TO THE METHoDIsTs OF ALABAMA

TO THE MICTHODISTS OF ALABAMA.
 The Alabama Methodist Orphanage of Sun1merfiald under the blessings of God has been exceedingly prosperous. and most cheerfully supported not only by our churcE but by the generous heart ed people, of the state of all classes and crecds.
 Rev. g. P. West. of the North Alabama Conference.-The father of the movement that esta ablished the orphanage-was for years its active and efficient agent
 In 1898 he resigned and Rev. J. w. Menifee, of the Alabama Conference, was elected by the board of directors to the agency. and in December following went to work with a zeal and efficiency charac- teristic-ef thissnfan of God. On or about 2 Ma N 1st, z f1is' Eeh !. Bro. Menifee was forced by severe illness to cease from la bor and on the 29th day of that month God called him to his reward.
 The board of, directors are endeavoring to secure, and now indulge the hope that they have secured the services of Dr. T. G. Slaughter. of the North Alabama Con- ference, as agent. Should he consent to serve the Orphanage he will not. by reas- on of other duties, go actively into the work untib about July 10th. next. !, The idea th eof our agent and the delay in supplying his place has involved loss of about two and one-half months col lection to the Orphanage, and we appeal te the MethodistC- of the state to give Dr. Slaughter prompt and earnest money support as funds are needed.
 The niatron of the Orphanage. Mrs. c. " Austin as manager, is the peer of any woman fn tbs state. The inducements of her Christian character and womanly Vir- tues made to the executive committee in 1883, by Drs A. J. Lamar and J. A. Peter son and Rev. I. F. BlIbro. have been just fled by her -exeelif4nt control of the Home and moaherly care for the children every day since she took charge in that year. M We desire to impress every community in this state having children without pa- rents. or the means of support. that every auualifica tion of mind and heart obtains man constituting proper guardianship over orphan children, and we insist ah at many advantages for common educat tion and Christian culture re extended under her regime that are often neglected in private Christian homes.
 The demand from country homes for children during the past year has ex- ceeded applica tions for admis ion into the Orphanage. and we can now readily care for any child coming within the age and other limits prescribed by the rul.s of our institu.ion.e
 The work belongs to you. As your servants. we speak facts. and make plea for continued liberality, assured that word by way Of remembrance" is suf- ficient tto stimulate your good will and hearty support. Fraternally,

ORCHARD LANDS ARE RUINED.
ClOudburst Devastated the Valley
of ASOtin Creek.

Asotin. WASH. May 2l.-A cloudburst
at some point as vet unknown up the lit
tie valley of Asotin creek sent wall Of
water down the valley THURSDAY after
noon which carried devastation in its
train. Stock was drowned. houses wreck
ed. bridges washed out. and orchards
ruined. The loss is roughly estimated at
500, 900. The pleasant little valley was a
continuous orchard and garden for ID
miles above the town. The Spokesman
Review correspondent has just returned
from a trip four miles up the valley. and
from persons on the road 1t was learned
that the flood extended for at least three
miles beyond that, and how much further
is unknown.
So far as reported no lives were lost.
but considerable stock persisted. The
houses Of Robert Campbell and John Dill
were wrecked. and John Miller's house
was carried 800 feet from Its foundations.
Many other places were more or less dam
aged Between Asotin and a point four
miles up the creek all the bridges. five in
number were washed out. Two of these
belonged to the town and three to the
county. The loss in this particular Is
about $500. 1t is thought that other
bridges were washed out further up the
stream.
But the chief loss was in the destruc-
tion of orchards and gardens. The tor
rent tore through these with great fury,
carrying debris with great force and
washing out and breaking off the smaller
trees The larger trees were left stand
ing, though they were badly damaged.
In the town of AsOtin comparatively lit
tie damage was done beyond the washing
out of the bridges. The park was ruined

made her influence felt at past conven-

at the coming gathering to endeavor to
secure a similar concession for the Scam

of dividing the order in this manner has
been strenuously opposed. ii is conceded
that the organization in the states named
has been more prosperous since the rec

1t is probable that Mrs. Myhrman will
prevail in the present instance.
