The Troy Conference.

The annual meeting of this church
body is a marked event with Methodists.
This year the interest was intensified be-
cause of the woman question" upon
which each conference was to vote and
thus contribute to the final decision as
to whether woman should become repre-
sentatives to the General Conference, and
of course eligible to all offices in the
church below that. TO eliminate all
newspaper flippancy the vote stood as
follows: The whole number of votes
cast was 1884, of which 1873 were against
and 81 for. The laity vote of the con-
ference by districts on the question of
admitting women as delegates to the
General Conference was as follows: Al
bany, 400 for, SAT against; Burlington,
$50 for, 3lS against; Plattsburgh, PAL
for, 254 against; Saratoga, 800 for, AIS
against; Troy, 395 for, 5S4 against.
