MORE
Methodists Now Have
Only One to Choose.
VOTE IS BEING CANVASSED
Choice Lies Between Dr. Day
and Dr. Cook.
DR. NEELEY IS ELEVATED
Other Minister to Be Honored Is Dr.
Wilson, Who Is the Youngest
Yet Chosen and the Only
Presiding Elder.
LOS ANGELES. May 20. When the
General Methodist Conference adjourned
nt 6 o'clock this evening, seven of the
eight bishops to be elected had been
chosen, and the eleventh ballot taken Just
before adjournment, probably has resulted
In the election of the eighth. The list
of bishops thus far chosen is as follows:
Joseph F. Berry, of Chicago; Henry F.
Spellmejer, of Newark, N. J.; William E.
McDowell, of New York; James W. Bash
ford, of Delaware, Ohio; William Burt,
or Rome, Italy; Luther B. Wilson, of
Baltimore, and Thomas B. Neely, of Phila
delphia. William Burt was elected on" the fifth
ballot taken last night, the result of
which was announced this morning. Dr.
Wilson was chosen on the sixth ballot,
which was announced before the recess
today. The seventh and eighth ballots
resulted In no election, but on the ninth
Dr. Necly was elected by 4S6 votes out of
the 700 cast, 467 being necessary to a
choice. The tenth ballot was taken just
before adjournment this evening and re
sulted In no election. Dr. J. R. Day re
ceived the highest number of ballots, 311
out of a total of 70G cast, 471 being neces
sary to a choice. This showed Day a
loss of S3 votes, ho having polled 350 in
the ninth. The election of the eighth
bishop Is now thought to lie between Dr.
Day and Dr. R. J. Cook, of Chattanooga,
with the chances favoring the latter.
Colored Candidate Withdraws.
Dr. J. W. E. Bow en, the colored can
didate for Episcopal honors, twice an
nounced today his -Rlthdrawal from the
race, and on the tenth ballot his strength
had dropped to CO votes.
The episcopacy committee recommended
In its special report to the conference this
morning the eloctlon of four missionary
bishops as follows: One additional for
Africa; two additional for South Asia; and
one for Japan and Corea, the latter a
now episcopal district. The election of
these four officers tilll be begun imme
diately aftor the election of the eight
general superintendents.
Tho Itinerancy committee made Its 're
port late tills afternoon on the proposal
to restore the four-year time limit for
pastorates. A majority and a minority
report was submitted. The former op
posed tho change, and a brisk and de
termined effort was made to force it
throhgh to adoption without debate. Those
favoring the minority report succeeded in
staving on the oto on the majority re
port, after the majority leaders had ac
complished the tabling of the minority
report, which recommended the restora
tion of the time limit.
Heresy Charges Not Sustained.
The disturbing charges of heresy that
have agitated certain circles in the con
ference since its opening have been
finally disposed of in tho committee on
education. A subcommittee having in
charge the consideration of the memo
rials and other evidence on this subject
reported back to the main committee Its
recommendation, which, after some dis
cussion, has been adopted. The report,
which finds that the charges of heresy
have not been sustained, says in part:
"Wo aro persuaded that there Is no
sufficient foundation for the allegations
that certain of our theological schools
are disloyal to the doctrinal standards of
tho church. None of the memorials re
ceived contain any specific charges, and
there have come to the committee satis
factory statements as to the doctrinal
soundness of the teachings in one of
these Institutions in the reports of nu
merous Isltors appointed oy the annual
conferences."
The report then counsels tho board of
bishops to exercise great care In the con
firmation of the professors of the theolog
ical schools of the church to the end that
none but those who are thoroughly In ac
cord with the doctrinal standards be
chosen. After providing a plan for ln-
estimation into any charge of heresy
that may be brought In the future the re
port concludes.
"We admonish all Instructors In our
schools to studiously avoid, so fax as pos
sible, all occasion of misunderstanding of
their doctrinal attitude, both in their oral
teachings and Jn their publications, and
that thej counsel their pupils to carefully
avoid statements which would disturb the
faith of thoso to whom they minister."

of tne Methodist, Protestant, Congrega

of great Importance to be considered by the
12th Quadrlennlal conference of the Meth

here today. The report of the board of
foreign missions shows that the princi
pal foreign work by the denomination is
in Japan. The report says:
"The opinion held by some that Japan
has become a Christian nation Is far
from correct. Idolatry, superstition and
atheism, greatly prevail."

