PRESIDING ELDER DEALE’S REPORT OF THE CONDI- TION OF AFFAIRS IN THE WASHINGTON DISTRICT— POORLY PAID MINISTERS AND HOMES DESTITUTE OP RELIGIOUS LITKRATCRE—BUSINESS TRANSACTED BY THE CONFERENCE TO-Da¥. The fourth day’s session of the Baltimore confer- ence of the Methodist Episcopal church was opened this morning at McKendree church, on Massachu- aetts avenue. Devotional exercises were con- ducted by Rev. Geo. W. Cooper, of Balttmore. Bishop Andrews then directed the journal to be | Tead, after which he cailed upon J. S Deale, the ing elder of the Washington district, who Submitted the following report: THE CONDITION OF THR WASHINGTON DISTRICT. Washington district has been characterized by | Seueral harmony and substantial progress, Whitle | the number of probationers falls short of what it Wasa year ago, Tam glad to know that there deen no in the spirit ot @hristian enter every branch of church wot les an advanved position and hard work. Our Sabbath s attendance and eMiceney; use our own publications: give considerable attention to the catechism, and are generally organized into juvenile missionary societies, “The “benev- olent “ collections are ‘consi 2 ot the previous year; ar- Tanging for all connectional collections. ‘The mis stonary collectton will be far in advance of last year. “We have been greatly helped in our mission- ary enterprise by the presence and labors of Rev. Jullus Soper, lately a missionary tn Japan; and in behalf of thé chureh in this district I express our high appreciation of his valuable services DELINQUENCIES IN PAYING MINISTERS’ SALARIES. For pastoral support a more iiberal provision has Deen realized at some points, although still inade- quate at others. With a few honorable exceptions Our method of providing for the support of the ministry is unsatistactory and often oppressive to the ministers themselves. The objection 1s not 80 much against the amount of salary allowed, al- though that could be increased in some of ‘our charges without overtaxing their ability, but it 13 the Way in which these salaries are paid, or, rather, not paid, that calls for reformation. Some of our Pastors, with salaries ranging trom five to eight jindred dollars, ‘had recelved less than. one ieatt the amount of’salary allowed atter eight or ten months of the conference year had and in Some instances closing up the year with a part of that sinall amount left unpaid. How paralyzing must such a method be to ministerial efficiency! ‘What a reflection upon our Methodism! LITERARY DESTITUTION. ‘The Umited circulation of our denominational Uterature within the bounds of this district has surprised and mortitled me. I have given attention to this subject, and am Prepared to state that not one-fifth of our official iembers take any of our church papera, while very. Many of our homes are conyparatively destituve of all Kinds of religious literature; homes that are supplied with that trashy, demoralizing literature with which all lands are hooded. This destitution exists in quarters where least suspected, in the city as well as the country; in the homes of ‘the rich as Well as those of the paor, and calls loudly upon us for reilef. Asa church We haw all the machinery for correcting this great evil; but the machinery is hot worked up tothe design. What is needed fs that we Individually Interest ourselves. in circulat- ing our church terature to the extent of our abil- ity. mu creased in number, THE HEALTH OF MINISTRRS. The health of my brethren in the mintstry has been generally good. One of our most earnest and Successful co-laborers was compelled to abandon his work for afew months on account ot feeble health. In the providence of God, however, be has been penmnitted to resume Ils position, and 1s hope- ful of compléte recovery to health. The sweet Jauga of the babe has been bushed in one of our Inthistertal homes; but hushed only to mortal ears. Irecord my gratitude to God for his marvelous Wate and care over me during the year, and to my brethren In the ministry and laity for their sympa- thy and co-operation. A VISITOR. The bishop introduced to the conference John Paul Cook, whom he described as “one of the chief workers in French Méthodisin.” On suggestion of the secretary W. R. Stricklen was added to the committee on statistics. ‘The call of the Cumberland district was then the presiding elder, G. W. Hobbs, making ‘The churacter’ of the ministers was Under the question *who are admitted on trial,” Henry W. Jones, J.J.P. Gray and B.F. Devries were continued on trial. W. D. Morgan, ©. W. Emory, W. H. Dell were elected to the order of elders, W. L. McDowell, H. F. Dowfis, W. R. Stricklen, F. L. Watson and Thos. R. Marsh were passed a3, deacons of the second class. ELECTED TO DEACON’S ORDERS. Presiding Elder Deale presented the application of Hamline church for the ordination of W. W. Buck. ‘The committee on examination reported that with a standard of ten, he recelved nine on exami- mation. By vote of the conference he was clected to dea- cons orders, ‘THE NEXT CONFERENCE. The last question was then taken up, “Where shall the next conference be held?” Rev. Dr. Naylor sald that he had a unanimous tn- vitatton from the official board of Eutaw church, Baltimore. A inotion that the Invitation be accepted was adopted by a rising vote without dissent. WHAT MR, DAVIS WANTS TO KNOW. A