National Rifles and Old Guard Visit the Fencibles’ Fair. The fair room of the National Fencibles last evening presented the most picturesque scene since the opening, for the National Rifles and the Old Guard, attired in their distinctive full-dress uniforms, were the in- vited guests. The Fencibles escorted the companies to the hall, where Capt. Domer extended a hearty welcome, to which re- sponses were made by Liéut. Manson for the Rifles and Capt. Edgar for the Old Guard. The two visiting companies were also formally thanked for their courteous invitation to participate in the parade Feb- ruary 22 and for the loan of the necessary rifles for that occasion. It was also stated that many of the present Fencibles were, twelve or fifteen years ago, members of the National Rifles’ Cadets, and their latent military fire was first fanned to flame in that organization. The cartoons and sketches in the fair paper last evening were devoted exclu- sively to members of the National Rifles, Messrs. Harrington, Fox, Taylor, Stokes and Magruder being caricatured in an in- teresting manner. The prize winners last evening were: Pair of trousers, Mr. Von Lindgren of the A. C.; fancy vest, Emil Shaffer of the C. PAgpcl ey uleturen Uatecerat W. A. Domer and Mrs. E. O. Varnell and 8. Fallon; jew- elry case, J. A. Butler; boxes of candy, Lee B. er and L. J. Barber. In addition to the bootks already men- tioned, a picture stand has been estab- Ushed, under the direction of Miss Stella Johnson and Mrs. Beamer, who are work- ing as hard as any one connected with the fair to add to the receipts. The Morton Cadets, under Capt. Shilling, together with Maj. Wilson and his staff ot the third battalion, I). C. N. G., will be the guests of the Fencibles this evening. The latter company has been ordered to as- semble at 8 o'clock for the purpose of es- corting the visitors from the National Guard armory to the fair. ee WATER AND GAS To Re Discussed at the Board of Trade Meeting a Week From Tonight. The next meeting of the board of trade will be one week from tonight, at the Build- ers’ Exchange, when the principal topic for consideration will be the water supply, as covered by the last annual report of the committee having charge of that subject. There will also be a discussion of the report of the special committee on gas and elec- tric light rates involving the question of the price which should be charged for light in this city. Session of the Baltimore M. E. Con- : ference Tomorrow, CHANGES IN SOME LOCAL CHURCHES The Bacon Resolutions as Explain- ed by One Who Favors Them. LAY REPRESENTATION ————— Not for a long time has such interest been shown in an annual meeting of the Baltimore conference as is the case with the session which will begin tomorrow in Baltimore. In addition to the widespread attention manifested in the Bacon resolu- tions, there will be fifteen vacant pastor- ates to be filled by the bishop, whereas in an ordinary year there are hardly ever more than a half dozen. The vacancies by districts are as follows: Waeshington dis- trict, tliree by the gme limit and one new church; Baltimore district, two by the time limit; East Baltimore, three by the time lim‘t; West Baltimore district, four by the time limit, and Frederick district, one by the time limit and one by contemplated transfer to another conference. The changes here to be made by the ex- P-ration cf the five-year limit are those at Hamline, Rev. Elbert S, Todd, D.D., pastor; McKendree, Rev. L. T. Widerm: » D.D., pestor, ard Gorsuch, Rev. James H. M_ i.emon, pastor. In Baltimore there are three of the largest churches, namely. Grace, Rey. Dr. Richard Harcourt, pastor; Broadway, Rev. Henry S. France, pastor, and Strawbridge. A desirable pulpit in th.s city is that of the new church at Dupont Circle, Si. Paul’s, which was organized less than a year ago by members of Metropoli- tan Church. As to Hamiine, everything was uncertain up until a week or so ago, but the officers think they have fixed on a preacher who will exacuy suit them, and new ail aepends on the bishop. The man in question is the Rev. Dr. deville, pastor of Union Avenue Church, Cl hicego. Not much is known in this city about Dr. Mandeville, but he is described as being a man of fine presence, in the p' of life, and one particularly a fav among the young peop! In his Chicago church, which is slighty larger in member- ship than Hamline, he has an Epworth League chapter numbering more than 700 members. Rev. Dr. Todd, the retiring pas- tor of Hamline, will be located, it is be- lieved, as pastor of Strawbridge Church, Balumore, as a request has heen made that he be sent there. McKendree and Gorsuch. McKendree is after Rev. H. R. Naylor, D.D., formerly presiding elder of this dis- trict, and now pastor of a large church in Baltimore. The quarterly conference of McKendree has decided to ask for him, and as Dr. Naylor desires to come to Wash- ington, Kendree the committee from Mc- been instructed to use its ut- vors to obtain him, it looks as . Naylor will soon be heard again in a Washington pulpit. Dr. Widerman, the re- uring minister, has not informed anybody as to where he expects to be sent, but it i understood that a church within the con- ference, though which it is is not known, has asked for his services. The remaining church made t pastor by expiration of the five is Gorsuch, located In Southwest W ton, and having Rev. J. H. M. Le the preacher. In making appointments it is usually the custom for the smaller churches to leave the question of a pastor for them entirely in the hands of the bishop and the presiding elder, and this is the case of Gorsuc though it has been said the congregation has its eyes on a suitable man. Dr. Lemon, the retiring pastor, states that he does not know where he expects to go, but rumor has it that he may retire