PASSING CHARACTERS

The characters of all the ministers were
passed and all the reports of missionary col
lecUions were presented. Some excitement
was looked for during the session by the
rivalry between two Eastern Shore church
papers to get the sanction of the conference
as its official org an. One publication has
the patronage which the other desires. Bit
ter editorials have passed between them
and one of the LEGAL papers has printed
charges of attempted bribery. The fight
was to begin today, when the character of
one of the presiding elders was brought up.
Charges were to bs preferred by a clergy
man who being temporary absent the
bishop called up the characters and the
elder passed rs satisfactory, no one being
present TO prefer the alleged charges. The
matter may come up again in another
shape.
Rev. 5. y. Pitch ard, of Delaware Cily,
was to have delivered missionary sermon
this afternoon, but Illness would not per
was supplied the committees used up the
time with impromptu meetings.
MORE CHURCHES NEEDED
At night Rev. DR.. w. a. Spencer spoke
on church extension, stating that four
Methodist churches had been elected for
every day in the past year, yet there was a
demand far 900 more. He made an appeal
for money, stating that 600 missionaries
were waiting to go ahead, and there was
not money enough to send one tenth of
them The Rev T. L. Terry also spoke.

BOOK CONCERN.

DR.. S. Hunt, of the Book Concern,
gladdened the hearts of the ministers by
telling them that the literature issued by
the concern will probably be cheaper nsxt
year. He said the finances of the Concern
were in good condition and should not be
increased one cent, but spent on worn out
ministers and widows aud orphans. A
church organiz alton not in need of money
surprised the conference and the members
applauded the doctor He also said that

ture which 81 BEEN sent forth by deuoni
nations during the 100 years.

EDUCATIONAL.
DIR. Chas H. Paine, of the board of educa
ton, spoke of the necessity of the church's
increasing care of educational institutions.
He thought there ought to be five times as
many students in the colleges as there are,
though there was an increase of 1000 dur
ing the past year. He urged revival OF
education as the greatest and most import
ant question before the church. 1t Is too
late a day, he said, to expect Methodists to
attend the church's colleges simply because
they are Methodist institutions. The
church does not attack the public schools,
but says at the same time that we must
have denCminatioual schools. He opposed
the indiscriminaLe policy of erecting col
leges, and urged reorg lnizatlon and unitica
ton and an official list, in which kinder
gartens would not be universities.

have been that two of them were at first in
favor of a verdict for the state for the value
of the bonds less the interest.
"A la rye and pleasant meeting of Rising

ing Mrs. Emma Haines, presented the re
firing president of the Union, Mrs. Ada G.
Jewell, handsome picture of Frances K.
Willard in an oxiiized frame. Mrs Jewell
| in responding took occ aston to express
the great pleasure which she experienced
in receiving the picture, as token OF good
will from the members of the Union, and
as expression of loyalty and devotion to
the leader of the National w. C. T. U. Uni
versal sorrow was felt by each member at
parting with so faithful and efficient a
president az Mrs. Jewell has proved herself
to be.
"A special from Dover, Del, says: The
cold wave which reached here early Friday
evening will prove good thing for the
peach crop of 1891. The four or five sultry
wet days which preceded this wave warmed
the ground up and started the sap running
in the trees 1t was plain on Thursday that
growers were getting alarmed. They feared
a repetition OF the experience of last year,
when sultry, soggy, wet spell sent the
trees out in bloom in the beginning of March
and then the frost came along and killed
the buds. But the cold wave has driven
the sap back again, the buds are backened
for two weeks at least by it, and growers
are juhilanT If the buds can be kept back
till the end of March there is very little
doubt then of a successful fruit crop, and
in fact successful fruit crop generally
Such growers as Representative Ridgely
A. II. Cahall. Frank Temple and others
who witch every point, say today tina
peaches of all varieties are safe, and as fa
as can be predicted now the outlook is tina
the crop of 1891 will be immense.

DEATHS HERE AND ELSEWHERE.
Captain Arthur II. Yates.

