Chicago, May 26.-By a close vote,
and after a debate which exceeded in
bitterness and feeling displayed any
thing yet heard during the session.
the Methodist general conference prac-
tieally decided today to make no
change in the attitude of the church
in regard to card playing. dancing,
theatre going and other forms of
amusement, which since 1872, have been
under the ban of the church.
Preceding the vote 10 accept the min
ority report, which recommends that
no action be taken, the conference at
times was in a state Of wild disorder,
This was due mainly to attempts to
amend the section of the book of dis
cipline under discussion. Some exceed
ingly sharp language was INDUCED in
by the angry delegates before the vote
was taken.
The matter came up in report No &.
of the committee on the state of the
church involving the standing of the
Methodist church on dancing, card
playing and other prohibited amuse-
ments. 1t was presented yesterday. The
galleries We're crowded with spectators.
DR.. 3. p. Raymond of Boston, spoke
in support of the majority report.
The regulation itself is a dead let
ter over a large part Of our church, "
he said. 1T cultivates duplicity and
thus undermines the fundamental prin-
ciple of truth in our church. Thus we
compromise ali other virtues"
DR.. Raymond also said that from the
studies of pedagogy q point could be
made in favor of taking the ban from
the amusements. I'VE strike a point
about the sixteenth years of age where
the will appears. If we would follow
nature we cannot build a fence around
man, for he rebels"
Dr. f. J. Gray of WilliamspOrt, Pa,
also spoke in favor of the majority re-
port.

ASHAMED
Visitors at Paris Criticise Unit
ed States Building.

Copyright, 1900, by the Associated Press)
Paris, May 26.-Now that all the ma
tienal pavilions in the Rue des Nations
have been opened to the public, a COM
parison of the artistic effect Of the
American building with that of its
neighbOrs is undoubtedly UnfavOrable
to the former. While the general ex-
ternaI appearance is a matter of archi-
tectural taste, the nudity of its interior
elicits the harshest criticism. Seldom
is a word of praise Of il heard from
visiting Americans, and the building
has already been christened various
uncomplimentary niclznames.

of Architect Coolidge, who submitted
plans of an entirely different character
for the pavilion, but they were re-
jected.
Americans in Hard Luck.
A number of cases Of unfortunate
suffering are coming under the notice
of the American officials in Paris. Many
bright, energetic young Americans,
having just means enough to transport
them here and being anxious to see the
exposition, came with the idea Of find
ing some small occupation which would
provide them with the means Of exist
ence during their stay. Some also hoped
TO strike occupations which they might
develop remuneratively. There is no
, false pride about them, and they are
willing to accept even mental employ
ment, such as selling newspapers,
backing boots and hawking exposition
tickets. They have, however, met with
unexpected obstacles, against which all
their pluck and vim are unaVailing

DR.. Buckley was then recognized.
THE Jesuits, Lutherans and Church
of England never allow the people to
dance or go to the theatre for the
forty days during Lent, but they do
not have any laws on the subject, he
said.
1T is not said to any man, Thou
Shalt Not but the moral force of the
body, together with the religious ex-
ercise causes their people to abstain
during Lent. I believe Methodists can
abstain all the year. The putting of
this list in the presence of young peo-
pie is d foe to sound genuine CONVEX
sion"
Dr. J. W. Bashfnrd argued for the
majority report, saying it intended no
difference in principle, but simply a
different method. Amid a wild clamor

was ordered.
