MORMON CONFERENCE.
Opening Exercises or the Annual
Meeting lin the South.

Vanceburg. KY. July 31.-Betwecn Tor
~ and fifty Mormon elders participated
today in the opening exercises of the an
nual West Virginia conference OF the Nor
mon church.. and the jurisdiction OF which
Includes eastern Kentucky. The Southern
States Mission is also represented by Pres
ident Elias s. Kimball OF Chattanooga.
The conference is presided over by Elder
w. Il. Rydalch, formerly professor OF the
university at Provo City, Utah, and now
president OF this conference. His period
or mission work has nearly expired, and
he will shortly resume his former voca-
ton. In an in,Jrview he said. 'Our chief
object In prosecuting our work in the
south. and IN fact everywhere else, Is to
remove the unjust prejudice that has been
created against us. We worship the same
God and follow the same Christ that you
do. The same bible which enshrines your
faith Is the basis of ours. A belief in the
one does not interfere with a belief I'm the
other. They are not contradictory but
are altogether harmonious. We receive no
salary for our services, nor do we accept
voluntary contributions. Our plan Is sim
pie. In the first place a man 10 be APP
pointed an elder must have a competency,
and Is only required to do missionary work
Tor two years. We do not believe In
polygamy. j have a wife and two chill
dren. and they are all / care to have or
wish to take care Of. We have selected
this place for our conference because the
church has been accorded more liberation
here than at any other point in the terri
tory. After a session Of three days we VIII
proceed to organize several churches in
this and adjoining counties.

A SUCCESS ANYHOW.
Refusal OF Reduced Rates viii Not
Make T. q. o. +. .Sncampment az
louisville a Failure.

Chicago, July 3E-Members Of the s.
OF V. and Of the /. O. O. II. say that the
refusal OF the Western Passenger asso-
citation TO grant a one-fare rate for the
annual encampment at Louisville dur
ing the second week in September, and
for the meeting of the sovereign grand
lodge of the second named organization
at Dallas, Tex, during the last of that
month, will 10 materially affect the at
tendance of either gathering, although
there will be a small proportion of the
membership to which the difference in
the cost of transportation will be suffl-
Client to keep them away. There are
grounds for the belief, moreover that
within a few weeks some of the lines
concerned, as vas the case at the time
of the rumpus over Grand Army rates,
may kick the traces and determine to
give a one-fare rate, no matter whether
their competitors like it or not. 1t Is ad-
mltted that the roads comprising the
Western Passenger association were not
unanimous I'm fixing the rate at one and
one-third fare and that a very strong
minority favored granting the S. of V.
and the Odd Fellows the single fare
round trip asked for.

BRYAN PLANS NOTIFICATION
Will Go to New York and Meet the
Democrats on August IL.

Lincoln, Neb., July 31.-Upon receipt
of the intelligence from New York that
the hall at Madison Square garden could
be secured for that date, Mr.. Bryan an
nounced that he would receive the noti-
fication committee Of the democratic ma
tional convention there August IL. 1t is
known that Mr.. Bryan is nov preparing
his speech of acceptance of the nom
lnation. He expects to lay, in his New
York speech the ground work for the
campaign, n 1T Is believed that up to
the date of its delivery no man will learn
from his lips just what he may be ex-
pected to do In relation to the populist
nomination. Possibly he may not even
then declare himself, but it is believed
hat he will then give some intimation
of his plans in relation to the populist
nomination.
There is an apparent lull In the tide
of visitors. There has also been some
thing of a decrease in the magnitude of
Mr.. Bryan's correspondence. Ever since
his return from Chicago the greater por-
ton Of each day has been spent at his
desk, debating responses to letters and
kilograms. A corps of five clerks and
stenographers has aided him, n 1t was
only today that they began to see their
way clear to the bottom of the great
mass of mail before them.

Good Luck Attended n Negro who WAS
Fishing for Another Man.

Among the crowd of spectators
watching o knot of fishermen on the
Troy line pier tho other morning was
IN elderly Afro-Americau, who wore an
antiquated plug hat, a long linen buster
and n pensive look. He was waiting
for the boat for Haverstraw, and from
his occasional comments on the i'll luck
of the fishermen IL was evident that he
knew a thing or two about %entrapping
the tinny tribe, although il Subsequent
ly was developed that he wasn't an
adept at unlocking his catch.
Not even a nibble had agitated the
lines for half an hour, and the man and
brother occasionally vented his disap-
proval of the piscatorial procedures
with n vigorous "Humph." Finally one
Of the anglers wandered across West
street to pilot a schooner across a bar to
a capacious haven, relinquishing his
line to the Disguised gentleman Of color.
Instantly a smile overcrept his feat
ures. He quickly set down his bag and
umbrella, pulled his plug hat over his
ears, and slowly drew n Of the lines
out of the water. Then he stripped the
hook, took a fresh worm from the bait
can, slapped it three times between his
hands, slipped it on the hook, spat on 1t

"Cudgy, cudgy, cudgy."
sitting neal by.
That's medicine" answered the son
of Ham, adding contemptuously: "You
just wait"
The crowd waited expectantly. The
medicine was good, for in less than five
minutes the colored man yanked a big
blue eel to the surface and flung him
with a flop on the pier behind him.
"What did / tell youp' whooped the
black man excitedly. Seems to m
you people don't know nothin' bot
catchin' cells"
"You amt got him yet. He's getting
away" yelled the crowd.
The eel, which seemed all muscle and
resolution, was not accepting capture
passively. He twisted and wriggled
about like a snake, and was rapidly
nearing the edge of the pier, when the
darby jumped up and clutchcd him.
1t was a good attempt us the Polo
grounds cranks say. but resulted in a
clean muff, and the crowd promptly
gave the player an error while it app
plauded the eel for o possible home run
or slide. Then tho Afro-American
buckkd in for an uphill game. With
q mighty bound he leaped into the air
and swooped down upon the writhing
form of Mr.. Anguilla Vulgaris, with
determination shooting from his eye
and perspiration dripping from his
forehead.
For a minute or two eel stock took a
tumble, but went up again, when the
vicinity became filled with eel, Afro
American, fish line, pole, plug hat,
duster and bait box in a hopelessly con
fused mass that resembled nothing
quite so much as an animated Thomp-
son street LAGOON for one.
The colored mans eyes bulged until
they seemed likely to fall out as he saw
the eel slowly but surely slipping from
his grasp. A dockman came to his res
cue and cut off the cells heal with a
knife. This ended the struggle, and as
the colored man walked over to his boat
his pensive look returned and he sagely
remarked:
"It's easy enough to catch cells, but !,
takes more'n medicine to hang on to
'em."-N. Y. World.
