1'ioin tlif Church Economist.
The Mt-tlindlst Church Is one of the
most highly organized, or rather Is the
most highly organized, of nil the Pro
tectant driinomlnatloiis. Hut without
K'dnR Into minute detail we muy say
hrlelly that the hoard of blHhops Is the
JilKhest order In the Methodist system.
It consists of twenty-one. persons who
ate elected by the general conference to
Jill Hie vacanrles by death or deposition
a bishop cannot resign. It Is within
the power of the General conference to
enlarge this number If, In Its opinion,
the needs of the church require. The
new bishop Is ordained with elaborate
ceremonies, and, Methodists claim, with
true apostolic succession through the
AVesleys.
Of Uiesa . twenty-one men. eighteen
have supreme ami wellnlgh arbitrary
jurisdiction over world-wide Method-is-ui,
and two of these are practically
retired, thus reducing the active force
to sixteen. How this supervision shapes
Itself into routine may be Indicated
to show the extent and character of
this authority. There are In the Meth
odist church 121 conferences, 103 of
which are in this country, while 21 arc
distributed through India, China, South
America. Mexico and Europe. These
conferences may be called the grand
divisions of Methodism. They are
always subdivided into two or
more districts, and represent from
from CO to 300 or more "charges"
or churches. Each of these confer
ences holds an annual session, at
which a bishop must preside. He has
associated with him in authority on
Mich occasion what is known as the
"cabinet." a body composed of the
bishop nnd the presiding ciders of the
conference. The presiding elder. It
should be said, is the chief executive
of each district conference, and Is him
self n person of great, authority. At
each conference the bishop, In consul
tation with his cabinet, decides upon,
appoints and announces the pastorates
for the coming year, and from this de
cision there is no appeal. A Methodist
minister must either take his asslgn
l.icnt or disobey orders and practically
quit the ministry. Only very few ex
ceptional reasons justify such .dlsobed
icnen In the eyes of his fellow-min-islirs
and the public opinion of the
ihurch.
Thus, theoretically at least, these
twenty-one bishops have In their ar
bitrary power the location nnd work of
the no.OOO ministers of the Methodist
cnurcn a power wnicn cannot linu a
parallel outside of the Roman Catholic
ihurch, If indeed it be equaled ithere.
It will he observed that the Metho
dist bishops nre not confined to a dio
cese. The bishop, however, has nil
episcopal residence, though he may not
be much at home. The residences are
fixed by the general conference, and
the choice Is then made by the bishops
themselves In the order of thcr senior
ity. Thus it happens that a bishop of
ten officially lesldes at a great distance
from the scene of the work with which
he is most prominently Identified,
Bishop Vincent's home, for example. Is
at Kansas City, though he Is common
ly associated with Chautauqua Inter
ests. In addition to these varied and im
portant tasks within the bounds of our
country, two or more of the twentv
nne bishops nre chosen to visit the for
eign conferences. These men should be
carefully distinguished from what are
known as missionary bishops, the only
Methodist bishop corresponding to the
Anglican bishop that Is, with a well
defined nnd permanent dloce.se, and
who therefore corresponds pretty close
ly to a presiding elder, though he has
presiding elders under him, These visit
ing bishops travel throughout the world
and are effective everywhere.
It will be seen from this cursory
sketch that the group of Methodist
bishops are vested with more power
than any body of ecclesiastics in the
Piotestnnt church. As Bishop Fallows
of the Reformed Episcopal church once
remarked: "A Methodist bishop has
more power in his little finger than I
have In my whole body." It only te
malns to bo said that this group of men
exercise their enormous powers with
rare wisdom, moderation and fidelity.
THE MARKETS.
Wnll Street Itevluw.
New York, Jnn. 22. Trailing In stocks
today was of small proportions even for
u tiaturday'B brief session. The market
generally left off with a steady tono at
slight recessions In values. No outside
Interest was apparent and room traders
transacted most of tho business. Com
minion houses hnd but few orders cither
way. CotiRolhUtcd Gas and Metropolitan
Street Hallway and a fow other special
Issues monopolized the traders' atten
tion. Sugar declined fractionally: Man
hattan was moderately firm, Consolidated
Gas rose Hi, Metropolitan Street Hall
way 24, and Third Avenue advanced 2U
on liilliienccs that had been operating
nil the week. No liquidation of Import
ance was noted today, txcept in a few
Isolated cases, Including Omahn nnd Jer
sey Central. Tho total Bales wcro 123,000
shares.

