THE CONFERENCE
BUSINESS TRANSACTED AT THE
THREE SESSIONS.
llev. J. B. Sweet WnB Again Hon
ored by nn Election to the Office of
Secretary of the Conference.
Standing Committees Named A
New Committee This Year Looking
Toward Enlarged Work Among
Men by Menus of the Brotherhood
of St. Taul.
The uiinual sessions of the Wyoming
Methodist conference opened yesterday
morning in the Methodist Episcopal
church, Kingston, with the Sacrament
of ttye Lord's supper, conducted by
liluhop John P. Newman und the cab
inet of presiding ciders, Plshop Nov-
inun has been seriously 111 and Is ex
ceedingly feeble. Indeed his condition
does not win rant the severe sltain of
presiding over a huge conference, and
It was announced that today Bishop
Joyce would be present to assist.
The Methodist church, In which the
conference is held, has recently been
remodeled and Is a large, handsome
edifice. The tine new organ tills tho
rear of the auditorium. The sessions
are unusually well attended and a
large number of clergymen responded
to their nams nt roll cull.
Rev. .1. H. Sweet, the popular secre
tary for the past two years was re
elected without opposition. Assistant
S?cretaries John V. Nicholson, ot
Wuverly, X. Y.: T. M. Furoy, of
Mountain Top; statistical secretarj',

Dr. John II. Race Introduced a res
olution weleomlng P.ishop Newman,
which was unanimously adopted. Thn
lilshop gracefully responded, In which
h" thanked the conference for Its en
thusiastic greeting, as three of tho
bhhops are Incapacitated by illness
he found It necessary to come, although
he was not really well enough. Ho
had crossed the continent nine times In
oleven months in Kplseopal work. Ho
believe, it possible for even a Metho
dist clergyman to travel too much.
This conference has a glorious histor
ical record, may It have a new bap
tUm and may Its evangelical element
never die out.
OAVHL PRESENTED.
Rev. O. L. Severson, of Plymouth,
then presented the bishop with a gav
el and n dressed stone from n house In
Plymouth where the first preaching of
Methodism in the valley was held in
17i,'J. The house was built In 17SS and
Is still used ns a dwelling. The gifts
are, at the close of the conference, to
pas Into the custody of the Historical
society. The stone aitKan found It
difllcult to repress the ruggedness in
the Mone but two sides are smooth
and thus is represented the hard and
rugged woik of those early days of the
saints whose religion was smooth and
beautiful.
Rev. Dr. M. S. Hard responded elo
quently In ncceptlne; tho souvenirs for
the bishop and then Introduced lllsbop
Newman's wife to the conference, af
ter which he spoke of the fact that the
bishop had Just celebrated his fiftieth
anniversary In the ministry and that
one of the members of the conference.
Rev. J. M. Wells, wai a classmate of
the bishop. Among others who ante
dated his sen lee In the mlnlstiy were
Revs. Parsons Uartlett, L. W. Peck,
1. W. Lencoek, S. G. Stevens and
.Stone.
The .subject of the method to bo ob
served in reporting mlslonniv collec
Uoih occasioned a prolonged discus
sion, which was followed by animated
argument over the one per cent, as
sessment of lnlnisteis' falaries lor the
Mtpormiuatos' fund. A resolution to
abolish the tnx failed to carry. It
was stated that thirty-three meiitb. rs
of the conference had neglected to pay
their percentage.
Rev. Dr. Mcrrow, the general secre
tary of the Ulble society, was Intro
duced and gae an address In the In
terests of his work. A list of standing

