Among the addresses delivered at the Mis-
souri, Conference of the A. NJ. K. Church
yesterday was one by Rabbi Welscher,
formerly Of Mississippi. but now a resident
of this city. He spoke in complimentary
terms of the conference and said he ap-
proved the plan Of fining the tardy preach
ers 10 cents yesterday morning. He said
that one great trouble with the colored man
was that a nickel is too likely TO burn In
his pockets Rev. Alexander Walters, as
socate bishop of the conference, responded
to Rabbi Wescher. There was an address
by Professor Van Cleave, principal OF the
eolored schools at Bardstown, KY. one by
Mrs Annie c. Tucker. matron OF Living
ston College, at Salisbury, N C., another
by Mrs. Washington, vice president OF the
Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary So
ciety Of the Kentucky Conference, and talks

OF the Kentucky Conference, and DIR. E. H.
Curry, of Cincinnati

ing for general officer in this district. The

pastors of the districts comprising this con-
ference read their reports, showing an i'm
proved financial condition of the different
funds. w. II. Goler. d. D., president of

NOW OF SOUND MIND.
Claim for Cora Suing, Who Is Engaged
to he Married.

Probate Commissioner Walker yesterday
heard evidence on a petition to have Cora
Suing declared of sound mind. The woman
was adjudged of unsound mind tive or three
years ago and the Indiana Trust Company
was appointed her guardian. The company
has about 5000 belonging TO her. The fact
developed yesterday that the woman is
about to be married. She is engaged to a
German gardener named Kfefer. 1t also de-
veloped that Kiefer is relying on the money
he will have the use of as result of this
marriage TO pay off debt on some land
he recently bought near the city. he paid
$500 or $500 cash and gave mortgage on the
land.
Judge Walker took the case under ad-
visement. He said he would probably not
give a decision until Kiefer and the woman
are ready TO marry. When II is known
positively that they are TO be married and
the date is set the court will probably va
cate the guardianship. The trust company
will then pay off the mortgage on Kiefers
land out of their wards money and have a
deed to the land made Jointly 10 Kiefer and
his wife. This action will be taken In order
to protect Mrs. Kiefer's interests. The
woman is about thirty years old. Those
who filed the petition for her say she is now
In fit mental condition TO look after her
own affairs
