Evanston, ILL.,, becoming president of the
institution in 1879. He was elected
bishop in 1884.
No unusua! demands will be made by
the conference this year it is said. One
matter that will be discussed at the con-
ference will be the method of caring for
superannuated preachers. A radical
change in the system is proposed.
Hitherto the funds have been divided ac-
cordlng to needs, without regard to past
service. 1t is now proposed to divide
into two sums all moneys received for
distribution among conference claimants.
The first sum, IS per cent. Of the whole,
will be called the annuity fund; the re-
naming 25 per cent will be called the
necessitous fund and will be divided
among such claimants as are not suffi-
GENTLY provided for by their annuities.
The annuity fund is to be divided on the
following basis: Each minister to re-
ceive annually $40 for each year of his
effective service; each widow to receive
one-half of her husbands claim; each
child one-fifth of it's fathers claim-the
claim to be paid pro rata from the
moneys in hand.

These Have Made a Young De
teetiVe Great.
A MAN OF EXPERIENCE WITH
CRIMINALS OF ALL CLASSES,
He Talks About a Matter of the Greatest
Interest.

Phenomenal indeed is the energy
which has placed young detective Phil
lip S. Honeyman at the head as general
superintendent of the great National De-
tective Agency of 81 Fulton ST., Brook
Ign, NY. Although still a young man, he
has now a name which many older detect
ives might well envy, and the scope OF
bis business is almost world wide. But
like many men of great ability and am
bition, Mr.. Honeyman broke down for
time under the strain of his excessive
labors. He is at present, however, in
sound health and full of his old energy
and enthusiasm.
Eyes was completely broken down in
health, The said,s' and suffered from
extreme exhaustion and could not rest
day or night,
II had an all gone feeling in my stom-
ach and terrible palpitation at my
heart
II had to give up business for some
time and after consulting and treating
with twovery good physicians with no
benefit, I at last tried DIR. Greene's
Neryura blood and nerve remedy.
II have taken two bottles and the all
gone feeling has disappeared, as also has
the palpitation at my heart.

and must say it was DIR. Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy that has
restored me back to health again.
ssThis wonderful remedy is worth it's
weight in gold, for found it to do just
as it was said it would do, and will
never do without!tit in my house."
This is especially good news at this
season of the year for most everybody
needs spring medicine. So many peo-
pie are run down in the spring, feel
weak, tired, languid and nervous, and
lack their usual strength. energy and
ambition, that Detective Honeyman's
recommendation of DIR, Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy to restore
health and yigor comes just at the right
time. It's purely vegetable and harm
less and is sold by all druggists for $1.00
What rnakesNit most popular as the
best and most used spring medicine is
the fact that it is the prescription and dis
covery of a physician, Dr.. Greene, of 80
Temple Place, Boston, Mass, who is the
most successful specialist in curing nerv-
GUS and chronic diseases. The Doctor
can be consulted free, personally OF by

WlLLisToN CHURCH CROWDED.
Earnest Young Endeavorers Learn the
Meaning of Team Work.

Williston church was glled to overflow
ing last evening with young people, the
occasion being the monthly meeting of
the Portland local union of Christian En-
deavor societies. The first of the even
ing, from until $50. was spent socially,
the church vestry being charmingly ar
ranged by the young ladies of the Willis
ton society. Misses Kenworthy, Jordan
and Alice and Gertrude Burrowes served
chocolate from tables decorated with
flowers and illumined by the rays .of
banquet and piano lamps.
Promptly at $50 the notes of the organ
summoned those in the vestry to the
body of the church. After several famil-
! lar hymns had been rendered in a man
| ner which would be revelation to some
who believe congregational singing to
have gone by, Mr.. Noyes, president of
the union, opened the meeting with a
| few words. Prayer was then offered by
Rev. Dwight M. Pratt, pastor of Williston
| church, who at it's close introduced Rev.
OdluSo IL. I'LL, IL II. VI IMOuiOloS Meboo.,
trustee of the united society, as ''a
Hill of Zion.''
Mr.. Hill then spoke on the subject of
'sTeam Work." holding the close atten-
ton of all present for more than an hour.
His remarks were so interspersed with
illustrations as to keep his hearers in
happy mood. One of the most desirable
things, said DIR. Hill, to be emphasized
was the power of friendship, the ability
of winning hearts. One should grapple
with hooks of steel friends to himself.
Develop this power. The power to con-
| fer was another. Some are self pushing
| and desire to carry out only their own
ideas, but everybody is wiser than any
body. Again, DR.. Clarke understood
| that hitherto undiscovered Christian
earnestness of young people,. that deep
| tone of spiritual earnestness. He threw
himself on the heroism of young hearts
and never failed to get response.
| Christian Endeavor started full f1edged;
| its progress has been in numbers, but its
| idea was fully developed at first. 1t diff
| fers from every other kind of church
work in this, that every one, on joining,
| becomes either an active member who
pledges himself to lead Christian life,
| or an associate member who does not 30
pledge himself. Thus the issue is forced
| The two are shut up together.
DR., Hill, then passing to his immediate
subject, illustrated team work by the
sacrifice hitter on tie ball field. who
| yielded his own intere SITS for the sake of
his team. The society, and not the indi-
vidual, is the thing to work for. This
| produces a leveling up process which
brings the weaker members to the stand
ard of the strong, and in gatherings of
the Union it brings the feebler societies
to the strength of the more powerful.
The absence of team work is like
heavy load with one OK in position and
the other refusing to be yoked with him,
which typifes the minister whose helpers
are reluctant to perform their share of
the burden. The best thing societies
can do is to gather in those who are lean
| ing toward them. Those whose heads
are right but who have not yet fallen in
to the line as active and aggressive work

WILL LEAVE WAUKESHA.
Rumor That the Hygeia Bottling Works
Will Go to Big Bend

Waukesha, Wis, July 9.-It is re-
ported that the whole bottling plant of
the Hygeia Spring will soon be removed,
Mr.. McElroy feeling especially indig-
nant over the recent destruction OF
property in the pavilion. The statue
which was mutilated represents an out
lay of $500.
The bottling works will be removed
to Chicago or Big Bend, probably the
latter place. Chicago capitalists are
ready to invest money and build up
the town. Gerald Fit0gibbons, a
wealthy man who is financially interest
ed in Hygeia, is responsible for the
statement that seven Chicago facte1ies
are anxious to locate in Big Bend and
probably will If the bottling business
is established there. 1t is said that the
pavilion will also be removed.

FADS OF THE SEASON.

Special books are fad this season,
especially those for youthful brides. A
beautiful volume containing four orig
inal sonnets done in antique silver let
tering upon rough-edged parchment,
has centre piece upon the outside Of
old Flemish lace, bordered with small
imitation pearls. Orange buds and
leaves are embroidered in groups on
both sides of the white satin cover, and
silver filigree protectors lop over the
corners. The richest covers for brides
prayer books, which contain only the
marriage service, are Of MORE or silk,
suede kid, or of white satin, moire or
silk corduroy. The last-named material
admits of but little embroidery and
this appears at the corners, the brides
initials in silver taking the centre Of the
cover in front. The reverse has the
date Of the marriage, also In silver let
tering. For covers of white satin or
MORE narrow borders Of ecclesiastical
coaching in silver thread and eccleSi-
astical silk are used.
