They are to draw up the constitution
and after it is completed it is to be
published twice in all official papers of
the church within so days after its COM
pletion. This commission is also au-
thorized to devise rules for election,
and not less than three or more than
six months afterwards, the church will
vote on its adoption. Only those over
81 years of age will be permitted to
vote, and the result shall be certified
to the secretary of this general confer
ence. If adopted by majority of
those voting, the constitution so
adopted shall be effective at once. The
resolution was referred to the commit
tee on constitution.
During the session of the conference
Bishop Fowler made a number of witty
sallies, which provoked much mirth.
The conference got into wrangle over
the report of remarks made by Rev.
Quayle in regard to the Society of
Christian Endeavor and resolution
declaring that the conference was not
responsible for the declarations which
Rev. Quayle was credited with having
made was laid on the table.
Amanda Smith, one of the most IA
nous colored evangelists, was present
and the conference suspended business
to receive her. She was given the
greatest ovation of the conference, and
was requested to sing. The delegates
joined in the chorus and one song was
insufficient and second was called for
and given. She aroused the greatest
enthusiasm. AS none of the commit
tees were ready to report, the confer
ence adjourned over an hour ahead of
time.

FALLACEOUS IN EVERY
PARTICULAR.

The following clipping is sent us
by one who does not clearly see its
fallacy:
A Michigan farmer sends the follow
ing to his home paper, which comes very
close to the mark: General Alger is
right. The price of everything else has
gone down with silver. know this be-
cause 1 can take fifty cents worth of
silver today and buy as much horse, as
much COW, as much hog, as much grain,
as much wool, as much butter, as much
egg, and, in fact, as much of any farm
produce as l could with one dollars
worth of silver when / bought my farm
in 1870, but when | come to make pay
ment on my mortgage, which is not al
together wiped out, still have to put
up one dollars worth of silver IA gold
dollAr) to pay one dollars worth of
mortgage. In other words, everything
my farm produces, except the mortgage,
has gone down half in value. That is
why 1 am a silver Republican, and why
the man who holds the mortgage IS a
gold Republican. Hurrah for Bryan u
Its fallacies are numerous. First,
General Alger never said, and 1t is
not true, that the price of everything
else has gone down with siver.
Second, Michigan farmers in 1870
did not sell produce for silver, but
for paper money worth IS cents in
gold. Third, Michigan farmers in
1870 did not give gold mortgages
they received for their mortgages rs
cent currency, Fourth, the farmer
does not now have to put up one dol
lars worth of silver to pay one dol
lars worth of mortgage; fifty-three
cents worth of silver now pays one
dollars worth of gold mortgage. A
silver dollar pays just as much OF
the mortgage as it did in 1870, and
win continue to do so unless Bryan
is elected. 1t will drop to its bullior
value the moment the treasury re.
fuses to pay gold when gold is de
manded by the creditors of the gov
ernment. Then the farmer whose
farm is under a gold mortgage viii
indeed have to pay one dollars wortI
of silver for every one dollars wortl
of mortgage; and then will he curse
the day Bryan was elected.
There is further fallacy in this, i
e., that the increased purchasing
power of dollar of today is not con
sidered in the least. 1t is fallaciou
all through.

No man since Washington has had
as complete control over the policy
and destiny of nation as did Bis
marck in Germany from 1871 to
1885. No one man ever did more
to bring nation into position of
power, national importance and pros
perity than did Bismarck. He it
was who established and maintained
the gold standard in Germany, and
during the many years he ruled that
great nation he never advised re-
turn to the silver basis. His advice
to the United States, therefore, to
go to the silver basis should be
viewed with caution. The fact is,
he is still jealous of Germany and
Germany's greatness, and no man
would be more pleased than Bis
marck to see the United States Grip
pied commercially.

other, the excitement of bitter
prejudice, which will require years

hatred among ignorant people. He
is no friend of the people whom he
is trying to excite; he is simply a
polished sand lot orator.

JOHN BROWN ESCAPES.
Insane Asylum Guard Does Not Exer-
else Proper Yigilence.
Plays Franks in Various Parts of the
City--Arrested on the slope
of Punchbowl.

