Lively Scenes at Tlsthodist General
Conference

Dallas. Tex, Special.-The parlia-
mentary tangle over the war claim
which has envcloDed the Conference OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
since the opening day, was only deep
ened by Fridays session. Bishop MOT
r!son, of Kentucky, presided. In the
course OF 80 minutes there were p
points OF order made and there were
four appeals during the day from the
decision of the chair. Oce question at
issue. the continuity CT the service OF
the members Of the board OF finance,
was lost in the maelstrom OF talk on
tactics. A resolution introduced by
delegates from Virginia held that as
the Senate of the United States had al
lowed the claims as great charity,
the fund to be used for the support OF
superannuated preachers. widows, etc,
and that no portion OF the amount be-
ycad $1,000. the amount intended by
Congress, shall &c paid any attorney as
fee for procuring CT issuing in pro-
curing the passage Of the claim. This
means that the Conference will be call
el upon to raise SlOS,O0O. less $1,000,
which amount was paid Maj. Stahlman.
This is considered mastery move
mc1t on the part OF the faction seeking
a compromise. The resolution was re-
ferred. A statement Of a delegate that

Low or medium degrees of myopia
or short sight, generally known as
"near sight" are seldom dangerous
when the eyes are properly fitted
with glasses. High degrees are both
dangerous and progressive; cannot be
wholly checked by the use of glasses
and when complicated with disease,
weakened constitution or neglect,
usually lead to partial or total blind
ness. We exercise great care in the
fitting of myopes. Advise how to
lessen the danger.
