Ms. La Fstrs Talks About woman Repre-
ssntasion in the ME. Church.
TIE vote in the Maryland conference against
the admission Of women delegates to the Meth
odist conferences has not, by any means, dis
couraged the ladies in this city who
have been struggling along With their
sisters in other states for the en-
franchisement Of women in the Methodist
church. The question of the admission of
women will be finally decided by tho
general conference, which meets in Omaha
in 1892 The vote at the conference
here u to be considered in some
measure rs Of an advisory character,
although II means that the Maryland confer
ence win be represented at the general confer
ence by delegates opposed to the admission of
women. It also means that ~ votes have been
placed to the aggregate vote in favor Of
womens admission and LAT against the propo-
sition.
NOT SURPRISE.
Mrs. 8. d. La Fetra, who has been an active
worker IN the cause of woman's admission, said
to STAR reporter today that the vote here
was not a surprise or disappointment to those
interested in the cause Of women, but rather
tn. opposite;
-
La Fetra, would keep it from taking an
advanced position on this question" The fact,
however, that the vote in favor of the women
reached forty-two, abe considered a
encouraging in the extreme. 1.-THE western
churches, however" continued Mrs. La Fetrs
ARE thoroughly in earnest in this effort to
emancipate women in the church, and they are
sure to succeed in the end. In the east, too
the movement grows stronger rapidly and al
ready you will find some of the most eminent
and distinguished Methodist divines earnestly
favoring the extension.
WHAT THE OPPONENTS FEAR.
THE opponents urge the plea that the admis-
sion of women delegates would simply be an
entering wedge for the ordination of women
ministers. They are willing to see
women. working at the lowest charac-
ter OF manual labor, but consider
that to allow her to enter the pulpit
would be q disgrace and sin. 1t is simply
matter OF time when women will be admitted
to an equality with men in the Methodist
church. The two-third vote which it will re-
quire may not come at the
next conference, but the effect win
simply be that when the change does come
women will get much more than the moderate
demands presented now. The ministers and
male portion of the church consider that
women have sufficient intellect to raise funds
for the church and in hundreds Of cases have
delegated such work to them but they stop
there and say, you are smart enough to secure
and subscribe the money, but the gray matter
ofyour brains ID not sufficiently extensive for
you to have anything to say as to the manner
in which the money shall be spent"

Rosenthal yesterday afternoon. His method
Of teaching foreign languages centers in the
requirement Of the everyday vocabulary, the
mastery Of all idiomatic constructions and the
ability Of thinking in the language itself. 1t ID
in this that the doctor calls in the aid of one Of
Edison's monograph. Language systems fail,
he said, because the students think about their
French or German instead Of thinking in these
tongues.
na perfon resides in France he hears French
continually and consequently masters t. But
here he takes two lessons . week, and no teacher,
no system, he said, can give him absolute con-
