and church customs already in exist
ence. There was a minority report
providing for a referendum of and
final vote upon preferred constitu-
tional amendments to the lay dele
gates as we'll as to the annual confer
ences. A motion was made to amend
one of the sections by having the lay
electoral conferences composed of lay
men by laymen at large instead of by
members of the quarterly conferences
The motion prevailed and the session
closed.
CLEVELAND, May 27.-Bishop Ninde
presided over the Methodist confer
ence Tuesday. The book committee
reported in favor of taking the editor
ship of the Voice out of the hands OF
Messrs. Kelley, of New York, and
Moore, of Cincinnati, and placing it in
the hands of one man. A long and
heated debate followed, but finally
the report was adopted. The conse-
Grafton of the newly elected bishops,
Drs. McCabe, Cranston and Hartzell,
followed. Bishop Bowman presided
over this ceremony, which consisted o,
the singing of hymn, the reading OF
the collect by Bishop Vincent, reading
of an epistle from the Acts by Bishop
Thoburn and reciting of the gospel OF
st. John by Bishop Taylor, followed
by the presentation of the candidates
to the conference by the elders. Bishop
Fitzgerald offered prayer, the candi.
dates were formally examined and
Bishop Andrews invoked divine grace
upon the event. The ceremony OF
laying ON of hands by the bishops fol.
lowed, Bible was presented to each
of the new bishops, and after Bishop
Joyce had prayed and hymn been
sung the conservation was finished.
Bishop Walden presided over the af.
ternoon session of the conference,
which devoted several hours to hearing
standing committee reports. DIR. Payne,
from the committee on temperance, re-
| ported a strong series of resolutions,
coming out fiat-footed for prohibition,
and indorsing the work of the Anti
Saloon league. Adopted.
AT the evening session after a tenn
perance rally, the report of the CON.
mittee on constitution was again
taken up and an article was adopted
providing that members of the preced.
ing general conference could hold over
and set in special session If such
a meeting be called. An attempt was
made to give laymen equal rights with
ministerial delegates to preside over a
general conference in case no bishop is
present to preside and after a lengthy
discussion the section making such
provision was adopted.

Coronation Presents to the Czar.

The procession having passed, we
went to look at the illuminations
again, and to see the beautiful rooms
more closely, and the splendid pieces
of plate that had been sent to the czar
with the offering of bread and salt by
the various governments of Russia.
Perhaps the finest was one from the
government of Moscow, very hand
some gold plate with enameled arms in
medallions. The saltceller with this
plate was tiny copy of the famous
cl own of Monomachus, every detail
exact, and even the bordering of fur

treasurer and Rev. Louis Curtis assist
ant treasurer of the Missionary society.
These are the book agents and in the
best position to handle the funds.
Bishop Taylor was declared nom
effective by the general conference.
Bishop Taylor is the missionary bishop
of Africa, pioneer missionary and an
aged man. He is highly esteemed, but
is growing old. The committee on
episcopacy reported in favor of mis-
sionary in South Africa and an addi-
tional bishop in India, but the confer
ence did not approve this and decided
to elect only bishop for Africa. He
will be chosen in time to be consecrated
with Bishops McCabe and Cranston on
Tuesday. Whether he will be colored
man or white man is yet to be deter
mined. Bishop Thoburn holds life
position and will hold over in India,
but will get no assistant. The confer
ence decided to adjourn finally on
Thursday next.
CLEVELAND, May 26.-Bishop Foss
presided over the M. L. general confer
ence Monday. 1t was voted to hold
| two sessions day until the end of the
conference. Great disorder prevailed
and Bishop Foss was compelled to re-
buke the delegates. 1t was ordered
that cheap and complete edition of
the present hymnal be issued. Two
ballots were taken for the election of
missionary bishop for Africa and on
the second ballot Rev. DR.. j. Z. Hartzell
received 1886 out of 456 votes and was
declared elected. The delegates clam
ored for DR.. Hartzell to appear on the
platform. He came forward and was
given an affectionate greeting by the
entire bench of bishops. The tall, feeble
figure of Bishop Taylor, the hero OF
] pioneer missionary work in Africa,
arose, and walked toward the group
of which DIR. Hartzell was the center.
Bishop Taylor touched his successor on
the arm. DIR. Hartzell turned, and
seizing Bishop Taylor by the hand,
placed his disengaged arm on the
shoulder of the aged bishop. The con
ference went wild and stamped and
cheered with an abandonment not be-
fore witnessed in the conference
There were cries of Taylor, Taylor.
Bishop Taylor simply said: Il say
amen" and sat down.

stitution was lengthy, and preceding

Force of Habit.

