CLEVELAND , 0. , May 27.-Speclal ( Corre-
opondonco of The Deo.-There ) Is no gathering
ing of rollelous workers just like this Meth-
I odlst general conference , and 'no church
which gets periodically the thorough adver
tls'ng ' this does by means of the noisy pro-
ceedingn of this body. Perhaps , too , there
Is no church which , by the hard work it
does and the success It acbloves , so well
deserves this dlslietion , Bishop McCabe ,
who makes a specially of church statistics ,
votchce for the statement that one-third
of this church , as It stands today with Its
2,750,000 members , Is the creation of the last
twelve years , and that In the foreign mla-
sionn of the church more converts have been
made in these last twelve years than In all
the years preceding. Another of his astonIshing -
Ishing etatonents is that this church gives
annually to the work of clod , at home and
abroad , about $21,000,000 , So tlfat , as ho
graphically puts it , the Melhodst ! Episcopal
church could annually , by Its contributions ,
reproduce the great White City of the
World's tnlr , and have , each year , a surplus
of $4,000,000 for pocket money ,
The marvelous success of thin church has
its influence , no doubt. In causing the conference -
ference to move so slowly as It does in
making changes , The woman question has
been acute for more than eight years , yet It
1s still unsettled. Longer still have the laymen -
men clamored for additional recognition , yet
lids conference has voted that it will not
give the memborshlp of the church a direct
vote in sending representatives to this body ,
and has refused to commit Itself to the long-
pending proposition to make the laymen in
it equal hr number with the minister. . The
only thing possible is to submit the question
for a third time to the annual conferences ,
and what the result I. likely to be the
reader can infer from the adverse fate the
name proposal has met from those bodies
in the two qudranniuina just' closed.
DENT ON REFORhL
Never were the laity of the church more
bent upon reform , and , to their credit it
should be said , they never held themselves
under bettor control. One ! mint of special
soreness is that the ministers insist atilt
upon keeping to themtnlvos all the great
church oillces , They have refused again to
even admit laymen to a share In the respon-
slble mangoment of the Book Concern ,
strictly secular though that business ia , Tlue
t two lay candidates , Olmarles fl , Magee for the
1 Now York agency , and George ) f. Johnson
for the Clnclnad house , could each run up
to about 170 votes , butL they could get no
higher. The ministers are not willing at
present to turn over these fat positions to
oven such well equipped and popular layman -
man as then. , Nevertheless the lay dale.
, ' gates , though they feel sore , arc keeping a
cool ead , They are not drawing the line
very closely In the voting , and this is the
first general conference at which they have
tailed to show their strength by demanding
a vote by order. .
The vote in committee for removing time
time limit was 28 in favor to $8 against , a
vole which would probably represent tae
sentiments of the entire conference. It le
very aiguifieaut by the way , that the demand
for removal comas almost entirely from the
I mdnistera , and that the laity are overwhelm-
1 ingly against it , There have probably come
t to this body as many memorials urging
the contlnaunce of the thue limit as pall-
done asking that it be abolished , Not a tow
t have urged a return to the former limit of
three years. The committee of itneraney
nu reported that at rho fartheat tjiere

