THE METHODIST DISCIPLINE

At a dinner the other night in Chi
cago at which there were present
number of the most prominent Metho-
dists of the West including laymen
and clergymen and one bishop, the
question of the removal of certain
restrictions in the church discipline
was discussed. The provisions prohib-
itlng dancing, card playing and the
atre going were the chief points of
discussion. The prevailing opinion
seems to have been that the time has
come for more liberal view, and
that this should be incorporated in
tho official rules governing the church
membership.
II this question is raised we imagine
it win precipitate'a discussion more or
less acrimonious. since those who have
preached against the indulgence in
these pastimes as a sin per Sc, will be
loath to change their position. Yet
there is a growing sentiment that the
book of discipline is too rigid in its
prohibition in these matters, and that
some concession should be made TO the
progress of the age. 1t is a well-knOwn
fact that a great proportion of the
members of this great church wink at
the prohibition. and govern their con-
duct according TO their own ideas OF
right and wrong. Members of the
Methodist church in large numbers
play cards. dance and attend the the
atre. The question the church has tc
settle is whether these things are
wrong in themselves; If so, it mus
hold to the prohibition and reprimant
those who are guilty Of breaking hei
laws. To be consistent she must ever
exclude from membership those wh'
do not promise TO obey her command
in the future.
We have reason to believe that man!
persons connect themselves with thi
( church under a mental reservation
5 that they will not obey the command
of the Book OF Discipline in every par
, ticular. This is bad. since it encour
r ages deception. We know of one in
. stance where number of young la
e dies expressed the desire Of joinin

y pastor that they would have to Civ

WAR MINISTER RESIGNS

Rome. April 2S.-General Count Cor
iOlana Ponza di San MARITIME, the Min
lister of War, has resigned.
General Ponza was chosen to sue
ceed the distinguished General Pellout
as Minister of War in the hope that
he could at least keep the army up to
the existing standard. Shis is a diff
cult task, chiefly because OF the lack of
funds. 1t is probable that General
Ponza has found it impracticable to
institute any reforms in the military
establishment because of the great
cost involved for improved arms. am

able that the earth may be destroyed by collision with comet or some huge meteor, still the fact that such a con- tingency is possible is sufficient ground for discussion on the subject, and for imagining what the result might be. Although it is not probable, still it Is possible, that the earth may sometime encounter such a shower of small meteors, perhaps in the form of com- ct, that the heat of combustion from friction with our atmosphere and the poisonous gases thereby generated, might destroy all terrestrial life. EX- pression was given to this theory in series of articles published some time ago by Camille Flammarion, the emin- ent astronomers author.
 Again, it is known that not many years ago a huge bolide, something like eight miles in diameter, fairly grazed our earth What would happen should a bolide, or meteor, 100 miles, or even 1000 miles. in diameter, strike the earth fairly and squarely? Were we to sus- pend an egg by small cord, and fire at it with a rifle. so that the bullet would strike it in the center the eff feet would be somewhat similar on a small scale to what might be expected to happen to the earth if struck by a huge bolide 1000 miles in diameter,

ballot stood thus: Simmons, g.; Weeks, 2;
blank, ?. Mr.. Willis was about 10 declare
Simmons elected as having received three
out Of five votes cHst, but Mr.. Chandler said
there was no election, and Chairman Willis
said he was right Tho blank votes were
evidently cast by the Democratic membets,
Armstrong and Mealey.
Mr.. Elliott moved adjournment, but tho
nation was lost by this vote; Yeas, Willits,
Elliott and Ewart nays, Armstrong, Chand-
Ter. Mealey and MeSginson.
Then another ballot was TAKEN with this
result: Simmons, s.; Weeks, 2; blank, 2.
Mr.. Chandler then changed his tactics
and announced the nomination of John u.
Kelley. This brought Mr.. EwRrt TO his feet
with protest. He declared that this matter
should be settled by the Republican MEM
beers, majority Of whom had voted for one
man. For the best interests OF the Repub-
lican party he thought any Republican
should be willing to settle the matter among
themselves.
Then Mr.. Armstrong reminded Mr.. Ewart
that he had changed his position from that
he had taken earlier when he said that all
the members should act for the interests OF
the taxpayers.
Mr.. Ewart replied that if a good Republic
can could not be secured for the place, he
would vote for Democrat. He moved that
the whole matter be laid over for one week,
but the motion was lost.
MIR. Megginson said he was willing to stay
until midnight to get done with 1t. The
ballot was taken and resulted thus Kelley,
4; Simmons, 3. Evidently the Democrats
had voted with Chandler and Megginson.
President Willis announced Kelley'a eiec-
ton. Court adjourned until next Tuesday.

