At the meeting of the grange this morning the construction of the road- was discussed. It was the sense of the meeting that as the proposition sprang from | purely sentimental motives, and that it would be of no practical benefit for freight, as it paralieled both the rail- road and the ocean, the expense would not be warranted. It was contended that the peopie of the counties out- | ide the territory of the road would | not vote for the provosition without | they could get appropriations for | roads and highways within their own counties, and as a consequence the tax upon the people of the State for road- ways would become too heavy a burden | to bear. ———————— Will Instruct in the Gymnasium. | STANFORD UNIVERSITY, May 14. | Royce R.

It retired from all active participation in church work five of its venerable Bishops. They are Bishop Edward G. Andrews of New York, Bishop John M. Walden of Cin- cinnati, Bishop John H. Vincent of Zu- rich, Switzerland; Bishop Willard F. Mallalieu of Boston and Bishop Cyrus | D. Foss of Philadelphia. The ballot on the retirement of these | high officials was taken at noon to-day, and while the result is closely guarded and will not be made public until the tellers report to the conference next Monday morning, it can be stated with | every assurance of accuracy that those | above named will be placed on the superannuated roll. The committee on episcopacy, whose duty it was to con- sider, this important matter and make recommendations to the General Con- ference, did not include the name of Bishop Foss among those to be retired. It stated, however, that the question of retiring Bishop Foss had been consid- ered bv the committee and that after hearing a statement by that officer it | had been decided to continue his name |in the effective list. It 'was thought that this explanation would result in | Bishop Foss' retention as an active | general superintendent, but it 1s learned from reliable sources that the vote in | favor of Bishop Foss' retirement was | more than two-thirds of the accredited | representation to the conference. The vote on the other Bishops ranged from | 500 to 600 in favor of retirement. The | conference also accepted the request of | sentor Bishop Stephen M. Merrill for | retirement. i DRAMATIC SCENE PRESENTED. | The action of the conference to-day creates six vacancies in the Board of Bishops. These, together with the two | resulting by reason of the deaths of | Bishops Ninde and Hurst during the | 1ast quadrennium, makes necessary the | election of eight general superintend- ents by the present conference. It is | also probable that two additional mis- | sionary Bishops will be chosen. The scene that preceded the ballot- !ing upon the retirement of the aged | Bishops was dramatic. At the mo- | ment when every one expected the conference to adjourn for the day, in | order to permit the delegates to ac- | cept an invitation to go sightseeing, Dr. J. M. Buckley, chairman of the | committee on episcopacy, arose and asked permission to submit the report | from a committee on the subject of | superannuated Bishops. There were immediate manifestations of surprise among the delegates and for the time | being all thoughts of adjournment were abandoned. Dr. Buckley made | his way to the platform amid intense silence. Facing the .assembly, he | paused a moment and said slowly and | impressively: “A man in my position at this mo- ment is to be pitied, but I am only doing my duty.” He then proceeded to read the re- | port of the sub-committee of the com- mittee on episcopacy, recommending the retirement of Bishops Walden, Mallalieu, Vincent and Andrews, amid | the closest attention. | BISHOPS ARE RETIRED. “The report of the sub-committee of the standing committee on episcopacy | having recommended the placing of Bishops Willard F. Mallalieu, John M. Walden, John . Vincent and Edward G. Andrews on the superannuate list, before taking action or engaging in discussion, a committee was appointed to confer with those Bighops and to invite them to communicate their views in person to the committee. This they did at such length ané in such manner as they thought best. “During the discussion which sub- sequently ensued the condition and prospects of Bishop Cyrus D. Foss were taken into consideration and the { committee took a tentative vote upon | his retirement and invited him to a special session, held for the purpose. He appeared and made the communi- cation requested. The committee after four hourssof consideration, in which more than fifty of the members took part, giving information from all parts of the work at home and abroad, pro- ceeded to vote by ballot upon the question of effectiveness of the Bish- ops whose names are mentioned in this report. 