Hon,iiy ON the Ham

The modern ham may be justly
ranked as the perfection of the pig.
The barbaric pig wandering about
through fences and roofing up the
garden is pork in it's wild state,
Pork greasy and vulgar is the next
step, but the sugar-cured, aesthetic
ham which delights the epicurean
stomach, is the last gIorification.
Ham reached its perfection in
New England, where it hung for
weeks III the smoke house slowly
embodying the aromatic odor of the
birch and chestnut sawdust,
until taste Of it recalled the de-
lightful scenes OF the old New Eng
land forest with its mingled colors
and odors OF autumn. A good
Judge of ham has to have more
delicate taste and ripper experience
than the connoisseur of wines. The |
ham lover, also, is a sober, indus
,rious man, trusty in all things.
When you want good ham ask your
grocer for 'tie Capital, made by
4irdley & Co., Sacramento.

The Methodist General Conference Labor

The Methodist General Conference Labor
ing on the Question of Their Admis-
sion.
New YORK, May 4-Bishop E. G.. An
drews presided at yesterdays session OF
the Methodist conference. The order OF
the day was the discussion of the adverse
report of the committee upon the eligibility
of women as lay delegates to the confer
ence.
Rev. DR.. Pendleton, of Kansas, was the
first to gain the floor. and he moved that
the women whose seats were contested
should be given seats ON the floor during
the debate. To this Rev. DR.. Neely, of
Philadelphia, objected. Rev. c. F. Creigh-
ton, of Nebraska, spoke in favor of the
motion. After considerable discussion the
motion was lost
When the vote was beng taken Mrs.
Mary c. Mind, of Minnesota, president of
the Women's Foreign Missionary Society,
stood up to vote. Objection was made and
her vote was not counted.
Rev. Dr. Potts, editor of the Michigan
Adyocate, who is deaf, was given permission
to open the debate. He advocated the ad-
mission of the women as delegates. He
wanted to plead for right over might.
There wa no decision as to whether ''lay
delegates" meant men only. More than
two-thirds of the members of the Church
were women. Without women one-half OF
the churches would cease to exist.
Women could not be left cut without harm
to the Church. The speaker was loudly
applauded not only by the ladies and
others in the auditorium, but by the dele
gates as well.
Rev. William Brush. of Dakota, made a
long and earnest plea in favor of the ad-
mission of women, and Rev. DIR. Theodore
F. Flood, editor of the Chautauquan, fol-
lowed on the same side. He argued that
rs women were admitted to the learned
professions and to practice in the Supreme
Court OF the United States, the conference
had right to admit them.
Rev. j. Fl. Buckley, editor of the Chris
ian Advocate, who was one OF the strongest
opponents Of the admission of woman, was
the next speaker. He SAID that the ques-
ton did not turn upon the right of woman,
but upon principle. Epscopalians, Bap-
lists and Presbyterians did not admit
women into their conferences and there
was not denomination in the world that
would admit women. There was nothing
in the constitution OF the Church that gave
them the right to seats. The speaker said
he stood to champion the holy cause Of the
women but also stood to champion the
right Of women to representation in body
until member of their sex had an oppor-
tunlty to express an opinion on the sub
ject. He claimed that every time woman
was put in legislative body man was
put oat to no advantage Of that body.
A dozen members of the conference from
all parts of the country took opposite views
on the question, and further discussion
went over.

The Conductor Badly Beaten.
CHICAGO, May 4.-After Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy freight engine and two
cars, late last night, had passed the
switch entering the Louisville, New AL
bany & Chicago yards, some unknown
miscreant threw switch and the next
fifteen cars were derailed and piled up in
a hopeless wreck in the ditch just as
the switch was thrown man near the
rea. OF the train threw tie on the track,
Wrecking the last three cars. At the
same time a car OF dope, an int1ammable
material used for oiling wheels, which was
in the center Of the train was set on fire.
It blazed up and speedily the flames
spread to adjoining cars. The Lake fire
engines responded to an alarm and the
flames were extinguished without the de-
struction of any car but the original. The
wrecked train was strung along the tracks
for nearly half a mile, three of the four
tracks being completely blockaded. just
after the wreck occurred policeman found
the conductor of the train, James A Ed
wards, lying near the tracks at Forty fifth
street badly bruised and nearly insensible.
When revived he said three men had
boarded his caboose at the Thirty seventh
street crossing and attacked him. He was
beaten over the head with some instrument
and his papers and valuables taken, and
then he remembered nothing more until he
was found by the police. The doctors think
he can not live, he having sustained inter
nal injuries, besides terrible beating
about the head. The police have arrested
Chicago & Atlantic engineer named
Daniel Harmon, who was found lurking in
the vicinity and he was booked for carry
ing concealed weapons. The crew OF the
wrecked train was made up entirely OF new
men who had been working since the strike
hapan.

Nefarious Work of Waiter Delacour at
Wichita, Kan.

NefariOuS Work of Walter Deiacour at
Wichita, Kan.
WICHITA, Kan, May 5.-The disappear
ance OF Walter Delacour became generally
known yesterday, and his prominence as
an attorney and in society giving him a
large number of acquaintances and friends
caused the information to be received
with great surprise, and was the subject
of much comment. The fact of his
disappearance brought out increased
information as to the cause OF his
late actions. Doing loan business for
Eastern firms he would get applicants to
sign blank mortgages and notes, claiming
that by this means he could get the money,
and the mortgages would be fully written
when the money arrived for the applicant.
He would then go to the register Of deeds
Office, find out all the property owned by
the applicant, insert it in the mortgage
and get the money but would not deliver
it to the applicant
Mrs. Martin, widow, is one of the
victims, her home, the only real estate
she has, being fraudulently mortgaged for
$1,000. 1t is stated on good authority that
Delacour defrauded the Lombard Mortgage
Company of small amount, that the COM
pany is offering a reward for his arrest
and has employed detectives to give the
matter personal attention. he came here
from Baltimore.
