OUTPLAYED AND OUTLUCKED. ‘The home team played another good game of Dail on Saturday, Dut lost to Boston, by & score of 4 to 3, the winning run being made in the tenth toning. Daily and Murray were the Washington Dattery, and did well, but, the Hubbites secured eleven hits. The first run was made on a foolish throw of Murray’s past the pitcher, allowing Johnston to score from third. ‘The game was lost to Washington in tne eighth by the miserable luck that has seemed to follow the club, Wilmot tied thescore by driving im two men by a hit that missed going over the fence by less than a foot, He have scored on Shoch’s long fly to right ey OE Would have Deen a safe and winning bit.

There will be Chinese, Japanese, East Indians, Africans, Mexicans, Germans, ‘Swedes and Italians. It meets once in four years, and continues in session about one month. Every Pursuit and position in life is represented. It con- tains many skilled speakers and expert parliamen- tarlans. Its bishops are chairmen, trained in the school of varied experience. A body so large and deversified in its constituency is bound to repre- Seat nearly every view concerning religious, moral social entertained by the Protestant mind. The lay element largely represents success in professional and business lite. It Is notable that the pastoral element, though in the minority, larger ‘than heretofore. ‘The presiding elders stil dominate, ‘The members are to be Doarded at the expense of the chufch in the principal hotels, HOW THE CONFERENCE 18 COMPOSED. ‘The general conference 1s composed of one dele- Gate tor every forty-five members of each annual conference and fraction thereof, and two laymen for each annual conference, except such confer- ences as have but one ministerial delegate, in such case to one lay delegate. ‘The laymen eléct their delegates at ag electoral conference held on the third day of the session of the annual conference, Which 1s composed of one layman elected by each quarterly conference of each station or circult, ‘The ministerial and lay deiegates deliberate and Vote together as one body, but may voteseparately on the call of one-third of either class, gen- eral conference has no power to change the arth cies of religion, which are supposed Lo be of divine authority, therefore beyond the realm of human legislation, Neither can it abolish the episcopacy, hor revoke or change the general rules. ‘he general church can only do this by a finai ‘Vote Of three-fourths Of the membersof the annual conferences, upon a submission by a two-thirds ‘Vote of the general conference. ‘THE BISHOPS. ‘The following are the bishops and their place of Tesidence: Thos. Bowman, St. Louis; Randolph S. Foster, Boston; Stephen M. Merrill, Chicago; Ed- Ward G. Andrews, Washington; Henry W. War- Ten, Denver; Cyrus D. Foss, Minneapolis; Jno, F. Hurst, Buffalo; Wm. X. Ninde, ‘Topeka; Jno. M. Walden, Chattanooga; Willard 'F. Malialien, New Orleans; Chas. H. Fowler, San Francisco, and Wa. Taylor, Africa. Since the last general con~ ference Mathew Simpson, Isaac W. Riley and Wm. L. Harris have died, and ‘the vacancies are to b3 supplied and probably two others elected at this general conference. ‘Those most prominently Bamued for the episcopacy are John Hl. Vincent, Jas, M. Buckley, Jas. M. King, Dan'l Goodsell, C. © McCabe, Heiry Butz, J. N. Fitzgerald, A. J. Kynett, Earl Cranston, Sam F. Upton, J. G. Peck and J. W. Hamilton. It 1s pretty certain ‘that the five new bisuops are named in this 1st. ‘The general conference elects two missionary secretaries, one secretary of Sunday schools, one of church extension, one of freedmen’s ald,” four book agents, twelve editors, a book committee and boards for the various connectional interest, which have considerable official patronage at thelr dis- posal. An effort will be made to dispossess the general conference of all power to elect officers save bishops, and to relegate the whole Lo the sev- eral boards.’ Tue expense of renting the opera house, $5,000, is defrayed by the rental of the priv- ate boxes. “The postmaster and the Western Union Telegraph Co. will establish oMices in the Dullding for the accommodation of the conference, After seating the delegates and tbe occupation of the private boxes there will be two thousand free ‘seats for the public use. ‘THR CONFERENCES. ‘There are in the Methodist Episcopal Church 103 conferences. Of 101 conferences reported, the fol- lowing represents the position held tn the church and in society by the delegates elect: There are 16 general conference officers, 8 annual conference Oiflcers, 11 editors of religious papers, all of whom Dut one edit church papers; 25 presidents of and professors in coiteges, ail of them, with one or two exceptions, being Methodist institutions; 113 pre- siding elders, and 93 pastors. ‘The lay element 1s 1 governor, 3 ex-governors, 1 Con- Kressinan, 24 lawyers, 3 judges, 3 editors, 7 physi Sians, 16 bankers and brokers, 15 manufacturers, 25 merchants, 3 publishers,’ 10 real estate, 17 veachers, 6 fariners, 4 mechanles, 2 dentists, 3in- surance, undertaker, 5 women, and 14 unclassified, ‘The bishops, eleven in number, are not members of the general conference ut’ preside in ‘turn, Bishop Bowman is the senior and will call the con- ference to order.

AN EXCITING QUESTION. Another great aud exciting question which will confront the body and which will draw out ah its eloquence will be the eligibility of women to mem- Dersuip. Among those who will contend for the | adunission of the five feminine delegates elected are some of the silver clarionsof the denomination. ‘The celebrated Miss Frances Willard was elected by one of the strongest comferences—that which includes Chicago—the “Kock River,” and if allowed to speak on her own behalf will eléctrity the audi- ence. Dr. Jas. M. Buckley Will let loose his heavi- est artillery against the recognition of the sisters; andeverybody knows that is shot are steel-ueaded and his gun 15 rifled.

D. 1538. a) Of the total circulation given above, the booksot ‘the establishment show that an average of 17,023 coples were regularly delivered each day by car- Tiers at the homesof permanent subscribers within the city. Of the remainder a daily average of 6,421 copies were sold at the oMfoe, In the hoveis and railway stations, &c., and on She streets, by newsboys, making a grand total average withia the city of 24,046 copies daily, and leaving an average of 1,438 copies to be sent toregular sub- scribers beyond the District lines by mall, express, ‘and railway trains. In addition to the large and constantly increas ing fixed subscription Ust above referred to, it may ‘be said that of the 6,421 copies sold within its lim. 10a larger proportion are bought by permanent Fesidents of the city, living in lodgings, &c., not ‘householders, while the residue goes toto the hands Of transient visitors, from all parts of the country, ‘whoeach year come to the National Capital tn greater numbers and for longer periods, and who, furthermore, largely represent the well-to-do and purchasing portions of the communities 00 whica ‘they respectively belong. The last-named sa Claas of readers alone well worth reaching; but It 1s to the phenomenally large permanent circula. ‘Uon of the paper, and expecially to its unparalleled hold upon the household and tamfly circle, tat the attention of adverysers 1s particularly a rected. . A comparison of tne foregoing figures with those representing the entire population of use District, of Columbia will show that THX Sram circulates ‘within its limits something more than one copy for about every eighth inhabitant, of whatever race, creed, age, or station in life; and, realizing the extent to which Its columns are scanned ty ‘the several members of the families into whieh @ goes, it ts pot extravagance to claim that de paper ts read every day by fully two-therds of the population of the District who are able to read!
