WHY THE MINISTER WAS CALLED
The Bishop of Bath and Wells, who is
to figure so prominently at the corona
ton standing to the left Of the thrcne
of the king throughout the greater por-
ton of the ceremony. is not exactly
noted for his good looks, says the
Marquise de Fontenoy, in the Philadel-
phia Press. In fact, he is rather
homely. He is quite aware of the fact
however, and tells a good story in this
connection at his own expense. II
seems tnat one day as he was riding
in an omnibus in London he was an
noyed by the persistent staring of a
workingman on the opposite seat
The man presently addressed himself
to him as follows:
You're a parson, amt you?"
"Well, yes, that is so.'
Look ere, parson.' exclaimed the
man, would you mind comm 'ome
with me to see my wife,"
Imagining the wife was sick and
needing spiritual assistance the bishop
at much inconvenience to himself
went with the man. On arriving at
the house the man shouted to his wife
to come downstairs, and pointing tc
the astonished prelate, cried with a
grin of delight:
Locke ere, Sairry. Yer said this
mornin' as l wur the hugliest chap in
England. Now, just yer look at this
bloke."

A Breeze From the Plains.


Mr.. G. G. Conner a resident Of South
Dakota and member of the Spear
fish club, while in New York, visited
the Sportsman's show at Madison
Square garden, and that fellowship
which exists between the brethren OF
the west was recognized at once, and
Mr.. .Conner's password, grip or sign
opened to us all any information that
those from the west possessed. Among
MANY things we heard was the fol-
lowing story told by noted guide and
trapper that was at the show, and we
think it was the only story he told III
the whole two weeks of the exposition.
"Thars no use," he said. 'in try
ing to speak a good word for an In

they'u less sell thar lives for whisky,

plains on as pretty piece of horsehesh
as YOU ever seed, lookin' for sumfin

skin. We how'd parleyed for awhlie,
when he spied a quart bottle sticking
out of my pocket, which I had taken
from the cabin when I left for safe
keeping. AS my pardener was mon
sirius fond of ,good whisky. and l
thought it was a heap safer wild me
than wild him, so took it along, as
said, and the Injun spied it.
"'Ugh! what you got? he asked
whisky I said.
"'Good?'

"'Sell?'
"'No.'

"Now, jess think of that thar, Will

skin willing to give two hundred dol
lars for a dollar bottle of redeye. 1

"Well!" said one Of his auditors, mo
one could attach any blame to you for
accepting his offer. If he placed that
value on the whisky, it was immaterial
what you paid for it; but I must say
it was a good deal on your part"
Huh" said the guide; 'who said
anything about deal. I wouldn't take
his trade. 1t was the only quart OF

METHODIST DEACONEssEs.
Female Order In the Church Estab-
lIshed-An Advanced Step.

lished-An Advanced Step.
The general conference of the M. E.
Church South, recently held at Dallas,
Texas, took an advanced and important
step at its session on Saturday in de-
termining to establish the order Of dea-
conesses in the church. The vote In
favor was decisive. being 130 to 3S IN
opposition. Church authorities declare
this to be the most radical and advanc-
ed step ever taken in the policy and
discipline Of the church.
The debate on the question was very
interesting. DR.. Paul Whitehead said
he had been an advocate Of the estab-
lishment of the deaconesses since 1890.
There was no material difference be-
tween the prejudice against trained
women and trained nurses. Southern
prejudice was against 1t; but the COM
mon sense of the age and necessities
demanded these women. The work
was for them and they loved to do It,
and provision must be made to train
them. 1t could not be done without a
school. He moved the substitution of
the minority report.
w. r. Peeb>es, of Tennessee, opposed
the legislation. 1t crushed Individual
ism. He would like to see something
done for Methodism along the line pro-
posed without orders. He did not ap-
prove Of class legislation, and consid-
ering the fact. that only single women
or widows were eligible as deaconesses,
the legislation was Of the class kind.
DR.. Coke Smith said there was a
work in cities which only trained wo-
men could do. You could not pick up
women here and there. When a wo-
man married she legislated herself out,
as she had children Of her own to look
out for. st. Paul made the distinction.
The call was pressing and he hoped
it would be adopted.
w. B. Webb paid a tribute to the
Roman Catholic nurses during the
war. S. B. Adams followed in q glow
ing eulogy on the Sisters Of Charity,
with whom he had been associated in
charitable work. Methodism should
follow their steps and he rejoiced in
the attempt to institute practical
charity. DR.. A. ]. Lamar opposed ad-
vertising by garb and dress piety. Or

ders weakens a churchill had done sc
to Catholicism. Sentiment was beau
tiful, but had no place here.
DR.. J. A. Clifton, Familiarity known
to the conference and visitors as "the
South Carolina Irishman," spoke In
favor of the proposed legislation in a
speech full of sentiment and humorous
piety.
"A brother" he said, has spoken OF
sentiment in deprecating terms. Sem
timent makes character and character

frequently interrupted with applause,
and it was evident that his arguments
made a deep impression favorable to
the measure.
DR.. Briggs, Of Kansas, closed for the
opposition.
The matter was then laid before the
conference and the minority report was
adopted. -

COOPERATIVE TELEPHONES.
WIsconsin Discovers How to Get q
Service at Cheap Rates.

