. - - ̂ GREAT CHURCH CONFERENCE OPENED AT BALTIMORE BALTIMORE.--Ths quadrennial session of the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church--its supreme legislative and judicial body--opened in this city May 6, and will continue its work un­ til some time in the first week in June. This church is the largest of the Protestant denominations in this country, with a membership of 3,300.- 000 of the laity, about 20,000 ministers and 14,000 local preachers. To repre- cent this vast host about 850 delegates assembled in the general conference, half of them laymen, there being in­ cluded in the latter class a score or •o of "elect women," for since the year '1900 women may be sent as delegates to the general conference. The cosmopolitan aspects of this body may be inferred from the fact that there are 300,000 members in the 20 Afro-American conferences in the •sduth, besides missions in Africa on the east aad west coasts, and in 'Rhodesia, where Bishop J. C. Hartzell and his colored associate, Bishop Scott, have done remarkable work. There are missions also in China. 'Korea, Japan, Burmah, the Philippine Islands, India and many countries of i8outh America, besides Methodist con- iferences in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Bulgaria, Sweden, Denmark. INorway, Finland and France. The uerman contingent alone aggregates 100,000 members and 1,000 ministers. spent most of the quadrennium there; the Germans are concluding that their numbers and the interests they repre­ sent, in Germany and in this country, require them to have one of their own men--something they have never had yet--numbered among the bishops. Several Who May Be Honored. They have several men in mind as filling the bill--Prof. J. L. Nuelsen of the German Wallace college, Berea, O.; President Addicks of Central Wes- leyan college, Warren ton, Mo.; Presi­ dent Havighorst, German college, Mt. Pleasant, la.; Rev. P. G. Yunker. di­ rector of the Martin institute, Frank- fort-on-the-Main, Germany, and Rev. Dr. A. J. Nast, editor of the Christliche Apologete, Cincinnati. It is under­ stood that the German delegates will choose their standard bearer from this list, and that the man they select the general conference will be urged to elect. It is just now likely that the eight new bishops, aside from the German list already noted, will be found in the following list of men who now ap­ pear to be, according to the sentiment of the church, taken far and wide, in the lead. We enumerate them alpha­ betically: Rev. Dr. William F. Anderson, for the past four years corresponding sec­ retary of the board of education, with headquarters in New York city, has become widely known in view of the Lewis, president of Morningside col­ lege, Sioux City, la., whose successes in devoloping that institution in a few years into its present status and prom­ ise indicate him to be a man of sin­ gular resources. Rev. Charles W. Smith, D. D., editor for many years of the Pittsburg Chris­ tian Advocate, is being talked of by hosts of friends in different parts of the church. His age is agairifet him, but one of the remarkable thingA in the case is the remark, heard on many sides: "Dr. Smith would give in four or eight years of service the kind of work which we need in Methodism. H* is a student of our economy, a master of our constitutional law, a man of steady judgment, a man to be abso> lutely trusted." It has been said re­ cently again and again: "Even if Mr. Smith could give but a single quad­ rennium of service as bishop, it would be worth while to elect him." Afro-American Element. There is a movement now going on which in due time will solve many problems connected with the race-- the project to unite organically all the Afro-American Methodist denomina­ tions, including the 300,000 colored people of the Methodist Episcopal church. This aggregation would be colossal in size and importance, made up as follows: Afri<$in Methodist Episcopal, 850,000; African M. E. Zion, 580,000; Colored Methodist Epis- Iff!! Ae. y./V ocjtLi&y MEN WHOM METHODISTS DELIGHT TO HONOR. ten of the conferences being in this country and three in the Fatherland. It will be seen, therefore, that this general conference is a parti-colored, multi-lingual and cosmopolitan as­ semblage. with manifold interests which identify it with the civilization and religious life of many lands. About 300,000 of the entire member­ ship are in foreign missions. Question of New Bishops. The bishops who preside in turn over this body from day to day are the center of constant interest. Their ranks have been thinned by death dur­ ing the quadrennium. Bishops Merrill, Andrews, Fowler, Fitzgerald, Joyce and McCabe having died. Of the whole number the venerable Bishop Thomas Bowman, who has passed the age of 90, and Bishops Foss, Walden, Mai la- lieu and Vincent are on the roll of honor as men retired from the activi­ ties of the episcopacy. The others on ithe active list, Bishops Warren, Good- sell, Cranston, Moore, Hamilton, Berry, Spellmeyer, McDowell, Bashford, Burt, Wilson and Neely, are in Baltimore to occupy the chair