THE ITINERANT LIMIT EEMAINS. All-Toung People's Societies Except Ipworth Are Notified the THAT THEr 1KTKUDE IN THE CHURCH Omaha, May 24. Bishop Hnrst own pied the chair at tbe Methodist Episcopal General Conference. The Committee on Judiciary reached a very important conclu sion upon the meaning of the word "lay men" in the discipline. It provides for lay representation. The committee is of the opinion that the word does not and never has included women, but has meant and does mean men only. The Epworth League matter was dis cussed at length, a lively debate arising over an effort to deprive the League of a Secre tary of its own. The special secretary wing of the Conference, however, won the day. A rather warm altercation took place be tweed Murray, of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Berry, Chairman of the committee, over a misunderstanding. The Conference was discussinga section providing that there should be no effort made to disturb the Christian Endeavor and other young peo ple's societies in the Church for the purpose of planting Epworth Leagues in their stead. A Full Itljlit of Way fop the Epworth. Secretary Monroe offered a resolution to strike out the section. Mr. Murray held that the committee had agreed to this sec tion as a compromise after a week of warm diicussion. He was opposed to the idea of striking out the section. Dr. Berry de clared that Mr. Murray had misrepresented the committee, and after shooting contra dictions at each other for a few moments they got together and found that they were not very far apart after alL Dr. Spier was in lavor of giving the Ep worth Leaeue the full right of way In the Church. He thought the Bectiou was in tended to give Christian Endeavor societies an additional lease of life in the Methodist Church. He wanted to see the Euworth League installed as the young people's so ciety of the Church, and all encouragement lor the organization of other young people's societies in the Methodist Church should be shut off. Dr. Maifield, of Nebraska, wanted the Epworth League to have a full and free in dorsement oJ the Conference, and other young people's societies to understand that they were not at home in the Methodist Church, but were occupying the territory of the Epworth League while in the Metho dist Church. Only the Epwortbs Need Apply. The motion to strike out tbe section re sulted in a vote of 265 for to 161 against. It was a decided victory for the stalwart Epworth League. A motion was Immediately made to have the section which had been stricken out at tached as a loot note. Dr. Kvnett, Dr. Leonard and several others made ringing speeches in behalf of the Christian En deavor societies. There were thousands of loyal young people, they said, in the young people's societies connected with the Metho dist Church, and they were perfectly loyal to the Church. They should be recognized. Tbe section was added as a foot note. Chaplain McCabe aroused the greatest ap plause of the day. He arose to a question of privilege, and announced that he had just received a subscription of 510,000 to as sist in the erection of Methodist headquar ters in the city oi Rome. The gentleman who gave so liberally was Bev. G. A. Beeder, of the East Ohio conference. Other sections of the rules intended to govern the Epworth League and other young people's societies connected with the "Methodist Church were then taken up. They provide that the league shall have officers who shall report to the District and General Conferences. Made Members of Quarterly Conferences. Dr. Buckley held that It would not be wise to make the presidents of the local leagues members of the Quarterly Confer ences. A section providing that all pres idents oithe Epworth League must be mem bers of the Methodist Episcopal Church and members of the Quarterly Conference was adopted. Mr. Shaw, of Iowa, made a very neat speech advocating the idea of giving the young people of the Epworth Leagues the right to elect their own officers, rather than to allow the Quarterly Conference to assist the leagues in the election of their presi dents. He said: I feel Inclined to trust too young people. 1 would rather trust your children than trust your fathers, my brethren. I am of the sa'me opinion as Robert Burdctte, form erly of the Hawkeye: "The world Is better than It was before you came Into It, and It will be better still when, you get out of It." Laughter.

F. Berry as editor of the Epworth Herald. The election was prac tically unanimous. Trying to Wipe Out Ministerial Politics. The report" of the Committee on Itiner ancy was taken up, and J. M. Caldwell, of Chicago, got the floor. He held that the removal of the time limit would wipe out a good deal of clerical politics. Dr. J. M. King, of New York, declared that the re moval of the time limit would be the great est advanoe step taken by the Methodist Church in 50 years. After Dr. King, half a dozen speakers in succession clamored for the removal of the time limit. Dr. Buckley now got the floor. He de clared that the time limit was first adopted to relieve Bishop Asbury In trying to get a stubborn pastor removed. He declared that the conference was in too great a hnrry to abolish the time limit Tbe time was ex- J tended to five years at the conference of 888, and now be'fore a solitary man has had time to live out a five-year term this con ference rushes in to remove the limit en tirely. "Why have we had no heresy in the church?" he asked. "Because our minis ters have not had an opportunity to remain long enough to infect the churones with anv heretical Ideas. Our pastors have been obliged to labor for the conversion of souls in order to show that they were good for something. I plead for the itinerancy as it now exists." The Time Bale Bemslns as It Is. Dr. Bridgeman, of Michigan, offered a substitute to provide for special cases in which the Bishops might disregard the time limit. The substitute was tabled. Dr. Belt, of Ohio, declared that it would be as sensible to pull up trees every three or four years and plant them again as to move the ministers from place to place every five years. He wanted the clerk taken out of the itinerant plan of the church. A long squabble took place over the clos ing speech of the debate by the Chairman of the minority. The Chairman, Dr. Ed wards, wanted to introduce Dr. Palmer to make the closing speech. By a remarkably shrewd move, the friends of the minority report got the minority report introduced as a substitute, and it was railroaded almost to completion before the friends of the major ity report were aware of it. Vigorous efforts were made by those who wished to see the time limit removed, but they were completely outstripped by the shrewdness of the opposition. The minority jeport was adopted by a vote oi 293 to 263 against, and the five-year time limit will remain as it is. The conference then adjourned. HORSFORD'S ACID PHOSPHATE, A. Nerve-Food and Tonic The most effective yet discovered. Thousands of Dollars I spent trying to find a cure for Salt Rheum, which I bad 13 years. Physicians said they never saw so severe a case. My less, back and nrms were covered by the humor I was unable to Ho down In bed, could not walk without crutches, and had to have my arms, Mr. S. G. Dernr. back and less bandaged twice a day. I began to take Hood's Sar saparllla and soon I could see a change. The flesh became more healthy, the sores soon healed, the scales fell off, I was soon able to give up bandages and crutches, and a happy man I was. I had been taking Hood's Sarsaparilla- for seven months; and since that time, 2 years, I have worn no bandages whatever and my legs and arms are sound and well." S.

But I do not only preserve them; I also renovate, alter and repair. What to the Inexperi enced eye seems impossible, I will do with your damaged Furs. Also that my summer rates for all work in fur are now in force. Not only applies this to the making of new Fur Garments, but also to all repair work, be It altering, renovating or other wise repairing. It means a big saving to you in dollars and cents and to me it means that my Fur Department will know no dull season. These summer rates are already telling; tbe work is coming In faster and faster, day by day. Very likely you have been patronizing my Hat Department ere this. Then you know that I do not do things by halves; jnst as pains taking, as prompt and conscien tious as I am with my Hats, I am with my fur work. I do not ask you to patronize me once. I am striving to enjoy your patronage always, and my business methods, promptness, fairness and superior work manship ought to accomplish this.