Water us I'rcucious m Itrandy.
A. H. Kills, ot 'Portland, Ore., wlillo on
iv visit to Asrenslon Island, met an tld
friend, who shock hands, reached down
u co.it from a pcir nnd put it on, saying:
"Uxcuso my not putting on a shirt, will
you 7"
'Of course, of course," replied Sir. Kills.
"Take oft morn of your clothes If you'll
feel moro comfortable."
"X no; It's not that, hut tho fact Is I
haven't U shirt clean enough to put on.'
Mr. Kills, says tho Portland Oiegonlan.
could not murmur his surprlso at this
htrango circumstance and endeavored to
look sympathetic, Tho friend coutlnlted:
"1 daro suy you think It odd that I don't
have them washed?"
Mr. Kills, hardly knowing what to say,
Inquired: "Why don't you?"
The friend unfolded a hoirllilo tale to
the effect that the water supply ot tho
island consisted principally of what was
distilled by a condenser, a small quan
tity being obtained from Dampler's drjps
mid Iirandoth wells; that water was nl
woys so scarce that It was served out
like n ration of rum, only mora fcpurlngly,
the allowance In prosperous times being
two gallons a day per man.
When clothes were sent to tho wash
the water for washlntr them had to he
Sfnt with them. Hut the condenser, tt
tha'.MIme, hud been out of order for
some nine or ten days nnd everybody on
the Island had been put on short ullow
once, so that they had not enough for
drinking, much less for washing either
themselves or their clothes.

Those Dreadful Sores
Thoy continued to Spread In Spite
of Treatment but Now They are
Healed -A Wonderful Work.
"For many years I liavo been a great
sufferer with varicose veins on one of my
limbs. My foot and limb becamo dread
fully swollen. When I stood up I could
feci tho blood rushing down tho veins of
this limb. One day I accidentally hit my
foot against some object and a soro broko
out which continued to spread and was
exceedingly painful. I concluded I
needed a blood purifier and I began taking
llood'a Sarsaparilla. In a short timo
those dreadful sores which had caused
mo so much suffering, began to heal. I
kept on faithfully with Hood's Sarsapa
rilla, and in a short timo my limb was
completely healed and tho sores gavo rao
no more pain. I cannot bo too thankful
for tho wonderful work Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla, has done for me." MRS. A. E.

Such a course would have keenly disappointed thousands who had neglected to join the club.
The case was laid before Dr. Ridpath, and he generously consented to our having another edition, but only one-half as many
as the former one. But he insists that no more shall be sold at this price.
With this absolute limit reached, there is NO TIME TO LOSE if you would secure this greatest of histories of the
World's nations and peoples at half the publishers' regular prices. .

Ridpath's
History of
the World
If you don't know the unique place
this work holds in tngl'ih literature
read a minute it's more than Interesting.
John Clark Ridpath, A. M., LL. D.,
is one of the most eminent historians of
this or any other time. He spent over
forty years in writing this History of the
World. We'd like vou to get a clear
understanding of this wonderful work,
but it's hard to convev by telling.
Dr. Ridpath's work" suffeis much sim
ply because that's nothing to compart it
with in this whole world.' No other his
tory has attempted to cover such a scope
yet it covers it thoroughly concisely
accurately.
You will 'some day feel the need of this
greatest of all histories. Buy It now
while you can share in the benefits we
have obtained from the publishers.

No other history contains onehalf as many
essential facts of the world's past
No other history ever recorded the progress of the Races of Mankind from the
beginning down to the present day in fact, thin is no othtr history of mankind today
In any language. True, you can. procure histories of some of the greater and a few
. of the minor races separately partial records for the most part by various histo
rians. True, also, you can consult the encyclopedias tor abstract facts and Incidents
of various times and countries, though no consecutive or accurate record can thus be
obtained except bv the student. But in Ridpath's History of the World vou read page
after page of the most delightful un-history-like narrative In which Is told connectedly
the story of man from the original stock, through ntry cut of the many ethnic
branches of the black, the brown and the ruddy races till without effort, of memory,
you've a clear idea of all the existing branches of the great Human Family as well
as the paths they've followed down the centuries from the beginning.
You'll know why some nations have declined why others liave risen why
others are yet destined to rise and fall. You'll read of every Important incident in
every nation's history of every age with no cumbering of unnecessary detail.
You'll start at random any one of the
Eight Massive Volumes
and It'll be long past bedtime before you lay it down and that's only treating it on the one side as a work of absorbing
vittrest as fascinating as a romance I
Perhaps Its greatest value Is as a reference work for as such it has been acknowledged the "best in any language of any
time." By reference work we mean Its use as an encyclopedia of Information about every country past and present everv
race and tribe of ethnic Importance that has ever trod this earth from the beginning in short, every important event, as well
as the makers of events.
Its unique system of Indexing a marvel of Interest In Itself enables one to turn quietly to any subject or class of
subjects country or class of countries events or series of events nation or branch of races of all times.