from the ministry in a year or So, particularly if he is assigned to work elsewhere, since his interests are all con- nec! oe with Washington. St. Paul's, at Dupont Circle, is allowed her choice, this city will be the gainer by the addition of one of the most promising young men in the Methodist ministry. The committee to go to conference has instruc- tions to ask for the appointment as pastor of Kev. Stowell L. Bryant, minisier in charge of the church at Lutherville, Balti- more county, Md. Mr. Bryant is a native of Ohio, and received his academic educa- tion at Delaware College, and his theolog- ical training at Boston University. His first charge was as assistant to Dr. Towns- end, at Mt. Vernon Church, and his second at Lutherville, where he has been only a year, Some time ago it was thought very likely that the split in the congregation of Trinity Church would result in Rev. Dr. Martin F. b. Rice being ousted, but the chances are now said to be all in favor of his re- tention. Two committees representing the two factions will g2 to Baltimore and pre- sent each their side of the case to the bishop. The one which will do all in their power for Mr. Rice is composed of the following named: T. B. Stahl, Rey. Ricnard Emmons, F. A. Belt, ‘Joseph aoe Ww. J. Palmer, W. F. Dove, J. T. D. Pyles and M. Otterback. In any case efforts are being made looking to the prevention of any trouble at the conference, and both parties are acting toward each other in a spirit of friendliness. and Jose its Lay Electoral Conference. In the general conference the laymen have @ representation from each conference, and so this year what ts called the lay electoral conference will meet in quadrennial session and select delegates to the body. The delegates from the local churches are as follews: Anacostia, J. H. Dony; Douglas Memorial, C. A. Pike; Dumbarton, John T. Mitchell; Fifteenth Street, Dr. N. B. Shade; Fletcher, M. Birckhead; Found Simpson; Gorsuch, W. R. Charles Roller; Hamline, Smith; Metro- politan, A. B. Duvall; St. Paul's, Fred. E. Tasket North Capitol Rey. John E. Evans; Ryland, Geo. E. Barber; Trinity, R. W. Dunn; Tenleytown, John Simpson; Unien, Alex. ney Waugh, S. H. Walker; Wesley, J. Barker, and Twelfth Street, Cc. A, Wilitarns, It is very likely that one of these gentlemen will be selected to represent Washington, and the choice is thought to lie between A. B. Duvall, G. W. F. Swartzell and Alexander Ashley. The presiding officer of the conference will be Bishop Henry W. Warren, whose residence is in Denver, Col. The Bacon Resolutions, The consideration of the Bacon resolu- tions, as stated above, will perhaps furnish the theme of the mest important discussion which has ever taken place in the Baiti- more conference. As is well known, these resolutions were offered at the annual con- ference by Rev. Geo. C. Bacon of Hagers- town, Md., and were referred to a comm!t- tee, to be reported at the coming session. In an address delivered a few weeks ago before the Methodist Preachers’ Association of th’s elty Rev. Dr. Luther T. Townsend, pastor of the Mt. Vernon Place Church, Baltimore, who is recognized as one of the leaders of the party in favor of the adop- tion of the resolutions, made an address, In the course of his remarks he spoke of the Bacon resolutions as follows: “We all recognize the fact that our chureh polity is essentially a monarchy, at least it is such, 2s compared with any of the various forms of congrcgationalism, and yet I confess under certain conditions and in the hands of consecrated men, cur church gcvernment may be not enly the mcst effective, but also the most peneficial of any existing church polity, just as a limited or even an absolute’ monarchy, under certain conditions, is a better form of government fcr some pesple than ei:her a representative republic or a pure democ- racy. “Now, as you notice, each of these reso- lutions before us proposes a change in the direction of less monarchy and more democracy. “The first resclution favors the admis- sion of laymcn into the annual conferen>e. This manifestiy is a move in the direction of more demorracy by transferring a 2er- tain amount of power from the clergy to the laity. * “The second resolution favors the elec- tion of presiding elders by the annual con- ference; this likewise is a move in th direction of more democracy, by lim'th the power of the bishops and transfe: it to the membership of the confe: “The third resoluticn likewise places CHURCH QUESTIONS! pont Stop Tobacco Suddenly.

Convention of Laymen. “This brings us to the third reason why we cannot disregard these resolutions and why, perhaps, we ought to act faverably upon them, namely: Because petitions are offered that are based, so far as we can see, upon wise and :ufficient reasons. “The resolutions presented at our jas annual conference ar ticn. Those resolutions were strongly ap- proved by many of the prominent members of the conference, and though not finally acted upon for want of time, were referred to a special committee of seven to report to the next session of our Baltimore con- ference. “But what I wish especially in this con- nection to call attention to is the conven- tion of laymen that convened in Ralti- mere June 21, which was composed of representatives from a large number of quarterly conferences or official boards in conference. “Those delegates, representing cighty- one pastoral charges, had been duly chosen by their respective official boards at the suggestion of the District stewards, who originally had been called together for consultation and to bring the matter before the laymen of the church. “Great harmony and unanimity prevailed, and after due consideration resolutions were adopted almost unanimously by the three hundred delegates present favoring Isy representation in the annual confer- ence.
