yiolins of Porcelain.

Vio1ins and mandolins of porcelain
are the latest things made in Ger
many" "Kuhlow's" reports that
well-known manufacturer of the Mes
sein okarinas and porcelain organs
has invented a process for the manu-
facture Of laandolins and violins from
clay. Some violins have already been
completed, and the inventor has APP
piled for letters patent in different
countries Under this process the vio-
Inns are cast, and every violin is guar
anteed a success and to be excellent
for producing music. The latter quail
ity constitutes precisely the chief
value of this invention. The porcelain
body, it is claimed, is better able to
produce sound than a wooden one,
since it co-operates in the production
of sound, making the notes soft and
full. The mandolin, much played in
southern countries, is also made Of
porcelain, and the musical sound Of
this instrument is likewise stated to
be improved. In shape the porcelain
violin is an exact imitation of the
wooden instrument, but as the porce-
lain violin is very suitable for decora-
ton. it is very likely that costly in
struments of luxury will be asked for,
as is the case with the okarinas. 1t is
asserted that the porcelain violins
possess the further advantage over
the wooden ones that they are totally
insensible to the influence of the
weather. That the porcelain violins
are liable to breakage, and that -Hhey
are heavy, appears to have been left
unconsidered. They are made in the
aarthenware factory, Sornewitz.

Paid Regiment with Advertisements.

Paid Regiment With Advertisements.
There is an old confederate soldier
in Louisville who tells an amusing
story of an adventure he had during
the civil war. He says:
lone day during the siege of Vicks-
burg, when everybody was out of
money, and business was at stand
still, l was walking along the streets
of the city with my colonel, when a
shell from one of Grants gunboats
struck a house across the street from
u.s. In this house was a drug store.
The shell exploded and set fire to the
house. The colonel and l and some
other soldiers helped extinguish the
flames. In looking around among
the ruins we found box of old mus
tang liniment advertisements made in
the shape of dollar bills.
LAS soon as 1 saw them an idea
struck me which I communicated to
the colonel Then I asked the drug
gist if he wanted the advertisements,
and, receiving a negative reply, took
up the box and carried it to headquar-
tiers.
There was enough of that fake
money in the box to pay off the regl-
ment, and nearly enough to pay on
the brigade The next morning the
colonel mustered the soldiers and
every man was given part OF his
pay in advertisements. Business imme-
diately resumed, and the pie and to-
bacco stands opened up once more
The mustang liniment bills passed
current and were as readily changed as
confederate bills"

its horrors and the despair -riven victims, i incarnated, so to speak, and voiced pass 1 ed in awful procession before the audi 1 cnce crying woe, woe, woe. The very l Heavens seemed to send back, in re- | verberating crashes, these terrific woes | The effort was awful beyond description, l one gentleman was put into a state of de- .rangement. Judge Shorter, who was l present, declared to a friend some days after that the woes with which Dr. Ca l pers address had closed had been ring 1 ing in his ears ever since, and that he 1 had heard them day or night, asleep or awake. At the invitation of Dr. Capers the mighty crowd, as one man. dropped on the ground, and the voice of weeping and intercessiOn smote the Heavens. n was supposed that not less than a thou sand persons were convicted of sin as a result of the meeting; and revival of religion ensued which seemed to sweep everything before it. A wonderful power he had; equal to that of the orators of old who swayed the multtudes at their will. He was said not to have been of the style that was grand and over whelming but he reminded you rather of beautiful summer sunrise with the sparkle of its dewrobes, the melodies of its birds, the freshness of its breeze"
 Dr. Capers' came to the territory now known as Alabama, then embraced in the western border of Georgia, being the pioneer in the first missionary enterprise undertaken by the South Carolina Con- ference to the Creek Indians The treaty which he aided in making was made un- der tree in Russell County, in this State which is sad to be yet standing.
 Valentine Cook.
 Remembering the words of Dr. EIcCar- ty that if he had his life to go over again he would amend it in one especial nar- ucular-commune more closely with God in prayer and the Bishops comment thereon, recalls to mind the fact that tha great preacher Valentine Cook had great faith in his power with God in prayer.
 It is told of him that one time his class leader was taken very ill His friends were with him most of the time and were greatly concerned on his account. The case was at length pronounced hope less bv his physicians
 MT. Cook coming into the room when it was supposed the sick man was actually dying. approached his bed and said to him in a distinct voice:
 Brother G. do you know me-"
 "Oh yes,' was the reply
 Do you desire" said he, that We con tinue to pray for your recovery"
 'I leave that" said the afflicted man, 'to you and them"
 He then walked into the rcm where the physicians were in consultation. "What.i said he "is the conclusion? Must Brother G. die at this timer"