resolution providing that the various pastors should be required to report In open conference the number of probationers In their respective charges was offered by Rev. J. N. Davis, who sald that reports of the misslonary ‘collections were made, and yet reports of the spiritual condition of thé church were not made, Rev. Mr. Reiley stated that the discipline required, the one and did not require the other. ‘The resolution was laid on the table by a rising vote. On motion of Rev. Dr. Edwards 11 o'clock Mon- day morning was 1 ng the missionary sermon, to be delivered by Rev. J. W. Cornelius. THE STEWARDS’ REPORT. A preliminary report of the board of stewards Was made through Rey. Joel Brown. The appro- priation for the superannuated was $850, for the su- pernumeraries $700, for whe orphans and widows $3,535, for effective preachers $1,685. ‘The total of fons in the various districts and ctreults was 1. Key. Mr. Brown added: “Less $%, deducted for a counterfeit bill recetved in a collection.” Rev. J. W. Cooper presented the report of the cominittee on the distribution of the preachers’ ald fund, which amounts to $4,000. THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE SEMINARY. ‘The constdcration of the report upon the seml- Mary conference was then resumed. Rev. Dr. Harman, of Dickinson college, addressed the conference in reply to_the Van Meter of yesterday. He spol casin of the remark that the conference no longer entertained the same affection for Dickinson coi- lege and, after twenty-five years of devotion, was turning towanis a new love—a lady love. “Is tt true, then, that the affections for the college have deciined?” he asked. “I did not say that,” interrupted Dr. Van Meter, from his seat. “You sald that the affection was not what tt was before What is that but a declination?” asked the doctor, with some indignation. ‘The members of the conference, who were antict- pating a lively defense, greeted this Uittle passage with laughter. The doctor continued to argue that the fact that the college was in Pennsylvania, not in the bounds of the conference, had nothing to do with the ques- ton. He belleved that if the college had only 12 students from_ this conference {t was because the young men did not go anywhere. If the new female seminary only secured the same proportion it would not be inuch of a success, He thought that the Methodist church DID NOT YAKE MUCH INTEREST IN EDUCATION. ‘The ministers, either in the city or country, rarely went to college. Princeton and Lafayette colleges lcent bequests, and these had Sprang up in the same territory a8 Dickinson, latter could do the same under the same con- ditions. The doctor in speaking of the claims for the seminary as assuming in some measure the influence of woman, said: “You all know HOW A YOUNG MAN PEELS WHO IB IN LOVE.” “Did you ever have that: feeling?” asked a mis- chievous brother, to the great amusement of the conference. 5 “Feel what?” asked the doctor, turning upon the questioner with some yehemence. <yHeel love” persisted the unabashed questioner. “well,” docter, good naturedly, as soon as his Votce could be héard above the laughter, “to use the words of another, ‘I was not born of rocks or stone, but from mankind,’ and with this answer he th the discussion. He said that before the Di endowment had ‘been secured, before ft could take the place it should, a new object of favor comes up, He be- leved that the col was good work. The small number of students t them all under the personal influence of ro! & condl- {ion which was im ie tp Large col He Was not opposed to the Balt seminary, but he hoped that the college would not be thrust aside. He was opposed to comtroversy, and had not and id’not intend to say a harsh word. In conclusion, he said: “I think that Dr. Van Meter has exaggerated the tmy ce of this subject, Heig like a youthful lover, a stripling in love.” "Tis characterization of DrVan Meter was re- celved with laughter by the conference. THE MONEY QUESTION. Rev. Mr. Carroll, of Baltimore, then addressed the conference. He said that he believed most heartily in the necessity for, and importance of, the -pro- Serpe He did not believe that if the en- ire feld was given up to the that $1 could be for the new institution during coming yegr. If Dickinson college and other jects were excluded the friends of those probably be offended, and perhaps, after all, ther ‘Would hob be money enough secured to found seminary, and yet the other objects would have re- ceived nothing.) ‘THE PRESIDENT OF DICKINSON COLLEGE SPEAKS. Rev. Dr. McCauley, the president of Dickinson college, said that he had the kindifest feelings towards the men who were interested in this new bsg 83 roject. Since he had taken charge of the college, Eretve 8g0, ve money contributed had come in slowly, but had been given with tears and pray- ers consecrated to the work. was an appar- ent ant between the college and the semi- nary, he believed that the fi of the new a Should persuade the tolimit their aid specially to the pemiaary, He, it that ie would be bertae f present ail the objects to the People and let them decide in which channel they Should direct their eftor Rev. Dr. Edwards offered asan amendment to the committee's Feport that “we recommend along With the other objects which may be named the establishment of f Baltimore conference