 Buckley introduced the most ringing resolutions ever adopted by such a l body
 The above mentioned article was de- elared 21 insult to the whole denomina- ton, an indigrity offered to the tv of Los Angeles and a disgrace to Amer can Journalism. In conclusion the L-s Angeles Examiner was permanently ex- eluded from the session Of the con-c-- ence
 Dr. Munhall was granted as a matter or privilege the opportunity Io tcta " deny any complication on fl-s part with the disgraceful article, although he is Known 10 be Dr. Days most pers 'stent | troublcr.
 | Bishop McCabe delivered h.s long time famous lecture on Fright Side of Life in Libby Prison" to a great audi e1ce' in Simson auditorium. He nevsr fails to arouse intense interest in the thousands who for forty years have | thrcnged the sweet spirited charplain. He atfirms the highest honor every where bestowed upon him was the chaplaincy of the 122d Ohio Volunteers. | As the conference draws toward the last days business is being expedi ed, | but not hurried.
 The number thirteen proved a lucky one for three men. Wednesday was the 18th day of the great session and the day set for election of bishops. The first ballot disclosed the fact tha. 1S2 men were voted for and one received sufficient number for election.
 Dr. J. F. Berry received 512 votes ard was declared elected. Somewhat of a | SrlrDrisa was Ccca S+ooaG tbo+ Dr Io ..r,, boiled SO large a vote on the first bal ot, as such has not been usual at previous | conferences.
 The second ballot was taken ct 5:S0 | Wednesday afternoon and the result de- clared the following morning. | Dr. Spellmeyer received 612 votes, the l highest number yet cast for any one, and was declared elected. ! Chancellor McDowell had 510 votes on the same ballot and was also elected. IL is a case almost without para ] that three men should be selected in the first two ballots.
 Four years ago it required seventc en ballots to secure one man.
 The three men elevated to the high office Of the episcopacy are no strangers to the church at large. Dr. Berry for years has been editor of the Epworth Herald, and as such has proved himself a tower of strength. especially among the younger portions of the connection. He may justly be styled the choiee Of the hosts of Epworthians.
 Dr. Spellmeyer comes directly from the pastorate, having been in the active work of pastor for more thar thirty years. He is about 57 years of age. but in appearance is much older.
 Dr. Mcdowell is the yovngest man thus far elected.
 He is man of fine personal appear ance-geuial and brotherly. He is az knowledged to be one of the most viz orous and progressive of the younger men in the church.
 It was a very touching sight when, he was declared elected to the h1ga or1ce. on the one side was Bishop Cranston' and on the other his venerable father. | also e member of the same delegation. who escorted him to the platform. It was the supreme moment ip the life of the honored father when lie saw his highly honored son thus signally ds- ltinguished by the greatest protestant hoTt on earth.
 Well might he say with Simon of old, "now lettest thou thy servant depart in | peace"
 The disposition to elect a colorsd d | bishop seems to be growing, but wat will result none may tell. Many sur prises are douttIess in store for the | conference as the ballots proceed. | You can not buy purer or better drugs anywhere at any price than you
