The Beginning of Methodism.

North of Mason and Dixon's line the
Methodist Episcopal church has organiza-
tons in nearly every county. Though
represented in every state, it is not so
strong in the South as'its sister body, the
Methodist Episcopal Church South, the
statistics of which will be given in forth
coming bulletin. Of the 2. 100 counties in
the states and territories, the Methodist
Episcopal church is represented in all save
$50. Ii has % sol organizations, with D.
Sfi LA church editices, with a Seating ca
pacity OF 6. 302 70S and an aggregate valua-
tion OF $9j 723. 40S. This valuation, which
does not include parsonages and other
church property. is the largest reported by
any denomination thus far, except the Ro-
man Catholic.
Methodisn, which counts many branches
in Great Britain, America and elsewhere,
is the result of movement begun at
Oxford university, England, as early as
1929, by John and Charles Wesley. Their
own account Of its origin is given in these
words:
''In 1929. two young men in England,
reading the Bible. saw they could not be
saved without holiness. followed after it,
and melted others so to do In 1877 they
they are sanctifed, but still holiness was
their object. God then thrust them out to
raise holy people,"
The Weseys, with two others, began to
meet together at Oxford for religious exer-
cises in 1920. In derision they were called
the Holy Club" sBible Bigots, Meth
odists." etc. The lastterm was intended
to describe their methodIcal habits, and it
seems 10 have been accepted by them
almost Immediately, as the movement
they led was soon widely known as the
Methodist movement.
John and Charles Wesley and George
Whiteiied were ordained ministers of the
Church Of England. and it was as Church
OF England clergymen that they began
and carried forward their stirring evange-
listic work. Being excluded rs preachers
of ''new doctrines" from many of the
pulpits of the established church, they
held meetings in private houses. halls,
barns, and fields, receiving many con-
yerts, who were organized into societies
for worship. As their work expanded,
they introduced All order of lay preachers
and established class meetings for the
religious care and training of members
In TIA the first conference was
held, and thereafter Wesley and his
helpers met together annually. Thus was
organized the annual conference, one of
the distinctive institutions of Methodism.
Wesley grouped together several appoint
ments and put them i'll charge of one of
his helpers. This was the beginning OF
the circuit system. He then conceived
the idea of increasing the efficiency of his
preachers by frequent changes in their APP
pointments. This is how the itinerancy
came into existence. The itinerancy is
maintained in nearly all the branches of
Methodism throughout the world, though
it has been realty modified in many cases.

BILLY BOONE.
A Former Sacramento Sport Ends His
Life at the Bay.


William more commonly known as
"Billy'') Boone, native OF this city, sud-
denly ended his life in San Francisco
yesterday afternoon. He was walking in
the vicinity of Ellis and Powell streets,
when he fell to the sidewalk and. soon
expired.
At first it was thought that his death
was due to alcoholism, but it was soon
discovered that he committed suicide.
lie was seen walking across the street,
and as he approached the northeast corner
OF Ellis and Powell he staggered and fell
forward on his face. When the body was
searched at the Morgue an ounce vial,
with small quantity of carbolic acid In
&c, was found in one OF his pockets. Ills
looked as if it had been scared with acid,
and there was a decided odor OF the
deadly drug about him.
Boone was still a young man, being but
~ years of age.
Like his father, he was gambler, and
when faro thrived he was one of the best
known dealers in san Francisco.
lie married about ten years ago, and
had two children. For the past tour years
Boone drank heavily, and lie became so
depraved that his wife was forced to leave
him.
Seven or eight years ago Boone, who
had up to that time been a temperate
man, had accumulated snug little
fortune of some $4,000. He lost it all i'll
stock and other wild speculations, how
ever, and then took to drink. His do
mesIic troubles soon followed.

j. L. Camp of Brighton filed petition
with the County Board of Equalization

assessment on the land of J. b. Haggin

at the same figure at which the bottom
lands on the south side are assessed
from $50 to $3.50 per acre-or reduce the
latter.
The assessment roll shows that Asses

TO lis varying valuations. There are sew
eral hundred acres OF bottom land that is
assessed at from $40 to ol50 per acre, on
the assumption that the land is as Valu-
able as that on the opposite side OF the
river. when in fact 1t is cut OFT from mar
ket Tor portion OF the year by high
water.
The high land running out upon the
plains has been sect0nizeu by the Asses
sor ana taxed according to quallty-some
OF II SI0 10 so or $50, and other portions
at lesser ngures, but averaging from s. to
$40 Tor the poorer sections or parts OF sec

The stallion Salvador is assessed at
> 80, others at from 5000 to 5000, and
yearling colts at 500. In all the assessed
