Snow And SIeet Follows Close
Iy Warm Rains And Spring
Weather.
Thermometer FALLS
Snow Fell Fast For Several FOurs Bui
Ceased BY One O'clock, May Not DAM
age Fruit As Much As Wight Be Ex-
peoted Cold North Wind Sent ShIvers
Through Everyone.

The weather man is having fun
with us today. He started off with a
soft, gentle rain, south winds and
every thing springlike. He evidently
became so delighted with the brand
new style of weather that he got ex-
cited and the belt slipped on the new
shafting and began grinding the other
way.
The accident happened about ii
o'clock this morning when, instead of
the gentle rain, snow and sleet began
to fall. 1t was hard to believe at first
but it was true and by noon, regular
snow storm had set in. 1t was not on
the style of an April shower either.
There was no squirt about it, The
wind was blowing a gale from the
north and the flakes fell so thick and
fast that people had to walk with
their eyes shut. OF course there was
the usual talk about blizzard and
1883 was heard once or twice, but only
the brave ones ventured the remark.
The thermometer had very severe
shock. This morning about o'clock
the mercury was away up and seemed
to be greatly pleased with the general
appearance of things. Trees were
building, the grass was looking green
and fresh and some of the early flow
ers had begun to blossom.
Old boreas, however, was hanging
about waiting a good chance and sud
denly he dealt the mercury a blow
which sent it to the bottom of the
thermometer so hard that it nearly
broke the machine. Those who went
to work in their spring outfits hurried
home and got their ovorcoats up around
their ears.
The snow ceased about 1 o'clock
and the damage to fruit, which might
be expected, may yet be averted.

CONVENTION
AT M. E. CONFERENCE
Two Addresses Given Good Show
ing Of The Twentieth Cen
fury Fund.

The laymen's convention Of the
Methodist conference now in session
at Newark, met in st. Paul's church,
that city, yesterday afternoon. 1t
was attended by J. E. Noe and George
d. Runyon, from Simpson M. e.
Church. There were about 300 other
delegates present. Two speakers
occupied most of the time. One spoke
on Money" and the other on" Time. y
both having reference to the business
men.
The work at the conference is pro-
crossing satisfactorily. Rev. John A.
Gutteridge submitted the report for
the committee ON the Goth century
fund, which was created at the con-
ference of 1899, by the election of the
four presiding elders. two preachers
and two laymcn from each district.
The commission organized, he said,
by electing Milton e. Blanchard,
PRESIDENT himself, secretary and
John M. Gwinnell, treasurer. At the
death of She last named, he was re-
placed by William S. Robinson.
A general convention was held in
Newark in 1899 and books and sub
scription cards were distributed, and
numerous sectional meetings have
been held.
The expense of these matters was
about $40O, which was raised by ad-
vertising in the souvenir books issued.
1.-THE returns from this outlay and
personal work on the part of the COM
mission says the report, as report
ed to the secretary, are as follows !:
Centenary fund and Preachers Aid
Association, 1870; conference board
of church extension, Sc. 497 Centenary
Collegiate Institute, $4,000: Drew
Theological Seminary. $4,000; The
American University, Ss,087; Wesley

and parsonage debts, Elizabeth dis
trict, $65, S0l; Jersey City, $6s, ,695
Newark, $l57, 921; Paterson, $52, $685.
Thestotal for the Newark Conference
for all objects included in the appeal
for four years was $59S, 893.
Conversions during the four years
have been reported as follows: Eliza
beth district, 1857; Jersey City, 4, 4S1 ;
Newark, 1854; Paterson, 3,69S. 1t is
calculated that there are about $4,000
members and nrobationers in the con-
ference, which would make CONVEX
sions in the proportion of one to three
The sum of nearly 5000, 900 given to
the cause by the Newark Conference
is rate of giving of $l2. so per mem
Der. The total amount contributed
by the entire Methodist Episcopal
Church in the four years has been in
the neighborhood of $21, 600, 900 and
this means am .verage of 50 per mem
ber. If the Newark Conference aver
age had prevailed, the grand total
would have been $37, 800, 900.

The Vision and Hearing of Reptiles.

