MEETING OF LAYMEN.
Delegates Selected to Attend Meth
Odist General Conference.

Park Church yesterday the following dele
gates were elected to attend the General
Conference: j. w. Thompson, indianapolis;
Prof. H.. B. Langdon, Greencastle; DR.. ].
II. Morrison, Huntsville; DR.. B. F. Shep-
herd, P~leasantville; DR.. F. G. Hackelman.
Rushville: Miss A. M. Mayman, Moores
Hill; l.. R. Stoy. New Albany. Alternates

ton; Harry whitcomb. shelbyville; G. J.

Milan; NJ. d. Reeves, Charlestown; w. d.
Cooper. Indianapolis; Jesse j. NJ. La Fol-
lette, Indianapolis.
James L. Watson, of Rushville, presided
as chairman of the lay conference, and
Miss B. A. Spangler, of Utica, acted as
secretary. Numerous resolutions were Of
fered and adopted. One was on the tenn
perance question. 1t was to the effect that
the Methodists make their theoretical views
on the liquor question more practical and
the principal thought in the resolution vas
that 1.-The saloon must Co."
The conference instructed it's delegates
to oppose any action looking to a revoca-
ton of Section 24S. which relates to dane
ing. card playing and theater going. Four
years ago at the General Conference an at
tempt was made to strike out this rule and
a vote on the question was very close. 1t
is suspected that another attempt will be
made to do away with the rule and the
Indiana bfethodists hope to help thwart
such an attempt. The laymen expressed
themselves by resolution as being unalter-
ably opposed to card playing. dancing and
the theater.
Another resolution thanked Mr.. Watson
for his kindness in presiding over the body.

The Rev. George Elliott, of Detroit, de-
livered his lecture On 1.-THE Atonement' at
the morning session of the conference. and
Bishop Joyce addressed a class of new can
didates who were applying for admission to

ence r. Stout, Marion McIver, Philip w
Coryes, Clouds b. Sylvester, Victor b. Har-
gift, Allen A. Helens, Homer Manuel. Al
bert w. Shields and John Asher. The
bishop gave them some good advice. He
told them TO preach on the subjects per-
church., and warned them not to gossip.
He further told them to preach as simply
as a child, and advised them to study daily
If they desired to speak with freshness and
effect. Bishop Joyce remarked that ''p0v-
erty has developed more men into great,
useful men than money In itself has ever
done" The bishop declared that 'any boy
can graduate from college If he has the
real grit, and it is his duty TO do it."

and the trained nurse at the bedside. The
clergymen about the bed raised their voices
i'm a hymn and i'm the stilled moments that
followed the field secretary let his mind go
beyond the sea TO a scene in a wretched
Indian hut. A native lay dying on the bare
floor of the miserable room. Gathered about
him were the witch doctors making the
scene the more hideous with their wretched
incanta tions. Some were actually laying
the whip to the quivering flesh OF the suf-
ferer. THESE people did not know any
better eloquently declared the speaker,
but they have a right TO know better.
God had this in mind when He said to the
disciples, Go We into all the world and tell
them"
Mr.. Floyd described the wretched condi-
ton of women in foreign lands; The men
have opportunities far above the women.
"An educated Chinaman." he said, "is one
of the politest men you'll see on the face
of the earth" He told of visiting the pail
aces of the royalty in foreign lands, where
not a woman's face was visible. a Malay
woman coming along the street and meet
ing a man must cover her face unless the
man be her father or brother. 1.-The men"
he said, have not a high appreciation of
womankind." He told how one native was
much astonished when he found that Mrs.
Floyd could play a musical instrument.
And his amaZement was extreme when he
learned that she had assisted in making
the gown she wore. He told Mr.. and
Mrs. Floyd that he had but one wife and
that he had given so many buffalo for her.
He said be would get another just as soon
as it was possible for him TO afford an
additional luxury of this kind. Mrs. Floyd
remarked TO MIN that she would be very
much depressed should her husband bring
another wife home. The native was again
astonished. You are afflicted with Jeal-
ousy," he said, and proceeded to lecture
her for having this bad quality. Ninety
nine out of every hundred women in India
and China can neither read nor WRITE" de-
clared Mr.. Floyd. Il wan you to see the

