No Union with Catholics.

ST. Petersburg, July 19.-M. Pobyed-
onosteff, procurator of the Holy Synod,
said to-day to the representative of
the Associated Press:
Pope Leo XIII. has many admirers
in Russia. He is the most eminent
person in the political world to-day,
not only on account of his position, but
equally because of his character. The
Emperor greatly desired to meet Pope
Leo last spring. but his visit to Rome
was deferred. But while we all respect
the Pope and the great church whose
head he is, we cannot take into con-
sideration union with the Roman
Catholic Church of which Pope Leo,
like many of his predecessors, hoped
and dreamed"
The procurator of the Holy Synod is
aging, but is alert, both mentally and
physically. He still maintains a COM
plete grasp of the affairs of the ortho
dox Greek Church, with its multitudin
Gus relations to politics and life in Rus
STA.
The department of foreign worship In
the ministry confirms the statement
that the relations with the Roman
Church under the present Pope have
been more satisfactory than previous

where it IS believed that his election
would mean a continuance of the pres
ent good relations.

Almost every time that order is reached
and general bills are called UP for pas
sage, 1t is discovered that the House
is rather thin" one. Members who
are not particularly interested in the
measures under discussion, sometimes
stroll out in the Hobbies or go else
where, and those whose bills come up
Tor passage, if the least opposition IS
manifested to them. have them placed
on the table to save defeat. The in
dlcatlons are that many more bills than
came over from the session of 1902, will
go over to that of 1904. There are now
ABOUT 300 general bills on the House
calendar. The House has passed on
an average of about one each day so
rar as the session has gone. At the
same rate there is a chance for about
twenty-five more to go through before
nnal adjournment.
The Senate has kept we'll up with its
work. There are several railroad bills
before it now which the committees are
considering, and a number of local bills
which have passed the House. The Sen
ate could dispose of the business be-
fore 1t within a few hours It is still
waiting to hear something of more gen
eral interest from the House.
The Rome Dispensary.
Perhaps the most interesting local
measure to come before this session is
the bill by Messrs. Ennis and Knowles
Of Floyd, providing for a re-submis-
sion to the people of the question of
"dispensary or no dispensary." This
bill proposes to let the people of Floyd
county vote for or against the return
of barrooms.
The House Committee on TEMPER
ance will have a hearing on the meas
ure tomorrow afternoon, and from
present indications the committee
meeting will have to be held in the hall
of the House of Representatives to
make room for the crowd. 1t is said
delegations of Romans numbering in
the aggregate 100 or more. will be here,
some to protest against the measure,
others to urge it's passage. Hon Sea-
born Wright, the author of the bill I'M
der which the present dispensary sys-
tenn was inaugurated, will head large
delega ton in opposition to the meas
ure. The authors of the present bill
claim majority of the people of Floyd
are anxious to get rid Of the dispen-
sary, and say they will present a nu-
merously signed petition to that effect.
The hearing promises to be one of the
warmeSt of the session.

MONTICELLO NEWS NOTES.

Escaped Convict Captured-D. III.
Mays for Governor.
Monticello, Fla, July 19.-Sheriff Kill
patrick of this county captured Thomas
Wade, an escaped convict from the
turpentine camp of Downing & Blount,
where he was sent last October from
Taylor county for five years. Wade
has been at large since May 20, and
a reward of 500 was out for his ar
rest.
Prohibition is being agit~ted in this
(Jefferson) county, and for the first
time since Monticello has been town,
it is very likely the matter will be
submitted to the people. The general
opinion seems to be that the town
will go dry and the county wet with
the ultimate result in the dark.
The shipment of pears from Month
cello, which is now at it's hight, is the
largest in years. The returns so far
have been quite satisfactory.
Daniel A. Flinlayson, Mayor of Mon
ticello, and one of the most promi-
nent citizens of this section, has, after
three years in construction completed
the handsomest residence in Middle
Florida. It is a credit to Monticello
and becomes the show place of the
town.
1t is expected that Hon. D. H. Mays
will very shortly announce his cam
didacy for the governorship of Flor
ida. Prominent politicians say that
Mr.. Mays is the strongest man in
Florida in connection with the COVER
norship and that he Will secure the

Saxon race is a fostering of the mon
strous traffic in intoxicants. We be-
leve the complete Northumberland

that threaten us and clear up prob
lens that perplex us.
This whole evil organization is a
fountain of iniquity whose streams
poison wherever they flow 1t has no
redeeming feature. 1t is an environ
ment of perdition, hence we set our
faces against this enemy of God and
will give it no quarter in social life,
in politics-in fact, nowhere until 1t
is relegated to its own place.
1--WE regard the Christian Sabbath as
the bulwark of defense for our Chris

Sabbath endangers everything of i'm
portance to the church of God.
I'VE recognize ourselves as stew
ards of Gods estate as those who eX-
pect to give an account. The calls of

can Minstrels.
The first performance will be given
this evening at o'clock and the Sa-

cafe accommodations, has a charming
rathskeller, a salt swimming pool

sea breeze, and other things that make
up a tip-top resort, makes 1t one OF
the most popular places of the kind in
the South. Besides appearing each
evening during the week the minstrel
folks will do their stunts at matinees
tomorrow, Thursday and Saturday.

Detroit, Mich, July 19-With seven
meetings, all splendidly attended, the
sixth international convention of the
Epworth League, which DR.. j. F.
Berry and other officers of the league
say has been the greatest and most
successful in the leagues history, came
to a close. Denver was decided on
for the next convention.
The same programme was followed
at all of the meetings tonight. Ad-
dresses We're made on three subjects,
Christ, Our King" His Conquering
Kingdom" and MY Place in the
Army" followed by waiting hour for
the descent of the Holy Spirit"
Official Resolutions.
The official resolutions of the con-
vention were adopted by each meet
ing. They were as follows:
THE young Methodism of North
America, as represented in this con-
Vention of more than 10000 delegates,
reflects the spirit and voices the SEN
timent of 100000 of Epworthfans.
Our deliberations have known no
OllLCIGuNGS. we rejoice Ill the
continued growth and increasing use
fulness of the young peoples society
of the churches.
"As in the past, we stand for the
broadest Christian fraternity. We hail
with special satisfaction every oppor-
tunity for practical cooperation with
our young peoples societies in Chris
tan ministry and service.
THE Epworth League is not merely
young peoples movement, neither is
it to be looked upon as a separate de-
partment of the church. 1t aims to be
an embodiment of all the activities of
our church, complete manifestation
of the spirit of our common Methodism.
First i'll Importance among ques-
tons claiming our attention we place
the systematic and devout duty of the
Scriptures both before our spiritual
growth and to give fitness for soul
winning. We consider ourselves called
to the work of personal evangelism, and
we enjoin all our members to enter the
fields now white for harvest. We stand
for present, abundant and con-
scious salvation as essential to that
power of witnessing which wins men.
We thus send out to the young hosts of
our united Methodism this appeal for
prayer-a holy waiting at the morning
watch, pleading of the promises of
the open book for a revival which
may mean to the twentieth century
what the revival of Wesley was to the
eighteenth century and to the world.
ITO remain ignorant or Indifferent to
the cause of missions is to sin against
light and to ignore God. We, a part
of Christ's great army, place at His
instant disposal our means, our serv-
ice and ourselves, that the world may
be evangelical in our generation.