'The result was that the ADVERTISEMENTS. " Millions who were sick—Ilike you, perhaps— are well to-day because of Liquozone. The first bottle free; will you try it? . More people use Liquozone now than - use medicine. Yet thousands still use drugs to cure germ troubles —to do what drugs can’t do. If you are one of them, won't you let us buy Liquozone and give it to We Paid $100,000 For the American rights to Liquo- zone, because it kills germs in the body without killing the tissues, too. | There is nothing else known which will do that. Any drug that kills germs is a poison, and it cannot be taken internally. Medicine cannot de- stroy the cause of a germ trouble. Liquozone is so certain that we pub- lish on every bottie an offer of $1000 for a discase germ that it cannot kill. The reason is that germs are vege- tables, and Liquozone—like an excess of oxygen gas—is deadly to vegetal matter. Liquozone invariably destroys the germs of disease, wherever they are; yet to the human body it is the most helpful thing in the world. Acts Like Oxygen. The value of Liquozone lies in the fact that it does what oxygen' does. Oxygen is the nerve food, the blooed food, the scavenger of the blood. . 1t is the very source of vitality, the most essential element in life. There wauld be no weak nerves, no impure blood, no inside germs if we could -get into | - the blood an excess of oxygen. . But oxygen is a gas, and unstable. An ex- | cess cannot be held in the blood. | In the making of Liquozone we get | the virtues of 1250 cubig inches of the | gas into one cubic inch of liquid. The best oxygen producers. The process of making takes 14 days. The result is a wonderful product, stable and con- centrated, holding all the virtues of the gas. It goes into the blood, to go wherever the blood goes. No germ can escape it and none can resist it. The results are inevitable. But Liquozone is more than a germicide. Oxygen is Nature’s great- est tonic, and Liquozone is a'vitalizer with which no other known product can compare. It not only destroys the | cause of the germ trouble, but it quickly repairs all the damage which the germs have done. It gives ta Germ Diseases. These are the known germ diseases. All that medicine can do for these troubles is to help Nature overcome the germs, and such results are indi- rect and uncertain. Liquozone kills | the germs, wherever they are, and the | results are inevitable, By 'destroying the cause of the trouble it invariably ! ends the disease, and forever. Asthma.

METHODIST CONFERENCE | Dramatic Scene Preceeds the Balloting Upon the Question of Placing the Names of the Several Venerable Ecclesiastics on Superannuated Roll FIVE BISHOPS committee recommended that they be | placed upon a superannuate list, to take effect at the close of his General Conference, and instructed the chair-, man to move that they be so classi-| fled.” Dr. Buckley then read a further re- | port of the committee on episcopacy | reporting as effective the following Bishops: John W. Hamilton, David H. Moore, Earl Cranston, Charles C. McCabe, | Daniel A. Goodsell, Isaac W. Joyce, James M. Fitzgerald, Charles H. Fow- ler and Henry W. Warren, and the fol- lowing . missionary Bishops effectiv | Francis W. Warne, Joseph C. Hartzell | and James M. Thoburne. PARLIAMENTARY OBSTRUCTION. Upon the conclusion of the reading of the report Dr. Buckley asked for immediate action by the conference. A motion to adjourn was promptly voted down. Motions to lay the report on the table, to extend the time to allow a ballot to be taken and a fur- ther motion to lay the motions upon the tableswere successively voted upon by the conference, and, notwithstand- | ing the injecting of every other par- llamentary obstruction, the way was finally cleared and Dr. Buckley was given the floor. “As I awoke this morning, "he be- gan, “long before daylight, after hav- ing retired at 2 o'clock, two passages of the Scriptures came into my mind, as if they had Dbeen sent there. The | first was from the Old Testament: ‘The days of our years are three score years and ten, and if by reason of strength they be four score years, yet is there | strength, labor and sorrow.’” And. the other was from the New Testament: ‘He must Increase, but I must de- crease.’ . “It has been intimated this morning that this matter was progressing un- der a species of gag law. “Mr. President, the committee on episcopacy consists of 256 members; | men selected by the laity and the min- istry of thelr conferences. When the| vote was taken upon the report of the | sub-committee, which recommended the retirement of Bishops Walden, Mallalieu, Vincent and Andrews, a tentative vote was then taken upon the vote qof Bishop Foss. Two hun- dred and twenty-four members of the committee were present and the small- est yvote relating to the superannuation of these beloved men caxze within two | of being twg-thirds of t'se whole num- ber and several of the voces passed the | three-quarters mark. In all the de- bate there was not an unkind word; in all the debate no controverted sub- Ject was introduced, nor was there anything said which could not have been sald if the subject of it had been present. “This is the situation: If the episco- | pacy of our church can be managed | with all of its diverse and complicated | duties by men averaging above 70 years, and the majority of them aver- aging a higher rate, and if these per- sons take a contract of four years, then the episcopacy cannot possibly be s0 important as it is generally supposed | to be. DICTUM OF A BISHOP. “Brethren, the destiny of the young preacher, the destiny of the old preach- er, turns upon the dictum of a Bishop. The memory is the first great faculty | to begin to fail. A man may stand and | preach like an angel at 85, but he can- not take on new matter and do any- thing of a serious character requiring the memory at 85, unless he be a prod- igy, and legislative bodies do not leg- islate upon the principle of prodigies, but upon the great average of humnn‘ nature. It has been said that the man who talks about retiring a Bishop is a cruel man. I have never talked about :t“‘ All that T am doing to-day I do | under orders. To no man on the com- mittee did I ever name the men to be retired. With no member of any com- mittee that I have appointed have I conversed during the entire session in connection with the matters that are, degeribed in this report. Wherever I} knew that anything had been said that | T could clear up in favor of a Bishop. | I spoke to the committge about it. That | is all that T have don “Let me say there is no Bishop in this assembly, there has been no Bish- op in this assembly since James and Ames died, that I have not had the honor and pleasure of voting for. These | men are among my best friends. They | have been my advisers. The General Conference officers, my brothren, are| never superannuated. They are simply left out. If you want to get rid of them vate for some other men. Not so with persons who hold a life estate. There- fore when a Bishop reaches a point when he is too feble, then wisdom and the best interests of the church demand ; that he be retired. “The circumstances now apply. And if you do not retire these Bishops ut | this conference you will not retire them at any future conference, and you will have aged men in all the centers of church activity. Having failed to take action at this time, you will at future conferences fall *back | on that plea of the weak and the sell- defensive—the time limit.” BISHOP FOSS INTERRUPTS. At this point Dr. Buckley was ‘n- terrupted by Bishop Foss, who rose from his seat on the stage and asked whether the conference .would graat him permission to put a question pri- | vately to Dr. Buckley. There were | cries from the floor of “Let it Le! granted.” .Bishop Foss rose from his | chair on the stage and coming to the edge of the platform, whispered a mo- ment with Dr. Buckley, who had al-| ready replied that he would gladly listen to the question if the confer- | ence were willing. The white-haired | Bishop and Dr. Buckley stood and whispered together inaudibly while the great assembly watched in abso- lute silence. It was a dramatic mo- ment. .. Bishop Fgss turned, walked slowlv back and resumed his seat. Dr. Buck- ley turned*and faced the confersnce. | “I feel,” he said, “that it is entirely | within the bounds of propriety that I should state to the. conference the question Bishop Foss asked me and the answer 1 gave. He asked me | whether a legal vote on his retirement | had been taken in the committee after | he had appeared before that body and ' spoken in response to its invitation. | I replied in the affirmative:.

Bishop Foss had departed from the committee a legal vote was taken and by a majority of the 167 members present and voting decided to continue his name.” The conference then proceeded to vote, and when the ballots had been collected and placed in the hands of the secretary, Bishop McCabe declared the session adjourned for the day. A ma- jority of the delegates accepted an in- vitation to join an excursion to River- side.
