Yesterday morning at II o'clock wa:
the time set for hearing the cases Of Jen'
ME Banks, Mary Lou Irwin, Lula and
Hattie Dodson r )bert Banks and Elizs
Garth, charged with grand larceny. Long
before the time set the city hall was vel
filled with both white and black. all
curious to know the result of tie hearing,
About twelve witnesses were examined
by the court, including all those store
keepers who have lost goods supposed to
have been taken by these defendants.
After hearing the evidence In the case,
Justice Wynn released Eliza Garth, there
being no proof against her, while three
calls were made against each of the
other defendants and the bands placed at
$500 in every case. They were of course
unable to make same now languish : be-
hind the bars. 1t was afterwards decided
to withdraw two of the charges against
Robt. Banks, 50 there remains only one
case booked to his credit.
The proceedings were quite lengthy,
lasting from II a. m. until p. m. and
were very interesting indeed with the ex,
ception of the evidence of one of the girl
defendants who gave some rather racey
testimony in her behalf.

LARGE DELEGATION.
An Interesting SeSsion-TWO
New Bishops Will Be
Elected.

MEMPHIS, 1ENN., MAY !, IOot.
Editor Gazette:
Perhaps your many readers would
like to hear few words from our
general conference.
The General Conference was call
ed to order last Tuesday morning by
Bishop j. A. Bebee, Senior Bishop
of the church.
Quite number Of delegates had
arrived from all over the country.
This conference is one of the most
enthusiastic that has ever been in
our church. The delegation is COM
posed largely of young men who are
hight educated. Prof. j. w. Gil
bert, of Augusta, Ca, who is one of
the youngest delegates here, is the
first negro in America and is said 20
be the only Negro in the world who
has graduated in Greek in the col
lege of Greece. He first graduated
iu Greek in college in Rhode Is v
land.
Bishop Halsey read the Bishops
message last Friday. It was an in
teresting message.
Bishop Lane is uoing good work
for the conference. Two days were
spent in seating the deleg ates.
The various committees were ap>
pointed on Friday.
The welcome address was deliver
ed by Prof. G. G. Marcus of the city
schools. The address was scholarly
and we'll delivered. 1t was respond.
ed to by DR.. r. E. Hart, of South
Carolina in an eloquent manner.
Conference is in session at Collins
Chapel, one of the finest colored
churches in Memphis.
Quite a number of addresses of
the highest order have been deliver
ed before the assembly.
We have been able to learn more
of the greatness of our church here
than we ever knew before.
The election of Bishops is anxs
iously looked forward to. The eleca
ton will take place Wednesday,
May 9: Two Bishops will be elect
ed There are quite number of
aspirants for the Office Of bishoprlc.
Among them are DR.. Hart, of South
Carolina, Rev. G, S. Jackson, OF
Texas, DIR. E. Cottrel, of Tennessee,
Rev. r. s. Williams, of Georgia,
DR.. C. II. Philips, of Kentucky and
Rev. S. B. Wallace. of Warrington,
d. c.
There are others also of smaller
importance.
The race will be strictly between
four men viz: r S. Williams, E.
Cartrell, Drs. r. T. Brown and G.
81. Philips. 1t is thought that Will
liams and Brown will be successful.
Much interest is being manifested
lin this election and but little work
| will be accomplished until the elec-
ton is over.
| Each of these candidates have
! strong supporters and not much con-
1 clusion can be drawn until the cleo
ton.

Suggestions For Highway Improve1n.

S~~o9S0SA~AC = OA
There is no argument against higl>
Improvement The only question is as
cost. While certain farming neighbo2-
hoods Of the west have excellent hard
roads, made Of gravel and perfectly good
the year round, it will be a long time
before such improvements will become
general. Meanwhile there should be an
Improvement in roadmaking methods.
The system by which farmers work out
their road taxes by scraping the mud
that has been washed off the roads into
the cutters or bitches back again into
the roadways ought to be abandoned.
Road taxes should be collected in
cash, as school taxes are, and expended
in accordance with some we'll defined
plan looking to the permanency Of the
work done. Suitable machinery should
be purchased. bitches should be dug.
Thing should be put in, and the use Of
wagons with broad tires should be in.
sisted on The work should be carried
forward year by year on scientific prin-
ciples by competent men,. and the cost
would not be greater than the present
wasteful methods.
The result would be that in few
years the highways would be practically
all that the farmer would require for
the economical and easy handling Of
his business, &C Chicago Record

and beauty. All sorts of cloth, silk, plush,
brocade, velvet and damasse effects in wool
are used, while the variety of styles is inf
mite. .-..<.a
One, plain full circular of heavy cloth,
has revers of velvet, edged with ermine
reaching to the bottom, and short double
cape orlwide collar, also trimmed with er-
mine. The capes being full give the gar
ment high shouldered effect. On the
other hand, an English model shows the
fullness mainly gathered in at the back of
the neck. A short, rather scant cape falls
oyer the long cloak as far as the elbow,
bordered with fur, as are the front edges Of
the cloak. T. - -:
Over this again is asort of fur pelerine of
an old fashioned shape, which gives the
shoulders an extreme slope. Delicately
tinted silks of changeable hues are used for
the lining of these luxurious wraps in pref
erence to fur, which, adds much to their
weight. Fur bands are used for trimming
almost entirely, however, and the gradu-
ated triple cape, both large and small,
| proclaims it's popularity here as plainly as
in street garments. ~
| A particularly pretty opera cloak made
! of brocade shows these three ecapesconspicu-
! ously. The first, bordered with band of

| the skirt. The second falls below the hips.
while the third ends just above the elbow.
The two shorter capes are edged with sable
tails as well as with the fur bands. Acape-

& full Grape vest, is bordered with the same
trimming. Tight Grape cuffs extend to the
elbow, while Grape epaulets fall over the
puff that forms the upper part Of the sleeve.
Grape is still the orthodox material for
mourning, although it is so unserviceable
stuff. WOolen Grape and crepons, henriet-
ta, serge, camel's hair ard all dull finished
black cloths are employed, while some
beautiful black silk crepons are shown
among the new spring goods, having mar:
row plain silk stripe, or q silk stripe with a
sort of ruff1ed effect, or the goods, instead
of being striped, are sprinEled with plain
silk fecks. For warm weather grenadine,
nuns yelling and plain black silk net may
also be used. Ample wells of the latter are
far better for summer wear than the suffo-
eating Grape ones and are quite as complete
mourning. - - . ...
The custom of wearing black lisse or
tulle ruchings next the neck and wrists is
one to be followed with caution, as the dye
is usually not fast in those materials and is
apt to come off upon the skin under the in
fuence of warmth or dampness. A fold OF
dull china silk or a plating of silk net is a
safer finish to adopt
A spring mourning toilet is shown made
of dull finished and woolen material. It has
a round bell skirt trimmed with three bias
bands of Grape of different widths. The
plain corsage has short basque and opens
in front over full vest of black gauze con

sleeves are trimmed with Grape. A triple
