WESLEY'S DISCIPLES.
Representatives of All Branches OF
Methodism to Meet in
A. GREAT ECUMENICAL COUNCIL.
Twenty-Five Denominations Of Two Conti-
tinents to Assemble
FOR DISCUSSION, NOT FOR ACTION

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-To-morrow the
Ecumenical Methodist Council will begin
its sessions in this city. Once before in the
history of the Church, founded 150 years
ago in England by the Wesley brothers,
have the branches springing off from the
parent stock come together, and, laying
aside all differences, listened to the sugges-
tions of the best men of all divisions and
sought to find means to promote the COM
mon cause. That was in London 10 years
ago, and so fruitful was the seed then sown
that it was resolved to reassemble for con-
ference at the expiration of every decade.
The council which convenes here to-mor-
row is, therefore, the second in the history
of the Methodist Church. All denomina-
tions and branches of this great church in
all parts of the world will be represented
by 500 delegates. No less than 200 of these
are expected to come from the British
division, the Oldest wing of the Methodist
church, including in its ranks, besides
ecclesiastical dignitaries. many statesmen
of renown and men of worldwide scientific
and legal ability. There will also be dele
gates, representing II distinct branches of
Methodism, from France, Australia,
Ireland, South Africa and the West Indies
there will be 800 delegates from the New
World. They represent II branches of the
Methodist Church in this continent. So %
divisions of the Methodist Church will be
represented in the council.
Among the American church men are
many bishops. Among the English there
are none, as the Office is unknown to them.
This council, like its predecessor, is to be
confined to discussions. From its nature
there can be no legislation. No delegate or
organization Will be bound by what is said
or done here. The animating purpose is to
bring out the brightest and most practicable
ideas of the most thoughtful and wisest rep
resentatives of the church, and the applica-
tion of these ideas will be left to the dis
cretion of the separate divisions.
The most radical differences to be noted
between the coming council and the one
held in London is revealed in the list of
subjects selected for discussion. Whole
days are set apart for the consideration of
questions relating to temperance, education,
missions, Romanism and social problems,
the issues between capital and labor, the re-
and practical church work.
Two hundred delegates from foreign
churches have arrived, and it is expected
that all of the delegates to the conference
will be in the city tomorrow. Tonight the
four permanent Secretaries of the confer
ence were chosen by the Business Commit
tee. They are the Rev. J. NJ. Kind, D. D.,
of New York; Rev. E. B. Ryckman, d. D.,
of Ottawa; Rev. John Bond, of London,
and Thomas Shape, of Liverpool.

BERNHARDT IN A STORM.
She Took the Drenchings Of Old Neptune
With Screams of Delight.

She Took the DrenchIngs of Old Neptune
With Screams of Delight.
Some queer stories are told of Sarah
brought her to San Francisco. One after
noon when great waves were breaking over
the ship Bernhardt came from her room at
tired in loose white wrapper. For half an
hour she clung to the rigging, her hair tossed
by the gale and her clothing whipped by
the wind about her limbs until she appeared
to be attired in tights. Every great wave
that dashed over the ship drenched her
completely, but she actually screamed with
delight. All nerves and emotion herself,
she was intoxicated with the tumult of the
elements in the midst of which she stood.
1t was only when the waves began to carry
away boats and smash things generally
that she could be persuaded to go to her
cabin.
On the upper deck of the Mariposa they
have tank bath, where such of the male
passengers as desire may enjoy a plunge
once day. The bath is real luxury in
passing through the tropics, and the enthu-
siastic descriptions of it by members of her
company so excited Bernhard that she de-
termined to enjow it. Of course, Bernhard's
told Captain Hayward that she was going
into the plunge the next morning the Cap
tain proceeded to make arrangements.
Pieces of sail cloth were stretched a short
distance away from either end of the
tank, extending from the rail to the
deck houses, and screening the tank from
view in all directions. The next morn
ing the tank was put in position and filled
at daylight, an hour earlier than usual.
Accompanied by her maid Nine. Bernhardt
stole around to the tank, and in few min
utes the deck fairly rang with her laughter.
She splashed in the water like a porpoise
and declared that she never had had so
much fun. 1t was only by the most per-
siste1t coa1ing that the maid could get her
MISTRESS to leave the tank in time to avoid
being seen by the men as they came up from
their dip. All this, of course, was t'buff''
bathing. Bathing suits are a nuisance in
that water, which is often as warm as $50
Fahrenheit.

HOW TO CAST OHIO BALLOTS.

