indication of His Methods as Manager
of the Book Concern.
CBv the Associate Press. }

Chicago, May 9.-Rev. r. H. W.
Leak, of North Carolina was today de-
clared a member of the African Meth
odist Episcopal General conference.
The action followed an exhaustive IN
uuiry on the present conference INTO
the affairs of the church book concern
at Philadelphia of which Leak had
been business manager and from
which position he had been deposed
in 1901. The victory of Rev. Leak
was held to be a vindjcation of his
methods as business manager of the
book concern.
For two days the general conference
has threshed the matter out in execu-
tive session. Rev. Jno. III. Collect, of
Baltimore had been appointed success
sor of Leak and has held the position
for three years. The matter came to
a vote this evening. 1t was announced
that the vote was heavily for Leak.

RoMIsu CHURCH AND SCHOOLS.
A Resolution That Starts Exciting Dis
cu55iOn In Methodist Conference.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 9.-The at
titude of the Roman Catholic church
toward the public school system of the
United States furnished the subject of
an exciting debate at today'S session
of Methodist Episcopal conference.
Whila there was a strong disposition
on tie part of certain delegates to
have the conference adopt resolutions
committing it to decided utterances
on the subject, an overwhelming
sentiment developed against such ac-
ton and the question was finally re-
ferred to a committee from which it
is unlikely ever to be reported.
Rev. ]. r. King, Secretary of the
Church Extension Society of Philadel-
phia, presented the resolution, declar-
ing that in the language of the Episco-
pal address, the Catholic church's eff
orts to control the secular press, its
influence in politics, and it's assaults on
the public school system demanded the
vigilance of ProteStants and patriots.

grew out of an alleged shortage in his

Concerning Smallpox.

Prof. A. G. Kimler, formerly prin-
cipal of Shepherd College, now super.
intendent of the public schools of
Ceredo, W. Va, writes us as follows
concerning smallpox:
l notice you give some advice in the
REGISTER in regard TO smallpox. Let
me say that my experience through two
scourges of the disease has taught me
that vaccination is the only safeguard.
Ii vaccination does not take on a person
who has not had the disease, that does
not mean that he will not take small
box. He is just as liable to take II as
another. Keep on using points until it
does take. Some who felt safe are now
among the dead Vaccinate every
couple of years, though persons here
who had not been vaccinated for forty
wears had the disease so slight that they
scarcely knew it. Should smallpox
break out in a community, vaccinate
everybody. Secure a smallpox hospl-
tal-not pest-house-and remove
every case to it. Make the patients
comfortable and keep all others away
from II.
1t matters not what the first cost is.
you will save money, for if it is allowed
10 gain foothold, the expenses will be
enormous. 1t cost this county $1,000.
We had about $50 cases here and 81
deaths. The deaths were mostly OF old
persons or women in DELICATE health.
Very few children died. We suffered
five weeks quarantine. The disease
took the unvaccinated mostly. Had we
taken hold of the disease in earnest at
first it would have saved many lives and
much money.

Anothes Dreadful Disaster.

Another great calamity was added
on Monday to the list OF horrors that
have occurred during the past month.
By an explosion in coal mine at
Cheswick, Pa, l6 miles northeast of
Plttsburg, 1874 miners were instantly
killed, only one man of all the work.
men being rescued. The men had
gone to work in the morning as usual,
when at s 20 o'clock there was fear
full explosion, caused, it is supposed,
by fre.damp. A terrific blast OF
fame burst from the mouth of the
mine, wrecking the machinery and
giving warning Of the awful fate of
the men entombed 220 feet under
ground, Rescuing parties were sent
into the mine as soon as possible.
They iound torn and dismembered
bodies and bits of human flesh among
the debris that filed the mine, and
one living being, miner named
Adolph Coma, who was badly hurt.
The air was so foul with noxious
gases that it was certain that those
who might have escaped death in the
explosion would be sutfocated. One
of the rescuing party lost his life by
being overcome by the poisonous gas.
Those who have gone into the mine
say that the sight is awful, scores of
mangled and blackened bodies filling
the passages. There is great distress
in the little village where SO many
homes have been bereft Of husbands,
fathers and sons.

