SUCCESSOR To
DIR. VANDERSLICE.
The Official Board of Deacons and
Elders Confer
AND DISCUSS THE MATTER.
The Baltimore Conference May BE
Called Upon as No One in This Con-
ference Seems AvaiIable-An
Important Station.

The quarterly conference of the official
board Of deacons and elders OF Union
station Methodist church was held at the
church last night with a full attendance.
Presiding Elder \. G. Brown was pres
ent. and the most important topic dis
cussed was that OF a new minister for
Union-Station to fiji the vacancy left
by the death Of Rev. DIR. George G. Van
derslice.
IMPORTANT STATION.
The meeting was not a public one, but
DIR. Brown told Times reporter that
nothing whatever had been determined
on as TO what action would be taken In
reference to supplying the vacancy.
This is an important station said the
Doctor. and the selection Of man TO
take charge Of II will he the result OF
profound deliberation on the part Of the
Bishop. the presiding elder and the ofhcial
board"
Several OF the deacons and elders OK
pressed IL az their opinion that. In view
Of the church being such large one.
and so influential. that man OF eXper-
fence should and would be selected. and
they also thought that such man was
not at this time available in this con-
ference.
MAY co OUTSIDE.
This being q fact. the natural infer
ence TO ne drawn Is that some eXperienc-
ed minister outside Of this conference will
be stationed at Union-Station until the
next annual conference at least.
In the meantime. however. the mem
bers Of Union-Staton church Will not
want for spiritual teaching, for the pull
nit will be dlled each Sunday until

known divines OF Richmond.

BALTIMORE CONFERENCE.
The baltimore conference is now in ses-
sion at Hinton W. Va. and 1t is not al
together improbable that that conference
may volunteer 20 help the Virginia con-
ference in filling the Union-Station pulpit
although Presiding Elder Brown said last
night that no movement had been maze
along that line.
Mr.. Ed. Lafferty left for Hinton yester-
dav afternoon, and it is thought that
ne NAV be going there on business in con-
nection with the vacancy 10 - filled.
Presiding Elder Brown may also be
called 10 Hinton before the conference
adjourns.

Mr.. LYMAN B. Gage is the latest con-
vert TO the doctrine of international bi-
metallism That is. he says so. Ordi-
narily we should not be inclined to
doubt his susceptibility to conversion
in amy given direction. He may be said
to have professional character in that
respect.
After becoming Secretary of the
Treasury, Mr.. Gage experienced new

when he joined the Republican party
and the Mckinley Cabinet, and repre-
sented to Congress that the necessity of
the hour demanded the final and ire

upon the country.
AT this particular time his mind and
conscience must be conceded to have
been tuned up to the thing he cham
pioned. With all the force of his ge
MUS, supported by the influence and
friends of Marcus AlonZo Hanna, he
worked, and worked successfully. to

We pause in our remarks of adula-
tion to observe that this is probably
true. Neither of the distinguished
characters mentioned is at any time