 Immediately following the song. a prayer was offered by Dr. J. J. Tigert, also of Nashville and ook Editor of the Church
 The song, "Au Hail the Power of Je- suss Name" was then sung, after which a beautiful vocal selection was rendered by Mrs. !. II. Pearson, member of the choir. Mls. Pearson possesses a voice which is mild, clear and resonant cul- tivatcd voice which thrills an audience.
 Dr. Hammond was then presented to the audience by Dr. Andrews, and his address Was listened to atentively by the entire assemblage. He spoke about an hour
 Dr. Hammond based his remarks en- titcly on the subject of education, deal ing principally with the state of affairs in educational circles fin the South.
 He spoke of Inc great work which is being accomplished by the Conferences each year. and devoted much time in praising the work of the last Conference. Education of ministers, he said, was be- coming more and more a principal object of the pnfcrences. and by the methods and rules now in effect more enlightened ministers are now being ordained than egers in the history of Alcoholism.
 He spoke also of the importance con nected with having as teachers in the public schools of the country officers and members of churches and said that the Methodist church was largely responsible for the Christian education of the young of the coundy.

 - lamentable the condition may seem Jg. Hammond said that statistics show ttat only one and a half million of these children enjoying the advantages of a sohe. e, education.

OLD-TIME PREACHERS
ELooUENcE, POWER AND HARD
 SHIPS OF ITINERANTS.
Bishop William Capers and Valentine Cook, Men Who Attained Eminence by Their Great
 Piety and Faith.

There Is scarcely a member of the Ala bama Conference who is not familiar with the history of Bishop William Ca- pers.
 He long enjoyed a national reputation and was worthy of all honor. He was admitted into the travelling connection with the South Carolina Conference in 1898 and his first appointment embraced twen- ty-four congregations. was four weeks circuit and about three hundred miles around. He went there alone and filled every appointment during the year but one, and missed that one on account Of rain. He is said to have had a voice as musical as Apollos lute." and possessed of wonderful fuency. He had an air of classic elegance and his clear. smoothly spoken words were easy to be heard-even in the galleries.
 He was fond of preaching on the para bles and the leading historic incidents embraced in the Gospel narrative. In treating this class of subjects 1t is said his power of fine discrimination, his tact in dissecting character, his minute trac- cry of motive his fertility of illustration and fervency of devotional feeling, were all shown in a masterly style. His ordi- nary preaching kept the level of sol emn, animated edifying appeal to the reason and conscience of his audience.
 At the Rembert camp ground in South Carolina he preached sermon on the text. Thou that leadeth Joseph like a flock, thou that dwelleth between the cherubim, shine forth. his theme being upon the developments of Providence. It has been often said that 1t was never sur passed in the Palmetto State.
 A little later at a camp meeting in Put nam County, Ga., after powerful ser mon preached by pr. Pierce, he dehv- cred an exhortation, the effort of which was never forgotten by any who heard 1t.
 "He arose to the highest mood of impassioned feeling" it is said, ''and seemed to drive the chariot of the earth quakes, his .teeds the storm clouds. The world of woe, at his bidding, uncovered