IT is more than likely that there
will be strenuous opposition to the
denomination of Hon. A. g. Dayton
for Congress in this district. Mr..
Dayton has strongly opposed the
proposition for tax reform in West
Virginia, as have also some Of his
closest political allies and personal
friends. Those who favor tax reform
feel that he is representing the cor
porations rather than the mass Of his
constituents, and that there is really
no call for him to be so active in the
matter, anyhow. They will there
fore seek to defeat him for the renom-
NATION. 1t is probable that he will
have as his opponent Hon. Geo G..
Sturgiss. a prominent and wealthy
citizen of Morgantown, and stanch
advocate of tax reform.
Mr. Dayton has defeated Mr.. stur-
giss once or twice before, but it may
be that the turning Of the lane is not
far ahead

We feel as though we ought to pour
a little oil on the troubled waters OF
journalism in the central part of the
State and calm the tumult that is
raging between the Kingwood Argus
and the Fairmont Times We want
to express our positive assurance to
the Times that our friend Slidell
Brown, of the Argus, is incapable OF
double dealing, and would knowingly
do no person or faction an injustice.
His work for the Editorial Association
has been entirely disinterested and
unsel6sh, and we are sure he would
not permit his Office to be used in an
improper way. We wish to observe
to the Argus thatour friend Mckinney,
Of the Times, is a trihe over-zealous in
the cause he has espoused and is a
little out of sorts because of the hard
fight he has on his hands. He's a
jolly good fellow, too, and doesn't
mean to do anyone injustice.

was debating to a spelling class day
OF two ago, when, in pronouncing an
extra long word, she dislocated her
law. When she looked in a mirror
her appearance frightened her. The
pain in her jaw made talking exceed
ingly painful, so she walked to the
blackboard and wrote: "School is
dismissed. My jaw is dislocated. " The
schoolroom was cleared and Miss Maui
man was soon hurrying to surgeon,
when by sudden twist the jaw flew
back into its placa with a smack.
Lessons were resumed at Lessig school
next day.

Death was an unbidden and for
some time an unrecognized guest at a
sleighing party which was gwen by a
number of young merry-makers at
Anoka, MINI, on Saturday night.
Among the party was Lewis Flicker, a
young farmer, and by his side, with
her arm around him, sat the young
lady he had brought. Amid the jok-
ing and singing she scarcely noticed
that her companion was unusually
silent. She thought he was hanging
his head on his breast to avoid the
cold Even when she remarked, "How
cold your hands are" she thought
little of the fact that he did not
answer. In this way the "bob-sled'
sped for miles to the accompaniment
Of footing horns, yells and singing
and laughter. At last Ficker's con-
tinued silence attracted general at
tention. An investigation followed
and young doctor in the party de-
claled that Flicker had been dead over
an hour. At the autopsy death was
ascribed to heart failure.

ACCORDING to recent interview,
which we have no doubt is correct,
Hon. VIM. ]. Bryan means to make a
strong effort to direct the policy OF
the Democratic party this year. He
still sticks to the Kansas City plat
form and l6 to l, and says the Demo-
Gratis must again endorse both. He
also asserts that no man ehall be NOM
mated or recognized who failed to
support him in 1896 aud 1900.
We think the most becoming thing
for Mr.. Bryan to do is to take back
seat. The great Democratic party
gave him eight years Of Its time and
twice presented to him the highest
honors at its command. The time
was wasted and the privileges awaited
him nothing 1t is preposterous that
Mr.. Bryan shall seek further favors
of the party or again attempt to adj
vance bis policy which has twice been
SO emphatically repudisted by the
people. 1t would be suicidal to again
endorse his theories.
Mr.. Bryan has bad the respect of a
large proportion # his party hereto
fore, but be is in danger of losing it
now.

News of one of the most important
geological discoveries ever made in
South America has just been received
at the University of California from
Astronomer W. FL. Wright, head of
the Lick Observatory expedition now
in Chile. The first is a remarkably
perfect specimen of the ichthyosaurus,
and the significance Of the discovery
lies IN the fact that South America
has never been known previously to
furnish any specimens of these pre-
historic silurians so valuable to science.
This interesting fossil was discovered
near Coquimbo, Chile, and the speci-
men has been unearthed in almost
perfect condition. Other valuable
specimens have been found in the
same place. Professor Merriam, &C.
cupying the chair Of psleontology and
historical geology at the university,
says that so far as he is aware no speci-
men has been discovered which rivals
this one in completeness or scientific
value.
