Purchased a Hand Machine.

A hand sprayng machine was re- ceived yesterday afternoon by the board of public works. It will be used by Superintendent Kelley whenever it is practicable, and a trial given it yes terday gives evidence of it's efficiency upon trees of considerable height and size. The machine consists of a small tank mounted upon two wheels. At tached to the barrel is an ordinary force pump, which will throw a spray twen- ty-five feet high.
 A trial was made up the tree in the rear of the central police station. It re- quires two men to operate the machine.
 The steam engine will be purchased in eew days and work will be com menced.
 The indications are that the work cannot be postponed many days to be the most effective.

WOMAN QUESTION RESUMED.
Heated Debeate at the Cleveland Metho
 dist Conference,

Cleveland, May 6.-The general con- ference of the Methodist church was called to order at S:30 this morning. Bishop Warren presided.
 The debate on the woman question was resumed. It was heated and no decision was reached. Rev. Dr. Weed of New York East spoke against the admission of the four women delegates, although he favored the admission of women by constitutional means. The adoption of the majority report would discredit this conference.
 The Rev. c. B. Mason of Savannah said: For years I have voted for the woman and I am heartily in favor of giving her the right of church suffrage by constitutional means, but I do not think it wise to bring the woman in by judicial interpretation ofthe constitu- tion."
 Rev. Frank Bristol of Chicago in a brilliant speech moved to recommit both majority and minority reports, with instructions to bring in a report submitting the question to the annual conferences.
 The two reports were recommited by an almost unanimous vote.

 Holmes may die in silence. He said

LOCAL STOCK MARKET.
GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-The sensational
opening advance at Liverpool was the all
powerful influence in the wheat pit to-
dry and under it wheat advanced "a cent.
Other markets were almost deserted, but
steady, corn advancing II cent, and oats
u cent. Provisions show but little
change. Wheat opened with a whoop,
the first transactions for May being all
the way from 8312 to 81 as compared
with yesterdays closing price of S17s@82.
There was large stock OF bull sentiment
carried over from last night and this
was increased by the phenomenal advance
at Liverpool. 1t came in with jump
of from Sd to SID per GENITAL or the
equivalent of about 4 cents per bushel
over the price it closed at yesterday. The
excitement cooled off very suddenly, how
ever, in fact, but one or two trades were
made at the highest opening figures. The
jump at was qualified by the statement
that it was caused purely by specula-
tive buying and active liquidation soon
started. Outside market also sent selling
order and the price gradually declined to
S31A. But little can be said OF the re-
mainder of the session and prices did not
get far from the opening prices, 1914
being the ruling price most of the time.
At the close May was bringing 1914.
