FLOWERS ON "A wArgRY GRAVE.
A Pathetic Scene Enacted Almost Daily
on an Oakland Ferryboat.
From the San Francisco Examiner.

A Pathetic Scene Enacted Almost Daily
on an Oakland Ferryboat.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
A pale young woman, dressed in deep
mourning, paying her tribute to the
memory of loved one by casting cluster
OF forget-me-nots into the bay, is a sight
that has for several days past occasioned
considerable speculation AMONG the pas
sengers on the ferry steamer Newark on her
noon trip to this city.
The woman was first noticed by the ferry
employees about month ago. II is her
custom to board the upper deck OF the
steamer and take seat at the stern rail
bench on the starboard side. In ner hand
she carries a bunch of flowers, which she
treats with as much devotion and tender
ness as If it were an object of priceless value
that, once lost, could not be replaced.
Once seated near the rail, her gaze rest
ing upon the water, and buried in thought,
she appears to be utterly lost to her sur
roundings. 1t is while resting in a posture
that exhibits all the grace and charm of
budding womanhood that ones eye In
stinctively scans her form and features, and
speculations as to her identity are excited.
She has petite but we'll rounded figure,
her face is delcately chiseled, the features
regular and full of expression, and her ewes
are dark, but with far-away, dreamy look
in them that reminds one OF the Madonna.
Who she is is mystery, but her mission has
been surmised.
1t is when the boat passes Goat Island that
the young woman seems to awake from the
lethargy into which she has fallen and, as IL
drawn by magnet whose attraction she is
unable to resist, she rises and steps to the
rail, bouquet in hand. She looks over the
side with a bewildered expression, and,
selecting the most favorable spot for the
purpose, she raises her arm and casts the
bouquet into the bay. She stands with both
hands upon the rail and watches the flowers
sink beneath the surface, and as they rise
again and are washed away by the heavy
current she mutters some words, signs, and
walks rapidly into the cabin, where she
selects retired seat and communes with
herself until the mole is reached. Then she
descends to the lower deck aud is lost to
view in the crowd.
That woman is casting flowers upon her
lovers grave" said one Of the officers of the
boat to group of passengers who had wit
messed the proceedings a few days ago.
Zone of my men heard her say one day as
she cast the bouquet over: %, Georgel
O., Georgep My theory is that she was
engaged to some young fellow who jumped
into the bay and was drowned some months
ago. In respect to his memory she now
decorates his grave as it were. 1t is GER
tainly touching procedure and who knows
how this woman Is suffering!"

WOMEN as DELEGATES.
The Question Again Before the Meth
odist Conference.


OMAHA, NEB., May 26.-The Methodist
Episcopal general conference adjourned
sine die to-day. Its last act was to vote
upon the question ofadmitting women to
the conference as lay delegates The Judi
ciary committee reported that the word
laymen" in the discipline did not mean
both sexes, but that it had reference to men
only. The committee did not mean to take
the ground that women should not be ad-
mitted, but simply that the meaning of the
word "laymen," as itgwas placed in the dis
clpline years ago, did'not include women.
"a An amendment "a the nature of a SUBJ
stltute, was offered by DIR. Hamilton. Itpro-
vides that the word "laymenp as applied
to lay delegates must mean male delegates.
and in case this Interpretation of the word
is not sustained by wo-thirds vote of the
annual conference and three fourths vote
of the general conference, then the word
"laYmenh shall mean both women and men.
and will Of course admit women as Law
delegates. DR.. Hamilton's amendment was
adopted by vote OF 234 to ia. The result
was tumultuously applauded DR.. aamil-
toms substitute was then adopted by a vote
OF 24l to l60, to take the place Of all other
parts OF the report and be submitted to the
annual conference.

The Seizure by the Police of Chicago
Upheld by a Jury. e..
. CHICAGO. May ga jury has decided
that the police had a right to seize and re-
tain the red flags which were carried in the
Mayday procession in spite of the warning
given by the chief of police several days be-
brought by the Chicago Debating Society
for the recovery of its red banner The
only witness for the defense was Chief of
Police McClaugherey. He said the flags
we're seized because they were symbols of
an unlawful purpose, and he believed the
carrying Of them through the streets of the
city was menace to law and order. After
arguments of the counsel the jury retired,
and in ten minutes brought in a verdict for
