Where be and the Governor will attend the cornerstone-laying ceremonies of Ibo Clty County Building. Senator Penrose will opposo the Gov ernor's effort to control the Pennsylvania delegation to the Chicago convention by declaring In favor of the election of unln xtructed delegates, This was niado plain ta several hundred Republicans from west ern counties who called upon htm today and last night U was accentuated In it speech by Sen ator Gcorgo T. Oliver last night nt a luncheon nt the Duquesne Cluh, In which Mr. Oliver declared that there cnuW bo no sincerity behind the candidacy of either the Governor or Senator Penrose for the presidency. If n Pennsylvania!! was to bo considered In connection with that great offlco, he Bald, Philander C. Knox stood out prominently as Pennsylvania's offer ing, but ho nrgued that the delegation should not bo Instructed even for Mr. Knox, PENROSE'S PLAN' OK CAMPAIGN. Thcso additional facts hao developed jturlng the long scries of conferences held ty Penrose nt Pittsburgh : That ho will make war upon tho Gov ernor's plans, Including State olllcers and delcgates-at-large, and from tho congrcs nlonal districts proposed by the Vure BrumbaUgh combination. That B. Y. Babcock and D. L. Gillespie, nf this county, will appear upon the slate it Pcnroso dolegntes-nt-largo If they arc willing to go Into a tight with the Penroso forces, nnd that he wants State Chairman W K. Crow to stand as a candidate fjr dolegate-at-large. That he will stand by Senator Onirics A, Snyder, of Schuylkill, as a candldare fcr Auditor General ngalnst Charles A. Ambler or any other candidate for th.s .office that may be suggested by the Gov ernor and his allies. Developments Indlcntcd today that the Governor certainly cannot depend upon any support from Senator George T. Oliver In n light based on the Governor's own presidential candidacy : that he has little reason to count upon any assistance or tho neutrality of State Chairman W. H. Crow and probably less reason to llguro thnt Congressman W. V. Grlost, of Lan caster, Is cither nn ally or a neutral. All three had been figured more or less as neutrals or allies of tho Governor anil as either they would have been distinct losses to tho Penrose organization. FITTSBUIICSHERS IN CONFKltHNCK.

Extends Reduction to Cler-. gymen in Interstate Traffic, Resuming Former Practice The Pennsylvania Railroad, after a lapse of two years, has again resumed its sale of half-fare Interstate passenger tick ets to clergymen. This moans that a clergyman may travel from ono point within this Statu to any point outside the Stnto at half fare, or from any point outside the Stnto to any point within for half fine. No tickets for points within the Stnte, however, will bo sold nt the reduced rate on account of u prohibitive State act. Until the change was made by the Penn sylvania Company. It wus nceessary for clergymen to go to some other State In order to avail theniselvos of t'to privilege, because a law. enaeteil In this State two years ago. prohibited tho Issuing of this class of ticket. On the Pennsylvania lines tickets may bo bought ns far West as Chicago and St. l-oiiis, and from these cities no dilll culty will bo experienced in extending tho privilego wherever clergymen may wish to go. The Pennsylvania adopted this class of ticket In IS72 feir all points east of Pittsburgh. Tho matter wus brought to a head hero by George I 'alias Dixon, vlco president of the Pennsylvania Railroad. In order to meet the competition of the Krlo Railroad.

It repreeents 10 per cent of their total sales. Mrs. William IC Vanderbllt. Jr.. one of the "salesgirls," sat In quiet poise In the suit department. "See the pretty wax lady," observed a boy to his mother. The "wax lady" wiggled first a toe. then a ringer, and then came to life all over and made a sale. Home of Mrs. Van derbllt's associates are Mrs. Charlea Pa.na Olbaon, Mrs. J. R. Truesdale and Mrs. Fuller Potter. POSTMISTRESS AT ST. DAVIDS Much Interest Aroused in Appoint ment of Mrs, Eulalie D. Lockard Residents of Wayne and St. Davids are Interested In the appointment of Mrs. Eu ialle O. Lockard ma potftuiiutreas at tit. Davids. The reason for the unusual Inter est Ilea In the fact that Rose Houck. of Wayne, passed a civil service examination some months ago and received the ap pointment. St. Pavida was then a fourth class' postoffice and a olvll service exami nation wae necessary Houck. however. did not get any opportunity to assume his new post A few weeks after bis appointment fiu made St David wax J8Ja64 H thj Wrd c$fta "GIRLS WHO WOULD STAY PRETTY SHOULD BECOME SECRETARIES" Advice of Business College Heads, Who Sny Good Jobs Are "Going Begging" WAGES ARE HIGHER, TOO fJIrls who would be pretty nnd stay pretty, nnd be perfectly satisfied with life, should become private secretary to some business or professional man. This is the advice of vocational school experts of this city. They sny that such positions are "going begging" because of the dearth of young women trained for such