WILL SIT As LAY: DELEGATES.
Four Tomen to Participate In the Metho-
dist Episcopal Conference.


dist Episcopal Conference.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, April 3. = Four
women will sit as lay delegates in the gem
eral conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, which will assemble here May 1,
and have a voice in its deliberations. This
is practically the decision of the church
as represented by the votes already taken
in the annual conference throughout the
country. Its definite decision must, of
course, await action by the general con-
ference.
The annual conferences have been vot-
ing on the question, and all through-th the
West the maJorities have been overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the women. Eight con-
ferences were in session this week, and
seven remain to be held next week. Most
of these are in the East, where the seLti-
ment has been against women, but none
of them will exhibit decided change OF
opinion.
But the question, although as good as
settled already according to the present
outlook, will be in the coming general con-
ference, as it has been in some confer
ences in the past, the one question over
shadowing all others. Consideration of it
will make the general conference of 1895
the most interesting and exciting session
held in years, and formal and definite dis
position of it will mark crisis in the his
tory of the Methodist church.

CROOKSTON, MIMI, April 3.-Colonel
Adam F. Naff, whom Yesterdays reports
said had gone through the ice on the Rainy

safe and sound. The report that they were
drowned was started by settlers and
indians on the northern boundary, and
originated in the fact that the party did
meet with mishap on the river and all
went through. Colonel Naff and the
United States Deputy Marshal escaped
and succeeded in getting horses and return
ing to civilization, but the rest of the outfit
were drowned, being swept under the ice.

The Atlantic Ferry.

The History of North Atlantic Steam
Navigation, by Henry Fry, Lloyds agent
at Quebec, Canada, will be read with in
terest by all who are at all interested in
ocean steamers. The author saw the
launch of the steamship Great Western in
1857, the first steamer built for the North
Atlantic trade, and the Great Britain i'll
1913, the latter having been the pioneer
ocean screw steamer. Mr.. Fry has also
crossed the Atlantic 81 times in various
lines. The book contains 300 pages and
is copiously illustrated. Among the best
cuts are those of the Collins Line steam
ship Atlantic, the Cunard Line sidewheel-
St Louis, Partisan, Britannia. Majestic.
Great Eastern, Columbia, Furst Bismarck,
the famous Scotch built wooden clipper
ship ThermoplH and the American four
masted ship Great Republic. There are
also excellent portraits of Clement A .
Griscom and the late VIM Cramp The
work contains a mass OF historical and
statistical matter that cannot fail to inter
est all who wish to become versed upon
the Atlantic ferry. At the end of the
book there is chart of North Atlantic
line routes, showing winter and summer
tracks of Cunard steamers outward and
inward bound. Mr. Fry has made accur-
acy the first consideration, but we think
the book contains one error, though it is
not very material one. He locates the
wreck of one of the early Cunard steam
ers at Cape Sable, Nova Scotia, but we
have always understood the steamer was
wrecked on Seal Rocks near the entrance
of the Bay of Fundy. The writer was in
an iron steamer which went onto these
rocks in thick fog some years later, but
got off without much damage, and was
told at the time that that was where a
Cunard steamer was wrecked.

bar and Duncan.
The high jumping, diving and forward
somersetting was by members of the SEN
ior class, Magee acting as leader. Staples
led the tumbling, in which some taking
features were introduced. The brother

gee, Duncan and Fisher, WAS applauded

INGERsoLL. Ingersoll does not trouble
us ministers much. His talk may be
witty, but his jibes and arguments are
rehash of those of Paine and Voltaire, ar
guments which have been answered SO
often, and which are so ancient and musty,
that we are surprised that Ingersoll is
willing to be so far behind the time as to
dress them up and trot them out again.
They are about as effective for his purpose
as seventeenth century blunderbuss
would be against a modern ironclad.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. The great tri-
umphant principle of our American
Christianity is that it is an independent,
self-supporting, self governing Church in
Tree country, eAlstlng independently OF
the Church, but at the same time in per-
feet harmony and friendly relationship
with it. By our American principle per-
secution is made impossible, because man
has religious liberty in the fullest sense,
in thought, speech and action, so long as
he does not interfere with public peace
and order. America recognizes religion
as purely voluntary. She accords the
same freedom to religious liberty that she
does to civil liberty, without regard to
creed, sect or party. Rev. S. n Usher,
Methodist, West Chester, Pa.

GENTLEMEN :-When wrote you
the latter part OF December, my
mother was, according to the honest
belief of three physicians, on her
deathbed: she could not retain either
food or medicine on her stomach, and
it did not seem reasonable to think
there was anything but death to re-
Iieve her. The doctors informed US
she had a cancer in the lower bowel
and there was no cure for her. She
showed such vitality for a person to
be 50 near death we thought there
must be something to help her, and
reading of others being saved by the
use of your S. 5. s, we thought it
would do no harm, if not some good
to try it, so we informed her of her
condition, just as the doctors had in
formed us, and left it with her to try
your remedy or not, as she saw fit.
she concluded to try it and from the
first dose or two, she began to brighten
mp, and improve; she can now get up,
dress and help herself, and can eat
everything or anything she wants and
no distress from it. We all feel quite
hopeful that the cancer will pass away
in due time by the use of your S. S. s.,
which she will now gladly take. You
my make this letter as public as you
choose, and the more so the better, as
too much praise can not be given your
valuable remedy.
Yours truly,

CHANCE. Chance is uncertainty, and
anyone who undertakes any work, any
transaction or any performance without
seeing his way clear, trusting to chance,
must not be surprised if he meets with
failure and disappointment, especially
when the chance is based upon mere sus-
picion. Rabbi l.. Weiss, Hebrew, Co
