A Little Friction Over Matters of Rou- tine Todny—Appointments An- mounced Tomorrow. The Baltimore conference resumed work this morning, and the routine of the day Was expedited as much 4s possible, in or- der to close up the business remaining so as to adjourn tomorrow. Devotional exer- cises were led by Rev. G. T. Tyler. The board of education presented a report reccmmending the election of an educa- tional secretary, to serve without salary, to take charge of preparing catalogues for all the institutions under the conference, Keep a roster of teachers desiring situa- tions and put them in correspondence with the board; als> that a treasurer of educa- tional funds be elected, to whom all money for educational purposes be paid. The re- port recommended that the district boards should be composed of the presiding elders, three preachers appointed by him and four laymen elected for a term of two years, and the presiding elder have power to fill vacancies. The board is to meet annually in April, and to have charge of supplying teachers to various institutions. An Educational Plan. No school is to be recommended for pat- rerege that has not been approved by the district board. Local boards are to be ciested, consisting of three members, to be elected by the quarterly conference, upon rcminatton of the preacher in charge. This board is to co-operate with church and Sunday school in arranging Children’s day observances. Dr. Smith, president of the Randolph- Macon College, reviewed the report, and said there were 200 Methodist schools and colleges in the south, with an aggregate endowment of $7,000,000, and 17,0W) stu- dents. He was opposed to the articulation of all these instituticns into a system. He thought a few small colleges with 200 stu- gents each would do better work in the same field than one of 1,000 students, The conference adopted the report by a small majority. To Meet at Roanoke. The next business was to choose a place for next year’s meeting, and Roanoke and Vinton gave invitations. The conference selected Roanoke. The name of J. J. Wine of the Culpeper ccnference came up for admission as a member of the Baltimore conference, and a pretty skirmish followed, in which Rev. Jefferson W. Duffey of Baltimore calie Brother Wine an “erratic” and a “cranl and Rev. W. K. Marshall of Lewisburg said a member of the committee had “hurt’”’ his conscience “when he voted to admit Mr. Wine.” Another member of the com- mittee said Mr. Wine didn’t seem to have any knowledge of the Bible. Rev. Mr. Coe said he thought Mr. Wine answered all questions well. Presiding Elder Smith- son made an earnest appeal. Rev. Dolby, in whose church Mr. Wine had worked, said hundreds had been converted by Mr. Wine, and he was an effective preacher and a man of the deepest piety. There Was Friction. A good deal of friction was shown and some of the plainest kind of unparliamen- tary talk was indulged in. For the first time in the entire session a vote py divis- jon was taken and Brother Wine was ad- mitted on trial by a vote of 80 to 60. Dr. John J. Tigert addressed the confer- ence on the matter of the support of the Metaodist Review, the organ of the M. E. Church South, published at Nashville,Tenn. Dr. Kirkland, secretary of the Sunday school board of the M. E. Church South, made a lively speech, presenting the claims of the children upon the church. He said it might now be said there were millions of children in the Sunday schools of the church. Making an earnest criti- cism of the character of many Sunday school teachers, who, he said, were hardly beyond the “giggling age,” he urged upon the conference the importance of taking the Sunday school publications of the church and give special attention to this field of labor. , The Conference Organ. Dr. Lafferty, publisher and owner of the Baltimore Christian Advocate and the Richmond Christian Advocate, was pre- gented and made a speech emphasizing the usefulness of a church paper. Rey. S. G. Ferguson presented the report of the committee on publishing interests. it showed the assets for this purpose were increased during the year by $47,000. The report specially commended the Advocate, the Epworth Era, the Methodist Review, the Review of Missions, and indorsed Rev. J. 8. Hutchinson as editor of the Advo- cate, to succeed the late Dr. Rodgers. Mr. Ferguson called the attention of the con- ference to the subject of consolidating the Baltimore Christian Advocate and the Richmond Christian Advocate. In the dis- cussion that followed it appeared that there was a