End of a Noted Folly.

The monocle has long since been
out of fashion in England. and is soon
to disappear from Paris, which has
been it's last stronghold. 1t was in
vented by Dutch dandy. and it's evil
effects upon the eye were at once
noted by oculists. The monocle first
appeared at the congress of Vienna
in 1914, when it was worn by it's in
ventor. One folly, at least, has had
only about a century of life.

METH0DISTS Will
. NOT REDUCE SIZE
Conference Will Remain
With Practically the Same
Number of Delegates.

Minneapolis. May 10.-By vote Of
418 to 319 the qualrennial conference
Of the Methodist Episcopal church
tabled the report of the committee
which recommended limiting the size
of the general conference to not more
than 700 nor less than 500. The pres
ent size is more than 500.
No action on the electing a negro
bishop for the negro churches was
taken.
Contributions received in the last
four years by the general committee
for foreign missions Of the Methodist
Episcopal church aggregated s5,177.-
259. according to the committee re-
port presented to the general confer
ence last night. Tabulation Of the
contributions showed that the pro-
portionate increase in special contri-
buttons has been greater in that Pc
riod than the increase in the regular
contributions.
The report recommends that the
general conference carefully consider
the question of special gifts with a
view of harmonizing the donations
with the needs of the different fields.
The question of separate contribu-
tions for foreign and home mission
fields is also presented to the confer
ence in the report and attention is di-
rected to the progress in foreign mis-
sions in the past twenty-four years
showing an increase of 492 mission
aries and 1891 native preachers.
The difficulties met by missionaries
by reason of revolutions in two of the
| most important foreign fields. Mexico
and China. are touched on in the
report which finds cause for rejoicing
| that the future in both fields is bright.

AINsWoRTH ECHO.

Washington. May lo.-A strong de-
fense Of Secretary Stimson and an at
tack on the majority of the house
military affairs committee for its re-
port on the circumsta which led
to the retirement of Adiutant Gen
eral Ainsworth after threatened
court martial, were contained in a
report submitted to the house today
by the minority members of the COM
mittee.
The minority report declared that
the majority exceeded its authority.
and framed report containing in
temperate statements and it was
signed by Representatives Prince o.
Illinois. Tilson of Connecticut. An
thony Of Kansas and Ames of Massa =
chusetts.
The minority report held that the
committee exceeded it's jurisdiction IN
reviewing the conduct of General
Ainsworth.
What would become of the disci-
pline of our fighting force if congress
or its committees should deem them
selves free to take up cudgels against
the commander in chief on behalf of
an officer whom he has disciplined ?"
demanded the report We submit
that the majority report on its face
shows itself to be a wholly unconsti-
tuoinal attempt to assert powers not
within the jurisdiction of this COM
mittee."
In conclusion the minority report
upheld the conduct of Secretary Slim
son toward General Ainsworth.
"A consideration of the entire rec
ord" it concluded. makes 1t clear to
us that the adjutant general was not
unfairly treated. There was no
garbling OF evidence or distortion of
language On the contrary the record
shows that the secretary of war went
to almost the extreme of leniency.
While we regret that a long and
faithful service should have termin-
ated under cloud. the officer, who
virtually admitted his fault by his un-
willingness to submit hts conduct to
la court composed of his peers, cam
not now complain of being badly
treated
