The American people are undoubt-
edly to-day the greatest reading peo-
pie in the world. Even in very hum
BILE households you find magazine,
one or two weekly papers, and half
dozen shelves Of books; the cabinet
maker furnishing in these days a very
elegant oak bookcase for IS. There
are three classes of publications which
are found in almost every household
books, the weekly paper, and the
monthly illustrated magazine. The
weekly paper gives all the news of the
week, keeps the subscriber posted upon
what is going on in the markets and
in politics. The illustrated magazine,
owing to the fact that it is seldom
published in numbers less than l00,-
900, can afford to pay the highest
prices for both literary and artistic
work, and offers at a figure so low
4 that it seems impossible, the serious,
sober thoughts of great writers of the
world, in addition to those of the
J masters of fiction, together with
lighter and more entertaining sketch
eS.
When the public was first presented
with an illustrated magazine for $500
and weekly at $500 it was thought
that great progress had been made in
giving much for little, What must
be thought then of a proposition
which gives a magazine like the Cos.
nlopOlidn, the rival of the best of the
$500 magazines, a weekly of pages,
closely printed like TIE HERALD for
$3.50 and then to cap the climax,
throws in for SOC. the publishers reg
ular subscription edition of copy
right work like Grants Memoirs sold
at 700; not cheap reprint, but on
best paper, handsomely bound in
cloth, green and gold, in every respect
the same edition as has hitherto been
sold at S7.00-S4.50 mot including
postage on Memoirs) for the entire
combination. Such an offer consti-
tutes an event in the history of book
publishing. 1t has never been done
before, and probably will never be
repeated, unless some of the Older
magazines should likewise aspire to
build up their circulation to half @
million copies. Write for the Sept

THE METHODIST COUNCIL.
Two Disorlerly Sessions. Full of Lively
Discussions and Personalities.

wv JlSOTuerly SESSIONS, uli Oh Lively
Discussions and Personalities.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. .-lSpe-
cial l--Rev. Dr. Donnelly, of the Irish
Methodist Church, presided over the
Ecumenical Methodist Council at the
beginning of the eighth days session.
The first business before the council
was further consideration of the report
Of the business committee in response
to the memorial OF the Methodist
federation, and DIR. Stephenson, in be-
half of the committee, made eXplana
ton of the purpose in reporting resolu
tions and expressed the hope that they
would pass.
He also suggested few alterations in
the original text so that as the reported
resolution reads as follows:
First: That the conference recognizes
with gratitude to God the growing desire
for closer union amongst the Evan
gelical Churches of Christendom, and
especially halls swith devout thankful
amongst the various Methodist churches.
Second: The conference cannot
doubt that concerted action upon many
questions would be greatly to the ad-
vantage of the Kingdom of God. The
conference would suggest that such con-
certed action might be possible and
useful in the folio wing great provinces
| of the Methodist world. viz:
" (a), Great Britain, including it,
affiliated conferences and missions; (b),
United States, including its missions
and mission conferences; (c), Australia
STA, with Polynesia and its other mis-
| sions; (d), Canada, with it's missions. :"
The discussion following was lively and
engendered some hard feeling. The af-
ternoon session was taken up in the
discussion of Romanism and the sa-
looms. An assertion of DR.. Atkinson,
of England, characterizing the Print
tive Methodists as imposters, resulted
in tho adjournment of the council in
disorder.

female colleges, five universities,
twenty-three colleges, three agricul-
tural schools, ten of theological, eight
of law, eighteen OF medicine, three for
manual training, six for the deaf, four
for tho blind, one for the feeble minded,
three reformatories, one school for
nurses, six OF high grade for negroes,
and one for Indians, besides private
academies for boys, seminaries for girls
and mixed schools whose number is not
known.
The report speaks of defects in tie
free school system which should be
remedied. Tho teachers are too fire.
euently and carelessly changed, and
their salaries are too small. The
length of the term is too short, being
on an average only 95.3 days. The
average monthly salary paid to male
teachers is S27.20, and to females,
S26.77, while that of the whole country
is SAL rs to men, and S34.21 to women,
per month
Tho report further says that in
other cities of Virginia, not one-half of
the children are enrolled, while the
the rest. Stanton is the only city in
the State that can furnish seats to all
of it's pupils.
Of the 160 religious schools in the
bounds of tho Synod, letters were ad-
dressed asking tho religious condition
Of the students and the reply from 30
male schools had an aggregate attend
ance of $500 students. Only II semi
naries for girls reported. Reports
came in from 16 mixed schools, with
$500 pupils and about thesssame proper
ton as in the above.
Several recommendations in the
furtherance Of education were
made, and tho question of the adoption
of that part relating to preaching on
the subject of education brought out
some discussion.
The resolutions were finally adopted
and the full reports were received.
The adoption of the report in full was
deferred until to-day, when it will be
taken up in detail.
Rev. DR.. Kerr, of Richmond, preached
at 7.30 o'clock p. m. He took from the
text. The Church Of the Living God. :"
DR.. Kerr held his audience spell bound,
preaching one of the grandest sermons
ever delivered in Roanoke. His style
is such as impresscs, and causes men to
think; his delivery is perfect and
pathetic, and his subject such as is
calculated to mako an impression. The
church was packed to overlooking.

