APPOINTMENTS MADE.
CONFERENCE CONCLUDES IT'S
WORK AND ADJOURNS.
REPORT OF THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING SESSIONS.

! New Northwest District FOrmed--
Where the Ministers Labor During
| the Coming Year---Winding Up the
Business.
For yesterday afternoons session con-
ference convened IN the German Evan
gelical church, the ladies meeting ad-
dressed by Miss Baker, being held in the
Methodist church.
The committe on location of an 1nsti-
tuition of learning,reported through Pre-
siding Elder Bilbie. He gave brief
history of the Fergus Falls movement.
An institution was located there to be
under the joint control of the North Da-
kota and the Minnesota conferences, but
the matter has been dropped. through
the failure of the Minnesota conference
to cooperate.
A. D. Foster of st. Thomas, was elect
ed conference trustee instead of s. w.
Ingham.
A resolution declaring that the confer
ence attached no blame to Rev. H. r.
Miller, the secretary of the Wahpeton
court of inquiry, that tried Rev. B. S.
Taylor, for alleged changing the minutes
was introduced by Rev. s. N. Griffith
and adopted.
Rev. S. n. Griffith introduced resolu-
ton which was adopted, providing for
the appointment of committee of seven
whose duty it shall be to consider the
matter of the location of an institution
of learning within the conference, with
power to act.
Rev. Dempsey asked for and was grant
ed supernumerary relations. During the
discussion which this request occasioned
it was revealed that the brother chewed
tobacco. The conference then endeav-
ored to make it condition of granting
the relation that Dempsey would give
up the weed, and spent an hour laboring
and pleading with the brother to ''swear
off," Dempsey was firm, however, said
he came from the south where everybody
used tobacco, that he was sorry he had
acquired the habit, but did not think he
would give it up yet awhile. The out.
come was triumph for the expectorat.
ing minister; he still retains his plug and
was granted the desired relation.
Rev. B. S. Taylor, who is again at lib
erty to reform the world, introduced a
resolution denouncing the Fargo Weekly
Argus and the Grand Forks Weekly
Herald for publishing Louisiana State
Lottery advertisements and pledging the
ministers of the conference to refuse to
accept complimentary or d. H. copies Of
those papers. This occasioned consider
able discussion Some wanted to make
it more sweeping and some who saw the
absurdlty of the idea, would have pre-
ferred to see the matter drop. The
prospect Of an heroic sacrifice and /" a
step in advance" was lost when the reso-
luton of Mr.. Griffith declaring in gen.
eral way in favor of the extension of the
circulation of such papers as do not pub
lish such advertisements, at the expense
of those that do, was adopted.
Conference adjourned at $50 and visit.

A Chinese Onium ktorY.

Since the introduction Of opium into
China millions and tens OF millions have
given themselves up to its use, its vic
tins being found in all the ranks and
conditions Of life, even children. But q
case Of an infant becoming q victim to
it's pernicious influence has just come to
our knowledge. A man and his wife
had been in the habit of taking opium
for years, and one Of their chief delights
was in indulging themselves over the
pipe in each others company, each tax
ing alternate whiffs. One day the woman
gave birth to boy, and all the house.
hold was in an estatic state of joyful
ness. But before long the baby began to
show signs of illness, and, although a
physician was sent for, they could not
discover the cause OF its symptoms.
Every effort was mode to save the child,
but he only grew worse and worse, until
his parents gave him up as for lost. In
despair they took their pipe to solace
themselves, and behold! as they pulled
at the pipe the smoke was waited to the
child's nostrils. and. giving 9 sneeze, he
instantly revived and began to cry.
Upon inhaling more of the smoke he
changed his crying into laughing. and
became exceedingly lively. After that
he was all right as long as he inhaled
the smoke at regular periods of the day.
One day, however his parents neglected
to give him the accustomed dose oi
smoke, and before they were aware he
died. Chinese Times.

