had connected himself with the min
istry of several churches. The Bishop
contended that these ministers ought
to return with the original orders CIV
en- them; that having surrendered these
orders to the ministry with which they
had connected themselves, the confer

respect receive and recognize the or

STARVED TO DEATH.

Our text to-day is the story of the
miser who taught his ass to live on
straw, of which he gave him a smaller
portion every day.
Just as the miser had got him SO
trained as to eat one straw a day
the poor ass died.
He is an ass who starves himself to
death-as thousands are doing, mis-
led by foolish teachers-because their
stomachs have become too weak,
through neglect or disease, to do the
work which nature has provided for
their stomachs to do.
Because the engine is out of gear,
would you consign 1t to the junk
heap?
Why, no! Mend 1t!
Commit slow suicide because your
digestive organs leak?
Certainly not! Take Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
One thing is sure as shooting.
You can never get a new stomach.
You must mend II, or it will lead
you a miserable existence.
The only way to mend it is to take
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
This has been practically and scien-
tifically demonstrated by the many
thousands whom Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets have positively cured, after
every other treatment of medicine,
mineral waters, Pills ana SLOW, SUICIDAL
starvation had failed.
These methods are all unscientific-
therefore false.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are scien-
tific-therefore true and successful.
Having cured so many thousands
many of whom doubtless have suf-
fered more than you do--do we claim
too much when we say that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will surely do good
to you2
Surely not.
Especially when we make II plain
that no promise is made TO cure more
than one disease-Dyspep
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are n
positive cure for just this one disease.
They are a scientific combination OF
ingredients which search out the weak
spots In all the digestive organs and
make them strong and we'll
They have an immediate digestive
action on undigeated food, and thus.
while curing weak organs. they AZ the
same time help them 10 do their work.
They thus stand for all that Ia good
IN the medical treatment OF Dyspep-
STA. and for nothing that II bad.
They are not a fad but a fact
They are safe. pleasant. certain and
permanent. and can be taken By the
most delicate inyailda without fear Of
harmful results.

work for home and foreign missions

1t developed during the address that
Southern Methodism will raise this
year within $150000 of a round 1,000,-
900 for missions. The report of the
work in Cuba and Brazil gave univer-
sal satisfaction to the conference. The
closing remarks of DR.. Lambuth, in
which he referred to the death of his
mother after spending fifty years in
missionary work in China and her
burial in this PARKWAY land, brought
tears to the eyes of many.
DR.. Magath, missionary to the He
brews, was very pleasantly presented
to the conference by the Bishop, Rev.
w. B. Burke of China, Rev. Jones of
the Tennessee conference. and Rev.
Brewton of the Baptist Churcs, this
city, were introduced to the confer
ence.
After various announcements, the
conference was dismissed with the

Jackson in the army register I am
going to do it,"
1t was this way that President
Roosevelt to-day announced to de-
legation of Southern Congressman that
he intended to designate the grandson
of the late General Stonewall Jackson,
G. S. A., for appointment to the Mill
tary Academy at West Point
Among the callers at the White
House this morning were Representa-
tive Lon Livingston Of the Atlanta
district and Professor w. c. Woodland.
Of the Georgia Military Academy.
The object of their visit was to re-
quest the President to appoint Stone
wall Jackson Christian. a grandson of
the great Southern soldier. to cadet
ship at West Point within the gift
of the chief executive.
When the proposition was first made
to the President he said his rule had
been to reserve these appointments
for the sons of men who had served
in the United States Army. When the
President was informed that the
young man was a grandson Of the
famous Southern general, Stonewall
Jackson, and also one of the bright
est students at the Georgia Military
Academy, College Park, Georgia, the
situation appealed to him in an en-
tirely new light.

briefly reviewed. So deeply was the
President impressed with the subject
as presented that he remarked:
1T has been the practice to give
this class OF appointments to the sons
OF army officers only but am going
to make an exception in this case

Jackson in the army register am go
Ing to do It, do not do 1t for Georgia

Christian is a son OF William f..
Christian OF the passenger department
Of the Sesboard Air Line Railroad. with
headquarters at Atlanta. Mr.. Chris
ton for several years was a member
OF the New York Herald stan In
Washington. He married the only
daughter Of the late Stonewall jack
son.
Al the same time the President took
occasion TO state that he proposed to
give two West Point appointments TO
Georgia. The other, he said, would
be given 70 the son of Harry Still
well Edwards, the present postmaster
at Macon. IL was Mr.. Edwards who
seconded the nomination OF President
Roosevelt at the Republican National
convention on behalf Of the Republic
cans of the South.
Later IN the day several Democratic
congressman from Alabama, Tennessee
and Louisiana called upon the Presi-
dent 20 pay their respects. The Presi-
dent referred with pride TO the fact
that he had decided 20 appoint the
grandson OF Gen. Stonewall jackson a
cadet at West Point. In the group
were Representatives Bankhead. Clay
and Richardson OF Alabama, and Rep
resentatlye Sims OF Tennessee. As
they left the White House they were

held prisoners there to shield him.
All night the officers watched from

bodies of the men killed by williams.
Finally, Williams seated himself by
a window. his rife across his knees.