as presiding officer, day by day, in the order indicated above, which is the order of seniority by election. The missionary bishops differ from the officers just enumerated in that their episcopal jurisdiction is limited (to the specific fields for which they .were chosen--as for example, Bishops Thoburn, Warne, Oldham and Robin­ son, for India and Malaysia; Bishops Hartzell and Scott, for Africa, and Bishop M. C. Harris, for Japan and Korea. The missionary bishops are not entitled to preside over the gen­ eral conference. A question now being widely asked In all parts of the church under con­ sideration is, who will be chosen for new bishops? It is hardly to be questioned that at least six new men must be added to the board of bishops in order to main­ tain its efficiency in the taxing work of administration, at home and abroad. Of those on the active list, men in full vigor, too, one is at the age of 77 marvelously preserved, and with few traces of age upon him; one is almost ffO and two are 68. China is asking that two men be assigned for superin­ tendence in that land^--one bishop in addition to Bishop Bashford, who has ability he has shown as an administra­ tor of the important educational inter­ ests which have been in his care. He is a west Virginian by birth, an alumnus of Ohio Wesleyan university and of Drew Theological seminary, 48 years old and a man of attractiveness in the pulpit and on the platform. Dr. Bovart Fayored. Rev. Dr. Freeman D. Bovard of San Francisco, editor of the California Christian Advocate, and a recognized leader of the interests of Methodism on the Pacific coast, has been of such use in the rehabilitation of the city which he has served since its over­ throw by earthquake and fire, that his name has been frequently mentioned as that of the man likely to be put for­ ward as the representative of the men of the Rocky mountain region and be­ yond in connection with the episco­ pacy. He Js a big-hearted man, a fine administrator. Rev. Danial Dorchester, D. D., pas­ tor of Christ church, Pittsburg, will be put forward by western Pennsylvania as a fitting man for the suffrages of his brethren. He comes of stanch New England stock, is a fine scholar, has a dozen years of service in a university as professor of letters to his credit, and is known widely because of his breadth of vision and his largeness of manhood. Rev. Dr. Edwin H. Hughes, presi­ dent of DePauw university, Greencas- tle, Ind., is counted on as in the race by virtue of three combining elements --he has an evangelical spirit in a marked degree, he has shown himself an administrator of skill in his present post and he represents the educational field and work, which need to be recog­ nized in relation to the episcopal of­ fice. He is a graduate of Ohio Wes­ leyan university and of the School of Theology of Boston university, and has ably filled some large pastorates. Rev. Dr. Henry C. Jennings, for 12 years one of the publishing agents of the Western Methodist Book concern, and in that field revealing the ele­ ments of a great administrator--intel­ ligence, energy, prudence and enter­ prise--is considered to have more than a fighting chance for election. Other Prominent Candidates. A representative of the region be­ yond the Mississippi has recently been forging to the front, Rev. Dr. W. S. Of a Tranquil Temperament. Troubles Penguin Would Have If H« Let Things Disturb Him. "If I were not naturally a person of profoundly tranquil temperament," •aid Mr. Penguin, "there are some things that would disturb me enor­ mously, and one of these is the per­ versity of some people in their manner of writing and answering letters. For instance: ' "About some matter in which we are imntually interested a man writes me a letter in which some vital proposi­ tion is set forth vaguely; he under­ stands about it or thinks he does, and [the proposition, as he sets it forth, iseems all right to him, because as he (writes he mixes in along the knowl- tedge he has in his mind but which bi« does not put down on paper. • "But when that comes to me I don't {understand it because I don't know Iwhat be was thinking. about besides (what he actually wrote, and so I write (to him: " 'In yours of such a date you say so-and-so and so-and-so and so-and-so. Now, will you please answer this ques­ tion r "And then I write a perfectly plain question which requires simply a plain answer, but do I get it? Perhaps,, I do and perhaps I don't I may get a repetition of the original vagueness or I may get no answer to my plain ques­ tion at all, my correspondent taking it for granted that his original state­ ment of the proposition was plain enough, and what more cua. be needed? "It was plain to him, and why shouldn't it to be to me? And so, it may be, he ignores my plain question entirely and goes on about something else; and then I have to go ahead and fix the matter up the best,, way I can according to what I think is reason­ able and right. "So this is one of th6 things that dis­ turb me, the obscurity and perversity ^ correspondents: or, rather; ! ntsan copal (formerly' of the