Lieut.. Charles o. Pierson, in charge Of
the War Department telegraph office, has
received the following complimentary let
ter from Gen. A. w. Greedy, chief signal
officer:
I'm connection with your resignation of
your commission as second lieutenant in
the Volunteer Signal Corps, 1 desire to ex-
press my appreciation of the fidelity and
zeal with which you have performed the
important and delicate duties devolving
upon you in the War Department. It was
a source of personal well as official,
qualification to me that you personally de-
sired to serve in the Philippines, and that
you would have done so had the compensa-
ton been such as to properly care for your
family. 1t is a matter of regret that for
eign service involves such heavy pecuniary
sacrifice. and in many cases, as in Your
own, it deprfves the army of talent and ex-
perience. which would greatly add to its
efficiency in the Philippines The fact that
Col. Allen cabled asking for you is a com
pliment which is not trivial,
Wishing you success and happiness in
your return to private life. / am" etc.

low Equal Lay Representation.
| INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 27.-The
! first days session of the bishops of the
Methodist Church was taken up in the dis
| cussion of the conditions in the different
conferences.
When approached the subject of
changes in the discipline of the church and
the insertion of a law prohibiting both
dancing and theater going, Bishop Warren
said:
Nothing along this line will be done at
our meeting. AS a matter Of fact We
could not decide upon this point. The staff
of bishops of the church simply represents
the executive body, and we simply execute
the orders of the conferences.
I'm the matter of the rules of the church
do not know that any important changes
Will be made at the general conference at
Chicago, unless it will be to allow laymen
800 votes and an equal representation at the
conferences BY that 1 mean that the
change carries with it the admttance to
the conferences Of as many laymen as
churchmen.
in my mind there is little doubt that this
Will become law in the church. 1t re-
qulres a three-fOurths VOTE and l think the
sentiment of fully that number has been
expressed In favor Of the movement
The conferences, which will end tomor-
row, are strictly executive.

M1sD1RECTED HUMANE EFFORTS.
The Public should BE Protected From
Dogs.

From the Philadelphia Medical Journal.
Some of the good people Of Washington
well as of Buffalo have lately made frenZied
efforts to save dogs from the fate which
the respective authorities have decreed, ow-
ing to the existence ct rabies in those To-
calities. Mammoth petitions against indis-
criminate killing of dogs as well as the al
legged unjustihabie confinement of these ami
mails have been presented, and all kinds of
statements concerning the matter and ad-
vice as to what to do have been made A
reverend doctor offered to pay s. for every
dog released, while the Humane Society de-
scribes the scenes at the pounds as heart
rending, saying that it is all owing to a mad
dog scare.
1t would be an injUst ice to these good peo-
pie TO believe that they are ins!ncere in
their demand; they are certainly in error
regarding their statements of cruelty to ami
mails and the nonexistence of rabies in these
localities. Dogs are caught, sent to the
