STEAMER BALTIC BRINGS 1902 YOUNG
LADIES OF MARR|ACEABLE ACE HERE

New York. Sept. 2S.-The steamer
Baltic, carrying 1902 young and mar
women, arrived in port yes
terday and last night all of the passen-
gers had passed through the Ellis is
land inquiry and were ready TO invade
the city. There were also 200 unmar-
ried men passengers, but they failed to
cause any interest.
1t had been stated that all of the girls
were coming over from Europe in
search for husbands, but this was de-
MED by some of them. Others, how
ever, admitted this fact, and explained
their idea of the men they sought.
Whether it was a husband hunting
expedition or not, the officials of the
liner were unable to say. They are
satisfied, however that this is only an
advance guard and that steamers stnl
to arrive here will bring many more
Servants Visiting Homes.
The purser's opinion is that many of

and when they come back invariably

with them, and just by chance there

gate to the General Conference
of the Church.

Columbus. Ind. Sept. 2S.-Because
Vice President Fairbanks served cock
tails with cherries in them at dinner
given in honor of President Roosevelt
at Indianapolis last Memorial day he
was defeated here yesterday as a candi-
date for lay delegate to the general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church. which meets at Baltimore next
May.
The prohibition delegates defeated
him because they said they would not
vote for a man who served cocktails
no matter how prominent a Methodist
he might be.
The action was taken at the quad
rennial meeting of the lay electoral
conference. held in connection with
the 10th session of the Indiana annual
Methodist Episcopal conference. The
lay conference was to select seven del
egates to the general conference at
Baltimore. and as Governor Hanly of
this state had been named to head the
lay delegates of the northeast confer
ence it was thought that it would be
a great idea 10 have the vice president
head the lay delegates of the Indiana
conference
