"oLD METHoD1sM AND THE VIEW.
Subject of a Powerful Address by tho
Rev. DIR. WEIGH Mt the Epworth Mis-
sion Meeting.

The first quarterly meeting of the
City Epworth union was held in the
parlors Of the Epworth M. e. church
last evening. Reports of the work &C.
complished during the last three
months were read by the second, third
and fourth vice presidents. The reports
showed a large number of social and
sick calls to have been made by the
| different committees, and a large guam
| tity Of clothing and eatables to have
been furnished to the poor. On the con-
clusion of the reading of the reports an
address was listened to by the members
from the Rev. DIR. Welch of Middle
town, Conn. His subject was 1.-THE Old
Methodism and the New and was list
ened to with rapt attention by the au-
dience The speaker prefaced his ad-
dress by giving a short sketch of the
origin of Methodism in Oxford college,
| and the reasons why it later became
such a religious force. From that he
led up to the Methodism of the present
time, and in an earnest manner exhort-
ed his hearers not to let it degenerate
from it's principles of conception.
He said: THE Methodism of to-day
must be progressive; it must not for
one moment rest OF remain passive; it
must be continually on the foreward
march. The Methodist church must
also be church for rich and poor, it
must retain the principles which that
magnificent man, John Wesley, laid
down for it. When Methodist church
becomes the church Of the rich man,
when one or two men can say that the
church is dependent on them, then has
the day of that church come, and there
after its decline will be rapid. l know
Of one church where some poor children
told that they had better 60 to some
other but that church did not last long
before it was in state of dissension,
so that it had to be entirely reorganized.
The great principles of our church were
laid down by John Wesley and those
principles are to-day just as strong as
ever" In closing the speaker said:
THE Methodist faith Is not one to be
cast aside like burnt out candle: 1t
must never burn out, but be always
shining light and the beacon OF hope
for it's members"
Many of the members present at last
evenings conference will attend the
conference Of the district EDworth I'M
ions to be held at Middletown Tuesday
and Wednesday.

al batch of bills. Health Officer Wright

ed that the appropriation of $500 made
to the department of health for the care
Of contagious diseases would be made
quate to meet the demands on that ac-
count made for the care of the two
cases of smallpox now at Springside
cottage DR.. Wright estimated that the
total cost of caring for the two cases
would be something over $500. The
board informally discussed the matter
and decided that the bills for the cases
could be taken care of from the coutin-
gent account as they were presented,
although the contingent account was
pared down very closely when the APP
preparations were made. One bill of $50
for nursing was presented last night
and signed.
The two patients, Mrs. Kiehl and Mrs
Schroeder, are rapidly improving, and
will probably be discharged in about

NIGHT.
! Of 1.-THE Telephone Girl which will
be given tonight at the Hyperion and
for which there has been a big sale of
seats the Hartford Times of Thursday
says: 1.-THE Telephone Girl and all the
other girls of Central, with the inspector
and friends of the girls returned to
Hartford Tuesday night and showed
how they had improved in play, as well
as other ways, since their appearance
here before the opening in New York
city. The reception was most enthu-
siastic, Parsons theater being filled
from orchestra to gallery. Louis Mann
as Hans Nix the inspector Of tele-
phone, has part well fitted to his tai
ents as a German comedian, and his
seriousness throughout the many funny
complications is bit Of genuine acting.
Every user Of the telephone enjoyed his
talk with the prison warden and the
difficulties of conversation by wire.
Miss Clara Lipman is very clever in her
role of "Estelle," the Queen of the
Telephone" and her Disguise as the
French maid. The story is from the
French, and it is in the second act that
the danger line is neared. Miss Lipman
entered into the true Interpretation Of
the role. and yet the situations are
gradually presented. The support is
excellent, Joseph c. Fal, William T.
Terriss, James F. Mcdonald and Ben
T. Dillon each filling his role credit
ably and singing to good effect. Miss
Rose Braham is very pretty as Beauty
Fairfax" The chorus, composed who'll
ly Of female voices, Is strong and tune
full. During the action Of the play Miss
Lille Collins gives an exhibition Of toe
dancing, and Miss Mary Post and Miss
Augusta Bertrand sings a coon song.
There is a patriotic finale, the entire
company being grouped in front of a
large flag bearing O. portrait of Admiral
Dewey, and amid the waving Of flags

1t seems pretty clear that the Filipino
Insurgents have neither taken to the
mountains nor had any serious discussions
among themselves. They are apparently
still hanging about Manila in large force
ready to take advantage of any favorable
opportunity to cut of small bodies of oUr
forces, though they no longer show any
disposition TO attack in force. During
the fire in Manila, they Were very active,
and considerable band actually forced
their way into the city. The lesson Gen.
Otis administered to them two weeks ago
Is not enough. They must be pursued
and thoroughly routed before the situa-
tion wall 10 much improved. This can't
be done safely until reinforcements arrive
and then it may be too late on account of
the rainy season which, it is generally
admitted, forms an insurmountable OBJ
stacle to campaigning by foreign troops.
Evidently we have an arduous and per-
picking task on our hands. Doubtless
eventually we shall accomplish it, but
not we fear, without great loss OF life and
heavy expenditure. But, as We said the
other day, we are in it, and there seems
to be no way but to fight it out Yet
the situation that We have got to face
ought TO have very SOLDERING effect upon
our people. What the most of them
thought willis ago was to be sort of
triumphal entry with colors living and
brass band playing is turning out a most
desperate struggle. marked by widespread
desolation and death.
