Ex-Millionsire Keene Hopeful.
New York Commercial Advertiser.

James K. Keene, who cut so wide q
swath in Wall street several years ago, and
finally failed after many gigantic opera
tions. is again reported to have made a
great deal OF money by recent specula-
tions, and TO be hopeful of paying all his
debts with interest. This is what he de-
clared he would do at the time of bis tinan-
cial trouble; but hardly any one believed
he could ever redeem his promise. His
close friends feel sure that he will. If he
can get money enough for the purpose.
He is comparatively young Sc yet
has remarkable ability. nerve and deter
mination, and his pride and ambition are
to meet his obligations to the fullest. His
great ambition has, indeed, been the cause
of his ruin. He was credited with for
tune OF s., 600 600 when in San Francisco;
but he was anxious to leave Montgomery
street and come to Wall street. with the
purpose, 1t is said, of overthroWing Jay
Gould, one of the very few men who have
kept a1oat there. and continually pros
pered for quarter OF century.

METHODIsTs
THE CONFERENCE IS CLOSING.
History of observation-disclosures of
the Session-The Cry From
Macedonia, etc.

1.-THE first rise of Methodism," says
John Wesley, ''was in November, 1928
when four of us net together at Oxford
the second was at Savannah, in 1916; the
third at London, May Is, 1913.
The Methodist church proper took its
rise in 1879, within the church of Eng
land, through the labors of John Wesley
assisted by his brother Charles, John
Whitefield and others. AT its inception
the Wesleys had no thought of founding a
new denomination. their aim being rather
to bring about a revival of earnest piety
| within the established church which had
| grown very P~hariSaical in its practice and
| ~precepts, A bold theoretical religion and a
| cold Pelagian theology had driven practi-
| cal piety and Bible truth almost out of the
church and the pulpit was little else than
| a lecture roStrum. John WeSley's father
/ was a minister. JOhn and Charles were
| sent TO oxford and there they became i'm
! pressed with religion. The regularity of
their conduct and strictness of behavior
and general method attending all their
actions, attracted the attention of their
fellow students. who dubbed them
"Methodists." Two or three other young
men were drawn toward them and social
meetings were held. From this sprung
the church, through a long series OF Bit
ter warfares, prominent being the great
Calvanistic discussions, which nearly
wrecked the fate of both churches.
In the session of the Methodist confer
ence yesterday the reports OF pastors
were read and approved.
The announcement was made that the
christian Advocates st. Louis and
Kansas City, had consolidated.
Rev. DIR. Hayes, commissioner for the
Methodist church among the colored peO-
pie, addressed the conference on this
question, and a collection TO aid him,
S57.25 was raised.
After election and confirmation of ell
ders, DIR. j. V. Spring, president of the
West Texas Medical association, was in
troduced to the conference.
He said that he came for the purpose of
asking for the cooperation of the MethO-
dist ministry with the medical protest. on
in their efforts to secure proper legisla-
ton against quack doctors and their nos
trums. 1t is the desire of the medical as
sociations to petition the legislature for
the passage of an anti-quack law, and
they ask the assistance and endorsement
of the Christian ministry.
This cry from Macedonia produced no
apparent results.
The session this morning was taken up
with closing business.
A large party of prettily uniformed
young ladies arrived this morning from
the Coronal Institute of San Marcos.
The corner stone of the Methodist col
lege will be laid at $3.50 this afternoon at
West End, and the conference and the
pupils will attend.

JU DGE MAXEY should appoint Uni.
ted States supervisors, at all the pre-
cincts, to secure a fair and honest
election for congressman, but under
the plain terms of the federal law he
can appoint supervisors from the dem.
ocratic and republican parties, a.
these are the only parties having con
g~ressional candidates in the field. Ii
Is hardly necessary to say that the
United States supervisors of election
are only appointed where federal Off
GERS are to be chosen, and that mere
county factions, or parties, are not en-
titled to be represented by federal
supervisors at the polls, where they
have no candidate running for con-

Popping the Question.

Troy Times.
In another phase the question.
Shall women propose? has arisen
afresh. That eminent English apos-
tie of Darwinism, Alfred Russell
Wallace, noting the general elevation
which is a present characteristic of
the sex, opines that in the future
women will be able to exer-
else q considerable power of selec-
ton in marriage, and thus avoid
many of the i'll effects which, in the
scientific view. have come to the race
through the long exercise of the mas
culine p~rerogative of popping" The
Wallace argument simplified Is that
where the responsibility for propos-
ing rests wholly with the men very
many women, by all the pleasing
qualities of mind and body best fitted
to become mothers, have never even
SO much as q single sutton, and q sig
nal advantage to posterity has thus
been sacrificed. Prof. Wallace is Of the
belief that the feminine right to make
| in part her own. selection of q hus-
| band, which he fancies is q contin-
| gency not remote, will in q short
| time save the world from some of the
| most serious evils which threaten 1t.
| Whatever one thinks OF Prof. Wal
lace's theory, as q theory, it is very
| plain that the prospect he holds out
Is calculated to relieve q vast share
| of masculine embarrassment incident

| position and acceptance.