female seminary as worthy of the largest offerings may be bestowed.” Rev. Dr. Van Meter stated that the amendment simply reverses the pfoposition of the committee. ‘This latter throws Dickinson college and the cen- fenary into the back ground, because they require less efforts, A RELPMERT FOR DICKINSON COLLEGE. Rey. Mr. Richardson said that, following the Bibit- { cal precedent, where st was declared that {t was not well for to be alone, they now proposed to give Dickinson college a helpmeet. ‘The collece has Dow an endowment of $300,000, the resuit of dirty years of effort, and now sometiiing could be done | for a seminary. Not loving Dickinson less or the | Seminary more, but recognizing the latter as a ne- cessary adjunct in the educational facilities of the conference, and that Dickinson 1s well grounded, tt Was now possible to make this effort a specialeffort. | He believed that the effort would suceeed. | Rev. Mr. Courtenay sald that there was no doubt | of the need of such an iusttution. He sald that the Methodist church had been losing its young People, because of their education in schoois of | other denominations. He stated that of the $134,000 raised at the centennial {n 1866, $65,000 went | to Dickinson. S av went onto say that Dr. Harmon | favored the edtication of the Indians, the negroes | and all mankind, “GIRIg, TOO,” called out the doctor from his seat. “I did not ex- clude them. I said that they ought to beeducated, but that they ought to have another kind.” Rev. John F. Goucher, the donor of the ground for the use of the proposed seminary, was called upon, and he spoke IN FAVOR OF THE ENTERPRISE. He sald that in the centennial of 1866 the offerings amounted to elght millions—four times as much as 1t was thought posstble to collect. Of thts amount the Baltimore conference gave $223,000. The aver- age per member was $7.78 At the present time there are 60,000 members in the state of Maryland alone; 20,000 of these are colored. ‘They have an in- stitution started, This leaves 40,000 with no pro- vision made by the church for the education of the | girls, “ He sald that one-third of the population ot Maryland could be classed as members or adherents of the Methodists, He beltoved that the wealth of the members represented a large pro- portion of the wealth of the state. The financtal ability has increased, and it is but fair to believe that the centennial contributions this year will exceed $223,000. In view of the need of such an in- stitution he did not dare to say that 1t could not be done. He was a luate of Dickinson College, but, while not yiel ding in devotion to his almé mater, he could still hold out a helping hand to his le sister. Rev. J. N. Davis sald that he would rather do without his sugar or without his coffee than to dis- pense longer with a female seminary within the unds of this conference. The speaker had three daughters, but _he was compelled to send them to schools of other denominations. ts n eloquent appeal behalf of the seminary was made by Rev. CW. Baldwin, Rev. Mr. Bishop said that he noticed that mai young men passed by the instituttons of the churcl and entered other places for their education. Why they did so he did not know, but they seemed to make good Methodists. Ho did not belleve that the present plan of the school, if carried, would meet the want tn the conference, DR. EDWARDS’ AMENDMENT LAID ON THE TABLE. ‘The question then recurred on Rev. Dr. Edwards’ amendment, ab printed above. This amendment Was laid om the table, for the reason that it did not give the seminary the first place in the recommend- ations of the conference in the offerings of the People. THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMMITTEE ADOPTED. ‘The question then recurred on the recommenda- tion of the committee, which read as follows: “That, while commending to the preachers and members of our church in the Baltimore confer- ence the endowment of Dickinson college and the Centenary institute as worthy of the largest offerings which may be bestowed‘upon them by those Whose predilections dispose them so to do, the conference make the foundation ana endowment of a femaie college the special object of effort.” ‘This proposition, Which was the committee's slightly modified, Was adopted unanimously, amid the clapping of the hands of the members. he further consideration of the semtnary report Wasdispensed with until Monday morning. CONFERENCE TRANSFERS. A resolution, signed by Revs. Courtenay, Speake and Dashiell, requesting the bishop not to make transfers from other conferences unless equivalent transfers are made from this was adopted. ‘The bishop said that he hoped the business would be so advanced that the conference might. be able to adjourn Tuesday afternoon, so that he could reach Lynchburg, Va., to meet With the Washing- ton conference oil Wednesday morning. The conference then adjourned. ‘THE MISSIONARY SOCIETY. At the meeting of the missionary society of the Baltimore M.E. conference last evening, at Mc- Kendree ME. church, Rev. Julius Soper, returned misstonary from Japan; Rev. Mr. Parker, a re- turned missionary trom India, and Rey. Mr. Reed, secretary of the inisslonary society of New York, made addresses, ‘The Lay Conference. DELEGATES TO THE GENERAL. CONFERENCE ELECTED AND RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.

