OMAHA, Neb,, May 26.-The commit
tee on state of the church of the Meth
odist Episcopal general conference has
prepared two reports upon the amuse-
ment question. The majority is OPP
posed to the effort that has been made
to secure a more loose and lib
eral construction of the rules
concerning dancing, theater go
ing, etc. The minority favors the
idea of having a general statement
upon the amusement question, com
manding all members of the church to
refrain from unbecoming, frivolous
and unchristian conduct, leaving each
individual to be to some extent his
own judge as to the nature of amuse-
ments that are becoming and Christian.
The indications are that there will not
be any radical change in the discipline.
The report on the Columbian exposi-

session opened and was accepted. A
second part recommended the appoint
ment of commission to make a church

but was finally adopted.
The committee on lay representation
reported in favor of equal lay and
clerical representation in the general
conference, one lay man and one min

A spirited debate ensued, followed by

The Alabama Senator Boldly Places silver
Above Everything Else.
WASHINGTON, May Elm the course
of free silver speech in the senate to-
day, Mr.. Morgan said: I'VE have had
other presidents to veto silver bills and
what has become of them? There is
very prominent gentleman now before
the country whom every Democrat in
the United states honestly loves and
reveres for his manly integrity, his
great broad craftsmanship and his
splendid administration of the gov
eminent, and yet, because Demo-
Gratis love the people better
than they do him, they would sec
him go to his political grave in
a moment rather than take him
and put him where he could have OPP
portunities to join hands with the sem
ator from Ohio in inflicting the final
death blow on silver. The Democrats
of this country would not krow, in the
event of Grover Cleveland being at the
head of their ticket and of tao senator
from Ohio being at the head of the
other ticket which to prefer in regard
TO their attitude to destroy silver
suppose that the gratitude of these
men who have been enabled to eXpcnd
and contract the currency of the coun-
try would give the senator fr0m Ohio
the preference over the eX-prcsideut !

legends and SuperstltIons Connected
with That Particular Period OF Time.
The advent Of "leap year" and the
break in the regular order of days make
anything in regard to the "bissextile"
or "leap year" of more than ordinary
interest, says the st. Louis Republic.
Leap year has always been regarded
with awe and superstition by the peo-
pie OF all countries. The peasantry of
England affirm that peas and beans
grow the wrong way in their pods
that is, the seeds are set contrary to the
way they are in ordinary years. In
Belgium the rural folks maintain that
leap year is not only unpropitious for
all farming operations, but that
throughout the year the young of the do
mestic animals will not thrive as at
other times. A similar fatality, they
argue, extends to every kind of grass
and plant, which becomes stunted or is
blighted before attaining its normal
size. The same peculiar ideas prevail
in Russia, Turkey, Tartary, India and
Arabia. The Russian proverb says:
IF St. Cassian February 29) looks on
COW she will wither" In Arabia they
say: "As weak as bissextile camel"
and in Turkey and Tartary they call
all hunchbacks, dwarfs and other
deformed men, women and chill
dren "leap-year freaks" but there
are exceptions to this as we'll as to all
other rules, for we find that in Italy,
Greece and Sicily the rural proverb
says, referring to leap year: "Plant
much corn and vine, it's [the yearl good
for bread and wine" The ancient
Romans considered February 30 a most
critical season, always reckoning It
among their unluclsy days. That this
belief has not by any means lost ground
is evidenced by deep-rooted dislike
parents have to child being born on
leap day, 1t being a popular notion that
to come into the world at such an odd
time is ominous as signifying the babes
speedy exit A variety Of this supersti.
tion exists in Tuscany, and according
to piece OF the folklore OF that coun-
try when child Is born on leap-day
either 1t or its mother will die before
the end Of the year. Hampson in his
"Medii Gvi Kalendarium" quotes the
following from an old Saxon treatise:
"Some assert that the bissextus, or leap
day, comes through this, that Joshua
prayed to God that the sun might stand
still for one days length that he might
sweep the heather from the land. 1t Is
true that the sun did stand still, but the
bissextus is not through this, as some
do think"

How a ConylvIal Company Rid Itaelf OF
an Objectionable Member.
One night not long ago = group OF
kindred spirits were gathered in an up
per room at the house of one OF the
number, the women OF the household
being absent for the evening. The tide
of fmcrriment was flowing genially when
they were joined by an undesirable
young man who may be called Brown,
as that was not his name. They cast
about among themselves as to how they
could get rid of him without giving
offense, and one of the number suddenly
bethought himself Of Il masquerade cos
tune he had constructed, with much
labor and thought, to represent the
Father Of Darkness. Hastily whisper
ing his plan TO his friends, continues the
New York Tribune, he quietly slipped
away from the house, and hurrying
home donned the suit and returned.
Knocking at the door, he inquired Of the
person who answered the summons IL
Brown" was within.
"Yes; step upstairs and you will find
him." was the reply. With much clark
ing Of chains and Gathering Of hoofs he
slowly mounted the stairs and entered
the rom where the company was gath
cred, inquiring for Brown. There was
q scene Of indescribable confusion, the
well-simulated terror OF the rest rem
dering the uninitiated young man al
most helpless from fright; all he was
able 70 do was 10 roll under the table.
At last the others made rush for the
window and, one by one, dropped to the
ground below. As The last one climbed
through the window Brown, who did
not desire 10 be left alone with his Sa-
tanic majesty, made dash at hisn,
caught him in his arms, and with the
strength Of terror drew him back and
flung him across the room. Then leap
Ing himself from the window he started
for home at a rate OF speed which
sprinter might well envy. At every
stride he would cry out until his voice
was lost in the distance:
please, Mr.. Satan, don't take me yet;
please don't take me just yet"
The jokers returned TO the room weak
with laughter, and they have never
since been troubled by call from
Brown, who still persists that the evil
one in person had sought him on that
occasion.
