 By g o'clock the Stroller was in jail with a charge of chicken steal ing lodged against him, his story of lending Zion the hat not being believed by the arrestng officer. The magistrate, however was not so quick to condemn Before trying the case he consented to accompany the Stroller to the latter's office to interview Zion on the alleged hat lending and when the office was en- tered, that lately ordained church elder was behind the Country Campbell press with his pants off picking shot out of his legs with the office tweezers.
 The Stroller was vindicated but ever since then when he becomes possessed of a new hat he burns the old one.

 Dear Stroller: -I have been look inc over my husbands file of the Patent Omce Gazette of the past several years and find that you are one of the great inventors of the country and there is something l want you to invent right now
 You see, it's like this: every time I hang washing out doors to dry it gets all covered with soot and charred sawdust, and every time l. scrub the porch it is just as bad again in an hour, and the disa- greeable dirt comes into the house every time door or window 9s open and it's just awful.

 Now. Stroller, don't disapDoint us Do invent something
 DISCOURAGED HOUSEWIFE.
 On first reading the above we decided it would be a good thing to enclose the town in glass case in order to protect it from the soot and dirt above complained of, but on second thought we decided it Would be cheaper and more efica- cious to put a spark-arrester on the sawmlll smokestack. If all the housewives in town will call in a

CONFERENCE
Seven New Bishops and
Two Missionary Bish-
ops Consecrated Sun
day Afternoon
SUMMARY OF WORK OF
IMPORTANT SESSION

Saratoga Springs, n. Y, May 2s.-
Seven new bishops and two missionary
bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
church were consecrated this afternoon
at an impressive service which was
almost the last important event of the
eth general conference before final
adjournment tomorrow. The bishops
consecrated and the station to which
they have been assigned are: Herbert
Welsh, Seoul, Korea Thomas Nichl-
son, Chicago: Adna Wright Leonard,
San Francisco: Matthew S. Simpson
Hughes, Portland, Oregon; William
Fitzjames Oldham, Buenos Ayres:
Charles Bayard Mitchell, ST. Paul.
Mimi; Franklin Hamilton, Pittsburg,
The missionary bishops are Eben
Samuel Johnson. Africa. and Alexan-
der Priestly Camphor, the only Negro
chosen to the Episcopacy this ses-
sion, to Liberia, Africa.
The conference is characterized by the
delegates as one of the most important
ever held, principally because Of the
plans adopted, which it Is believed will
lead to the unifcation of Methodist
churches within four years. and perhaps
by 1918
When tho conference adjourns it will be
to meet at the call Of the bishops. thus
giving opportunity for another session Of
the conference two years hence, if it is
believed advisable.
The conference has placed the church
on record as favorng renewed effort in
the foreign and home missionary fields
and has systematized the arrangements
of both these branches. A revised rit-
ual is to take the place of the form OF
service which has been in effect for many
years. Efforts are to be made to secure
within the next four years a $1,000. 600
pension fund for retired clergy and their
widows. A new section Of the discipline
will ask that members refrain from the
use Of tobacco.
Suffrage was Endorsed and polygamy
denounced Efforts to remove the
amusement clause from the discipline
again failed, and members are still IL
able to expulsion If they play cards,
dance or attend theatres.
Ministers who officiate at the marr-
age of divorced persons are now made
answerable to their conferences for an
act of maladministration. Previously
there was no penalty.
Regarding the labor problem, the
church took action which gives recog-
milton to collective bargaining and
recognizes the labor union as a force
in society which has brought great
benefits to the laboring man.
Plans were set in motion to make re-
newed missionary effort in Europe at
the close Of the war.

