Rev. Newing Resigns the Past
crate of Local Methodist
Church--WiIi ask for Trans
fer at Coming Session of the
Conference.

Most of the Methodist folks had
known for a few weeks past that
Rev. Newing had intended to resign
his charge at the close of the year.
At the close of the sermon Sun
day morning he publicly stated this
fact, much to the regret of a large
number of friends both in and out
side of the church circles. Mr. New
ing and his family have never felt
really at home in Grand Rapids, hence
their desire for the change.
A brief review of the years work
was given by the pastor showing a
net increase of tWenty-three mem
bers. The finances were never in
better shape al bills being paid for
the current year. While over four
hundred dollars has been contrFbut-
ed for benevolences. Mr.. Newlng left
for Edgerton where the Conference ls
held Monday afternoon. Bishop Berry
of Buffalo, N. Y, will preside over
the Conference.

WITH DECLINES IN LEADERS.
SOME RECOVERIES.

NEW YORK. June Pit was an
other case Of q dull and unsatisfac-

ers Of securities, TO commission
houses. and to spectators. 1t was a
soft market. the current low figures
probably having as much 10 do as
anything with checking the opera
tions Of the bears. Moreover. the
Street has settled down into the Wait
ing stage, gloomy as expenses pile up
md commissions fail 10 materialize.
The public was never more indiner-
cnt TO the market than IL is today,
and II remains to be seen whether
the payment Of dividends and inter
est, July 1. win make any difference
IA their attitude.
It is true that Congress is on the
eve Of adjournment, but it is also true
that the rate-making power has been
taken from the railroads; il IS true
that rates that shippers may declare
unreasonabIe-even those in exist
euce-wiu have 10 be proved reason
able by the railrOads-nOt by the
shippers-and the latter are some
times hard TO satisfy, This rate-mak-
ing problem is yet Unsolved and un-
tested in the highest court. Until it
has passed the test Of constitutional
ity it viii remain an enigma, IN q
way.
But there are other Influences now
