At Laurel, Del, yesterday President
]. d. Kinser, of the Maryland Annual
Conference of the Methodist Protestant
Church, submitted his annual report.
The total number of conversions were
about twenty-four hundred, while the
money raised for church and parsonage
improvements amounted to nearly $50
600. The president did not think the
general progress throughout the dis
trct had been what it should have
been: one cause assigned being made
ouate support of the pastors, but he
said that this was not wholly the fault
of the laymen. The church, he said,
responded quickly to the spirit of con-
secration and efficient work in the
pulpit and homes of the people, and
the aggressive missionary spirit Of the
fathers was needed to-day.
The condition Of the Western Maryland
College was reported to be ilOurishing, there
being 200 students nOw in attendance, the
largest number in the history of the institu-
ton. In the Westminster Theological Semi
nary there are thirty-fve students preparing
for The ministry. The work of the Baltimore
Church Extension Society was highly com
mendcd aud the conference was urged to
give a more general support to the literature
of the church. The need for reviving inter
est in Sunday schools was commented on,
sab-district conventions and mass.meetings
being suggested as good means Of accomplish
ing this purpose.
At the afternoon session. Rev. j. d. Kinser
was reelected president of the conference,
Rev. II. L. Elderdicc, was elected secretary,

4 LITTLE GIRL BURGLAR.-1lna
Bennick, aged ten years, was arrested
at midnight Sunday night in the act OF
breaking into safe in the Henry Wahi
store. in the suburbs of Rochester, \.
V. Patrolman Aliens attention was
attracted by sounds of pounding in the
store. Upon investigation he was con-
WINGED that q burglar was operating on
the safe in the store. He forced his
way in, breaking open the front door:
He was greatly surprised TO find instead
of burglar armed to the teeth, a young
girl standing in front Of the safe hold
ing a hammer with which she had been
attempting to break the combination
knob. She had only succeeded in bat
tering it badly. 4 glance about the
store revealed the fact that the girl had
been operating on the cash drawer with
a can opener, which lay near it. The
child cried and begged the officer to let
her 90. as she had never done anything
of the kind before. Patrolman Allen
took the child to the home of her par
euts on Widman street, and on Mon
dav procured a warrant, which was
served Yesterday. The district attor.
nev asked that the child be held
for the grand jury, and that she be
committed TO the State Industrial
School. Humane Agent Groot asked
that she be placed in the custody of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, pending the disposition of the
case by the grand jury. The case was
adjourned.