M. E. church, South), 222,000; making a denomina­ tion of about 2,000,000 in membership, including, as do the figures above given, more than 20,000 ministers. The denominational publishing inter­ ests will command attention, of course, in view of their magnitude and vital­ izing relation to all other interests of the church. Messrs. Eaton and Mains, agents of the Methodist Book Concern in New York, with depositories in Boston, Pittsburg and Detroit; and Messrs. Jennings and Graham, agents of the Western Methodist Book Con­ cern in Cincinnati, with branches in Chicago, Kansas City and San Fran­ cisco, have for two quadrenniuins ad­ vanced the business under their care to a point never before attained. The total assets overrun $4,000,000; the sales of books and periodicals aggre­ gate $2,000,000 a year; last year a divi- dend from the profits of the two estab­ lishments was made to the superannu­ ated preachers of the denomination, their widows and orphans, amounting to $150,000. For half a dozen years there have been several projects looking to ths consolidation of the manufacturing plants of the two Book Concerns, and their unification under a single mana­ ger, with proper assistants. Leaders in the Church. Among the men who will be in the forefront by reason of recognized leadership are Rev. Dr. James N. Buckley, editor for 28 years of the Christian Advocate, New York, con­ fessedly the master of the floor and of the questions that come before the body for discussion; Gov. Hanly of In­ diana; Gov. Hoch of Kansas; Rev. Dr. Levi Gilbert, editor of the Western Christian Advocate, in Cincinnati; Dr. D. D. Thompson, editor of the North­ western Christian Advocate, in Chica­ go; Dr. Stephen J. Herben, editor of the Epworth Herald; Dr. Henry Wade Rogers, dean of the Law school of Yale university; Gov. Buchtel of Colo­ rado; Hanford Crawford, one of the great merchants of the west; Rob­ ert T. Miller of Cincinnati, former president of the Inland Oil company, and scores of college presidents, busi­ ness men, expert in financial and local church administration, and other cler­ ical and lay leaders. that would disturb me if I were not a person of such profoundly tranquil temperament." Rare Colors In Moles. Mole-catching first became a regular occupation about a century ago when English mole-catchers were introduced on the lands of the then duke of Buc- cleuch. The handsomest varieties belong to the "silver gray" class. If these could be obtained in any quantity their skins would bring a high price in the fur market Mr. Service of Dunifries, lately lec­ turing before „ the Edinburgh Field Naturalists' association, stated that he had never seen a really white mole and he believed it to be a great rarity. Nor had he ever seen a piebald va­ riety. He had little doubt that vari­ ation of color in moles ran in certain families. The regularity with which a particu­ lar variety occurred repeatedly in the same field or on the same farm was well known to every molecatcher, while no abnormal coloration would perhaps occur in any other part of ths parish FLEET IS REUNITED TWO SQUADRONS AND TORPEDO BOATS ALL TOGETHER. ASSEMBLE AT SANTA CRUZ Little Vessels Have a 8tormy Trip-* Flagship Connecticut Goes to Monterey for Admiral Evans. ~ww Santa Cruz, Cal.--The Atlantic bat­ tleship fleet was united once more Monday when the ships of the second squadron arrived from Monterey and the flotilla of six destroyers joined it from San Pedro, the latter after one of the stormiest voyages of the cruise. The second squadron headed by the Alamaba, flying the flag of Rear Ad­ miral Sperry, came across Monterey bay, leaving at 5:30 in the afternoon. The flotilla came in at 1:30. Admiral Thomas at night moved from the Con­ necticut to the Minnesota, although his flag of senior rear admiral still files at the main truck of the former.. The Connecticut proceeded to Mon­ terey at 6:30 in the morning to take on board Admiral Evans, who returns to resume active command of the fleet The flagship will return at once to Santa Cruz. The torpedo flotilla fought every inch of the way from San Pedro against a strong head wind that caused big waves to break over the bows and "wash the decks from stem to stern. The screens of the bridges and every loose article about the decks was washed away. Nearly every man on board was seasick during the trip. No serious damage of any kind resulted, however. The flotilla came into the bay in single column and steaming at full speed. As the boats passed between the Connecticut and Kansas on the way into the shore the steam whistles on the beach began to screech out a welcome to the little craft. They pro­ ceeded well in toward the beach and anchored 1,000 yards from the first squadron. Hundreds of people lined the beach and cheered the crews of the flotilla. Several hundred school children from Santa Cruz visited the ships Monday on special invitation of Ad­ miral Thomas. About 2G0 members of the G. A. R. from this and surround­ ing counties also paid a visit to ths #bips. FREIGHT RATES TO GO UP. Western Trunk Line Officials Plan Ad­ vance of Ten Per Cent.