THTEIMAH OK A STRIKE.
Pitcher Refuses to Work Until Prom
ised Increase In Salary Arrives.
Jake Thlelman won out in his financial
battle with Ben Ely. It almost broke
the amateur mogul's heart to come
through with Thlelman's demands, but ha
did and the German U appear on the
firing line for Dugdale this afternoon.
Just how much money was Involved In the
case Is not known, but Ben Ely, In keep
ing with his established policy of cling
ing to pennies while dollars are rambling
towards no-good land, tries to bluff
Thlelman out of what was his.
The whole trouble dates back to the
original contract which Jako signed last
Fall. At that time Thlelman signed with
Fred Ely for so much money. "When
Jake struck St. Louis he was offered a
chance to play with the St. Louis National
League. This, It seems, is what Jake
has been looking forward to. He-"ls
naturally fond of writing his name, and
when a St Louis contract was placed'
under his nose he attached his "John
Hancock" to it. His heart twitched after
It was all over and he hiked to a tele
graph office and wired Fred Ely, telling
him that he had signed with St. Louis,
and that for a consideration of something
like $200 more added to his contract Jake
said he would bo willing to return to
Portland. Fred Ely was afraid of losing
the clever twirler, and only half believ
ing that the Coast League would be taken
Into the fold of organized baseball, in a
moment of weakness telegraphed Thlel
man, stating that he would see St. Louis'
"raise." This suited Jake and he re
turned. Shortly after he came back the
Pacific Coast League joined Organized
baseball, and Thlelman, together with the
rest of the players, was awarded, to Port
land. Now here is where Ben Ely's keen
financial mind began to rotate. He
thought that as long as Jake Tas award
ed to Portland that If would .not be neces
sary to come through with Jake's increase
of salary. Ben tried to hand Jake the
hot end of the deal, but the Dutchman
balked and kicked up a merry rumpus.
After a whole lot of wrangling the Elys
promised to give Jake the money, pro
vided ho doubled pitched his regular
turn and also played the outfield. Jake
was willing, but the Elys made no shift
in the out garden. Pay day rolled
around and Thlelman looked at his check
and there wa6 no increase. He gave Sen
Ely until this morning to make good,
and Ben Ely conveniently forgot all about
the Dutchman,
Jake's memory .was good, and when the
bell rang he was not on deck. Dugdale
was worried, but he kept his temper,
f knowing, that whatever was the trouble
that he (Dugdale) was not to bktme, and
fie made the best of the disagreeable mix
up. In the evening Dugdale, Ely and
Thlelman got together. Jake showed his
telegram, stood to his guns like a fight
ing German should .and finally came
away winner. Ben Ely will have to pay
him the money that bis contract calls
for.
"While Thlelman was right in the de
mands he made on Ben Ely, he was dead
wrong in throwing Dugdale down with
out sending him word. Jake is a popu
lar pitcher, and a good one, but another
bad case of Judgment like he displayed
yesterday wlIL cause him to lose caste.
The thing has -been fixed up, but Thlel
man would better take this tip set out
and from now on play bajl.

FLYING MACHINES.
Their Great Value In Warfare.
FROM, time immemorial the notion
of flying through the air has
offered, a most fascinating field for
the imagination of men. Many
thousands of dollars have been spent
in fruitless experiments, new problems
appearing promptly as soon as one is
solved. Had practical air-ships been in
existence at the time of the Spaalsb. war,
the location of Cerrera's fleet would
have been an easy matter, and, the pres
ent conflict between Japan and Russia
could be materially inftueactd by the
facilities which aerial navigation would
offer in spying out the strength and lo
cation of fortresses and defenses. Many
costly experiments have been made, with
models and full-sized machines, but suc
cess has thus far eluded all efforts.
There are many problems to be over
come, the force of gravity, the strong
atmospheric currents, the question of
steering and control, and these must be
solved one at a time. A few years ago it
was thought that if a motor could be con
structed which would give a full horse
power to a certain carefully estimated
limit of weight, that the rest would be
easy, but engines have been built well
within this limit, and new difficulties
haye promptly arisen, notably the con
struction of a light frame strong enough
to stand the strain of these powerful en
gines. Balloons are not practical as they
offer too great a surface to the wind for
the engines to overcome successfully. It
is quite likely that if the mechanical
problem were solved that flying would
not be possible for mankind, owing to the
peculiar conditions met with which af
fect human beings when they leave the
earth's surface, the higher levels of the
atmosphere being very, cold, as well as
of a lower pressure. One of the pecu
liar effects of altitude is to cause the
blood to become thicker, there being
more of the little corpuscles in a drop of
blood than at the earth's level. One of
the first signs of weakness in the body
is that the blood becomes thin, giving
the patient the peculiar pallor which
sick persons have who are suffering from
chronic disease. In some anjemic con
ditions, notably in young girls, the blood
not only becomes thin and weak, but the
individual cells lose their shape and
-offle degenerated, appearing uneven
which was .greatly softened by recent
rains.

or any narcotic. For nearly forty yean
this medicine has been on the market,
and no greater proofs of its efficacy aad
popularity could be found than its in
creasing sale, year after veer. It has
seen the rise and fall of aiany other
popular remedies, but to-day stands
supreme in a proud position won by
merit alone. In order to make the bene
fits of his remedies to humanity' as great
and widespread as possible, Dr. Pierce
offers free consultation and advice on
medical subjects' to all his patients.
Sufferers can write him freely, in th
confident assurance that all communica
tions will be given careful attention and
be regarded as sacredly confidential.
As an example of the good results
thus obtained,, note the following letter :
"In the year 1S99, 1 had an attack of
indigestion and got so bad that my home
doctor said he could not do me any
good,' writes Mr. G. Trent, of Gordon
ville, Texas. ttI wrote to you and you
advised me to use Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, so I bought six bot
tles, and when I commenced using it I
was so weak could -hardly walk about
the house. By the time I had used one
bottle my stomach and bowels com
menced to heal. There were strips of
the lining of my stomach or bowels (1
don't know which) as large as a man'a
two fingers passed and I hafj a great deal
of misery in my stomach and bowels, and
also in the rectum especially. I could not
eat anything without having much dis
tress afterward, but by the time I had tak
en eight bottles of the Golden JMedical '
Discovery' I was sound and well, and
could eat anvthing I pleased without
suffering in the least. Could also do as
much work in a day as I ever could. I
