Good ary train. © Bacon Resolutions Passed by the Lay The Cola Spell Conference at Baltimore. The lay conference of the Baltimore con- ference completed its business late last evening, having passed the Bacon resolu- tions by large majorities, and having elect- ed two delegates to the general conference. The Gelegates elected were: Alexander Ashley of Union Church, Washington, and Wm. A. Leech of Madison Square Church, Baltimore. The alternates are: George W. F. Swartzell of Hamline Church, Washing- ton, and Louis M. Bacon of Hereford cir- cuit, East Baltimore district. Debate on the Bacon resolutions was spirited, and was listened to by a large number of the ministers, who thronged the room during the afternoon session of the lay conference, as they had no meeting of their body. A sort of reciprccity exists betweea the champiens of the resolutions in ihe two bodies. After the first resolution was pass- ed yesterday providing for lay -epresenia- tién in the annual conference one -of the laymen proposed to let the other two reso- lutions go by the board. This brought forth oppesition from those who éeclared the ministers were making the fight for the laymen in thetr conference, and shculd be supported by, having the luymen, in turn, support their measure for election of presiding elders and relief from absolute authority of bishops. The laymen went further in passing the last two resolutions by changing the third to provide that no appointments shall be made without confirmation by a majority of the bishop's cabinet. The committee re- port of the ministers, upon which was mod- eled the resolutions introduced in the lay confererce, provided only for one-thirl of the cabinet to support the bishop's acticn. In the case of the Baltimore conference, which has five districts, this would mean two votes, or, three, with. the bishop. In other conferences, with a greater number of presiding elders, it was thought the one- third rule would not be a strong enovgh check on the sway of the bishop. A. B. Duval of Washington opposed the election of presiding elders because he thought there was a covert aitempt to wipe out the eldership entirely. In that case he wanted the intention fairly and squarely expressed. Samuel H. Walker of Washinzton said the action was only in the line of vro- gressive Methodism, and was due the laity for their prominence in church affairs. He said churches had done without min'sters, but never without the laity, and might as well be closed without women. Louis M. Bacon, a brother of Rev. Geo. C. Bacon, who originated the resolutions, Jed in the fight for their adoption by the lay_body. The first resolution was adopted by a vote of 9% to 6 The second item had a vote in its favor of 9 to 19. The third had ‘2 to 18 votes in its favor. Rev. George C. Bacon was invited to a seat on the platform, after the vote was announced, and was received by the con- ference, standing. He expresse:t his appre- ciation of the action of the members in voting as they did. Mayor Hooper, who was a delegate from First Church, Woodbury, a sw of Bal- timore, arrived in time to vote for the delegates, but did not get a vote on the resolutions. General conference was’ memorialized by the lay conference to-appoint a commis- sion of equal ministerial and lay mcsaber- ship to formulate a constitution fer the M. E. Church, providing for equ sentation in the general confere: such other changes as the growing needs of the church demand. The conference declared against pool sell- ing and winter horse racing, an sent a petition to the Maryland legislature ask- ing the members to defeat a bill there for racing and pool selling at the Arlington track. James E. Ingram of Baltimore was pres- ident of the conference; David P. Miller of Cumberland, vice president; Grason Bishop, secretary; ‘Tasker, assistant. The resolutions committee comprised: J. 1 and A. B. Duval of Washing- strict; A. R. Cathcart, B. F. Bennett, W. C. Kirwan, John S. Berry, itimore; W. M. Winks, W. T. Har- ; F. M. Reynolds, I. F. Bender, Frederick. et Marquette nud Roger Williams. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Will you aliow a High School boy to make a brief reply to the ‘Catholic lay- man” who signs “T."” to an article on Mar- quette in The Star of Wednesday last? He inquires “why Marquette’s titie to honor for distinguished civic or military services does not rest upon as good foun- dation as does that of Roger Williams.” Marquette came to this country a Jesuit priest, in the service of the church, and it is not on record that he ever served in any civie capacity. If he rendered any service to the country it was only incidental, not with patriotic intent. He is scarcely men- ioned in_ history. Roger Williams, on the other hand, “the first asserter in modern Christendom of the, sanctity of perfect freedom of conscience,” was one of the Puritans in England. ‘To escape the persecutions to which they were subjected in England he fled to this coun- try to find what was denied him there— freedom te worship God. But there was a friction between him and the churches in the New England, and he was ordered back to England. To avoid this he left the whites and found refuge among the In- dians. He began to build a settlement at Seekonk, but was forced from it, and ar- rived in Rhode Island in 1635, and called the place “Providence.” He founded a commonwealth in the form of a pure de- mocracy. which has had its influence. on the whole political history of the state. He risked his life to prevent the Indians from rising upen the whites. In 1643 he was sent to England to secure a charter for Rhode Island, and parliament recetved him with honor, giving him a charter, and its metes and bounds are those of the state of Rhode Island today. Bancroft, in his “History of the United States,” eulogizes him highly. It is thus that he gained re- nown in civic affairs which Marquette’s friends, even, have never claimed for him. “T.” of Wednesday is not accurate in other statements which he makes. He claims to belong to the “largest Christian denomination in the nation.” The census of the United States for 1890 shows but 75 the Catholic 7,501,439 communicants in Church, while there are of the various Protestant denominations, not counting Jews, 619,173 members. Nor does “more than two-fifths of the population of Rhode Island belong to the Catholic Church,” as he claims. The same statistics show that in 1890 there were in that state 96,755 communicants, while the population was 3: %6. The proportion is about thirty-five-one-hundredths. Would it not be well for “A Layman” to be “sure he is right” before going ahead in print? EASTERNER. ———_-— TO CANCEL LAND GRANTS. Suits Begun Against the C., Rallway. United States District Attorney Saw- yer has commenced suit at Omaha against the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad Company et al. to cancel land grants alleged to be held by settlers under the laws of the government. Fully 5,000 perscns are affected. The railroad company wired Attorney General Harmon with a view of staying the service of the subpoenas pending the passage of the bill now before Congress. The summons re- quires .he defendants to appear April 6 to answer the complaint. District Attorney Sawyer received word from Attorney Gen- eral Harmon on Wednesday evening to delay the suit against the Burlington road fer a few weeks, but as nothing was said about stopping the service of the sub- poenas, the marshals proceeded with that work, and several weeks will elapse before all are served. > —_—_+0+____ Fencibles’ Fair. The fair of the National Fencibles, which has been in progress for two weeks past at the National Rifles’ Armory, will be brought to a close this evening with an auction sale of all articles remaining on hand.