PRISONER WILL NOT EAT.

Media, Pa, July Is. Albert Bradley,
q young man who gives his address as
Laurel, Del, where he says his father
is the owner OF considerable property,
has been in Jail here a week, held on
a charge of obtaining money under
false pretence, and since that time has
absolutely refused to touch mouthful
of food. He says he has been perse-
cuted, and proposes to starve himself to
death.
Young Bradley was arrested in
Chester, where he made the acquaint-
ance of Richard Gillespie. The latter
had some money in bank, and Bradley
proposed they go into the commission
business, he to furnish the experience
and Gillespie the cash. Bradley sub
sequently had Gillespie deposit the
money in the name of the firm. He
then drew $50, and, collecting s37 more,
told his partner he could find better
market for their goods in Philadelphia,
and was about to leave whom arrested.
Bradley was forced to give over the
money, but declared his intentions
were sincere, and was very indignant
at his arrest, which was made on
charges preferred by Gillespie.

THOMPSON AND COOPER
IN CONT EMPT OF COURT
For Continuing Work on the Augustine
Pier in Defiance Of the Courts
Restraining Order.
A CLAIM THAT IT WAS A MISTAKE
But the Chancellor Would Not
Accept the Excuse.
SENTENCE SUSPENDED FOR A FEW DAYS

On July 7th DR.. Thomas o. Cooper
and William j. Thompson we're re-
strained from erecting buildings or
driving any piling and extending the
wharf at Augustine Park until further
orders of Chancellor Nicholson. On
July 9th and 10th the contractor who
was driving the piling and extending
the wharf, under the personal super
vision of DIR. Cooper, again began work
on the wharf, and drove 30 or 40 addi
tional piling and almost doubled the
capacity of the wharf, working by
lantern light until late in the night.
Horace G. Eastburn, representing
Absalom Cordrey, the owner of the
park, went before the Chancellor, at
Dover, Friday, with an application
that DR.. Cooper and Mr.. Thompson be
declared in contempt of court for dis
oheying the restraining order of the
Chancellor.
Charles NJ. Curtis appeared for
Cooper and Thompson, and explained
10 the Chancellor that through mis-
take Of the extent to which the restrain
ing order went, the defendants con-
tinued building operations through his
advice, but the Chancellor informed
him that it was we'll laid down that
the defendants in such proceedings
could not shield themselves back of
mistaken advice of counsel. They must
obey not only the spirit but also the
strict letter of such an order. To DO
otherwise would cause confusion and
imperil the dignity of the court.
1t was brought out in evidence that
the defendants had apparently imposed
upon counsel and with the excuse Of
attempting to strengthen the wharf,
had evidently undertaken to accomplish
what they set out to do before the
restraining order was granted.
Mr.. Curtis made an effort to have
the order modified SO that the defend
ants could make necessary additions
and repairs to the wharf TO make and
keep it safe, but the Chancellor de-
clared both defendants in contempt Of
court and informed Mr.. Curtis that
until both defendants entirely purge
| themselves of the contempt they had
no standing whatever in tho court,
and ordered them to Immediately dis.
continue all operations at the wharf.
The Chancellor suspended sentence
of judgment for day or two, until he
can make further Investigation into
the matter. The sentence may be fine
| or Imprisonment.
