 An interesting discussion is promised when the question is opened for debate Monday. M
 Chancellor James R. Day, of Syra- cuse University, made statement to the conference today in which he de- clared on behalf of Bishop Moore, that the Bishop was not in sympathy with the barn burners of Kentucky, but that the Bishop felt the destruction of tobacco in view of the Methodist Church. to be commeudable thing. The Chancellor said that the Bishop did not look favorably upon destruc- ton of the barns and warehouses con taining the tobacco, The conference then adopted resolution of confidence in the Bishop which had been offered by the Chancellor.
 This action was the result of a state menr made by the Bishop yesterday in which he was quoted as commenting the destruction of tobacco by the Ken lucky night riders.
 Later Bishop Moore made a state ment in his own behalf in reference to his remarks on the night riders" He said:
 T have no sympathy with any form of lawlessness, for the night riders only denunciation. My reference was liable to be misunderstood.

MOOTED QUESTIONS
NEW YORK METHODISTS HAVE \ BUSY SESSION.
Advisability of Adopting a Statement of Faith And Eliminating From Church Discipline, Injunction Against Amusements,
 Come Up.

New York. April 4--The mooted questions of the advisability of adopt Ing a statement of faith and of elimi- hating from the church discipline, the injunction against certain popular amusements, came up during today's proceedings of the New York Methodist conference. The first was disposed of by an expression unfavorable to the suggestion while the latter, under the rules, went over to Monday for action,
 Prominent clerical members endorsed the resolution introduced by Rev. w. H. Peters of Claverack, as follows:
 1nasmuch as a Chapter of adviceS on amusements was introduced into the last discipline and inasmuch as para graph 24S was recommended in the Episcopal address of 1900 to be elimi- mated, therefore we respectfully memorialize the general conference that the said paragraph hereafter be eliminated from the discipline"

 Shortly after the warrant was sworn out 1t was served upon Policeman Street by Deputy courson. This was Friday afternoon and fin q little while Duke appeared before Judge ,Abernathy and swore out a warrant against Po- liceman Street. charging him with DOT. jury.
 1t is set forth in the perjury warrant that the plaintiff was tried in Police Court for violating the prohibition law and that Policeman Street was a ma terial witness. It Is claimed that Po- liceman Street falsely swore that he was on the roof of house 21061-2 Sec ond Avenue and he looked down and saw tbe said N. H. Duke selling tick cts in said house beneath him." It Is averred that the point was very mate- rial and that Policeman Street cor- ruptly aud wilfully swore falsehood. By the time the second warrant was sworn out Policeman Street had made bond in the sum of $10o on the first. charge.
 Deputy Courson was detailed to make the arrest the second time and Police- man Street again made bond. the sum being $500. The bond was signed by fellow officers on the police force.' ''

THE SUPPLY AND PRICE OF
COTTON.

Noting the concern displayed by
the international congress of cotton
manufacturers, in session at Paris
last week, about the future supply of
the raw material of the industry,
and particularly as to the apprehen-
sion regarding a lessening of the
supply through increasing consump-
ton in the United States, the New
York Journal of Commerce remarks:
1T is to be hoped from the Amer
lean point of view that the appre-
hension of Europeans in regard to
the increasing consumption of the
product in this country is well
founded. 1t Is not altogether salts
factory to contemplate that while we
produce about three-fourths of the
worlds supply of cotton, two-thirds
of this is sent abroad to be manufac-
tured and large part of the product
is sent back here to supply our own
needs To say nothing of Great Brit
ain, which does such large proper
ton of the cotton manufacturing
and distributes her products all over
the world. Germany exports nearly
500, 100000 worth of cotton goods
a year, made mostly from American
cotton, while, the United States ex-
ports less than a third as much.
This country takes from Germany
nearly half as much cotton goods in
value as it exports to all countries,
while its total imports of cotton
manufactures are three times it's
exports of the same For the great
cotton growing country of the earth
this is not altogether gratifying, and
we have reason to expect that our
own consumption of the material in
manufacturing will increase in the
future more rapidly than in the past.
If that proves to be the case, the
anxiety of Europe over the supply of
material is likely to increase CORES
pondingly. We should be able to en-
large our capacity for supplying 9TH
er countries, but it is desirable that
we should be able to use proper
tionately more of the material in our
own mills, manufacturing for our
selves and taking a larger part in
the export trade. This we are entitled
to expect from our advantage as a
cotton growing country without
rival"
While America has no fear of de-
moralizing competition in the pro-
duction of the raw material by other
countries, still, as the Journal sug
gests, it is highly important to the
cotton grower of the south that our
own consumption of the material in
! manufacturing rapidly increase in
| the future, as it will both stimulate
higher prices and greater produc
| ton, thus placing us in a position to
respond fully to the increasing de-
mands of Europe at fair margin of
profit. The welfare of the cotton in
| dustry can not be promoted by
looking solely to high price levels

VALUABLE HELP.

In Molly's eyes lay purpose grim;
On Molly's head, cap;
Around her waist an apron trim
Audacious thing! Then clap!
Went spoon and basin and she said :
You'd best yourself betake
To regions less occult and dread,
I'm going to make a cake,"
She took off all her shining rings
And round the kitchen flew;
l cut the raisins-sticky things.
But something | must do
To find excuse to keep my seat
And watch fair Molly bake:
And take a toll from every sweet
That went into the cake
She pondered DER the recipe,
And murmured, line by line,
AS might some vestal devotee
At sacrificial shrine.
The victim, / but oh, twas nice.
For she made one mistake;
And with the sugar and the spice,
Stirred love into the cake!
Upon my coat-a tell-tale score
Lay finger prints of snow;
On Molly's lips lay something more
But faith! that didn't show
Success is sweet-such sweet success
(Though it does courage take),
And It's glorious business,
