This implies the passage of the character
of the ministers, and followed by the re-
port or the missionary collections in the
individual churches during the year.
The Bridgeton District was taken UP
first, and the report showed that the mis-
sionary collection was some 500 greater
than last year, which caused the Bishop
to remark that this was very good con
sidering the greater depression. The re-
port of Central M. e. Church was S722;

ports for Commerce street and Wesley

He wanted to get acquainted with every
body and he had every one to stand up

when he commenced speaking.
In the pulpit sat Revs. Carman, Heis-
Ter, Gosher. Rev. John B. Haines pre-
sided at the organ, there being no one in
the church who would volunteer to do
the playing.
The service was then formally opened
with song service. By this time there
were more persons who had gathered in
the church, but not enough to make
much OF showing in the large edifice, so
DIR. Hamilton invited them to come for
ward so that he would not have to talk
over empty seats.
A responsive reading followed, the con-
gregation asking the questions and DR.
Hamilton answering them. The Doxol-
ogy was sung between the questions
after which the song "Do Something fol

AN EXPLANATION.

In view of the fact that some mis-
representation have been made as to
the fundamental laws of the Modern
Woodmen of America | beg leave to
submit the following which fully ex-
plains itself:
The executive committee of the M.
w. A., with Head Consul WA. North
cett as chairman, has ruled as follows:
"a member of the M. w. A. does not
forfeit his certificate by removing out
side of the prescribed territory or juris-
diction after he becomes MEMBER /
also quote from our fundamental laws,
Division |, section A, as follows: "Pro-
vided, however, that when one hum
dred or more members of the fraternity
have become actual residents of any of
the cities herein excepted, any number
of them not less than fifteen may OBJ
tain withdrawal cards from their re-
spectlve camps, and petition for a
charter to establish good fellowship
camp, and said camp when chartered
and instituted shall have all the rights
and privileges of all other local camps,
except that they shall not have the
power to adopt new members" Why
the necessity of the above provision
were it true that number who moves
outside the territory forfeits his men,
bership and insurance? And further,
there are more than one thousand men,
bers residing in Chicago, which is pro-
hibited territory, yet they are members
in good standing as is shown by the
head clerks monthly report. In the
language of the attorney general of the
M. w. A. ut is pity that men pro-
Tossing to be fraternal cannot build up
their own order without attempting to
pull down some other society,"" If ev-
cry one would tell the truth the M. w.
A. would not suffer criticisms of any
kind, as the only way we are ever in
jured is when some one gets after us
who has no regard for the truth.

Western Union Telegraph Co. The
second verdict ofthe Brown county jury
gave Sam SIS, $50. The case is ordered
sent back for new and third trial.
Chief Justice Start says that the mes
sage transmitted was susceptible, on it's
face, of a libelous meaning, and that
the evidence was sufficient to justify
finding by the jury that the defendant
maliciously published the libel. But
the verdict of SIS, $50 is SO excessive, the
court says, as to justify the conclusion
that it was the result of a passion and
prejudice.
