Minnesota Delegates to the Metho-

church to be held at Chicago in May
OF. next years met at the Windsor hotel
yesterday. Revolt G. Jennings acted as
efairmanJ,. and. w. H. H.. Johnstone, of
StYPaul, as secretary. Contrary to former
custom, selections for the standing COM
n1ittees will be made by. the state dele
cations previous to the time, of holding
the convention. The meeting of yesterday
was largely for the purpose of making
such selections. -ys hrs W -.~g

Perhaps the most important matter to
come before the Chicago conference will
be the charges involving Dr., Sehell,r Sec
rotary Of the Epworth league, and DR..
Curtis of the book concern. Several of
the state conferences have taken action
upon this matter, and the general con-
ference is expected to investigate the al
legged irregularities and take action that
will finally settle the controversy. Other
matters to come before the general con-
ference will be the question whether pre-
siding elders shall be appointed Or elected; :
the matter of itinerary and the question
of aholishing a period of probation for
new members Of the church. The period
during which a pastor may remain with
one church has been extended from three
to five years. Now there is a divided
sentiment, some favoring abolishing the
limit entirely and others thinking IT
should be again fixed at three years.

night at their bazaar which is being held

The Morgan orchestra furnished a mu-

yelled the FUTURE was novel attraction
and gathered a throng of young ladies.
All the little girls were wild with ex-
element over a drawing on a beautiful
doll, and the contest for a suit of clothes
for the most popular little boy was fierce
ly fought. A football and pair Of skates
caused other contests among the juve-
niles.
The bazaar will close this evening and
there is every prospect that it will net
st. MichaePs parish about $4,000. Sew
eral interesting contests are to be de-
cided, among them a vote for the most
popular housekeeper in the parish in
which Mrs. c.. Regain and Mrs Philip

SUNNY SIDE OF LIFE.
1t Is Viewed by Dr% HedIey in an
Entertaining Lecture

DR.. James Hedtey entertained a large
audience at the Peoples church last
evening with his lecture on "The Sunny
Side of Life as the third of the Y NJ
c. A. winter series.
The discourse was replete with apt com
parison ard pungent sayings, and won
frequent and cordial applause from the
audience. He depicted mans nature as
distinctively blissful, happy and bucyant,
kat nodded according to whatever the
posSessor pleased to make Of it.
The man who does not laugh is sad
man and oftentimes a mad man" said
the speaker.
Distinction should be made between wit
and humor. DR.. Hedley said he never
knew witty man with happy or genial
nature. People were prone to confuse
wit withshun1or. Wit was intended to
wound, it parted friends, and always was
enjoyed at the expense of another.
Don't take too much pains to he witty
as it is liable 4toseqNse pain toTserae one"
said he.
he was not in sympathy with the doleful
side of life. Poor old John Dismal went
to church occasionally to get a little re-
spectacle gladness, but that type CT a
frequently of the skIndint type. The
speaker very charitably refused to as
sign him.to any denomination. - :
He characterized each denomination as
a railroad to heaven with a terminal in
Gods union depot. Every man had his
choice of{road. IN fact he did rot hold
in esteem the man who had no creed. He
would not, he said, attempt to point out
which was the best train to take.

Fred F. Guion was formally arraigned
In municipal court yesterday for the MUIR
der of James Miller. He was represented
by John H. Ives, and on his advice en-
tered a plea of not guilty. The prelim-
mary examination was set for next
Thursday. County Attorney Bigelow ex-
poets before that time to present the
case to the grand jury.
Before the bar Guion seemed somewhat
anxious. He resolutely refuses to be in
terviewed. All inquiries are referred to
Attorney Ives. He seems to realize the
fierce fight which will be made for his
conviction and is evidently determined
to give no advantage
