The statement was presented by June
f. Bashford, Loies S. Parker and Ada
O. Butcher.
The Rev. DR.. d. s. Monroe Of Altoona,
Pa, was reelected secretary OF the
General Conference.
Cleveland, o., May 5.--Tho fourth
DAYS session Of the Methodist General
Conference saw that great religious
body still unorganized for the trans
action of business. The debate on the
eligibility OF the women delegates
occupied the entire day, and 80 far as
the speakers are concerned there is no
evidence of desire to bring the dis
cussion to close.
Some of the laymen are anxious to
terminate the contest. and it is proba-
BILE that motion will be offered to-
morrow morning closing the debate at
IL O'Clock.
Daniel Stevenson, president OF Union
College, Kentucky, spoke for the ad-
mission of the women.
The Rev. Dir Nicely OF Philadelphia,
who is leading tine fight against the
women, next spoke.
John f. Copies OF Portland, Ore, 4,
urged that the women be admitted.
He was applauded and Bishop Andrews
yainly tried to stop the applause.
The conference adjourned until 8. 80
a. m. o-morrow, when the debate on
the woman question will be resumed.
The lay delegates met at o'clock
and heard reports from their COM
mittee of 10 appointed to consider the
question Of extending the term OF pas
torate. One report, signed by Gen.
Rushing of New Jersey, recommended
that in exceptional cases ministers
might be continued in their pastorates
indefinitely. A second opposed any
change in the rule regarding the time
limit, stating as reason that very
often ministers remain too long in
churches. An amendment was offered by
q delegate providing for an extension
Of time by three. fourths' vote OF all
adult members of. the church at quar-
| terly conference and the Recommended
| tion OF majority of the presiding
| elders Of the districts Both reports
and the amendment were tabled. A
resolution recommending that the
| Period of probation he changed from
six months to three months was also
| tabled.
| A Delaware man asked for the
adoption of resolution requesting the
conference to shut Off DEBATE on the
woman question at noon Wednesday,
giving as his reason that the ministers
were using the debate merely as an
! opportunity to show their oratorical
ability. The meeting considered that
| this would be discourteous and re-
fused to consider the resolution.

There is no place in the
world where as much care is
taken of the building of
floors as in those cities
where the taste of the peO-
pie has been educated up to
rugs. There is a bit of clean
Illness and richness about a
polished floor with a rug
thrown over it that is lost in
a room covered with mating.
The days for expensive
rugs is past and now anyone
can own one, the price de-
pending entirely upon the
size. The cost of manufaC-
ture has been so reduced and
the competition SO spirited
that a rug may be had for a
song. Our stock comprises
all the latest designs in
English and Japanese manu-
faCture their like at the
price has never been seen
here. We've carpets and
borders too.
In our dry goods depart
ment you will find Door
Slips, De Long Hooks and
Eyes in white, black and
gold-small things, you say,
but nevertheless useful.
Collars and Cuffs, feather
stitch Braid, both white
and colored and an endless
variety of Ceylon Shifting
Flannels. These goods are
all cheap.
