Don't Want the Women Around.

New YoRK.-Bishop E. 6. Andrews pre-
sided at the Thursday mornings session
of the Methodist conference. The order
of the day was the discussion of the re-
port of the committee upon the eliglbil-
ity Of women as lay delegates to the con-
ference. The committee yesterday re-
ported against their admission.
Rev. De. PendletOu, of Kansas,
moved that women whose seats are con-
tested be given seats on the floor during
the debate. Objections were raised, and
after considerable discussion the motion
was lost. When the vote was being
taken Mrs. Mary G. Mind, OF Min
nesota, president of the women's
foreign missionary society, stood up
to vote. Upon objection the vote was re-
iected. Lengthy speeches followed pro
and con upon the report of the commit
tee. Rev. j. II. Buckley, editor Of the
Christian Advocate, and one OF
the strongest opponents of the
admission of women, said that the
question does not turn upon tho
rights of women, but upon the principle.
The pisoopalians, Raptists, end Presby-
terians did not admit women into their
Conferences and there was no denom1na-
ton in the world that would admit women
There is nothing in the constitution of
the church that gives them the right TO
seat. Tie speaker said he stood to
champion the holy cause of the women,
but LIE also stood to challenge
the right of women to representa-
ton on tha body until a member of
their sex had the opportunity to express
an opinion on the subject. The speaker
claimed that every time woman was
put in that legislative body, man was
put out 10 no advantage to that body.
A dozen members of the conference from
all parts of the country took decided
views on the question. Further
discussion of the subject weHt over until
TO morrow. The whole afternoon was
spent in the appointment of standing
and their organizations.

The English Heir Apparent Said to COntem-

There is a rumor about London, which

The Prince of Wales is reported to
actually contemplate a visit to America
next year in com any with the Duke of
Sutherland. If he does it is to be hoped
American ladies will do all they can tor
him. He has already treated them very
kindly over here. In order to gain in ad-
vance friendly feelings of the stricter
element in society it may be we'll to
to state that the Prince is very particu-

demands that all his guests at Sanrig ham
shall attend IL O'Clock service in the lutte

a BILL which has passed the Senate and
is now pending in the House of Repre-
sentatives provides much needed legis-
lation for the Yellowstone National Park.
Existing laws are utterly insufficient to
protect and preserve the forests and
the game OF this great national reser-
walton; ans there is great danger if steps
are not promptly taken by the passage of
some such measure as that referred to
that irreparable injury will be done to
the park. The destruction of the forests
will not only deprive the park of one Of
It's chief beauties, but will endanger the
water supply and turn the park into q
desert. 1t will destroy also the refuge
for the game which ought to be preserv,
ed, not only in the interest of sport but
Of science as well.

JUDGE L. BRADFORD PRINCE, formerly
governor of New Mexico, feels moved to
correct the deLogatory statements made
about the territory in the course of OPP
posing its admission as state. He says
Mormon population is scanty and not
of the slightest political weight, and as
for the future, the Spanish population
are wholly opposed to Mormonism. The
Spanish are increasing, and now number
100000, and Judge Prince describes them
as the solid and conservative element, the
Americans contributing the politicians
and the rowing class, who give the terri
tory bad name which it does not de-
serve. New Mexico has been part of the
United States for over 40 years; the
people have never known any other
government, save few OF the oldest, not
now in active life; a state constitution
has been formed which is "a model OF
excellence" Her past history justifes
confidence. Few states during the civil
war put into the field Cor the Union SO
large percentage of its men; ''while the
older inhabitants from lack of oppOrtun-
ity are largely illiterate, yet as voters they
viii come up to the average of the coun-
try in intelligence and honesty" and the
children are being schooled better than
those of most of the states. And Judge
Prince says that "after 40 years Of terri
torial tutelage, while she does not noisily
demand statehood, she yet feels that if
any territory is 60 be admitted, she
should be the first" However that may
be, we do not hesitate to say that she
ought TO get new name. New" Mexico
is really as bad as "North" and south
Dakota, only that use has hardened US to
it. All three should be remanded to
"tutclage" until their inhabitants have
the sense to get independent names. We
have as many monstrosities as We want
already.

Why the Boy Goes Wrong.
New York Letter.

The YER wealth is at the root Of it all.
The boy = INDUCED in money and the
disposition of his time. He plays bill
lizards and cards all night, smokes cigar
cites immediately, drinks whisky In pro-
portion, INDUCES in other pastimes and
vices, and brides the servants to lie about
his coming and goings at home. The
father, engrossed in large affairs fre-
quently has young drunkard sitting OPP
of the fact, and the mothers love Is too
blind TO observe. The boys health Is
damaged; his morals strangled and his
pocket mortgaged. He gets into all sorts
Of scrapes that he is ashamed of, until fin
aIIy one more outrageous than usual, and
perhaps with female attachment, drives
him, With a mind weakened by debauch-
cry, to despair. Then he shoots himself,
and hes usually drunk when he does it.

Mr.. GIadstOne's London House
New York Tribune.

Mr.. Gadstone's London house is near
Buckingham gate. 1t is il the old-not
the new fangled-Queen Anne style, and
the drawing room windows overlook
parade-grounds of the Wellington bar
racks. Mr.. Gladstone likes spending a
few moments now and then watching the
soldiers go through their drill. The en-
trance hall is square and roomy, paneled,
as is the staircase, with the Chippendale
carving, and lighted by stained glass
windoW. In 1t are & few reproductions
OF the Autotype gallery and large
picture of the entrance to Alexandria
which must recall to the ex-premier
eacu time he enters the house one of
the most unpleasing "reminiscences of his
official life. The dining room is on the
ground floor, and is of somewhat restrict
ed Dimensions. Above it is the drawing
room, which is long, charming room.
In one corner is portrait of Mr.. Glad
stone painted by Watts, and in the mid
die window is placed Mrs. Gladstone's
writing table. It is smut in by a screen
on which hang portraits of her husband
and younger son. The room in which
Mr.. Glads one works is at the back of the
house, and is in consequence free from
all noise. Not even the sound of pass
ng cab wAee l can break in on his quiet.
