WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT.


Squire Caldwell has moved his
studio across the street from his Office
and is giving lessons under the trees
on the pavement. Here, under the
inviting shade, the battles between
the Greeks and the Romans are
fought in imagination, and the glories
OF the immortal warriors are related
in song. They follow Leonidas to
the pass at Thermopyl@ and weep
over the fate of his Spartan band.
They go with Alexander to the banks
of the Granicus, where with the ban
ner of Macedon waving over him he
lcaped into the turbid waters, moth
ing daunted by the fierce army wait
ing for him on the other side. They
follow Cyrus in his "scythed chariot,
surrounded by his spearmen' to the
uttermost parts of the earth and weep
that he is now back number. The i'm
mortal Hannibal, "when his armies
hung like the. tempests of heaven
upon the declivities of the Alps" is
to them the essence of poetry and
solves the race question so far as they
are concerned. The victorious prince
of Naphtalia "When he spurred his
barb up the mountain paths OF Gal
lilee to meet the incursion of the Ro-
man Eagle is talked about every
meeting and his praises are sung in
monotone.

discussions at the Conference.
WASHINGTON, Oct 9-Some of the min
listers who are here attending the ecumen-
ical Methodist conference complain that
they are treated unfairly in public places
on account of their color Rev J. c. En-
bry, of Philadelphia, in speaking of the
matter said: I'VE partook of the com
munion service with our white brethren
on an equality. but when we went out to
get our lunch we could not find a restau-
rant which would serve us, and we finally
had 10 go to a railroad depot" "If we had

ave ought to have had a resolution on
the outrage" said one of her majesty's
subjects to one of the colored delegates
who suffered rejection and hunger "rd
leave any hotel or eating house where
they'd treat you so; I'd sleep in the street
before they should have penny of my
money" He voiced the unanimous senti-
ment Of the foreign representatives.
Bishop Foster did not care TO discuss the
matter at this time, but he remarked to a
reporter: 1--WE feel the iniquity of it.-
Friends of the colored delegates comment
with good deal of severity on the fact
that hotelkeepers and restaurant proprie-
tors failed to make any distinction be-
tween men save that of color.
''Say They Are All Niggers."
"They put them all in bag, bishops
and criminals, the Lords Amounted and
the gambler, and shake them up and say
they are all niggers," was the comment of
one delegate. Whether the conference
will take any action in the matter or not
will depend on the business committee
through which all matters not on the pro-
gramme must pass. Southern delegates
are not talkative, so no one can prophesy
what they may do in case resolution of
censure on the hotelkeepers comes up.
Proceedings of the Conference.
Two features of yesterdays session
were the presentation to the American
university of John Wesley's chair and the
loan to the conference of the original Ep-
worth Bible, which was used in the church
the Wesleys attended. "The Present
Status of Methodism in the Eastern Sec
ton" was the subject discussed in the
morning and it was shown that Method
ism was increasing in England faster than
the population. "Methodism in the West
ern Section" was the subject in the after
noon and it was shown to be fiourishing.
