THR LAY CONFERENCE. ‘The Iay electoral convention met at 10 o'clock in the lecture room of Madison Avenue Church. The following represented the Washington dis- trict: 8. F. Pyles, RB. Detrich, G. W. Reed, Uriah H. Griffith, Stephen Jones, G. W. Walker, W. E. Daugherty, Rev. & M. Naylor. John Simpson, J. E. Powell, George Burdette, B. F. Fuller, John T. Mitchell, W. Meck. Clayton, M.

Mr. Summerfield Baldwin was chosen tem- porary chairman. In bis address he unveiled the fact that this lay convention was not going simply to elect delegates to the general cou- ference, but was to bea deliderative body, which might remain in session for some time. He said, in part: “I never did, and do not now believe that this layman's conference, which meets only once in four years, should, after electing two delegates ‘to the general conference, forever take its fight. Our ministers meet annually, while we meet only once in four years. My opinion is that, having met, we should take ‘our time | and consider matters before adjourning. There are many vital and essential interest# which we should consider—queations vital to our hot life and questions essential to the church. Therefore, let us take our time. We cannot well afford to make blunders and to go away to our homes with our work half accomplished.” ‘Then the laymen took a recess until 2 p.m. Upon reassembling Samuel H. Walker.chair- mau of the committee on temperance. educa- tion and Sabbath observance, submitted a re- port. They indorsed the forward movement tor higher education of young men aud girls at Dickinson College and the Woman's College of Baltimore and at the projected university at Washington. A majority and minority report was submitted on temperance, and they led to a lively and prolonged discussion. ‘The majority temperance report was adopted. The = reiterates and indorsed the language of the Methodist discipline on temperance. It enumerated evils of the liquor traffic, saying that it could never be legalized without sin. A resolution was passed that a mite be set apart at the annual conference in behalf of tem- perance. Among the resolutions sent to committee were the following: To abolish the office of P g elder. or to greatly restrict its power: asking the general conference to change the power of the Sunday school board: two sets of Fesolutions on the suppression of the liquor trafic; resolutions asking the general confer- ence tosend back to the annual conferences the question of the admission of women dele- gates to the general conference; deprecuting 4n increase of church officets as being too costl Sgainst opening the world’s fair on Sundu; against the sale of liquor on the Columbian ex- position grounds, and opposing any change in the existing Sanday laws of Maryland. At 4:30 p.m., on invitation of Bishop Foster and the ministerial conference, Kevs. L. F. Morgan and ©. W. Baldwin escorting them, the Jay conference proceeded into the chureh, where Bishop Foster addressed them in au ad- visory way as to the relations between pastor and layman. President Summerfield Baldwin responded tothe address of Bishop Foster, saying that they fully appreciated his advic Following this, the lay conference, at 5:30 p-m., adjourned antil 7:30 p.m. At the night session of the lnymen’s confer- ence the resolutions were debated and disposed of. The resolution asking that charch officers shall not be increased in number wus adopted. ‘The resolution asking the gencral conference to reeogdize the Epworth League and incor- porate it a ecclesiastical institution was also adovted. The revolution in favor of memorializing the general conference to give equal representa- tion of ministers and laymen in the generul conference. either by a reduction of the former or au increase of the latter, and that it pro- vide for two distinct houses, lay and miuis- terial, in that body was adopted. ‘Two ballots were taken fur delegates to the eral conference.

Powell, superintendent of public schools, in speaking of the District appropria- tion bill, said t0 2 Stan thie afternoon: “Conceding the tact that was urged at the be- ginning of the discussion of the Distriet school appropriation that economy must be observed, Iam well pleased at the eutcome. The appro- priation for running the schools ac- cording to its present ofganizt- tion is quite satisfactory. The fitty addi- tional teachers asked for are granted. The contingent fund has been increased £3,000, a very important item. The industrial work of the schools has not been crippled in any way. Tam sorry thata few salaries havé been ott, because they are salaries of persone whe are directors of departments,and hence are trained lenders. Without an efficient corps of trained leaders no superintendent can make a system of schools what it ought -to be. It hay been the policy of the presen’ management of the schools to train stich heads of departments, Beginning with low salaries. It is very antortunete that such trained teachers, after years cf training at learners’ salaries, must be loat te the schools because of quate appropriations, resuit- ing sometimes in saving ouly a Jew handred dollars. ‘This year the actual amount thus saved is #620. ‘The lows to a\ school of an expert leader is uot easily estimated m dol- lars and cents.

