Saturday evening occurred the anni versary of the Temperance society. The exercises opened with prayer by Rev. Ueorge A. Cure, of Athens, after which the Carnul trio, comnosed of Messrs. Race, Thomas and Jay, sans. The sneaker of the evening was Will II. Hiili r. of Parsons, pa. There were seated on the platform the following gentlemen, members of the conference Temperance committee: Chairman Rev. W. H. lliller. Rev. C. II. Newlng, Rev. O. O. Uetrs. Kev. O. A. Cure, Rev. J. L. Race. Uev. F. A. King and Rev. L. 11. Weeks. Mr. lliller delivered his famous lec ture, "The Charter Criminal." He said that he would throw no mud. Mud blinds nnd blinds the one who throws it ns Well as the one who Is hit. Truth etiliRhtens, mud cannot cut, truth Is sharper than a two-edsed sword, mud Is easily brushed away, truth hangs with great tenacity, if ye know the truth it shall make you free." He related an Indian legend, how "EaRle Eye," a famous Indian, had lived a charmed life because he posses sed a charmed charter. A maiden dreamt one night that If It should bo destroyed the preat evil Indian could bo sltln. The Indian chief Is to be found in the nation's capital, the track of blonl of the pursuer could be seen from th' mansion to the pour man's hut. His l-ath Is not yet a fact, but the hope Is entertained that it will be and that speedily. . He then spoke of the (treat sorrw, want and despair that result from this trnflic, and held that as men and Christians nil should be willing to work to break It down. There Is no such thing as a "resjiectable rumsell er." The license Is the charter of priv ilege of the cut-throat traffic. It was mude to make crime legal, and to make the rumseller Independent. SUNDAY SERVICES. Today (Sunday) was an Important day for Christian people in this city, Easter and conference meeting In forming one grand event, which will remain dea. to the hearts of church going people for many a day. The weather during conference week had been cold and dlsattreeable. but Sun day morning dawned bright and clear, and as the sun rose above the eastern hills, all men and all nature seemed to unite In the one salutation, "Peace on esrth, good will to men." The pleas antness of. the day and the prominence and ability of the men who occupied the various pulpits, caused every place or: n.nnflhlit n ka ilSkii.,lif til nl'lirv Bnri'tpO ' , The niost important services were at the Centenary church, where the bishop attended- At 8.30 o'clock a love feast was held conducted by Rev. H. M. Crydenwise. It was very largely at tended. The platform was decked ytth lilies and palms. Prayer was of fered by Rev. L. L. Sprague and after the singing of a hymn the bishop con ferred the order of deacon upon sev enteen young men, as follows: Joseph Brundell, Ferris D. Connell, C. M. Olm stead, S. D. Palmer. Melverln Anda riese, O. H. P. Armstrong, Edward W. Cavenaugh, A. D. Eastman, and the or der of elders upon James Rennlgan, Frank D. Haltsock, E. U Jeffries, O. H. Reynolds, L. E. Van Hlsen. John M. Connell, Leman Sanford and Thomas Barker. The collect for deacons was conducted by Presiding Deacon For syth and for elders by Presiding Elder Thorpe. Presiding Elder Eckman read the seventh to thirteenth verses of the fourth chapter of Ephesinns. The ordination followed, administered by the bishop, after which Presiding Elder Crydenwise read the first to sixteenth verses of the tpnth chaplPr of John, Bishop Vincent was assisted in the lay ing on of hands by Thomas Barker, Rev. J. B. Leacock, Rev. Edward Tay lor and Presiding Elder Latimer of the general conference. When the ordina tion service had been completed the bishop preached. His discourse was listened to with breathless silence by the two thousand people present, tie chose as his text the seventh verse of the fifteenth chapter of the Psalms,"He made known his ways unto Moses and his sets unto the children of Israel." He said: "flod was revealed unto his peonle. The most Irrational assumption Is that a father never speaks to his children. !od has revealed himself to us, and al though we may not comprehend we may apprehend him. When I was young I supposed that the bible was written In heaven, but ns I grew older I learned that his revelation to hu manity was entirely different. Cod re veals himself by ucU'ins. OoJ wrought and mini wrot under farylng ii'mil festatians of Ir.-plifUlon. (.bid's earlier inunifeytntlons Mere pot In books, l.ttt in actions. Another power which con-tn-l this world Is human Rovertniicnt. Absolute" monarchy, what power It Imn over h'cv.. There Is the power of na ture and religion nnd of personality. It Is almost exasperating to kuo how one political man can lead people nnd hold the thing lie privately proposes to do even in opposition to others. The power of personal Inllticnce is the power we do not fully measure. Hypnotism par tially explains It. These live powers control the world: Power of nature, power of human government, of re ligion, of wisdom and of personality. "The record of the bible showed that it controlled the people. He made known his ways by deeds and never wrote a book. He wrought deeds, the blind given their sluht, the lame given power to walk and the dumb spoke. I tell you men can talk when they have done something. Clod was never nearer than He Is today and the flowers which look so beautiful are not memories of the past, but of what Is today. All history Is under divine control. Throughout the ages God has given power to do what nature can never do. We call them miracles. I don't like word miracle, for