On Thursday evening at 5:20 the
delegates to the General Conference of
the African Methodist Episcopal
Church, left over the Illinois Central
Railroad for Norfolk, Va, where the
sessions will be held. The party con.
sisted of all the delegates in and near
Nashville. Several of the delegates
were accompanied by their families
and others who are going to attend the
meeting, swelled the party to between
thirty and forty. They will go over
the Illinois Central to Louisville and
from there will travel by way of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, arriving
in Norfolk Saturday morning, May 2.
The delegates and the citizens Of
Nashville held mass meeting at ST.
Paul A. M. f. Church on Tuesday
night. A special feature of this was
the report Of a committee appointed
to wait upon the Board of Trade of
this city and solicit their cooperation
in a petition to the General Confer
ence setting forth the many claims Of
Nashville to the proposed consolidated
publishing interests of the A. M. E.
Church. The committee reported that
they were cordially received by the of
ficers of the Board of Trade, and that
that organization had appointed
committee to act in conjunction with
the committee appointed at the meet
ing held on Wednesday night, April
%. 1t was also stated that these two
committees were preparing an elabor-
ate document to present to the General
Conference. The Board of Trade has
asked Hon. j. c.. Napier to bear their
special invitation to the Conference,
and are urging him to try to arrange
his business so that he can go in be-
half of the Board of Trade and the ci-
items of Nashville. No one could
have been selected who will meet the
general approval of the people of this
city more than Mr.. Napier. He is a
representative citizen and a successful
business man. Mr.. Napier has shown
great interest in this matter, and will
go to represent the Board of Trade
and the citizens unless some unfore-
seen hindrance comes in his way.
The meeting also passed strong reso-
lutions endorsing DR.. w. d. Chap
pelle for the high honor of Bishop. He
is the choice of every delegate from
! Tennessee and the citizens as a whole
are anxious to see him honored with
a seat on the bench of Bishops in his
church.
Enthusiastic speeches were made in
regard to the recent actions taken by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
A Protective League was organized
with the following as temporary off,
GERS: DR.. w. D. Chappelle, Chair
man; Mr.. d. A. Hart, Vice Chairman;

HIccoUeH EASILY STOPPED.
lFrOm the FamiIY DOCtOr.O


This is a most distressing and OBJ
stinate complaint to those in whom it
occurs. We do not refer, of course,
to the hiccough attendant upon great
prostration of the system, but to
those instances very frequent, in
decd of simple spasmodic condition
of stomach and esophagus, which as
sail the individual without any 9th
err symptom of disease, and in the
treatment of which anti-spasmodics
prove inert.
Relief can be obtaineI by directing
the patient to hold the arms straight
above the head and to keep inspiring
as long as feasible, so as to retain the
air in the lungs for as long a period
as possible.

The Cordova Alaskan, in reply to g letter of inquiry, publishes the follow ing: "You can't go to better place than Cordova. The people here are the best in the world; they will welcome you. You can secure most any kind of house you want from the Hotel Burke that cost over fifty thousand dollars to a cottage that cost five hun dred. Rents are reasonable. A three room cottage will rent for twenty oiSi twenty-five dollars per month, furnish ed probably forty. Fuel is also reason able, considering all things. You can get coal for sixteen dollars per ton; wood for seven dollars per cord, or cut 1t yourself for nothing. You need not bring your provisions unless you wish to. There are four or five big groceries carrying full line of all kinds of the very best provisions at reasonable prices. Groceries are some higher than in Washington, but the prices are not unreasonable. Common laborers get B per day. Carpenters get s6.50 per day, ten hours. Other skilled workmen the same prices."

 The Stroller went to great pains to secure the above information, as he we'll knew at the time of his visit to the concentrator that the majority of his readers would never be privileged to gee it's machinatioDs and workings.

The Stroller on Milling

The Whitehorse Star contains the following vivid and picturesque de- scription of the ore concentratoT aC Windy Arm, which shows that the Stroller is on to his job:
 It was the Stroller's privilege to visit the new concentrator ou Windy Arm near the town of Conrad recently and in order that his readers may not be put Go the necessity of visiting it to under stand it, the Stroller will tell them all about it's structure and workings.
 The building containing the concen- trators looks to have been built upright and then upset against the side of the mountain, as every floor is on the ground. Unlike most buildings the first floor of the coDcentrator is on top.
 Surrounding the concentrator is broad expanse of climate through which runs an aerial tramway connect ing the mill with the mine which IS nearly half mile further up the noun tain. An ore bucket which carries HOO pounds of ore dumps it's contents into the top of the building and there Is where the process of making concen- trates begins.
 After the ore is dumped it is all a down. hill pull. From the dump it runs down big trough past man to the crusher. All the man has to do is stand there twelve hours day and pick out the solid chunks of orc which do not need concentrating.
 The crusher Is an ore crusher in which respect it differs from cider mill.
 From She first crnsber the water, aided and abetted by gravitation, car ries the crushed mass to another ma chine that looks like big sausage grinder, only DO sausage comes out of it.
 l Another spout carries the further pulyerized stuff down another flight of stairs and into big coffee mill which ever and anon squirts dash of water into the face of the innocent and un- suspectinR visitor.
 i Leaving the coffee mill the ore is re- duced to little pieces about the size of we'll dried white beans which go gurg- ling on down another spout into ma chine called dinkodorum which pull sates as though it had inflammation of the stomach.
 The di2kodorum separates the goats from the sheep, biblically speaking, in that, like birds of feather, the con- ceutrates of ore flock together while the baser materials are cast into outer darkness through waste pipe which carries them down into the blue waters of Little Windy.
 Aside from the pure concentrates and the waste is a fine but heavily mineralized sand which is as fine as MT! Ogilvie's celebrated household flour. This passes through two or three arrangements" aud finally lands on a kicking bogsrdus, where it is put through a catch. as. .catch-cau exercise and from which it passes on in little Hume of limpid water to jittier. The jifaer has a sort of rock-a-by- baby motion which is most soothing to l behold.
