A caucus on the postal bank bill
was held in an effort to bind the
House Republicans to support the
Gardner substitute.
The conference report on the rivers
and harbors bill was delayed until
this week.
Campaign speeches occupied the
House while the sundry civil appro-

consideration.
In the Senate the Cummins
amendment to the railroad bill, re-

There was an effort to bring about

an early vote on the bill would be
insured. This was frustrated by the
refusal Of a number of Democrats to
enter into the agreement.

conference HAS CLOSED
Sixteenth Session
Satisfied With Work of High
est Body of Church.
EXPECTS GREAT GOOD TO FOLLOW
Sane and Conservative Measures are
dOpted-Endowmen Fund for
Worn-Out Preachers Refused.
Want Laymen Activity.

Asheville, N. C.-The sixteenth
conference of the M. E. Church
South, came to close Saturday. The
closing exercises were conducted by
Bishop A. w. Wilson, who as senior
bishop, expressed the belief that safe,
sane and conservative measures had
been adopted and that it was his
opinion that the church would in the
next few years go forward in leaps
and bounds.
The discussion on the question of
an assessment for an endowment
fund for worn out preachers was
again taken up and by vote Of the
conference lost.
The commission of missions recon-
mended that the general board of
missions appoint a committee on
evangelism to operate under the
home department of that board to
provide for the evangelistic move
ments throughout the church.
The conference adopted the meas
ure.
BY far the most confusion since
the conference opened was created
by the discussion as to whether the
conference shall strike out the words
''the holy Catholic church" in the
creed and substitute the word
Church of God" Points of order,
amendments. questions of personal
privilege and substitutes flew through
the air thick and fast and at first it
was. almost impossible to state just
what was before the conference. The
afternoon session adjourned without
the question being settled.
The salary of the secretary of the
board of education was made $4,000.
The report of the committee on
statement of faith for worldwide
Methodism showed that their work
failed on account of another church
declining to cooperate.
An appropriation of $4,000 was
voted for the Pacific Methodist Ad-
vocate for the next four years.
The report of the committee on
church extension was adopted, which
leaves the question of moving the
headquarters at Louisville with the
board, which is to report at the next
conference.
The report of the committee on
episcopaey regarding the semi-annu-
al meeting of the college Of bishops
in New Orleans was approved.
The last measure adopted was the
adopting of report that a commit
tee Of five be appointed to co-ope-
rate with the national committee on
uniform divorce law.

With regard to that judicial deter
mination of the number of times q
gentleman" can get drunk per year,
argues the Pittsburg Dispatch, 1t
should not be construed to mean that
he must tank up three times in year
to maintain his gentility. On the other
hand, the important question, whether
if he should get drunk five times this
year he must limit himself to one
spree next year, is not ruled on, per-
haps for fear that he might make the
one spree last all the year.

TO CHANGE NAME.
Last Title is Methodist Episcopal
Church in America.

Asheville, N. C.-The measure
adopted to change the name of the
church to the Methodist church was
vetoed by the college Of bishops La
ter the conference voted to change
the name to the Methodist Episcopal
church in America, and requested the
bishops, as it is constitutional
question, to allow the annual confer
ences to vote on the question. Not
until the next general conference
can the name be legally changed, If
by three-fourths vote of members
of the annual conferences they in
dorse the change. 1t is being predict
ed that the church at large will not
accept the change, and equally con-
f1dent are the delegates who favor
the change that the conferences will
support them.

The income Of fb8700O which, &C
cording to a recently issued Treas
ury account, the Prince of Wales
drew last year from the duchy oil
Cornwall shows notable increase in
the value Of that estate since 1897
when it brought only $4,000, relates
the Dundee Advertiser. The returns
mounted steadily throughout Queen
Victoria's reign until in the year be
fore his accession King Edward drew
$4,000 from this source. The in.
crease of 100000 in the last ten
years is probably due to the falling.
in Of leases. which includes the
greater part of Kensington and is by
far the most valuable portion of the
whole.

the oSlI1on that the railroads will be

cotton crop this fall ever known.
Many look for a crop double the size

Several factors enter into this.
Not only has the acreage been in

season for this year has been the
best for cotton growing the South

Cotton is said to be in good
shape. The cold weather which did