is popular throughout Montgomery. H. was passed unanimously.
 The name of Charles D. Brooks of Sel. ma was called. MT. Brooks was report. ed i'll and not able to attend the Confer ence. It was ordered that he be giver work until the Conference next year |, His character recommendations were ex- cellent.
 James c. Harrison of Montgomery was unanimously accepted on trial. MT. Har- rison has for the past several months been in the Lower Peachtree circuit, where it is reported he did effective work Mir. Harrison has been Montgomerian for years and is well known throughout the city
 selman T. Turnipseed was also admit ted He is from the Union Springs dis trict and is a teacher in the district schools.
 The name of James A. Mum of the Greensboro district was submitted Mir. Mum for the past two years has been a minister in the Alabama Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church. He desired to enter the Methodist service, however. His character was proved to be excellent and the report of his work was found good. It was decided that as soon as he shrould take the ordination vows he could he admitted to the conference as an el- der The taking of these vows was set down as special order for today's ses- sion. After the vows are taken his name will be passed on by the Conference.
 Rev. J. J. Tygert of Nashville who represents the Methodist Quarterly Re- view, spoke interestingly for a few min utes on the work, of his magazine.
 Led by the Bishop, the conference sang the DoXology and the benedlction was pronounced by Dr. Tygert.
 The hours of different committee meet 1ngs were then announced and the Con ference adjourned until this morning at 9 o'clock.

deem 1t best that all our energies shall be devoted to the enlargement of that fund and do not deem 1t wise to enter upon an enterprise which might interfere with that movement"
 Dr. I. F. Bilbro, President of the Mu- tual Aid Society for members of the Ala bama Conference, spoke to the Confer enec on the good work the organization was performing and urged every mem Der of the Conference to affiliate with the society.
 brought up the question of the provision for superannuates and awakened a live ly discussion. The Bishop said he had no intention of making a speech on any appropriation for superannuates but he had one in mind and the longer he thought on the matter the more he want ed to speak. He had made such a speech once before, and he wanted more and more every day to make better and a longer one on the subject. He advocated the idea of having homes for superan- nuates scattered throughout the State, not after the manner of a poor house, but "homey homes,' was what he want ed. Untold good, he said, had been done through this means, and he hoped to see movement to this end before the Con- ference adjourned.
 pr. A. J. Lamor said he was sorry to oppose the episcopacy, and especially this particular member of the episcopacy, Bishop Smith, but he thought that the movement for the support of the superan- nuates should go in the old channels un- til sufficient fund was raised each year to give the old men comfortable living He didn't see the necessity of branching out until the main trunk was developed
 pr. J. w. Rush emphatically endorsed the views of Dr. Lamar. Rev. J. M. Danrelly spoke, endorsing the views of Bishop Smith. He was followed by Lay man William Gilmer.
 Doing Too Much Talking.
 As MT. Cline" was speaking, the con- tinual buzz throughout the church be- came more and more noisy until Bishop Smith said, You members of the Court Of Gentiles are making too much noise in the rear, and it would please me greatly if you would be more orderly"
 MT. Gilmer finished his talk, there be- ing absolute quiet in the auditorium
The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-12-12

The Bishop at this juncture called the attention of the Conference to the point that everybody was out of order as the matter had already been disposed of when the report of pr. Lamar's committee was adopted.
 However" said the Bishop, this is a Conference. and we can profitably hear the views of each other. and then. too, We cant break up a speech of some good brethren without endangering their lives"
 Dr. l.. IT. Whistler, Secretary of the Church Extension Board of the General Conference, addressed the Conference on the work of his board. The work consists of assisting needy churches, and in fact, all churches erecting suitable houses of worship. It is considered one of the 1Nost important boards in the General Confer ence. Dr. Whistler put in a word for the Woman's Home Mission Society. This organization provides parsohaE g, furniture. etc, for the pastors. and is one of the most beneficial auXliarics to the church. It's membership in the South ecn Church is 29,oo0.
 Dr. H. NJ. DuBose spoke for the Fp- worth League. He reported that during the last year this organization had an in- sod membership of 10,OO0 and that it's donations to the church amounted to s75,060. Dr. DuBose's speech was elo- quent and witty. Time and again his sal lies were greeted with laughter. His speech was decidedly one of the features Of the session.
 Five Young Preachers Received.
 The Committee on A lission and Trial then reported. There w0s six young men in the room who were ngos for this re- port and as each namo was called there was smiles of satisfaction as their names were reported.
