them Messrs. Il. 7. Fishburne, C. w. G..
Woolwine, Major Pattie, Capt. A. D..
Rico and Rev. C. II. Buchanan, of
Greene Memorial Church.
The ministers and lay brethren were
directed to Greene Memorial Church,
where they were met by those who are
to entertain them, and taken to their
homes.
Bishop Hendrix camo over the Nor
folk and Western from the east and was
met by Mr.. II. II. Bishburnc, whose
guest he will be during the conference.
Mr.. Fishburne's carriage was near the
depot and the bishop was driven &c his
elegant home.
The ministers that crowded tho side
walks between the depot and the church
for some time may have found the mud
disagreeable, but ere twilight fell they
were in cozy rooms in the homes of
many Roanoke Methodists and good
people of other denominations, and be-
fore the evening services sat down to
elegant suppors, Notwithstanding the
advance in the price of chickens in con-
sequence of the approach of the confer
ence
Bishop Hendrix will call the con-
fero nee to order this morning at o
o'clock in the auditorium Of the church.
Tho following is brief sketch of his
life:
Bishop Eugene r. Hendrix was
born in 1877 in Fayettc county. Mo.
His early educational training was re-
ceivcd at Central College, and in 1867
he graduated from Wesleyan University.
He graduated from the Theological
Seminary of New York in 1860 and
entered the Missouri Conference, where
no served several important charges.
lie was the companion of Bishop Mar
vim in his trip around the world and
witnessed the organization of the first
conference of the church in China. He
was we'll known to thousands of MeGho-
dists before his election to the Episco-
pacy, through Bishop Marvin's interest
ing work ''To the East by Way of the
West" lie has himself written his i'm
pressions of his travels that make q
very attractive work.
After his return from this tour Of the
world he was elected to the presidency
of Central College, which place he oc-
cupied when he was elected bishop by
the General Conference in 1856.
lie was the youngest man ever elected
to the Episcopacy of the Southern Meth
odist Church, being only 80 years of age.
Perhaps it was his successful manage
ment of the centenary celebration of
Methodism in 1884, as chairman of the
committee of arrangements. that brought
him so prominently before the church,
resulting in his elevation to the place
he now occupies.
Bishop Hendrix is very scholarly
man and a powerful and eloquent
preacher, as we'll as an admirable pre-
siding officer. He is short, stout man
with handsome face and piercing dark
eyes.

British Officer Predicts n Conflict Be
tween John Bull and Uncle Sam.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, March O.-[Speciall-
a Montreal special quotes an officer Of
the British navy as saying there is more
significance to be attached to the ap-
preaching visit of Lord Wolseley to
Canada than is generally believed.
Wolseley will at once proceed to the
Pacific coast with General Herbert and
inspect the defenses of British Column
bia and the naval yard esquimalt He
Will remain at Victoria until tho United
States give the ulitmatum with regard
to tho Boring sea question.
The officer said: II would not be sur
prised to find Great Britain and tho
United States at war before the year is
out. The British government has been
remaining quiet in view of tho prob
ability of the Liberal party in Canada
getting into power, through whom Lord
Salisbury believed moro satisfactory
settlement of tho matters Of dispute
could have been reached than through
the administration of Sir John Mac
Donald, whose policy has been more in
the direction of intensifying hostilitics
than of etfecting reconciliation
In conclusion he said that the action
about British dock yards clearly showed
that England is preparing to be ready
for any emergency.

Contrary to their huge rivals in in

age. Richebourg, who died in Paris in
1858, was ninety years. ld.-He was
only twenty-three inches high, some
thing less than the stature of our OWE
most celebrated dwarf, General Tom
Thumb. The first English dwarf OF
whom there is authentic record was only
II feet high till thirteen years of age,
though he afterward attained the height
of 8 feet o inches. This was Jeffrey

Hudson on hat occasion surprised the

1t is a well known scientific fact that a
ruler made of hard rubber or gutta pe-cha
may be so charged with electricity by
friction with n wooden cloth that it will
cause to be attracted to it small pieces of
paper. This fact has been made use of
in a machine devised to pick up separate
ly single sheets of thin and light materi-
al, like paper, light fabrics, etc, in such
a manner that each sheet may be re-
moved and examined. This machine
consists of a roller formed of a substance
capable of being charged with electricity
and a roller covered with fur, which is
rotated at high speed.
During the operation the electrified
roller approaches the pile of paper by the
action of an eccentric, and attracts the
upper sheet, the next sheet below being
repealed by the well known law of cleo
tricity. The first sheet now falls upon a
continuance which is inserted in the
meantime between the pile and the de-
tached sheet, and can be easily removed
or fed into n ruling machine, if desired.
