DELEGATES TO PREACH HERE. Proceedings of the Methodist Confer- ence in Session at Baltimore. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, May 14.—A number of pulpits in Washington will be filled to- morrow by delegates to the general confer- ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church Scuth, which ts In session here. The conference is advised in a commit- tee’s report to non-coucur in the memorial of the western Virginia conference to change the boundary line between that conference and the Baltimore and Holston bodies. It is desired to make the Allegany ridge the dividing line, but to do this Bal- timore conference would lose a presiding elder’s district and Holston would lose two counties of its territory. Rev. James A. Anderson of Arkansas in- troduced 2 resolution to have conference look with disfavor on the nomination of men for high office in the church through the public prints. This was characterized by one of the delegates as an attempt to “muzzle the press,” and was quickly laid on the table. A long discussion took place over a propo- sition to iimit the tenure of office of pre- siding elders. finally it was decided to leave the discipline as at present, the bish- ops not being a.iowed to appoint an elder to preside in the same district more than four years,, successively. The proposed change wonif have limited the time to hold: ing the office, but as the law now stands~ a presiding elder may be changed to an- other district at the expiration of his term. Last night a reception was given the bishops and delegates at the Woman's College, the trustees, faculty and students. being the hosts of the evening. As many of the students are from the southern states, the gathering was an extremely friendly one. —_>—_—_. QUESTION OF PARTY WALLS. Commissioner Black Considering Mat- ter ans Affecting Street Construction. The Engineer Commissioner of the Dis- trict has under consideration just now the question of party walls in the case of build- ings of steel construction—those where the skeletons are of that character. Corre- spondence has been had with the authori- ties of many of the principal cities of the country, and some of the cities have been visited by officials of the Commissioner's office. The height of these and other buildings is also being considered, the question being whether the building regu- lations governing these matters should be amended. Commissioner Black today received from the local chapter of the American Insti- tute of Architects a communication, in which that body places itself on record a9 being opposed to any increase in the height of buildings as now fixed by the building regulations of the District. The chapter states that, in its opinion, any such in- crease would be detrimental to the beauty of the city in general and the parks in par- ticular. The chapter believes that a reduc- tion of the present limit would be prefer- able to any increase. It is not believed that the Commissioners will alter the regulations in this matter. Nor is it probable they will amend the reg- ulations governing the question of party walls. It has been the rule of the office, it is sald, to restrict the walls of steel con- structed buildings entirely within the bound- ary of the lot on which they are proposed to be erected—that is, at least 4 inches from the line dividing the two lots of ground. Under this rule, after a steel-con- structed building has been erected, its wall cannot be utilized by the owner of the ad- Joining lot, and the building first erected cannot, therefore, be injured in any man- ner. Where the adjoining buildings are of steel construction the enforcement of this rule would mean an open space of several inches between the two, but in that event it is pointed out that the brick or stone fronts of the buildings could easily be made to connect, and the space roofed over and joined at the rear. thus forming an air space, which would, it is claimed, mean additional protection in the event of fire in the other building. This space, it is con- tended, would also prevent the transmis- sion of both sound and heat from one building to the other. ee Members of the Masonic fraternity who have not yet made returns for the season tickets sent them for the Masonic fair and exposition are urgently requested to do so at once, in order that the books of the ticket committee may be closed and the prizes awarded by the board of control.

The committee—Miss Margaret Huddleson and Miss Belle C. Saunders—had decorated the tables with choice flowers and ferns. A group of pansies, the acad- emy flower, was attached to each card, and on the cards were written appropriate sen- timents. Mrs. Sara A. Spencer, tht re- tiring magister, occupie1 the place of honor at the head of the table, and at her right were the guests of the academy, Mrs. Reed of the Red Cross and her niece. Among the guests of the members were Mrs. Alexander Kent, Mrs. Ellen S. Mus- sey, Mrs. Mary Phelps, Mrs. Asa S.

A vote of thanks was extended to the re- tiring magister for her serv:ces during the year, and to the committee for their large share in the day’s pleasure and success.

Dr. George O. Little, for the severance of his pastoral relations with the congrega- tion. It is expected by all interested that the request will be granted, as Dr. Little has already tendered his resignation to the ses- sion of the church, and although it is its desire that he shall continue to serve as pastor, he has declined and will insist that his resignation be accepted as offered by him, to take effect June 1. In conversation last evening with a Star reporter, Dr. Little said the relations be- tween himself and his congregation were of the most harmonious character, but he had concluded that with the observance of his twenty-fifth anniversary as pastor of As- sembly he would withdraw from the office and take a much-needed vacation. Continuing, Dr. Little said that for twen- ty years following the period when he took charge of the church the roll of member- ship increased every year, but that during the last five years there has been a gradual decrease in the numbers in attendance. This was, he said, owing to the fact that since 1893 Assembly has been depleted by the removal of members to ine new churches of the denomination at Takoma Park, Eckington, Kensington and to the new Mount Pleasant Congregational Church, recently dedicated, and by reason of the wholesale discharges from the gov- ernment printing office made during the last Cleveland administration, many of whom had been connected with his church, The effect of this had been to deplete the revenues of the church to a large extent, and as there seemed to be no prospect of attaining a better financial standing in the near future, he believed the interests of the church demanded a rearrangement. ‘A removal to a new field, as proposed by the Fourth Church, is out of the question in the case of Assembly Church, owing to legal impediments, and so he thought it would be best for him to step aside and have the ...urch choose a new pastor. os At 5:30 o’clock on Monday afternoon trus- tee will sell a valuable lot, improved by two-story frame dwelling, on P st.

How many thousands there are today who would gladly pay almost any reasonable sum to be cured of elther one of the above diseases, but, knowing of so many different remedies and treatments, are unable to decide which one to try. It does seem a dificult task, yet becomes a comparatively easy one if the person affiicted will but use a little good Judgment and common seuse. In the first place, every man and woman knows, or should know, that the air passages were made for air alone, and that nature has so constructed these ges that moisture of any kind cannot enter bronchial tubes or lungs. This at once precludes all possi- Dility of a cure of deep-seated diseases being ef- fected by treatment requiring the use of sprays, douches, atomizers or vapors. Secondly, all regu- lar physicians admit that these diseases are purely local ana must be treated locally, consequently stomach medic.ues become -uscless in treating di eases of the alr passages, The diseased parts must be reached through the air we breathe or not at all. Not only this, but a germicide must be used which will leave the air dry and yet have the Power to destroy the bacilli of disease in the mi- nutest air cells of the lungs. This decision reach- ed, them comes the question: Is there such a ger- micide, which can be inhaled through the air you breathe?
