The Wilmington Methodist Episco.
pal Conference, which represents Del.
aware and a portion of Maryland
adopted a resolution condemning the
army canteen and the use and sale of
liquor In the new possessions Of this
government. A resolution which con
demned President Mckinley as a
member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church for public and private tipping
precipitated a hot discussion, and Was
defeated by a vote of 81 to 43. A reso-
luton %censuring President Mckinley
for setting aside the anti canteen law,
and for drinking liquor was adopted
after the personal reference to the
Presidents drinking had been stricken
out.

The question of extending the Balti.
more and Ohio to Roanoke, is again
being agitated. As readers of the
Manufacturers Record are aware, the
railroad terminates at Lexington. I'm
der the old regime the question OF
building it to Roanoke was considered
aud a roadbed partially constructed,
but nothing further was done about
the matter. The Manufacturers
Record learns on good authority that
if the Baltimore and Ohio Can secure
q Southern connection at Roanoke it
would probably build from Lexington.
Such d connection would be offered by
the Norfolk and Westerns division
known as the Roanoke and Southern.
extending from Roanoke to Winston,
N. G. The extension from Lexington
to Roanoke would greatly increase the
business of the Valley branch of the
and Ohio. The extension
would be about As miles in length

Don't Use the whip on BaIky Horses.

Good authorities on the horse agree
that a balky horse should neve be
whipped or abused in any name One
writer says: If he won't go. let him
stand still and think it over. He will
very often think better CT it, and after
a few moments reflection, and a few
losses of his head, 60 on of his W &C
cord; or, if this does not answer. get
out of the wagon and pat him, and
talk to him kindly. Sometimes it is
well to loosen a strap or start a buckle.
l have known the mere act of un-check-
ing and re.checking the animal to an
swer the purpose, and stop a determi-
nation to resist. For this reason an
apple, or a bunch of grass from the
roadside. or a handful of oats, or q few
kernels of corn, will often accomplish
what an hours beating could never eff
feet"
Horses are sometimes supposed to
be balky when the real trouble is an
i'll fitting collar.
Do not get provoked with the horse.
The Ill IN who first spoiled him by bad
is the one to be blamed.
Another writer says: For u balky
horse tie to 81 post. Here he should be
firmly tied without embarrassing, and
left until thoroughly tired of standing.
Some teamsters start a balky horse by
taking HIM from the wagon and max
ing him turn around ia a short circle
giddy. Ii he doesn't go after the
dance, repeat it. Some drivers
take up one of the horses feet and
upon the hoof, or run q straw
or small stick inside the ear. Such ex
.periments may have the effect to turn
the current of the creatures ideas, and
cause him TO forget his way Wardness.

THE NEW PARSONAGE OF THE
 CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

During the past two months some simple yet radical changes have been made in the Congregational church, which are a great improvement.
 The pulpit alcove on the side is now closed up and the pulpit and choir platforms placed at the end of the church, the seats facing lengthwise in- stead of sideways, as heretofore. and as a result the auditorium is better for speaking and singing, and from it's re- arrangement is more beautiful and i'm pressive, and also it will be easier to heat in cold weather.
 An addition built on the southwest corner of the church-tho sunny, wind sheltered side,-in connection with what was the pulpit alcoYe and now practically utilized, gives fine suite of rooms for a parsonage. These rooms are conveniently fitted up, stained and pa pered in tasteful harmonious colors, and the pastor and his wife will be as comfortable for the winter as anyone in town
 The work has been done by Mr. Le- ander Anderson, under a committee consisting of two of the trustee, Mr. Robert J. Willis, MT. Fred W. Hoyt, and Rev. Fl. Hammond Cole.
 The parsonage all complete will only cost a moderate sum, which, as we un- derstand, will all be provided for by To- cal subscription from members of the church and congregation, and the gen erous help of some personal friends of the church and of the pastor in the states.

WILLIAM CARES.

Died, at Douglas Island, Alaska, Thursday, Oct. 18th, 1900, William CarbiS, aged 22 years of fever
 William Carbis was born in Republic, Mich, in 1878. He came to Douglas in 1898 and began work in the Mexican mine, where he has continued ever since, until about month ago, when he was taken sick. He was always cheerful and happy and full of fun and had many friends on the Island. Some, of our people have known him from childhood.
 Death is always sad but it comes doub. ly so in the case of one just on the threshold of Iife's activities, when the future contains so much of hope and promise.
 He leaves a mother, two brothers and two sisters in Michigan, whose hearts are saddened by his early death.
 The funeral was held at the Congre- gational church on Saturday, Oct. 20th, at 1:3O p. m., Pastor Cole officiating. The interment was at the Douglas City cemetery.
