NEW YORK REPUB-
LICANS TO MEET
State Convention Preparing
TO Endorse Roosevelt

Saratoga, NJ y, Sept. 22.-The Re
publican state convention will as
semble in this city tomorrow to nom
mate candidates for governor lieu
tenant governor and :. .her state Of
fees to be filed at th,i November cleo
ton. Many OF the delegates and 9TH
er party leaders have already put in
an appearance and their early arrival
on the scene is evidence of the more
than ordinary interest and Importance
attached to the gathering. The state
ticket has been practically agreed up
on by Senator Plat and the state or
ganization and the convention will not
be enlivened by any contests for nom
ination Though eleventh-hour devel-
opments may necessitate a change in
some one of the minor places, it is
reasonably certain that the ticket will
be made up as follows:
For governor b. b. Odel. Jr., Of
Orange county.
For lieutenant governor, George R.
Sheldon, of New York.
For secretary of state, John I. Nc
Donough, OF Albany.
For attorney general, Henry b. Co
man, of Madison county.
For controller, Nathan L. Miller, of
Cortland county.
For state treasurer, John G. Wick
ser. of Erie.
For state engineer, Edward A. Bond,
of Jefferson county.
For Justice of the court Of appeals,
William e. Warner of Monroe county.
The make up Of the state ticket
practically settled the attention Of the
delegates is centered on questions ov-
= er which there n more party conten-
tion and livelier public interest
the Endorsement of President Roose-
welt for the Republican nomination in
1904, the Endorsement Of his policy
with regard to the trusts, and a pro
posed declaration in favor of his stand
on the question of Cuban reciprocity
Talks with the delegates on the field
indicate a decided difference of opin
ion on these questions and it is pre-
dicted that there will be some lively
debates on the convention floor when
the subjects are introduced for consid
Grafton and action. While some prom
inent leaders are openly antagonistiC
to such a course, It is generally believ
ed that the convention will indors'
the president as the logical candidate
for denomination" To Edward w
Lauterbach has been entrusted the
task Of framing tentative planks OF
the trust and reciprocity issues. It Il
difficult to forecast just what stanC
the convention viii take on these two
questions. The difference of opinion
probably win result in a compromise
There is a decided opposition to al
endorsement Of the presidents recip
rocity plan. Some Of the leaders arr
for leaving all mention of the ques
tion out Of the resolutions, while 9th
ers are in favor of dealing with it on
ly in a general way

VEGETABLES STILL HIGH
No Drop 10 Price Expected for Two or
Three Weeks

The customary drop in the prices of
vegetables, fruits, butter, milk and eggs
which is one of the harbingers Of spring
may he expected in the course of the
next two weeks but it has not yet ar

ties prevail now.
Potatoes, both foreign and domestic
are plentiful, but they still command
good figures. Scotch potatoes were sell
ing yesterday for $40 a sack, which con
tains two bushels and three pecks, and
domestic potatoes. mostly from Maine
commanded 30 cents a bushel. Very few
Southern potatoes have reached the mar.
kot. Southern tomatoes are bringing
from $3.50 10 S275 a case, which is q
slight increase ON the price obtained foi
Them three weeks ago. From 81 TO S2.7I

TO So a crate for beans
The Southern crop is a little backward
cold weather having retarded it some
what Florida strawberries are already
in the market. and are bringing from %
cents TO 30 cents q box.
Winter prices on butter and eggs still
prevail. and win continue TO prevail foi
some weeks. Western meats show nC
sign of falling in price. Indeed, the price
for meats is little higher than it was
some weeks ago due 20 the increase "
the cost of corn. No marked decrease IL
looked for till the grass-fed beef shall bl
put on the market which win be early il

CONFERENCE
SOON TO BEGIN
Very Few Changes Among
Ministers in Sight
SESSION LIKELY QUIET ONE
Begins in CriSIied, Nd, on March 10
aud Will Continue One
Week
SESSION LIKELY QUIET ONE

The thirty-fourth annual session Of
the Wilmington Methodist Episcopal |
Conference will convene in the MethO-
dist Episcopal Church, of Crisiield, |
on the morning of March 10. It prom
ises to be a session of very great in
terest, and the approach OF this annual
session is of great Importance and a
subject Of much interest to the many
people of this Peninsula, which is pre-
dominated by the Methodist Episcopal
Church more than by any other church
within its bounds.
The territory covered by the Will
mington Annual Conference includes
the State Of Delaware. the counties of
the Eastern Shore OF Maryland and
Virginia, and comprises about 1876 ap-
pointments. ninety-three of which are
in Maryland, seventy-eight in Delaware
and four in Virginia.
The ministerial membership of the
Conference has at present 1856 men,
29 of whom are on the supenum-
erary and superannuated list The lay
membership of the Conference is about
$4,000 persons who worship in nearly
400 different churches, whose value is
NEARLY S3,00O000
At the coming session there will be
no vacancies in the presiding elders
Offices to fill It does not seem on the
surface of things that there will be
very many changes among the minis
lters but this may be the proverbial
uuiet before the storm and it is one
of the impossible things to predict
THE number of changes THAT will take
place in an annual conference. The
ministers of the Wilmington district
in the ma iority of cases have been in
vited to return TO the church that they
are now serving, and in most of these
cases the request of the Offciary OF
the church or churches will be granted
All the ministers now serving ap-
DOintments in this city will doubtless
return to their present charges EXCEPT
possibly the Rev. KarhOlson. of Ki?gs-
wood, who desires a transfer to some
NcrtEern c,i.iC euce on account Oe the
condition of his wife's health. IL is
expected that there will be a change
at Harrison. as It is understood that
the Rev. W. r. Avery, d. d.. some tinC
ago advised his official board OF his de-
sire to leave in the spring. The Rev
+. Burgette Short, now closing his fifth
year at Epworth, having accepted the
secretaryship of the Y. NJ. c. A., will
win be succeeded by a pastor yet TO b,
selected.
The examinations for the coming
session Of tae Conference will begin CT
Monday March "a. i'm the Criafelt
Methodist Episcopal Church, and all
candidates for orders and students to
be examined must at that time present
themselves before the several and var
iOus committees. Some prominent
suggestions along this line will be pre-
scented in suLs ccUent issues OF this ia,
lper.
