deals with the negro question,
but in a new way. 1t appeals
to the better side of men and

the weaknesses and the under.

with young Kentucky lawyer

has been left land across the

in her will provides that he

The funeral grafton was delivered by
David B. Hill, and he took occasion TO call
attention to the great benefit Gen. Clin-
toms life had been to the youthful ma
ton. especially his work in the constitu-
tional convention. Among other things.
Mr.. Hin said;
George Clinton served twenty-one years
as governor OF New York, and his early
history both as governor and general, is
the early history of this State. As a
member OF the Second Continental Con-
gress. he voted for the Declaration OF In
dependence. Immediately thereafter, he
assumed command Of the militia OF the
State. This prevented his name from ap-
pearing as n signer OF the Declaration OF
Independence"
Mr.. Hill then sSetched AT length the
life OF Gen. Clinton as an Officer in the
Revolutionary army. declaring his serv-
ices prevented the complete conquest Of
the State by the enemy. Clinton he said
more than any one else, was responsible
for the present wise Constitution OF the
United States. He continued:
las a statesman. Clinton was far
sighted. and always promoted the inter-
ests OF the country. He was free from
the faults Of the present day He was
never accused OF usurping functions not
properly belonging to the official positions
he held; he was never hysterical,' either
in public or private station; he knew and
respected the limitations upon his own
authority. And above and beyond every
thing else. he possessed this most admira-
bic quality in a public mamie knew

Baltimore May 30.-Advocates Of or

Church received a setback today when
the General Conference refused n resolu-
ton providing for the appointment OF a
commission TO take further steps during
the next quadrennial looking TO the con-
solidatlon of the two denominations. The
resolution, which was meant 70 be sub
stitute for a part OF the reports submitted
by the committee on federation, was in
troduced by Rev. DR.. A. W. Atkinson. of
the California conference.
DR.. Goucher, who submitted the com
mittee's report, said:
I'VE have seen eonugh evidence TO
prove to Us that the Southern church
does not desire organic union at this
time. and we believe that nothing should
be done 20 force matters. We have out
lined our policy in the report submitted
TO the conference. and think that mat
ters should proceed as suggested by the
committee"
So the anti-union report was adopted.

the employ of the church using liquor.

the bishop under whose jurisdiction he
works and persons of this character

whatsoever.
When the resolution had been read by
the secretary the question of considera-

that Bishop Neeley acted within his
