WOMEN PARTIALLY WIN,
Take Their Seats in the M. E..
Conference Under Certain
Conditions.
Compromise Report of the Committee
on Eligibility Is Unanimously
Adopted.

CLEVELAND. OHIO, May S.-Bishop
Foss presided at to-day's session OF the
Methodist General Conference. DR.. A. j.
Kynett presented the report of the COM
mittee on eligibility, which provided for a
compromise of the woman question. The
proposition was in substance to allow the
women delegates to keep their seats, on
the understanding that it should not es-
tablish precedent, and then to re-submit
to the annual conference during the next
four years the same constitutional amend
ment or one similar to that, which lately
barely failed of adoption By the three
quarters vote.
The report further provides that the
action of this general conference should
without any prejudice to the rights of any
omen delegates to any future general
conference under the constitution, as such
eneral conference may oonstrue or in.
te rpret it.
Rev. Mr.. Warren of New England pre-
sented a substitute for the report of the
com mittee on eligibility. Itprovided that
women duly qualified may be chosen as
lay del egates by an electoral conference,
the ma lie members of which, without de.
b ate, by majority report, declare that
women are eligible, provided that in no
case mo re than half of the delegation OF
reserve delegation shall be women. The
substitute further eclared that the con-
ference deemed it "unwise under the cir
cumstances to interfere in any way with
the status of the women who have been
elected in good faith by their constitu-
ents.'
The full report was adopted by an
almost unanimous vote. The announce.
ment of the vote was greeted with pro-
longed applause.

READY TO Be VOTED ON.
Santa Monica Appropriation Will
Be Reported in the Senate
To-Day.
California Statesmen Will Do Their
Best to Defeat Huntington's
Forces.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May THE
Santa Monica appropriation will be re-
ported in the Senate tomorrow. W. G.
Patterson, president of the Chamber OF
Commerce of Los Angeles, referring to the
bitter fgtA in the Senate said to-day:
&c. P. Huntington has succeeded in pro-
curing from the Committee on Rivers and
Harbors in the House and the Committee
on Commerce in the Senate recommends
tions for an appropriation for a harbor at
Santa Monica, although the people in the
vicinity, the Congressman from that dis
trict, both Senators from California, and
eight OF the most distinguished United
States engineers have recommended and
preferred San Pedro. This is remark
able instance of the power of one wealthy
and inscriptions man over the American
Congress.
THE people of California and of the
whole country should carefully scan each
vote when the measure is put upon its
passage. For the sake of the good name
OF our people, it is sincerely hoped that q
smaller number will be found TO wear
Huntington's yoke than he is disposed to
claim. There has in the history OF this
country been no such outrageous effort than
this to subvert the will Of the people. to
override justice and to plunder the United
States treasury for the benefit of private
corporation. The people OF the Pacific
Slope, irrespective of party, are thoroughly
aroused over this attempt to destroy their
commercial interests. and to hand them
over, bound hand and foot, to the tender
mercies of a grasping monopoly. The in
dignation is acute and widespread. Our
people feel that they are about to be
greatly wronged, and there is no uncertain
sound about the earnestness and meaning
OF their protest.
The adoption of the resolution by the
California Republican State Convention
condemning the Pacific railroad funding
bill is gratifying to the California Congress
sional delegation, except. perhaps, John
son. They regard this action OF the State
Convention as a suitable answer to the
statement of Mr.. Huntington that the
delegation in Congress did not represent
the public sentiment of their State when
they opposed the plan of the Pacific rail-
road people. Senator Perkins of California
said that he thought the declaration of the
Republican State Convention against the
funding bill was a fair impression of the
sentiment of the people of California on
that subject.

Fidelity Mutual Life Association of Phila-

nection with Pietzel's death, the latter be-

OF the murder of Pletzel and he came to
Philadelphia without requisition papers.
He expressed willingness to be tried here
on the conspiracy charge in preference to
that of horse-stealing at Fort Worth. Be-
fore leaving Boston Holmes made this

out our scheme to defraud the insurance

We all met again in Detroit. Pietzel took
the children and went to South America.

that she would insist that the crooked
business be wound up right away. In

OKLAHOMA CITY, 0. T., May THE
Oklahoma courts have struck puzzler in
the Indian custom relating to plural mar
riages. The law of Oklahoma is very severe
on polygamists, and Indians on reserva-
tons are not exempt from its operation.
The kickapoos have an average of five
squaws each. The Cheyennes and Arapa-
hoes are nearly all polygamists. as are the
Kiowas and Apaches, Comanches and
Wichitas.
1t is stated that the courts have decided
to take action in the matter at once unless
polygamous practices cease. Captain
Woodson OF Anadarnaka agency has issued
orders commanding Indians of his agency
having several wives to at once decide on
the wife wanted and give up the Others.
and no little uneasiness has resulted in ali
the polygamous tribes, as it is claimed by
the lndlans that one squaw cannot raise
corn TO support an ex-warrior in becoming

"They boast, however, that they are

they do they are very careful to remain

MANHOOD!

NIlOW IlOW ~ AppI e.
ciate 1t Until You Have
Lost 1t. How 1t Can be
Regained.
There are three stages of
lost manhood: First, the alb
sence of manly power. Sec
ond, loss of ambition, energy,
business and social ability.
Third, loss of memory, dull
ness of vision, dullness of
intellect, and in the end but
one resu1t-nervous debility.
Lack of manhood is the
lack of the one thing that
makes life worth living. The
possessor of a vigorous man
hood does not appreciate. its
worth. When he loses it by
excesses or indiscretions he
then begins to realize what
a grand element it is; how
much his happiness-yes,
his very existence-depends
upon it.
When a man is broken
down in his vital powers as
a rule he is not the only one
who suffers. Others, family,
friends; those who enjoy his
company and protection, no.
tice the depression in his
spirits, the lack of ambition,
dogged disposition, nagging,
irritable temperament. It
makes all who come in con-
tact with him unhappy.
Let the reader understand
that all this misery comes
from the loss Of nerve force
that element which is the
well spring of all joy, of all
mental and physical pleas
ure. It is the loss of this
nerve force that leaves the
mind and body weak, and
causes the sufferer to feel
that the best of his life has
been spent.
To replace the force and
strength of the nerves we
must use Electricity-not
drugs-as Electricity forms
the basis of all animal life.
It is the nerve force, the life
of the nerves, and the life of
all nervous and vital organs
increases when Electricity is
applied in mild, soothing
currents, as it is from DR..
