NEW YORK, July 9f.AGeorge w.
Powers and Frank E. McCouot of Jer-
sey City are not yet of legal age to
vote. but if they could cast a. ballot it
would surely be for the Republican cam
didate for President. Their. vacations
were spent on Long Island recently,
and a fishing trip took them to Oyster
Bay. They had Indifferent luck and lit
tie to compensate them for their trou-
bic in the way of incident. or sport until
young Powers hooked dogfsh.. Strive
as both could. it was beyond their eff
forts to get the prize into their boz :.
They eXerted every means within reacn
and tried every way in vain; and were
about to give up the task when their
troubles attracted the attention of two
men and a woman in. a boat near by.
They pulled over to the. boys, and one
of the men encouraged the youths to
hold on, coached them and. then lent
them a hand. In few minutes the big
fish was splashing and floundering ia
the bottom of the boys boat; With
many thanks for the assistance given
to them the boys rowed ashore.
Afterward in talking the incident
over it occurred to young Mccouot that
the face of the man who had. assisted
them was familiar. The broad smile
that showed cleaning. rows of teeth,
Eyeglasses and commanding figure, con-
WINGED them that their friend must be
President Roosevelt. Once suggested,
they determined to make conviction
sure, and wrote a joint letter to Oyster
Bay asking Mr.. Roosevelt If their sur
mise was correct. In answer this letter
came back yesterday:
WHITE HOUSE. OYSTER. BAY. - Dear
Young Friends: am glad TO hear from you
and congratulate you upon the fish you caught
the other day. was pleased were able
to help you with the dogish With best wishes,
believe me. sincerely yours

Here Information published by the
State Mining Bureau is being dis
tributed and the reports. and bulletins
OF this department can be consulted
in the. booth erected for that purpose
and information is furnished concern
ing the mineral deposits of the State.

AT one end Of this exhibit has been
placed an old Mexican ladder, used in
the early days; alsosa seron, or heather
bag. which was Used. by the miners
in carrying ores from the raines. Con-
spicuoGsly displayed in Various places
are green silk banners, bordered with
gold, on which are. lettered the value
of and amount OF productions of the
various mineral substances. A Iarga
gilded cube shows the average annual
production of gold in California
Every means has been used through
out the exhibit properly TO label and
display to the best advantage our
minerals. The space occupied IS larger

addition, tanned the wild and fierce
spirits of their fellow pioneers"
Being OF the common people, the
Methodist church has been led to do
for them what their spiritual. intel
iectual and moral welfare demanded.
O61cial action was taken by the Meth
odist preachers in America TO establish
Sunday schools nine years before Rob-
cit Raikes put his Sunday school idea
into practice in England, an idea
which was suggested TO him by the
wife OF Samuel Bradburn, one of Wes-
ley's preachers. Almost Immediately
after the organization of the church
steps were taken for the establishment
of school, and in 1877 Cokesbury col
lege was founded. The Methodist Epis-
copal church alone now has % colleges
ard universities; 80 seminaries and
academies; nine institutions exclusive
ly for women; and % theological insti-
tutions. 1t has built the largest de-
rominational publishing house in the
world. This was begun in 1888, with a
borrowed capital of over 60 500 600. and
does business amounting TO about
three million dollars annually.
The NJ. E. church was one of the first
to undertake foreign missions. Its
first bishop, Thomas Coke, died in 1914,
while on his way to India. and was
/ buried at sea. In 1888 foreign missions
were established in Africa and later
+ in all foreign countries. Ii now has
in the various fields 552 foreign mis-
sionaries. LIZ native preachers and
/ about one hundred and thirty thou
sand members.
The quadrennial sessions of the gen.
eral conference are always interesting
and important That 10 be held in Los
Angeles will be one of the most i'm
portant. Among the subjects 10 be
/ considered will be the proposed con-
solidation of the benevolent societies.
the uniication of the publishing houses
and the election of bishops. Two bish-
ops have died during the quadrennium
Bishops w. Y. Ninde and ]. F. Hurst
and one-Bishop S. NJ Merrill. of
Chicaso-has announced his intention
TO ask the general conference To give
him a superannuated relation. Three
new bishops. at least, will therefore be
elected, probably more