finite pathos of it all. Women of thirty
years with minds of children of seven, with
all the passions-envy, hate, jealousy, full
developed. If 1t is true that the hand that
rocks the cradle rules the world it is essen
tial that the women of the Orient be
brought out into the sunshine. There is not
a woman in this land whether she has been
converted to Christ or not who should not
go down on her knees every day with the
overwhelming conviction that it is all to
Christ she owes" In closing Mr.. Floyd de-
clared that there is no power that can lift
up these distressed people of the Orient
but the power of the gospel.

in Orange county who died leaving a family
of twenty-five children. That's a wonder
full district. remarked Bishop Joyce.
The Rev. HI. c. Clippinger, of Vincennes
district. made his report. He compIimented
Frank Mcclure. of Bruceville. who is at the
head OF the laymen of the district for eff
cient service. Smallpox, frequent rains and
muddy roads interfered with revival work.
But little change in the membership of the
district was reported. Tn presiding elder
said that the superannuated collections
were better during the year than in former
years. ~Freelandville has a $1,000 church
nearly ready for dedication. and in the year
$4,000 was spent in improving church prop
erty including parsonages. The assertion
OF Mr.. Clippinger that he had kept his ap-
pontments without riding on a single Sun
day train in four years was applauded.
TOLD A GOOD STORY.
The elder provoked much merriment
among the preachers by telling a story of
how he and another pastor had tried to
get somewhere one day over a very muddy
road. His companions horse, after
struggling along for a time, slipped and
fell. The rider was half buried in the
mud. but was not injured. He did not
utter a harsh word to the mare, but re-
marked with emphasis. Kate. If you ever
do that thing again III sell you to a
Campbellite preacher"
The last presiding elders report to be
called for was that of j. NJ. Baxter, of the
Seymour district. He was g~ratifed to re-
port a prosperous condition of the district
i'm a general way. 1.-The mudways have
given way to good turnpikes and our peo-
pie ride in rubber-tired buggies of the most
improved type" he said. Mr.. Baxter said
thai % per cent. of the probationers of the
year had been accepted. The annual at
tendance at Sunday school, class meetings
and devotional meetings of the Epworth
League is better than for years. The report
brought glad tidings to the conference in
regard to Wall-street Church, Jefferson
vile, the debt of which has at last been
provided for. Mr.. Baxter reported that
his district in the last two years has in
creased it's mission offerings 500.
A motion was made TO invite Governor
Durbln to one of the sessions. II amend
that motion so il will include both of our
United States Senator's, who are Meth
odists., said the Rev. E. b.. Rawls. The
Rev. Joshua Stansfeld and the Rev. M.
B. Hyde were appointed a committee to
extend this invitation.

FAKE BOILER INSPECTORS.


State Factory Inspector McAbee has been
receiving numerous letters lately from per-
sons in different parts CT the State COM
planning of visits of fake boiler inspectors.
These agents claiming that they are COM
missioned boiler inspectors of the State,
have been calling on many of the factory
owners in small towns and demanding that
they have their boilers inspected and charg-
ing from 81 to $40 for making the inspection
themselves. Mr.. McAbee says that there is
no commissioner boiler Inspector in the
State, and that the work is under a law
which requires that boilers must be in
spected internally once in six months by a
practical boilermaker of not less than five
years experience, or a practical engineer
who has had not less than ten years ex-
perience with steam boilers carrying not
less thar seventy pounds pressure per
square inch. The scheme of representing
that they are specially commissioned
agents is often resorted to, and these
agents, working i'm small towns where the
owners are not familiar with the methods
of inspection. find quite a graft.

