METHODIST DISTRICTS.
Trinity Church Goes on Record in Favor
of the New Plan.

The principal business of the adjourn
ed meeting of the fourth quarterly con-
ference of Trinity NJ. E. Church, Mon
day evening" was a consideration of the
proposed scheme for changing the boun-
daries of the presiding elders districts,
so that the elders may be located in the
principal cities of the conference. Under
the present arrangement Boston is div
ided among three districts, and none
of the districts is conveniently arranged.
1t is also proposed to do away with the
second and third quarterly conferences
Of the churches, which the presiding ell
der is expected to attend, so that he shall
be obliged to pay but two official visits
to each church in his district instead of
four. This will give him time to do more
work among the weaker churches where
his presence is needed. These matters
will come up before the New England
conference to be held in this city next
month. The following resolutions were
adopted, Monday evening, as expressing
the sentiment of the laymen of Trinity
Church:
At an adjourned meeting of the fourth
quarterly conference of Trinity M. e.
Church, the following resolutions were
passed:
Whereas, the question of readjusting
the presiding elders districts of the New

sideration by a committee appointed at

Extracts from An Interesting Letter to
Officer Gould from His Cousin.

officer Charles F. Gould has recently
received an interesting letter from his
cousin, Theodore L. Lowe, who lives
near the soldiers home postoffice, in Los
Angeles county, California, on the San
Vicente rench about Is miles from Los
Angeles. Mr. Lowe, who was born in
Clinton, is a retired major on half pay.
He enlisted in a Massachusetts regiment
and served through the war. Since then
he has enlisted in the army for five
years; and at the expiration of his time
would take up a quarter acre Of gov
ernment land, live on it for the neces-
sary six months, and then enlist again.
He has done this several times and has
considerable land scattered throughout
the west
Following are some extracts from the
letter:
1--WE can gather our own vegetables
from the garden every day in the year,
and can see the snow on the mountains
at the same time. In two hours one can
go from eating oranges and strawber-
ries in the fields to the snow and have
a sleigh ride--what do you think Of that
for Gods country to live in?

PRELIMINARY OPENING VIEW.

Today and tomorrow the big establish
ment Of the A. S. Lowell Co. will ba
all aglow with it's dress ana new spring
millinery. On the days mentioned no
doubt thousands of the ladies of WoE~
cester and vicinity will visit this enter
prising firm and learn of the many new
and charming eonceits that Dame Fish
ion has in store for them this season.
Among the most desirable trimmings
being used by the most fashionable of
milliners, are those that are Of extreme
ly soft textile, such as chiffon, mousel
line de sole, Liberty silks, gauze, etc,
which form the larger part of the direct
trimmings, while straw braids of every
description are most largely used in hat
manufacture In flowers there is pro-
fusion of favorites, the most predomi-
nant species being heather, crushed
roses, Hlacs. violets, clover, bluettes.
bachelor buttons, mignonette, sweet
peas narcisse, orchids, poppies, and, in
fact, an endless variety is engaging the
modiste's attention, while spangled
quilts, birds, parrots, etc, are also in
popular favor; rhinestone and steel Or
naments in odd shapes, aigrettes of the
sweeping variety, and ostrich plumes in
black, cerise, yellow, coque de roche.
turquoise and the pretty new shades OF
greens, are also very desirable. In rib
bons-satin, soliel taffetds, double
faced satins, gauze and pIalds are con-
spicuously displayed. Ready to wear
turbans and toques trimmed with chif-
fon rosettes, the new rolls and quilts
are in great demand. Trimmed sailors
and trimmed walking hats are immense
ly popular while he assortment of un-
trimmed hats in the Shephcrdess, Rem
brandt and short back effects, is simply
superb.
In the trimmed hat deparrmentare some
of the choicest and daintiest CONNECTIONS
of all the celebrated Partisan and Eng
lish modistes, as well as a striking and
varied collection of the Lowell Co.'S ex-
elusive American patterns, designed by
Miss E. A. Sloper, whose creations have
50 often captured the feminine heart OF
Worcester and vicinity.

Whereas, such readjustment contem-
plates such a division of the conference
as will create districts with natural CEN
ters for the residence of the elders, such
as Boston, Worcester Springfield and
perhaps some city northerly of Boston,

Boston, March N.-The legislative ses-
sions We're brief this afternoon. The
house went through it's calendar by 3
O'Clock, and the senate had concluded
it's daily work two minutes later. There
were no reports of great moment, al
though the bill from the harbor and land
committee, providing for the restoration
of Green Harbor in Marshfield, by the
construction of an anchorage basin at
an expense of $67 ,000 offers a solution to
a problem of years standing, and which
has furnished a subject Of contention be-
tween the fishermen of the town and the
summer residents. The fishermen have
been for years contending for the aboli-
ton Of the dixie in the harbor, which
they claimed destroyed the place as a
fishing port. The bill comes from the
committee by a unanimous vote, and
will probably go through without much
opposition.

Among the bills engrossed was one

The Washburn-Burns Company opened a

night, presenting the latest melodramatic
creation by Frank Harvey, entitled The
Land of the Living" The play is strong
one, full of stirring incident and dramatic
surprises, as may be seen from the brief
synopsis of the plot.
Gerald Arkwright is fraudulentiy ruined
by his partner, Reuben Tredgold,. who
was a rival for the hand of Geralds Wife
Tredgold fees to South Africa, to which
country also comes Gerald, trying TO fe-
trieve his lost fortunes. After lapse OF

Tredgolds S wife, turns her attention 10
Gerald and nurses him back to life, but his
reason is gone. BY hook or crook the de-
frauded pair get back to England where
they meet Tredgold on London Bridge. The
meeting restores Geralds reason Ihe VII

both, which is foiled by Meg's pluck, and
she again rescues Gerald and brings him

The scenery was effective, notably re-

Mr.. JoHNsoN's BILL.
Hearing on Measure Relative to verdicts
BY Jures.

Boston, March 21.-The house commit
tee on the judiciary gave hearing to
Representative Johnson Of Worcester, in
support of a bill to provide that in all
trials by jury in civil causes in the su-
preme and the superior courts, the
agreement Of 10 jurors shall be sufficient
to authorize a verdict, and verdict so
rendered shall have the same force and
effect as unanimous verdict now has
Mr.. johnson said he thought it would
be a good thing to have the law so
amended. 1t was in line with common
sense.
Mr.. johnson said he had talked with
some of the lawyers, and had found that
these favored the change; but he ad-
mitted that the bar associations were
the most conservative forces of society,
and would not lightly advocate change
in law.
There was no opposition to the bill.
