The Bucket Shop rIan skips Away

Newport News, Va, March 3D.
Henry F. Atherton, who for the
past three months has been the
local agent of the Vermont Ma
tional Life Insurance Company
and has been conducting a stock
brokers' bucket shop in the nIlsgy
Building, is missing. Mr. fFtd. H. r.
Peasants, general agent OF the
Vermont National Life Insurance
Company, arrived in the city TINS
morning to investigate the conduct
Of Anterior, 1t is learned that the
missing bucket shop broker was
sentenced to the penitentiary from
Charlottesville. Va, for giving a
check on bank in which he had
no deposit. He only served SIX
months of his sentence, however
as he succeeded in getting "a pardon
through influence.
SECURED POSITION.
Atherton secured credentials
from a number of prominent men,
among them judges and minister's
and shortly after secured the posi-,
ton with the Vermont National
Life Insurance Company. Ather-
ton left the city about two weeks
AGO very suddenly; he gave one
| firm check for $120.10, drawn on
the City Bank:
The next day he left the city,
and that very day another party
had a warrant for his arrest. but 1t
was too late, as the bird had flown.
This party, it is said, had been
dealing with Atherton in stock
transactions, and had won four or
five hundred dollars, which he was
never able to collect. When he
learned that Anterior was plan
ming to leave he had the warrant
issued, but Atherton's plans carried
too we'll. and his whereabouts are
now unknown.
The above is taken from the
Richmond Times of the Both ult.

conference will face the woman question.
Four years ago Miss Frances Willard was
elected delegate TO the general confer
ence of the Methodist church. She had
been a Methodist all her life. had worked
and talked for the church. and had given
her whole life to a cause which the church
approved She was refused seat In the
conference, after debate which occa-
stoned a tremendous stir in the church.
At this conference two or three women
will ask TO come in as provisional dele
gates. Managers of the equal lay repre-
sentation campaign are especially desr-
Gus that the woman question be kept In
the background. because part of the OPP
position 10 the laymen Is based upon the
theory that equal lay representation
would mean the admission Of women 10
the conference.
A contest probably will also come up
over the election of the book agents who
control the publishing interests OF the
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1900-04-29

Two new bishops, and perhaps four, win
be elected. Although 1t is estimated that
on the first ballot no less than thirty
prominent Methodist preachers will be
voted for to fill this high position, there
Is practical agreement that four men
have strong lead as candidates. No one
VIII presume to say that they will be
elected, but any Methodist preacher IL
asked to say who stood the best chance
of election, would name these four men.
The first on the list is the Rev. DIR.
Joseph ". Berry, of Chicago, the editor
from Its beginning of the Epworth Her
aid. the organ of the National Epworth
League. DR.. Berry was born at Aylmer.
Canada, May 10. 1856, Joined the church
at Port Huron. Mich, 1871, and became a
member OF the Detroit conference in 1874.
He was associate editor OF the Michigan
Christian Advocate from 1856 to 1890, and
was delegate to the general conference
in 1892 and 1896. DIR. Berry is regarded as
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1900-04-29

gate to the general conference In 1896. He
stands just as high as the other three
men, and Is regarded as an equally
strong candidate.
Other prominent candidates are Dr.
Charles J. Little, president of Garrett
Biblical Institute, Evanston; DR.. Frank
Bristol, President McKinley's pastor at
Washington, formerly OF Evanston. and
DIR. Henry Spellmeyer. Newark. N. J.
All of the candidates are conducting
themselves, on the surface at least. with
tho modesty and decorum that are be-
coming in a race for a sacred office. But
every one in the church knows that there
is a contest on, and that the fight Will
wax hotter and hotter until the last bal
lot is cast

In addition to the lay representation
question there is a possibility that the

ton had been sent around to all the an

preachers to /. Judge Horton. William
Deering, J. b. Hobbs and other prominent
Chicago laymen organized TO secure re-
vision. They began a campaign of print,
issuing letters, pamphlets, petitions and
sending them to every Methodist minister
in the United States. Forty thousand let
tiers were sent out from Judge Horizons

of the association. In the spring of 1898
the annual conferences reconsidered the

and voted for it to /.
1T was the first time the laymen them
selves had ever asked for equal repre-

once and almost unanimously vote to give
up half of their authority"
