Two Conferences Jrnitc

At the last annual sessions of the
New York and Pennsylvania confer
ences of the Methodist Protestant
church, held at PittstOn, Pa, these
two bodies united as one conference.
under the name of the Eastern Con-
ference. Rev. S. F. Ackley, pastor
at Daleville, Pa, was elected presi-
dent This same united conference
elected commissioners to attend the
sessions of the New Jersey confer
ence, with power to act, in case that
conference made overtures towards
union. The New Jersey conference,
realizing that in union there is
strength unanimously elected a like
commission to act with the above
commission on union. The commits
sion met and agreed on basis of
union. At special session of the
Eastern conference held at Pater-
son, N. j., April 3, 1912, this action
was ratified and the delegates to the
general conference which meets at
Baltimore, Md, were instructed to
use their office in favor of the rati-
fication by that body of the action of
these two bodies. The new confer
ence will be one of the strongest
conferences in the church. It will
be composed of 50 ordained minis
terS and so local and Iicentiate
preachers with a membership of T.
$40, 1O2 churches, church proper
ty worth about 100000, and a
preachers aid fund of almost S3O,-
600 on interest. The next session of
this conference will meet in Brook
lyn, n. Y, October I, 1912.

WHO is SHE?

Perhaps you know the little girl
Who's always losing things;
Her hand is in a constant whirl,
Her property has wings.
She's very sure she put away
Each article in place,
But when she wants them, they're
astray,
And thus begins the chase:
" o mother, have you seen my hat?
It's nearly half past eight.
| thought twas earlier than that,
I'm sure l shall be lateI
And where's my coat? I hung it
there
Upon that hook last night.
Well, yes, perhaps twas on the
chair,
Or under it-you're right!
Some pixie hid my books there.
I'm sure it wasn't
Hat, coat, gloves, books, kiss! And
so
I'm ready now. Good-bye!"
What work and worry she could
spare
Herself, and others, too,
By just a little thought and care,
Now, can this girl be you?

What is New In Tub Frocks.

What is new in tub frocks this sea-
son? Nothing, madame-that is,
nothing new in line, but there are
many novel trimming touches on the
simpler sorts of wash frocks. The
skirts have trifle more fullness, but
the skirt of the sheer summer frock
always is fuller than a winter skirt
of cloth or silk. On some of the new
tub models there appears a slightly
godet seam, an inverted plat or a
scant flounce Joined to severely
straight and plain upper skirt of lin
en- or some other firm washing fabric.
Long lines of trimming are much
in evidence on linen, gingham and
sheer cotton frocks, and buttons are
set down the middle front or side of
the skirt, and there are innumerable
panel arrangements that add to the
attraction of a morning gown.
The waist line on most of the new
models is a natural one, but there are
many charming frocks with slightly
raised waists. The former line is
newer.
Sleeves are usually short, with
some kind of a turned back cuff, al
though an occasional tub gown shows
long sleeve and wrist band. Round
neck or square neck finished Just
below the throat base or a slight V
shaped cut with collar or fichu finish
is customary.
Many of the little tub frocks are
made up devoid of trimming other
than the transverse use of the strip
ed material or the hair line checked
fabrics combined with sheer white
hemstitched lawn.
Seams put together with beading
add very much to the daintiness of
these frocks, and pipings of wash
tulle, though difficult to launder, are
most effective upon colored mater
ials. The shoulder yoke with trim
ming extending down the center of
the sleeve is again a favorite waist
arrangement and lines of tiny white
pearl buttons put on with colored
thread are one of the newest touches
seen on tub frOcks

Some Thrilling Escapes.

Some of the escapes Of these years
were thrilling. In February, 1890, the
liner Amsterdam had to go south for
1SO miles to escape an ice pack, and
the Exeter City ia miles. Bergs were
sighted in the north Atlantic in each
Of the twelve months of that year. In
1896, 800 bergs were reported at New
York during March, 500 during April
and 1924 during May and June.
In 1897 the Zaandam was held fast
for five days in an ice pack over the
banks In the second week of March,
1903, the Pandosia and Siberian
brought word to New York of having
made their way along a procession of
bergs 80 miles in extent. The first
week in April eighty steamers reported
bergs at this port-239 Of them alto
gether.
Two Of the escapes that seamen best
remember We're those OF the Arizona
and NOrmannia. The Arizona in 1879
hit berg while going at speed of
eighteen knots. She succeeded in get
ting back to St Johns with 200 tons
of ice on her decks. The NOrmannia,
| then OF the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. line,
but later L'Aquitaine Of the French
line, on May 81, 1890, came upon a
berg in water that had been clear for
many miles.
/ The berg was sighted so abruptly
that a collision was averted only by re
versing one screw while the Other
raced ahead. In this way it was possi
BILE to turn the Normannia in half heI
length. A woman reached over tht
rail and touched the berg as the shiI
swung round. Curiously enough, thu
Normannia was on her maiden triI
when she had this extraordinary ex
perience.

