Sir: In The Tribune Of May you quote Bishop
Walden saying: "Methodism has done more than
any other form Of Christianity TO secure to women
the prominent place they now have" etc. In your
paper OF Mas 4 you report Dr. Buckley saying:
"At the time that the original plan of a delegation
adopted there not single organized church
on this side of tho GLOBE not that distinguished
between the ministry and tho Iaity, that allowed
women to take any part in its law making"
Tho Friends or Quaker branch of the Christian
Church have always accepted the statement Of the
Apostle Galatians iii. %. There is neither maid
nor female, for ye all one In Christ Jesus ~
part of the dviney inspired word of God, and have
conformed their church pollty to IT, I quote from
their Discipline the following all-comprehensve and
explicit clause: The rights and privileges Of nom

NEW YORK, March 15.-The stock mark ct
was again very d Ill and for the most part
feverish and irregular, with narrow fiuctua-
tons of no special significance. The gen
erel tendency was downward during the
latter part of the day. 1t was traders
marker, lack OF telegraphic communication
and a slim attendance at the board leaving
transactions on their bands There was
some European buying on II orders in the
early trading, but very little new business
Of that character ives transacted. The buy
lug, however, caused some advance in the
market, The traders. however, soon BEG on
to sell long stock, and later in the day re-
port was started that the Atchison engi-
neets would strike to-day, which induced
selling for and pressure most marked in
the grangers. The opening WAS extremely
dull, but steady. Under the lead of Lacka-
wanna and New England some strength was
mantle ssed during the forenoon, but after
that declining became noticeable and late
in the day the pressure on the grangers
sagged the list off ana most OF the stocks re-
tired to below the opening figures A slight
rally in the last few minutes, however,
closed the market firm, though at about the
lowest prices,

Worth Knowing,


Mr.. W. II. Morgan, merchant, Lake
City, Fla, was taken with severe Cold,
attended with distressing Cough and
running into Consumption in its first
stages. He tried many so-called popu-
lar cough remedies and steadily grew
worse. Was reduced in flesh, had diff
Guilty in breathing and was unable TO
sleep. Finally tried DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption and found
immediate relief, and after using
about half dozen bottles found himself
well and has had no return of the dis
ease. No other remedy can show so
