METHODIST WOMEN LOSE.


The Requisite Thrct-foirths Majority Not
secured.
NEw York. April is.-Womcn as
lay delegates annot enter the coming
general conference of the Methodist
church through "A door opened wide
by Il constitutional amendment for on
the direct vote of the ministers Of the
church the women were beaten. The
Troy conference, in session at Glovers-
vie, ~. Y, settled the question by
voting down the Baltimore amend
ment, ll3 10 &c.
This does not absolutely decide the
woman question in its bearing on the
coming conference. but it does destroy
the chief reliance of the women
ms question, the most important and
the most far reaching in possibilities
the Methodist church has ever been
called on TO face, is now left in n state
OF more hopeless confusion than ever.
The women may yet win in the COM
ing conference. but they can do so
only 10y icsorting to some pariia-
mentary eNpcdient.
Up to yesterday, with three annual
conferences To hear from. the women
lacked ~forty-nine votes of having the
necessary t~hrce-fourths of ali the
votes cast on the Baltimore amend
nent. To make up that deficiency
and get enough additional votes to in
sure victory: they had to have 5j5
votes out of the 42j in the three re.
manning conferences. The Troy con-
ference having given the women ONLY
scventy-cight votes and having thrown
ilJ votes against them, their last hope
OF WlnnlnU nm Tim Itnlti .-l
mcnt is gone. Whatever action the
East Maine and the North Dakota
conferences may take, with only IL.
votes between them, il cannot affect
the result unless every vote should be
cast for the amendment.
These figures, giving tho total votes
on the baltimore amendment, speak
Tor themselves: Total votes cast, To-
l"O: total for Baltimore amendment,
',5ll; total against Baltimore amend
ment, ".GO?: required threc-fourths to
carry amendment, T,ioJ; margin in
excess of one-fourth against amend
ment, li4.
But the Hamilton amendment, which
has also been before the annual con-
fercnces for consideration. provides
that lay delegates must be men. 1t is
also defeated. by its defeat the IN.
ferential declaration of the church is
that eligibility 10 a lay de!egateship
shall not be confined to men. but shall
be understood as being extended to
women. Thus the women are debarrcd
from the general conference by tho
defeat of the Baltimore amendment
and admitted 10y the defeat of the
Hamilton amendment. The general
conference must wrestle with this
paradox.

Uniform to Prevent bnOckOnts.
CnicAao, April l;.-Eobcrt Frazier,
a local amateur boxer, has patented
for boxing matches "a vest of padded
material, and a mask for the jaw and
nose, sc constructed that even the
most heavily landed blows seem to
the wcarer like gentle tapping. Re.
sides the protection afforded TO the
wearer, there is an electrical
registering device to count
the number Ct blows struck. This
will result in making sparring n or.
test for points in which no referee is
needed to give the decision. Whc& u
vulnerable point is struck q spring is
compressed, an electrical contact is
made. u small bell makes "a single
stroke and the register counts one.
The batteries, wires, register and bell
are all fitted in the back of the suit
and are extremely light.
Last evening Frazier donncd his
suit for a go with !. j. Corbett. The
eA-cbainpion chased his little oppon-
ent about the stage, delivering blows
with both hands. until the register on
the back OF Frazier's sui, Indicated
'o' blows. frazicrs score was about
six.
After the trial the exclamation ex.
pressed himself as astonishcd and de-
lighted with the new invention, and
SAID that it would prove "a great b.ne.
lit to the art Of boxing. A person
with the new suit would be
practically secur against a knockout
even by Il Tar superior antagonist.

Pursued by a Demon.

How many suicides, think you, reader,
have been committed by persons driven dis
traught and hunted to their doom by the
demon of chronic i'll health? Countless. For
instance, we know, do we not, that hypo-
chondriasis ia monomania-a sort of minor
madness produced by chronic dyspepsia?
Again, insomnia, or sleeplessness, often a
result of the same cause, eliminates in a
arrangement of the reasoning faculties. It
is, therefore, of momentous consequence to
prevent the arrival of diseases at its chronic
phase, wheh il daily and nightly scourges
the sufferer to dangerously uncertain goal.
No medicine known to science, as a means
of arresting the maladies TO which it is ad
apted, exists equal to Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Among these complaints are chron-
10 indigestion and insomnia, kidney and
rheumatic ailments, constipation and liver
ters, the blood f,rtilized, and body sub
stance and vigor increased by it.

The Spirit Of Washington,

A little, yellow haired s-year-old girl,
whose innocence shone through her round,
baby face, had heard many stories of
Washington. She was great admirer of
the father of her country. One day q
teacher asked each member of Daisy's
class to write some story of Washington.
This is what Daisy wrote:
"Onoe upon time there was great
war with the Indians in our country. A
man wanted to send letter to another
city. Washington took the letter. The
Indians were very ugly to him. They got
behind trees and shot at him, but they
couldn't hit him. One Indian shot
through Washington's coat Another
made holes in his hat. When they couldn't t
kill him, they wondered what was the
matter. Then they said, He is spherit. ;
After that they liked him, and that is why
they liked him, cause such things are so
tuff you can't kill them Chicago
