SACRED SNAKE-KATUKS.
Kellgious Sect in Oklahoma Dines on
Snnctiflcd Serpents.
Guthrie, Okla.. April 2. Considerable
excitement exists In Oarlleld and
Woods counties over the formation of
a new and weird religious sect, styled
the Perfect und Immaculate Hody of
Christ. Over 400 people have Joined
the strange sect and the interest Is In
creasing. Meetings are being held
nightly In a biz farm house.
The preachers call themselves "sanc
tified tlesh-eaters," and say they are
proof against poison. At a meeting
Friday night one preacher, named
"Red" Shearer, brought forth a box
containing four or five snakes. He al
lowed the reptiles to wind around his
neck and then bit several nieces of
Jlesh out of them. These delicious mor
sels he placed on a plate and passed
them among the congregation, bidding
his flock to eat the morsel and be saved.
Twenty-five people. Including six or
Beven women, obeyed his mandate.
At the close of the sermons the peo
ple gather around the altar and em
brace and kins each other. Great In
dignation Is felt among the majority
of citizens over the Htrunge rites of the
new sect, and trouble is expected.

Washington, April 2. Chief Hazen, of
the Becret service, lias received Infor
mation from his agent In New York of
the arrest of Emanuel Nlnger, the mak
er of one of the most dangerous series
of counterfeit notes known to the ser
vice. Nlnger, It Is said, has been en
gaged since 1879 In the manufacture of
$10, $20, $50 and $100 United States notes
with the pen nnd brush of such excel
lence as to deceive even experts.
Up to within a short time there has
been absolutely no clue to cither the
maker of the notes or the shover. It Is
reported that Ninger has made a full
confession, and evidence found at his
house In Flagtown, N. J., confirms his
story. The arrest Is regarded as one
of the most Important In the history
of the service.

REPORTS ' OF DISTRICTS
Continued from Page 1.
In conclusion he said that the need
of a forward movement is very appar
ent. Advance toward the- prohibition
of liquor is too slow, considering the
cruel results It Is producing In the dis
organization of social life and Its crime
producing operations. A common love
for humanity should arouse the church
to personal duty along the line. The
Christian Sabbath is in danger of be
ing jjliie-traoked by socialism and avar
ice. The decalogue is being trampled
upon by the millions. He asked to
have the charge reduced by making; a
new charge of Lackawanna. There
are more than fifty Kpworth leauga
chapters In the district with a mem
bership approximating 4,000.
These reports were followed by a talk
by Rev. Dr. Manley 8. Hard on
"Church Extension." He said that
since the society had been founded the
Wyoming conference has given $28,754.
The donations aside from that received
from churches amounts to $5,850 during
the past year. The apportionment for
the coming year is $6,000. At noon the
session adjourned.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the anni
versary of the Historical society was
celebrated. Dr. Hard presiding, and was
quite largely attended. After the sing
ing of a hymn. Rev. Bishop B. Carruth
offered prayer. The reports of the
president, secretary, treasurer and
archivist were called for after respon
sive reading. Dr. Sprague, the archi
vist and librarian, was the only one
of these officers not elsewhere engaged,
and reported the receipt of books of In
terest, papers, etc. Dr. Sprague said
that his time Is so much occupied that
It Is Impossible for him to attend to
the duties of archivist and accordingly
he moved the election of Rev. J. K.
Peck, of Kingston, who Is much Inter
ested In these matters. The first ad
dress was by Lowell Harding and was
a history of Methodism in Binghamton.
The next address was by -Lyman C.
Floyd, of Scranton, on some of his asso
ciates. Among those he spoke bf were
Zacharlah Paddock and Dr. George
Peck. Mr. Floyd was followed by Rev.
Henry Wheeler, D. D., director In the
Philadelphia conference Historical so
ciety. He spoke on the history of
Methodism and termed the present as
preeminently the history making period
of this denomination. A careful exam
ination of the legislation of Methodism
for the past two or three decades
showed It to an exceptionally fine and
did much to give it an impetus. The
contemplation of the future warrants
the assertion that our posterity will
pronounce us the history making gen
eration of the church. The various
great changes made In the operation
and government of the church were
spoken of as well as the resulting
changes. This was termed the period
of changes, the foundations of Method
Ism being made stronger and deeper
than ever before and the men who lived
from 1860 to 1830 will be considered the
par-excellence of Methodism.
