American citizen. For his father. who

William ". secured naturalization on
marrying, in 1884, Miss Levica Walton,
Of Dexter. and settled down In that
then remote Western town. Sir George
succeeded some twenty-five years ago,
on the death Of his cousin. to the Reade
baronetcy, which was created by
Charles II In the very year Of his re-
storation. But he has thus far been
unsuccessful in securing possession Of
Shipton Hall and the very valuable es-
tatos in Oxfordshire which from 1850

Elliott Talks On
Conference

DR.. T. e. Elliott, who attend
ed the general Methodist confer
ence at Minneapolis, thinks tnat
big church conference plays
about as much politics as an Or
binary political convention.
He discussed the session at the
First church Monday night, told
how the conference elected bisn-
ops and how 1t did not cut out the
amusement section In the discip-
line.
ANY little story whispered
around Ia enough to lose man

said rumor or insinuatlon

cover more ground in a given
time in a general conference than
any place he ever saw.