Despite the very wintry weather of the past few days, the condition of the local wholesale produce market remains about- as it was a week ago. There is no change in the price of butter, and contrary to gen- eral expectation eggs are today advanced but a fraction above their price of last week. The stock of old cheese is rapidly beiag disposed of, and some slight amount of new gcods have been seen, but prices remain unchanged. Poultry is fairly plen- tiful, and a good demand retains last week’s prices. The seme can be said of vegetables and fruits, as well as of beef and other meats. The market is a bounti- fully supplied one, and a firm, healthy tone prevails. Butter is somewhat firmer than last re- ported, bat it is no higher, although the coming week may see a slight advance. The arrivals are small, due to the hard weather, perhaps, while the demand is large. Seconds are steady, but June creamery is at a rather low stage. Hence, there is more interest displayed in fresh imitations. Prices prevailing today: Fancy Elgin and other western extras, 23 cents a pound; choice, 21; firsts, 18; seconds, 16. Choice bakers’ stock, 13 to 15; New York tubs, 16; dairy print, 19; western, -10 to 15; Maryland and Virginia creamery, 18; dairy packed, 16. The old stock of cheese is being rapidly disposed of to make room for the new goods, socn to be sesn in the market in quanti- ties, but so far prices remain unchanged: New York state cream, large, 1114 cents a pound; flats, 12%, and ponys, 14. It was generally supposed that the cold weather of the present week would send the price of eggs up somewhat, but while such an effect may be seen later, the pric2s teday are but a fraction above that last week reported: Near-hy fresh, 12 to 12% cents a dozen; western, 11; southern, 10 to 11, and Keat or guinea stock, + to 5. There is practically no charge in poultry, and while the supply is a good one, the de- mand is large enough to keep prices where they. were last week. Drawn turkeys, 16 to 17 cents a pound; live, 10 to 13; live chick- ens, 10 to 14; dressed, 12 to 16; old stock, dressed, 8 to 9; live, 4 to 6; capons, 16 to 18; ducks, 12 to 13, and geese, 6 to 9. As may be seen from the following quota- tions, vegetables and fruits remain about as last quoted: Cabbages, $5 to $10 per hun- dred; new, $3 to $3.50 a barrel; potatoes, 15 to 35 cents a bushel; sweet potatoes, red, $3 to $3.50 a barrel; eastern shore sweet po- tatoes, $3.50 to $4 a barrel; yams and hay- mons, $2 to $3 a barrel; beets, $1 to $1.50 a hundred bunches; yellow cnions, $1 to $2 a barrel; new, 40 to 60 cents a bushel; Kale, 75. cents a barrel; spinach, $3 to $4 a barrel; lettuce, $4 to $5 a barrel; carrots, $1 to $1.50 a borrel; strawberries, 40 to 65 cents a quart; cauliflower, $4 to $5 a barrel; turnips, $1 to $1 a barrel; Virginia white beans, $1 black-eyed peas, 75 cents to $1 a celery, 25 to 75 cents a dozen; bushel; " Florida tomatoes, $2.50 to $3.50 a crate: fancy table apples, $2 to $3.50 a barre fancy California oranges, $4 to $4.50 a bo: Messina, $3 to $5; Val ia, $3 to $3.5 lemons, $2 to $4 a box. There is absolutely no change whatever in the price of beef and other meats, as may be seen from the foliowing: Live cattle from 2 to 4 1-4 cents a pound; lambs, 4 to 5 1-4; sheep, 2 to 4 ; cows, with calves, $20 to $45; calves, 5 to 7 cents a pound, and dress- ed hogs, 4 to 7. ——_— —_ Our Prices Do Their Own Talking.