Newark Republicans Start School to Eluci-
date the New Laws Mysteries.
NEWARK, O., Oct. 6.-[SpeciaL From
now on until the day of election the Repub-
licans here will conduct a school of in
struction for the voters on their side who
propose to learn all there is to know about
the working of the kangaroo" voting law.
A booth has been established at headquar-
tiers, North Third street, where bureau of
information answers all questions regarding
the new law.
The continued wrangle going on between
individuals demonstrates that nothing is
known of the law by the people in general,
and the probabilities are that the two great
parties will lose an enormous number of
votes which will no doubt be cast illegally
through sheer ignorance.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 6.-District Assembly No
4, Knights of Labor, has taken the first
steps toward having a general boycott
placed upon the manufactures of
the st. Louis Stamping Company.
At the meeting on Sunday the
Secretary was instructed to correspond with
General Secretary John w. Hayes, calling
the attention of the Executive Board to the
labor troubles in the tin plate mills of the
stamping company. The following resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That District Assembly No. 4,
knights of Labor, expresses it's sympathy

appreciates the manly stand taken by the
imported workingmen who refused to take
the place Of their fellow workers.
Resolved, That District Assembly No.
offers its moral aid and encouragement to
the men on strike at the Niedringhaus'
works.
The action of Niedringhaus in importing
workmen has aroused great indignation
among the laboring classes of st. Louis, and
it is upon this ground that the knights of
Labor will be asked to declare the general
bovcott.

PRIMITIVE WHALE KILLING,
Indians In Washington Capture Six Mon
sters in the Easiest Fashion.

Indians In Washington Capture Six Mon
sters in the Easiest Fashion.
San Francisco Examiner.l
Last Friday, as the schooner Robert
Levers, Captain Penhallow, from Homo
lulu, was entering Fuca Strait, she passed
five canoes filled with Indians, who were
attacking whale in their primitive style.
The harpoons are fitted with socket, into
which the harpoon staff of solid yew is in
serted. A lanyard about five fathoms long
has one end fastened to the harpoon head
and the other end secured to buoy made of
hair seaIskin taken off whole, with the hair
side in. The holes made by the f1ippers and
neck ara closed up air-tight, except that the
neck has hollow wooden plug, through
which the Indian blows up the skin while
fresh and soft till it is full of air, and when
dried it is as tight as drum and as buoyant
as bladder.
In attacking whale the harpoon is
driven into the blubber with great force,
and the staff of the harpoon comes out Of
the socket, leaving the barbed head firmly
fixed in the whales carcass, with the skin
buoy floating on the other end of the Ian
yard. The Indians get as many harpoons
into the whale as they can and the buovs
prevent him from sinking. The Indians
then kill the whale with their long lances
and when dead he is towed ashore and the
blubber and meat taken off and divided.
The Indians were whooping and yelling,
and finally the whale headed for the schoon-
er and passed directly under her bottom,
buoys and all, giving those on board fine
chance to see the circus. When the whale
again came up the Indians were ready with
their lances, and soon the water was dyed
with its blood, and before the Levers had
towing it ashore, with songs and shouts of
victory.

ALCOHOL WITH DINNERS
A Physi clan Says Claret Is the Worst Form
In Which 1t Can Be Taken.

If you want to be healthy, wealthy and
all that sort of thing, stop drinking claret
with your meals, says DR.. S. T. Marcoe, of
New York. 1t is the worst enemy that di-
gestion ever had. You would be great
deal better off if you substituted neat
whisky or gin. Most people imagine they
can't digest their food without rendering it
mushy BY pouring in a pint or more of
thick, ugly claret. They are entirely mis-
stomachs half an hour after dinner they
would be Mortified.
The majority of people drink claret be-
cause it is the thing to do so. They don't
like it, and doubt if they would drink it
did they inquire into the matter. 1t is un-
wise to drink much of any liquor with your
meals, but decidedly dangerous to drug
your food with claret. Good beer, Rhine
wine or champagne is better than elaret;
nothing is worse.

TURNED OVER TO THE CITY.
The Fourteenth Ward Station House Com
pIeted by the Contractor.


The new Fourteenth ward station, located
on Forbes street, just beyond Atwood
street, is completed at last. That is, til"
the building proper is finished and til"
painting done. This work was completed
yesterday, and the building was turned over
by the contractor to the city. To-day the
telephone and electric wires will be put in,
and then the work of furnishing the build
ing will begin. This will take but a short
time, as the furniture, carpets, etc, are
ready, and a few days will suffice for this
work.
The new station has been in the course of
construction for nearly year, the work
having been delayed from time to time by
strikes, ETC. The new building is very
handsome one, with rough stone front, and
will more than rival in beauty the Nine
tcenth ward station, which is considered one
of the finest in the country. 1t is expected
that the new station will be ready for occu-
pancy in the course of week or ten days at
the latest
