LITTLE CHILD
LEFT ALONE.
Man Heard Cries on Canal Boat
and Found the Little
One.
CARED FOR IT ALL NIGHT

Inst night James Pearson, who lives
at 1876 Front street, heard a child's
cries coming from the canalboat West
field, at Gray's marine railway. He
knew that the child's mother, Sarah
Wheeler, died yesterday morning, SO
that it must be with no one but the
father, the only man on the boat.
He investigated and found that the
father had gone off, presumably for
getting the child entirely. He took
the little one into his own house for
the night, thereby probably saving it
from serious consequences, as it is
not likely the father would have re-
turned until an extremely late hour at
best.
The body of the mother was taken
toSJ. ]. Flynn's undertaking parlors
and will be buried tomorrow after
noon, the services being in charge OF
the Salvation Army.
The child was taken to the city
hospital this morning about II o'clock.
1t is sick, but in no danger of losing
its life.

AN LMPORTANT'CHURCH MEETING.
The General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church will
meet i'll Los Angeles, California, the
first week in May. This Conference
usually lasts about three weeks, but
on account of the important business
affecting vital matters to the church,
it will probably be in session for
over a month. The representatives
from the Baltimore Conference in
clude Mr.. Stephen ]. Seneca, OF
Havre de Grace. There are eight
other delegates who together with
several ministers will make the jour
ney some time next week.
Among the important memorials
that our representatives will present
will be to request the general body
to appoint a commission to confer
with a similar commission TO be ap-
pointed by the general conference OF
the Methodist Protestant Church,
looking to a union of the two de-
nominations, which union as a mat
ter Of fact could not be consummated
under less than four, but more than
likely eight years. Favorable action
looking to this church union was
taken by the State conference at its
recent meeting in Baltimore, and
should the two branches of the Meth
odist Church come together it will
make one of the largest religious de-
nominations protesting Christian
faith.
Another memorial will be that per
tanning to the restoration Of the five
year limit to pastorates. At the last
general session this was taken off
and ministers are now allowed to
remain so long as it suits themselves
and the congregations. The laymen
of the church have been fighting for
restoration ever since the limit was
removed, and it is said that they
now have the chance to abolish the
rule. The delegates from the Balti-
more conference will stand solidly
opposed to the continuance of thei
definite period that minister can
serve. Many pastors have also OBJ
jected to the adoption of this rule
and have regarded the fve-year term
as immemorial law, and, in respect
to this, have refused to stay for a
longer period.
Another memorial will be for the
purpose of removing the restrictions
from the endowment fund of the
American University, so that the
money can be used at any time for
the proposed plan, instead of being
compelled by the law of the church
to postpone action until the sum
reaches $5,OOO,OOO. 1t is said that
efforts will also be made to lessen the
powers of the bishops on the grounds
that they have too much authority.

MARK CONFEDERATE GRAVES

TO MARK CONFEDERATE CRAVE
\ bill has been introduced in Con-
gress to provide tor the marking Of
the graves Of Confederate soldiers
and sailors who died in northern
prisons. \ sum Of moneyis to be ap-
propriated for the purpose and the
work is to be commenced at once.
This measure gives a most excellent
opportunity for the North to show
the South that past events have been
forgotten, and we are indeed one
country and stand ready and willing
to honor the bravery of our people
whether they wore the blue or the
gray.
The bill has been twice passed by
the Senate and was first introduced
by Mr.. Foraker of Ohio. 1t provides
that 100000 is to be used in ac-
quiring possession or control by the
Government of all grounds where
Confederates who died in prison are
buried, for the erection over each
grave of a marble headstone similar
to the headstones placed over the
graves of the Confederate dead in the
National Cemetery at Arlington, and
for the preservation and care of the
burial grounds in all proper respect.
Coming from Republican senator
and with the approval of the late
President Mckinley, the majority
party can certainly find no reason
able excuse in allowing this modest
sum of money to be expended for such
a meritorious purpose. Instead Of
forcing our two sections further
apart. every effort should be made
to bring them more closely together,
and magnanimous steps like these
are leading influences looking to such
final results.

MARYLAND AT WORLDS FAIR.

\ carload of Maryland exhibits
has been shipped to st. Louis Fair
and others will shortly follow, SC
that by the time this mammoth ex.
hibition is ready for opening the
State will be splendidly represented.
Speaking editorially of the exhibit
the baltimore Sun says:
"The State Commission wisely in
trusted the preparation of the agri-
cultural exhibit to Mr. William l..
Amoss, who has charge of the De-
partment of Farmers Institutes in
this State The exhibit of the pro-
ducts of our mines and quarries has
been made ply the State Geological
Bureau, Of which Prof. William
Clark is the chief There is every as
surance that this will be the finest ex.
hibit of the kind at the fair. Mr..
Amoss has a good field from which
to gather his exhibits, and he has
done his work we'll. No State in the
Union has SO great variety of sta
pie products in so small an area as
Maryland. No State illustrates more
completely than it does, in small
area, the history of geology. The
State is rich in building stones and
in various minerals, of which the ma
jority of the people have no knowl-
edge, and it is not unlikely that the
MARYLAND exhibits at St. Louis will
cause as much surprise among Mary
landcrs who see them as among citi-
zens of other States. Mr.. Amoss, in
gathering his exhibits, has had some
of the most fertile fields of the Union
from which to CLEAN. In the Western
States, after the exhibit of wheat
and corn has been made, there is but
little else to be had from the farms.
But in Maryland the crop changes
with every section. In the mountain
counties we find bucllwheat and ma
pie sugar, which go admirably to-
gether; corn throughout the entire
State, wheat in most of the principal
counties, tobacco in five counties,
hay and dairy products, peaches as
the staple in several counties, straw
