FRUITLESS VOTING
Eighth Ballot for Methodist Bishops Results in No
 Election.

Baltimore, Md, May 22,-Information tonight of the most reliable character is to the effect that the eighth ballot by the Methodist conference resulted in no election, but that Rev. H. C. stpntz, Rev Wilson $, Lewis and Rev. w. A. Quayle had the leading places in the order named
 While balloting and reporting inef- ! fectual ballots for bishops today con sumed much of the time and absorbed much of the interest of the delegates to the Methodist Episcopal general conference, in the intervals and in committee meetings there was not little important work done. No choice was reported as the result of the fifth, sixth and seventh ballots and before the end of the day the eighth had been i taken and was in the hands of the tell- CTS with instructions to them to report the result to the conference tomorrow morning. Perhaps the most notable showing of the ballots was the rapid advance in the standing of Rev. Homer C. Stuntz, with 195 votes, and eleventh place on the fourth ballot, to third place with 427 votes on the seventh bal lot. The leading colored candidate, Rev. M. c, E. Mason, withdrew from the contest.
 Presumably because of whispered questions and stories relative to the di vorce incident in his life more than twenty years ago, Rev Charles l.. Goodell, between the fourth and sev- enth ballots, lost more than 200 votes, the history of the long buried incident being revived at a time when he could not defend himself.
 Rev. M. c. E. Mason's withdrawal from the race from the bshopric has not changed the belief of his followers that they should have u coIored bishop and they are reported tonight to have determined to put in nomination to- morrow Missionary Bishop l. B. Scott | of .ibpriu

A rather amusing story has been
going around about certain man
who went to a grocery and asked
for four packages of crackers; being
given the crackers and told the
price was $1.O0. "Why. L can get
the same article in Chicago for SO
cents, replied the man. The grocer
said, call right. l will give them to
you for the same price provided you
will do the same with me as you
would do to Them The man
promptly handed him the SO cents.
Now" said the dealer, Il want
70 cents more to pay the express
charges, which the customer gave.
"How much will che crackers cost
your" "1.08' answered the pur-
chaser. Now give me GER is more
for money order fee and postage,
which the Customer was obliged to
hand over. Now how much did
the crackers cost your" ST. 49," said
the customer as he reached for his
purchase. ''Oh no. not yet," said
the merchant as he laid the four
packages back on the shelf "Call
for it in ten days or two weeks.
That would be as soon as you could
get them from Chics 60 and we are
doing business on Chicago terms
now you know"
