CUMBERLAND, Md, March 10.-At the
Baltimore NJ. E. Conference Saturday
Mr.. H. B. Thurlow was announced for
eldership and passed well in his exami-
nation, which should have raised him to
a preacher had it not been for the objec-
ton of Rev. Mr.. Price, who said he had
heard Mr.. Thurlow was not adapted to
the ministry. From this remark grew a
heated discussion. Rev. George 6.
Baker, the presiding elder of the Fred
erick district, in which district Mr..
Thurlow's station is also located, took
the part of the youthful pastor, and said
he regarded him as worthy candidate.
When asked by member whether he
had heard anything about Mr.. Thurlow,
Mr.. Baker said: "Yes, have heard
that he, when in the company of girls,
was too frivolous, but may we not have
all been frivolous when of his age?"
This caused a roar of laughter in the
conference, which lasted for some time.
The discussion waxed hot, and was
stopped by Bishop Merrill calling for a
vote, which resulted against Mr.. Thur
low, and he was continued for another
year.

Several Thousand New Freight Cars Must
be Made.
BALTIMORE, March 8.-The executive
officers of the B. & o. have for some
time past been considering the advisa-
bility of making extensive additions to
the equipment of the road and it is ex-
pected that by the opening of the spring
orders will have been placed for many
new cars and engines. The addition of
the Philadelphia and New York branches
was not accompanied by great deal of
new equipment and the cars and engines
which have been used upon the new
routes had to be diverted in large part
from the general stock. The present
equipment of the company is about
$4,000 freight cars, many of which are
unfit for service, and are to be altered
in the company's shops. Several thous-
and new freight cars, the officials say,
could easily be put to use, and an addi-
ton of fifty new baggage and day
coaches must be made.

TWO CENTS A MONTH.
NET EARNING OF A SCRANTON COAL
MINER LAST MONTH.

Lack of Work in the Coal Mines for Sever
al Months Has Resulted in Much Desti-
Than a Dollar-Hundreds Earn Less
Than Eight-Organized Efforts to Re-
Iieve the Destitute in That Section
Now Being Made.
SCRANTON, March 10.-Lack of work
in the coal mines of this section for sew
eral months has resulted in much desti-
tuition among the miners of the Lacka-
wanna valley. All that one Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western miner earned
last month, after the price of his family's
coal had been deducted, was cents,
which he drew last week. A number of
others received less than 81, over and
above the price of the coal which the
company had furnished them during the
month. Hundreds of miners earned less
than So in February, and the outlook Is
not bright.
The Scranton poor board has been
giving outdoor relief to four times as
many poor people as it formerly did, and
the citizens have
Organized Relief Committee,
with one member in each of the twenty
one wards. A thorough canvass of
needy persons is being made in each
ward, and will all be supplied with the
necessaries of life as soon as possible.
Yesterday large store was opened on
Washington avenue for the receipt of
contributions of food and as headquar-
tiers for its distribution among the poor.
A flour fund was started few days ago,
and in two days nearly 200 barrels of
-four were contributed. Members of the
relief committee say that as far as they
have found those families who are the
most in need of immediate help are the
last to make their wants known.
Trainmen Suspended.
Owing to the light coal traffic the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad
company suspended 100 trainmen here
last week. Several conductors went
back to their old occupation of break
ing, and number of engineers to firing.
The company's payments of February
wages will be 100000 less than it paid
out last month, and the indications are
that the total payments next month will
be even smaller.

SHAKEN AS BY AN EARTHQUAKE.

Houses Settled Ten Feet and Terrified
People Ran Into the Streets.
WILKEsBARRE, March S.-The suburb
of Plymouth, known as Curry's Hill,
was shaken up as if by an earthquake
at o'clock yesterday morning. Houses
settled down about ten feet and the ter
rified people ran into the streets, clad in
their night clothes as they had been
aroused from sleep. The cave-in was
caused by the falling of the roof of
some abandoned colliery workings $50
feet below the surface. Several houses
were wrecked and some took fire from
overturned stoves, but were extinguished.

Shooting Canyasback.

The only proper way to kill canvas.
back ducks is to shoot them on the wing
as they fly over you. If you are muff
you will have lots of sport, and will not
hurt the ducks. You will blaze away at
them as they fly toward you, which is
precisely what 1, as lover of the species,
would best like you to do, unless you are
generous and are disposed to divide your
bag. So long as you shoot them in this
way only rare accident will enable you
to do any harm to the beautiful crea-
lures. They wear breastplate of feath-
ers which is practically impervious to
shot. II you are sportsman you will
let them fly over, and shoot them as they
recede.
"The fact that the ducks fly high and
are very swift of wing renders it diff
cult to kill them on the wing at all, and
as very few men are really good shots,
resort is had by the majority to such
blind shooting as is permitted. Bat
teries are, of course, forbidden, and so
are sneak boxes and the like. But it is
permitted to the half skilled sportsmen
to build blinds of reeds along the shore
and to shoot from behind them when the
ducks approach within range. In this
sort of shooting very little harm would
be done but for the fact that the canvas
back is beset with curiosity surprising
that of women.
''If he sees anything in motion on the
shore which he does not understand, no
consideration or prudence will restrain
him from padding at once towards it,
regardless of all danger, and the duck
shooters take advantage of this by train
ing little dogs to run about in frisky,
absurd fashion in front of the blinds
when ducks are in sight AS soon as
the ducks see what is going on the whole
flock makes for the shore, and the sports
men can shoot at what range they will.

HABITS of industry, attention, regu-
larity, order, obedience should be form
ed long before the child can understand
their import or know why they should
be practiced. Gradually he will come
to see their value, and will continue to
observe them from other and better mo-
tives which at first could have no effect.
Just as we teach him to walk or to read,
so good moral habits must be formed by
the same process if the character is ever
to acquire stability and strength.
