early history Of American Method
ism may be seen from the confer
ence records which exist showing at
the first conference in Philadelphia
in 1873 that 500 of 1.160 Methodists
on this side of the Atlantic wese in
Maryland.
AS early as the conference OF 1882
more than one-third OF the Metho-
dists in the country were in the
bounds OF what is now the Whining
ton Conference, as follows:
Delaware. $50; Sussex. SOS. Total
Delaware section, 1,447.
Talbot, $50; Dorchester, 7S0; Som
erset, 455; Kent, 61O; Eastern
shore Of Maryland total. 2.5O3.
Grand total, 1882.
The above numbers were reported
in 1882 in the present boundaries Of
what is now Wilmington Conference,
out Of a total membership of 11.7S5.
II TO this number of 1852 we add the
Methodsts of Maryland now in the
Baltimore Conference territory, we
have reported at the conference Of
1882; Baltimore, 993; Frederick,
491; Calvert. sos. Total West Shore,
1859, we have reported at the con-
ference Of 1882 a total of 5,741
members in Maryland and Delaware
in 1852. which about equals the
number found in all other parts Of
the country. This was some Is years
after the founding Of the first Meth
odist preaching place, and helps to
show why Asbury is so Identified
with the Maryland-Delaware terri
tory of Methodism.
Maryland and Delaware are still
in the business raising preachers for
Methodism and other churches.
, Among the bishops given Methodism
by Maryland and Delaware are
Bishops Robert r.. Roberts John
Emory. Levi Scott, John f. Hurst
and among the living bishops are
Luther b. Wilson, of New York. and
James Cannon. Jr., of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South.

Big SHADCATCH
BREAKS MARKET
Heaviest Run of Season
Knocks Bottom Out of
Prices at Crisheld
HIGH WINDS
TO END GLUT

CRISFIELD, Nd, March 29.-
The heaviest run of shad this season
yesterday caused the market to drop
heavily, resulting in a big loss to
many Of the dealers. Last week roe
shad were quoted around 50 each.
while bucks brought as high as rs
cents. the prices having held up
since the start of the season because
of an unusual demand, while the
supply was about normal When
the late boats began to arrive Satur-
day evening with full loads of fish
the prices started down, and with
the continuation yesterday of the
heavy catch the market dropped to
80 cents for roe and 20 cents for
bucks, and late yesterday one dealer
is reported to have paid so and is.
Several boats have arrived with
over $500 shad each. The demoral-
ization Of the market will probably
not continue, as high winds are
blowing, which will interfere with
If not entirely prevent, the fishing
until the market is again stabilized
The heavy losses are occasioned
by the inability of the dealers who
have "buy" boats on the ground Ia
get in communication with the buy
ers Immediately after a drop in the
price occurs. However, it is be-
lieved that this season will be one
OF the most profitable in the history
of the business.

REALART PRODUCTION
 LAST TIME TONIGHT
 AT EMPRESS THEATER

Repeating for the last time to. night, Allan Dwan's big Realart pro. auction of thrills, danger, adventure and romance, all combined in seven Fascinating reels-"The Luck of the Irish" James Kirkwood, who dropped his directors megaphone long enough to impersonate Bill Grogan the plumber, full of his barney, Irish wit and love of adventure, co-stars in the play with Anna Q. Nilsson, who, as Ruth" is quite excuse enough for the widest Irishman to forsake his trade and start on merry chase around the world.
 There's not dull moment in the whole film, and it affords the best of entertainment from start to finish. You'll laugh with Bill, and thrill with him, and when it comes to some of his hair raising adventures, you'll just naturally want to rise from your seat and help him out But Bills Luck holds good, and at the end you'll admit that "The Luck of the Irish" couldn't be improved on.
 Sunday night only, another of the great outstanding stage successes of the century, that has been trans ferred to the screen. For thirty years unnumbered thousands have laughed, nr5n 5n1 t1l exalted by the mightiest of Ameri can dramas, Shore Acres"
 And now James A. Herne's inn mortal drama of simple folk has been superbly picturized, with beautiful Alice Lake in the role of Helen Berry Others in the carefully selecter cast are Robert Walker, Edward Comedy, Frank Brownie, Joseph Kilgour, Nancy Caswell, and Itchy" Headrick the three-year-old actor who won such laurels in Should a Woman Tell"
 Shore Acres" is a story of plain New England folk on the rock-ribbed coast of Maine. Martin Berry, stern old lighthouse keeper, forbids his spirited daughter Helen to wed the man she loves. He has chosen for her the village banker, Josiah Blake But Helen elopes with her lover on the Liddy Ann, vessel bound down coast.
 Learning of her departure, her father, insane with rage, prevents his brother Nat from lighting the beacon that would guide the little ship safely through the rocks. A sou'easter is raging, and while the two men strug- gle in the lighthouse, one tO save, the other to destroy, the Liddy Ann goes on the rocks.
 Scenes that folloy make the nerves jingle with excitement as the picture unfolds to it's smashing climax
 Shore Acres" is a big, human drama of thrills and heart throbs, replete with delicious humor and tender pathos; a picture that seen. will never be forgotten, big in theme, in conception and in execution. Show ing Sunday night only.

