Methodist Yearly Meetings.
So vigorously has agitation started
in among Methodists in favor OF a
supreme court, that a protest has
arisen in that body, not against the
proposition, but vetOing the discuss
ion of It at this tine. The proposition
Is that a permanent body be formed
to sit during the sessions of the quad
rennial general conference. The de-
mand for such court arises out of the
same situation as brings the same
demands in the Presbyterian, Epis-
copal and some other bodies. 1t Is
claimed that such permanent body
will be filed with men Of judicial
minds, and be better qualified to
handle trials at law. The arguments
against the spirit of the present Meth
aaginst the spirit Of the present Me-
odist policy. and second, and more
emphatic, that there has Of late been
discussion enough in Methodism. 1t
Is declared that the general confer
ence Is three years of. viz, 1908. and
that Methodism must % settle down
to hard work, and continue at such
work for two years at least.

Agent Davis of the Southern Carnival

the surrounding towns as possible and
to further his efforts he has secured
excursion rates on both the railroads

CORONATION OF NAPOLEON.

pope came by exactly at 9 o'clock as
was announced. I saw his holiness
very plain. A priest carrying a cross
and seated on a mule made much fun
for the Parisians. The poor fellow,
who preceded the pope was hatless, in
the most bitter cold that could be
conceived; it was so intense that some
OF the soldiers actually dropped down
in fits, having been exposed to the air
from three in the morning without any
refreshment. The emperor was not SO
punctual; he did not come forward
till past II o'clock; his carriage was
superb in the highest degree; eight
cream cOlored horses, decorated in a
new style of elegance, excited the ad-
miration of all the spectators. Those
horses, I understand, were taken from
the stud belonging formerly to the
king of England at Hanover. From
the arrival of the pope TO that of the
emperor, a space of two hours, there
was a continued succession OF troops;
the cavalry all galloped. Some regi-

"I herewith write out in full the be-

untold suffering and myself many
sleepless nights. My babe was born
seemingly a fair, healthy child, but

and in course of time broke. It did
not heal but grew worse, and the sore

Her hair fell out where the sore was,

he told me to get Cuticura Soap and

sationalist and an able writer, one of
her works being the memoirs of her
honored father the Rev. Charles Hill
Roe. She could say, with the full as
surance of faith: "And now, Lord,
what wait I for? My hope is in thee"
Humbly trusting, joyously waiting,
without shadow of doubt or fear. she
welcomed the coming of her Lord. She
had left farewell messages to those
dearest to her and to all who minis
tered to her. and as speech became
more difficult, she said, GIVE them all
my dear love"
Near the time of her departure she
recalled and repeated the beautiful
words of Mrs. Browning, in the theme,
He gfveth his beloved sleep" The
last two stanzas are:
"For me, my heart that erst did go
Most like tired child at a show
That sees through tears the mummers
leap,
Would now it's wearied vision close.
Would childlike on his love repose
Who giveth his beloved sleep.
And friends, dear friends, when it shall

And round my bier we come to weep
Let one most loving of you all,
Say Not a tear must DER her fall

cHINA's COAL FIELDS.

China's resources of coal and iron
are among the largest and most favor
ably situated in the world. The extent
of the great coal fields has been put at
40O,O 900 square miles-twiCe the area of
France. and more than seventy times
the aggregate extent OF all the coal
fields of Britain. OF the quality of the
deposits much has yet to be learned,
but the distinguished German geologist,
Baron Won Richtofen reported many
years ago that both the anthracite and
the bituminous varieties were equal to
the best produced in Europe. 1t is ex-
pected that very soon Chinese coal viii
be delivered at far eastern ports at
prices with which no other coal can
possibly compete, and that China, in
consequence of this development, will
become a large exporter of iron.-En-
