Business Transacted by the MARYLAND
Protestant Conference.
The fourth days session of the Maryland
conference of the Methodist Protestant
Church was called to order yesterday morn
ing by the president, Rev. J. D. Kinzer. A
decided decrease in the attendance was
noticeable, but Notwithstanding this there
were a number of important matters brought
up and disposed of.
Upon the call OF standing committees the
report of the committee on superannuated
claimants was submitted. recommending an
assessment of $4,000 for the ensuing year.
The faculty of instruction present its report
and recommended that four ministers be
ordained, five received into the itnerancy, two
continue in the hands OF the president and
six applicants be placed IN his hands.
Rev. DR.. Gilbert. secretary of the American
Society Of Religious Education, was intro
duced. He extended an invitation to the con-
ference to attend the anniversary OF that So
ciety in the First Congregational church to-
morrow afternoon.
A breezy rebuke was administered to the
members OF the conference at this iuncture by
President KinZer, who reprimanded them for
neglecting the conierential work by such a
slim attendance. He did not approve of the
assembling on the sidewalk in front of the
church smoking and coDversing while busi-
ness of special interest to them was being dis
cussed inside. Such conduct would bring dis
credit upon the good name Of the conference.
The committee on general home missions
read its report, ding an assessment
of 50 600 FOR the next year.
Rev. Benjamin Stout. corresponding secre-
tary OF the board OF home missions, made an
address before tie conference, and brought
tidings of good cheer from thousands of
Methodist Protestant church members in
various parts Of the country.
The corresponding secretary of the board
Of ministerial education, DR.. J. c. Berrian,
addressed the conference upon the Importance
Of the work with which he was connected.
Officers OF the 5uperannuated Fund Society
were reelected. Or. J. T. Murray, chairman
OF the board OF managers, presented the
annual report of the condition and work of
the society.
After the adjournment at 1890, the men,
bers of the conference, in charge of the COM
mittee on reception arrangements numbering
over $50. left the Congress-street church for
the White House. They were received by
President Cleveland in the east room, and
were presented by Rev. J. D. Kinzer, who
prefaced the introduction with a brief address.
The conference will resume its session Mon
day morning at 8 o'clock.

THE CHINESE TREATY.

The recent Chinese treaty
of is only another attempt on
MEMBER OF the part of the administra-
coscprss FROM tion to place at defiance the
public sentiment of the coun-
oht'oN' try and indirectly to nullify
the exclusion laws. These laws were violated
BY the Executive in his refusal to execute them,
even after their constitutionality had been
affirmed by the Supreme Court. Then Con-
gress extended the time for registration and
reaffirmed the determination of the people
for the exclusion Of Chinese. Now comes
this treaty In the face OF congressional legis-
lation, and. as II in rebuke. extends and en-
larges the privileges which Congress restricts.
To permit the return to a registered China
man who pretends to have a wife. or prop
erty, or debts in the United States is most
farcical.
None know this better than the people OF
the Pacific Coast. The courts every day wit
ness the most wanton perjury by witnesses
testifying to marriages with Chinese women.
It is practically impossible for the govern
ment to negative such proof. Easier still is it
possible to smuggie into the country on the
perjured showing as to Indebtedness. Among
that people there is no oath where exclusion
laws stand in the way. With equal facility
can the laborer before leaving our country
file with the customs collector a description
Of his family, or property, or debts. The re-
turn certificate, too. having performed its ser
vice, can be returned by mail to China and
again be used by another. unless some photo
graphic check accompanies It to identify the
.1aborer with the certificate. This certificate
n not delivered up to the customs Office and
held by him, bus the treaty merely requires
that it shall be produced to the officer.
A greater abuse than all will be in the privi-
lege accorded teachers, students, merchants.
or travellers coming to the United
States and residing therein upon their

SCHOOL CHILDREN AND CANDY.

Crowds of Pupils Flock to the Exposition
at Light Infantry Armory.
The school children of the city turned out
in force to visit the candy exposition at the
Washington Light Infantry armory yesterday
afternoon. Representatives from nearly every
public school in Washington took advantage
of the reduced price Of admission and over
$500 entered during the day. Besides the
children there was large crowd OF parents.
and the older folks seemed to take as much
delight in the pleasure of the younger visitors
as they did in the numerous temptations OF
the sweets.
The hundreds OF electric lights and the pro-
fuse decorations OF multi-colored bunting
never formed surroundings for prettier
scene. and the band as it rolled out such
strains as Wang" "hIanhattan March, " and
my Dream Waltz" afforded additional en-
joyment to the children.
Until o'clock the crowds kept coming and
going, each pupil going out with a box OF
candy under his arm.