A Miracle of Modern Times Performed With the Ald of » Phonograph. It is the thin edge of the wedge. If you c:\n get one little sound, onelittle note of the proper pitch into the deaf ear it is only a question of time, and not # very long time, before you can open the ear to every sound. If you can get a vibratory force of the required intensity to play into the ear the sound-conducting mechanism may be set in motion again und the deaf be made to hear. At léast that is the way Taz San reporter understood the ense to be when stripped of all technicalities. The means for introducing a steady stream of sound of the re+ qnired kind into the ear has been found in the Edison phonograph, and progressive specialists have tuken up the invention and are rapidly developing its use in a field of which prob- ably the great inventor never dreamed. Phonograph cylinders can be prepared sv as to reproduce vibrations of any intensity and in any order of succession required, and more than that, keep on reproduciug them and re- peating them to un extent tliat tight be ex- ceedingly tiresome to the perfect ear, but i as relreshing as the sweetest music to the ear that is Just being awakened to new life. It was Dr. George A. Leech, whose office t# in the Gunton building, corner of Pen lvania ayve- hue and 9th street, that explained ‘the matter tow Sram reporter. Dr. Locch has applicd the phonograph to bis practice ns an ear specialist | with resuits so surprising that he {8 an en- thusiaxt on the subject. “ihe principle of treatment by which the hearing is ressored,” said Dr, Leech to ‘Tux Stan reporter, “is the massage or mechanical stimulation and consequent awakening to lite of the sound-conducting apparatus of the eur by means of vibratory furce conveyed from the cylinder of a phonograph to the paris involved. Yue phonograph produces this woude: sult by impressing upon the the deafuess 4 series of continuous suc vibrations or sounds at reguiar mtervais, ‘The character, frequency and intensity of the vi- bratious are regulated and coutrolled by the surgeon, ording to the exigencies of the case under treatment. For instance, in @ cer- tain cue the sounds may consist of intensified shocks, so to spenk, regulated so as to wronse into action and vitality the ossicles or chata of bones of the middie ear that have become anchyloseu or immovable, be the cause what it in ower cases the vibrations may ve ated with greater frequency and les in- tensity, aud tits restore the tinction of the involved auditory nerve and internal ear.” Dt. Leech, though the first in thns city to apply the phonograph to the cure of deaincss, lays no claim to the credit of having discovered ity adaptability to this use. Dr, Garey, pro- fessor in the eye and ear department of the Southern Hospital, Baltimore, is, he says, ev titled to the honor. “When'I first Leatd of this use of the phonograph,” Dr. Leeeh went on, ““L was naturally skepticul, but 1 concluded tu make w thorough investigation before pa: ing judgment. Jutiended Dr. Garey'a cliut in Baltimore, questioned the patients who had been cured by him, as Weilts those then unile ing treatment, aud wasastonisied at the rosuits.

Gorman toa check for $45, was arraigned before United States Commissioner Bell yesterday in Philadelphia. The check was passed on Sake Brothers. At the hearing Detective Joseph Carter testi- fied that be had been looking for Sembly since December 24 last and that the prisoner had ad- mitted passing the check on Saks Brothers after he purchased « pair of shoes for 88, re- ceiving $37 in change. He also admitted that he had since learned that the signature of Sen- stor Gorman on the check was a forgery, but had no knowledge of it when he had it cashed. In his own defense the prisoner “kaid that he was willing to return to Washington. as he was i yery to vindicate himself of the charge. le said that had indorsed the name of “John Thomas” on the back of the check at the request of a friend, believing it to be all right. ‘The check was handed to by John T. Cheshire, and he received all the money. Commissioner Bell was abont to discharge the prisoner on the ground that Senator Gor- man's siguature to the check had not been proven a forgery, but was prevented from do- ing so by Detective Carter, who said he could produce the Senator and several other wit- nesses who would testify that Sembly bad con- spired to defraud the Saks Brothers. At the request of District Attorney Read. Commissioner Bell held Sembly for « further hearing next Wednesday. As the defendant was anxious to return to Washington at once and answer the charge against him, the com- missioner gave. him permission to wa: jar- ther hearing, provided he could furnish €500 bail asa guarantee that he would appear when wanted, which was done. a THE ELKS’ CARNIVAL.
