Chinaman's Grim Humor.

One Of the funniest stories about
Cinnamon is not really Chinese. It
was told by a British counsul at one
OF the treaty ports. He arrested
nine delinquents Chinese, intending to
turn them over to the tender mer.
cies Of the native magistrate next
morning. Meanwhile he gave them
into the custody of a Chinese police
man, telling him to lock them up,
though there was no Jail at the con.
sulate. But the policeman was equal
TO the emergency. He solemnly sa.
luted, saying, II obey!" and marched
his men off. Soon he returned and
announced that they were safely
Gagged.
The consul was curious to see how
and where. He followed his police
man to the yard. There he saw the
nine prisoners dancing round the con.
sulate flagstaff, lugubriously chatting
the Chinese equivalent of ring
around-a-rosy!" Whenever the dance
showed signs of tagging the police
man stirred them up with a long pole,
They seemed at first sight to be hold
ing each others hands, but looking
closer, the consul saw that they were
handcuffed together.
WELL" said the consul, "if they are
chained in a ring around the Flagstaff
they can certainly not get away! But
why do you make them dancer
"Ah!" answered the Chinese police.
man, with infinite cunning, $50 that
they cannot climb up the pole and get
away!"
The consul broke out into a loud
British laugh and tried to explain to
the Chinaman that the nine prisoners
could certainly not all climb up the
pole at once; but the Chinaman had
his idea and held to it, So the dance
went on.'-'Harper's Weekly.

SEVEN new BISHOPS.
REPORT OF EPISCOPACY TO
METHODISTS.
Committee on Rcvisals Recommends
Amendmcnt-Probably Will Be De.
fcatcd in Conference.

Asheville, n. c., May lathe gen.
eral conference of the Methodist Epis
copal Church, South, at it's session to-
day transacted considerable business,
the reports of the committee on epis-
copacy and the committee on revisals
being received and acted upon.
Report No. 1, as submitted by the
committee on episcopacy contained
memorial tributes to the following de-
ceased bishops: J. G. Cranberry, w.
w. Duncan, G. B. Galloway, A. Coke
Smith, ]. j. Tigert and Seth Ward.
BY vote Of the conference the report
was put upon it's immediate passage.
Report No. 2 Of the committee of epis-
copacy recommending that seven
bishops be elected was carried by a
large majority.
The committee on revisal recon-
mended that the name of the church
be changed to the Methodist church
and the report was passed to the CAL
endar.
A minority report was submitted
requesting that he name be not
changed.
This question will come up in a few
days for debate and the general i'm
preston is that the report Of the min
ority recommending that the name Of
the church be not changed will be
adopted.
Should the report Of the majority
be adopted, the matter will have to
be submitted to a vote Of the 46th an
nual conference, three-fourths Of
whose members must indorse it be-
fore it can become a law.
A resolution was referred to the
committee on temperance and other
moral and social questions asking that
the bishops be requested to appoint
commission to act in conjunction
with the national committee on uni
form divorce laws to check the grow
ing divorce evil.
The reports Of the committee on
temperance and other social and, NOR
al questions on the subject Of the use
of tobacco brought about considerable
discussion. The minority report,
which compels young men entering
the ministry to abstain from tobacco,
was lost by three votes. The majori-
ty report, which recommended that
young men entering the ministry be
advised not to use tobacco, but which
recommended no legislation against it,
prevailed by a small majority.

THE BAPTIST CONVENTION,
INDEPENDENT SENTlMENTPROM-
INENT IN BALTIMORE.
Keynote OF Convention Is Desire to
Sever Connection With Otiler
Churches.

