 -s-. N. VI. Smith nj introduced al sssolltion looking to the read i,,stment of conference lines so ssto have only two conferences in the state, instead of three. This is an interesting item of business, and will cause quite a good deal of discussion. This question was made the order of business for 10 o'clock tomorrow.
 Dr. Stonewall Anderson, presi- dent of Hendrix college. was in- trQ.luced to the conference. He made a speech relative to the work of the educational institu- tion of which he is president. The school is doing a better work than ever before, and on broad CT scale. Hendrix college has a larger attendance than in any previous year. The future for the school is bright.
 These conference occasions are not without their joyous sur prises, and, sometimes, surprises that are not so joyous. When the name of Rev. M. M. Smith, ! presiding elder of the Searcy dis trict was called, Rev. J. W. Smith of Newport announced that he had something against Brother Smith, after which he, on behalf of the district, pre- sented Mir. Smith with a beauti- full gold watch and Mrs M M. Smith with two sets of spoons. l 7 Sae Batesvilig station presented Rev. W. B. Hays a check over and above his salary as presidingI elder.
 Toe sessions of conference are being held in the commodious courtroom of the Lawrence coun- l ty court house. This is necessary because of the large crowds who attend.

The forest reserve as at present
administered is nuisance. Prop

probably is a bl nssing. The
people who are living in the
vicinity of the present proposed
reserve had better start in with
thef protest if they expect to
head off this big reserve that is

On Hart's Island Commissioner Hynes first
conducted the party TO a building in a wretched
state of dilapidation. It was bad that a
chorus of aldermanic voices cried, There must
be an appropriation for this" Commissioner
Eynes smiled bIandIy and said: Gentlemen,
that was the condition OF every building this
island when il came into the possession Of this
department. Without any special appropria-
ton for the purpose we have bought the small
amount of material required, and with the labor
OF the prisoners have put all the other build

highly complirnented-
The last place visited here was the stone pile
ated TO keep the crippled ''panhandlers' en-
ployed. Many familiar figures on Broadway
and Park Row were seen there working for the
first time within the memory Of any visitor.
Warden Fox and his wife welcomed the party
to the workhouse at BlackwelFs Island, where
they had ready two long tables laden with good
cheer. After luncheon the departments OF the
vorkhouse were inspected. and then Comrnis-
sioner Hynes surrendered the direction Of af-

Mr.. Taylor said:
ssAIr Keene never offered 20 sell his personal

10 sell out and carried his offer into effect he
would have broken his faith TO Wall Street

rying this story around the Stock Exchange TO-
day trying to keep stockholders from giving me