should be no change other than to provide
that In extremely exceptional cases tliq term
of a pastorate may extend to ten years , and
even this is not advised except as it may be
demanded by a three-fourths vote of the
quarterly conference , and the subsequent
concurrence of the bishop and three-fourths
of his cabinet. Not only so , but the presiding -
siding older of the district must also concur ;
and all these checks and guards are to
operate actively every year. So that , oven
it the new plan should be introduced , it
would not at all follow that the man who
wenth back for his sixth year would continue
in undisturbed possession of his church for
the proposed limit of ten years , or that
he would necessarily be appointed for even
a seventh year.
THE CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SOCIETY ,
Incidentally , the Christian Endeavor ao-
cloty has figured In the proceedings , and
there has been widespread misapprehension
on this aubject. The straight of it Is , that
in a committee meeting Dr. Quayto of Kan-
Sn. Cloy had referred , by way of illustration ,
to the action of the body of ondeavorors in
proclaiming publicly that at a certain time
they would offer epocial prayer for Colonel
Ingersoll , This action he called idiotic. lie
woo Intending , to show , 1 think , that Christian -
tian endeavorers were not necessarily per-
foot that they had not a monopoly of the
wisdom of the serpent , spite of tholr dove-
like harmlessness. He did not eay the
Christian Endeavor organization was an
idiotic society , nor that all belonging to it
wore o1 that character. lie simply applied
this stinging epithet to the specific act of a
certain number of that body. It was strong
language , but what can you expect from a
Methodist prelcher , when nature has or-
dalned that a sturdy , unflinching personality
shall be topped off , as , in Dr. Quayle's case ,
with an ample shock of wiry and fiery hair ?
Many , however , whose locks are of a dlf
teront hue altogether , think that Dr. Quayle
called that widely-advertised act of the
Cleveland Christian Endeavorera by its true
name. That is why the conference , after
hearing the doctor's statement , declined to
condemn him , and , ! t iii not in the least
surprising , nor woe it discourteous , that the
conference should refuse , at the e.mme time ,
to perform such an act of supererogation as
would necoas.irlly have boon involved in the
motion which asked 1t to fully endorse that
great society.
Naturally , however , there Ia sensitiveness ,
and the conference proposes no action which
is likely to ranovo this. It will mot corn-
mot itself to practical affiliation with the
Christian Endeavor movement , nor will it
favor the addition to its Epworth leagues of
the Christian I udoavor nano. Whore Chris.
tian Endeavor societies atoll exist in Moth-
odlst clmrclnes , they will not ho Interfered
with , excepting as the trend ntoward the Ep-
worth league may cause such Interference.
But time organization within the Methodist
fold of new Christian Endeavor societies
will not be encouraged , nor will it from this
tlmo he according to discipline ; the simple
reason for this advanced altitude of the con-
Terence being that the Metbodist church has
now a young people's society of its own , and
that the opinion seems to prevail that it is
bettor for Methodist young people to be
strict Methodists rather than a halt and
halt product. This is the straight of the
whole matter , and it la written-an your
correspondent a'ao believes it was devised-
"with malice toward none and with charity
for all ; '
CONSECIIATION OF DISIIOPS ,
As I write , time conference Iis concluding
that deeply impressive service at which Its
now bishops were consecrated. Owing to the
action of the day before la electing Dr. J ,
C. Ilartzell as a missionary bishop to Afrlea ,
there were three candidates Instead of two.
Dr , liartzel la one of the most gentlemanly
looking men in Methodism , Ills bushy gray
hair , not very thick uron liia ample crown ,
his distinguished , clnop-shaped whiskers ,
adorning the face of a typical Church of
England clergyman , and the air of digny !
and roflnement which Is always about him ,
make him a marked man , and will undoubtedly -
doubtedly be a great help to him in the administration -
ministration of his great missionary bishop-
ric. At the moment of hl. election there
was a touching scene. All felt that he was
making great sacrifices and mad undertaken
a great and hazardous work , lie was escorted -
corted to the platform by Dlehop Andrews ,
and all time bishops pressed forward to ornr
greetings. Dlehop William Taylor , his heroic
predecessor , now retired , was amongst these ,
and in response to loud calls for a speech , re
marked that be merely wished to say
amen ; from which it is interred , however ,
that he is pleaeed with the man chosen to
succeed him , and will put no obstacles in bin
way.
way.The consecration service being finished ,
the delegates and spectators , the latter mmn-
bering several thouwtnd , are filing across the
platform to give to the three new bishops
the warm ) land of Methddistic gcdspecd.
Thorn were no incidents. The bishops are
assleted in consecrating their new colleagues
by ministers who are selected by the candidates -
dates ; presumably , their special friends , some
of them very aged , like Dr. Rust , for instance -
stance , who helped in the setting apart of
Dlehop Cranston , and Prof. McCabe of Delaware -
ware , who laid his hands on the head of his
distinguished relative , the chaplain-bishop of
that name. The new bishops kneel upon
footstools. Eight years ago , when live were
consecrated at New York , B'ohop Newman
took his foot before kneeling , and , by a
dignified jerk , knocked the footstool , away
from him , preferring to put his marrowbones -
bones upon the hard floor. This , in pent-
tentlal memory , perhaps , of the long slruggio
it bad coat his friends to get himn elected.
Dut there was no ouch inedont : this time.
WIVES OF NEW BISHOPS. .
To speak of the new bishops makes me
think of their wives. What a strain these
women were under during the tour slays"
deadlock ! But tlnoy sat bravely through
every session. Mrs. Cranston , who is less
than 40 , a charming woman with a Madonna.

