The church was —not so well filled §~=sas—snst’ night, but what was Incking in numbers was more than compensated for by the deep interest of every one present in the proceedings Many of the audience were iadies. Previous to the regular business meeting a Praise, prayer and ony meeting was held, over which the Rev. Horace L. Jacobs of Han- over presided. A number of the delegates re- luted the story of their conversion and the great help the Epworth League bad been to) them. The testimonials were interspersed with psalm singing by the gathering. | The regular exercises were opened by the singing of the hymn, “Blessed Be the Ties | That Bind Us.” ‘The meeting was presided | over by Wm. L. Woodcock. the president of | the conference. On the platform were mem- bers of the board of control and members of the divinity of the Methodist Church. Miss Louise C, Wilson of Warhington pre- ceded her reading of the 12ist Psalm with an exhortation to the young people to make an effort to be present at the morning exercises, which are held during the hour preceding the fixed program. | The scriptural reading was diversified by | slips having been placed in the Bibles 1m the ws, each one having a number and reading in rotation the selection from the Bible which the slips designated.

Some Convictions in the Police Court Yes- terday Afternoo: In Judge Kimball's court yesterday afternoon fourteen cases, involving a charge of offering for sale unwholesome, watered and adulterated milk intended for food and drink,were dispoved of, and in only three cascs were fines imposed, They were the cases of Amos | Horton, John Mason and G. 8. Lewis, They were each fined $15, the evidence showing that there was water in the milk. Mason bas his own cows and he declared that he had never watered his milk. The others purchase milk from pro- ducers in the country and they said they sold the milk as it was received. In the cases of G. W. Leeply and Howard Lindsley there was | no identification and they were acquitted. The other defendants were E. C. Munck, J. C. Wheatley, George W. Evans, 8 C. Bowers, C, L. Wood, J. F. Sparks, Henry M. Kingeley and B Murphy. The result of tho analysis of these cases showed that the milk had been skimmed, which the court held did not come within the pro- visions in this act, and the cases were therefore dismissed. There is another law covering the sale of skimmed milk where the milk is sold for the pure article. Eee Es PRESBYTERIAN UNION. A Strong Appeal for Uniting the Northern and Southern Churches. ‘The oldest of Presbyterian publications, the Presbyterian, in an editorial in ite last issue makes a clarion call for union between the southern and northern Presbyterian churches. “This union is coming,” says the Presbyterian, {just as goon as peace modifies and mollifies human hearts.” ‘The editorial points out as one of the signs of the times that on the list of names of the va- rious committees appointed by the authorities of the New ork Avenue Church to arrange for the meeting and comfort of the general as- sembly there are a number of prominent officials and members of the southern church, and says: “This shows the trend of the tay leaders of Presbyterianism in the south. It is just what we have always believed—that the men who did the fighting, as did many of these men, are the soonest reconciled to the Providence of God. Having appealed to the God of battles, they had the Christian submissiveness to let the subject drop on the lost battlefield, snd now show a love to their country and to ‘their church which has done, and will do, more to keep the country than ail other factors. This committee, with so many dis- tinguished southern Presbyterian laymen on it, is. proclamation of this coming union, which will rejoice the loyal heart of every true Pres- byterian, north and south. There is but one thing further that we would have desired to see—that 1s, that the only south- ern charch in Washington, whose silver jubilee has just been celebrated, in honor of God and our classmate, its pastor, Dr. Pitzer, mightalso have had somo part in the distingu’ roll of southern helpers in the entertainment of the | assembly, expecially because, a southern man | by birth and education, he has from the first | favored a union of these divisions of the same historic, glorious church. “These southern officials,away from the local influences at home, often with unreasonable prejudices arising from the past, are brought in contact with their brethren of ‘the northern churches at the capital, find no question of fundamental princi; separating m. Not) only this, but they show their desire for fra- ternity, if not for reunion, by serving on the i reception committee to welcome our assembly. | Among these brethren we note, with special pleasure, Hon. Hoke Smith, Sec-| retary of the Interior, and — assist- ant " superintendent of ' the Sabbath | school of the First Chreh, Atlanta, Ga.; Gen. | J. B. Gordon, an honored elder in cne of the Georgia churches; Judge H. E. Jackson of the | United States Supreme Court, also an elder; Senator Faulkner of West Virginia, whose family bas been for 160 years identified with | the sznod of Virginia. i “When such representative southern men are | thus identified with the northera churet, and serving on its committee, il dues seem as if re- | jumon were in the air.” | mittee on statistics wi function by electing Mr. A. Roszel Cathcart j of Baltimore, Md., a member of the general | bosrd of contr:l. It also appointed a commit- tee of seven, with the president and secretary, to perfect the organization by the formulati of a constitution and authorized the same com- mittee to fix the time and place for the next | convention and make all the necessary arrange- ments for the same. } *As secretary I have purchased a minute book ‘and recorded the proceedings of the convention at’ Harrisburg, also. minute book ai recorded the’ minutes of the executive committee meetings held November 2, 1892. at Harrisburg.and March 9, 1898, at Philadelphia.
