AN OVATION TO M'KINLEY THE METHODIST CONFERENCE M TH03IASTICAHT CHEERS HIM, BALLOTING FOR BISHOPS. Committee of the Stnto of tho Church Recommend Some Iturilciil Change Another Moiuuro Hrotight Up Cutciitnteil to I.cMen tho Authority of Ulshop Conference) Work. Cleveland, Ohio, May 18. When the Methodist Episcopal general con ference was called to order the third ballot for bishop was announced to the great nudioncc. It showed that 510 votes bad been cast. The follow ing six -candidates lead: C. a Mc Cabo, 22; Earl Cranston, 191; J.MV. E. Bowcn, 105; H. A. Huttz, lfi-J; J. W. Hamilton, 139; E. II. Neoly, 42. A lourth ballot was ordered.

There are two bishops to be elected and the 012 votes which were cast on 'the fourth ballot Indicate the vote for one bishop only and In reality represent 1,024 votes. Tho apparent discrepancy of only 5:J votes being announced caused some confusion when In the report of the ballot It was shown that over l,u00 ballots hud actually been cast. This explanation was inudo by a delegate to tlio satis faction of the conference. While the filth ballot was being counted, the death of J. V. Rued was announced, uud a committee on reso lutions appointed. Tho Rev. Mr. Willium Murtludalc of Kansas pre sented a memorial requesting congress to prohibit the licensing of tlio sale of liquor in states where prohibition was in effect. It was adopted uud ordered sent. Tho proceedings were interrupted by great applause next door, and soon Major Willium .McKiuley appeared on the platform. Bishop Joyce presented him and the air was white with hund kcrchiufs. Three times the upplauso died away and three times it was re newed. It was the greatest ovation of the conference. Dr. Kynett wauted to take a recess at once, but tho mo tion was defeated and the business was continued, but the regular recess was made fifteen minutes instead of ten, and nearly every delegate in the house took advantage of tho oppor tunity to greet Governor McKinle.y. After recess the chair announced the fifth ballot. It resulted in no choice, but revealed some remarkable surprises Tho vote on the six leading candidates was as follows: H. A. Buttz, 200, Earl Cranston 245, C. C McCabc 2.J0, J. W. Hamilton 137, J. W. E Bowcn 75, T. B. Neeley 21. An other ballot' was ordered. At the meeting of the state of the church committee a report on socio logical work written by Rev. Dr. Will iam Quayle of Kansas City was pre sented. It was long and a wide de parture from the usual formal report and called for some decided criticism. It was defended by Mr. Quayle, but nfter a long discussion was returne'd to the subcommittee, for revision. The committee took up the question that the term of probation be shortened, but decided in favor of retaining the present term of six months. A sub committee was instructed to prepare a ritual form to bo used in the admission of probationers to full membership. The committee on itineracy consid ered another measure calculated to lessen the authority of the bishops. It was that the consent of the cabinet of presiding elders should be secured before a bishop could transfer a min ister from one conference to another. The committee declined to recommend the change.

Ballcw, of Stuart, la., has been allowed u patent for a campaign badge in the form of a bee adapted to bo readily fastened to the lappel of a coat On tjic wines are fixed the portraits of candidates in such a manner that they nre concealed when tho wings aro folded, but by pressing a detent the wingo nro expanded and the portraits and sen timents of tho wearer flashed upon observers. To bo the author of a machine that will give aid, comfort and delight to the present and coming generations may be a nobler triumph than to win a presidential race. It is a hope, too, that many may realize. The ambition of the humble, mechanic that looks for honor nnd famo by seek ing to give the world a benefaction in the shape of an invention, is far abovo the "infatuation" which ruins "pres idential candidates." Tho names of American inventors and public ben efactors will bo revered when tho numes of some of our presidents and would-be presidents will bo for gotten, or only remembered with indifference, regret or con tempt.