Captain Arthur L. Yates, Z. S. N, died
of heart disease at the Portsmouth Navy
Yard Tuesday. Captain Yates was COM
mandant of the Portsmouth yard, where he
had been stationed little over year. He
was appointed to the navy from New York
IS years ago, and served for l6 years at sea.
His death will cause the promotion of Com
mander Benjamin F. Day, and will bring to
the head OF the list of commanders the name
of Frederick r. Smith, whose case has been
a point in issue with naval authorities for
some years. He has been awaiting orders
for 10 years, having been court martialed in
ls7G and sentenced to dismissal. Strong in
fiuence was brought to bear and he was al
lowed to remain in the service, but, though
strenuous efforts have been made from time
TO time to get him ordered to duty they have
always failed Now his case is being utilized
by the advocates OF the selection" theory
OF naval promotion as an argument against
seniority promotions. The Lieutenant Com
manGer to be promoted is George E. Ide,
and if Commander Kellogg is retired, as is
generally anticipated, Lieutenant Com
mandec George Ii. Book will become Com
nlander.

TWO PRETTY DUDES AT DINNER.
Hid Their Faces in Napkins While They
Picked Their Teeth


Six ultra fashionable gentlemen sat about
a table in Fifth avenue cafe last night
partaking of an elaborate course dinner.
Four were well-known business men,
wealthy in worldly goods, besides possess
ing share above the ordinary of good,
healthfui sense. They were older and
more experienced than the remaining two,
who were to fortune and aristocratic name
born. This cut no figure so far as COM
pany and entertaining conversation went.
They were strictly listeners, and if they
had any ideas to express, the banged hair
which literally covered their two-fnger
foreheads, would have iguratively
smothered any attempted effort at wit or
wisdom. 1t was interesting to watch the
seStette.
As the courses were served by the OBJ
sequeous garcon. the four men attended to
their business in way which was purely
unaffected and painless, while the two
''Johnnies" who wished to pose as Beau
Brummels OF etiquette, ate their portion
with absolute languor and wish-there-was-
no-eating air.
After cafe noir was served the most
fragrant and repulsive breach of savoir
vivre was exhibited by the two youths
They selected toothpick each, and care
fully raising their napkins to their faces, ex-
plored the cavities of their molars with the
wooden splints as if afraid that some often
size odor or saliva would escape from them.
The four men of common sense picked their
teeth just in the good old way which is al
Ways best. Several diners at other tables
watched the affected manners of the youths,
which caused many uncomplimentary re-
marks 1t is not bad form to pick your
teeth at stag dinner, but above all things
never use napkin as shield to cover up
defect, or in the manner of fad.

MANY MINERS DASHED TO DEATH.
The Rope of a Descending Cage in the Ana
conda Mine Breaks.

conda Mine Breaks.
BUTTE CITY, MONT, Nov. 5.-At the
Anaconda mine early this morning II
miners were killed. A cage was filled with
miners returning from work who stepped out
into the open air. Their places were at
once taken by 10 men, who were to take up
the work the others had just abandoned,
and the cage was started toward the depths
below. The rope had been unwound two
times from the slowly revolving windlass
when there was sudden snap, and then
came a cry of horror from the shaft in
which the cage had but moment before
disappeared. The rope had broken, and
the cage with its 10 inmates was precipit-
ated to the bottom of the mine.
1t was some time before any assistance
could be sent them. The shaft down which
the men had plunged was useless, and other
ways of getting at the place where they had
fallen were roundabout. Fortunately there
was some help for the dead and dying men
in the mine itself A number of the miners
who were through work and waiting to be
relieved, were at the bottom of the Shaft,
waiting for the cage to take them out.
Amidst them, narrowly missing some, the
cage dashed. 1t broke, and before their
eyes were the mangled bodies Of the COM
panions whom they were awaiting.

