i represent the Altoona District, which
he did na very elaborate report. It
snowed that but vne death has occurred
amoung the minisiers of the Allwovna
district during the year, that of the late
Geurge Guyer, and that the general
healin. has been good. Awong tne
caarges especially favored with large
accessions ww membership are Coesinut
Avenue, Curwensvilie, Penn's Vailey,
Pa:hpsvury, Osceola, Levonia and Miies-
bury, tne waols number of converis be-
ing piaced at 2000. New churches have
been dedicated ai Muason, Lyroue, and
Krawersville, and new pacsonsges or
improvements bave been many. Ail
codecuons nave exeeeded those of the
preceding year by large amounws and
toe Presiding elder was greauy granted
with the work ot nis Diseriet. All toe
ministers passed without taul, having
reported voeir missionary collecilons.
Rsv. M. K. Foster, presiding elder of
toe Williamsport disteiet, pressuied a
very grautytag repos of bis disiricy, a
Syuopsis of waica follows :
Tue report snows that there have been
six couren dedications: Lae aggresate
Cost Ol Lasse Lmprovemsats is $24,700.
Uae parsonage nas been bull and an-
otuer reouile. Tne cost of the two re-
presents $2,700. Thirieea churches
uave been repaired and 1auproved al a
cust ot $3,000 Seven parsonages have
been made more comtortable and home-
like by an aggregate expenditure of |
$,150. Taese that may properly be
called extravrdinary expeases amount to
$28,850, to which should be added
$6,000 at least, paid auring the year on
old ¢nurch debts. Two thousand dollars
have been adued to the salaries of the
prea:hers, and the deficiencies will pro-
bably be less than lust year. All the |
ministers under Elder Foster's charge
passed without fault, reporting, as did
the tormer list, their missionary collec-
tions.
Bishop Warren then introduced Dr.
George E. Reed, president of Dickinson
college, who addressed the conference.
He plead for the ministers to urge the
young wen to educate thewselves and
stated that wowen are progressing far
more rapidly than wen 1a letters. Rev.
J. W. Hamilwn, corresponding secre-
tary of the Freed nan’s aid society, fol-
lowed with a comprebensive talk on the
great branch of work he represents. An-
nouucements were then mad: and the
first session adjouraed.
At 2 o'clock the anniversary of the
Woman's Home Miss.onary society was
held presided over by Mrs. Dr. Reed of
Carlisle. An interesting address by
th 8 elect lady was read setting forth
tue good work the society is doing. Oth-
er addresses were delivered by Mrs. A.
W. Black and Mrs. T. L. Tompkinson.
Toe conference treasurer, Mrs. Bluek
read ber report for the year. That for the

chbarch, supplies $55 The total for ihe |
couterence is, cash $847, supplies $1,327,
local works $276.
At 7 o'clock the meeting was in the
interest of the Freedmen’s Aid society.
Addresses were delivered bv Revs. G. W.
Stevens andJ. W. Hamilton who thrust
his fists into the face of certain men in
high position in the government for be-
ing a terror to the negro. That por-
tion of his address gave evidence that
he was either sadly misinformed about
the condition of the Southern negro, or
was trying to poison the minds of his
hearers at the expense of truth. The good
work of bis society was dilated upon .at
great length.
YESTERDAY'S WORK.
If there is one thing Methodist minis-
ters can do it is to get up early in the
morning. Bellefonte was astir, on
Thursday, long before her accustomed
waking hour and if a direful calamity
befalls her people the ministerial visitors
will be to blame for inaugurating such
a reform in the time of beginning
work.
At 9 o'clock the Methodist bell called
them to begin the day’s work. A regular
conference session was held from that
until 10 o'clock when Rev. T. B. Rid-
dle delivered the Quarter Coantennial
sermon, a masterly effort indeed. Rev.
A. B. Sanford, M. A., representing the
interests of the Bi-monthly Review,
Rev. E. A. Schell, general correspond-
ing secretary of the Epworth League
and Rev. J, S. Breckenridge, D.D., of
the Brooklyn Methodist hospital, fol-
lowed expanding the thoughts suggest-
ed by Rev. Riddle’s sermon.
The afternoon session was given over
entirely to the Quarter Centennial cele-
bration. E J. Gray D.D, president of
Dickinson Seminary, addressed the aud-
ience on “Oar Literary and Elucaiion-
al Institutions,” in which he emphasized
the crying need for a more intelli-
gent and broad minded mannood. He
was followed by Rev. S. C. Swallow
DD, editor of the Central Pennsyl-
vania Methodist and keeper of the con-
ference book room at Harrisburg, who
gave an Interesting historic sketch of
the growth of the work in the last quar-
ter of a century. Bishop Warren then
took the platform and in a very general
talk succeeded in pleasing everyone,
At 7 o'clock the Epworth League
services were held and a tull auditorium
greeted the speakers of the evening : Dr.
Edwin A, Schell, Mrs Z I. Staples,
Mrs Van. T. Hiulnan, Mr. 8S. V.
Heaton, Miss Annie G Hughes, Fred
L. Smith and Miss Marian Welsh.

and his best girl were snugly seated in a
sleigh drawn by a spirited horse the
harness broke and being pretty far from
home and nothing to fix 1t, with, the
young lady extracted one of her garter;
and handed it to her escort, who imme-
