MANSFIELD
May Entertain Next N. E.
Conference Of This District
Mansfield News)

The entertainment committee Of the
Northeast conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church has asked Mans
field TO entertain the annual confer
ence in September. Rev. s. X. Mahon,
formerly of the Central Methodist
church, is member of this com.
mittee. This is the largest Metho-
dist conference in the world and
would bring 500 ministers here, be-
sides the visitors.
The citizens do not have to furnish
entertainment free, as each congrega-
tion bears the expenses of it's min
lister. This would mean great deal
for the hotels, restaurants and gro
GERS Last year the conference was
held in Canton, which was in the old
East Ohio conference, and now the
desire is to hold it in city in the
old North Ohio conference, and Mans
field is regarded as the best place.
If the conference is brought to
Mansfield it will mean that many
good lecturers will be heard, as this
conference is the strongest intellec-
tually, as well as numerically. If it
is held in this city the sessions will
meet in the First Methodist church.
Rev. Henry Gambler pastor of the
First church, is very much in favor
of holding the conference here, not
withstanding it will mean a great
deal of work. Mansfield entertained
the North Ohio conference three
years ago. before the two were made
into one conference.

WAS INJURED
IN A FALL
Mrs. Green Suffered A Dis.
location Of The Hip
Was Unable To Arise And So
FfOze To Death
An Autopsy Conducted On
Thursday Evening
When The Cause Of Her
Death Was Determined

An autopsy over the body of the
late Mrs. Green, who was found dead
in her yard in Monroe township, north.
east of the city late Wednesday after
noon, was conducted by surgeons at
the Mccormick undertaking establish
ment on Thursday evening.
AS result of the examination the
fact was brought out that Mrs. Green
froze to death.
The autopsy revealed the fact that
the woman's right hip was dislocated
and there were other evidences that
she had sustained a fall. 1t is the
supposition that she left the house
and intended to visit the barn or
chicken house. She evidently slipped
On the ice and fell to the ground and
in the fall dislocated her hip. No
doubt she attempted to arise, but
could not do so and fell back on the
snow.
In her helpless condition and with
no one living in her house she was
unable to summon assistance and
could do nothing but lie in the snow
and await a slow death from cold and
exposure. 1t is the belief of the sur
geons that the woman must have lain
on the ground several hours before
death relieved her terrible sufferings
The dislocated hip, the surgeons
state, accounts for her death and there
is no longer doubt but that she

have lapsed into inconsistencies be-
fore the end came, but there must
have been hours of terrible suffering.
Short funeral services were con-
Quoted at the Mccormick chapel on
Friday afternoon and the remains
were laid to rest beside those of her
husband in Mound View cemetery.

Similarly we have the handbowl,

Indeed, it is the accessories of the
modern bathroom which make it
the comfort it really is. Sponge
baskets come with a place for both
sponge and soap. Various combina-
tions of tooth brush, soap box, and
glass holder are efficient in having
three articles placed together. Glass

people use white enamel curtain

the more costly glass bars.
Then there is the medicine closet
today of white steel instead of wood,
and, if possible, built into the wall
instead Of hanging out from it. In
this way there is no case to bump
ones head into, and the appearance
of the wall is more attractive with
the inset case than the old-time
style. Hooks for garments or towels,

should there be such good direct
wall light as here. Then the color

shades that will not be dark but
still will give a glow of comfort to
the room. Bath mats. long-handled
bath brushes, the invigorating show

these combine to the glory of the
great American bath.