work. Wngc.i are higher than ever before, nnd there were never such signs of prosperity. Ihcy say. All agree that the heaviest do maud Is for thn private secretary, or high class stenographer, the two being often Identical. Thirty requests a day for trained girls add young men are received by the Hanks ttuslness College, according to Arnold M. lilttyd, sect-clary of the college, nnd Mil ton R Klmirfer. of Temple University, said today that 50 reqiiestK for steno graphers had been received by that Insti tution In thn last in days. "The demand is unprecedented : wo can't llll the orders," said Mr. Stauffor. "Mveii Incompetent stenographers are In demand nnd ran secure places easily. The average salary of n girl stenographer, who has had six years' experience slnco leaving our college. Is t'ri.M a month. The starting wage Is much higher now than forim ly." Mr. Lloyd said that the Hanks College Is deluged with demands for both young men and young wenieii with any kind of business training. "of course the higher secretaryships de mand experience, and so I only recom mend for these places those of our gradu ates who have held other positions," said Mr. Lloyd. "There is a great difference between wages now and foimerly. Time was when either a boy or girl was eager lo snap up a S:i-a-week salary for tho chance to wedge in; now 5S. $!l and $10 salaries are waiting for beginners." L. II. Aloffelt. director of the Pelrce School, said that "becoming private secre taries preserves girls' beauty and keeps them from growing old." Ilo drew a con trast between this vocation and teaching school, which, ho said, two-thirds of tho girls who must work for a living prepare for. Tho latter, ho said, causes them to ago mnio rapidly. It is mini some times to place book keepers, but there Is never any trouble with stenographers, and girls with an aptitude for the work of u private secre tary are always In demand," said Miss I-Jvn Young, vice president of Ktrnyer'H Uusiness College. "All we can do Is to pray for them to come; there aro moro jobs open than we can possibly llll." All the vocational school experts agreed that a high school education was neces sary for a girl to pet one of the higher positions as private secretary. "JIM CROW" BISHOP NOT DESIRABLE Conllnneil from rare One change or alter any part of the rule of our government so as to do away with episcopacy, nor destroy the plan of our Itinerant general superintendent)', but may etcct a bishop or bishops for work among particular races and languages, or for any of our foreign missions, limiting their episcopal jurisdiction to tho same respectively." "HACK PRKJUDICR" The first man to oppose the ratification SVas tho Row Hr. Prank P. Parkin, who said : "I am a friend of tho colored man and rccoguUo that all mun aro equal, but nevertheless 1 recognize also that there e.ilsts u race prejudice that cannot be overcome'. Although a colored man with u sUlllclent number of votes could become u bishop over our general conference, wc know that wo would not allow such a thing to happen, and If It did happen you know and I know that our organization would be disrupted. "1 am In favor of a union of the Metho dist Uplscnpal Church and the Methodist Kptscopal Church South, but I favor draw ing a color Hue. 1 do not favor a Jim I'ruw bishop. When race prejudice is obliterated and there Is a colored man big i-uougii to undcrtnko the work I would bo In favor of voting for lilni as a bishop at the General Conference, llut that time has not yet arrived. "Wo are playing into the hands of church politicians when we sny to tho negro delegates at the Central Conference you vote for our whito ciinTlldate and we, in turn, will vote for your colored dele gate.' It is hypocrisy, and you know it. .Such an attludo does not hnuteu federation but delays it." AGAINST "HYPHi:NATi:S." Scarcely hail tho Rev. Doctor Parkin concluded his remarks when a dozen of the ministers jumped to their feet, claim ing tho lloor. Illshop Kerry, who was presiding, recognized tho Rev. Dr. C. M. Uoswell. who was elected yesterday as head of the delegation to tho General Conference at Saratoga Springs In May. He said hu was not in favor of "hyphen ated" bishops, and believed that tho mo tion should bo voted down. The next man recognized was tho Rev. Dr. G. II. Ui kley, who said he was In favor of the nmondment. "We aro satis lied with white supervision, nnd we as sume that the colored people aro also sat isfied with It. Hut Just as we havo racial ambition and pride, so has the negro race, and I am In favor of waiting until a man of sultlcient calibre to lead his race Is found and then giving them a leader of their own kind." PLKA FOR CHANGK. The Ilev. Cornelius Hudson then claimed the lloor and announced that ho wae strongly In favor of adopting the amend ment. "Why not give the country which Is rapidly becoming Christian, a man of its own race?" he asked. "If wo do not, what occurred In Japan will transpire in all our foreign fields. A bishop of their own race will