The Water Wagon

(BY A SHORTFELLow)
The sands of time were dropping fast,
The clock had struck. the tide was cast,
When rumbling, humping, there went
past
The water wagon.
Upon it's quarter deck there rode
Full many from their strange abode,
While others tagging after strode-
The water wagon.
Their comments, they were full OF
spice
That rafting sound was made by dice.
Their banner bore strange device:
'The water wagon"
TRY not the pledgew they warning
cried,
But onward thro' the night we spied
That motley mob so strangely ride
The water wagon

Southern Methodists.

On Thursday next the fifteenth
general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, south, will convene
In this city. The church south is now
sixty-two years old, but Methodism
was established in this country $50
years ago when a church was erected
on Sans creek, in Carroll county,
MARYLAND. The secession of the
church south was consummated in
Louisville in 1874 The vote on sep
aration stood "a yeas and nays. The
war between the sections was brew
ing. and the separation of the Meth
odists into two parts was an incident
of slavery times.
The fifteenth conference that will
meet here on Thursday will represent,
according to DR.. H. X. Carroll, Loot
72S members plus the growth of a
year. There are 1884 churches and
CABS ministers in the southern church.
In the country there are 6,256,73S
Methodists, or about one million more
than there are Baptists. Among Prot
estants the Methodists and Baptists
lead all the rest.
The conference will contain about
4Jo delegates, made up of the bishops
of the. church, and clerical and lay
delegates from the various confer
ences. The working force of the great
church-its vigor and eloquence-will
be here, and the expectation Is that
many great questions will be brought
before the fifteenth general confer
ence. Some want the terms of min
listers extended from four years to a
longer period others desire changes
in the ritual of the church, and some
memorials will call for a restatement
of the General Rules written by John
Wesley himself Four or five bishops
are to be elected, and altogether the
conference will do well if 1t succeeds
in clearing it's calendar for final adj
journment at the end of May.

eles but among these people he is looked
upon as a high-priest Mr.. Greet first
came to America three seasons ago pre-
senting the old morality play "Everyman,'
which caused an enormous stir in dram
attic circles on account of its great lit
erary merit and the beauty of its per-
Torrance. Following this a revival Of
many of Shakespeare plays was under
taken. Here again unusual interest was
aroused. for Mr.. Greet presented the plays
as written, and without changes of scene
ry; without Interruptions or rearrange-
ments of the text
Il am here with introductions to a num-
Der of prominent people. No definite ar
rangements have been made; but an out

at the country club is being discussed and

in the past two seasons in all our great
universities"

san Erancisco,s Chinatown.

In the heart of Old San Francisco,
covering ten contiguous blocks, stood
Chinatown. The earthquake and the
fire destroyed it root and branch. A
few holes in the ground is all that is
left to tell where the Chinese settle
ment once stood.
1t will never stand there again, and
already a syndicate of Chinese mer'
chants are planning to build new
Chinese city on the coast near, but not
in. San Francisco. The scheme is al
ready we'll started, and site will soon
be purchased.
The Chinese are more sinned against
than SHINING. They furnish no beg
CARS, no tramps. They are industrious,
prudent and temperate. The word of
their merchants is as good as their
bond. From the ranks of the every
day workers are drawn excellent serv-
clever fishermen. 1t is a race that
presents in an unfavorable environ
ment many good qualities. In the
south the regret is that the exclusion
law is SO rigid it will not permit more
TO come in. If the question were sub,
mitted to southern votes the exclusion
law would be largely modified. San
Francisco is, however, opposed to any
change. but when the new Chinatown
is built without the walls, so to speak,
perhaps it will be possible to get a
law that is not wholly unjust to the
Chinese people. No one desires to see
this country flooded with Chinese, but
the south would be glad to furnish EN-
ployment to considerable number of
Celestials.

CONCERNING Fashions.

1T is rather remarkable to me- said
a young man last night, the power
which fashion has over ones ideas of
beauty in things generally, and particu-
larly wearing apparel
Nov just two years ago young men
who had little respect for dame fashion,
wouldn't think of buying a coat which
this spring we would consider the proper
length. and If he braved publicity, wear
ing an questionable garment no one
would think it smart. If a man were to
wear a suit of clothes to church made
in the style everybody admired two years
ago, III wager not a half dozen men
in town would think it becoming The
same principle applies to every piece of
clothing. The high collars we wore and
considered becoming not so long ago, we
consider bad style now. Look at pic
ture taken several years ago-the diff
ference in style is quite noticeable, and
the remarkable point to me is, every
year we think the prevailing styles is
the best"
