METH0D|STS AGAIN
WRESTLING WITH
L. DANCING QUESTION
Conference Likely to Settle
Issue This Time, Say
Leaders.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May 4.-The
amusement question which bobbed UP
In the general conference Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church in a resolution
referring to the judiciary, the clause
In the church discipline declaring
against dancing, card playing and the
ater going, to determine its constitu-
tionality, was scheduled to come up
again today.
Yesterdays motion was tabled. To-
day George w. Dixon, of Chicago, was
ready to present a memorial from
Methodist ministers in Chicago recon-
mending that all specifications in the
discipline regarding amusements be re-
moved with the single exception of that
against buying, using and selling in
toxtcating liquor.
That the general conference Is ready
to take up the question and thrash 1t
out and settle once for all the question
that has caused the church more dis
agreement and argument than any other
problem, seemed to be indicated by the
stand taken by the bishops in the ad-
dress In the reading of which by Bishop
Cranston caused enthusiasm yesterday
The bishops point out that the general
FEELING in the church clearly indicates
that majority OF the members favor
the removal of specified tabooed amrse-
ment
The fact that the resolution to refer
the question to the judiciary committee
was tabled does not indicate, according
to many prominent clergvmen and lay
men here, that the conference is not
cording to these men, ready to face the
matter sQuarely.

partment Is not surprised at the at
titude of the Italian government in

alton setting forth that no reason

So many questions, pertaining to
marriages of Americans abroad have
come to the attention of the State
Department that a special pamphlet
has been issued for the guidance of
AMERICANS on the subject.
NThe Department of State" says
this statement, as unable to give in
formation as to the requirements in
the several foreign countries with re-
. to contract marriage or as to the
: manner of performing a valid cere-
mony of marriage in a foreign coun-
: try r.

tanned on the spot through applica-
ton to the local authorities or
through the advice OF counsel quail
fed to give an authoritative opinion
on points of law and procedure in the
country where the parties propose
to be married. The diplomatic and
consular representatives of the United
states are not deemed legally compe-
tent to give authoritative advice to
their fellow citizens upon matters of
local law and fact so important to the
establishment of the validity of an
alien marriage under the law OF the
place of its celebration"

The chinesa "Eixa kinas."

'"The Five Kings" is the name of the sacred book in which is incorporated
 the religion of the Chinese, as we'll as a great number of other peoples of the orient. The doctrine is a complex sys- tenn of moral, social, political and re- ligious teaching built up by Confucius on the ancient Chinese traditions, and, although its author lived more than five centuries before the birth of Christ, 1t is still perpetuated as the state religion of the Chinese down to the present day. Confucianism is a religion without positive revelation. with a minimum of dogmatic teach ing, whose popular worship is centered in offerings to the dead, in which the notion of duty is extended beyond the sphere of morals proper, so as to em- brace almost every detail of daily life. The chief exponent of this remarkable religion was K'ungtze, or K'ungfutze, Latinized by the early Jesuit mission aries into "Confucius. ."-Chicago News.

Stories of Stevenson.

Robert Louis Stevenson delighted tn odd clothes, which made people take him, much to his own joy, for a sort of vagabond. One night, dressed with a special view to quaintness, the novelist wandered through south London try ing to come upon a policeman who would arrest him on sight. He came upon various "bobbies," but not one of them would apprehend him. and he was vastly disappointed.
 Another time, when in France, off cials of bank on which he had a draft from his father in Edinburgh warned him away, saying that he was an evident fraud and that if he did not go they would send for the police. Ste venson noticed in the bank the pigeon holes which intuition told him con- tained foreign drafts. He plunged at those pigeonholes and, as luck would have it, pulled out the duplicate of his Scottish draft. Waving 1t triumphant ly, he demanded his money and got 1t with a whole off1ceful of apologies.