THE SAM WOODS MURDER
ANOTHER STEVENS COUNTY
KAN, ASSASSINATION. .
Tho War OF Factions Over the County Seat
Revived and Fought Over on the
Witness Stand

TOPEKA, KAN, June 25.-The inside story
OF Sam Woods murder is still to be told. II
testimony of Woods friends is to be be-
ieved, the crime was as cold blooded
a murder as was ever perpetrated
say that the murder was deliberately
planned and deliberately executed by his
enemies. The war of factions in Stevens
county over the county seat had nearly died
away last winter, when old animosities
were again revived by the institution of
impeachment proceedings against Judge
Botkin, in whose judicial district Stevens
county is located, and who was one of the
worst particular enemies. The old fight
was fought over again on the witness stand
in the impeachment trial, and the feeling
between the two factions became more bitter
than ever. Wood had expressed his belief
that an attempt would be made to assassin
ate him when he should first appear at
Hugoton again. but he never suspected that
he would be shot down from behind. He
was armed, but had no opportunity to draw
his weapon. Application will be made
to the attorney-geueral TO prosecute
the case against the murderer. Prose-
cutting Attorney O'Conner was a bitter
enemy of Wood, and beat him in the cleo
ton last fall for the Office he now holds.
The trial will have to be held in
Judge Botkin's court but Judge Bothin
will probably call in some other
judge to preside. Crenan has been re-
moved to Richfield, Morton county, for
safety. Woods body has been taken 10
Strong City, where it will be inferred.

Steinln, at which place they were married.
The vicar OF the parish of Steinin denies
that Parnell and Mrs. O'Shea We're mar

Shortly after / 80 this morning two GA

GREENWALL'S OPERA HOUSE.
An Unusual Exhibition of Energy and Tai
emit of Children in a Great
Tragedy.

1t goes without saying that the represen-
tation of Richard Ill by very young people
Is ut least 4 novelty, and it shows both an
extremely bold design and inexhaustibIe
eare and labor on the part of those getting
up and managing such. None but the per-
sons who have attempted q like feat can
family imagine the extent of the under
taking. And to Prof. J. d. Niurphree and
the ladies ana gentlemen ably assisting him
in preparing the little folks for the work
much praise is due for their success. This
is the first time a Shakesperean
play has been acted by children
in the South, and the Dallas juvenile his
trionics have the distinction Of leading of
in that line.
Notwithstanding the warm weather and
the unpropitious season, the house Con-
tanned an appreciative audience, among
whom were many pupils from the schools,
the latter doing well to study such per-
formance.
or course, 1t is easy to criticize any
play, especially the non-professional and
children; but conservative notice of an
effort like that of last evening, cannot fail
to speak highly of the many excellent things
aone. And where all nearly were under
Twelve and thirteen years of age, and some
very young, the representation possesses
great interest. 1t would be hard TO re-
mark upon the numerous finely rendered
SCENTS anu VOICES, sHoWinS proHiSe auu
training; and SO one can only echo the gen
sral sentiment as TO the pre- cocity and
elocution of Master Bryan Daugherty in
the title role, and it is scarcely neces-
aary to say that if he continues
10 improve his great gift he
may one day earn fame and
fortune. The text was well preserved and
the stage business good as far as the prop
critics permitted. But the costumes were
expensive and historically correct, and
added an attractive feature to the COM
mendable entertainment.
The children, with their Instructor and
chaperons, left on special train to return

Wanted-An Intruder.

Special to the Gazette.
ARDMoRE, I. T., June 25.-We learn
from reliable source that Governor Byrd
and Indian Agent Bennett came near hav-
ing little personal dispute yesterday over
the intruder matter and the situation here.
After riding all day in the broiling rays Of
the hot sun, in the vain search for an in
truder in all that vast section of country ~
ing between Parr and Erin Springs, when
the latter point was reached Agent Bennett
became disguised with the whole perform
ance, and SO expressed himself to Governor
Byrd and gave his excelleucy twelve hours
in which to find a so-called intruder, and
stated if the same was not found in that
time he would abandon the search and re-
turn to Muskoeee
Governor Byrd hearing of supposed in
truder twelve miles from Erin Springs,
summoned portion Of the militia and sent
them out in that direction, but failing to
find the object of their search. returned
Agent Bennett, true to his word, at once
headed the militia toward Paul's Valley,
and they are expected to arrive here most
any hour. Agent Bennett will notify the
department at Washington of the situation
in this Nation, when the militia will be dis
banded, and it is thought this will end the
long-talked-of war against the intruders.
