There were seventy-hve dele- gates present, representing twenty five clubs in all the principal cities and towns of the state. President Frederick B.

 The revision committee reported recommending the increase in the num- Der of vice presidents from four to eight. Each county win now have one In the representation of clubs each one heretofore has been allowed four Hereafter an additional delegate will be allowed for every 100 members or fraction thereof, over 200 It was also voted to hereafter hold annual meet lngs about the second Tuesday in April, the date to be fixed by the executive committee.

Exciting Time on the Property of Mrs.
 Winchester Last Evening.
 Shortly before o'clock last evening five shots were distinctly heard on the property of Mrs. Winchester on proS- pect street. For several years past Su- pernumerary Allen has been employed by Mrs. Winchester to look after hen property at night. Last evening she was away and Supernumerary Allen was on duty as usual patrolling the grounds in front of the house.
 Shortly before o'clock Allen saw a man skulking along behind trees in the direction of the house. When about ten feet away Allen called to the man to stop, but the only answer he received was a, shot from a revolver in the hands of the stranger closely followed by two others. Fortunately the shots went wide of their mark and the supernumer- ary was uninjured.
 After some delay Allen succeeded in getting his revolver out of his pocket and fired two shots at the fast-retreat- ing stranger, but his shots also went wide of the mark and the man escaped

HIDES TRIAL POSTPONED
ONLY FOUR COMPASSIONATE WERE
 PRESENT LAST NIGHT.

Trial Must Take Place Before Full Board-- . Meeting Adjourned Subject to the Call
 of the President-Many Witnesses Were
 Present.
 For the second time the trial of Pa trolman George L. Hyde accused of utter.rg false and scandaious stories apeu Captain James Wclnn. has been again continued, this tnne subject to the call of the president os the board. The reason for the poSspn1eInent last night was that all the members of the board were not present and is wss decided not to try t'.4 case until such time as a full board shall be present.
 The trial was to have been held in the city court room at o'clock ari at that hour both Capa,n W.inn naI PGtroman Hyde, eacn with a host cf witnesses were present. as well as a large number of spec.ators. In tie meant me the com ni ; '..rrs tbem- selves were holding meeting in their rcom down stairs. Hut four members Of tE, board we e presen-, Comn1is- s!cne,s Prince, Hlbinger, Moran and (;lhuly After a sho.t .,me Comnlis- S.0ner Etolittle 2ama ID bu, stated that he could not remain as he was too sick to attempt to do any business or take any part in the trial and imne- diateiy went home
 At this point Commissioner Gilhuly announced that he would not consent to proceed with the trial nor would he take any part in the proceedings until such time as the full board could be present.
 The four members of the board then waited while longer in the hope that Commissioners Doolittle and Toronto would put in an appearance, but their hopes were in vain and finally the quar- tet ascended the stairs to the city couru room. Upon their arrival there the meeting was called to order by Com- missioner Prince at exactly 8:26 o'clock.
 Alter considerable discussion Conl- missioner Moran said: 'I'll make . motion. There Is no sense in adjourn ing to a given time unless We know when we can have a full board. Under the circumstances will move that we adjourn until such time as the prcsi- dent can arrange to have all the nlenn- bers present.
 This motion was promptly seconded by Commissioner Gilhuly and unani- mously prevailed, after which the nAet- ing adjourned. A few seconds later Commissioner Toronto came in and ex- plained that he had been out of town during the day and had only arrived in the city last evening. His late ar rival, however, had n effect upon the trial being postponed, sfor even had he been there all through the evening the trial could not have gone on in the absence of Commissioner Doohttle.

DR.. WELLS RESIGNS
A SURPRISE FOR THE WOR-
SHIPPERS OF PLYMOUTH
CHURCH.
NO REASON FOR HIS ACTION
OTHER THAN A DESIRE FOR
REST-WILL RETIRE WITH
THE OLD YEAR
SWEDISH CHURCH DEDICATED.
Scandinavians Hold Services in
-n" New Mission Church.
Minneapolis News.

The people of the Plymouth Con-
gregational church were surprised
yesterday morning when DR.. George
Fl. Wells, their pastor, announced to
them that he had decided to resign
his pastorate of Plymouth church.
And during the day, as the news
spread about the city. expressions of
profound regret and surprise were
heard on every hand among the peo-
pie of all churches. DR.. Wells resig-
nation came entirely as surprise to
his own people, and when he read
his letter at the morning service his
congregation received the informa-
ton at first-hand. Not an intimation
had been dropped that he had any in
tention of giving up his work, and
the members of his church had not
the slightest idea that they would be
called upon in years to come to part
with their minister. But two of the
officials of the church were prepared
for the event. At the close of the
service, members began to discuss
the matter. Only expressions of re-
gret were heard everywhere, and
many and many tried to find cour-
age and hope in arguing that their
pastor would probably reconsider his
action if the church only urged him to
do so unanimously.
The letter which DR.. Wells read
yesterday morning to his people was
as follows:
"To the officers and Members of
Plymouth Church and Congregation:
Dear Friends-Feeling deeply the
burdens of my present position, both
those belonging directly to the home
field and those connected with the
in this region, and hoping devoutly
that my withdrawal may open the way
for a more able and efficient leader,
l hereby tender the resignation OF my
Dec %, the last Sabbath of the cur
rent year 1 ask you to accept this
action and unite with me in calling
an ecclesiastical council for the or
derly dissolution of the relation which
exists between us. In doing this. l
desire to express my deep apprec1a-
ton of the kindness l have here re
ceived, and to record my earnest
prayer for the future prosperity and
Increase. of this people in every good
your friend and servant in the gospel,
George H. Wells"
DR.. Wells was seen yesterday aft
ernoon and said that he could not
add any information to what was
contained in his letter. He had said
what he meant and meant what he
said, and he hoped that no miscon-
struction would be put upon his res
ignation. That he is very much worn
out from overwork is well-known
fact, and his resignation will afford
him the opportunity he desires for
much-needed rest. He said that he
had absolutely no idea as to what
his future plans would be. Not
single thing did he have in view
when he resigned, so far as any new
work was concerned. He has had no
call from any other church, and will
not take up any line of work that
he now knows of when he lays down
his Minneapolis charge.
