METHODIST - LAYMEN Tnangural Meeting of the Association of the Maryland Conference. PROMINENT CHURCHMEN PRESENT Equal Representation With Minis- ters in Conference Demanded. OTHER BUSINESS TRANSACTED The first annual meeting of the Lay- men's Association of the Baltimore confer- erce was held at 10 o'clock this morning at Trinity M. E. Church, 5th and D streets scutheast. ‘The most important business to be transacted at the meeting was the adoption of a memorial for the enforce- ment of equal representation Of the lay- men in the’ conference sessiors. There was a large attendance. E. F. Simpson read an address of wel- come to the delegates on behalf of the Washington laymen, he being one of the latter, after which the roll call of dele- gates was made by the secretary of the association, Walter Kirwan. The meeting Wes presided over by the president of the artociation, J. S. Rawlirgs, of Baltimore. Hie remarks at opening were fellowed by the call for credentials, and those which Lad not been turned in were collected. Officers and Committees. Mr. G. W. F. Swartzell of Washington was nominated and elected assistant sec- retary to the meeting. Mr. Alexander Ash- ley offered an amendment te the constitu- tion that the representatives of the differ- ent churches present, though being regu- larly elected, be made accredited delegates. This was adcpted. The motion was made that the president und five vice presidents be a fraterna! committee to represent the association at the conference, and it was adopted. The following committees were appointed, one member being from each district: Resolutions—Washington, S. H. Walker; Baltimore, T. L. Tareyhill; East Baltimore, Vv. Emory Gardner; West Baltimore, J. E. Ingram; Frederick, T. R. Carskaddon. Nominations—Baltimore district, John S. Deale; East Baltimore, William T. Conn; Frederick, D. P. Miller; West Baltimore, E. M. Hoffman; Washington, E. F. Simp- son, chairman. Debate on all subjects, except in the case of invited speakers, was limited to five min- utes. Demand for Recognition. A memorial to be presented to the ton- ference, prepared by ¢he executive commit- tee, was read. It will be voted upon during the present conference. It was read by Dr. David Carroll, who was instrumental in having it prepared. It was in part as fol- lows: “Tne Laymen’s Association respectfully and most earnestly petition the members of the Baltimore conference to sanction, by their votes, the proposition coming before the conference at this session, to amend the restrictive rule, so that the general con- ference shall be composed of an equal num- ber of lay and ministerial delegates. “The principle of lay delegation was magnarimousiy conceded by the ministry in 1872, when lay delegates for the first” time were admitted to the general confer- ence. Since the question of lay represen- tation has been admitted it is now not a question of princinle, but of plan. The question is, shall the present plan of not more than two lay deiegates from any an- nual conference be continued, or shall it be so changed as to allow the 2,500,009 lay members delegates equal in number to the delegates sent by the 17,000 ministers? Present System Unju: “The present plan of ministry representa- tion is unjust to the conference,” continued the memerial, “in that it gives to sixty- seven conferences equal representation and to fifty-five confer2nces unequal, when the sixty-seven conferences, with their ninety- one lay representatives, have only about 500,000 members, ani the fifty-five confer- ences, with their 110 representatives, have over 2,000,000 members. is not this the opportunity to settle the question as far as the Baltimore confer- ence is concerned? With religious 2arnest- ness we appeal to you, dear fathers and brethren, to give your generous support to the proposition to change the restrictiv> rule adopted and sent around the confer- ences by the unanimous vote of the Rock River conference last session. May w2 not hepe that the Baltimore conference, the first of the large eastern conferences to vot2 on this proposition, will favor it, if not by a unanimous vote, at least by the constitutional majority? Thus sent on its mission to other conferences, we have strong reason to believe it will receive the unselfish support of our ministry, upon whos; generous treatment we are depend- ent for the favor we seek.” Addresses and Reports. The president made his address, which received a vote cf thanks from the dele- gates. The committee on resolutions re- tred to consult in regard to the memorial and other resolutions, and the report of the secretary was read and adopted. An effort was made to have the memorial in- dorsed by the association, but it was thought best to let it go through the reg- uiar channels. A motion was made by Mr. Ashley that the association elect delegates to the pro- posed national convention to be held in In- dianapolis in September. It was offered, Mr. Ashley said, simply that the associa- tion could fall in line in the convention matter, if it was found a practical course to pursue, and this was received with ap- Plause. It was laid over till the afternoon session. Bishop Hurst Fnvors Equality. Bishop John F. Hurst was introduced to the association by President Rawlings, the delegates acknowledging his presence by rising to their feet. His address was on the subject “Equal Representation in the General Conference.” “One of my first acts,” the bishop said, “was to vote for lay representation in the annual conference, thereby causing some little criticism from my presiding elder. “One or two of us members of the con- ference at that time were marked men. We were somewhat radical, but it must be remembered that the radical of today is the reformer of tomorrow. “Ther has been no disposition, I think, on the part of the Methodist Church to restrict the laymen. I believe they are to blame for it themselves to a certain extent. If they had come forward sooner and stood up for their