HAROLD FREDERIC.

water That follows, as q matter OF
course, He has just written novel, 1.-The
ELIMINATION { Theron Ware which Mr..
. Gladstone has pronounced to be tho bost
of tho century. This is indeed high praise,
for the Grand Old Man keeps up to date
IN all matters, and his Judgment Of fiction
is acknowledged to be remarkably good
and sound.
Mr. Frederic Is man who has climbed
from tho lowest rung on the ladder OF
journalism to the top notch, where he hos
stepped off into the roof garden where pop
ular novelists dwell and enjoy oil the
pleasures Of fame and fortune He was
born in Now York state, and when ho was
IS became a proofreader in Utica news
paper office.
: From proofreading he stepped to report
ing, and three years later became edi-
tor of tho good old Utica Observer. In
1882 he was appointed editor of the
Albany Journal one Of the most influen-
tinl newspapers in the state, but by rashly
swinging that staid old Republican organ
out Of the party and making 1t free trade
paper he nntagonized lot of wealthy nenv
! who bought the paper and summary dis
missed him from tho sanctum. He lost
nothing, however, by this turn Of affairs,
55for the New York Times employed him rs
Albany correspondent and In 1884 sent
him to England. He has been the London
correspondent for that paper ever since
During his IL years In England Mr..
Frederic has been busy with his pen. Be-
sides his regular weekly letters he has
written several novels, among Thorn boing
"Seths Brothers Wife, ""In the Valley"
"The Lauton Girl" ''Tho Return of the
O'Mahony," "The Copperhead'' and
batch Of shorter tales. They have beon
strong, stirring stories Of American life,
with lots of human interest in them.
The way Mr.. Frederic writes novel Is
interesting. He pays but little attention
to tho plot in his preparatory work, but
he sometimes spends years getting 40
quainted with his characters before he
puts them on paper.

prcsidfng Officer at the Methodist Confer
ence Had an Unruly Crowd.
CLEVELAND, May 26.-There were
stormy scenes in the Methodist general
conference during the day. 1t was by
all odds the most tumultuous session
that has yet been held. There was
clash between the ministerial and lay
delegates, and for time in the after
noon, Bishop Hurst, who was in the
chair, lost all control Of the assemblage.
A dozen delegates were on their feet at
the same time, shouting for recogni-
ton, calling for rulings Of the chair on
points of order which had never been
heard, and, altogether, the scenes were
more exciting than are usually wit
messed in political conventions. The
contest came over the fourth section Of
the new constitution, as reported by the
committee. When the section was read
an amendment providing for
Equal Representation for the Laymen
in the general conference was proposed.
The discussion was participated in by
Rev. DIR. Alexander Ashley Of Washing
ton, Rev. DR.. J. B. Graw Of New Jer-
sey, Mr.. Henry French Of San Jose,
Cal. Rev. L. B. Wilson Of Baltimore,
and DR.. A. J. Kynett Of Philadelphia.
Many bitter things were said, and it
looked for time as though there could
be no reconciliation between the minis
tiers and laymen. Finally, however,
peace was restored by the Withdrawal
of the amendment, with the under
standing that the whole matter should
be brought up again in different form.
The election Of DR.. J. G.. Hartzell of
Louisiana as missionary bishop for
Africa, to succeed Bishop Taylor, who
was retired, was the incident of the