OFFICERS OF SOCIETY.
The officers of the Historical society
are: President. Mantey S. Hard; vice
presidents, the presiding elders; re
cording secretary, J. F. Warner; treas
urer, I. N. Shlpman; corresponding1
secretary, C. A. Benjamin; archivist
and librarian, J. K. Peck.
The Veterans' association met at 3
o'clock and elected the following offi
cers for the ensuing year: President,
Rev. P. R. Tower, of South Canaan;
first vice president. Rev. J. B. Santee,
of Binghamton; second vice president,
Rev. J. B. Davis, Camptown. r-a.; Bec
retary and treasurer, Rev. N. J. How
ley. The second of the series of five his
torical lectures was given at 4 o'clock
this afternoon, this one being by Dr.
H. W. Rogers, of Drew Theological
seminary. These lectures are more
particularly upon church history ami
are exceptionally profitable. The first
one was to show how we have learned
to know the people of Babylonia while
the others will show how the history of
the Babylonians, demonstrates In a
wonderful manner that the statements
In the book of Genesis and In fact all
of the books of the Old Testament, arc
true. His lecture yesterday afternoon
opened with a description of Assyria
and Babylonia and of the Bights and
wonders abounding In these countries.
The rediscovery of Nineveh and Baby
lonia and the decclpherlng the ancient
languages of these people which must
necessarily be very slow.
The greater part of the address was
divided Into two parts, decipherment
and excavation. The ruins at Persep
olis were mentioned In particular and
of the remains of inscriptions found
there, and of the numerous attempts to
decipher them. How many persons
spent years in this work and how at
last their efforts were crowned with
success, and how independent transla
tions of the annals of Tlglath Plleser I
compared almost exactly. He spoke of
the conducting of excavations In order
to secure remulns of inscriptions and of
architecture. The expedition sent out
under the.ausplceB of the University
of Pennsylvania and the excellent re
sults were particularly spoken of. In
closing he summarized by telling of the
remarkable results of these decipher
ments and of the excavations and of
the im)ortance attached to them for
every Bible student.
BOARD OF STEWARDS MEET.
The board of stewards convened this
afternoon and began the hearing of the
statements of the conditions of the su
perannuated ministers. According to
the needs of these worn-out gentlemen
the funds are divided equally among
three classes. ' The first will receive
about $150, the second about $125 and
the third about $100. The board is
made up of a pastor and a layman from
each district, as follows: President,
J. C. Leacock; W. W. Corbln, secre
tary;' A. J. Cook, treasurer; A. D.
Decker, W. M. Hlller, I. N. Shlpman,
W. T. Blair. Laymen R. J. Penwar
dun. C. W, Burnslde, Christian Wal
ters. E. W. Beckwith, William H. Stll
well. -
' There seems to be a unanimity of
opinion as to who will receive election
as delegates to the general conference
tomorrow morning. The opinion also
prevails that there will be but slight
opposition. The names of the gentle
men who will undoubtedly receive this
honor are Rev. John G. Eckman, of
Scranton; Rev. Manley 8. Hard, of
Kingston; Rev. Edwin B. Olmstead, of
Binghamton; Rev. A. J. Van Cleft, of
Oneonta. and Dr. L. L. Sprague, of
Wyoming seminary. The lay electoral
delegates will meet tomorrow after
noon at 2 o'clock. There is no doubt
that George S. Bennett, of Wllkes
Barre, and A. I. Decker, of Waverly,
will be elected, although other names
will be placed In nomination.