Force of habit impels us to do a great
many ridiculous things. That clever
little compendium of wit and informa-
tion, Tit-Bits, well illustrates this fact
with story Of railway porter, living
in Lancaster, who was in the habit of
frequently getting up in his sleep, and
from whose actions it was evident that
his daily occupation was ever present
in his mind. One night he jumped up
hurriedly, ran down to the kitchen,
vigorously opened the oven door, and
cried out: "Change here for Bolton,
Bury and Manchester"

BACKACHE.
From the Press, Nc,p York ctty.

Few people have suffered more from pain
In the back than Mrs. Lille 3. Newell of
No. 2313 Second Avenue, New York City.
For several years she was 30 afflicted with
this distressing malady that she was hardly
able to get around, and could do little to
care for her children which made her suffer
ing all the harder to bear. Her husband,
Charles Newell, who is n well-known New
York optician, tried In every way to find q
remedy for his wife, but no medicine
seemed to have the power to remove her
pain.
Mrs. Glynn, a sister OF Mrs. Newell, is q
professional nurse, and was familiar with
the symptoms of her sisters sickness. Mrs.
Newell was away on visit when reporter
called upon her, but Mrs. Glynn, who lives
at No. 416 East One-hundred and-twentieth
Street, told the story Of her sisters re-
covery.
A doctor was called when Mrs. Newell's
condition became serious and he prescribed
small pink pills which, in q short time, re.
lieved the woman's pain as no other medi
cine has done. "After awhile" Mrs. Glynn
told the reporter, 1--WE learned that the medi
cine the physician was giving my sister was
nothing more than DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. Knowing by experience
how excellent n remedy these pills were
Mrs. Newell bought some at drug store
and continued taking them. The effect was
most gratifying, for in six months my sister
was perfectly well and the pain in her bacl
was nothing more than an unpleasant mem
ory. Both she and have recommended thu
Pink Pills to other people, who have no
failed to find them all that is claimed. AL
doctors my sister had been treated by, be
fore taking the pills, had done her no ap
parent good"
Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loos,
| form, by the dozen or hundred) at 80 cents
| box or six boxes for $3.50, and may be ha(
| of all druggists or direct by mail from DR.

sold makes a course of treatment inexpen
sive as compared with other remedies o

DIR. A. b. Leonard, of Cincinnati, and
DIR. A. j. Palmer, of New York, were
elected secretaries of the Missionary
society. The third secretary was bal
loted for, but no choice was made.
A resolution was passed indorsing
the bill now before congress to prohib-
it the sale of liquor in the Capitol at
Washington.
The'report of the committee on state
of the church caused spirited discus
sion. Their recommendation was that
no change be made in the wording of
the present discipline, which forbids
buying, selling or using Intoxicating
liquors, cards, dancing, the theater,
the circus and other similar amuse-
ments. After debate of nearly two
hours duration a standing vote was
taken and the recommendation to make
no change was indorsed by large ma
jority, only about 40 of the 500 dele
gates being on the negative side.
CLEVELAND, May 22.-The NJ. e. con-
ference on Thursday showed the first
sign that its business is approaching
completion. A resolution was carried
that no more memorials should be pre-
sented to or received by committees.
j. c. Hartzell and j. w. Hamilton
were reelected secretaries of the Freed
mems Aid and Southern Educational
society.
For corresponding secretary of the
Church Extension society, DIR. A. j.
Kynett and Dr. w. A. Spencer were re-
elected on the first ballot. DR.. Smith
was elected as third secretary of the
Missionary society.
CLEVELAND, May 23.-Elections and
episcopal residences We're the subjects
discussed by the Methodist general
conference on Friday. Bishop An
drews presided. No great interest was
taken in either matter. In the case of
every office filled, the former occupant
was again chosen, practically without
opposition. Portland, Ore, was fixed
upon as the sixteenth city for an epis-
copal residence.
The method by which bishops should
select their residences caused consider
able discussion. The proposal of the

President.
While Col. S. w. Fordyce, president
of the Cotton Belt road, was seated in
his private car at Pine Bluff, Ark. the
other day, he was approached by a
strengthening man, who demanded
$1,000. The fellow held package in
his hand and informed the colonel that
if he did not produce the money inside
of five minutes his friends and also the
company would regret it. He said he
had been working on one of the
branches of the Cotton Belt, and that
the company owed him 81, 900, and that
he would not leave the car until he got
it. He would accept no check, and
nothing would satisfy him but the
cash. Col. Fordyce engaged the man
in conversation, leading him to believe
that his claim would be paid, while
one of the members of the party slipped
out of the rear door of the car an6
summoned policeman. Chief Stewart
arrested the man and locked him up

to be a small box containing a number

Gladness Comes

\NIith n better understanding OF the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There IS comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Ss,rup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is tho
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating tho
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its hene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slsillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
! well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highSst and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction
