Presiding elders of the New Jersey
Methodist conference met last week in
the First NJ, e. church, Trenton, and
discussed the conditions Of the confer
ence, preparatory to presenting reports

Atlantic City in March.
Arrangements for the appointment
of committees by the next conference
were discussed and probable changes
in pastorates throughout New Jersey
were talked Of Nothing concerning
the proposed changes would be given
to the pnblie, because of lack of GER
tainty as to just what is to be done.
The elders present were the Rev.
DIR. William P. Davis, Trenton dis
trict; the Rev. DR.. George H. Dob
bins, Camden district; the Rev. DR..

AbruptEnding.

The Court of Quarter Sessions and
Orphans Court was in session Monday
Judge Trenchard presiding.
The case of the City of Millville
against Joseph Portnoy was moved.
The case was conducted on the part of
the City of Millville by Assemblyman
Louis H. Miller, Millville's City So
licitor. James S. Ware, ESQ.,, defend
ed Portnoy. The young woman in the
case is Ada F. Rogers, Of Millville.
Joseph Portnoy is manager of M.

store.
A jury was empaneled and Mr.
Miller opened the case. He stated
that the case was brought by the
Overseer of the Poor in Millville, in
which Miss Rogers was the complain
ing witness.
Before the case had advanced very
far and while Miss Rogess was on the
witness stand, Juror Elias Bacon was
taken very ill and Sheriff Diament
went to procure some medicine for
him and the Court proceedings were
halted.
The case will be very likely to con.
sumo the day.

Thirty-six Prohibition votes in
Gloucester. That is what the voting
machine there at the last election reg
istered. The Democrats say the possi-
bility of there being thirty-six Pro-
hibiionists in Gloucester is absurd,
and in a bill of complaint fled with
the court they have made this their
strong point.
The constitutionality of the voting
machine will be tested by the Demo-
Gratis, and Lawyer French, in his pe-
tition, says the registering of so many
Prohibition votes in town with the
beer-drinking reputation of Gloucester
shows that voting machines are not to
be relied upon.
He appeared before Judge Endicott,
in Camden, Wednesday and said there
never have resided in Gloucester more
than two Prohibititonists. Bonds for
$50 were entered and the Court will
hear argument within thirty days.

Clever scheme.

Clayton Mcpherson, who has the
North Pearl street apartment house,
has quite recently devised a scheme
by which he can lie in bed, permitting
an ordinary alarm clock with electric
attachments, close up his steam fur
mace in the basement, and have a
warm house when arising time comes.
The invention first embraces an ordi-
nary alarm clock. The clock is set
for any hour that is desired. At the
hour the clock alarm is set off. The
brass key is turned, Of course, by the
clock and in It's turning comes in con-
tact with piece of brass electrically
connected. This closes the circuit,
and the attachments at the furnace,
thus controlled by the electricity,
closes the furnace door and opens the
draught doors and the heat damper
reversed, permitting the heat to go
over the house. 1t usually takes an
hour to thoroughly heat the house, so
if it is desired to have the house warm
by six O'Clock, the alarm Is set for
five and at that time the furnace is
put in working shape.
In Philadelphia the other day a
hardware dealer said the invention
was most complete and that it should
prove Of value to him. A patent has
been applied for by Mr. Mcpherson.

dent of City Council. and that gentle
man has decided that he will do so,
announcing the fact this week. Mr..

didate for the nomination subject to

Hard Working Pastor.

Pitman, N. j., Dec. 1.-THE Rev.
q. Walker, pastor of the Methodist
Protestant church at Monroeville, be-
lieves that the full burden of support
ing minister of the gospel should
not fall on his congregation. During
the day he manages a large farm, fre-
quently working in the fields with his
men; but during the evening farm
work is forgotten while Mr.. Walker
drives many miles to conduct .relig-
ious services.
That the Rev. Mr.. Walkere ideas as
to who should support him are appre-
ciated by his congregation is shown
by the fact that he was recently re-
turned to his present charge for an
other year by unanimous request of
the members of his church.
The ever-increasing membership,
prosperous condition of his church
and the overfiowing barns at the
Walker farm show that he is able to
combine the two successfully.
Mr.. Walker on Sunday drives thir-
ty-five miles to reach the church where
he breaches, besides making the trip
several times during the week.

pealing the Missouri
Compromise.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-"There is in
volved in the eight-hour bin the same
dynamite with which was charged the
measure repeating the Missouri compro-
mise asserted Daniel Davenport, repre-
senting the Anti-Boycott Association of
America, in the hearing of that bill to-
day before the Senate committee edu-
cation and labor. He suggested this for
the consideration of the committee, and
declared that if the bill was enacted into
law the effect of interfering with the in
herent right of the individual would wreck
the party which fostered it, Mr.. Davenport
asserted that the great mass of the work
ingmen do not want the legislation being
forced upon them by the men who have
come here in favor of the eight-hOur bill.
James O'Connell. president of the Inter-
national Associa ton of Machinists and
vice president OF the American Federation
of Labor, defended his position in support
of the bill and that of other labor leaders
who have appeared in favor of it. \. f.
Mcintyre. of Philadelphia, representing
printing establishments. spoke in opposition
10 the bill. The committee adjourned until
next Tuesday.