as she eat from day to day in the , front row
of a private box , watching for the return of
the tellers , and listening tp the aufounce

mirers from Cincinnati Mrs , McCabe went

as bravely as her aoldier lnusband endured
the vicinlitudes of army life , and it is questionable -
tionable if she was any more pleasel. ; when
the chaplain was made a bishop , than when ,
long years ago , she wolcornod him home

sentative of the typo of ministers who have
planted the flag of Methodism on the far
western prairies. Very properly , the pastern -

if looks count for anything , will surely be
quite as successtul in this business position
as he has always been' in the pastorate.
In the Western Book Agency , Bishop Cranston -
ton Is succeeded by Dr. 11 , C , Jennings , a
substantial , wholesome-looking minister
hailing from Minnesota , lie Is slightly
lame at present ; but think of a man with
a sprained ankle walking away , as Dr. Jennings -
nings did , with the other numerous candl-
dates for timtr place. If , with such a handicap -
cap , he could do so well in the race for
this position , what may not be expected of
him in the office itself ? Dr. Jennings will
preside over the Clmicago house , and the
senior agent , Dr , Lewis Curts , will remove
to headquarters at Cincinnati.
NOTABLES IN EVIDENCE ,
This reminds me that Cidcago is the home
of Dr. Luke Hitchcock , a retired look agent
of lids church , and a man wbosa venerable
and distinguished form has attracted more
attention than that of any other on
tine platform , Amongst the delegates ,
seen and not heard , there are few
who have so striking a face , clerically
speaking , as Dr , J , E , Williams of
Buffalo , Dr. Mllls of Elmtra and Da Luther
Wilson of Balthnore have also atlractod at-
tention. Both part their hair in the middle ,
but , spite of this , they both have brains ,
and seem to know how to use them. Next
la that of Dr. Buckley , no voice has been
weard with more effect than that of the
stalwart Dr. Leonard , the loader now of
Methodism's great missionary boats ,

mottle of Dr. Lanahan , as a umover of the
previous question , seems to have fallen these
days upon Dr , J. C. Little , who , by the vay ,
is a very clear-headed debater , and of whom
ft to said that when he takes the platform
you are likely to hear , not simply Ids own
views , but those of the bishops. One of too
freest of the rich laymen was John E ,

The following account of a visit to the
home of the parents of General Grant in
Covington , Ky. , is taken from the files of The
lice of 1872 :
( Nttorlal Correspondence of The lice. )
CINCINNATI , 0 June 21 , 1972 ; It was
near 6 o'clock in the evening when we landed
at the south end of the suspenolon bridge.
After sauntering at random for about fifteen
minutes throught dilapidated streets , with
their dingy looking houses , inhabited chiefly
by 'a shiftless colored population , I suddenly -
denly turned a corner occupied by an oid-
fashloned two-story brick building. Over
tune door of this ungainly structure I read In
legible charactera on a plan sign the mangle
words , "Pcatodlce. " Words which in Cov-
ii gton , as well as in Omaha , have had their
peculiar stgnlfcanco. Like a Itash of lightning -
ning the thought flitted acroes toy mind that
this was the veritable postotfice presided over
since the days of Andrew Johnson by the
venerable father of the president I entered
the building and quietly inquired of the
gentlemanly clerk whether I could see the
postmaster , "No , " said he , "the old gentleman -
man wan here once today , but has goes home.
Ifo is quite sickly of late mud don't came

