THE WOMEN DELEGATES.
Methodists VIII Now Vote on Proposed
Constitutional Change.

methOdistS VIII Now vote on "a proposed
Constitutional Change.
CLEVELAND, May 8 by vote Of 425 to
9S the Methodist general conference de.
cided yesterday tha5 the tour women dele
gates might retain their seats. This does
not mean that the women have won a
complete victory. The decision was reached
simply as the result Of a compromise, and
with the understanding that it should not
prejudice the claims of women in the fu-
ture or establish a precedent for future
conferences to follow. But by the same
vote by which the women were given seats
the conference also decided to submit to
the annual conferences "A proposed amend
ment to the constitution providing that
hereafter all general conference delegates
shall be over % years Of age, and that they
shall have been members of the Methodist
church for at least five years prior to their
election. 1t also provides that no confer
ence shall be debarred from at least one
ministerial and one lay delegate This
constitutional amendment is to be sub
mtted to the annual conferences and must
receive "a thrce-fourUhs vote to be adopted.
The amendment is construed to mean tt 1t
women, as well as men, will be eligible as
lay delegates, the word 'layman" not be-
ing used.
The members of the committee on eligi-
bility who signed the compromise report
were evidently of the opinion that the
question could be settled by the general
conference, "a it was one which involved
the proper Interpretation of the constitu
tion. However, it was doomed better to
let the annual conferences decide the mat
ter, hence the proposed change in the con-
StiTufiDD was guhtuittp0
The delegates were evidently pleased
when the question was finally disposed Of
Rev. DIR, j. NJ. Buckley, editor of the New
York Christian Advocate, speaking Of the
contest in the committee on eligibility
said that the situation in tho conference
was critical "At the clio ,e Of seven hours
debate" he declared twenty of the
thirty-one members of our committee were
as firmly convinced tha5 women We're
eligible and eleven of us that they were
ineligible, as we were before we began.
We were all determined men, but you
might have seen love feast in prayers at
any time during the session. We were all
honest men. There was only one coward
among us, and we had only his word for
his cowardice. All but four of our minor
ity party signed the compromise report,
We each yielded something"

DYSPEPSIA.
To Cure Nervous Dyspepsia to Gain FeSl to Sleep Well
to Know What Appetite and Good Digestion Mean,
Make Test of Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets.
INTERESTING EXPERIENCE OF AN INDIANAPOLIS GENTLEMAN.

No trouble is more common or more mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia. People
having it think that their nerves are to blame
and are surprised that they are not cured by
nerve medicines and spring remedies; the
real seat of the mischief is lost sight of the
stomach it the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any
pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps
any of the usual symptoms of stomach weak
ness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in
the stomach so much as in nearly every other
organ; in some cases the heart palpitates and
is irregular; in others the kidneys are
affected; in Others the bowels are constipated,
with headaches; still others are troubled
with loss of flesh and appetite, with accumu-
lations of gas, sour risings and heartburn.
Mr., A. w. Sharper of No. 81 Prospect ST.,
indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows; "A
motive of pure gratitude prompts me to
write these few lines regarding the new and
valuable medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab

BANK ROBBERS FOlLED.
the Burglar Alarm Summoned Posse of
Armed Citizens.

Armed Citizens.
LAooN, Ills, May S.--The little town of
Washburn, Woodford county, was the
scene Of raid by bank robbers on We'd
nesday night, and as a result one of the
desperadoes is lying in the county Jail at
Metamora, severely shot in the neck and
back. The private banking house of Ire
land & Son was entered by the back win
dow, but the moment they got inside the
building the burglar alarm started gong
ringing in the house of Charles Ireland,
the junior member of the firm, and he
armed himself Immediately and started
out to raise posse He gathered dozen
men and surrounded the bank, arriving
there in time to hear an explosion the
robbers made on the vault door
The explosion blew out the tumbler to
the lock only, and while the men were
making ready for another blast the posse
made noise and three men dashed out
the back door, to be met by a volley of shot
and bullets. They held the first crowd at
bay with a volley from their revolvers, but
as they turned the corner of the bank an.
other squad fired into them, and one rob-
Der fell with nineteen large shot in his
back and neck. The other two men got
away, although the trail of blood showed
that one of them was wounded The cap
tured robber says his name is Bill Wilson.
Further than that he will not speak.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS.

The American sunday school, as it is to be
found in all the Protestant churches Of this
country, and in thousands of little school
houses and preaching stations, is an import
ant factor, says an exchange in the social as
well as the relig gious life of the nation. Over
ole-sixth of the whole population, aud in
some states over one-fourth, are enrolled in
the Sunday schools.
Each denomination is doing something for
its own Sunday school workers; and the
Sunday schools themselves have established a
remarkably efficient system of organization,
embracing all the denominations. Once
every three years they hold a convention,
covering the United States and Canada, and
composed of delegates from each Of the sixty
states, territories and Provinces that are now
organized for work
Some Of these organizations have am auxili

one to six secretaries and field workers On

IL the opening part of his sermon at the

made many wonderful discoveries in our age.
We have climbed the sky and plucked thence
the lightning. We have penetrated the earth
and laid bare many secret. But what
discovery have we made about death? A
thousand years ago a great Druid King
held a solemn council as to whether his nation
should accept or reject Christianity. While
they were debating the subject a bird few
in at one of the great windows, flashed
across the hail amid the glare of torches, and
then flew out Of the opposite window and
disappeared in the darkness from whence it
came. The king said sadly Our life is just
ike that; the futter of wings across a
lighted hall, momentary flight between two
cternities; out of the darkness we came,
back into the darkness we disappear. Who
can explain whence we are, whittier we