reclaim the heart of these races quicker and more effectively than one of us could, ever hope to do." The Rev. D. U McCartney also ex pressed himself as In favor of the princi ple that every race should have Its own bishop. The Rev. Dr. Bosweil tried to claim the floor again, but was voted down on a point of order. The Rev. Dr. Alpha O. Kynett said that it would be a dangerous thing to have a negro bishop appointed to care for the negro race. lie said that the conservative element among that peo ple is not yet ready to trust a negro with such a responsibility. The discussion was continued with vigor for more than three quarters of an hour. STRONG STAND AGAINST LIQUOR Indorsement of the stand taken by the State, city und newspapers against liquor was made in the annual report of the Rev. It. K. Johnson, of the Permanent Conference Temperance Society. In part, he said: "We oommend Governor Brumbaugh for his stand on the local option question, and hall with delight the action of Mayor Smith and Director of Public Safety Wil son in issuing orders which eliminate drinking intoxicating liquors In the police and other departments of the city gov ernment We also heartily commend the Pimuo Ledoeh and Evemixo Ledger and other papers within the bounds of our conference that have excluded all liquor and dangerous drug advertisements from their columns." Tie reading of the report was followed by an aadreas by ex -Senator jyanlt O. Cannoa, of Ulna, who uttered ft visvroua j Protest ngalnst the growth of Mormonlsm In this country. MORMON1SM DENOUNCED. "Mormonlsm must go," ho declared. "It Is arf nllen kingdom, set up In our Re public. The.polygamist, Joseph P. Smith, carries his Mormon harem from ocean to ocean without restriction. Only In the proud United States Is this curse allowed to grow nnd fester unrestcalnod. The time has come when all the church should nrlso and wipe out this evil." A resolution was ndopted putting tho confcrcnco on record ns favoring efforts of the National Reform Association In Its bnttlo against Mormonlsm. The Rev. Dr. tj. Hlckley Hums was elected second rcservo delegate to tho Genernl Conference nt Saratoga Springs, N. V., In May. The annual report of the trustees of the conference was rend nnd the election of tho following members for tho coming year was confirmed: The Rev. Jacob H. Hughes, the Rev. J. R. Taylor Gray, the Rev. Arthur Oakes, tho Rev. Samuel W. Gchr ett. tho Itov. John D. Mnrtln. the Rev. C. Edgar Ailamson. the Rev. tl. Hlckley Hums and tho Rev. Robert H. Crawford. The Committee on .Memorials to tho General Conference wns appointed ns fol lokiJ: The Rev. W. Gray Jones, the Rev. Charles W. Green, the Rev. Robert H. Crwafonl. tho Rev. N. II. Masters nnd tho Rev. William II. Smith. An amendment proposing veto power for bishops was crushlngly defeated, by a vote of 107 to 7. SERVICE KOIt CHILDREN. A children's assembly In tho Sunday school room of St. James' Church was conducted by the Rev. J. II. Roycr, the Ilev. W. Q. Hennctt and the How John C. Hlcrl. who used blackboard and object les sons to bring the force of their remarks home lo Hie young people. Tho Rev. Charles Roads brought the service to a close with a Hlble drill. At I o'clock tho Rev. Dr. C. M. Hoswcll conducted the Pentecostal Service at St. James, ami nt S o'clock this evening tho Conference Tcinpoiiilico Society will nlso convene at St. James' for Its annual meet ing. Thero will he addresses by tho Rev. Dr. Clarence True Wilson, general secre tary of the Temperance Society, and by Wayne II. Wheeler, nttorney for tho Na tional Antlsalooii League. There will bo music by the double chorus choir of the "Seventh Street Church." Several new bishops will also be elected, und II is thought probable that ono of the seven ministers elected to attend tho conference yestenhiy will he chosen to one of Ihesi' nfrices. The Rev. Dr. Charles M. Hoswcll, 40 South filst street. Is already being suggested as a probable choice. MARQUIS, CALLED FAKE BY PARIS PAPER, FOUND LIVING AT BELLEVUE Declares lie's a Belgian Noble man and Says "Exposure" Is Positively Absurd WEDDED LOCAL WOMAN Marquis d'Eskcns do Kreuoys, or Mar quis de Krenoys, who, according to an articlo printed im tho Renaissance, a Paris journal, Is an Impostor and a Ger man of no tltlo and doubtful history in stead nf a Hclgian nobleman, wns found In this city today at tho Uellevuo-Strat-ford. Before the war tho man was known all over Paris, and especially In theatri cal and linanclal worlds. Some time be fore tho war he came to Philadelphia, and for more than a year he has been oc cupying a suite of two rooms on the 12th lloor of tho Hellovuo-Stratford, where ho was found today. Tho Reualssanco charges that his name is simply Franz Eskeus, that be was bom In Prussia, from where he was forced to lice, leaving a baby girl, that ho came to America where he worked as a butler and valet in u wealthy family and that be later marlred a widow much older than himself. The Marquis was found as ho was leaving Ills suite rooms 122S