- Iznouine Eotel Clsrl.

A good hotel clerk must know every
thing. He must be able to read the inner
most thoughts Of every guest that comes
to his house. He must be ready to answer
every question that is asked whether con-
corning railroad trains, predestinarianism,
politics, law, science, geography sstron-
Omy or theology.
Houston has one of the brightest hotel
clerks in the world. He is always affable,
ready with any kind Of information what
ever and never has to be asked twice fo1
anything
Two druInmers were sitting in the lobby
of this hotel a few nights ago and one Of
them was telling the other about the
clerk readiness and said:
I'm bet you the drinks that if you open
that newspaper that you have in your
hand, select the first phrase that meets
your eye and then walk over to the clerk
and say it over to him he viii respond in
some way without a moments hesitation. "
The drummer opened the paper By
chance at a political article, and the first
words he saw were, fThe greatest good to
the greatest number" He walked over to
the clerks desk, leaned his elbow on ID
and said seriously, THE greatest good to
the greatest number. -

bell and said to the bellboy;

GERMANS MAD ABOUT IT.
Win Leave the Methodist Church if
Women Sit as DELEGATES.

Cleveland, O-,April 3O.-The fight over
the admission of women to the general
conference of the NJ. E. church is in
creasing with the arrival Of every del
egate.
The German delegates, it is said, are
leading the opposition. Some of them
have said that if the four women who
have been elected delegates to the con-
ference are admitted all the German lay
members of the church viii secede.
The Germans have issued a strong
protest against the admission of the
women, and some of the prominent
ministers recognize the fact that the
opposition threatens the unity of the
church.
w A Head of Grand Forks, n. d,
a members of the conference entertain
ment committee. says
THE great difficulty in the settle
ment of the woman question lies in the
opposition of the Germans. They will
be well represented in the conference
and their opposition practically
amounts to secession. The split might
be stayed if the question were again
referred to the annual conferences"
Bishop Fitzgerald of New Orleans,
when asked his views on the admission
Of women as delegates. said:
IT hold that under the laws of the
church women are already eligible to
the general conference, but I don't
know what the conference VIII do with
the question
Rev. J. W. E. Brown OF Atlanta, Ca,
said:
Personally favor the admission of
the women, but I fear the opposition of
the Germans win make that impOssi-
ble'
Bishop Fowler of Minneapolis. said:
THE Germans are very determined
in what they undertake and their oppO-
sition in this matter is very strong.
For that reason I think the women will
be denied admission"
Rev. DR. William Burt of Rome, italy,
said, in talking Of the subject
i favor the admission of women to
the general conference, but I think the
matter should be decided by the an
nual conferences"
Rev. C. w. Cue of Portland. Ore,
said he did not think the women want
ed to be admitted, and he did not think
they would be, on account of the oppo-
sitiOn of the Germans
This woman question" he said, ''is
being agitated by a lot Of women who
want to wear boomers. and not by the
sensible and intellectual women of the

BILL WEST MYSTERY.
Theories and Theories About His Es-
caps But He Is Gone.


The escape of Bill West from the
county jail still continues to be the
topic of conversation upon the streets
and about the Jail and court house
People are stfll divided in opinion as
to the manner of escape, and discus
sions on this subject are heated.
A new clue is the discovery of the
fact that three hack saws. the kind
used in saving iron and steel, were
purchased Monday from Kitchen &
Marburg by boy not known to them.
This was the day before the escape.
If some one sawed in from the outside
he may have used the boy to buy the
saws for him
Another clue to the time Of the es-
cape is the statement of Mrs. r. B.
Kepley, who says she heard someone
walking north on the walk west of the
house the moment after Sheriff KEEP
ley started to go inside the jail. If
this was West his escape was not made
until 4:3O or 4.45 Tuesday morning in
stead of at 2. as George Woodruff
claims.
If the jail people wished to find out
what way West got away they might
compare the soap found on the bars
with that used in the jail. and also
find at what time William Bradbury
missed his mare Tuesday morning. If
West escaped at 4:45 he could scarcely
have reached Bradbury's farm, three
miles away before the family was astir.
There are a dozen clues of this kind
which would help to solve the question
if a solution were desired.
+o11 n Is
story, if untrue, is at once apparent.
He wishes to shield his companions
who are out from being arrested for
aiding Vests escape, leaving them free
to attempt his own rescue. Defoe Ed
wards, one Of the same gang, says they
swore that if some of them got out they
would come back and hberate their
crowd.
Charles Rote, the overcoat thief who
is supposed to have taken tools from
outsiders while he was corridor man,
now lies in a cell by himself with
shaclles upon him. Rote worked into
Sheriff Kepley's confidence by showing
him an Elk pin and giving him the Elk
grip, and he was made corridor man.
The sheriff's force insists that persons
outside sawed their way in and let
West out. Still Charles Rote has been
shackled for receiving tools which
could have played no part in the es-
cape if worked from the outside
The way the matter stands now is the
story of George Woodruff against al
most all the rest of the prisoners, who
say that men sawed in to the prisoners.
But the question most interesting
now that the man is out by some hook
or crook. is about his capture RumOrs
are flying about all day long of his hav-
ing been seen here or there. and the
sheriff's force is kept busy proving
them false. Meanwhile no definite clue
has been secured.

NOW COMES DISEASE.
Typhus and Smallpox Carrying OF
What Armenians Are Left.

New York, April 3O-Dr. A. Monroe
Loeser, executive surgeon Of the Red
Cross hospital in this city, has a letter
from Miss Clara Barton, dated Con
stantinOple, April T. in which she says
that contagious diseases have spread
very much at ZeitoUn and at Aarash
in the interior Of Anatolia.
The first news of the trouble Miss
Barton says, came from the assemblage
Of foreign councils at ZeitOun, to Sir
Philip Currie, and a request for me to
try and reach there with help.
The patients are in need of every
thing, and as the mountainous roads
We're impossible, being covered with
snow, eight physicians from the medi-
cal college in Beyrout, Syria, under the
direction Of the distinguished American
physician, DR.. @. T. Harris. volunteered
to go and attend to the patients.
Miss Barton writes that DR.. Hubbard,
in charge of the expedition at Marash,
telegraphed that more doctors were
needed and that a great deal of med
icine and concentrated foods were al
so needed.
The disease prevalent is typhoid and
