In answer 10 the clerks inquiries Mr..
Hersey stated that is citizen and twen-
ty-one years of age. but Miss Quionio con-
fessed that she is two years younger and
that she is a subject of Grea; Britain, ex-
planning that while she came to this coun-
try with her parents when she was but five
years of age, they had never become nat
uralized citizens of this country. The
young people were informed by the clerk
that before the license could be issued to
them Miss Quionio would have to obtain
from the British ambassador a certificate
TO the effect that under the English laws
she would be entitled to wed. They then
visited the British embassy, and reported
On their return to the city hall that the
certificate had been refused because under
the English law Miss Quiopo is under age
The young womans father being dead and
her mother being in California, the consent
OF parents required by the local maria ge
laws could not be obtained yesterday, so
the clerk refused to grant them the H.
crnse.

decided that the confectioners of the Dis
trict OF Columbia, who are in the habit of
selling branded cherries in bottles, must

SOUTHERN METHODIsTs.
Lnterestest In the Appointments to lie
Made In Local PnstOrates.


Interest is exceedingly strong this year
in the annual session of the Baltimore con-
ference of the Southern Methodist Church,
which is to meet next Wednesday at Staun-
ton Va, and continue in session for about
week. The two most important appoint
ments in Washington district are vacant
this year by reason of the expiration of the
me limit they being as follows: Presiding g
elder Rev. Rumsey Smithson. DID,, and
pastorate of Mt. Vernon Church, Rev. L.
W. Canter DID. In addition to these there
are four other vacancies in Washington
district, all in the neighboring Virginia
counties. but to Washingtonians the in
terest attaches to the local charges, for
they are the very best in the conference
while the others are comparatively small
As to the presiding eldership, it is as GER
tain as the laymen can make it that DIR.
Canter will fill the position. He has special
qualifications for the place, having been
very active and successful during his four
years pastorate In planting missions, and
1t is on account of this and of the respect
In which he is held by the people of Mt.
Vernon that the very strongest kind of an
effort Is being made to have him stay in
Washington.
In the Southern Methodist Church, how
ever, the bishop has very much of say,
and 1t is on this account that uncertainty
certain is the name of the minister who is
to come to Mt. Vernon. 1t Is very proba BILE.
though. that since the available ministers
OF the conference are otherwise engaged
he will be selected from another confer
ence, and In this connection are mentioned
the names Of Rev. G. w. Briggs pastor of
the church at Owensboro', KY; Rev DR..
McFerin of Louisville, KY, and of Rev
Felix K. Hill of Kansas City. 1t is only
within the past few days that the name of
the former has been mentioned, but he has
been taken up by some of the active mem
bers of the congregation, and he may be
the next pastor. Those who are taking
part in the selection of pastor are par
ucularly fortunate this year. for the rea :
sen that the bishop who is to preside at the
conference. Rt. Rev. Charles R. Galloway
OF Mississippi, is to be in Washington or
Saturday. and will preach at Mt. Vernon
or Sunday morning and at Epworth
church in the evening A committee will
have talk with the bishop about the mat
ter before he leaves Washington, and It is
possible that they may strongly incline him
one way or the other, in favor of one of
the ministers. Incidentally, few words
VIII be spoken in behalf of DIR. Canter. but
BISHOP Galloway is SO well acquainted with
n'm that In appointing the presiding elder
ne VIII only have to consider the necessity
or the place and not the qualifications of
the doctor. Very little speculation has been
II dulged in by the local Methodists as to
the rest OF the vacancies in the conference
as they have enough to do in looking out
1or pastor for themselves.

music closed the exercises. The last year
was referred to in the addresses as one
of constant revival and increasing good
feeling. Harmony prevails and the outlook