M'BRIDE WELCOMED DEATH.
Domestic Differences and Ill Health
Made Him Tired OF Life.

Newton j. Mcbride. II South Senate ave-
nue., became tired of life yesterday evening
and ended his existence by taking a large
dose of carbolic acid. He was found dead in
his bed by a friend who called to see him,
and the police were at once notified. DIR.
%Jeffries, of the City Dispensary. removed
the body to the morgue in the ambulance,
but it was later turned over to the young
mans relatives for burial. DR.. Jeffries said
that Mcbride had probably been dead about
five hours when his body was discovered.
Domestic differences and i'll health caused
the man TO take the poison, and he lett
several letters to relatives and friends bid
ding them farewell Several weeks ago Mrs.
Mcbride left her husband and went TO live
at 10 North Noble street, refusing to return
10 the home she mad left, though often en-
treated TO do so. After urging his wife to
again live with him he decided that death
would be more welcome than life. McBrfde's
mother lives in Bloomington, ILL.,, and she
was last night notified of her sons death.

Fight Broke Up the show.

About fifteen diminutive ~pickaninies
were the witnesses in the case against Mrs.
Mary Austin in Justice Shocks court yes
terday. She was charged with assault
and battery upon Harold Baldwin.
The little colored boys were having a
show in the neighborhood of Chicago street
in North Indianapolis. Young Austin took
the part of a bear and Harold Baldwin
the part of a dog" When the carpet cur
tain went UP the bear appeared on the
stage and was Immediately attacked by the
dog who commenced TO chew the
bears ear. The bear at once set up
a howl and his mother, hearing the cries,
made her appearance and seeing her SON
was getting the worst of the argument
proceeded to take the dog over her knee.
By this time everything was in an uproar,
and the show was broken UP. When the
mother of the boy impersonating the dog,
Mrs. Baldwin, heard the matter 1t resulted
in the arrest of Mrs. Austin, and Justice
Smock fined her l cent and costs. The costs
were RENTED.

MANY PRECINCT MEETINGS
WORK PRELIMINARY TO TAKING
THE THIRTY-DAY POLL.
Republican Poll Will Probably Be
Completed Monday-Comments ON
walters Speech.

Precinct meetings were held by both Re-
publicans and Democrats last evening all
over the city, preliminary to the work Of
taking the thirty-day poll, which will be
commenced this morning. The poll books
were distributed and Instructions from the
heads of the respective organizations
issued.
1t is thought that the poll will be com
Republican workers, and then after the
figures have been compiled Chairman Logs
don will turn his attention to the active
campaign. which will be taken up imme-
diately.
Mayor Bookwalter's keynote speech, de-
livered Thursday night in the Fourth ward,
was practically the sole topic of CONVEX
sation yesterday among men interested in
the municipal campaign. Comments were
varied, according to the partisanship of
those who made them, but. while Demo-
Gratis and others opposed 10 the mayor af-
fected TO regard the speech lightly. this
attitude was clearly affectation. and IL was
apparent that in reality the critics of the
administration had been given an eye
opener. They had expected the mayor 10
take the defensive, but instead he assumed
the aggressive i'm an unmistakable manner.
and disconnected his opponents with the
force and logic of his presentation or the
real issues of the campaign. Even more
disconcerting to the critics was the per-
sonnet of the audience that gathered TO
hear the mayor and the unreserved way in
which his auditors applauded and indorsed
every sentence of his address. An effort
was made yesterday 10 show that the au-
dience was composed largely of admins
tration men and active party workers, but
such was not the case There were not n
dozen men who might be classed as repre-
sentatives of the administration or active
party workers, in the audience.
Republicans are naturally jubilant over
the success of the meeting: The slogan,
stand up for indianapolis" has caught at
once the favor of the rank and file of the
party. and it has appealed as we'll to fair
minded Democrats and independents.