Of Commons the knit jacket that was

wears a black coat. 1t is said that he
wears this particular garment as a part
Of q vow he made when in prison, and
that as long as it holds together he will go
on using it..
No man in Psrliment pays less atten-
tion to his clothes than does Mr.. Parnell.
Except at dinner party or social func-
tion Of that sort, when he wears the
most irreproachable evening dress, he is
the worst. clothed gentleman in public
life in Great Britain. This is more no

tinue for the week, to be the rendez-
vous of all the thieves, lewd women.

junction with an immense influx Of
the same classes from California,
makes the city q reeking cesspool OF
corruption. The fragrant disregard of
all rules Of decency INDUCED in by
these persons and their noxious pres
ence in all parts OF the town, make it
impossible for people with modicum
OF morality 10 traverse the streets,
without having their hearing assailed
by the coarsest and foulest utterances

UNHAPPY HOrTENrOTs.
Fhetr Sorrows Endured while
Making sport for Cay Parfsians.

The Hottentots in the Jardin d'Ac,
climation continue to attract the at.
tion OF Parisians, but the poor crea.
lures have been shivering in the cold
autumnal weather which has prevailed
lately. They have been brought to
Paris by German, who relates that
he had TO get them TO start for Eu-
rope almost by force. Herr Thege,
the energetic person in question, first
negotiated with Mother Elizabeth, ("
the most intelligent member Of the
troupe, who is herself on view in the
Bois de Boulogne. The natives were
enticed TO the railway carriages, into
which they we're unceremoniously
packed. When they arrived at the
wharves at Cape Town they were 80
dazed that they allowed themselves to
be carried, like children, OH board the
steamboats,. The Hottentots, how
ever, have little to complain of in
Paris except the bad weather. The
men receive as pay E2 every month
and the women 30s., in English
money. On Sundays they are well
largessed by the crowds OF people
who flock to the garden to visit them,
and Mother Elizabeth, who takes care
TO put herself on evidence, and to
show that she is the most important
parsonage in the troupe, makes so
francs or $40, at the least, on such oc-
casions. Mother Elizabeth, however,
has formidable rival in the person Of
Jacob, the head man of the Hotten-
tot troupe, who is a mighty hunter
and has slain lion. The chief orders
the minor Hottentots about, and every
evening designates the cook for the
following day, the functionary Of the
kitchen having to rise at at o'clock
in order to chop wood, light fires and
make soup, which is composed of cof-
fee and salt. When they are at home
in Africa Herr Thege's troupe are not
particular as to what they eat. They
remain in state OF utter laziness un-
til they are hungry; then they start
up the trail, and eat anything they can
get, from a buffalo or cat TO toad.
Porcupines form their daintiest dish,
and lizards, bats, owls, and even
worms, are not despised. Mother
Elizabeth, the venerable Hottentot
dame, has two fingers cut off, to show
that she has been twice married.

Nos Drinking in Nature.

II was a hot. muggy evening. Whit
Whitman was standing at the bow of a
fcrry-boat just approaching the dock in
Philadelphia. He was wearing his slouch
hat pushed back from his forehead, and
his shirt was wide open at the front. A
travelling salesman, who knew the poet
we'll, approached and said: "Well. Mr..
Whitman, what are you doing here!'
The poet thew back his head, took .
long breath and gazed for q moment at
the stars that winked sleepy in the damp
night.
"I am drinking in nature" said he.
"Will you join met"
Thanks, no." said the drummer.

duce and sell this outside ore."
THE BEST POLICY.
Mr.. Hopkins declared the best pol-
icy was to pay no dividends, but for the
company to keep their reserve fund
IN hand until little more is seen OF
the future. He said that one dividend
Of fl3,500 had been paid during the
financial year 1887, and it is possible
that another one might be paid this
year.
The reports and accounts OF the d.
rectors were then adopted and votes
OF thanks to Mr.. Probert, the chair
man and directors were unanimously
passed and the meeting adjourned.
