The Holston Conference.

There were great many changes
made at the late session of the Hol-
ston Conference assembled at Chat
tanooga Surprises came from every
direction. We give below few of
the important changes:
Nj. p. Carico from Grayson comes
to Graham, j. ". Smith goes to Gate
City, j. b. Ward goes to Newburn,
Va, j. w. Browning, of Newport,
Tenn. goes to Eckman, Il. w. Walk
er from Tenn. goes to Welch, T. +.
Weaver, of North Carolina to Clear
Fork, r.. M. Walker, of independence
to East Tazewell Circuit, I. A. Jor-
don TO Honaker, j. T. Frazier to
Bluefield, A. S. Thorne to West
Bluefield, w. A. Garden to Bramwell,
L. +. Suthers to Wise @. H. and
Clinch Valley Coal Field, j.. S. French
to Tazewell, r. X. Sutherland to Po-
cahontas, j. A, Ellison to North
Fork on Elkhorn. Two new presid-
ing elders were appointed, j. F.
Naff and f. II. Cassidy.
The sensation of the Conference
was the removal of DIR. Monk from
Centenary, Chattanooga. This sta
tion is the best in the Conference,
paying $3,750 to the pastor. DR..
Monk was the ideal of the congrega-
tion and had one more year. He
was moved in order to accommodate
DIR. Duncan, whose time had expired
at Knoxville. There was great op
position to the change. The next
Conference goes to Knoxville. Dur
ing thunder storm on Saturday al
midnight lightning struck the tai
spire of Centenary church in which
the Conference was held and set OF
fire. It had a narrow escape. Th,
damage amounted to $500. r. A

General Gordon's Lecture.

Tazewell will remember. for year:
to come. the visit and lecture Of that
distinguished gentleman General Jno
b Gordon, of Georgia, who came on
Saturday last and left on Sunday af-
ternoon. His co & and lecture
had been contemplated with great
pleasure by many-with a nervous
anxiety by others-those we mean,
who had the whole matter in hand,
and were, of course, anxious for it's
success, Nobody was disappointed.
Everybody was pleased, and now
lond in praise of the lecture itself
and of the parties to whose wise
management and energy it's splendid
success was due.
General Gordon was met at the
depot by committee, and was enter.
tanned during his stay by Maj. r.
II. Henry. A number of old CON
federate soldiers called on the dis
tinguished soldier on Sunday, and
spent the time pleasantly talking
over scenes aud Incidents OF those
trying times in which they all took
such a prominent part
The lecture on Saturday night met
the expectations of the large audi
ence, and fully sustained the reputa-
ton Of the distinguished lecturer.
He was conducted to the platform
by Maj. r. r. Henry and Capt. A.
j. Tynes, and introduced by the lat
ter in a short but very appropriate
speech. For nearly two hours the
audience, which filled to utmost Ca
pacity the large Presby terian church
was held spell bound by an eloquent
recital of scenes and incidents of
"The Last Days of The CoRfederacy."
The audience was, probably, the
finest ever assembled in Tazewell,
and General Gordon remarked, pri.
vately, that it was one of the best
and most intelligent he had ever
met. Too much cannot be said in
praise of the splendid occasion, and
of the good work done by the Ly-
ceum Club, who inaugurated this
course of lectures, so auspicially be-
gun.

AN Interesting Service.

On last Sunday night an import
ant meeting was held in the Meth
cdist church, which was taken part
in by several ministers and friends,
the object OF which was to advocate
and effect the reorganization of the
Young Mems Christian Association
in the town Of Tazewell. Various
and important reasons were advanced
in favor of such associations, among
others the following: Outside of The
ministry of Gods word, it is one OF
the very be t Associations for moral
and intellectual training.
1t takes under its shelter every
young man who wills TO live moral
..fe irrespective of creed, denomina-
ton, or belief. 1t has stood the
test of more than n half century of
years, and it has not yet reached the
zenith of It's glory or the strength of
its manhood, for it is every widening
its influence. so that today it has u
worldwide reputation and universal
appreciation.
Iu Joining such an institution, and
participating in it's advantages it
gives to every young man a check TO
his natural tendencies to go wrong.
The teachings and influence Of these
Associations are, to lead young men
up the grade of moral life, till they
reach the highest order of ethical
living which is Christianity. Meas
ures will soon be taken to reorgan-
ize this association. and it is hoped
that every young man in this town
and vicinity will see the utility oI
these institutions. G. B.

the German Embassy. The baron was fas-
cirated by the tall and handsome girl, with
her delicate rose-tinted complexion, large
blue eyes. and soft blonde hair. He pro-
posed to the Detroit beauty and was &C
cepted. The Kaiser, however. does not ap-
prove of foreign marriages for his diplo-
matte representatives, and it took some
time TO secure his permission for the mar
riage and TO remove the many barriers
The matter was finally arranged and the
wedding took place on February ,, 1897, in
Detroit. There were two ceremonies re-
Iigious ard civil, the former Of which was
performed by Bishop Foley in the Church
of SIS. PSter and Paul, the baron being a
Roman Catholic. At this time the baron
was German Minister to Mexico, and wore
his diplomatic uniform. The church deco
ratious were green and white-the official
coiors of Mexico. The brides only attend
ant was Miss Mcmillan, and a breakfast
OF seventy covers followed the ceremony at
the LedyaTd residence. For time the eou-
pie resided in Mexico, and when the baron
was appointed Minister to China the bar
oness left with her husband for his new
post, with lively anticipation Of a novel
experience. The tragedy which brought
Baroness Won KetteIer's life in China to a
NEST painful end is too recent and familiar

BIG HOTEL PROJECT.
One BEING Planned for baltimore to
Cost 100000.


BALTIMORE, Oct 29.-Another mag
pifeent hotel is projected for Baltimore.
The estimated cost of the site and build
ing is 100000 and like the hosiery
planned by Messrs. Alexander Brown,
Nelson Perrin, and their associates. will
surpass in elegance any structure cf-is-
kind south of Philadelphia.
The new hotel is being promoted by
Robert Burton, an attorney, and associ-
ated with him are some of the best
known business men in the city.
Several plans have been submitted but
none accepted. The new hotel will COM
bine the leading features of the Waldorf
Astoria of New York, the Touraine of
Boston. and other prominent hostelries of
the United States. The site for the pro-
posed structure has not yet been selected
but Mr.. Burton has several in view and
will probably decide upon one en- Charles
Street convenient to the business and
residential section.
The hotel will contain twelve fCors
and will have frontage of about $50 feet
and depth about the same dimensions.
The frame Will be of steel. other mate
rial being granite and pressed brick or
marble The first floor will be used FIR
an Office and dining-rooms. The dining
room viii be spacious and deliberately
decorated The plan will provide for be-
tween $50 and 270 sleeping
The intention is to erect a hotel ard
furnish a service that viii attract to Bal
tiBaore visitors who find the climate of
the North too severe during the winter
months. and to provide stopping place
for business men who visit this city that
Will take rank with any in the country.
It is expected that building operations
will begin this winter and that the hotel
will be thrown open to the public next
summer
