Continued from First Page
basis of one delegate for every forty
five ministers and since 1872 there
has been two lay delegates from each
conference but only one if there was
only one ministerial delegate.
Hereafter the number is to be
equal. This conference has delegates
from nearly every state and territory
in the United States and from India,
China, Japan, Italy, Siberia, Mexico,
South America, Germany, Norway,
Sweden, Switzerland, etc. There are
now over seven hundred dele
gates. AS the Auditorium seats
5000 persons within hearing of
a good voice there is plenty
of room for visitors. The best seats
sell for 80 cents each daily session and
the private boxes for $3.50 for the SEES
sion. There is also a good number of
free seats back of the reserved ones
There is always good audience pres
cnt and many visitors are in attend
ance from all parts of the world.
The early days of the conference
witness the introduction of large
number Of resolutions, petitions, me-
MORALS, ETC., which, exccpta few for
immediate passage, arc referred to
some one of the fourteen standing
committees or some special commit
tee. A full standing committee con-
sists of two members from each con-
ference making 246 members, but the
attendance is less as IN many instances
delegate may be on two or more
committees meeting ut the same hour.
One Of the fifteen active bishops pre-
sides at each session but is nota mem
Der of the conference and under no
circumstances has a vote.
Bishop Hartzell, missionary bishop
to Africa, delivered lecture Thurs
day evening, May 3, on "The Brton
and the Boer." lie has had an OPP
portunity to study the conditions and
declares the Boer government to be
oppressive and unbearable to the ma
tive people; the blacks and to the out
landers: and that they do not deserve
to succeed, though they are a brave
people. That the British govern
ment treats it's subjects fairly but the
Beers do not. His lecture gave much
light upon the conditions in South
Africa and presented the Beers in
striking contrast to our revolutionary
forefathcrs to whom they have been
likcned. L. w. HANSON.

Filed in Court.

A peculiar case was filed in Common
Pleas Court yesterday, the plaintiff be-
ing the father of the defendant, who is
a little girl only nine years of age.
The plaintiff Is Prentice e. Clark, of
this city, and the defendant, Ruth
Clark, and 1t is entitled an action to
quiet title.
In his petition the plaintiff recites
that in 1898 he conveyed by deed to
his wife a certain tract of land in the
northern part of the city, the consid-
GRAFTON named being three thousand
dollars. The petition recltes, however,
that in spite of the fact that consid-
Grafton was named, there was no con-
slderatlon, and that there was an un-
deTstanding to the effect that he
should have the use and disposal of
che property. Later the plaintiff dis
posed of part of the tract and his
wife dying suddenly in 1899, he is un-
able to give the purchaser a clear title
The plaintiff prays that a guardian
ad litem for the defendant be appoint
ed by the court and that the title to
the property be restored to him.

terror was not so we'll taken by the
Beard.

gested in the O'Neill plans and they
will be made and the plans presented

opments may be looked for

HOT AIR !.

Nay, Clarence de Montague approach

Back, back, recede more back until
most avaunted lest in my shudder-

mine hair blindeth thee for ever.
Nay, come not nigh, for now do | chaw
words and mince them not.
Thy hearts key, so oft in story men
toned, | return to thee. Thou art
false, though all men be in small,
hut fouler is thine own fault than a
foul tip to hit the catcher
For why, ah, ye wot not, so opine.
Now blow thy breath against yon
window.
Hark ye, yet thy gaze fetch near the
billion microbes that thou didst
bring forth with but a single puff Of
hot air.

Take this vial of ruby medicine, HE

what intended, haw, haw, haw, it
maketh cen my laugh coarse to be
with man of not so much as brute
conception. Thy heart canst not be
true, for liver spots do nightly be-
cloud the working of thy brain. Take
this and hence to yon castle, enter by
the door of brazen brass, seat thy
self at the first table where ye may
dine. With this taken after thy
meals, purify thyself of that air from
thy turbulent stomach by regulating
thy liver and cleansing thy blood. Take
It. for to win again my love to you it

City Council was held last evening, the
following members being present:
Blume, Curtis, DAVIS. Eveleigh, Cos
sett, Lorenz, Marsch, Storck, Strain
AS President Wood was absent, Mr.
Davis moved that Mr. Strain act as
Chairman of the meeting. The motion
carried and Mr. Strain took the chair
and presided.
Them inutes were read and approx
ed.
e. S. c. Holmboe reported that ow-
ing to the weather little work had

trio power station. The report was re-
ceived and placed on file.
W. P. Mason reported that the Pitts
burg Bridge Co. was receiving mater
ial for the Putnam street bridge and
that shop work had not yet commenc-
ed. The report was received.
Storck made a motion that the Fire
committee be instructed to purchase
a wagon for the Fire Department.
Davis objected tc the motion, as 1t
gave the committee power to act, and
he did not think it legal proceed
ing.
The City Solicitor said that the mo-
tion was proper and would stand le-
gal test, providing the amount was
named.
Storck then added to his motion that
the amount to be expended was not to
exceed $500. The motion was carried.
Buildings permits were granted to
]. Fl. Mccullough, on Second street
and also on Wayne street; two permits
were granted to Thomas Clsler, Butler
street, east of Seventh.
Blume stated that about a year ago
Council had instructed Chief Biszantz
of the Fire Department, to purchase
500 feet of hose and the city gave a
note for the payment of the bill. He
made a motion that the Clerk be in
structed to pay off the note and the
motion prevailed.
The following bills were allowed

Breckenridge's Way.

There are two ways to call man a
liar in Kentucky. One is to give the
lie direct. Another is w. p. Breckin-
ridges way as he applied it to ex-
Congressman John X. Hendrick
May it please the court" said "Wil-
lie" of the silver tongue in court one
day when Mr.. Hendrck had said
something that Breckinridge consider
ed false, 81 am far too polite, far too
considerate of the dignity of the court
and of the feelings of m ydistingulshed
brother at the bar, Judge Hendrick, to
call him a liah!" This is the way that
leads to life.-Pittsburg Times.

Mr.. Van Smith, general foreman of

Marietta Wins.

In the bowling contest at Power

team won two games out of three from
the visitors from Parkersburg. The
first and third games were closely con-

so interesting. The games began at
g.: 80 in time to allow the Parkersburg
team to catch the late Ohio River
train for home.
The score was as follows:

Col. Moore's Loss.

Another chapter in the sensational
story that Col. Moore had been robbed
of $3.50 by thief in Jacksonville, Fla,
Is that the Colonels loss amounts to
nothing, as the thief stole only some
drafts that had not been signed. So
the Colonel won't lose any of the roy
atty from those ill smelling" wells
down the river.
