Arraigncd the President.
The majority report arraigned the
chief magistrate severely. The con-
ference finally adopted the minority
report which excluded the paragraphs
referring to the chief magistrate, but
which, however, called upon him TO
use his influence to secure the passage

The Amusement Question.
The amusement que stion was also
disposed of to-day, but in rather an
unexpected way. BY majority of
only three votes, the mir ority re-
port, accepted Saturday, was laid on
the table, but any attempt TO take up
the majority report was frustrated by
bishop Fitzgerald ruling that it was
not before the conference and it is not
believed that any further attempt Will
be made to take the matter up. Thus
the conference in effect has taken no
action in regard to the ban placed up
On certain forms of amusement
The Presidents Champion.
In the course of the debate on the
canteen question DIR. Frank b. Bristol,
of Washington, President McKinley's 3
pastor, aroused tremendous applause
by protesting against what he termed
all "Unbrotherly, unjust. unpatriotic,
unprotestant attack upon the presi-
dent of the United States.'
''He is to-day the mcst distinguished
Christian lay man in the world"
An international Aspect.

but he was promptly ruled out of or

aspect to the debate by asking why

countries, should join III an attack up

Chicago. May 29.--Criticism of Pres
ident Mckinley for his attitude in re-
gard tc Att'y.-Gen. Griggs' interpreia-
ton of the anti-canteen law was ever
whelmingly voted down by the Meth
odist general conference after two
hours of warm debate. The matter
was brough. ur by the presentation Of
the report of the committee ON tenn
perance, of which Samuel Dickie, Of
Michigan, candidate fer president on
the prohibition ticket in 1892, is chair
man.

Higher Attitudes Sought.

Few, if any, observatory parties
were located at the large cities, for
the reason that they lacked the alti-
tude, and an unobstructed view for
any distance was not to be found.
The higher attitudes gave reasonable
assurance also of clearer atmosphere,
and at this season of the year less
clouds are generally found. especially
in Alabama, Georgia and North Caro-
lima.

There are four newly-filled graves in
the city cemetery, at Nacogdoches,
Tex, which rounds off sorrowful
story. Bruce Harrell, laboringman,
was the happy head of family con-
sisting of a wife and four children.
The mother and three of the children
sleep in their grves. First to go was
the little son, four years old, then the
sorrow-stricken mother few days
after. Then, day by day followed the
nursing baby and the sister of seven.
Measles, with complications, were the
cause.

While the eclipse was visible all
over the country, it was only within
a path of about fifty-five miles in
width, extending from New Orleans
to Norfolk, that the obscuration was
complete. 1t will be readily seen,
miles in this belt made a difference
of one-ffth in the matter of time in
which the observation might be wit

Capt. Page McCarty, who figured In
the famous duel at Richmond, Va,
with Mr.. Mordecai, in which the latter
was killed and the former terribly
wounded. died at the Retreat for the
Sick, in Richmond, after long illness.
This duel which took place in the
spring of 1873, was one of the most
noted affairs of honor that has oc-
CURED since the war. Roth of the
principals and all of the seconds to IL

The lady, who was the perfectly in

Divorce I'm Texas.
Says the Dallas (Tex.) News: Tho
divorce mills all over the state are
running regularly, and always with
grist on hand. In fact, in the large
towns most of the cases docketed are
for divorce. The verdicts in the cases
show that it is either not much trou-
Bile to get a divorce in this state, or
that morality and respectability, the
lack of which is supposed to furnish
the statutory grounds for them, are
not what they ought to be. Anyhow,
the number of divorces granted is ap-
palling to those who are interested in
. high social standard.

A devastating fire rnged at Apalachi-
