Rev. William G. Eg- gleston, one of the most eloquent preachers of the conference, then led in prayer, com- mending the members to divine providence during the year to come, and asking that they may be patient and obedient to whatever charge might be appointed to them.

The conference held afternoon and even- ing sessions yesterday, with Dr. Hough presiding. The report of the Sunday school board was read, showing 570 schools and 5,604 teachers and officers; pupils, 39,682; amount of money raised, $25,885. The next convention will be held at Wesley Grove. There are seventy-four Epworth Leagues in the conference, with a membership of 3,128. The financial report of the board was also read, showing a favorable condi- tion of accounts. The report of the conference committee on temperance was then read. It protested against every encouragement of the traflic, and suggested resolutions which substan- tially called attention to the discipline of the church as to dealers in alcohol. The committee recommended non-concurrence in the suggestion for a joint committee to ecrsider the voting question and other questions on the temperance issues. The report was adopted. Resolutions indorsing efforts to get mcney for Wesleyan Female Institute passed. A resolution passed authorizing Rev- P. H. Whisner, conference secretary, to travel through the district bounds. The report of the joint boards of finance was read by Mr. Mumsen of Baltimore. It showed a small deficiency. Resolutions of thanks and appreciation of the courtesies of the people of Washington to the confer- ence, and to the city post office officials for special facilities, were passed. The con- ference also thanked Bishop Granbery for his services. Reports on church extension and the board of eflucation, No. 3, were read. Bishop Lane addressed the confer- erce on those institutions and took up a collection in their interest. The conference requested Mr. Armstrong, the secretary, to complete a volume on the bistory of the Baltimore conference. THE MANASSAS SCHOOL. Generous Start in the Work of Restor- ing Its Building. The proposal to make the Manassas In- dustrial School, in which Mr. Douglass took a deep interest, a memorial to the colored leader is steadily expanding and resulting in bringing definite and substantial aid to that institution. Since the burning of the main building of the school the friends of the cause of education among the colored people have been sending contributions to Henry E.