difference of opinion in the commit- tee on the subject of choosing an editor to give all his time to the Baltimore Advo- cate. With the price at a dollar a year, Dr. Lafferty had told the committee he could not pay the editor. Rev. Mr. Hutch- inson disclaimea any desire on his part to act as editor of the Advocate, and said he was asked to serve and was only willing to do so to meet an emergency and with the consent of all concerned. The confer- ence adopted the report, which makes Mr, Hutchinson editor, under the private ar- rangement between him and Dr. Lafferty, continuing the present relations. Collections for Ministers. Under the exhortation of Rev. James II. Boyd a collection was taken to make up a deficit of $800 in the conference funds for superannuated clergymen, their wives and children. Bishop Granbery called up the matter of taking a collection for educational in- terests under charge of Bishop Lane, and indorsed the Lane Institute and other schools for which aid was sought and for which money will be given by this con- ference. The conference assembled at 3 o’clock this afternoon, with Dr. Hough in the chair. There will be services tonight, as eh Rev. G. G. Smith of Georgia preach- ing. Great interest centers in the list of ap- pointments to be announced by the bishop tomorrow. This assigns the ministers of the 180 churches in the conference to ne’ charges, which they will hold for the en- suing two years. The Mecting Last Night. The missionary meeting last night was attended by a large audience, who learned some important and interesting things about the work cf the church in missicns. Rey. Thomas E, Carson cf Alexandria pre- sided. After prayer by Rev. Dr. M. B. Chapman of Baltimore, the report of the conference board of missions was read by Secretary Shipley of the board. The report showed that there were last year 1. conversion: additions, 166 Sun¢ schouls, 1,356 icers and teachers, att pupils, S46 baptisms, $16,922 lected ‘for and $3,355 in discip- ministerial support, linary collections; for foreign missions, $10,- for domestic, $5,606.53. Rev. M. Waters, a returned missionary from Japan, spoke of the religions, man- ners and customs of that people. He ex- plained the meaning of Shintoism, Bud- dhism and Confucianism, and then follow- up the history of modern missionary rk from the opening up of the kingdom by Commodore Perry and the subsequent treaty of Since 1886, when the Metho- Gist Church sent out its first missionary, until last year, the membership of the church there was 582. The conference numbered twelve members and nine on pro- bation. The conversions were from the middle classes. Dr. Chapman followed with a powerful appeal in aid of foreign missionary work. God, he said, made it a duty on the church to preach the Gcspel to the heathen. The Guspel had now gene into nearly all lands. In the nineteerth century the number of Christians had been double: being now more then 400,000,000. He regarded it as a providence of God that the Chineze empire had been opened to the spread of the Gospel. After the address a collection was taken up in aid of missions. > The granite shaft of the North Carolina monument to confederate dead was hoist- ed into place at Raleigh, N.

It is Filled With Impuritics in Every, Part of the Land. New York city on a recent day consumed 77,000,« 000 gallons of water. At least one million gallons of impurities were ccntained in this quantity. It is, therefcre, not surprising that the question of purity of drinking water has invaded the business office. Rich men who are vexed by slight physical ailments, or who are the victims of nervous troubles, are not slow to discover that there is danger in the water cooler. Many of them have thelr vater boiled and chilled by refrigeration be- fore they will drink it. Others have in thelr pri- vate offices jars of mineral waters. Many bank and railroad presidents are particular about having the water they drink free fram polsonous germs. People who would avoid the dangers which arise from water impurities at all times should make a Practice of taking a little pure whisky each day. Even should germs have invaded the system this will effectually destroy them. It will keep the blood free from taint, and in healthy motion. Great care should be taken, however, to have only pure whisky, and it should be remembered that there is but one acknowledged pure medicinal whisky, and that is Duffy's Pure Malt. It is not like other whiskies. It is palatable, strengthening, rourishing and does just what is claimed for it.

