ADDRESSES BY DELEGATES.
Chief Justice Lore and Presiding Elder
Watt Speak at Grace Church.

Chief Justice Lore and Presiding Elder
Watt Speak at Grace Church.
At Grace Church Friday night Chief
Justice Lore and Presiding Elder Watt
made addresses ON the General Confer
ence, to which they were delegates.
Speaking OF the work Of the body,
Chief Justice Lore said 1t was perfectly
systematized and conducted with the
greatest ability. On somo of the commit
tees it was interesting to meet the men
who were members of them. On thu COM
mittee on judiciary, of which he was
chairman, the Chief Justice said there
were II as keen, able and saeacious men
as could be found in any community.
Tho same was true of the. other COM
mittees. He spoke OF the great adj
Vancement in the church since 1874, and
said IL the conference meets with the
hearty corporation of the people IL
will heal all the wounds of the past.
The great questions that cane before
the conference = the admission of
women, amusements and tho time
limit were discussed. Regarding
amusements he said during the dis
cussion all were standing and all were
talking at the same timo. Had the
voices of all been concentrated he said,
the sound could have been heard IS
miles across LIKE Michigan. He voted
against section 248 Of the Discipline,
which refers to sinful amusements,
which, he said was dead letter and
simply burlesgue upon Christianity.
Broader, wider and sweeter than all
else that was done was that all the
wounds caused by the war between the
North and South were healed. During
the late war with Spain, Wilson of
Delaware and Wheeler of Alabama
stood facing Mauser bullets under the
same banner. Measures which settled
the differences between the churches OF
the No,th and those OF the South were
adopted in the closing hours OF the con-
ference. This marks the beginning of
the end and the time will soon come
whsE the 100000 Methodists of the
country will be Joined together in one
organization
Presiding Elder Watt said very little
change was made in the Discipline. He
voted to retain section 2iS. Up to the
time OF the conference the Methodist
church had worked in its baby clothes
on 20 years. DIR. Watt has no fear Of
tne arbitrament of the future. The
conference was made up of men deter
mined to do right and who could not
be influenced either by craftsmanship or
politics. fr. Watt thinks he was a
member of the greatest General Confer
enco in the history of Methodism.

U. OF P. FOOTBALL.
Schedule Arranged for the Season Begin
ming September goth.

Schedule Arranged for the Season Begin
ming September goth.
The football schedule for 1900 has
ceen completed and University of
Pennsy lvania will have many hard
games. Many changes are noticeable.
The most important one is that Miohi-
gan, Wesleyan, Virginia. and Bucknell
have been dropped and in their stead
Columbia, United States Naval Cadets,
Dickinson, and Haverford have been
taken on. The game with the Indians
has been put a month later In the
season in order that the Quakers1 may
be IN good shape for the game. The
reason for dropping the Michigan game
WAS that the Westerners demanded
return game each alternate year to be
played in Detroit. This Pennsylvania
was unwilling to agree to, for financial
reasons, SO that the game has been
dropped and Columbia taken on in
stead. The student body is much graft
fed at the renewal of athletic relations
between Penn and the Naval Cadets.
Nothing definite has yet boon an
nounced .concerning preliminary prac-
tice. but it is understood that this will
be taken at Eaglesmere, Pa, where
the team went three years ago. This
will probably last about three weeks
The first practice game will be with
Bucknell on the way back to Philadel-
phia from Eaglesmere. Coach Wood
ruff has now abandoned spring practice
on account Of the hot weather. The
schedule is as follows: .-
Saturday, September 29th--Lehlgh,
at franklin Field.
Wednesday, October 3d-Franlslin
and Marshall, at franklin Field.
Saturday, October 6th-Haverfcrd,

MEETING OF GLASS MAKERS.

Agreement Between the Trust and the
Workers Association.
John Kennedy of Third and Lombard
streets has returned from Pittsburg,
Pa, where he attended the conference
of the trust, known as the American
Window Glass Co., and the Window
Glass Workers Association. The con-
ference continued for two weeks and
matters important to glass men all over
the country were arranged. This is the
second time that the association has
dealt with the trust. Mr.. Kennedy
said Friday night the members of the
union were pleased, with the result.
The workmen in the Western States
receive raise of wages, but the en-
ployes in the East did not get an in
crease. They, with the Western men,
work for seven months in the year with
the option Of working 10. The wage
scale will be the same. The men in
this city employed by the Christiana
Window Glass Co., which is not in the
trust, work nine months in the year.
According to the agreement made
between the members Of the uninn
and the committee representing the
officials Of the trust, the glass furnaces
will staff on September LIST. This Is
unusually early and will shut off 260, 600
boxes of glass which would have been
imported to this country. This means
that all this glass will be manufactured
by American workingmen. In the West
the winow glass workers will get an
increase of about 3 ITO cents on the
dollar. The Eastern men will be bene-
flied by receiving the additional work.
In this city the condition of the men
has been good. and they will work as
they have heretofore. Ten delegates
from Indiana, New York, Peppsyi-
vania, New Jersey and Delaware com.
piised the committee of the glass
workers.
Mr.. Kennedy, who arrived home Friday
night received telegram shortly after
reaching Wilmington, saying every
question had been settled satisfactorily.
A few matters had not been definitely
settled upon when he left Pittsburg.
Tho workmen also made some con-
cessions to the employers, which will
help make the coming season profitable

To Exterminate Ground Hogs.

For months Winfield Webster OF
Romarsville, Pa, has been puzzled as
to the best means to rid his premises
of groundhogs, which, no says, have
become a nuisance because of their
number and impudence. Recently no

to blow the festive marmots from the
earth. He has tried shooting, but that
liz too slow a process. Large charges
of dynamite will be placed in the holes
in the hillsides, which are occupied by
them and then exploded. Tie con-
cussion is expected to kill every
grounding in the holes in which the
charge has been set, and be will keep
up the work until the animals are ex-
terminated il it takes him all summer

TWO BOYS DROWNED.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 1.-Two
brothers, sons of Lewis johnson. were
drowned, while third narrowly
escaped death, in the lake at Storm
vile, Duchess county, yesterday.
The boys, whose ages were s, 10 and
IL years, got into rowboat, in which
they drifted out on the lake. There
were no oars in the boat; and when tine
boys wanted to return to shore, they
were unable tc navigate the boat.
Thinking that the water was shallow
enough TO wade ashore, they all jumped
out of the boat, only to find they were
beyond their depth. Only the eldest
brother could swim, and it was all that
he could do to reach shore. The other
boys were drowned.