Deternmined to interview Father Jesse be.
fore roturnina to Omaha , I followed up my
inquiries until I found mysolt lot front of time
mansion. No such a palatial mansion , lnow-
over , as has been painted by the distorted
visions of Dana and Sumner , but a plain ,
two-story brick , painted in rose color , with
green blinds. The building is located on a
very limited lot , with the only luxury of a
modest little aardem In time rear. The
residence is a douhlo house , occupied by two
families. Tim plate on the first front door
reads very plainly : "J. A , Grant" The
name on tine other door plato I happened to
overlook , I rang the bell with a firm hanll
and the door was promptly opened by an
elderly lady , dressed in plain dark merlmo
or alapaca , whom I nfterwanl learned was the
mother of tine president of tie United States ,
To my inquiry after Mr , Jesse Grant , the
lady replied by directing me through
the hall to the dining room ,
where she said too old gentleman
] mad gone a few minutes before. I entered
lima dining room and there was met by a boy
about 12 years old who told me that his
grandpa was up stairs , and promptly volun-
leered to call him down , Being left alone
in the dining room , I looked around In vain
for any sign of regal splendor. 'Fine floor was
covered with a common ingrain carpet , well
worn. The table was sat for tea. It was
covered vUlm a scrupulously clean white
cloth , and the dishes , china , knives and forks
w'et1 > all of a pattern which betokened econ-
omy. A few unpretending pictures adorned
the paper covered walls. A very ancient
looking umbrella hung on a nail in one corner -
ner , and a very seo9y looking stovepipu hat
was hanging on another , While quietly musing
ing over time extravagant stories about the
wealth of the Covington postmaster , a rather
tall , but stooping old man came tottering
down stairs , supporting himself en a crutch ,
A tall , thin-faced lady , a slater of the president -

i
seated in a rattier tremulous voice , explaining -
ing his infirmity by informing me in broken ,
disjointed and sometimes incoherent non.
fences , that he had suffered from a stroke of
paralysis about six months ago and , although
slowly recovering , had since been unable to
talk or think very clearly on any subject.
He said he was 78 years old and hadn't much
hopes of a speedy recovery. Referring to the
presidential contest , he asked :
"Do you think the General will be elected
again ? "
I told him that the present Indications
looked favorable. He shook his head and
said :
"Well , I don't know much about it now.
My eyes are so weak I can't reed any moro ,
but Mrs. Grant , she reads and interests herself -
self a good deal about politics. Sho's aSiul

General. You never can tell what the General -
eral la going to do about anything. But lot's
go into the parlor and talk it over with Mrs.

Into line parlor ve went accordingly and
found Mrs. Grant , a rather small , thin , but
clear vlsaged , ss ell preserved old lady ,
knitting stockings while also was entertaining
a neighboring lady , who , judging from her
calico dress , did not belong to rho aristocratic -
cratic world , In replying to my Inquiry
about her knitting , Mrs. Grant remarked
that she could not live witinout work , She
at once entered Into lively conversation and
invltod me to look at the various family
pictures on the wall. One was a photograph
of her deceased son and anofimer of her
daughter. There was a handsome painting
of Itev , Mr. Cramer , the Dankh minister ,
who appeared to be a flue looking young
man. Then cane a 1)1010 photograph of time
general and a largo oil painting of Father
Jesse in oils younger days. There wore
also portraits of George and Martha Washington -
ington and a beautiful picture which I was
told had boon executed by Mrs. Cramer , the
ulster of time president. The parlor was
commodious , but by no means extravagantly
furnished , in fact , there is hardly a re.
apoctahle mechanic in Omaha that lies plainer
and moro unpretentious furniture , Father
J0030 opened the political conversation by
remarking that a few days ago a cousin of
the president bad visited theta mud had
actually declared that it time democrats did
not make a atraight nomination Ito would
vote for Greeloy , 'Wolf said Mrs. Grant ,
"but he is no democrat , and you cannot ox-

all the donmocratu will support Greoloy. "
She said a few days ago she had talked with
a politician naumnl Turner , who lives al Cln

that tbo general Is sure of ro oleclion , Turning -

"Madam , " I replied , "the general has my

the liberty of criticisung his administration ,

"Yes , " retorted Mr. , Grant , "and I don't

"they tell mo generally that ho bas given

I replied that ! n our part of the country

Ten young ladles belonging to the best
fanmilfes of time town of Dadon , Beaver county ,
Pa , , about twmlty milts from Pittsburg , have
organized a boycott against the young mcn

they call the "Trilby club , " have vowed
"never to marry moon , and won't even go

The cause of thin strange action on tbo
part of the ten girls is a grievance they Inavo
nursed. It seems that the boys of the town