Pandemonium reigned supreme at the Hillsdale A. M.-E. Church last night when an attempt was made to raise funds to pay Lawyers E. M. Hewlett and Thomas L. Jones for the proepective prosecution by them of Policeman Green for the killing of Reuben Foster. The ehurch was packed to the doors, the aisles being also filled. Rev. F. M. Ovelton, pastor of the church, called the meeting to order, and after prayer by Rev. Mr. Catiett, pastor of Macedonian Baptist Church, the former made an ad- dress, explaining what was sought to be accomplished at the meeting. When he an- nounced that contributions of one dollar each were in order, among the first to step to the table where the money was be- ing received by Mr. Henry Sayles, one of the committee in charge, was Lawyer John A. Moss, who was one of Officer Green's counsel at the coroner's inquest. As Moss laid down his “dollar he accompanied the act with the remark that his money was intended for the benefit of Foster's poor old mother. Instantly there were a dozen men and women on their feet, shouting and claiming recognition from the chair- man. Some wanted the money returned to Moss; cthers wanted Moss put out, and Mr, Ovelton asked all to keep quiet. Moss insisted on making a speech, and the chair, after listening to him for some time, re- quested him to take his seat. He refused to do so and continued his speech. Mr. Ovelton threatened Mr. Moss with ar- rest, and again Moss persisted in talking, saying that he had a right to talk there and that he would be heard, and that he dared the police officers to arrest him. In the midst of the din W. G. Taliaferro undertook to make a speech. Taliaferro insisted that the meeting had not been properly organized, as no president or sec- retary had been elected, and that the en- tire proceedings were in violation of par- liamentary law and practice. Moss ap- pealed to Taliaferro to keep quiet, and af- ter trying in vain for fully half an hour to calm the tumult which had broken out with increased vehemence during Talia- ferro’s occupancy of the floor, Mr. Ovelton moved that Mr. Henry Underdue be elected president. All this time Moss was trying to make himself heard above the din, but no atten- tion was paid to him by those who had the meeting in charge, and with Moss and Taliaferro bsth trying to make themselves heard at the same time, the motion was declared carried and Mr. Underdue took the chair. Finally, seeing that nothing practical in the way of getting money could be accom- plished at that time, Mr. Catlett made a motion, which was adopted, that the meet- ing adjourn, and that a warrant should be sworn out for the arrest of Moss on the charge of disorderly conduct. Messrs. Henry Underdue, Allen Jackson and Henry Sayles, the committee who had the meeting in charge, were seen by a Star representative after the adjournment, and they expressed the opinion that at the next meeting, which is to be called at an early day, no women or boys shall be ad- mitted, it being quite evident that much of the confusion at the meeting of last night was caused by those two classes of per- sons. as QUIET ELECTION IN MICHIG! The Republic: ‘andidates Were Easily Elected. Yesterday was the quietest election day in Michigan for years. In Detroit not enough interest was manifested to bring out more than half the registered vote. Reports from the state show that even less interest was manifested, and that the vote polled will not average more than one-third of that registered. Judge J. B. Moore of Lapeer is elected justice of the supreme court by a large ma- jcrity, as are also the two republican can- didates for regents of the university—Roger W. Butterfield and Charles H. Hackley. Latest returns from all points in the third district give Milnes, republican candidate for Congress, to succeed Mr. Burrows, about 1,500 majority. Tood, fusion candi- date, expects that this will be reduced be- low 1,000 by official count. See SS The Russian Charge 4’Afiaires. The Russian foreign office has designated Pierre Botkine as charge d'affaires at Washington during the absence of Prince Cantacuzene, the minister, en leave. The latter has gone to Nice for Easter. He will then go to St. Petersburg to be pre- sented to the czar for the first time since nis accession. No significance is attached to the prince’s departure, as he expects to return in the fall. Mr. Botkine will proba- bly be assigned to a European post during the summer, and two new secretaries will be sent here, one of whom will serve as charge. —_—___-e Revenue Cadeta, The following named officers have been appointed as a-board to conduct the exam- ination of applicants for appointment as cadets in the reyenue cutter service: First Lieut.
