MANY CHANGES
Likely to Be Made in the
Methodist Assignments.
Annual Conference to Be Held at
Yarmouth, on April "a.
Much Speculation as 10 Appointments and
Length Of Pasiarates.

Tie 18th session of the Maine annual
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church will open at Yarmouth. April
~ Bishop J. NJ. Fitzgerald of Minnie
neat divines who will be present arc
mentioned Rev. S. F. Upham, n. D..
OF Drew Theological Seminary, Rev.
]. N. King OF New York, Rev. w. p
Thirkeild of Cincinnati, Rev. j. NJ.
Buckley of New York, and Rev. Chas
ParkhurSt of Boston.
This is the first conference to be held
since the general conference removed
the time limit. and quite a little spec
ulation has arisen as to the length Of
the pastorates. 1t seems from present
Indications that il will shorten rather
than lengthen them. Many of the min
listers who were clamorng for the re
moval of the time limit have already
cXm eSsei themselves in favor of re-
turning to the five years rule.
The conference does not promise to
tc as lively as the preceding one. from
the fact that there is no general on
ference to be held for three years. Con
reaucntly. no bishops or officers con-
nccted are to be elected. From present
Indications there will be in the neigh
borhood of 30 changes, more than the
usual number. In the Augusta district
many are anticipated. 1t is expected
that several of the older members of
the conference will ask for super
numerary or q superanuated relation.
Tho following forecast of the COM
ing appointments is reasonably certain
and as corr ct as can be ascertailed
until the bishop reads the list:

An item is going the rounds OF the
press to the effect that whiskey is made

What beautiful business it is!
The editor of newspaper has no
business to make mistakes; has no
business even to get anything in his
paper that people do not like. He
ought to know just what would suit
each individual, or he ought to take
each item before it is published and
let the person whom it concerns CEN
sure it. An editor has plenty of time
to do all this, and all he has to do is to
hunt news and clean rollers, set type,
clean the floors, pen short items, hustle
for advertising, fold papers and wrap
pers, talk to visitors and distribute
type, read proof and correct mistakes,
dodge the bills and dun delinquents,
and take GUESSING, and tell the subscib-
ers that he needs money.