HUMAN LIFE CHEAP
IN NEW YORK
Figures Show One Murder or Suicide
Every Eight Hours.

hscfy biRht IlouFS.
New York, April 29.-That one
homicide and nearly three suicides
occurred in this city for each work
ing day last year is the startling con-
dition of affairs revealed by the re-
port of the Department of Health
covering the vital statistics of Great
er New York for the past year which
has Just been made public here. The
total number of homicides was 2S1
while suicides totalled 7SS, showing
that one or the other of such killings
took place about every eight hours
the year round. Many other figures
concerning the probabilities of life in
this city were made public. The
stork had busy year as is Indicated
by the recording of 135,542 births as
against 75,423 deaths from all
causes. There were 4S,765 mar
riages, by no means a record figure.
AS might be expected, the greatest
single cause of death was tubercu-
losis with $3.50 victims. Heart dis
ease made a close second with
1855. But probably the strangest
feature of the report is that which
shows that the deaths accounted for
under the heads of violence and ac-
cidents made up a total practically
equal to that attributed to the great
white plague. No less than 1895
persons came to violent ends, and
accidents accounted for AHA more.
showing that life in this city is beset
with many dangers. Curiously
enough too measles outstripped all
other contagious diseases in the num-
Der or cases reported with 25,541, ex-
ceeding even tuberculosis with "a
513. Scarlet fever was a poor third
with 1858, while only Is cases of
smallpox were recorded. 1t has also
been unkindly pointed out that nine
persons died of violence or accident
for each one dying from brain
trouble, the total for the latter being
only 900.

British Regiment Lost.

The first great disaster caused by an
iceberg occurred in 1887 The British
transport Albeura, bearing regiment
from the garrison at Quebec, had made
her way down the st. Lawrence upon
the resumption of navigation out into
the gulf when she struck a berg that
had come down between Labrador and
Newfoundland. The Albeura sank be
fore her boats could be launched. and
525 lives were lost
Three years later the steamer Dun
das, after having got farther into the
gulf and farther to the south, struck a
berg that foundered her so quickly
only thirtytive of her passengers and
crew were able to get away in boats.
OF the 292 left on board all were lost
The survivors reached shore and died
there of starvation before they could
reach succor
On Sept. 23, 1886. the Collins liner
Pacific sailed from Liverpool for New
York with 2SS persons on board. No
direct word was ever received of her
after she had cleared port, but there
was reason to believe that she fell a
victim to the ice over the tail" of the
Grand banks, latitude 1870 north, lon
gitude 30 west. Her name, at least.
has been IN the list of iceberg victims
ever since.
Five years later, on June /, 1861. the
Canadian, first of the Allan lines trans
atlantic ships, left Quebec for Liver
pool. Three days afterward. when she
had reached a point eight miles south
of Belle Isle strait, the Canadian struck
a sunken field Of ice. Three of her wa
tertight compartments were broken in
at once, and the ship sank in thirty
five minutes, but 1S1 of her passengers
were able to make Cape Baud in her
boats. Twenty-nine others, however
were lost

The spring of 1882, with the excep-
ton of that Of 1903, was the worst for
icebergs since records of the north At
lantic have been kept, It is said. The
bergs were of exceptional size, and the
floating ice which surrounded them
was of great thickness. The gulf of
st. Lawrence was blocked by the
movement, and perhaps twenty schoon-
ers and steamers were caught in the
jam. Their danger was grave at all
times, but none was lost.

Many Steamships Crippled.
March saw the situation over the
banks become very critical. The
steamship Rialto, from Hull to New
York, was caught in the flow of ice
over the forty-seventh parallel of Ion
gitude on Feb - and had to sail 200
miles to the south with both bows
stove in and her forward compart-
ments filled before she could continue
to New York, where she arrived on
March s. During that month the
steamers Herman. Sheldon and Limo
sa limped into New York badly dam

was towed in by the Mary Toniza, and
the Hermod followed on April II after
having sailed LOO miles with her fore

besides the damage done to shipping
The City OF Limerick went down with
175 souls on board, and the City Of
London was lost with 100. The Ii
tania carried $50 to their death.
In 1884 the Sirius was wrecked by
an iceberg at a cost of forty-two lives
and the Ontario with eighteen, In
1856 the Princess was lost with eight
and in 1891 the Snowbird with twenty

1000 people. although it has never
been possible to arrive at any accu-
rate estimate.
In the year of the Georgia's loss the
Valiant went down with seventy-one
on board. Two hundred members of
the party belonging to the sealer
Greenland were lost on a foe that was
broken away by berg from the ice
surrounding their ship, and when res

In 1868 the City of Glasgow was
