TODAY IN THE PULPIT.

to-day will be filled by members of the

of the work of selecting the preachers who
will be heard to-day. Each church will
have morning and evening sermon by a
Methodist preacher. Those who will be
heard are among the best in the confer
ence, and there will doubtless be large

Methodism, and his address was greatly

pride to the system of the Methodist

EPWORTH LEAGUES MEETING.
REV. s. A. Steele's Address on ''The
Pioneers of MethOdism."


The Epworth League meeting of the
conference was held last night at Wesley
Monumental church. 1t is customary for
each of the features of the work of the
church to be accorded a special evening
during the meetings of conference. All of
them missionary, church extension. edu-
cational and Epworth League, have now
had their meetings.
That of the Epworth League. while deal
ing not at all with that suggested by the
title, further than its having had what Is
unreservedly pronounced one of the finest
lectures ever heard in Wesley Monumental
church, delivered by the secretary of the
league, probably bore off the palm over
the other in point of interest.
There was large congregation in at
tendance, and every minute of the more
than an hour and half that was taken
up by the address of Rev. DIR. S. A. Steele
was enjoyed. Many, who had never be-
fore had the opportunity of hearing DR.,
Steele, had been told of his great ability
as an orator, but they found that the half
had not been told.
The lecture was on 1.-THE Pioneers of
Methodism,' subject that was treated
with all the grace and elegance of the fin
ished speaker, whose command of the most
beautiful and impressive diction the Ian
guage affords, is not second to his wonder
full gift of oratory. Or. Steelle's voice is
high pitched and as clear as a bell II
went ringing through the church i'm a wav
that set the pulses of his hearers tineling
and brought the fire of feeling to the
cheek.
The opening of the lecture abounded in
beautiful figures, the imagery used
enhancing in the minds of the
speakers hearers, the brilliant con-
ceptions of the early history of
the church as it was made by the indie
fatigabe workers for the success of Meth
odism. The grandeur of the work that
had been achieved by Wesley and his de-
voted followers, rivalling In its perpetuitv
the mightiest deeds of valiant hosts. was
depicted in manner that suffused the
faces of the brethren who listened with the
glow OF pride at the recountal of what has
been done by the men in whose footsteps
they follow, and whose views on Christ
ianity they are making it their mission to
carry on

Conference Members Want Her I'm
disturbed in Her Position.

A letter addressed to the state librarian
at Atlanta was read and considered by
the conference This letter was in behalf
of Miss levitt, at present the assistant
in the office of the librarian. It seems that
the lady is in fear of losing her position,
and she had written to the conference to
secure, if possible, its Endorsement of her
as assistant. 1t was explained that new
librarian had been recently appointed, and
that it was for this reason that Miss Jew
lit was uneasy. Her appeal to the con-
ference was made on the strength of her
membership of the church and of the high
position that had been held in it by her

Omaha, Nebr.,l July 31.-The roar of
lions. the trumpeting OF elephants and the
shrill screams of'othcr animals which 60

panic about daylight yesterday morning in
the northern past of the city, near the
grounds occupied by travelling show.
a fight occurred among the animals. in
which an entaged elephant broke his
ch;in and escaped, after knocking over
and almost demolishing cage or lions.
A ferocious elk broke the side OF the
tent and roamed off down through the
city, and several other animals broke from
their cages
A police cell was turned in, and, after
the animals had been captured and ex-
element subsidized, 1t was found that Scott
Johnson, of Omaha, had been gored by the
escaping el: AS il rushed through the streets.
Animal Keeper William Worthington had
been hurt by the elephant, and several
others bruised, while a score of citizens
had been frightened out of their wits by
the unusual sight OF wild animals charging
through their front vars.
The row staitedb by mischieyous monkey
teasing Jessie, the man-killing elephant.
The big beast finally broke her chain, and
with roar started after the monkey, which
flew around the cages, taking refuge be-
meath that occupied by the lions. The ele-
plant knocked the cage over, and the roar
of the lions started the other animals. The
elk easily escaped.
Worthington started after the elephant.