States consular or diplomatic rep resenta-
tives. They do not know whether the appli-
cant is "teacher. student, merchant or trsv-
eler." No investigation is prescribed to as
certain such fact. Any quantity Of these peo-
pie may merely assert themselves to belong
to these classes and then obtain the coveted
certificate from the Indifferent Chinese OH
cials. and after landing in our country, we
soon behold the ''teacher, student or mer-
chant" working in the mines, at the mills,
and in the factories. Without the photo
graphic feature and great care in certifying
as to the occupation the treaty Is farce,
delusion, and fraud on American labor,
and a studied notification OF the exclusion
laws of Congress. BINGFR HEnMASS.

Of Dr. Gibson. one OF the staff consulting ply

no morals--or needs none. When a woman
marries it is her business to find out that the
man has character. II she takes him know
ing that he has none, then she will have to
suffer the consequences. and oftentimes the
consequences are very bitter.
A witness testified in the Breckinridge-
Pollard case yesterday whose evidence, as
far as she gave any of importance, was in
favor of the defendant. 1t was not of much
moment either way, but the gentlemanly
manner Of obtaining it, so like Col. Breckin-
ridges habtual gallant manner, now become
famous. perhaps deserves to serve as an
illustr ,iion. The witnuss is clerk in one of
the government offices. Col. Breckenridge
called personally for her in his carriage. She
seems to be most exemplary woman, but
necessarily such an attention from Kentucky
gentleman must have made an impression.
In fact. she acknowledged how entirely re-
fined and distinguished and pleasing he was
to her when she returned to her desk from
the one romance of her life, maybe. In
after years, perhaps, she will be Gble
to speak OF Col. Breckenridge to her
grandchildren as grandmotners used OF
old to speak to their grandchildren
of General Washington. Desha Breckinridge
brought the lady back to the office In car
riaye, which added to her joy. He was such
a nice gentleman, too, and young. It de-
velops that Col. Breekinridge questioned tho
lady on that eventful carriage ride as to
Miss Pollard's manner and general bearing In
the office when they were together. She told
the colonel that Miss Pollard was always per-
fectly proper, one Of the quietest and most
modest women in the office. and that every
one regarded her with the greatest respect.
It naturally happened after this that her evil
dence I'm this direction was not asked for in
the witness box. In other lines she told but
the truth. of course, as she saw it, helped by
the pre-application of Col. Breckenridge 8
eloouence. But the women who will talk in
this Office say that they thought she intended
to testify In favor Of Miss Pollard.

From the Chicago Inter-0cean.
Since Sir Walter Raleigh introduced the
use Of tobacco to the Caucasian race, My
Lady Nicotine has been raising havoc
with the finances of her devotees, and now
comes w. A. Fay with Utopian scheme
whereby investing money in cigars be-
comes like putting it in a savings bank.
Mr.. Fay proposes to organize a club Of
800 men, who are to daily invest 80 cents
In cigars. This means $3.50 per day, and it
Is argued that II this number of smokers
can be induced to work on a united plan of
action the profits at the end of year
would be something like $4,000. This sum
well invested would yield revenue which
with subsequent yearly profits, would soon
prove a highly profitable investment Aided
by the reverie-producing azure haze Of q
good cigar the sanguine believers in the
plan can see not many years of a mag
nificent sky-scraper of an office building
owned by the members Of the Smokers
Investment Company"
There Is one strong point In favor of the
scheme, and that Is the fact that those
who go into 1t are not taking any chances
to lose and they may win. II a man Is
going to spend so cents a day for cigars
and there are hundreds of men in this
city who do, he might as well buy them at
some place where he has a chance to Sc
cure a benefit from the profits on his daily
expenditure. or course a gilt-edged, iron
clad financial committee would be part of
the concern. The only thing that can be
urged against Mr.. Fay at the present time
Is that he describes himself as a "cigarist."

Catarrh and Deafness.
I'M the Popular Health Magazine.