Jones, of Ringhamton, offered prayer
and Rev. G. A. Cure delivered the mis
sionary sermon from the text I Cor.
10:9: "For a great door nnd effect
ual is opened Into me and there are
many adversaries."
STANDS NEXT TO CHRIST.
The speaker said that In his opinion
Paul will stand next to Christ in his
kingdom. Ho was one of those who
regarded opportunity as a call. Spain
lias stood in the way and tho sword
of America has opened a door to mis
sionary work in the islands of the sea.
God had ulno taken the British nation
as a rod of iron this year In sending
General Kitchener with the forces of
civilization to the Soudan. Lord
Kitchener has also originated the Idea
of founding a memorial college on the
!pot where Gordon, who was a thous
and times more a saint than a soldier,
fell in death. Russia will keep her
hold on China and ns long ns sh-
keeps that hold, 'England will also keep
hers. Roman Catholic. countries
across the water sided with Spain In
the Cuban war. There was much anx
iety at one time as to what stand the
Roman Catholics In this country
would take. To their everlasting cred
it be It snld 'that when it came to a
question of loyally they stood by their
country and resolved to hold up Amer
ican Instltulons. In this country that
chinch must with the Protestant
church stand on its own merits. Said
the speaker:
"I would not have that magnificent
organization destroyed for the world,
but I would bring it up before the light
of American clvilzation of today and
thus make it the mightiest power for
good on earth."
He gave a A'ery optimistic view of
the future of Cuba, and Philippines
and spoke earnestly of the vast field
now open to mission work.
Rev. Marcus D. Ruell, T. D., dean of
Boston Theological seminary, gave a
lecture on the exegetlcal study of the
Philippines. Dean Buell is a forcible
speaker nnd his I o'clock lectures
promise to be Intensely Interesting. He
gave many practlcul Ideas regarding
the study of the Bible, asset ting that
It Is of pmcticallj small A'nlue to read
without unclei standing who wrote the
passage under consideration, the cir
cumstances and the place.
He said tint In rending the letter to
the Phllipplnns it is necessary to know
four things: First, about that gift
from Phlllppl to Paul, second, How
Paul's arilval in Rome affected thu
people: third, The division in the
church: fourth. The two typos of false
teaching of which Paul spoke. It Is
necessary also to comnr'hend the
strange and providential waj- In which
Paul came to Phlllppl. the unleiue In
terest thev took In his work and the
particular conditions AVhich surround
ed Ulm.
Th- fuet that Paul followed in his
preaching Christ the bloody footprints
of those whom he had formerly perse
cuted was emphasized,
THE EA'EXING SESSION.
Dr L. L. Sprugue presided ut the
evening hi'ssloii, which was the Mis
sionary society annlversur.v. Rev. Dr.
A. J. Palmer made the address. Dr.
Palmer was a soldier In the Civil war,
and has a famous lecord. He has a
son in the We'Slejun L'nlveislty Glee
club.
He spoke chiefly on the manner of
raising and expending money for for
eign lands with U.iiSl nutlve woikor3.
There are I!9,0u0 American mission
aries in foreign lunds, with 3,nsi nntlve
workers. There arc 5,000 hemic mis
sionaries. The collections last year have been
slow; Jllii.OOO more money was raised
thun before. The Buster programmes
weie very popuhu, 47S.OOO copies hav
ing been sulci, incidentally Dr. Palm
er spoke of the Pacific, coast, and said
that the reason of the comparatle in
activity theie is because ot the high

WORKMEN HAD A
NARROW ESCAPE
PLATFORM THEY HAD BEEN
WORKING ON GAVE WAY.
At the Time Tills Occurred They
Hnd Left the Platform and Were
Standing on the Bunting At First
It Was Thought That a Carriage
Had Fallen Down tho Shaft For
tunately No One Was Injured by
tho Fall of the Platform as No
One Was at the Foot,
The night force ot men employed in
widening the main shaft of tho Belle
vim mine had a thrilling escape from
Injury and probable death while nt
woik last night. The Avork Is being
pushed upwnrd from the foot of the
shaft, and Is in progress on both sides
of the double opening.
A largo platform had been erected
midway between tho surface nnd tha
foot, upon Avhlch the workmen staid
and cut the rock on cither side. Tho
men had been at Avork somo time nnd
were engaged In luying cross-beams
from the "buntings." They were all
standing nt different points In the
"buntings" when suddenly a loud crash
Avas heatd. and the noise sounded like
tho falling of a carriage from the head
to the foot ot the shaft.
Upon investigation it Avas discovered
that the platform from which they
ascended Into the "buntings," had gU--en
aAA-aj' and Avns dashed to pieces at
the foot of the shaft. Fortunately no
one was standing on the platform or
near the foot.