THIEF IS GIVEN ROUGH COURSE
 OF TREATMENT

l TERIOJKI, Finland, May (by AS 1 sociated Press).-The 5000 refugees 1 from the recent Kronstadt revolution
 in Russia who are quartered in Fiji
 nish concentration camps here and at
 Tho have just given striking ex
 ample of Bolshevik discipline. The refugees are being fed by
 American Red Cross officers. The
 other day, one of them was caught
 by his fellows in the act of stealing a larger share of food than was due l to him.
 1 The others formed committee tried the man, found him guilty of stealing food, and then appeared be. fore a Red Cross officer. Please give us enough guns 10 form firing squad they requested We have found man stealing food
 and will execute him Immediately" Informed that this was Finland. and
 not Bolshevik Russia, the committee was momentarily disappointed. But he must be punished" they in- sisted.
 "All right" said the officer, but no shooting goes here"
 The committee then made the thief strip, although the weather was bit terly cold, formed a long line in the woods, including about 150 men, and made the guilty man run naked 100 times from one end of the line to the other shouting, "I'm a thief" Discipline in these refugee camps has been excellently maintained,
 through the orders of Stephen Petrl-
 chenko, the 29-year-old sailor who was president of Kronstadt and the leader of the revolt. Yet the Finnish authorities are much worried over their presence in Finland. The Kron- stadt men, while opposed to the Con- munists, are a bit too radical in their views to suit the Finnish authori- ties, who have had red" problem at home for long time.
 This, and the fear that the Ameri-
 can Red Cross cannot continue to feed them indefinitely, has caused
 Finland to consider various means of getting rid of these 5000 and the 25,- 900 other Russian refugees who are in the country. The government would like to have the League of Nations take them off it's hands. When the Kronstadt garrison ar rived at Teriojki the men were half starved. Ten days of good American food changed their appearance won derfully and some of them, unused to
 white bread and diet containing a large proportion of fats, found it so
 rich that they were ill and their | diet had to be reduced

 FLASH MONEY

SAN FRANCISCO, May (by Asso. ciated Press) ).-Officials of the San Francisco marriage license bureau say that because prospective bride grooms endeavor to display money in large rolls, their office is called upon to change more money daily than any other county office except that of the treasurer. A small boy is kept busy by the bureau getting $10, $20 and $50 bills changed.
 This is the greatest place in the world for a man to put up front " Grant Munson, deputy county clerk, in charge of the bureau, said recent ly Men, young, middle-aged and old come here with their prospective brides and take out marriage licenses. They know the license is $2 but they come with about all the money they can lay their hands on, done up in roll.
 ''They change the money before they come into the biggest bills they can get and then come out here and make a flash before their brides-to-be.
 "Of course some men do not do this. The really successful business man usually pays in silver It is not unusual for a wealthy man, par ticularly if it is his second or third marriage, to show no bills at all but to ask the bride if she has any change.
 "Men who have been married be, fore generally show the wisdom of never showing too much money"

no man in the whole country is closer,
probably, to the hearts Of the men and
women of the state than this rector Of
the famous Little Church Around the
Corner" Its real name is the Church
of the TRANSPORTATION but it's always
called the other. DR.. Houghton's uncle
founded it and was its only other pas
tor. Many years ago, after the sue
cession of the present recotr, the then
famous actor George Holland died and
a committee of actors, among them
Joseph Jefferson went to a Fifth ave-
nue. clergyman to arrange for the ac-
tors funeral. The minister explained
that his scruples would prohibit him
officiating at services for an actor.
Then he unbent enough to suggest,
There's little church around the
corner where the rector undoubtedly
would serve you And from that
moment, the little Twehty-ninth street
church was beloved of al 1.-The actors
and was known as "The Little Church
