North Haven church, Orange church, Plymouth church, Milford, and Whitneyville church, and the following individuals: Rev. George P. Fisher, D. D., and Rev. George B. Stevens, D. D., of Yale. Rev. W. T. Reynolds was elected moderator, and the Rev. N. J. Squiresl scribe. After short session the candidates were unanimously. ac- cepted and recess taken.
 The ordaining services of the evening be- gan at 7:3O. A large audience mad assem- bled, all available room being occupied. Credit is due to the ladies of the church for the trimming and decorations, which were quite profuse, filling the air with the fra grance of flowers. After an anthem by the choir the invocation was pronounced by the Rev. J. Y. Leonard of this city, long con- nected with the mission in Turkey. After hymn the ordaining sermon was preached by pr. Stevens. Then followed the ordaining prayer by Dr. Twitehell. The right hand of fellowship was given to MT. Peet by Rev. 0. A. Dinsmore of Whitneyville, classmate; the same to Dr. Van Allen by Rev. F. R. Luckey, also graduate of this years class at Yale seminary. The ceremony and the preceding were the interesting features of the evening. Both were very impressive.
 Mir. Peet will engage especially in the ed ucational work in Foo Chow, China, this branch of missionary endeavor being very encouraging. An industrial school is es- tablished there, it's civilizing influences spreading each year. Mir. Peet has resided in West Haven for years, is graduate of the Hillhouse High school in the class of '81, II Yale college 'S5, and the present divinity class.
 Dr. Van Allen will engage in the medical missionary work in South India. Dr. Van Allen is a graduate of the Lake View High school, Chicago; Yale college, Yale Medical school and Yale Divinity school He has chosen the medical work, believing that it is one of the most efficient means of missionary enterprise.

 A large assemblage of people on Sunday witnessed the ceremony of laying the corner stone of the Swedish Lutheran church in Bridgeport, which is in course of erection on Park avenue near the corner of Harral avenue. The services took place at 3:3O D. m. and were conducted by Rev. MT. Ahlquist of Portland, Conn. He was assist ed by Rev. N. G. Johnson, the future pastor of the church, Rev. O. R. Palmer and others. Rev B. E. Warner, who was to have attend ed, was prevented from so doing on account of illness In the corner stone were placed recent copies of Swedish and Bridgeport newspapers and church documents, together with Swedish copy of the New Testament. The services were performed in an impressive manner.
