GENERAL CONFERENCE
OF Methodists Still Discussing the
Woman Question.
NEW YORK. MAY

NEW YORK, May 4.
Bishop c.. ID. Foss of St. Paul, Mo-, pre-
sided at today's session of the general con-
ference of the Methodist church.
The order of the day was report of the
committee on the eligibility of women as
lay delegates to the conference
A large audience was present. The de-
bate wa. opened by Rev. DIR. A. S. Leonard
of the Cincinnati conference.
An effort was made to pass q resolution
closing the debate at eleven o'clock but
failed.
DIR. Leonard began by saying that he hal
received a number of anonymous letters ask
ing him not to speak in favor of admitting
women. He was strong advocate of the
rights of women and replying to DIR, Buck
ley's speech of Thursday, he cited the laws
of the church and argued that they favored
the women's side of the case. He said that
certain nsmuations in the address of the
Bishop were surprising. Women have heen
regarded as laymen from the beginning 1t
was understood in 1872 when it WAS agreed
to admit lay members to the conference that
the door was open for the admission of wom-
en-.
DR.. Leonard closed by saying that if wom
en- were not recognized they should not be
allow ed to vote for lay delegates.
Rev John Wiley, President of the Drew
Theological Seminary of the New York
Conference. spoke against the admission OF
women He said that if the laws of the
church were properly interpreted they would
prove that women are not eligible, and be-
Jies no one wanted them in the general
conference. Ii the question were submitted
to the women in the church, nine out of
every ten would vote against it.
Rev J. b. Day of the New lork Confer
enoe argued against the admission of women,
II was proposed to make one of the most
stuuendous innovations in legislation that
has ever been known in Christendom, Wom-
en- has not necessarily experience. II she
is admitted she should come in as an added
force and rot as a weakening force.
The following speakers advocated the
vomen's side: Gen. $. ii. Hurst, Ohio;
Leslie NJ. Shaw Des Moines; Rev DIR. l. X
Fiske. president of Albion College, Michi-
gan I he following opposed the admission
of women: Rev. DIR. Rothnieiter, of the
Central German conference: Prof I. j.
Little, of syracuse University; DIR. Day, OF
New York; Rev. John Graham of Troy.
Governor Lounsbury. of Connecticut, moved
that the question of the eligibility OF womea
be suspended until next Monday noon, when
il should he settled by vote. DIR. Buckley
of New York. seconded the motion. Then
follow ed a perfect babel of voices, many
members arising TO a point of order. After
oaiet was restored the hour for adjournment
expired and the presiding bishop adjourned
the conference.

Owing to the bad condition of the ground
the observance of Arbor Day here was post.
poned for one week.-Harvey Cross, SIS,
manager of the college nine, is now confer
ring with the managers of the Bowdoin and
Colby teams and if satisfactory arrangements
can be made Bates will undoubtedly play
her part Of the games in the college series
The lateness Of the season has prevented the
players from getting upon the grounds until
this week for much needed practice. The
first game was played Wednesday with the
Lewiston High School. which resulted I to 4
for Bates. An unusual interest in the ma
tional game is manifested here this spring
and nearly all the students, including mauy
of the ladies wish to see the Institution well
represented upon the diamond this season.
The faculty also seem to look upon base
ball with favor. They subscribed literally
towards the clubs new uniform. 1t can
hardly be hoped though that Bates can stand
very higa in the league this year as she has
not been in the field for two years. A very
good second nine has been formed from the
Latin School and college players to practice
the first nine. The college nine will be
made up about as follows; Fred Daggett,

What is this "nervous trouble" with which
SO many seem now to be afflicted2 If you
will remember few years ago the word
Malaria was comparatively unknown-to-day
it is as common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only the mean
ing of another word used by our fore-fatbers
in times past So it is with nervous diseases
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfsthers called Biliousness, and
all are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in per-
forming its functions finding it cannot dispose
of the bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the system
causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bilious
Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well
appreciate cure. We recommend Green's
August Flower. Its cures are marvellous.