John Brown, who has been confined
in the insane asylum for the past six
weeks, taking the gold cure, escaped
yesterday morning through the lack of
vigilance Of one of the guards, and at
ter playing pranks in different parts OF
the city was captured by Captain Ev
ans on the slope of Punchbowl at about
1870 o'clock in the evening.
At about $3.50 p. m. telephone mes
sage was received at the police station
to the effect that a man was acting
queerly in the vicinity, and that native
boys We're throwing stones at him.
mounted patrolman was dispatched
TO the place, but no man could be found.
little later another telephone mes
sage was received from the corner of
Queen and Punchbowl streets. The
same queer man had just struck a ma
tive and run into a Chinese shop. An
other officer was sent there, but again
the man had disappeared.
At $50 a message was received from
the corner of Punchbowl street and
Palace Walk. A man had entered a
yard near by and was acting queerly.
Patrolman Dunbar was again sent out,
and this time caught his man. He was
huddled up against the fence, trem bling
in every limb. When asked what allied
him he replied that he had been stoned
by native boys. The officer asked him
where he lived and he answered
''Punchbowl street. At this he started
off, saying he was going home for a
sleep.
1t seems that John Brown, for it hap
pened to be none other, walked up
Punchbowl street and went around
back of Lieutenant Hollis house on the
slope of PunchbowI, where he lay down
in the bushes and went to sleep.
A police officer spying the man took
him to be a deserving sailor and teIe-
phOned to the police station. Captain
Evans had just stepped in and took a
hack to the place. He was much sur
prised to find Brown, who surrendered
without any resistance.
Brown escaped from the insane asy-
lum about 1880 a. m. yesterday while in
charge of certain guard Men were
sent out in search of him and had not
returned up TO the time of capture
Brown had been locked up in the
police station a short time when Su-
perintendent Cutter of the insane asy-
lum arrived in company with Guard
George Wilson and took the man back
to the institution.

This is hot weather, food
spelling weather, unless the
proper attention is given
to refrigerator suggestions.
There's all sorts of devices
for keeping food fresh, good,
bad or Indifferent. Some of
the named refrigerators are
no better than dry goods
boxes; the lining is not right
and the system of draught
and air circulation is defec-
tive.
In the United States there
were complaints against the
Quincy, complaints we had
not heard of here. When
we were at the Coast a few
weeks ago, we took the
trouble to investigate and
learned that the objections
were all right, but they were
against the Quincy Challenge

ney Cleanable.
We sell the Cleanable;

we don't sell any other. The
Quincy Cleanable is lined
with mineral wool, the great

science; the Quincy Chal-
Ienge is lined with charcoal
and is a cheap combination

WOMAN'S WAY.

There's a saying often quoted
And at man tits often hurled,
That the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world;
I've no reason to dispute it;
No good cause to say it nay,
There is only this about it,
1t is simply woman's way.
Woman is a thing quite fragile,
She would rather faint than fight.
And unless you're very agile
l don't know but what she's right;
Would you see a transformation,
See her on bargain day,
Football rushes are not in it,
With her simple, woIhan's way.
When woman goes a-shopping,
Time no value is to her,
While the clerk who waits is dropping
With fatigue he can't demur;
Then she suddenly remembers
That she can no longer stay;
Foolish clerk to mourn and mutter,
1t is simply woman's way.
If the cause of prohibition
Was for woman odecide
Men would see an exhibition
Of a power they now deride.
Yet the soda man, I'm thinking,
All the livelong summer day,
Smiles as woman does her drinking,
In her simple woman's way.
When woman takes a street car,
Journeys short and journeys slow,
And her destination reaches,
From the car she wants to go,
Should she leave the car in motion,
On her back she'll promptly lay,
For she always steps off backwards
1t is simply wOman's way.
When YOU hear your wife complaining
That your income is too small,
And on such small allowance
She cannot exist at all,
When she gets her new spring bonnet
And the bill you have to pay,
Don't reproach her-'pOn my honor
1t is only woman's way.
Oft the city streets are crowded;
If a woman would go by,
Then with gloom his face is clouded
AS the policeman sees her try,
For he knows without assistance
She will only reach half way,
Then will stand to be run over
In her simple woman's way.
AS you lie in peaceful slumber,
And your wife wakes up in fright,
She's quite sure she hears a burglar
In the middle of the night.
Tho you search you can't discover
Burglars you can drive away;
Just go back to bed-dOn't murmur-
1t is simply woman's way.
Truly woman has her failings
Just the same as we poor men;
When you hear poor souls wailings.
Don't ascribe it all to them,
For in danger, death or anguish,
Without thought or hope of pay,
Woman is a min string angel
In her simple woman's way.
