PLAN CHANGES IN LESSONS.
Suggestion b efOre Int rnafi onaI SUN.
day School Convention for Grad
ed Lesson Studies

Denver, COL, June Bob. B. Tyler,
the newly-elected president, called the
morning session of the international
Sunday school convention to order Sat-
urday. Rev. N. E. Dunning, of Boston,
in reading the report of the lesson COM
mittee, recounted the work of the COM
mittee formulating uniform Sunday
school lesson for use throughout the
world, and dwelt upon the great ben
eft derived in theway of educa ting the
youth in the history Of the Bible. The
suggestion that the lesson text be not
printed in the lesson 1eaflet, but that
the student be referred to pages inthe
Bible for the text, was applauded. The
most important innovation recon-
mended was a graduation of classes in
Sunday schools. The plan proposed
was that primary, intermediate and
senior classes be formed with a special
course in study provided for each class,
a period of six years attendance upon
one class being required for advance
ment to another. The present course
shalrbe the one for study by the inter-
mediate class.
The nominating committee an
nounced, amid great applause, the
name of W. II. Hartshorn, of Boston,
as chairman of the executive commit
tee. Unanimous approval of the re-
port followed.

aged by Unprecedent Period
of Wet Weather.

Decatur, H., June 3O.-Two inches
of rain fell in the last "a hours, caus-
ing serious damage to wheat and
oats just ready for harvest, and
some damage to the new railroad
between Decatur and Springfield.
Bloomington, ILL.,, June 30.-All
weather records in central Illinois
are being broken this year. Rain has
been aflling steadily for "a hours,
approaching cloudburst in extent
at times. At intervals Friday night
snow fell while the temperature
dropped to As degrees. But for the
rain there would have been frost.
Excess of moisture this summer has
given all class Of crops serious
backset. The oats harvest is past
due, but the heads are blighted by
long continued raifa1l and the crop
will be seriously curtailed. Hay
crop also will be light, dut to lack
of sunshine to cure the grass. Corn
is hardly far enough advanced to de-
termine the damage, but it will be
effected somewhat. -
Galesburg, Ill, June 30.-Three and
yone-half inches of rain has, fallen in
Knox county during the past "a hours.
The damage to oats and wheat, it is
estimated, will reach $50, 900.

He at her home in this city in J une,
1900, was found gull y Of murder in the
second degree Saturday The jury

The present trial has been on for
ten days. The case was given to the

verdict had been reached and Miss
Morrison, accompanied by her fa-.
Their and brother Hayward, soon en-
tered the courtroom. AS the fore
man finished reading the verdict
Miss Morrison turned pale, threw
her, arms around her aged fathers
neck, hid her head on his shoulder
and both wept bitterly. Later in her
cell, Miss Morrison refused to talk
other than, to say that she had not
expected a conviction, adding: "The
judge was against me from first to
last" .-= @~-
Half dozen ballots were taken.
One stood six for first degree MUIR
der, five for second degree murder
and one for third degree manslaugh-
ter.
The jury made no suggestion of
punishment. The matter of appeal
will be taken up early next week
when it is believed Miss Morrison
will be sentenced.

KING EDWARD STRICKEN.

Surgical Operation and Life
Is in Danger.
CORONATION SERVICES ARE POSTPONED
Intense Anxiety Prevails as to the
Outcome - Latest Bulletin Gives
Hopes of Recovery The Queen
Bears UP Well Under the shock
The Latest News. 81

London, June 25.-With dramatic
suddenness the king has been stricken
down upon the eve Of his coronation.
To-day he lies in critical state at
Buckingham palace. Indescribable
CONSERVATION prevails through out the
country, and the CONSERVATION is re-
fected in the cablegrams received from
all the centers Of the universe.
Coronation Postponed.
A brief notice has been published
in the Gazette, as a result of which
the entire state, social and business ar
rangements throughout the country
are paralyzed. The order is dated
from the earl marshaFs Office, and
reads as follows: II have to announce
that the solemnity Of the coronation
of their majesties, King Edward VII.
and Queen Alexandra is postponed
from the Goth to date hereafter to be
determined" The best inf ormed opin-
ion places the date of the coronation
in about three months time, provided
King Edward progresses we'll in the
meantime. @ ~ H. =
, Operation Performed.
The kings ailment is what is known
as perityphlitis, which is inhammat ton,
including the formation of an abscess,
of the tissue around the yermif orm ap-
pendix and is hard to distinguish at
once from appendicitis. The trouble
is in the right side, low down. Under
ordinary circumstances, he ought to
recover in three or four weeks, but
after recovery it would perhaps be four
weeks more before he would be able
to perform his part in the coronation
ceremony. King Edwards condition
became so alarming Monday night that
an operation was decided upon, and
shortly before two o'clock Tuesday
afternoon his majesty was moved
from his couch to the operating table.
and the anesthetic was administered.
Sir Frederick Treves made the incision
near the patients groin, and carried
it upwards, with an outward slant, for
nearly four inches. The obstruction
was removed and a tubing was placed
in the affected intestine.
Much More Hopeful.
London, June 26.-The following
bulletin was issued after II o'clock
Wednesday night:
''The king continues to make satisfactory
progress. He slept some hours during the
day. He complains very little of discom-
fort and is more cheerful. The wound is
doing well.

TREATY SIGNED.
Denmark Sells Her Possessions in
West Indies to This
Country.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The treaty of
cession of the Danish West Indies from
Denmark to the United States was signed
at the state department yesterday
by Secretary Hay and Constantin Brun,
the Danish minister. The treaty will be
submitted to the senate for ratification
Immediately.
Following the invariable rule in such
cases. the state department officials de-
cline to make public any of the details
of the treaty, so that it is not possible to
state positively the price to be paid, al
though this is believed to be in the neigh
borhood of $5,0O0, 900.
It is known also that Denmark has
abandoned the position she was inclined
to occupy toward the conservation Of the
political rights of the inhabitants of the
islands and leaves to the United States
a free hand to deal with them without
pledge of American citizenship or of free
trade privileges. So it is assumed that
the status of the Danish West Indian
islands, politically and commercially
should the treaty be ratified, will be sim.
liar to that of Porto Rico. Having gained
these points in the negotiations the state
department officials belive the treaty Ii
certain to receive the approval OF the
United States senate.

pany and president of the Great Northern
railway, testified for three and one