From Success.
The best sense that reptiles have Is that
of sight, according to a Viennese naturalist
named Werner, who has recently published
the results of observations on nearly two
hundred snakes. lizards frogs, etc. But
even this sense is very dull A crocodile
cannot see man more than six times Its
own length away. while fish can see only
about half their own length. Snakes are
still worse off. Some can see a quarter or
their length away. while others are limited
to one-fifth or one-eighth. Frogs are much
keener-sighted. They can tell what Is going
on at a distance of fifteen or twenty times
their own length. Most reptiles are nearly
or quite deaf: but. in COMPENSATION. all.
according to Werner. seem to have mar
yelous sense of the direction in which water
lies They will make a bee line for it, even
when so far away that no sense known to
us would help them. Werner thinks this
due to some sort of attraction akin to
chemical action; but he cannot explain how
or why 1t takes place.

Correctly. BY Rossiter Johnson. New York D.
Appleton 4 Co.
Rossiter Johnson has sufficient prestige
as a rhetorician to warrant the acceptance
of this convenient compendium of good
usage as reliable guide in emergencies and
doubt. The arrangement is convenient the
alphabetic classification of the words
phrases and subjects discussed facilitating
ready reference. The authors advice tends
to the correction of the errors of laxity in
speech and composition which are DUE in
large part, to the rapidity of modern
thought and expression, and the fondness
with which people utilize a succinctly de-
scriptive slang word or phrase. His sug-
gestions are sound and not strained to the
point of purism. Many pages are devoted
to the subject of poetry, which convey in
brief clear idea of the differences between
the various poetic mediums. The chapter
on elocution briefly reviews the principles
Of that art and indicates to the reader the
lines Of further research. Taken altogether.
this is a most useful book, whether or not
the possessor have occasion for writing or
public reading.

THOSE TEN MILLIONS.

The New York World has raised tho
question, why should we pay ten mil
lion dollars to Panama for the right
OF way through the lsthmus? or, why
should we pay any sum at all? And,
strange as it may seem, the argument
implied IN this question is gaining
ground 1t is argued that we obtain
no equivalent for the money, but that
we give far more than we receive, by
recognizing the now republic; by pro-
tecting It, policing H. Improving it, and
paying It a rental Of S2jOOOO a year.

4" POOR To-"

One would hardly suppose that the
richest people In the world is an In
dian trlbe--the Usage Indians who in
habit part Of oklahoma. But this Is
said 10 be fact. We are told by
contributor to The World Today that
every one of the 1883 members Of the
tribe has a cash balance Of A,6ii, de-
posted IN the vaults OF Uncle Sans
big bank at Washington, drawing five
per cent interest In addition to this
they have each S57 acres Of land, about
onc-nfth OF which il In good state Of
cultivation and Is worth from $40 to $50
acres, ia leased for pasturage mostly
10 Texas cattlemen, at an average rent
al that gives the land value of s. an
acre to the Indian. But averaging
up the whole at the low valuation of
s. an acre--and this does not take into
consideration the oil, natural gas and
coal TO be found throughout that re-
gion, nor the leap in values that must
follow the several lines Of railway now
being constructed through the reserya-
tlonthe land holdings Of each Usage
are easily worth s6,S56 That Is to say,
very conservative statement of the
wealth Of these people must place It
at not less than 81 800 for every man,
woman and child Of the tribe.
Concerning the tribe the following
account may be Of interest.
"'The tribe comprises seventeen bands.
each having its chief besides whom
there Is the big chief Of the whole tribe,
who, by way OF distinction from the
other lesser chiefs, is given the com
monplace title Of governor He Is
elected by his people every two years,
but the functions OF his high Office are
now almost exclusively social since OF
recent years all legislation for the tribe
is attended TO by the Great Father at
Washington. Ne-kah- wah-she- tun -kah,
the present governor-chlef, belongs to
the Rlll Hill band, whose wlgwams are

alton near Gray Horse. For while many

TO be found there. Yielding to their
strong social Instincts, they dwell much
In wlgWam villages especially in sum
mer time: and there is much visiting
between bands, as well as between the
Osages and otner neighborlng tribes
Fifty years ago the home OF the
Osages was In southern Kansas, where
they owned a STRIP of land fifty miles
wide reaching tw0-thrds of the dis
lance across the state BY and by
Uncle Sam told the Osages that II they
would buy a new homeland from their
Cherokee cousins to the south, he
could take better care OF them down
there. This arrangement pleased the
| Osages, who after few years found
themselves with more land than they
| could possibly use and with upwards
OF eight and a half millions OF dollars
to their credit In the United states
| treasury"
The impression prevails abroad, some-
how, that Uncle Sam has treated the
Indians very hrutally, but the condi-
tion OF these wards Of the nation"
is a testimony to the contrary, so Tar
as that tribe is concerned. No ma.
tons need to fear too close contact
with the United States Prosperity
and liberty go hand in hand.
