A CITY TO MOVE.
The Inhabitants of Ouro-Preto Grow Tired
of Kits Discomforts.

| The Inhabitants of Ouro-Preto Grow Tired
of Its Discomforts.
The greatest exodus that the world
has ever seen since the children of Israel
departed out of the land of Egypt
nearly 3, 500 years ago, will soon take
place in Brazil.
All the inhabitants of city Of over
90, 600 population, the capital Of one of
the largest and richest states of that
country, will in short time abandon
their homes en- masse. What makes this
wholesale exodus more remarkable is
the fact that these 20, 600 people will
move in body into a new city, which
for two years has been in process of
erection for their occupancy, and which
is as yet untenanted save by the arti-
sans and Iaborers who are putting the
finishing touches to the miles of streets
and the spacious public buildings and
private palaces.
The city which is on the point of
being thus abandoned to the wild beasts
which swarm in the forests about it is
Ouro-Preto, the capital of the mining
state of nasGeraes, in the southeast
ern part of Brazil. 1t was founded near
ly two centuries ago by the gold seekers.
Ouro-Preto has been unique among
| cities for several reasons one being that
it has but a single street, and that sew
eral miles in length. The town is built
along a narrow gorge in the mountains,
known as the Sierra de Minas- Geraes, q
part of the mighty chain which rises far
back from the coast of eastern Brazil.
Though it lies some 5, 900 feet above
the sea level, the air is always so damp
that everything not kept in alright
cases becomes widowed within q short
time. There is no such thing as q car
riage Of any description in this noun
tain city, and even riding mule back is
dangerous, for the single street, which
twists and winds for miles, is probably
the toughest in the world, there being
but few level stretches of more than a
dozen yards in all its length. A portion
of it lies along deep chasm, at the bot
tom of which roars one of the mountain
torrents which help to make the great
Rio de Francisco.
Another remarkable thing about this
town is that fully half of the inhabitants
have lived Of late years in the exhausted
galleries which the miners have hewn
out of the rock along the mountain side
in their search for gold. The other
dwellings are perched at varying heights
up and down the sides of the steep
spurs which jut into and sometimes al
most cross the marrow pass.
The new city which the people Of
Ouro-Preto are having built for them
will be the direct antithesis of the old.

was made public by New York pa

IN FAVOR OF WOMEN.
Methodist Conference Adopts Committee
Report.

Cleveland, O., May S.-The Methodist
general conference Thursday by vote
Of 425 to 9S adopted the report of the
committee on eligibility and referred
the woman question back to the
churches to be voted on again. The
women lay delegates, meanwhile. re-
tain their seats in the conference. The
committee is agreed that the eligibility
of women to vote in this convention is
a constitutional one, and that the gem
eral conference has the power to in
terpret the constitution. The commit
tee recommends the modification of the
constitution, changing the qualifica-
tions of delegate to the general con-
ference by using the words "lay dele
gate'' instead of "layman," thereby
making the admission of women legal.
