SOME WAYS OF FRENCHMEN
Odd institutions Which Have fo-
Their Object the Hoodwinking
of the People.

In Paris there is an institution
which calls itself ar "alibi Office 1t
undertakes to prove that when one IS
Ieally hiding in Paris he is at Biar-
Nfiu2, or some place equally remote.
The patron of the "alibi Office writes
letters ostensibly from any address,
and the ''alibi Office" has them actually
posted there, SO that when they arrive
in Paris they hear the right post
marks. This agency. moreover, offers
it's subscribers the advantage of an
address in 'the most aristocratic quar-
ter of Paris" to which their CORE
spondence can be sent, which will be
opened by the management when the
subscription is not forthcoming.
One result OF the anticlerical policy
being pursued in France will be
the enriching of the museums with a
number of valuable work of ART.

A guessing contest Of unprecedented
bignes5 gave the leading daily news
paper of Paris, the Petit Parisien, its

ing a irst prize cf 5000. amounted to

SUIT ON A POLICY.
HILL MEMORIAL CHURCH. "
First Methodist Church of Ogden VIII
Now be Known by New Appclation.

Ogden, Nov. l6.--There is a division
of opinion respecting the changing Of
the name OF the First Methodist church
OF ogden to the "Hill Memorial
Church, through the gift offered II by
Rev. j. Wesley Hill. At the First quar-
terly conference of the church held
here last evening, over which Bishop
Talbot presided, the matter Of accepting
the $1,000 donation from Rev. Hill, II
the church name could be changed &c
the Hill Memorial church, was brought
up by Rev. Samuel Blair, who briefly
set forth that the church was now si,-
900 IN debt, that Bishop Talbot would
give $1,000, providing the other $1,000
could be raised TO cancel the debt, that
$1,000 Of this amount could be obtained
from the congregation, and suggested
that the proposition Of DR., Hill be ac-
ce.ted.
Bishop Talbot followed Rev. Blair in
a lengthy talk expressing his great in
terest In the Ogden congregation, but
felt that the local church had many
obstacles IN it's way OF progress, more
serious than any other congregation In
his diocese, and II mattered not by what
conditions these obstacles had arisen,
they were here and must be overcome.
The first proposition some time ago was
to abandon the church building and
start over again. Another idea was 10
give UP entirely, and still a third, and
the one that was adopted, was to stand
by the old ship and endeavor TO anchor
II safe In port On this last PROPOSE
ton Rev. Talbot felt that the church
had done well. He implored his hearers
10 stand together. and said it would be
perfectly competent for the quarterly
conference to accept the offer made,
but thought that It would be unwise TO
do so without the expression of the con-
Tegation, and after that the confer
ence could take action
On motion OF Rev Blair. the confer
ence stood adjourned TO give all pres
ent an opportunity TO express their
opinions on the matter under discus
Sion
o. a. Kennedy said that he was
usually with the pastor on all proposi-
lions, but on this one he felt he could
not support Rev. Blair and could not
share with him IN his admiration for
Mr. HILL saying that he did not admire
the man at all. and would oppose his
name being attached to the church in
any way. He said that Il was getting
too frequent an occurrence for church,
IS to be named after individuals, and
that when the First Methodist church
was erected In Ogden the people sub
scrlbed to a fund for the First Meth