Modern Inventions ‘Incladed — For Smallpox and Cholera Pa- t tients Opiy. “| Unless the District of Columbia should in the very near future be afflicted with a se- rious cholera or smallpox epidemic, the health authorities will soon be able to take care of a much larger number of gases than has heretofore been properly possible, For some time past Architect A. O. von Her- bulis has been engaged upon plans for the new smaflpox hospital, for the erection of which Congress at its laSt session appro- priated the sum of $18,000. The plans have been submitted to the Commissioners and to Health Officer Woodward, and have been finally approved. There will be no delay in setting about the work of construction. The Commissioners have already made requisi- tion upon the Treasury Department for the $18,000, and expect to get the money within a day or two. Next week they will adver- tise for bids, and as soon as the contract has been awarded work will be pushed with all possible rapidity. The plans show that the new hospital will be about 500 feet to the southeast of the present insufficient pest house, which, by the way, will prob- ably, when the new hospital is completed, be used as a quarantine station. The hos- pital building proper will have*a frontage of 116 feet and a depth of 50 feet, and it will have two stories, and the walls will throughout be of solid brick, so plastered that when it becomes necessary to cleanse the rooms and hailways water may be thrown on them from a hose without doing them any damage. The first floor of the hospital is to be set apart for colored pa- tients; white patients will be accommodated on the second floor. On each of the floors will be two principal wards, one for female patients and one for male; in each of the wards six beds. Other Provisions. Then there are two sex wards on each floor for extraordinary cases, probably for pa- tients who may become violent, and whose presence in the principal wards would be injurious to other patients. In addition to the apartments mentioned there will be two private wards on each floor, one ward on each floor for suspected eases and one ward on each floor for con- valescent cases. Adjoining the principal wards will be the duty rooms of the nurses, with windows opening into the wards, so that at all times nurses will have neces- sary supervision of the patients. The pa- tients’ receiving room {s, of course, on the first floor, and in that room those Who are admitted to the hospital will be required to change their clothimg and perhaps to bathe. The patients’ discharging room is subdivided into three apartments. In the first of these the patient leaves his hos- pital clothing; in the second apartment a bath is taken; in the third apartment the patient puts on new clothing brought di- rectly from outside of the hospital, and de- parts by the rear gate—under no circum- stances being permitted to go back through the hospital. Plumbing and Heating. Special attention has heen paid to the plumbing and heating arrangements, the former being so planned as to provide for the complete disinfection of all matter be- fore it is discharged intp the main sewer. As to heating and ventilating the buildings the plans contemplate an’ indirect system; warm air is to be forced by a fan at the rate of 300 cubic feet per second for each patient,. while the foul, air finds its way into a chamber in which several Bunsen burners in full operationgwill destroy all the bacteria in that air before it reaches the chimney and gets out. This method obviates all danger of the dissemination of disease germs from the hospital. As things are now arranged the hospital staff will be compelled to reside in the hos- pital, which, for a while, will cause both doctors and nurses some inconvenience, but it is the intention of the Commission- ers to ask Congress to appropriate a sum sufficient to provide for the-erection of an administration building in which there will be suitable quarters for the staff. The disinfecting plant will, it is said, be especially good, and, like the laundry, the stables, the ambulance’ shed, quarters for the drivers and assistants, and the morgue and crematory, will be entirely separate from the main hospital building. At pres- ent, there is no legal authority for the operation of the crematory, but it is under- stood that Dr. Woodward will argue in be- half of an appropriation for that purpose, he believing that cremation is the only proper disposition that can be made of the todies of persons who die from the more dangerous infectious diseases. It is not proposed to make of the hospital a general contagious hospital, but the plans provide for the treatment, if it shall be necessary, of cholera, as well as smallpox. Around the hospital and thé minor build- ings which, so far as possible, will be in the corners of the inclosure, is to be a ma- sonry wall eight feet six inches high and 150 feet outside that wall will be a sur- rounding fence. EDITOR DAVID M. STONE. For Many Years the Hend of the Journal of Commerce. David M. Stone, for many years editor of the Journal of Commerce, who had-been seriously ill for the last five weeks with a complication of heart and stomach troubles, died at his home, No. 482 Frariklin avenue, Brcoklyn, at five minutes past 9 o'clock last nigkt. Mr. Stone was born at Oxford, Conn., De- |. cemter 23, 1817. He taught school when he Was seventeen years old. In 1842 he en- gaged in business in Philadelphia, and re- mained there until 1849. Then he went to New York city to take charge of the Dry Gcods Reporter, for which he received a selary of $1,000 a year. He soon went to the Journal of Commerce as commercial editor, and won a reputation for reliability. On the retirement of William C. Prime, Mr. Stcne became editor-in-chief. Mr. Stone re- tired from the editorship of the Journal of Ccmmerce in April, 1893, having been in the harness since 1849, and throughout all that time he had never used a pair of magnify- ing glasses; he could read the smallest dia- mond type and thread the finest cambric needle without any artificial aid. The Jour- ral of Commerce was consolidated with the Commercial Bulletin. He found opportunity for outside work, too, keeping up Sunday afternoon lectures, year after year, to the Sunday school chil- dren of the Central Congregation Church, in Brooklyn, of which he delivered about one hundred on the “Life of Christ,” more than half as many on the “Apocalypse of St. John,” and some hundreds besides.” He was a man of fine literary tastes, and in his younger days wrote occasionally for the magazines and did other literary work rot connected with his own paper. He was a firm believer in plenty of out- dcor exercise, and up to within recent years would walk ten miles a day. His house in Franklin avenue, Brooklyn, is surrounded by extensive grounds, and there Mr. Stone gratified his floricultural taste to an extent that gave his residence quite a local renown, for all through the year there was a beautiful display, either of flowers or foliage plants, Mr. Stone hav- ing several extensive conservatories. He was a passionate lover of flowers, and his extensive gardens and conser- vatories were his pride. It was his fre- quent habit to stand at the gate of the grounds, and whatever passer-by ex- pressed pleasure was sure of a hearty in- vitation to enter and observe the floral beauties. It was a boast of Mr. Stone’s that during Tris many years’ connection with the Journal of Commerce he never took a single day’s vacation, and that during the time he held the position of editor-in-chief every line cf editorial matter published in the paper was from his pen. He was a member of Dr. Behrend’s Con- giegational Church, and his funeral will take place from there. ———_+e-_. Spanish Stop a British Ship.

The pastor and trustees of the Grace Baptist Church, Broad and Berks streets, Philadelphia, are very indignant over an action of the board of revision of taxes, placing the temple on the list of assessed. properties at $170,000. The ground taken by the board is said to be that the temple is used for entertainments and concerts and consequently is not solely used for re- ligious purposes. The question involved is one which affects nearly every church in the city and the outcome of the mat- ter is being watched with a great deal of interest. ————_+e+______ Joseph Kress, who shot and killed his stepfather, Christian Priesendorfer, for abusing his mother at their home, 504 Dover street, March 19, has been dismiss- ed by the New York grand jury.
