the question of lay representation
equaling clerical representation in

B. Mann, formerly of this Conference
SAID I'VE are bound to trust the
layman, as we are in their
power. 1t is mistake to say they
are incompetent to make good laws
for the church, and l mean to saw
that the preachers are the ones who
In conterance have legislated badly.
Layman represent the majority.
Speaker Reed did noble act for the
United States when he set his foot
on minority legislation. A new era
will arrive in the Methodist church
when the majority makes the rules"
SEND THE MONEY BACK.-A cur
rent newspaper paragraph is to the eff.
feet that the vile of Judge Andrews.
one of the judges of the New York
Supreme Court, has sent $3.50 as gift
to the Delaware National Guard Com
pany known as the Cooper Guards Of
Dover. Mrs. Andrews is the woman
who whipped a divorce for herself
through the last Delaware Legisla-
ture. in order to marry her present hus-
band.
lfit is true that she has sent $3.50 to
the Cooper Guards the gift was proba-
bly, designed as a token Of gratitude
for favOrs received. If she had sent
S25O,OOO to the state treasury it would
not wipe of the disgrace put upon the
state of Delaware by coming here from
another state TO secure conditions
which she could not secure at home
it would only emphasize the disgrace
of using Delaware as a mere cOnVen-
ience for divorce purpOses.-Morning
NeWs.
The GROOM DID Nor ARRIVE
Cards were issued some time ago for
the wedding of an only daughter of a
prominent farmer of this county, to
Veasy Webb of Mt. Pleasant, a short
distance above Middletown.
The ceremony was fixed for Wednes-
day evening, March 18th, at the ap-
pointed time about 40 Oguests assembled |
and Rev. Mr.. Anderson, pastor of Pen
cader Presbyterian Church, was pres
ent to prefOrm the ceremony. The
groom did not arrive however. 1t was
believed that some accident had pre-
vented his appearance, but no word !
was received from him.
The young lady is particularly |
handsome blonde of Is years and only |
daughter. She was greatly attached |
to Webb, who had been paying her at
tentiOn for eighteen months. She is
said to be nearly heartbrOken. Webb |
is about % years of age and the son of
u prominent resident of Mt. Pleasant. |
