about eight weeks.
The naturalization act OF 1870 requires
that the applicant shall have resided IN

No Direct objection.
From what could be learned from
number of the ministers, who al
ways represent the most conservative
element OF the Maryland Conference,
there Is really no direct objection to
the union with the United Brethren
Church. but what the Methodist Pro-
testants mostly object to is the basis
of the union as at present set forth
and which many of them claim Is
taken entirely from the Discipline Of
that church and II consummated on

resolution offered by Dr. Lewis was
passed, increasing the amount to be
paid to the president of the Confer
once by about $3.50.
The most touching part Of the en-
tire conference occurred this morning
when the Rev. J L. Mills. after fifty
four years of active service re-
quested to be put upon the super
annuated list. The conference paused
from its regular work and listened to
lengthy euiogies from his colleagues
rs to the high regard ia which he Is
held in the conference.
Dr. Lewis late in the session ex-
planned the needs of Western Mary

made for aiding in paying for the
structure Much important work