Whilé the tellers were counting the ballot, the committee on resolutions, through the secretary, W. M. Price, made a report. ‘THE RESOLUTIONS. The report favored such a change in the discip- Aine as to make It obligatory upon the preacher to consult the stewards and leaders before taking final action admitting or dismissing members, and that such persons shall be square on the deoks The delegates to the convention are requested to oppose an extension of the term of ttin- eracy beyond three years, and to preserve the rights and duties of the presiding elders.

THE DISTRICT CONVENTION QUESTIONED—CLALMS OF THE DEMOCRATIC JACKSON ASSOCIATION. The 10th district democratic club met at 1230 Pennsylvania avenue last night, with J. Emmner, Jr., chairman, and G, E. La Barre,secretary. A dis- cussion sprung up as to the right of the “so-called central committee,” as it was termed by some pres- ent, to name the place and time for holding the District convention. The chairman claimed that the Jackson democratic association was the only representative body of the District, and to them belonged the right of calling the convention and of sending delegates to the icago convention, and he was heartily in favor of sustaining any action that may be taken by the Jackson association in the matter. Mr. La Barre was of the same opinion. Resolutions were passed Without opposition, set forth that “the Jackson democratic asgdclation is the oldest and only representative body of democrats of the District, of Columbia entitled to send. delegates to the Chicago convention; that the 10th district de- mocracy recognize them as such and tender their hearty co-operation in matters relating to the com ing campaign; that as a certain Dody of men (carpet-baggers), calling, themselves the democratic central committee, have organized themselves 1n ‘opposition to the Jackson association, and as they have taken upon themselves the responsibiitty of naming the place and time for holding the District convention, Which rightfully Delongs 0 the Jack- Son association, therefore, the 10th district club ignore the call and refuse to send delegates to tho said convention.” Story of a Spendthrift. THE CAREER OF AMAN WHO MADE FORTUNE AFTER FORTUNE TO SCATTER SILVER IN SHOWEES. From the Denver Republican, The suicide of George H. Fryer, ex-millionatre and Spendthrift, is the talk not only of the.town, but ofall the state. Fryer came to Colorado inthe early dayg and since that time has been conaidered one of the leading citizens. Fryer Hill, at Lead- ville, was named after him. On this now famous hill, the richest in the carbonate belt, Fryer made the’ first location, “The New Dicovery,” which Produced millions. After Fryer sold it he was one of Colorado's sbrewdest, miners and ras thor. Oughiy posted as to geological formations. ‘The Leadville boom Was at its helght when Fryer Hill ‘Was not thought ofjas contalning mineral, Mr. Fryer, after studying the mineral formations, con- cluded that the carbonate belt necessarily ex- tended into that hilland he set a force of men at work developing. His friends laughed at him, but he kept or sinking and the resultwas “The New Discovery,” Which produced a furore tn the mining ‘wo! Since he has peen in Colorado he has made and Jost.a dozen fortunes, being e1 in mit in all parts of the state. He Was a high liver, an ‘once he procured a fortune he did not rest till he had spent tall. In spending his money he was thesCoal Oil Johnny” of the west. Hisextrava- gance and liberality to his friends caused his finan- cial ruin. For the past year he has been trying to Tetrieve his fortunes in the mines, but for once in his life fate was against him. While he haa money his bast days in the mines seemed to have passed. Last summer he married Miss Cunningham, a belle of Obicago. The wife to-night 1s insane, caused by herhusband’s death. His relatives live in Philadelphia and St. Paul. seer ee ead Flowers in the Sick Room. From the Philadelphia Times, The “superstition,” ashe called it, that plants are not healthful in sleeping or sick rooms was vigorously attacked by Dr. J.M.