The Hogan Investigation committee'
met this morning for a few minutes
and again this afternoon. Mr. Hogan
was present at these sessions. He told
a Tribune representative Just before
the afternoon session that as yet no
charges had been preferred.- against
him. He could not be found after the
last session. The committee is exceed
ingly desirous that -Mr. Hogan retract
some of his statements or that he
apologize. This Mr. Hogan absolutely
refuses to do. He made but few state
ments before the committee and In ev
erything is exceedingly guarded, say
ing that what he has to say he will ut
ter before the conference where all can
hear. He Is accompanied by a stenog
rapher, but she has not yet been al
lowed to attend the sessions of the
committee. Mr. Hogan says that he
has not changed his position In the
least and Is Just as determined as ever
to expose the existing evil. The mem
bers of the committee are very guarded
and refuse to disclose any information,
Mr. Hogan, however, la not so close
mouthed and talks quite freely In
about the same strain that he has pre
vious to the conference.
. In addressing the committee Mr. Ho
gan said In part; ' "After ten years of
hard work and good success In my
ministerial labors never having passed
a year without a revival service and
leaving every church I ever served to
pay a higher salary when I departed
than when I came, I was informed by
my presiding elder .that he could not
send me to a decent place because of
my active efforts in behalf of reform
and against brood inherited lies which
have cursed church and state for. more
than a generation. I. had not asked
favors In the way ot appointments; I
was not invited to meet the bishop or
given a chance to speak for myself be
fore elders In cabinet and I did not see
lit to intrude the case upon them. Be
cause of these facts and in view of the
character of the appointment to which
I was assigned I believed and still be
lieve that I was made the victim of a
partisan, malicious and sinful discrim
ination, and I have evidence to prove
that many members of the conference
and public generally viewed the matter
in the same light."
In view of these facts and others he
concluded that It was the policy of
those In authority to encourage the li
cense voting sinners and to humiliate
legal preachers who stand hv the rleo.
laratlons of the church. He wrote to
Misnop Andrews and offered to take
the appointment if ho could preach the
truth on the saloon question. Bishop
Andrews declined to censure the treat
ment he had received and Hogan would
not take charge. He felt the appoint
ment to be an Insult, and now feels that
his action was a refusal to be Imposed
upon, and not a refusal to work.
Regarding his sermons from his pul
pit he did not discuss Prohibition in a
narrow sense, but rather preached and
practiced righteousness. He believed
that church members and ministers
should not leave Christ out of their
religion on election day and vote for
license parties and candidates. It was
not necessary to vote the Prohibition
ticket but they should not vote for a
license party. The question is not will
a man go to hell if he does not vote for
the Prohibition party, but will he get
to Heaven by voting for a. whiskey
party. We ought to use the pulpit for
the great work of a preacher of right
eousness. I am accused of preaching
and working for the Prohibition party;
I am a Christian and Methodist, there
fore a Prohibitionist.
REPORT ON HOGAN CASE.
The members of the committee say
that they expect to be able to report
tomorrow morning. Mr. Hogan has
but little to say or do with the other
ministers In attendance. He takes no
part in the discussions or actions of the
session and is present but a small part
of the time.
Last evening In connection with the
conference session occurred the anni
versary oT the Educational society.
Addresses were given and there was
a concert by the Olee, Banjo and Man
dolin clubs of Syracuse university.
Rev. Levi L. Sprague presided and with
him were seated on the platform Rev.
Hugh McDermott. of Kingston, Bishop
Vincent, Prof. Albert Leonard, princi
pal of the High school, J. E. Rogers,
president of Board of Education, and
Rev. J. H. Race. The exercises opened
with prayer by Mr. McDermott after
which a concert was given followed
with an address by Btehop Vincent.
He Bald:
"The subject of education has al
ways been dear to the heart of Metho
dists. I am happy tonight to speak in
behalf of higher education. We are as
human beings surrendered to God to
be all we can be. When a man conBe
crates himself to God, he consecrates
his whole being, therefore he should de
velop his intellect. We believe In the
public schools and that they prepare the
way for Christian culture but we also
believe that our young people should
have seminary and college tralnlhg. It
Is the duty of every minister to inspire
his young people to go to college. I
have thought if I should ever preach
again I would have a class of those In
tending to go to college. We can do
a great deal more than taking up col
lections for education. We can Inspire
the young people by InBtllllng In them
a deBlre for learning."