Rev. Father Thomas J. Gibbons, vicar
general of the archdiocese, and pastor OF
st. Paul Cathedral, hurried from the
cathedral, where he had been saying
mass, to the Hill mansion, just a square
up Summit avenue. At this time, it was
reported that Mr.. Hill had suffered a
slight sinking spell and that members OF
the family had been called to the sick
room. At 4 O'Clock it was said that Mr.
Hill had rallied somewhat. His repulse

Unofficial estimates place the num-
Der Of the invaders at $4,000. Along
the Struma river the Greeks have
evacuated the forts of Rupel, Drago-
tin, Spatovo and kanevo to the Bull
gars without offering resistance.
Coindcidental with Bulgarian inva-
sion a report that the rejuvenated
Serbian army the ancient enemy Of
the Bulgars--has landed at Saloniki
to reinforce the British and French
troops already there. This force has
been variously estimated at from So

Only artillery bombardments have
been in progress on the French front
around Verdun. No infantry attacks
have been made. Around LIE Mort

the sector west of the Thiaumont farm
northeast Of the fortress. the lombard
ments have been violent. In the Ar
come forest, the French have captured
craters caused by the explosion OF
German mines and in Alsace have put
down an attempt Of the Germans to
advance. In the fighting of Saturday
night the Germans in the Champagne
region at several points penetrated
the French line and took 100 prisoners.
Petrograd reports an attempt of the
Germans in the Lake Drisviaty re-
gion to start an offensive. The move
ment was stopped by the concentrated
artillery and rifle fire of the Russians.
The Austrians are still on the Of
fensive against the Italians in the re-
gion southeast Of Trent but Rome re-
ports that wherever infantry attacks
were started the Austrians met with
repulse. On the Isonzo front at San

lions destroyed Austrian trenches and
took the defenders Of them under their
rife fire as they fed.

Louis w. Hill, president Of the Great
Northern Railroad, threw open his big
residence. next door, to the corps of doc
tors and surgeons and their assistants
From the beginning of his fathers illness
nearly u days ago, Louis W. Hill had
been indefatigable in his efforts to assist
the surgeons in their work.
One of the physicians in attendance
upon Mr.. Hill intimated that a GER
tain infrequently used sedative might
be Of some possible slight benefit to
the patient. Other doctors present
questioned the possibility of this med :
icine, and, as added argument against
the use stated that none of it could
be obtained at any point nearer than
Chicago.
Louis Hill CHANGED to overhear this
conversation of the surgeons Instant
ly he directed his secretary to call by
telephone a firm of pharmaceutical
chemists in Chicago and ascertain il
a supply of this sedative could be
obtained there. When an Affirmative
reply was received Louis Hill ordered

Senators and congressman
Politically Inclined as the
Convention Dates Approach

Washington. May 8.-The pre-conven-
ton exodus of members Of Congress al
ready has begun. many members OF the
House and nearly a score of senators
day for preliminary business pertaining
to the Republican convention which will
be held in Chicago next week. Democrat
ic leaders will begin to disappear later
in the week on political missiNs con-
nected with the ST. Louis convention
which is to follow.
For many days the halls of the capitol
have buzzed with political discussions and
already administration leaders have en-
countered trouble in keeping a quorum
present in either house. Realizing that
this difficulty will increase rather than
diminish, extraordinary efforts are being
made to hold members whose absence is
not imperative until next Friday.
Weeks Program
Important legislation that will require
attendance Of members during the week
include the $241, OK, 900 naval appropriation
bill in the House and the long-fought
rivers and harbors bill in the Senate. The
House Will enQ QeD&te on the naval oiII
Friday afternoon and reach a vote before
adjournment. 1t will then go to the Sem
ate, where the naval affairs committee
will take it up after the conventions are
over. What will be the fate of the s4,-
100000 rivers and harbors bill in the Sem
ate still is uncertain, but decisive action
is expected by Thursday or Friday. To-
morrow the Senate will vote on a motion
by Senator Husting to recomnit the bill
with instructions that 1t be re-reported
in the form Of blanket appropriation Of
$3o, 900 to carry on existing projects
Another important event of the week
will be action on the nomination of
Louis D. Brandeis to the supreme
court. The vote will be taken Thurs
day, and opposition leaders have con-
coded that confirmation will result.
Another matter which Senate leaders
hope to dispose Of before the conven-
tions is the Philippine self-government
bill, substituted by the House for the
Senate independence measure. Admin
