Ecumenical Methodist Council.

WASHINGTON CRY, Oct THE second
ecumenical Methodist council met this
morning in the Metropolitan church. The
platform erected back of the pulpit was
crowded with distinguished Methodists
from this country and England, and the
body of the church held over 500 delegates
The galleries were crowded to the utmost
extent with spectators.
The morning session was opened by
Bishop Bowman, of st. Louis, who read
the hymn. Bishop Keener, of New Or
leans, offered prayer. A sermon prepared
by Rev. DIR. Arthur, of London, was read
by Rev. DR.. Stephenson.
The officers nominated by the business
committee last night were elected Adj
dresses of welcome were delivered by
Bishop John F. Hurst, Rev James Carlisle
and Rev. George Douglass. Responses
were made by Rev. DR.. I. 3. Stephenson,
George Green and Rev. Ralph Abercomber
Rev. j. III. Carlisle, of South Carolina,
and DR.. George Douglass. of Montreal,
also delivered an address of welcome
Rev. T. d. Stephenson, president of the
Wesleyan connection in London, was
greeted enthusiastically. He said that
when an Englishman came here he felt as
if he had shaken off some shackles. He
had gotten into country where it made
little difference hat church he belonged
to and where he did not meet ''people who
are too highly cultured. He was glad to
see what Methodism could do in country
where it had fair field and favor. This
conference ought to be a great spiritual
power.
Mr.. George Green, of Glasgow, was the
next speaker. He hoped that the chan
nels of difference between Methodists
would be somewhat worn down as a result
of this conference.
Rev. Abercrombie, of Shrewsbury, Eng
land, delivered the last address of the day
and the session closed with prayer by DR..
Stephenson.

remain until fail, when they are shipped The
work Of gathering the oysters does not continue
the year round, but is confined to the spring
tides.
The working day on the beds is short but dis
agreeable, On account of is being usually q CON-
bination of night and daY work II is impossi-
bic TO tong the oysters at high tide On account
OF the depth OF the water This being the case
the work on the beds is confined TO about four
hours in the twenfy-f0ur. In the spring there
Is no night work for the reason t3at the night
tides do not run lew enough at that season, but
In the fall OF the year the best time to tong is
by moonlight
In the spawning season, from June to Sep
TENDER l. the oystersare so poor as to be hardly
AZ for market The spawn itself resembles milk,
though in some cases Il Is brown IN color.
Every trade has its tricks. and oystering Is no
exception 10 the rule. Each oys.erman is
allowed By Law 70 hold eighty acres bur several
OF them have as high es zoo acres, and in acdi-
ton claim the channels. The oyster grounds
must have at least three feet Of water on them
aud must run dry so that they can be cleaned
up.
The Clustering outfit consists principally of
boats, tongs and baskets. The tongs resemble
two long handled rakss, the teeth of the two
rakes pointing toward each other and the
handles fastened near the middle so that they
woEk like pair OF shears. Every FISHERMAN
has from two TO four boats called .batcaEx-"
ines resemble trap sRiHs, though larger. AS
some oystermen must 20 as much as two miles
to reach their own beds and ten or fifteen miles
t. reach the natural beds, they also have large
boats built for that purpose which cost fgom
800 10 slo0o. "Dingses" are, of course. indis-
pensable TO every FISHERMAN. They are similar
to 8 fish boat though smaller, being from ten to
fifteen feet in length and three feet in width.
They are used 70 go to and fro on the beds
and also from place . place when
there is little wind They cost from $50 TO s59
The baskets hold three peeks and our clustering
boats carry from 30 to 500 baskets. Each bed
Is marked by green stakes which must project
above the water at high tide.
Clustering IL not by any means royal road to
fortune. For each basket OF tie b.valyes we re-
ceiye but 75 cents, at which rate only the large
oystermen can make any money. Nor is the
Work steady, inasmuch as for the three months
in the winter nothing can be done. During this
season there IS also the risk of the oysters being
frozen, and destruction of the beds means from
four 10 six years of working and waiting before
the beds can be made productive again But
even snpposing that good fortune attends him
through the winter, tie poor FISHERMAN must
contend in the summer with the moss and long
grass which grow ON his beds.
