FEW LAY DELEGATES.

one particularly noticeable feature
Of the conference was the small at
tendance of lay delegates. This is eX-
ulained by the fact that many
churches had made their selection thus
doing away with the necessity of lay
delegate representation.
The report of the committee on state
Of con@e"cnce showed n decided pro-
grcss all along the line, and out of a
total of 4G churches and missions very
few required any assistance by appro-
priations from conference.
In regard to the matters referred to
tne general conference, very little was
sent for legislati ton to that body.
The matter of invitation by church.
however, was referred as also the ques-
tiun Of a revision of the discipline at
present governing the conference
churches. The principal items of dis
cipline which were referred are the sec-
tions governing the baptismal and
marriage ceremonies and a decided
change may be made In these sections
4 matte" which was to have been re-
ferred for legislation was that Of the
limit of service by one minister al

however, laid upon the table by the

Some rather broad allegations are
made by Joseph Fellows against Cor

yesterday to secure the roconveyance
Of land which, the plaintiff alleges Mr..
Smiths son, John Stanley Smith, Is
irregularly possessed of.
The suit is directed jointly against
father and son. In the paper book pre-
pared by l.. c. NewComb, attorney for
Mr.. Fellows, 1t is made to appear that
Cornelius Smith, while attorney for Mr..
Fellows In the suit for the recovery of
the Fellows estate on the West Side,
induced his client after having already
decided one-half the land to him, to
deed to his son, John Stanley Smith,
another onp-fOurth interest, which was
to be considered in the light of a re-
imbursement for the attorneys SER
vices and certain monthly allowances,
which the then destitute Fellows was
to receive. The attorney, it would
seem, tired of this agreement and by
mutual consent, it is alleged, it was
dissolved. Smith was to destroy the
deed given to his son and Fellows was
to have his property rcconveyed to
him.

REVIEW OF THE
CONFERENCE WORK
Recent Gathering Of Primitive Methodist
Ministers Was a Notable 0ne.
MUCH GOOD WAS ACCOMPLISHED
Reports Received Show That the
Churches within the Jurisdiction Of
the Conference Are In Prosperous
Conditions Questions That Were
Referred to the General Confcr-
ence.-Matter of Time Limit Will
BE Voted on by the Church.

The annual state conference for 1897
of the Primitive Methodist denomina-
tion has passed into history. After
O. full week of laborious consideration
OF the business to consider which the
conference met, the members have
nearly all returned to their homes.
Many will go to new stations, others
will retain the same station held the
previous year.
The conference Just held has been a
prominent one in several respects,
namely, the great amount Of business
accomplished in the specified time; the
small amount OF matter sent up to the
general conference for legislation, and
above all the success that has attend
ed the churches during the year passed
and the good condition Of all DEPART
ments of work in the conference
charge.
The Missionary fund. under the able
supervision of its secretary, Rev. c..
Prosser, of Scranton, has reduced a
Cebt of 81 100 to 1922 in two years,
and the reelection Of Rev. NJ. Prosser
TO the onerous office of secretary Of
this fund for a third term is a fit
ting recognition OF this work.
The Redemption fund, which has for
its commendable purpose. the paying
off of claims held against a dcfunct
nuok concern in which the Pennsyl-
vhnia conference had third control,
has too accompanied much. Much of
the debt assumed has been met and
satisfactory arrangements have been
made to take care Of claims still! un-

DEED WAS RECORDED.

Fellows believed this had been done,
but when the Supreme court finally
decided the land suit in his favor he
discovered that the deed had not been
destroyed, but instead had been duly
recorded in the name Of Mr.. Smiths
son. This, Fellows AYERS, was an un-
due, unfair and unlawful advantage
taken on the part of an attorney
against his client and he petitions to
have the deed cancelled and the land
reconveyed to him.
Fellows land is situated in the Twen-
ty-first ward extending from the Key
sey Valley railroad TO the Ransom
township line and lying between the
lands Of Henry Griffin and the Della
ware Lackawanna and Western COM
pany, containing in all sixety-one acres
and being worth between $4,000 and
$50, 600.
In the early sos the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western company wanted
piece of the land for siding or some
such purpose and a bargain was struck
whereby another portion of the land
which the company had leased for a
dumping ground was to be released
and traded for the newly desired strip.
Attorney r. T.. LoOmis, who was engi-
neering the deal for Fellows, discovered
that Mrs. Fellows, who had separated
from her husband, would not become a
party to the deal and as a means OF
overcoming this difficulty and giving
the Delaware, Laciawanna and West
ern company clear title, a sheriff's
sale was had.

southwark in cold weather. Superintend-
ent Fulton, however. declared that the
birds would remain during the winter If
regularly fed. For their shelter a number
of small bird houses will be erected in

has no fears but that they will become do

ROYAL MATCHMAKING,

The Remarkable Success In That Line
OF Queen Louise of Denmark.
From the Youths Companion
Denmark is a small country, which does
not have large part in the worlds affairs
but its court Is an important one by rea-
son of its marriage alliances and the per-
sonal influence Of the king and queen.
Whenever there Is a court ball at Coppen-
hagen, one of the liveliest dancers is King
Chrlstian TX, who is still young at heart,
although close to his eightieth year
His wife, Queen Louise is his senior by
several months, and has ceased to dance in
the royal Quadrilles. She has been one of
the most successful mathematics in Eu-
rope, and still takes keen interest in this
royal sport.
For her oldest son, the crown prince. the
queen found suitable partner nearly thir-
~ years ago in Princess Louisa, daughter
OF the King Of Sweden and Norway. Her
Oldest daughter became the Princess of
wales. and her second daughter the wife of
Gar of Russia
Her second son. after his election as King
OF Greece. married a Russian grand duch-
ess. With one grandson on the Russian
throne, and another. the Duke of York des-
tined to reign In England and with two
other grandsons heirs to the crowns of Dem
mark and Greece. Queen Louise may be de-
seribed as the grandmother of four en-
Two other marriages this adroit MATCH
maker has arranged. Her third son, Prince
Waldemar. married Princess Marie dor
leans: daughter of the Due de Charities. and
her third daughter became the wife of the
luke OF Cumberland, a great grandson of
George Ill of England who might have
teen King of England if Queen Victoria
rad died in her girlhood
These were marriages which brought
great fortunes in the Danish family. for
me orleans princess was an heiress and the
Duke OF Cumberland was also rich.
Queen Louise, having married Off all her
cflidren with marked success, has begun to
arrange new Series Of alliances for her
grandchildren. Her theory has been thai
the re1gnfng house of a feeble country like
Denmark can be converted into a center az
innuence IN Europe by discreet but ambi-
tlous marriages. She acted upon this prin-
c1pie when she advised her grandson the
crown Prince of Greece, to marry a sister
OF the German emperor.
The queen is not only a matchmaker.
but also a woman of great force of char
acter and a good mind. Her influence
mas been felt at the family councils
throughout Europe. The late car and the
present Emperor of Russia have attached
great weight to her advice Copenhagen
mas been the capital where for two gen.
erationS the Russian imperial family have
been frequent visitors and have thrown
off the cares of state.
In September Queen Louise's eiphtiet n
birthday was celebrated by a reunion of
her descendants and relations in Coren-
hasen 1t was large family party from
many courts of Europe, and she received
the congratulations of nearly all the SOW
ereigns on the continent
