Hans Lund, city comptroller, is probably
the most versatile in his attainments of
all the city officials. He is a stone mason,
an architect, u steel and iron worker, a
mathematician and an accountant.
And now he essays the literary critic.
He is at work during odd moments upon
a book by F. C. Moore. president of the
Continental Insurance Company, of New
York, entitled, How to Build a Home"
In this Mr.. Moore endeavors to treat the
subject of housemaking in comphehen-
sive manner, with all technical terms elm
mated. He has sent advance sheets of the
work over the country to his various
agents, among others, 10 T. f. Griffith, of
Kansas City, with requests TO make cor
rections and suggestions. Not knowing of
any more competent authority than Mr..
Lund, Mr.. Griffith turned the sheets over
to him. and now the city comptroller is
engaged in making proofreaders' pothooks
and marginal remarks.

The NIetllodists.

CLEVELAND, O., May 20.-Bishop
Foster presided at the session OF tne
General Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church this morning. The
feature of the session was the discussion
of the amusement question. Nearly
half an hour was consumed in changing
the method of nominating candidates.

ballot as agent of the western book
concern, with headquarters at Gin
cinnati.
A resolution was adopted reciting the
sale of liquors in the national Capitol
as national disgrace and asking that
Congress abolish the practice. The
committee on the state of the church
drew the conference into an exciting
discussion by recommending that that
part of the discipline relating to specific
amusements be not changed. Under
the present law persons indulglng IN
Intoxicating liquors as beverage, rent
ing property to or becoming bondsmen
for liquor dealers, dancing, playing at
games of chance, attending theatres,
hcrse-races, circuses, and indulging in
many other popular amusements, shall
be expelled from the church unless the
offender exhibit real humiliation.
Debate followed, some of those pres
ent taking the ground that these things
should be left to the conscience or Judg-
ment of the church members them
selves. Others, however, urged the
conference to let the Introduction stand
as it is.
By an almost unanimous vote the
conference refused to change the dis
cipline on the subject of amusements.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 20. 1896

NORTHERN SPEAKERS and writers,
in their own country, and even in the
halls of Congress, often take great ap'
parent delight in ridiculing the gross
ignorance of current affairs alleged, by
themselves, to prevail in the South
There is no doubt about the fact that
free schools and cheap newspapers
have not dissipated any sort of ignor-
ance, in any part of the country, North
or South. That they haven't, in re-
spect of current affairs, is proved by
tho existing silver craze that prevails
so extensively not only in the South,
but in the Western and Northern
States also, and was demonstrated IN
the L. S. Senate on Monday, when MIR.
Gallinger, whose colleague is the no.
torious Mr.. w. f. Chandler, presented
a numerously signed petition from a
labor union in his own State, addressed
to Senators Chandler and Smith, OF
New Hampshire. There are no
white men in the South, with sense
enough to write petition to Congress,
who do not know the names OF the
Senators from their own States.
