METHODIST
CONFERENCE.
Many Secretaries Chosen
-=Report Of Committee
On AmusementS.

CHICAGO. May 26.-With but four
exceptions the Methodist general confer
ence yesterday elected to serve during the
next quadrennal all the secretaries and
assistant secretaries of the church benev
oicnces and the editors of the various Of
fetal church publications, present officers
being in most instances reelected. The
exceptions were one secretary Of the
f'rccdmau's Aid and Southern Education
al society. the assistant secretary of the
Missionary society and editors of The
Central and Western Christian Advo-
Gates.
The conference also took upl for final
disposition tho report of the committee
on the state of the church in regard to
the attitude of the Methodist church on
card playing, theater going and other at
present prohibited amuscments, and the
prospects appear favorable for an OK
cecdnsly lively debate before it is finally
disposed of.
The majority report, as presented by
ex-Goyelnor Pattison of Pennsylvania,
favors the removal from the penal code
OF the book of discipline of tie matter
bearing on this subject and placing it in
the advisory. The minority report favors
no action. Many of the dcbuters Of the
great Methodist body have announced
their intention of speaking on the subject.

A BRITISH
COLONY.
One Thousand Acres Pur-
chased On Long Island
For Settlement.

NEW YORK, May 2G.- Negotiations
have been carried on between several
wealthy Englishmen and Long Island
real estate men for some time with II
view to forming an English colony on
Long Island similar to the Rugby set
tleinent in Tennessef. Joseph c. W.
Willis of London and Endcrby Dunsford
Of Torquay, Devonshire, are said TO be
the prime movers in the scheme. They
have recently closed II contract with
Charles Il. Smith Of st. James for the
purchase of 1000 acres of land on Long
Island for $4,000. securing the property
in the interest of about 20 wealthy young
Englishmen, who intend forming II colo,
ny at this place for the purpose of car
rying on scientific farming.
The colony will be run on Il syndicate
plan as far as the earnings are concern.
cd. The settlement will only be open to
bachelors, at least until the venture has
passed the. experimental stage.
Mr.. Willis was at one time actively en-
gagged in farming speculation in Cana
da. He was also owner of one of the
largest sheep ranches in Australia.

TARDY WILL
CONTEST.
Mrs. Tousey Who Gave
Away a Million Claim
ed To Have Been
Insane.

NEW YORK, May GA year after
its admission to probate the will of Mary
Beach Tousey, leaving upward of ST.
100000 to churches and charity, has
been attacked on the ground of fraud.
Notice Of contest was filed by Mrs. sarah
b. Rohrer, the nearest living relative OF
Miss Beach, who now claims the mll'
lion.
1t was through the action of the coun-
sci for the will that Mrs. Rohrer first
learned about the document and took
steps to contest it. These attorneys dis
covered few weeks ago that they had
neglected to serve notice upon the heirs
at law before having the will probated.
They hastened to repair this error and
wrote to Mrs Rohrer citing her to show
cause before the surrogate why the will
should not be probated.
Mrs. Rohrer, who lives at Council
Bluffs, In.. at once instituted an investi'
CATION. She engaged ex-Judge George
NJ. Curtis to fight the will.
Mary Beach Tonsey was over 20 years
old when she died. She inherited the
principal part of her fortune from Sin.
clair Touscy, the millionaire founder OF
the American News company. Her will,
filed for probate just after her death in
March, 1899, left the bulk of her estate
TO the Domestic and Foreign Missionary
society of the Methodist Episcopal
church, to be equally divided among the
Frecdmans missions, Indian missions
domestic missions and foreign missions.
