THE great question in the Methodist
Episcopal Church just now is, shall wom-
en- have voice in the General Confer
ence? At the last General Conference
a woman lay delegate from one of the
Western States, asked to represent her
conference, but was refused. As wom-
en- have large majority in the Church
membership, it was deemed advisable
to submit the question to a vote of the
women of the Church, and accordingly
a vote will be taken in all the churches
sometime during the months of October
or November. Even though in the ma
jority there is no assurance that the
women's party will carry the election.
1t is barely possible that the masters of
creation will take a sly hand in the con-
test. The election in st. Clairsville
charge will occur October 90, from 2 to
Bpm.

In conclusion the American farmers,
constituting nearly one-half of our popu-

laws they are guaranteed against for

to sell their crops at fair prices and to
buy their implements and tools cheaper
than they can be bought in any other
country in the world.

DEATH oFU. s. JUSTICE MILLER.

DEATH of u. s. JUSTICE MILLER.
Justice Samuel Freeman Miller, of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
died on Monday night, from the effects
of stroke of paralysis, experienced by
him on Friday afternoon, as he was re-
turning from the court room TO his
home, and which Frustrated him upon
the street, as he was crossing the street
car track near his home. Justice Miller
was the senior Justice on the Supreme
Bench, having been appointed by Presi-
dent Lincoln, from Iowa, in 1862
He was born in Richmond, KY, April
5, 1916, to which point his father re-
moved from Pennsylvania a few years
earlier. He was, with the exception of
Justice Field, the sole remaining ap-
pointee of Mr.. Lincoln, and had been
longer on the Bench than any other
member of the present Court. He was
an eminent jurist, by common consent
outranking in judicial ability any of his
associates, and, in fact, was considered
by many good authorities, to have been
the ablest expounder of constitutional
law on the Bench since the time of Chief
Justice Marshall. His remains will be
removed to Keokuk, Iowa, for interment.

DREAMS.

Some tiny elves, one evening, grew mischiev.
Gus, IL seems,
And broke into the store-room where the
Sand man keeps his dreams,
And gathered up whole armfuls Of dreams
all bright and sweet,
And started forth to peddle them a.down the
village street.
oh, you would never, never guess how queer.
ly these dreams sold;
Why, nearly all the youngest folk bought
dreams OF being old;
And one wee chap In curls and kits a gentle
little thing,
Invested in a dream about an awful pirate
king;
maid, who thought her pretty name old
fashioned and absurd,
Bought dreams OF names the longest and the
queerest ever heard;
And, strange to say, lad, who owned all
sorts OF costly toys,
Bought dreams OF selling papers with the
raggedest of boys.
And then a dream OF summer and a barefoot
boy at play
Was bought up very quickly by q gentleman
quite gray;
And one old lady-smilIng through the grief
she tried to hide
Bought bright and tender visions Of a little
girl who died.
ragged little beggar girl, with weary. visit
full gaze,
Soon chose Cinderella dream, with jewels
all blaze
Well, IL wasn't many minutes from the time
they came in sight
Before the dreams were all sold out and the
elves had taken flight.

AN ORDERLY REVOLUTION.
The Peaceful Manner in Which Monarchy
Was Abolished In Brazil.

The Peaceful Manner in Which Monarchy
Was Abolished In Brazil.
Brazil, the only country of South
America which has long possessed a
stable government, concluded to dis
pense with the services of its constitu-
tional Emperor the other day and re-
public was accordingly declared. Good
Dom Pedro and his family submitted to
the new order of things without MUIR
muir. Being told that their presence in
Brazil might cause discord, they sailed
for Europe with the understanding that
they were never to return. Thus began
and ended what is perhaps the most
orderly revolution in history.
The peaceful manner in which slavery
was abolished in Brazil was not less re-
markable than was the orderly over
throw of Dom Pedro. The dire explo-
sion which slavery caused in the United
States furnishes a strange contrast to
the event in the South American coun.
try. The leaders of the people of Brazil
apparently are themselves guided by
reason rather than by passion. 1t is
useless to look elsewhere for a parallel
to the peaceful action of the people of
Brazil in the two instances mentioned.
For fifty years the public men in
Brazil have imbibed the political doc
trines of the Emperor. who was the
most liberal and most progressive of
rulers. During that time there have
been no reprisals among factions. Dom
Pedro has led them all forward to the
door of the republic, has opened it for
them, and then has stepped aside. No
other wearer of monarchical authority
can be compared with him as respecter
of the rights and wishes of his people
save the lamented Frederick III. of

AN INQUIsITIVE WOMAN.

The Questions with which She Piled .
Traveller from the East.
The fact that a woman has lived for
twenty years almost wholly isolated
from the civilized world may fairly be
held to excuse some eagerness of curios-
ity, and even some lack of politeness. A
traveller found such one on a mountain
top of the far West, fifteen miles from
the nearest town, and nearly hundred
from the nearest railroad. Her ''ole
man." as she called her husband, was
out prospecting when the traveller drew
rein before the log cabin and asked If he
could have dinner.
''Of course you kin-sech as It's" the
woman said, heartily, evidently delight
ed to have the dreary monotony of her
life broken. you won't git much-only
bar meat, and corn-dodgers, and some
coffee-but yer welcome to sech ez it's.

"Ishould, if it was me. You got their
pictur's with you?'
''Yes. Would you like to see them?"
Eyes, would; and your wife's too, if

The photographs were produced and

ELECTRICITY'S MIcROsE.
A Mystery Whose Solution VIII Revol,

A Mystery Whose Solution VIII Revolu.
tiOnize the Industrial World.
With all the paraphernalia of the
modern physical and electrical labora-
tory, the instruments of precision that
will handle milliOnth of an inch as
readily as laborer his pick and shovel;
with all the evolution going on through
generations of scientists, and the al
most incessant wrestling of secrets from
the bosom of nature, we doubt if science
is any closer to the isolation or attenua-
ton of the microbe of the magnet. It
is absurd to suppose that primary en-
ergy is impressed upon piece of hard
ened steel once for all. The transfer of
that energy inCo actual work would de-
stroy the magnetic power, yet such de.
struction not only does not take place.
but the very exercise of the power
strengthens the magnet. A horseshoe of
steel may be magnetized in ten seconds
by the current of few amperes from a
battery, ridicuously small amount of
energy all todd, and such mag
net can lift many pounds of
iron in contact. But without con.
tact it may lift and hold a
pound Of iron easily. 1t will hold that
pound for an eternity, and every second
Of that time without end the magnet Is
expanding energy until it foots ND an
almost uncomfortable total of actual
power. Not alone that, but the magnet
Of one pound lifting power to-day may
and will be stronger tomorrow
Where does all this really tremendous
amount of energy come from? BY what
inscrutable process does the mere mag
netization of bar of steel make of it a
machine for the transformation of ener-
gy? Not > Esactionary or storage device
which like steel spring, honestly gives
back approximately all it has recsiye1,
but perpetual transforming or convert
ing machine There is a hidden process go
ing on of some Kind; energy isgoing into
the magnet all the time :: is doing work
energy iR some form. Where does it
come from-gravity9 atmosphere? solar
rays? earth currents? Who can say? II
is great problem, worthy of Lifetime
Of ipdefatigable research. It is q
micrObe, and it gill be discovered, and
the discovery will make electricity the
queen of natures forces, and steam will
become dim vision Of the dark ages of