he brings about his result through nntural laws. I do not believe that God has gone to sleep. While he gives us freedom he controls the outcome." MISSIONARY' MEETING. This evening at the Centenarv church the anniversary of the Missionary ko-A ciety was celebrated. The bishop pre sided and introduced Rev. A. B. Leo nard, D. D., corresponding secretary, of New York city, who delivered a stir ring address. At the same time at the Tabernacle was celebrated the anniversary of the Epworth league. Rev. O. L. Severson, Ph. D., presided, and an address was given by Rev. Joseph F. Berry, editor of the Epworth Herald. He spoke elo quently on the work of the young peo ple as carried on through the Epworth league. The various pulpits in the city were occupied by visiting clergymen. . At 2.30 o'clock at the Centenary church a memorial service was held at which time appropriate words were spoken and resolutions read upon the memory of those who-had died in the cdnference during the past year. The memory of Rev. Austin Griffin received particular attentlpn and his many kind deeds and words received just recogni tion. A meeting of the Junior leaKue was held at 4 o'clock and was largely attended. It was ted by Mrs. R. M. Hayes, superintendent of the league. At A.SO o'clock occurred the usual 'Ep worth league services, led by Mrs. A. V. Alexander, ! -ncv. J. C. Hopan addressed a meeting nt the Opera house this afternoon on Prohibition. - An audience numbering about 1,500 greeted the speaker and ac corded hearty applause when he was Introduced by B. K. Pike, chairman of the county Prohibition club. Rev. IIo gan said that he was a Christian Methodist and prohibitionist. We hear much about consecration and dedica tion, churches and people. What we need is consecration and dedication ourselves. Many people strain over the Sunday rr.lo.in lots swallow tho license j-arly. t'r.rist forced it It-sue and did not wait lor sentiment to- chnnsa. un like ministers today, when people wnnt a I'.iini.Ui r not n4is'd f li'-ense. The be.-t o;tii!nls con do Is to rebuke them. If a mlnUtcr rays something that i lcsn't please people, it thw that he liaa hit the mark. It sterns only In these days thut we must have preach ers that please everybody, the devil included. I don't attack anyone; I simply tell the truth. I a:n not to blame for conditions. I don't believe In 1 1 'iv. pern nee. Temperance means mod erate lit use. Total abstinence is Its prl-v,ii- iloini- jiivic Aith. Prohibition means legnl forbidding. I want the p.- ; i who say tliat Christ ignored politic to remember that he lived in days of monarchy and despotism white this Is a free country, and nil men are equal In politics. In a proper sense is the application of morality to public affairs the science of gov ernment. Ninety-five per cent of the church members support license, consequently those of us In the minority find ourselves forced to repudiate in politics, the min isters with whom we are con nected. Most ministers admit that li censes shouldn't be granted, yet they receive license voters Into fellowship. In this matter of temperance there is no room for honest difference of opin ions, for Christ says he who Is not with me Is against me. I believe min isters should preach a gospel which is truth and nothing but the truth. My sympathies are with the true church but my conflict is with ecclesiastical, political machines." The address was an argument for prohibition and the speaker took no occasion to make per sonal remarks. ( ni'SlNKS.S BREVITIES. STEEL TRADE. Dun & Co. report that the new combination has given a decided upward Impulse to steel billets, raising prices -at Pittsburg about $2 per ton. which has caused an advance of $1 per ton in Bessemer pig. and small ad vances, though not Improvement, In buying, of some finished products, the cost of which Is most affected by the cost of steel. The organization Is loose, ly said to cover all the Bessemer pro ducers In the country. COAL TRADE. Anthracite coal of the best quality sold last week at an average of $3.65 per ton. f. o. b In New York harbor, says Dun. Prices for other Blses were unchanged but firm, and the demand for coal was reported by the companies as a little better. The managers of the companies still refuse to make public any statistics of the out put of coal, but It Is understood on ex cellent authority that the amount Is well within the agreed limit. For March the production was about 2,800, 000 nnd the April limit has been fixed at 3 ono.000 tons. The new prices of bltu-. mlnoits coal went Into erffect on Wednesday. At Philadelphia the cir cular Is $2.35 per ton for delivery along side, and in New York the harbor price Is $2.80.

All classes of roads report an Increase over 189S, except eastern, other than the trunk lines, and the loss on the eastern Is due entirely to heavy losses reported by anthracite coal roads for February.

It is stated that the gold will not be put on board un til the last moment, and that If there should be any material increase in the supply of bills McnJay, the shipment will be cancelled. If the gold la forwarded it will Iw for the simple reason that the ex porters are unahe to procure tne diiis needed to muko their settlements abroad. The comparatively heavy decrease in the nana reserves which bring tne amount held In excess of the 25 per cent, required by law down to $17.AV,975, had no influ ence. In fact, operators were disposed to look upon tho bright side of things and were quick to take advantage of the fa vorable developments of tha day.