rights they would have receiv- ed what they asked for. I am certain it will come, because there seems to be a ten- dency toward a unanimity for this end in all directions. Injustice of Present Plan. “It is not just to the churches,” contin- ued Bishop Hurst. “Take New York, for nstance, the greatest city. It has a rep- resentation in the conference of only two. in the last general conference there was @ majority of 138 ministers over the lay delegates. It thought that this would be evened up by the call for orders. I be- eve that the sentiment of the general con- ference to be held two years hence will be almost unanimously in favor of equal lay and clerical representation. “The history of the- church shows that the most conservative element has been the laity. Some of the preachers are too much inclined to air their views on Dar- win and others, when they know nothing about the subjects taught by him and the others. The people do not want anything but the word of Gcd. They get enough science during the week. “The laity do not want to usurp any au- thority of the’ church. They simply want to represent the membership of the churches as the preachers represent the charges.” The Memori: Adopted. The address was indorsed by a rising vote. The committee on resolutions, Mr. 8. A. ‘Walker, chairman, then entered and made its report, which was to the effect that the memorial be adopted. This was done, and a rising vote of thanks tendered its author, Dr. David Carroll. As this was about noon, the delegates ad- journed to eat a lunch prepared by the laéies of the church in the basement. Received by the President. At 2:15 the delegates went to the White House, where they were received by Presi- dent McKinley, arrangements having been made to this end. President Rawlings of the association made. the introductions. The delegates returned to the church at 3 o'clock, when the matter of nominations and other business was taken up and finish- ed. At the afternoon session addresses on “Equal Ministerial and Lay Representa- tion” were made by Bishop S. M. Merrill, Dr. J. E. James of Philadelphia, who was introduced to the association at the morn- ing session, and Rev. Dr. L. T. Townshend of Washington. The report of committees and election of officers followed, and the Session of the association was ended. —_ EDWARDS’ GREAT FRAT. Has Covered 6,300 Miles on His Wheel —To Try for Road Record. “Teddy” Edwards, who has been cover- ing a hundred miles a day in the vicinity of Washington for a couple of weeks, in- tends to go over to Baltimore in May and try for the twenty-four-hour road record ever the course of the Century Cycle Club of that city. After going for over 300 miles in one day, he would, indeed, be a Phenomenon could he follow it with a century next day. He once made an attempt on the national twenty-four hour record, rolling up what was alleged to have been 345 miles, When the course was surveyed it was found to be shor! of the distance claimed, bringing the record down to 321, which, however, was not acceptable to the Century Road Club of America, leaving Davis’ record of 317 still the national record. Edwards yesterday completed his sixty- second century this year. The best pre- vious record was held by Jack Knowles, who rode sixty-one consecutive “hun- dreds.” a eegeneeeeeed Madame Macdonnell’s Entertainment. A large audience was entertained® last evening at Masonic Temple by Mme. Mac- donnell, who gave a lecture on phren- ology, followed by an exhibition of her power in getting subjects undef her in- fluence, and when in this condition they imagined they were exploring the wreck of the Maine. The proceeds were for the benefit of the Maine sufferers. — Se Sorrow and Sympathy. At the weckly meeting of the Lutheran Lyceum of the Church of Our Redeemer, Rey. D. E. Wiseman offered a resolution to the effect that “it is with’ deep sorrow and much sympathy that the lyceum learns of the dastardly crime of murder, executed a few days ago in Lake City, S. C., upon Postmaster Frazier Baker and family, members of our race.” es Lecture on Alaska. ‘The Colored High School, on M street, as- gembled Wedresday afternoon and listened to a lecture on Alaska by Mr. 8. W. Nich- ols, editor of the Jacksonville, Ill., Journal. Mr. Nichols took a tour, covering 2,500 miles north of Puget sound, last summer, and his narrative of the adventure con- veys much information in a most agreeable manner. —___ Wanted Ten Cents. An elderly man named Richard J. Cope- land was arrested near the south entrance to the Capitol yesterday for begging. “I had 5 cents in my pocket,” he told Judge Kimball this morning, “‘and I want- ed 10 more to pay for my bed.” “That was a bad way to get it,” he was told. He was sent down for thircy duys. Sa Blase in a Grocery Store. A local alarm was sent to the fire depart- ment about 10:30 o'clock last night because of a blaze discovered in the basement of 1810 14th street. The building is occupied as @ dwelling and groc2ry store by 8. H. Gwynne, and owned by W. 8. Chandler. Electric light wires, it is thought, caused the fire, which was extinguished before much damage wes done. Mr. Gwynne suf- fered loss from the effects of a conflagr tion some time ago. Members of his fam- ily then narrowly escaped suffocation. THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MAP.

The bishop spoke at length on the vari- ous works of the Methodist Episcopal Church and referred especially to the large number of Methodists now in the country. “I don’t know what the Lord wants with 89 many Methodist ministers,” said the biskop, “but I suppose He will put them all to good use.” The bishop referred to the fact that there were more ministers than places where they may be used. At the conclusion of his remarks the matter of admitting the candidates was taken up and each man discussed. Each of them was balloted for Separately and elected to membership in the conference, and were also chosen to be deacons. On motion of Rev.
