The District Conference of the M.
E. Church, South, convened in Summit
on May 2G, and closed on the %. AS
"Uncle Bob" was present on Saturday
only, he will report only few general
occurrences of that happy occasion.
As far as could be learned, some
spiritual advancement was reported
from nearly every point.
Reports from Sunday Schools show
ed that this important work is improv-
ing in every line.
The licenses of all the local preach
ers in the district we're renewed, and
these laborers we're assured that the
local Methodist preacher is an impor-
tant factor in the Methodist ministry.
A sermon of much spiritual power
was preached at IL o'clock by Rev. II.
ID. Howell, and one very instructive
and entertaining was preached at
night by Rev. j. A. Moore.
Rev. j. NJ. Weems, who was presiding
elder of the Brookhaven district about
0 years, and since until this year has
been in other parts of Mississippi, said
that on his return he had found that
the country had improved faster in
this district than anywhere he has been.
As the Baptists of Summit very
kindly offered the use of their church
to the Methodists during the con-
ference, announcements were made
for religious services in the Baptist
and Methodist churches for Sunday.
A vote of thanks was rendered the
people of Summit for their generous
hospitality and to the /. G. r. r. Co.
for reduced rates to members and del
egates.
Brookhayen was chosen as the place
for holding the next district Confer
ence. .UNcLE Boz"

were as comfortable and fitted as
we'll as the shoes she had paid S3

If You Would be Happy.

Keep your temper. Gam a little
knowledge every day. Make few
promises, and speak the trnth.
Give full measure, and weigh with
a lust balance. Consent to common
custom, but not to common folly.
Be cautious of believing i'll, but
more cautious of reporting it.
Have courage to wear your Old
clothes until you can pay for new
ones. Think of heaven with hearty
purpose and strong hope to get
there. Do good to all, that you
may keep your friends and gain
your enemies. Count your re-
sources, find out what you are not
fit for, and give up wishing for If.

There is a Moro Castle at Ha-
vana and one at San Juan, Porto
Rico. Many persons are curious
to know why the Spaniards have
these two castles OF the same name,
says the Atlanta Journal, The
word MORO in Spanish means
promontory, and these castles are
so named because they are perched
upon commanding elevations in
the two cities.

DR.. j. w. ProvIne has resigned
the presidency of Mississippi Col
lege, to take effect at the close of
the present term. When DIR. Pro
vine accepted the position it was
for one year only. His resignation
will not sever his connection with
the institution, as he will retain his
professorship of the sciences. The
desire to devote more time to this
branch was what induced him TO
give up the former honorary posi-,
ton he held. His successor will
probably be selected at the next

saying:
"For twenty-eight years We have lived
under contradiction. The army and the

the safety OF the country and its most

In the senate this afternoon, in reply
to a request that he would clarity his
speech made in the chamber OF deputies
in answer to the interpretations as 10 the
Picquart court-martial and the. Dreyfus
affair, NJ. Dupuy. the premier, said:
THE speech was clear enough. The
powers OF the court of cessation are IN
limited and all necessary documents will
be communicated TO the court. The best
way of restoring peace is to leave matters
in the hands OF the judiciary"
The senate then adjourned.

PICQUART EXCITEMENT ABATES.
There is a pause in the Picquart excite
ment. The threatened interpretations in
the senate and the recently displayed en-
thusiasm of senators on Colonel Picquart's
behalf have fzzled out; first, because it
was foreseen that all this would have the
same result as debate in the chamber, and
second, because it is regarded as certain
that some means would be found to DELAY
the Picquart court-martial until the court
OF cessation has given a decision in the

SICK MEN MADE TO WORK
Fever Patients Begging for
Water Told to "Shut Up"

Boston, Mass, Nov. 2e.-The war inves-
tigation commission began its hearing il
Boston today, all the members being pres
emit except Colonel DENLY. Colonel Nc
Cook acted as president
Leonard ". Johnson of North Cam
bridge, a contract nurse, was the first
witness.
His testimony bore on the trea tment OF
Berlin, by which steamer he returned
from Ponce. Porto Rico. johnson testi-
fed that no one was taken on board the
| City of Berlin who was not able to take
care of himself, but in spite of that he
and Mr.. Sauierson were ordered to look
after twelve men who were sick. His or
ders were to ketp all at work, the penalty
being that themselves as well as the de-
! linquents should be placed in irons. The
witness said that though he was sick he
was obliged to attend to others night and
day.
DR.. Bracket, of the Massachusetts Vol
unteer Aid association, thought that there
were medicines enough on the Seguranca.
There were, however, almost no prepared
foods of any kind for convaleseents. He
and Captain McCook bought supplies
from the ships steward and gave them
to the men. There was ice on board, to
be had once a day by paying for it.
Dr. Richard Cabot Of Boston declared
that the hospitals in Porto Rico were adj
mirable
Corporal William Kenilds, Seventh in
faatry, testified to being wounded in three
places in the battle of FL Caney. He re-
manned under tree. and it was two days
before ne was discovered. Eight days
afterward he went aboard the steamer
Olivette He did not get his wounds
dressed until he reached Long Island.
PPrivate B. F. Houston. Seventh in
fantry, who was wounded in the action at
FL Caney, told of his experiences in a hos
pital at Siboney. He said that when the
wounds came TO be dressed it was found
that che primary bandages had been lost
He said that in the general hospital at
Siboney the wounded men suffered ex-
tremely. They suffered on the way owing
to the springIesS wagons having no straw
in the bottoms. In the hospital the great
est difficulty was in getting food of a
proper nature for men in their condition.
The only food issued was the canned beef
and tomatoes. These were issued as ra-
tons, but delicacies and oranges had to
be purchased. He described visit of
Miss Mills and an unpleasant controversy
between her and the doctor, after which
the men had better treatment. Witness
testified to hearing the men call out for
water and hearing the nursts in adjacent
tents shout "Shut up for reply. One of
the wounded died after calling for water
in this way He added that after being
ten DAYS at Silooney he went on board tht
City of Washington, and was there
treated very well. The opportunities for
surgical attendance on the vessel were
excellent.
The board adjourned until $50 O'Clock
tomorrow morning.
