WOMEN IN TIE CONFERENCE.
A Question That l. Causing Much Con
crrn 20 the Methodist Church.

csrn to the Methodist Church.
NEW YoRK, April l5.-The last three
annual conferences Of the Methodist
church which win be held previous to
the meeting Of the general conference
ON May /. win begin this week in wide
ly separated districts Of the country
The first Is the Troy, n. Y, conference,
the second Is the East Maine conference,
the third Is the North Dakota confer
ence. With the completion Of the work
Of these bodies II will be determined
whether the general conference will
have TO do with the question Of woman
suffrage as applied TO the admission of
women as delegates to that central and
quadrennial assembly.
From the adviccs received by the
Methodist Book concern from all parts
Of the country IL would seem that the
women have won a preliminary victory
In the annual conferences and that all
that is needed TO secure them the fruits
Of their long struggle win be equal sue
cess In the general conference. The
constitution requires that the vote On
subjects similar TO the change in repre-
sentation in the annual conferences shall
b. decided by a throe-fourth majority.
The Methodist Book concern has PRIV
pared a table showing the result Of the
voting In the spring annual conferences
ON the three subjects, which win have
to be decided next month.
Judging from the showing made in
this table, the conferences in favor Of
the admission Of women need only q
few more votes 10 give them the re
quircd threo-fourths majority.
Those favoring the admission Of wo
men delegates believe they are almosi
certain TO get this vote and No win brinG
the matter directly before the genera
conference. In that assembly. II is be
lieyed in the Methodist Book concern
they are almost certain to win. because
with few exceptions. the lay member
are In favor OF the proposition 10 admi
women.
As though 20 bring the matter 60 N
issue, three conferences have alread!
chosen women delegates and viii dc

gates is Mn. Jane W. BaShford. wife o

and Mrs. T. w Parker aud Mrs. Y
Butcher, are frum India, where thei
husbands are missionaries. Their hu'

don shortly after her marriage, eyinced
her interest in the new era of elemen-
tary education by canvassing for the
progressive candidates at the first cleo
ton in 1871. She was also a manager
in the early years Of the board, and for
a good time took practical interest in
the administration of college for
working women. These things stood
her in good stead when Mrs. Maitland
first sought election to the board at the
election of 1882. She lost her seat in
1891. But such was the impression she
had made by her work and personality
that every old member of the board
missed Mrs Maitland during the fol-
lowing three years, and Chelsea in 1894
gladly repaired the error of Marylebone
by electing her at the head of the poll.
Mrs. Romans candidature for the
Tower Hamlets in 1891 was practically
her first introduction to public work.
She was, moreover, seeking to succeed

votes than any other woman candidate
had previously done. 1t was character.
istic of the earnestness with which she
entered upon her work that in 1891,
and again in 1894, Mrs. Homan left her
home at Kensington at the beginning
OF the contest and took lodgings in the
midst of the great east end constitu-l
ency to which she was appealing.
For the work of the board Mrs. Ho-
man had taken exceptional pains to
qualify herself. Having had her inter
est in its work keenly excited whilst.
presiding over. a girl teachers club In
the east end, Mrs. Holman took the first
step toward membership by becoming
a school manager in Chelsea. Her ex-
perience in this position told her what
she ought to learn in order to make
herself a useful member of the board.
She went through the South Kensing-
ton school of cookery, including even
the scullery department, as she believes
that too much care cannot be taken in
the proper cleaning of pots and pans.

In the St. Petersburg citadel and H.
100000 more were added in less than a
