LIKELY MEN IN NEWARK CONFERENCE
Tho Newark Conference meets In Hobohen at the
same time ~ tho New-Yo Conference. Bishop Fowler
will conduct It. Tho lay delegation Is thought, VIII
be Chancellor Theodore Runyon. Of Newark, and
James McGce, OF Panfed, formerly president OF the
Produce Exchange in this city. The Rev. Dr. James
NJ Fitzgerald, secretary Of tho Methodist Missionary
society, and President Eenry A Buttz, OF Drew Theo-
logical Seminary. both Of whom are spoken OF for
Bishops Will be- on the clerical delegation. DR.. Sol
omon Parsons, tho cll-known PrOhlbionlst OF Pat
erson the Rev Dr. Alexander Craig, president OF the
Methodist Preachers association, aud the rev. Dr.
James B. Faulkcs, OF Paterson VIII have places on
tho delegation. m,
The question OF women delegates has not been dis
cussed seriously In these conferences AS there arc
only lay delegates In each and so many prom'hHnI
Iaymen fill those places the chances Tor tho women
arc small Those women most prominent are largely
identified with their husbands In the Chnrch WORK
In tho New York Conference, however, the name OF
Mrs Skdmore has been talked Of and In the New fork
Fast that of Mrs Joseph IL Knapp. Many OF tho
we'll known oicers of the Church retain their
ton with their old conferences In other parts OF tho
country. Thus the Rev. Dr. s. H. Vincent whose
Office IS in tho Methodist Publishing House, IN brosu-
way, has been elected a delegate to The Genorsi CON
ference by his constituents In ROCK RIVER, III JOIN

BERLIN CABBx,s FARE.
An American Girl whose Hips were
 Rifed tn Peculiar Fashion,

From the New York Tribune.l
 American girls who live abroad unchaper- oned are often subjected to indignities of a startling kind. It is not usual, however, that 8 cabman furnishes material for & gossipy story; yet one young woman has had an ad- venture with man of this class which she will not soon forget. She is the daughter of an prominent politician who has held many offices of distinction, and is spending the season in Berlin. Calling carriage ill the early hours of the morning after a brilliant ball, the young woman started home. It is customary in Berlin when sending a girl home in a cab, to require ticket, which the jehu is compelled to give, upon which are his number and the price of the trip and which in case of any accident, can be used in evidence. The escort of the American girl had neglected this The journey led through lonely part of the Thiergarten, where, even in daytime, people seldom walk. When in the darkest corner the cab suddenly stopped the driver descended from his box opened the door and thus addressed the young lady; f'Miss, I have often heard that . kiss from the high ladies tastes better than one from our people, and am going to know for myself"
 With that he stretched out his hands cov- cred with their buckskfn gloves clasped the girl around the neck and drew her. scream ing toward him. Resistance was impossible her cries were unheard and the coachman's touched her own. With the aggravating remark, ''Not bit!" he closed the door and continued the journey assisting his victim to alight when the destination was reached The young lady rushed into the house, not waiting to pay her fare and spent hours scrubbing her lips. She had no means of identifying the scondrel and escaped unPun- ished

CHRISTMAS. That Christmas comes hnt onoa a year


 That Christmas comes but once year is the worst thing about it to the children, and quite comfort to the fathers and mothers who tire themselves out in making it @ happy day. It is here again, to be enjoyed, in the homes, in the churches, in the hospit- als, in the prisons-wherever the blessednees of giving and receiving is felt. It makes little difference what the day may be, dark or bright. It will be pleasant day where it can be made so. For little while even those who are much troubled and cast down will feel the influences of the day and of those to whom it is time of pure delight The young, the middle aged and the old will join in nerrymaking. Song and mirth, eating and drinking and family reunions will help make the day 8 cheerful and memorable one.
 The lesson of Christmas, even to those who do not think deeply about it, is a very beneficial one. It is good thing to have the heart warmed, to give and receive gifts, and to make merry. It is a good thing to feel and share in the general spirit of kind- ness and good will which prevails at this time. It is good thing to remember the poor and to do something toward making their poverty less heavy to bear, if but for day. And it is good thing to have the mind turned, by the Christmas celebra- tion, toward the reason for it-that reason which is cause for solemn thankfulnsss as we'll as generous and light-hearted merry making

A CHRISTMAS PLEA FOR THE RICH
By Charles Dudley Warner.
 From the Hartford Times.1


 Christmas is supposed to be an altruistic festival. Then, if ever, we allow ourselves to go out to others in sympathy expressed by gifts and good wishes. Then self-forgetfu1- ness in the happiness of others becomes temporary fashion. And we fnd-do we nots the indulgence of the feeling SO re- munerative that we wish there were other days set apart to it. We can even under- stand those people who get private satisfac- tion in being good on other days besides Sunday. There is 8 common notion that this Christmas altruistic sentiment is partie- ularly shown towards the unfortunate and the dependent by those more prosperous, and in what is called better social position. We are exhorted on this day to remember the poor. We need to be reminded rather to | remember the rich, the lonely, not-easy- to be-satisfied rich, whom we do not always I have with us. The writer never sees a very rich person that he does not long to give ! him something, some token, the value of which is not estimated by it's cost, that should be consoling evidence to him that he has not lost sympathetic touch with ordi- nary humanity. There is 8 great deal of sympathy afloat in the world, but it is espe- | eially shown downward in the social scale. | We treat our servants s-supposing we are SO | ciety-better than we treat each other. If l we did not they would leave us. We are kinder to the unfortunate or the dependent | than to each other, and we have more charity \ for them.
 The writer is not indulging in any indis-

PROHIBITION,

The performances of some of the prohibi-
 tionists are attracting attention. One of
 them the other night at meeting in New
 York said: ''Before Almighty God to-
 night. and in the court of common sense, I
 impeaeh Dr. Howard Crosby as & double
 dyed traitor to his God, to his church and to
 the American nation" He indulgsd in this
 merely because Rev. Dr. Crosby, who is q
 strong advocate of temperance, said before
 the excise commission that for one hour on Sunday he would allow the beer drinkers to
 obtain supplies of their beverage through an aperture to be made in the doors of the beer shops. Dr. Crosby has striven by every practicable means to restrict the sale of beer on Sunday, and to prohibit altogether the retailing of spirituous liquors.
 The self lf-complscency with which the pro- hibitionists arrogase to themselves all the piety there in in politics leads the Indianap-
 oils Journal to say that it reminds old 1 settler of 8 remark made by the late Bishop Ames in a sermon soon after the war. He 1 said: ''God is never in hurry in his works. | The eternities are his, while man must do his | work in a hurry, or it will never be done, for | ne mas put Q B1OFG bLIuO Dc1OI0 bAo AAkue I oomsth wherein no man can work" Look ! ing at it in this light, the old settler con l cludes that prohibition, through distinct | party, is Gods plan, for, said he, it is just | nineteen years since the first organization of
 the party, and it has already reached 2.O2 per cent of the vote of the nation, though | it has not reached quite per cent. of the vote of Indiana, in the eighteen years since it's | organization. Evidently it is inching along l in Ged's plan, taking at least one eternity to
 reach it's consummation, or something near | an eternity. Meanwhile it has not closed a saloon nor carried single State or county :, l or even precinct, while the other fellows those on the other side, the whisky side
 have obtained effective prohibition in three States, local option in thirteen States, and restrictive legislation in every State has be- come more and more restrictive, while the ! judicial decisions, from the Supreme court of the United States to the lowest State court, have more and more favored restric- | tive laws.
