nor.This list is so liberally inchuaive that it
shows the conferencp to be a worhd within
Itolf , capable 'of self-support for an almost
indefinite hengthi oftlme. and such a thought ,
while tito seemingly Interminable wrangle
over woman drags It weary course , Is not
without Its comfort. The fact that tluero
are only ts'r deleg'ates whose occupation is
givcn as "retIred" may account for the Irrepressible -
pressiblo activity of time brethren in trying
to et the floor. It also suggests two tine
atrokes ut conference humor' ' . President
HarrIs of Maine introduced his speech by
saying that It any hind looked to the ganeral
conferonc as a place "where the wicked
.ccaso fronu troubling ami , time weary are at
rest. " they had better go home. This was
during tie great woman debate , when on
the expiration of each ten-minute address
tile chairman's gavel , as It fell , seemed to
bring to their feet , ab3ut a third of time
members , whioso rIval yells for recognition
from the chair would put to almamo the
competing hack drivers at a western railway -
way terminus' . Time oilier touch of humor
at which the conference roared was when
another speoker saltS as lie began , "God made
tile world and rested. then ho made man
and rested , and soon after he made woman ,
since which time neither God nor man has
rested , " At last , however , a brief rest has
come lii the four days debate on tlis que' .
tion , for as I write the ( juestlon itself has
followed the action of the four elect women ;
that is , It has gone cut front the body , to
meturn , It Is hoped , only when it has been
satIsfactorily revised and repaIred. For time
smallest favors let us be thankful ,
Th1F BISIIOI'S.

A NOBLE ROUI
hut venerable and noble mtn they are , as
oven those muet admit who have tried , vainly
fifty times slnc the conferen'b began to secure -
cure at their hands the privilege of the
floor. Bishop Bowman ranks as senior. Ho
could posa easily as a model for our great
American statue of John Wesley , beng of
short , trail build , and' very benlgmnt , intellectual -
tellectual features. Bishop Fonter , on the
contrary , Is large and solid ; as thorough
ani strong in his venerable manhood as are
the weighty volumes he is still turning out
on systematic tlteoiogy Bishop MerrIll i
the great church jurist , and has a cart of
head not uniLko that of 'Ohio's candidate for
time presidency. lIe Is aubstam'tiaI , looking ,
and carries himself with a gravity which
smacks of wisdom. Bishop Andrews is
the suave , polished gentleman , affable and
unctuo'ua , Bishop Warren is a masterly
rhetrlciun and has a maimer in time chair
whmich savors of the broezuieas of lila Rocky
mountain home. Bishop Foss admirably
perpetuates in Philadelphia the gentle sptrit
of his lredecessor , Bishop Simpsci't , aai
though ho lacka the movIng eloquence of the
latter , he is quite his equal In a genius for
admInistration.
13 shop Iluret is stately and dignified , as
we imtiht naturally expect In one whose
reaidence is at time capital of time nation. If
ills face were turned upside down the
pIntcd chin beard would form time apex of
a very symmetrical pyramid , and jf the
great American unlversity he ir building
shall rest upon as gcod a foundation ac that
pyram'd , anti have an apex as perfectly
trlnumemi , It viil be a great monument Indeed -
deed , Bishop Nindo is the taint of the board.
Ito has one of the mildest of ( aces , yet
there Is no trace of weakness in it-a so-
raplmic man , Sonmewimat abstracted in look ,
as a saint m gut veii be , but aiways ready
for htisinesa and a model preacher ,
Wlmile Bishop Foss succeeds to time real-
( lenco and to a measure of the gentleness
of' ' Smpson ! , the personal appearance of
that great bishop is increasingly reflected
as the years pass in Bishop Walden. who ,
by ho way , is fulfilling time prediction of
Uhmilmop'liey , that lie would prove to be
one of time most practical and useful men
On time b'ard , Ilialmop Mallal eu represents
admirably time stalwart principles of New
Imigiand. lie 'sas time first ever elected to
the Eplu'opacy withm an unshaven upper ip ! ,
antI until that thee it was an article of
Methodist faith that a moustache was a oort
of bar over wlmichm it would be impossible
for any man to leap into tlmis hmgb otiloe ,
But jilahop Mallalicu went In , bar and all ,
and m'lnco then two others have done time
same.

little obstruction from any hirsute adorn.

gray matter on the Inside. for it is common
to peak of him as the ira'nie'st ) mmmcc on time

forward brothmerhlnos 1mu administration , and
fervor In sacred adtlress , itich mark him
as a stalwart mimaim ttmrouglmout. Bishop \'in-

The two missionary bishops are a little
lower in dignity , sono timimutu ; certainly they
are more restricted in their powers than
the others. Slut they re in time msaion
work by the predetermivition of great mis-
slonary adaptability and achievement.
Bishop Taylor , a rugged old , hero , who seenms
to tight the fever of equatorial ungies no
less successfully titan time forces of time
\\'lcked One , has served twelve years as
bishop of Africa , and Bishop -Thmoburn , an
indomitable , statesmanlike , character , less
rugged than Taylor , but emIally time niari for
imis place and hour. has jed time forces these
eght years Ia India. That country asks
now for still another bihp , and missionary
bishops are also demanded in China and
Europe. It W not unlIkely that timeso de-
mantis , or a part of them , vill be acceded to.
Very lhely. also , timere wlll be ) four bishops
