the Methodist preachers yesterday at their

terms the Methodist General Conference At

When he came into the room he was

Foreigners New Pictures and
Perfected Photograph.

About two hundred OF the foreign men,
bers OF the International Navigation
Congress, which closed its session at
Philadelphia on Saturday, were taken on
jaunt through New Jersey yesterday as
the guests of the state, and before they
had crossed under the river for New York
on their way back. shortly before o'clock,
the delegates had gone over the route Of
the proposed ship canal, taken a sail
through the XIII van Kul and had shaken
hands with Thomas A. Edison.
The party. with about fifty guests,
among them half a dozen Congressman
and half a dozen members OF the New
Jersey Legislature, left Camden shortly
after o'clock. The first stop was at
Bordentown, the southern terminal Of the
canal. Half an hour was spent here In
inspecting the surroundings and watch
Ing the cadets Of the Bordentown Military
Academy go through a drill.
On the way 10 Jamesburg, where a ten
minute stop was made, representative
Charles Kennedy, of Iowa, suffered an
attack Of indigestion and a physician had
to be called. The Congressman recovered
sufficiently to continue the rest OF the Jour-
ney.
The party was met at Perth Amboy,
the eastern terminus of the proposed
canal, by Senator Austen Colgate, Mayor
Jacob Haussling, Assemblyman Fred G..
| Stickel and a committee OF the Newark
Board OF Trade. After two-hour sail
the party landed at Ballantine's Brewery.

Reilly. the secretary of the commission.
OF having done this purposely to make
the German delegates feel at home.
Luncheon was served at the Washington

of Trenton, Mayor Haussling of Newark
and a number OF the delegates spoke. After
| the luncheon special trolley cars took the
party to the Edison plant, at West Orange,
where the convention held a reception In
Mr.. Edisons laboratory. The delegates
heard THE Evening Star" sung in Mr..
Edison's latest monograph, the tones being
so clear and distinct that one would never
suspect that they came from a photograph.
Moving pictures of the work on the Pan
anna Canal were shown, some OF them so
striking as to bring rounds OF applause
from the delegates.
Representative Eugene Kinkead of New
Jersey, spoke for the state at the Edison
plant. Mr.. Edison himself could not be
coaxed to speak He contented himself
with bowling and smiling. The delegates
evened things however, before they left.

South Amboy, April 8:-Funeral
services and burial of the body of
the late R. S. Conoyer took place
Saturday afternoon at Christ's Epis-

were some features connected with
( the burial of Mr.. Conoyer, who was
one of the oldest persons in the his

doubt will make a lasting impression
in the minds of many III South AM
boy.
The statement given by the South

cemetery was an error as his daugh-
ter and wife are buried along side
of the church. The body of Mr.. Con-
over was also laid there and in such
a manner that the husband, wife and
daughter as they INV peacefully rest
form a complete cross. The grave
was valuted and on either side and
end was a lining of evergreens COM
posed of lockwood branches, while
the bottom of the vault was covered
with the same on which the casket
rested.
Everything necessary to be used in
connection with the buriad was COW
cred and a strip of mating led from
the door of the church to the grave,
while camp chairs were arranged for
the comfort of the friends while the
vault was being sealed and the grave
filled everything was arranged i'm
pressively, yet 1t was such as to
eliminate in a great measure the
gloominess of the sepulture. The
manner of burial was in accordance
with the wishes Of relatives carried
out by the funeral director.
