CHICAGO, May 2s.-The twenty-thlrd
delegated quadrennlal conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church came to an
end to-day. after a session Of four
weeks. The conference Is considered to
have been one Of the most noteworthy
since the days when MethodiBm was
divided over the slavery question, and
has resulted in many radical changes In
the laws and polity OF the church. The
conference was the largest IA 1.-THE his
Tory OF the church, and It's sessions were
attended by thousands.
Abolition Of Time Limit.
Principal among the important ac-
tons of the conference were the aboli-
uon Of the time lint on pastorates; the
ratification OF the eaual-representation
amendment as proposed by the Rock
River conference. together With the
seating of the provisional lay delegates;
the adoption of a new constitution sub
feet to approval Of the various annual
conferences, including the substitution
OF the words ''lay members" for the
term clay men,, thus permitting the
seating of women in the general confer
cnce: and the elction OF two additional
missionary bishops. There was huge
amount of routine business which was
practically settled In committee.
Laymen Have Equal Representation.
The first day of the conference, May
., saw laymen and preachers given
equal representation. UnderSt the belief
that this would be done. provisional del
cgates were on hand and were, follow
ing this action, admitted as regular lay
delegates making the 1900 conference
the largest gifts kind in the history of
the church.
OF great interest to Methodists was
the abolition, total and unconditional,
of the five year limit on rastorates.
One thing the conference did not do,
was to modify paragraph 24s of the Dis
cipllne. which, among other things for
bids attendance upon theatres. clrcuses
and dancing.

Several incidents helped professional
traders in putting up prices OF stocks
to-day. A selling movement in the last
fifteen minutes of trading, however,
made some wide breaches in values and
the closing was rather weak but with
net gains saved for the majority Of
stocks. Sugar continued to occupy a
preponderatlng share OF attention. A
further advance OF ten cents per hun
bred pounds In the price OF refined su.
gar was the occasion OF the strength
in the stock. The American company
led In the advance and It's competitors
in the trade quickly followed. Wall
street gave much attention to the
movements OF representatives OF the
various companies as bearing on the
problem whether the rival interests
had or had not come to an agreement

moderate price movement in the stock

that short interest had been largely
eliminated. After advancing something
over two points, pront-tntlng turned
the price backwards. London bought

demand for that account. This buying

Franklin nodded assent. Herbert
had lived 80 years In the world, with
Bohemia as abiding place for most of
his adult term. and had proved a de-
lightful companion and fount of inspira-
ton to the young American. Franklin
was fond of the same effects in litera-
ture-his line-which his Celtic friend
secured with an indolent but facile
brush. Herbert knew Paris from the
towers Of Notre Dame to the debouche-
ment Of the sewers and had friends In
the Faubourg as well as at the Cha
teau Rouge.
He seated himself comfortably In his
chair and went on, rolling out the
phrases unctuously with his rich
brogue:
