.bers wanted to leave on the afternoon
trains, and for that reason the morning
session especially was busy one.
The conference. after a sharp debate,
adopted a resolution offered by Mr.. Colvin,
of Fowler to the effect that the condition
OF political unrest like sheet lightning, is
a threat of a storm, and that as oeha-
gogues are frantically endeavor1ng TO ar
ray labor against capital, mob law is IN
cited and it is proposed to overthrow or
ganic law, hence the prayerful attention
of the people is demanded The venerable
Dr. Smith. of Valparaiso. the patriarch OF
the conference. opposed it on the ground
that it would publish to the world the
members of the conference alarmists
A motion to lay the resolution on the table
was defeated by a vote of 80 to "a, and later
it was adopted Mr.. Colvin said it was in
the line of Bishop Newmans advice.
Dr. Hickman offered a resolution of SYM
pathy with the Armenans and one with
the Cubans, the latter expressing a hope
that Cuba would become a star in the gall
axy OF the Republic which expression was
warmly applauded.
The committee on examination of appli-
cants for trial as ministers reported in ia
of seven young men. There were fif-
teen applicants The conference accepted
Crowder of the Avon circuit, in the Craw-
louisville district, who has done remark
ably good work as a supply preacher; Paul
Gilbert. Jeffersonvile, who graduated from
DePauw University this spring; Albert L.
Miller, of the South Bend district, who
came to Burnettsvile from an Ohio con-
ference a year ago. and whose work was
highly recommended by Presiding Elder
Ogden; Abraham Pinkham, also of the
South Bend district; w. F. Hovis. of the
Valparaiso district, graduate of Allie
gheny College and now a student at
Evanston d. D. Hoagland of Kansas, now
attending college at Evanston, and A
Detch, of the South Bend district grad
uate of DePauw this year.
Presiding Elder Wood, Of the Greencas-
tie district, moved that the Northwest Con-
ference be assessed $1,000 for the aid of
DePauw University. which amount. he
said would be about cents for each
member. Presiding Elder ogden, of the
South Bend district, opposed the PROPOSE
ton on the ground that he believed more
money could be raised for the institution
by appeals to individual members in the
conference. Dr. Hickman, of this city,
stoutly insisted that it is absolute ne
cessity to raise the money. Every year
there is a gap in the. finances of the insti-
tuition. Last year the members of the
board of trustees had to stand good for it.
The Methodist ministers had been too
proud to ask for contributions, but it
must be done. The motion was carried by
a large majority.
President John said, in regard to a state
ment to the delinquences of those who
had received an education at the expense
of the board of education of the church,
that DePauw had collected considerable
money from its graduates who had gone
into the ministry or are doing missionary
work. He was glad to say. that DePauw
stood at the head of the list in that re-
SDect, according to the report of Dr.
Payne, of the board of education. Many
of those who received this aid went from
the educational institutions into fields
where they received but Scant remunera-
ton and it was slow pay from them. He
year was very bright. There would be an
increase in number of new students