KALTENBRUNNER HAS TO SAY ABOUT H|8 GRAIN CROPS IN CENTRAL CANADA. Writing from Regina, Saskatche­ wan, Central Canada, Mr. A. Kalten- brimner writes:-- "Some years ago I took up a home­ stead for myself, and also one for my son. The half section which we own adjoins iu« Ivloose Jaw Creek; is a low, level and heavy land. We put in 70 acres of wheat in stubble which went 20 bushels to the acre, and 30 acres of summer fallow, which went 25 bushels to the acre. All the wheat we harvested this year Is No. 1 Hard. That means the best wheat that can be raised on the earth. We did not sell any wheat yet, as we intend to keep one part for our own seed, and sell the other part to people who want first class seed, for there is no doubt if you sow good wheat you will har­ vest good wheat. We also threshed 9,000 bushels of first class oats out of 160 acres. 80 acres has been fall plowing, which yielded 90 bushels per acre, and 80 acres stubble, which went 30 bushels to the acre. These oats are the best kind that can be raised. We have shipped three car­ loads of them, and got 53 cents per bushel clear. All our grain was cut in the last week of the month of August before any frost could touch it "Notwithstanding the fact that we have had a late spring, and that the weather conditions this year were .very adverse and unfavorable, we will make more money out of our crop this year than last. "For myself I feel compelled to say that Western Canada crops cannot be checked, even by unusual conditions."

He will give you lnforma* tion as to best route and what It will cost you to reach these lands for pur­ poses of inspection. NO MARRIAGE BELL8 FOR HIM. "What's the matter, boy?" "Gee!

BUYING PAINT BLINDLY. * Many people look upon paint buy lng as a lottery and so it Is, the way they do It It is not necessarily so, however. Pure White Lead and lin­ seed oil are the essential elements of good paint. Adulterants in white lead can be easily found by the use of a blowpipe. Adulterations in linseed oil can be detected with a fair degree c i certainty. See that these two element are pure and properly put on and th< paint will stay put National Lead Company, Wood- bridge, Building, New York City, will send a blowpipe outfit and instruc­ tions for testing both white lead and linseed oil, on request.

PINKHAM Nature and a woman's work com­ bined have produced the grandest remedy lor woman's ills that the world nas ever known. In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mitigate suffering. The Indians on our Western Plains to-day can prodi^e roots and herbs for every ailmenh, and cure diseases that baffle the most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs. From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their pe­ culiar ills, more potent and effica­ cious than any combination of drugs. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the Standard remedy for woman's ills. Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 615 N.C. St^ Louisiana, Mo., writes: " Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering' women I am willing to make my troubles public. " For twelve years I had been suffer­ ing with the worst forms of female ills. During that time I had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue can tell what I suffered, and at times I could hardly walk. About two years ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I followed it, and can truly Bay that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com­ pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re­ stored health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold to Buffering women." What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege­ table Compound did for Mrs. Muff, it will do for other suffering women.