Baltimore, May 12.-The keynote Of
todays session of the Southern Bap-
tist convention was the development
of sentiment favorable to severing all
connection with other denominations
and to reaching out for a broader
field. The first was shown by action
looking to the abandonment of the
use in Southern Baptist Sunday
schools of the International Sunday
school lessons, and the second by the
apparent intention to admit to fellow
ship in the Southern body churches
In territory. hitherto left entirely to
the Northern Baptists.
AT tonight's session the Rev. Geo.
w. Daniel, of Richmond, Va, said
that the Southern Baptists lack or
ganization and adequate system of
missions, and can never, under pres
ent conditions, but rests upon the Lay
mems Missionary movement to save
the day.
The objection to the continued use
Of the international Sunday school
lessons appears to be that they have
not been satisfactory to the Baptists
In the matter Of Scriptural texts
touching on baptism.
The Rev. j. M. Frost, of Nashville,
Tenn, chairman Of the Sunday school
board, offered the resolution which,
while praising the uniform lesson sys-
tenn, which has been in vogue in Pro-
testant denominations for 40 years,
asked that q committee be authorized
to prepare for the Sunday school
board a system of graded Sunday
school lessons.
After considerable discussion on the
subject. 1t was referred to a commit
tee.
Following an eloquent plea for the
completion of the 100000 endow-
ment fund of the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary at Louisville,
KY s4SS,000 of which sum has been
raised, approximately $4,000 was
subscribed in the convention today in
amounts ranging from SIS to $1,000.
To allow for shrinkage on account of
death, Rev. DR.. Mullins said that an
additional 100000 would have to he
raised.
A pleasant incident of the forenoon
meeting was the receipt of a telegram
of greeting from the general confer
ence Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, in session in Ashevile,
N. c. The secretaries Of the conven-
ton were directed to frame a tele-
gram of greeting, to be sent to the
Southern Methodist body.
At the 22nd annual meeting of the
Women's Missionary union, an aux
iliary to the Southern Baptist conven-
ton, which is holding it's session in
the Seventh Baptist church, the re-
port was made that $4,000 has been
raised toward the endowment fund
for the Louisville training school, con-
Quoted by the union.

COL. j. S. NEWMAN DEAD.
Prominent Educator and Agricultur-
LIST Passes Away mt WalhalIa.

Walhalla. May 12.-Col. ]. S. New
man. one of the best known educators
and practical farmers Of South Caro-
lima. died at his home here last night
about o'clock, at the age Of "a years
He had been in failing health for
some time, but the news OF his death
came as a distinct shock to the people
of Walhalla, as no one thought his
condition was of critical nature. He
had been up and about his home dur
ing the day. He had suffered for
some time from Brights disease and
several months ago developed a can
Ger. The former, however, was the
immediate cause Of his death.
Col. Newman was native Of Vir-
ginia. having been born in Orange
County. that State in 1886, his par
ents being James and Mary Scott
Newman. For many years he was
associated with Clemson College, as
professor of agriculture and director
Of the experiment station. which po-
sitions he filed with credit to himself
and to that great institution. Several
years ago he resigned these positions
retiring from his long service as an
educator and receiving from the Car
negie fund set aside for that purpose,
an annual pension of $1,000. On his
retirement from active service at
Clemson College Mr.. and Mrs. New
man moved to Walhalla, where they
purchased a small farm just within
the corporate limits of the town. This
little tract Of land stands today as a
memorial to the practical knowledge
OF this great agriculturist, as to all
phases Of intensive trucking, farming
and gardening. From centre to cir
cumference 1t Is indeed a veritable
garden spot. both in point Of beauty
and utility. Col. Newman was not
only able to do things in practical
farming and demonstration, but he
was the author Of several valuable
works on agriculture and horticulture
and he was the disseminator of a vast
amount of practical knowledge, which
has done much to raise the standard
Of agriculture in Oconee and other
counties of the State. He was a val
liable citizen and his death will be
keenly felt. Broad in his views, kind
in disposition and filled with a burn
ing desire to be Of benefit to his fell
lowman. he drew to him as personal
friend and ardent admirer all who
knew him.
Col. Newman leaves his wife and
several children to mourn his death.
{. Z. Newman, now associated with
Clemson College, is one of his sons.
This afternoon the body of the de-
ceased was sent to Pendleton, from
which place the funeral took place,
the interment being in the cemetery
of the Old Stone Church. Col New
man was a staunch Episcopalian and
the funeral services were conducted
by his pastor, the Rev. Mr.. L. E. Hub
bard, rector of the Episcopal churches
at Clemson, Walhalla and Seneca.

Baltimore, Md, May 13.-Home
missions formed one of the principal
topics of consideration at todays ses-
sion of the Southern Baptist conven-
ton. The Rev. Dr. Burr stated that
there was an INCREASE of $4,000 in
the home mission fund.
The board of home missions strong
ly indorsed the policy Of the Southern
Baptist convention of having no "en-
tangling alliances with other Chris
tian bodies that "can in any way en-
danger the purity of Baptist doctrines
or practices as Baptists"
This utterance referred specifically
to the labors of the board in Panama
and Cuba, where it was stated that
the work was progressing rapidly but
that difficulties in the way of the work
of both the Sunday schools and other
phases have developed in the trend
towards "so-called church union ef-
forts and obliteration or disregard of
denominational lines"
I'VE regret" the board adds, that
the lives of protesting Christians who
go to the canal zone for money maxi
ing are hindrance instead Of a help
to the Baptist church. Then. too,
the efforts of some Christian workers
to discredit denominational work in
the interest of undenominational
Christian union are adding to the dif-
hculties of our missions"

citcally. was aimed at the Young