and 1227. When confronted with tho churges con tained in the Renaissance, he waved them aside exclaiming "Absurd, positively so absolutely too ridiculous to permit of discussion." "Who was your father?" he was asked. "My father," replied the "Marquis," "was the Marquis Gaston." "Was he a Belgian nobleman?" "He was." said the "Marquis" briskly. "I really don't Intend to go Into this thing. Town Topics carried a similar articlo some tlmo ugo, and 1 simply Ignored It." Tho "Marquis" appears to bo about CO years old. Is of medium height and rather stout. Ho has gray side whiskers. To day ho was wearing a black derby, a conservative dark suit and a long over coat with a lambskin collar. Tho coat Is given a military aspect by several largo frogs of black braid down the front. MARRIED LOCAL WOMAN. The Renaissance charges that tho first wife of tho Marquis died in misery after lie had left her. Before her death sho Is said to havo become a vegetablo seller on th streets. Tho Marquis according to the records here married a Philadelphia woman, the daughter of Edward Roberts. She died at the Bellevue-Stratford on May 28, 1015, at the ago of 80. Accord ing to the records of tho undertaker, U. R. Rrunghurst, the woman was suffering from purulent cystitis, combined with old age. Sho was burled from tho Hellevue Stratford on May 31. Burial was In West Laurel Hill Cemetery. Her name was given as Mary Roberts de Krenoys. She was related to Mrs. Howard Roberts, or 215 South 16th street.

He subscribed $40,000 to the expenses of producing "Par sifal" at the Opera House In Paris, and this was taken, If further indication were needed, that ho was a man of tremendous resources. He disappeared after the be ginning of the war. TOO LATR I'OU CUKMriCHTION """ DEATHS IMWKKK-rOn Murt-l. . . HU, CATHERINE AYIu;3. widow ot Jutou K. Ituvttra.

The Rev. William P. Nicholson made this declaration this afternoon'' nt the Darby tabernacle. He pointed to tho fact that 17.000.non men were fighting In Europe to shed each other's blood and snld that civilization tinit collapsed to satisfy malice nnd lust for power and envy nmoiig nations.1 "The most blasphemous part of It all," exclaimed the ovangnllst, "Is that they nil pray lo God to support their iirms. He then acted the plcttlro of the Kaiser, the Czar and the kings petitioning the Al mighty to bring victory. "When Christ comes," ho declared, "there will be no king but one king, nnd not until then will wnrs cease, and not until then will tho problem of capital mid labor be solved." lie chose for Ills sub ject "Christ's Hecond routing." "It Ir ns Important to cultivate the Imp. of the Lord's return," the evangelist said, "ns It Is lo live righteously In this world. If 1 were not expecting the Lord's second coming t would not be cultivating nil tho graces I could. NOT ARMAGEDDON. "There nro men and women who won der If the present war In Europe Is tho battle of Armageddon, hut that Is Impos sible, because the war Is not In Palestine todny, although the strife Is moving east ward and may leach there before It ends. "I believe In the personal, and visible, and imminent return of Christ. I bellovo the snmc Christ Is coming back that vui.s here before the Christ who was crucified, with the pierced hands mid feet nnd wounded side. And He'll come hack per sonally. "That dirty, old. long-wlilskcred Rus sell had Him coming back Inst October, but nrfw he has clinngcd to next year, and yet some people follow his teachings. Hut that does not change the fact that Christ is coming again. It's no cunning lyl devised fable; He's coming In person. If the devil lias Induced Russell and soino others to counteifelt the second coming of Christ, It only proves that It Is a doc trine worth believing, for nothing was ever counterfeited yet that wasn't valu able. THE SECOND COMING. After expressing his belief that tho Lord may come at any moment the speak er said: "The (yd Testament Is full of tho sec ond coming of Christ. The first coming Is never mentioned III the Old Testament without an accompanying mention of tho second coming, but tho second coming Is often mentioned without a mention of the first. Aro tho Old Testament prophets liars? Or was the dlvlno grnco that caused them to prophesy nt fault? "Then I believe In the second coming bocauso the New Eestanient Is full of It. Read tho New Testament and you will find that tho second coming Is mentioned on nn nvorage of every L'Oth verse alt tho way through." "Tho Jews accept tho second coming but not tho first. Wo accept tho llrst coming, but try to Invent all kinds of counterfeits for the second coming. Just see how tho devil twists you around. Oh, he's a wily pup." "I believe In tho second coming bo causo ChrlHt told his desclples '1 will return.' Did He tell a llo? No! He didn't say 'I'll send the Holy Ghost." Ilo distinctly said that Ho would come ngaln." Tonight's meeting will be attended by a 50 delegates from tho various churches In Chester. Tomorrow afternoon Doctor Nicholson will speak on "Hull."
