OF
THE WORLD MEET
Distinguished Men of all Nations Assembled Today in Bal
timore Greatest Protestant Church Legislative Body
in the Worlds Bishops to be Elected
Other Vastly Important Work

saying little, who will have their say
here Great debates are promised.
There are fourteen standing COM
mittees, in whose hands most of the
great problems have been placed.
Comprising member from each of
the annual conferences, of which
there are 1874, these committees have
been holding annual meetings since
the last conference. These meetings,
almost approaching the Importance
of the General Conference. have not
smoothed out the kinks or reduced
to a cut-and-dried form the action
for the general body to take. There
are seven commissions, each engaged
in some particular work, as well as
six boards, which form permanent
executive bodies.
Eight bishops will be elected
Among those who, it Is understood,
will be elevated to the episcopacy is
the Rev. DR.. William Alfred Quayle,
of Chicago. DR.. Quayle is one of the
most prominent ministers of the
church, and he will likely receive the
support of a large majority of the
delegates on the first ballot. He is
now pastor of St. James's church,
Chicago, and is regarded as one of
the most eloquent and most forceful
preachers in the denomination.
There are four constitutional
amendments to come before the Cen
eral Conference, to be decided ac-
cording to the instructions of the
delegates to the annual conference.
The vote on changing the ratio of
representatives of the Iowa Confer
ence from IS to 80 has been 2,476
for and 6,969 against. On the ques-
ton of changing the ratio of the
Wisconsin Conference from 4 to 60
the vote has been 2,246 for and b.
765 against. The vote on the change
of the ratio of the Illinois Conference
from 25 to 10 has been 1894 for
and 5.776 against.
The great fight of the session is
expected to be over the amendment
for the election of race bishops.
Many of the most prominent Meth
odists, both lay and clerical. have
announced themselves as opposed to
the amendment.
Reports presented on the state of
the church show that it has made
great strides since the last meeting,
In 1904. The growth has been par
ticularly great since 1900. For that
year there were 2,92S,SS3 members,
and for 1907, 3,3O3,221, gain OF
374.33S for eight years. From 1906
to 1907, the gain was 6S.697. There
has been an increase of 2.293 in
churches. and a net increase. allow
ing for deaths, of 1850 in ministers.

EYE STRAIN.

Eye strain is much more common
than even physicians suppose. Many
patients are in the hands of practi-
TONERS of medicine for nervous

general breakdown, who never sus-
pect that these symptoms are reflex
manifestations of eye strain.

Publicity Bureau Opens.

Chairman Williams of the Republican
State committee announced that the pub
lcity bureau of the campaign in Yer
mont was opened at headquarters in
Newport on Monday.
1t is Chairman Williams intention that
the most thorough presentation of all the
issues, both of the national and state
campaigns, be placed before all the vo-
tiers. To the fullest extent the meaning
of all platform declarations Will be made
plain with logical conclusions drawn as
between parties, and the campaign utter
ances of leaders, both Republican and
Democrats, will be discussed upon their
merits.
Among the issues that will be discussed
as supported or contended by both par
ties, may be mentioned revision of tar
if with particular reference to the Re-
publican proposition that the basis of re-
vision should be made upon minimum
valuation of the imported product, that
valuation to recognize just differences in
the cost of labor as between this and for
eign countries together with reasonable
profit, thus preserving the element OF
protection. Another subject to which
due attention will be given will be the
question of a more elastic currency as
viewed from the standpoint of the two
parties. Other subjects pertaining to the
national campaign will be the antitrust
| legislation, restriction of the injunction
power and the republican party as the
tried and true friend of wage-earners.

Samose Will Make People Fat
Money Back IL II Falls" Says
a nu<@or CO

The line of beauty is curve. Women
may be thin and graceful but not thin
and beautiful There is a vast number
of pale thin scrawny people who are all
brains and nerves, but without the
strength and health that accompanies
the standard weight Good flesh and
perfect health go together. A true flesh
forming food like Samose is absolutely
necessary to many people.
This remarkable discovery comes in
tablet form and when taken after meals
mingles with the food and helps it to as
simulate SO that it makes rich blood and
pleasing plumpness. No one can use
this wonderful flesh forming food for 10
days without noticeable gain in flesh
and strength,
H. B. Dutton Co. have so much conf
dence in this remarkable fiesh-forming
food and health restorer that they are
willing and glad to allow any customer
to deposit SOC with them and take home
a box of Samose with the understanding
that if it does not give a marked increase
in good, firm flesh the money will be re-
turned without any questions.
Take advantage of this offer. - The
risk is all theirs and you have almost the
certainty OF pleasing gain in plump
ness.

dence that an escaped prisoner of the
Waterbury insane asylum assaulted

Of unusual brutality. She had lived
alone for several years. While doing
her kitchen work. unable TO hear APP
preaching footsteps or 10 cry out for
help when seized from behind, the wo-
man was knocked down. An autopsy
showed that the woman had been as

ford, but disappeared before he could

Lorin G. Mead, aged rs years.
1t is with regret that we are obliged to
chronicle the death of deacon" Mead,
as he has been familiarly known among
his friends. He had finished his life's
work, and had done it WELL A sturdy
Christian he has fought for the faith in
everyday life, believing in the great fu-
ture he has now gone to meet He was
one of the charter members of the Long
mont Congregational church and soon
after assisted in organizing the church at
Highland Lake. He has been serving as
deacon since that time.
Mr.. Mead was born in the town of
Cornwall, Vermont, 1882. His early life
was spent upon farm, and his educa-
ton acquired in the public schools and at
Castleton seminary. In 1871, when the
Longmont colony was organized, Mr..
Mead cast his fortunes with it, and came
to Colorado. In 1874 he secured the fine
farm upon which he died.
A man of strong opinions and pro-
nounced views, he almost at once as
sumed leading position in the commun-
| ity. In 1879 he was elected to the state
legislature, where his ability received

rendered a service which can never be
adequately repaid.
During his connection with the lepisla-

the measures which would benefit the
people, and rendered most valuable SER

of moulding legislation in the formative
period of young state, and his wide
knowledge of the necessities of the COM
monwealth made his advice and sugges-