From the Popular Health Magazine
In this season of colds and coughs, at
tention to and protection of the throat
should not be forgotten. By protection is
not meant bundling up the throat with silk
muffiers, but protection of the whole body,
and if possible an exposure and hardening
of the neck to the cold. This last Ia i'm
portant not only on account Of the throat
itself, but because Of so maIly cases Of
catarrh which affect the ear and cause
deafness. Indeed, some physicians say that
the fact has been demonstrated beyond a
question that aside from rupture of the ear
drum, there is scarcely symptom of de-
fective hearing which Is not traceable to
the condition of the nose and throat. Also
il has been said that the use of smelling
salts is one of the most prolific causes Of
deafness, operating by weakening the OIL
factory nerves, and through them the au-
ditory system. All strong or pungent odors
should be avoided as far as possible, es-
peclally those which act upon the secretory
processes. Any signs of chronic colds
catarrhs or lasting sore throat should never
be allowed to run on without treatment
for fear of the complicating deafness.

A RUNAWAY STAR.
II Moves at the Rate of 200 Miles q
Second.

From All the Year Around
The greatest velocity that has oeen
recognized among the stars Is found In the
motion OF a star known as 1880 Groom
bridge, or the runaway star" as 1t Is
sometimes called, which is believed to be
rushing through space at the rate Of WO
miles per second. This star appears to be
moving in a perfectly straight line through
the sky and 1t may be visiting our star
system for the first time, but whence 1t
came or whittier 1t is going no one can tell,
and il is a great enigma to astronomers.
Its wonderful velocity cannot be ex-
planned, as Ii is far greater than could De
produced by the influence Of all known
orbs in the universe, and, on the other
hand, the combined attraction Of all the
stars cannot stop this wanderer In Its soil
tary flight through space, until II has
rushed on to the remoter distances, be-
yond which the largest telescopes have
never penetrated.
1t has been Mechanically demonstrated
that a body approaching the center of our
system from an infinite distance cannot
move with a greater velocity than twenty
five miles a second, II influenced by the at
traction of the masses in our universe
alone, but here We have been considering
a star moving with eight times that We
locity, and still, notwithstanding the fact
that IL has the greatest motion known
among stars, 1t would require $4,000 years
for this remarkable star to complete an
entire circuit around the heavens.

EXPENSIVE STAMPS.
One Is ON Sale in London Now Mt the
Modest Price of $4,000.

From Black and White.
The philatelic world has been futtered
by a recent important event. for it is an
pounced that the vice president Of the Lon
don Philatelic Society has sold all his
stamps. The affair certainly becomes in
teresting when we learn the price COM
manded by the few thousand little bits Of
paper.
A firm which deals in these light and
airy trifies secured the vice presidents
entire collection, and gave no less than
$4,000 for it.
This, we understand. is the largest price
ever paid for collection of stamps,
though 1T is said that the treasures in this
sort recently beQueathed by member of
parliament to the British museum would
have fetched a higher figure If put up 20
public auction.
A London establishment Is just now ad-
vertisng single stamp, valued at $12, 800
but whether any intending purchaser will
be found willing to receive it In eXchang e
for that sum remains to be seen. The
Duke of York, already known as keen
connoisseur, Is said to be anxious to pur-
chase this great stamp.
Experts declare that there is no better
investment for money nowadays than
stamps. If that be SO they will become an
object of fascination to many who at pres
ent take little delight in them.

ILLEGAL TO BOYCOTT.
Decision In the Case of the Fight
Against the Newark, N. j., Times.

Decision In the Case of the Fight
Against the Newark, N. j., Times.
Vice Chancellor Green of New Jersey yes
to-day filed a decision that will be of in
terest to trades organizations, according to
the New York Sun. 1t is in the application
of Thomas c. Bar, late proprietor of the
Newark Times, seeking an injunction re-
straining the Essex Trades Council from
carrying on a boycott against his paper.
A permanent injunction Is granted, with
out costs. 1t restraints the Essex Trades
Council, which is composed of representa-
tives of different trade organizations, from
distributing or circulating any circulars,
printed resolutions or other publications
containing appeals Or threats against the
Times with the design of interfering with
its business, and from making threats or
using intimidation toward the dealers or
advertisers in the paper tending to cause
a with travail of their patronage.
The Newark Times suspended publication
few weeks ago. Its death was caused in
part by the action of the trades council
acting in conjunction with Newarks typo
graphical union, which attempted to pre-
vent MIR. Barr from using plate matter in
his newspaper. Mr.. Barr persisting, the
union printers quit work and non-union
men were employed.
The trades council took up the fight for
the union, urged it's members to boycott
the paper and attempted to persuade busi-
ness men from advertising in it.