Service at Cheap Rates.
The story of rebellion in Wisconsin
against high telephone rates and of the
formation of cooperative telephone ex-
changes to fight the high-priced cor
poration, is told in the Municipal Jour-
nal for May. The result Of the move
ment has been to force the old company
out of business.
The movement started at Grand
Rapids. The telephone rates were high
and the company wouldn't lower them,
protesting that 1t couldn't afford to.
A few of the kickers decided then to
run a telephone service Of their own.
A company was organized with a
capital of $1,000, divided into 100
shares, each share representing the
cost of the installation Of a single in
strument. Each stockholder was al
lowed to hold only one share for every
instrument rented by him, and the
ownership Of the stock. was absolute
ly confined to renters Of telephones.
Dividends Of 1 per cent. were to be
paid on the stock monthly.
Starting with SO telephones the eX-
change grew till it had 3OO-a telephone
for every II inhabitants of the place.
Experience proved that by charging a
monthly rate of $2.25 for stores and
81 for residences, after payment of the
original $50 subscription, the company
could give good service and increase
its dividends to II per cent. month.
Thus it's patrons had to pay monthly
only $3.50 for business service. after
deducting the dividend. and only 25
cents for residences. For each instru-
ment the operating expenses were SO
a year:
1t being a small town with public
opinion unanimously demanding cheap
telephones. there was no difficulty
about franchise for stringing wires
and there were no expensive under
ground conduits to be built. And the
more the service grew the greater was
its value to the subscribers.
Of course, the original company could
not compete with these profitless prices
and the company could not buy up the
cooperative exchange, because stock
could be held only by users Of tele-
phones. AS soon as a subscriber ceased
to rent a phone his share was can
celled.
The old telephone company tried
every means to oust the newcomers;
but it could not be done. 1t offered
telephones rent free for three years
hoping to win away enough of the CO.
operative subscribers to compel the
rest to go back to the original plan.
The new company replied by showing
it's members what would hanpen to
them after three years and the cooper
tors stuck together.
The result has been that the old
company has gone out of business and
the cooperative company is constant
ly increasing it's service.
Besides Grand Rapids, Wausau,
Merrill Marshfeld and several other
towns now have cooperative telephone
service There is a group Of these
towns in the Winconsin Valley and
long distance lines between them are
now being projected.

board of county commissioners of Cas-
ton county, a large part of which time
he was chairman of that body. We
believe it is a matter Of record that
during this entire period of 1S years he
was not absent from single meeting
of the board The comradeship of his
fellow veterans Of the Confederacy was
very dear to him, and this feeling OF
fellowship was reciprocated time and
again in his election and reelection as
commander of the William Gamble
camp Of Confederate veterans at Dali
las. A faithful member Of Bethel
church, he moved his membership to
Union church and was chosen an elder
about eight years ago, when Rev. G.
A. Sparrow became its pastor. At the
home of the deceased yesterday morn
ing, it was this pastors mournful duty
to conduct the funeral services of his
beloved elder, friend, and brother. AT
Bethel church in the afternoon his body
was consigned to the grave. there to
await the final summons. The sorrow
ing friends and bereaved relatives who
gathered at Bethel church yesterday
afternoon buried away from sight one
of the best men that ever lived. For
12 years we have known Captain Geo.
A. Patrick as a public servant END
valued personal friend, and If he had
single fault of character we do not
know what it was. He was a man OF
great probity, virtue and gindliness
of nature, who loved to do justice and
show mercy. He leaves his family the
rich heritage of an upright and devoted
life. He served his church we'll, he
served his neighbors we'll, he serv-
ed his county we'll, and one OF
the last deeds of his life was a
simple service of faithfulness to his
party-a seemingly small act; but
to Captain Patrick there were no
small duties. If it was duty, 1t was
duty, and he would discharge 1t, no
matter how small or insignificant 1t
might seem. He died. we feel sure,
Just as he would have wished to die
in the bosom Of his family, in the full
possession of his faculties, ripened In
the service of God and his fellowman,
at the close of the Sabbath day, quick
i Iy, quietly, easily. In viewing such
| life and character these words from
Holy Writ come naturally at the close
of this brief tribute:2 Mark the per-
