POISONING CASE AT SEATTLE.

Seattle, July 16.-Monday Mrs. An
ME Null died suddenly of hemorrhage
OF the stomach. Tuesday her three
year-old daughter died of the same
complaint. Investigation by the coro-
ner disclosed the fact today that both
mother and child We're killed by an
lrrltant poison. The fact that the

visitors. The third Of the simulta-
neOus meetings was held in the COM
mOdiOus Central NJ E. church, where
a pragram similar 10 that of the other
two meetings was carried out. DR.,
J. H. Potts. D. D., of the Michigan
Christian Advocate, welcomed the

twentieth century movement of the
NJ E. churches. raising vast fund
of $4,000. 900
One of the most significant features
of the convention is the absence Of
sectional and denominations feeling,
and the spirit of unity prevails. Many
Of the most noted visitors are unhesi-
tatingly in favor of wiping out the
lines that separate the southern and
northern divisions of the Methodist
Episcopal churches. This will prob
ably not be discussed in the confer
ence. but it is frequently made the
topic Of conversation in fraternaI
gatherings of northern and southern
delegates.
History Of the League.
The EpwOrth League occupies the
same place in the Methodist church
that the Baptist Young Peoples Union
does in the Baptist church. The
league was organized in Cleveland, O..
May y. 1890. Prior to that time
there had been a number Of young
peoples societies bearing various
names in the thousands of Methodist
churches over the country. but each
was more or less Independent of the
others. although all had nearly the
same object in view, that object, which
now dominates the combined league
and fOrmulates its universal and
l0be-encircIing motto: Look Up;
Lift Up; All for Christ
The local organizations in the varl-
Gus churches are called chapters. Of
these already organized and enrolled
the number is more than 10000. The
aggregate membership reaches nearly
one million and a half. In it's spirit
and form the league was found to be
consonant with the genius OF Meth
odism and so well adapted to the end
for which it was designed that the
Methodist church of Canada as well
as the Wesleyan Methodists OF Great
Britain have adopted it. Branches
have also been established in Mexico,
Norway. South America, Germany,
Sweden. italy. in China and Japan
and even in the jungles Of India.
