the conference.
The church year ends March 1 and the
conference took important action prepara-
tory TO the beginning of the new year.
Also as the annual meeting of the Baltimore
conference meets early in March, a vote
was taken on what are known as the Bacon
resolutions.

made as follows:
Trustees Matthew G.. Emory, A. B.
DuvaH, Samuel Fowler, A. d. Lynch, George
Gray, Benjamin Graves, d. F. Leighton,

town, Md, Church.

tests against time in getting q com.

A FREE TRADE DEMONS rRAnoN.
English Free Traders will Attempt to Stem

LONDON, June 10 AS something OF
an offset to the tremendous revival of
protectionism in the United States aud
France, grand free-trade celebration
is being planned to take place before
the expiration OF the pre- sent year,
which marks the semi-centennial Of
the abolition of the corn laws IN this
country. Many of the tirmest OF the
adv Jcates of free trade, however, dis
counten8nce the idea, on account of q
strong protectionlst minority, which
would thereby be inelted to retaljtory
measures. 1t is remarkable fact IN
this connection that, so far from Eng
lands example having been followed
BY the principal nations OF the earth,
as predicted by Golden, Germany,
Italy and Russia and The English colo
MES, in addition to the countries above
specified, are still strong IN their ad-

LONDON, June 10 The persistency
of the rumor, hich was first circulated d
some weeks ago, connecting the names
of Mrs. Mayb and prominent
prison Official with the appearance OF
a young child within the precincts OF
the prison walls, IS somewhat remarka
BILE, especially In view Of the explicit

said that the story was originated by a
discharged PRISON official, who thus
sought revenge upon his superior.
