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. It
showed that Cl2 votes wero cast and
no cholcu made, 342 votes being neces
sary to a choice. Tho lenders were:
McCabo, 213; Butts, 2.13; Cranston,
2H; Hamilton, 1 41; Bowen, 10?.
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.

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

American inventors and public ben

would-be presidents will bo for
gotten, or only remembered
with indifference, regret or con
tempt. Valuable information about
obtaining, valuing nnd selling patents

John A. Sence Speaks to a Reporter or
6tlrrlng Scenes Kucspeil With a Sllettt
Wound, Hut, JAko Other Veterans, Has
Suffered Since A Story that Heads LLko.
n I'ngc from History.
From the Albany (N. T. Journal.
John n. Scace, the widely known,
contractor and building; mover Of Al
bany, N. Y., has had nn unusually in
teresting life, and when seen by a re
porter recently at his homo, No. 15
Bradford street, told of his many ex
periences nnd adventures while serv
ing under the old flag In the lato
war. Although having endured all tho
hardships and privations of life in tho
ranks, Mr. Scace bears his moro than
half a century of years with an elastic
Btep and a keen mind, taking an actlvo
interest In private and public affairs.
Mr. Scace Is a member of Berkshire
Lodge, No. B2, I. O. O. F. Ho enlisted
in the army in 18C2, in Company A,
I'orty-ninth Massachusetts Volunteer
infantry, serving under Col. W. F.
Bartlett. First Brigade. First Division,
Nineteenth Corps, with which he par
ticipated in some of the hottest bnttles
of the war. Including Port Hudson,
Donaldsonvllle and Plain Store, where
he was wounded. His time belrts out, ho
was discharged, but soon re-enllsted nn
sergeant In Company A.- Sixty-first
Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer In
fantry. He won In the battle or Hatch
ers Run, the fight about Petersburg,
and the battle of Sailor's Creek.
. 'e.r ,,,,s bonorable discharge, Juno
4, 1S65, Mr. Scace returned to Albany
ana spttled down once again to his
business and social Interests. He has-
resiueu 111 tlio city ever since. It would
oeem that now, of nil times, hio peace
and happlnesB would have been unin
terrupted. Such was not to be tlie case,
Tor four years ago, while engaged in
superintending the raising or an im
mense Bmokestnck of the Albany Klec
tric power-house, the lover of a
loosened wlndlnps struck him a heavy
blow across the back. The effect of
the blow was not at first apparent,
he being able to leave his bed in a few
days. But the worst was to follow,
for without warning he was seized
with eelatic rheumatism In all its viru
lence. Untold agony folknvod.
Said Mr. Scace: "I could not sleep'
for the pain. No one will know tho
tortures tho rheumatism gave me. I
don't know how 1 llve'd during those
days. 1 became little more than skin
and bones, and It seemed like lire
didn't have anything but suffering Iw
it. Cures? I tried every so-called rheu
matic cure that was ever invented. I
gave all of them a good trial before
I stopped taking them. My friends!
and neighbors recommended remedy
after remedy that they heard of, but
my rheumatism went on Just the same.
Well, after I had almost had the ltfo
tortured out or mc, I came across a
newspaper account or Dr, WilLlams'
Pink Pills, and I thought I might As
well add another name to the list as
not, so I ordered some or my druggist.
"I tell you, I was glad in those days-,
to hear or anything that could give me
any hope nt all. Yes, 1 got them, and'
befere I had taken two boxes that palm
began to leave me. Why, I couldn't
understand It. I couldn't imagine my
self being cured. But before I had'
taken n huir-dozen or those boxen I
was cured- The suffering which had'
made my lire nlmost unbearable ror so
long had disappeared. I was a new
man.
"I began to get strong. I picked up
In flesh, and I went back to my busi
ness with nil the vigor and vim of a
young man. I think everyone who
knows me will tell you what it did for
me. Pink Pills is the grandest medi
cine ever discovered, and if my recom
mendation will do it any good I want
you to use it. I hope othern will henr
of it and be benefited as I have been.
Everyone should hear of it. I can't say
too much for them," Mr. Scace ex
claimed, enthusiastically, in conclu
sion. Mr. Scace is now enjoying the fruits
of an unusually large business, man
aged solely by himself, and covering
almost the entire eastern portion of tho
State. Mr. Seace Is also an Ivory
carver of marked ability, which he fol
lows solely for his own pleasure. Many
little trinkets, carved by the light of
the camp-fire, attest his skill In this
direction.

The rose turban is a brilliant sample
of the amount of color and style that
can be crowded into one conscientious
millinery effort. It is made up of doz
ens of crush roses, shading from the
delicate pink of the La France to the
deep, velvety curraiso of tho Black
J rince rose; leaves in various shades of
spring greens are used liberally, and
thorned stems stand tall and straight
in company with th black aigrette.
Ihe violet and miirnonetto turbans are
