Spontaneous Combustion of the

The theory of spontaneous combustion

| held by almost every expert. Fropch
scientists in particular supported it, and
several of them published pamphlets i'll
which numerous Cases OF alleged spDn
taneous combustion of the human body
were described at length, but there are
three very significant points to be notices.
in connection with such reports. One is
the invariable admission that there was
a light or fire in the room where the
catastrophe occurred; ano5Ier that the
alleged Instances always happened in
families composed Of igoiant persons
and another, that i'll no case was there
any actual witness of the occurrence.
Something like - pei cent. OF tie
human body consists of water. This in It
self is sufficient to GiscrediJ any of the
alleged instances OF spontaneous cCmbus-
ton. 1t is just conceivable that persons
who drink an enormous amount of spirit
uous liquors may become 81 saturated
as it were, wit / this intammable material
that their bodies burn much more eaSily
than would those of people who do 10.
overindulge in this way, but it is pr
certain that the fire would have to be alp
piled from without, for no such thing as
spontaneous combustion could DE possible

THE METHODISTS.
The Word ''Laymen" Does Not
Include Women.
Matters Pertaining to the EpwOrth League
Consume Considerable Time-No Change
in the Time Limit of Pastors.

OMAHA, May 34.-Bishop Hurst presided
at the mornings session of the Methodist
conference.
The committee on judiciary has reached
the conclusion that the word 'laymenn in
the discipline, where it provides for lay
representation, does not include women.
After o sharp discussion this morning
the conference decided TO allow the Ep-
worth league to have it's own special sec
rotary.
This action, however, was somewhat
modified later on the demand of the friends
of the Y. P. S. G. E., who wanted the
work of these young followers of the
church recognized.
The announcement was made that Rev
G. A. Reeder. of the East Ohio conference,
had given $4,000 to assist in the erection
of Methodist headquarters in the city of
Rome. This caused great enthusiasm.
After further action on the rnles to gov
ern the Epworth league, DR.. J. f. Berry
was chosen editor OF the EplOorth Herald.
1t was decided to encourage the
YOUNG PEOPLES SOCIETY
OF Christian Endeavor and other such or
CARNATIONS to reorganize as branches of the
Epworth league in order to make the latter
only young peoples society of the church.
The report of the committee on timer
ances, which recommends the adjustment
of the five year limit on pastorates, was
then taken up, and after long and spirited
debate the conference adopted the minority
| report, which recommended the retention
of the time limit.
At the afternoon session the committee
on temperance reported with a vigorous
| statement of the well-known attitude Of
the Methodist church toward the liquor
traffic, which was denounced as full Of
catholicism" The report declared thai
| the church would accept no compromise
| the liquor business must surrender Ii
conclusion. the report said no party had
right to the support of Christian men a.
long as that party favored the license sys
tenn. Judge Lawrence offered a substitute
stating that the church did not propose tt
| take hand in politics, and every man haC
! a right to vote as he pleased. He held tina
the report of the committee was cunningly
worded so as to commit the church to sup
port prohibition or third party indirectly
and at the same hit the Republican part,
a smash in the same cunning way. In con
clusion, he said: 1.-THE Methodist Epis
copal church cannot afford to indorse tn
Prohibition party or any other politica
party" Great applause.
A motion to lay Judge Lawrenc's substi
tute on the table failed to pass. The Pro
hibition leaders on the committee begin t
grow anxious about the fate of the report
Dr. Evans, chairman of the committee O.
temperance declared the report was no
worded in manner to lend support to an
political party. The report, he said, simpl
sought to place the Methodist churc
squarely against the perpetuation of tn
liquor traffic. He was warmly applaudet
Judge Lawrence's substitute was then de
feated, 200 to "a. Then came vote upo
the report of the committee, and it we
adopted.

the most vehement opposition of the sup
porters of Carlisle and Watterson.
Carlisle stands himself as a presidential
candidate, and Watterson as q leading ex-
ponent of the principles OF the Democratic
party in 1892, must shun New York and
save the party.''
Congressman McCreary appeared to be
the unanimous choice for permanent chair
man of the convention. OF four delegates
at-large the selection of three is practically
settled. They are Henry Watterson, j. A.
Mckenzie and w. G. Ownes. For the fourth
a contest is probable.
In speech tonight in response to sere-
made -Watterson said in part: From first
TO last, speaking as a friend and not an
enemy of Cleveland, l urged that it would
be ruinous to him and to US, and to his
great name and fame'a and to our hopes IN
the immediate future, to nominate him
unless New York should come to the
national convention solid behind him. New
York is split wide open. Its regular Demo
Gratis are committed against Cleveland,
How can any thoughtful Democrat see
anything but defeat in such conditions
| know in the beginning Cleveland took
the same view of the situation, and if now
he really and seriously wants the nomina-
| ton he has changed his opinion"

RELIC OF ST. ANNE
The Methodists of New York
Doubt It's Genuineness.
Catholic Priest Gives Its History from the
Time of Burial Up to the
Present.

NEW YORK, May 24.-At the weekly
meeting of Methodist ministers yesterday
one of the members said it was strange that
Protestants should stand still while part
of the alleged arm of ST. Anne was exposed
for the worship of the ignorant in the
Catholic church st. Jean Baptiste. He
thought protest should be made. There
was no proof, he said, that the So called
relic was really what it was represented to
be. Others spoke to the same effect.
Monsignor Bernard O'Reilly, formerly a
domestic prelate of Leo XIII, when told of
these remarks, said The body of ST.
Anne was buried, according to Bollandist,
in the tomb of the blessed Virgin at cru
salem. A legend in the south Of France is
that all the relatives of our Lord and the
Virgin Mary were banished from
Palestine. They took with them the
body of St. Anne, and it was
entombed in a subterranean chapel in the
cathedral of Apt, in the south of France,
by the first bishop of that see in the first
century. When France was invaded by
the Barbarians, the entrance to the chapel
was walled up and evidences of its exist
ence obliterated.
In A. ID. II the vault was discovered and
opened in the presence of Charlemagne
Arch bishop Turpin and great company OF
the priests and mobiles. On the coffin was
] inscribed This is the body of St. Ann,
the mother of,the blessed Virgin Mary"
A letter of Charlemagne TO cope Adrian
l concerning the discovery is extant. The
body has been kept ever since in the ca
| thedral of Apt to the great glory of the
city. The relic was recently exposed IL
this city. 1t came from the right arm
which was sent to Rome and kept in the
monastery of St. Paul
with respect to the Methodist ministers
who criticise u.s." said Mr. O'Reilly, :.
have only to say that they should go tt
the Libraries and read for themselves the
historical proofs of the miraculous pre-.
servstion of the body of St. Ann"
