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."

to elect Dr. J. 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.

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."

Look over your Furs? Mind,
this Is the season for the festive
moth, that relentless enemy of
jrur. Why taws cuances when
yon can navo your Furs pre.
served at my place for a trifle?
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.
