The Conference Historical Society,"
Records in Permanent Form.

The ,hief aim of the Troy conference
historical society, whose headquarters
are in the chapel of the State street
church, Troy, is to gather for preserva-
ton the literary productions of its men,
bers, histories of its churches and auto
biographies of its ministers. Thus far
the success has been worthy of consider
alton. Besides being the chief channel
of communication between the many
contributors and the archivist, Rev. DR..
Bostwick Hawley of Saratoga Springs
has donated to the society copy of each
of his books, pamphlets and tracts, ex-
cepting only his contributions to the
periodical literature of the church. He
has now put in permanent form for this
society several manuscripts and 1npub-
lished lectures, essays and critical arti-
clos, covering wide range of topics,
which were prepared for and delivered
before institutions of learning and min
isterial associations, dating from 1889 to
1893.
1t is DR.. Hawley's intention also to do
a similar thing with his later lectures
and sermons. DR.. Hawley is also gath
ering and arranging in permanent form
for the same purpose such ordination
parchments of the older and the de-
ceased members of Troy conference as
he can, both because of their character
and standing and for the sake of having
the autographs of the bishops who or
dained them. In this volume are also
engravings and photographs of promi-
nent ministers and historic scenes relat-
ing to early Methodism, both general
and local.

between them have been many and Tabor
has been arrested two or three times on
trivial offenses, and brought before the
Municipal Court, but always discharged.
| The opposition to Tabor was so out

mill of Holden, Leonard & Co., at the
request of the men who appear to be
afraid of him. Sunday the conflicting
parties met and for time the air and
neighborhood was hot Every one was
trying to see which could overtalk the
other, and the scene Of the conflict was
finally moved up into Main street The
parties were arrested and Monday
brought before the Municipal Court.
There it was picnic, and much amuse-

dished into each other faces, and per-

could stop them. Finally quiet was re-
stored enough so that the Judge after
threatening to fine them for contempt of

Marked Cards.

The prize Of all poker cheating devices
In the marked cards. Why, me lads, they
are painting cards now that the lad who
is on can read them block, but the guy
that Is not on--not in a million years could
he get on. Within the past few years great
improvements have been made In this
branch Of advantage playing Cards are
sold, apparently Of the ordinary patterns,
but In reality marked microscopioally.
Even gambler who IL thoroughly convers-
ant with ordinary marked cards can de-
tect nothing wrong about these. But with
them are sold eyeglasses, the lenses Of
which are divided into two portions. The
upper part Is clear glass, but the lower sec
tion Of each IL a magnifying glass OF great
power. The po-sessor usuuily has another
pair Of glasses, apparently similar, but in
reality both sections OF the latter are clear
glass, and these he wears constantly. But
when he sits down 10 a game he exchanges
for the ether pair, and when he deals,
looking down at the cards through the
lower halves Of the lenses he reads the
cards AZ readily as II they we're dealt face
up.
Talk about your cold deck IN and strip
pers and 30 on, but they are not In It with
the painted cards. So take High Cards
advice and don't play poker with stran-
