A tremendous sensation has been
kicked up in southern religious cir
cles by the charge Of Mrs. William H.
FELTON,, wife Of ex-Congressman Eel
ton, Cthat the s2sS,OOO rec emily
awarded to Southern Methodists by

to be paid to lobbyists, and that on
this assumption the appropriation
was made. Mrs. FELTON, declares that
subsequently, according to previous
agreement, 35 per cent, or s1OO, 900 wa:
given to lobbyists, that Major E. b
Stahlman of Nashville, received a
large sum for his services, There is
talk of returning the entire sum tC