PROTEST AGAINST RECIPROCITY.
Hawaii Doesn't Like the Quality of the
Article She Has.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Dr Mott Smith.
Minister of Finance 20 Hawaii, who is on
a special mission to this Government,
arrived in Washington to-day, from New
York, accompanied by c. X. Bishop, of
Honolulu who is an ex-member of the Cabi-
net and at the present time President ofthe
Board of Education. The latter is on his
wav to Honolulu. Dr. Smith called on
Secretary Blaine, this morning. His special
mission is 10 secure some modifiea
ations oft reciprocity treaty now in force
between this country and Hawaii, the oper-
ations of which, so far as Hawaii is con-
concerned, have been seriously affected by
the operations of the new United States
tariff law. As this law grants bounty to
producers OF sugar in this country, the
benefits heretofore reaped by the Hawaiian
producers from the free admission Of their
sugar into the United States under the pro-
visions of the treaty are negatived.
DIR. Smith will also call the attention of
the Secretary of State to the matter of law
ing a cable belt between the United States
and Honolulu. The Government of Hawaii,
he saws, is ready to pay subsidy to any
company establishing cable line between
the two countries. Or. Smith has been alb
sent from Honolulu for some years and re-
turned lnere only snort time before
he was delegated to come to the
United States on his special mission.
He found on his return that the desire for
annexation to the United States had grown
greatly during his absence. The feeling, he
thinks, however, is based more on a wish to
participate in the commercial benefits to be
derived therefrom than from any hope of
political aggandizement. From the tenor
OF his conversation it is evident that DR..
Smith has no fear Of English interference in
the affairs of the island.
In regard to the reports of the serious i'll
ness of Queen Lilualokiani, Dr. Smith pro-
nounced them as all humbugs. The Queen
has not turned 80 years of age. She has
never been seriously Ill in her life, and now
suffers only from colds or other slight indis-
positions incident to persons of her age. The
Queen, the doctor explained, is often con-
founded with the Queen Dowager, who re-
Gently suffered from a stroke of paralysis.
1t is understood that Dr. Smith can sue
ceed the late Mr.. Carter as Minister to the
United States if he so desires

SECRETARY TRACY coMPLIMENTED.
The Civil Service Reform League Thanks
Him for His Efforts.


WASHINGTON, Nov 5-Secretary
Tracy has received the following communi-
cation:
NEW YORK, Oct 60 1891.
Sir: We were directed by the National
Civil Service Reform League, at its last
annual meeting in Buffalo, respectfully TO
transmit to you a copy of the inclosed re-
solution, adopted by the League.
Very Respectfully.
GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS President,
WILLIAM PoTrS, Secretary.
The League declares its high appreciation
of the great and patriotic services rendered
TO the country and to the interests of re-
form by the Secretary of the Navy in his
prompt, comprehensive and thorough appli-
cation OF sound principles of administra-
1ion in the selection, both of skilled and
unskilled employees in the national navy
wards, which have been hitherto scenes of
the most excesses of the spoils system. The
league trusts that this great measure of re-
form will be secured permanently by an
executive order which alone can make it
part of the general system under which the
law administered by the National Civil
Service Commission.

The fetish man under any name is the
authority on all matters connected with
relations of man to the unseen. He is the
exorciser of spirits, the maker of charms,
and the prescriber and regulator of all GER
emonial rites. He can discover who "ate
the heart'' of the chief who died but yes
terday, who it was who caused the canoe
to upset and give three lives to the croco-
dile and the dark waters of the Congo, or
even who blighted the palm trees of a vii
lage and dried up their sap, causing the
supply of malafu, or palm wine, to cease,
or drove away the rain from a district and
withered its fields of nguba (ground nuts)
All this is within the ken of the Nganga
Nkisi, and he is appealed to on all these
occasions to discover the culprit by his in
sight into the spirit world, and hand him
or her over to the just chastisement of an
outraged community. This is the only
substitute for religion that the African
savage possesses. Its tenets are vague and
unformulated, for with every tribe and
every district belief varies and rites and
ceremonies are as diverse as the fancies of
the fetish men who prescribe them.-E. j.
