THE METHODIST (ONTERENCE.
The recurrence of the annual ses-
Ision at the South Georgia Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
I South is a matter of close and direct
concern to tens of thousands of per
sons, In all parts of the state. So
great are the interests of the Metho
| dist church in Georgia that, for the
; better handling of the church business,
it has been deemed advisable to divide
the state into two conferences; yet the
division is geographical only, and for
the expediting of the work. In senti
ment and high purpose, the church
throughout the state is one, and the
membership in each section follows
with pride and pleasure the story of
the growth and widening influence of
the organization in other sections.
The excellent system which the Meth
odists have of supplying the pulpits of
their churches tends to highten the in
terest with which the proceedings of
each conference is regarded. “Who
will toe our minister next year?” is a
question that every Methodist church
member desires to have answered at
the earliest possible moment, hence
the conference proceedings are followed
closely day after day until the an
nouncements are finally made public,
for a possible inkling of who the new
pastor will be, as well as to ascer
tain if the retiring pastor, usually well
grounded in the affections of his peo
ple, said or did anything during the
meeting that attracted especial atten
tion to himself or his charge. The
Methodist system of rotation in pul
pits is essentially democratic and
therefore wise. Under it the congre
gation doesn't have to retain for an
indefinite period a pastor with whom
it is not pleased, nor does a disap
pointed pastor have to await a call
from another charge before he can
lay down a pastorate that is disagree
able to him. The Methodist system
saves many a heart-ache, in addition
to which it distributes both the talents
of its preachers and the desirable pas
torates among its congregations in a
manner remarkable for its equity.
Methodism, originating with the
Wesleys and founded by them in Geor
gia, has ever been close to the hearts
of the Georgia people. That it is an
attractive and satisfying theology is
evidenced by the great and powerful
church organization that it has (buiit
up. And the church was probably
never in a better, more promising con
dition, than that in which it finds it
self at the opening of the current an
nual conference. Its growth since the
conference of a year ago has been
healthful and vigorous, and its work
ers are filled with enthusiasm.
SOLID PBWSU ASIA.
Immediately after the presidential
election the Philadelphia Ledger had
a good deal to say about the "solid
South” and the “aloofness of the
South.” It was not at all pleased with
the fact that Mr. Roosevelt got no
electoral votes In the cotton states. It
assumed that the entire vote of. the
South was cast for the Democratic
ticket—that there was no division of
sentiment.
On Sunday, the consolidated vote of
Pennsylvania having been made pub
lic, the Ledger printed an editorial
commending the Republicans of that
state for the large majority which they
gave Mr. Roosevelt. The title of the
article was "Solid Pennsylvania.”
But why didn’t the Ledger speak of
the aloofness of Pennsylvania? If it
is a good thing for Pennsylvania to
be solid politically Why isn’t It a
good thing for Georgia or Virginia
or any other Southern state to be solid
politically? Why does the Ledger
think It a good thing for Pennsylvania
to be solid politically and a bad thing
for Georgia to be solid?
But, as a matter of fact, was there
not a greater division of sentiment in
either Georgia or Virginia in the re
cent election than there was In Penn
sylvania? The total vote cast In the
latter state was 1,236,73*, of which the
Republican ticket received about two
thirds.
Here tn Georgia the total vote was
about 131,000, of which the Democratic
ticket received 83,000, not quite two
thirds. In Virginia the Democratic
ticket didn’t receive two-thirds of the
votes cast.
The vote of Georgia and Virginia is
taken to make a comparison with the
vote of Pennsylvania because we have
seen no statement of the total vote of
any other Southern state. Judging
from this comparison there was a
greater division of sentiment in the
foregoing Southern states than there
was In Pennsylvania. What reason,
therefore, has the Philadelphia Ledger
for criticising the South for being solid
or for her aloofness? And, after all,
the result of the election was a solid
North against a solid South.
In one respect the North is far
ahead of the South, namely. In her
Socialistic vote. In Pennsylvania there
were cast for Debs, the Socialistic can
didate for President, 21,683 votes. For
the same candidate there were cast in
Georgia 197 and In Virginia 66 votes.
Socialism is making rapid headway In
the North, but It hasn’t got a foothold
In the South, and it is doubtful If it
ever will. The time may not be fat
in the future when the North will de
pend upon the South to save the coun
try from the Socialistic forces that are
organising there now. The South is
the American and conservative section
of the country, and as such will be
called upon eventually to conduct the
republic along the lines marked out
by Its founders.
A serious drought Is reported
throughout all of the Eastern Middle
states, from Pennsylvania to Ken
tucky. Live atock la already suffering
for water. Should cold weather come
on before there has been a sufficient
fall of rain to make up the shortage
In moisture, aerious consequences
might result. In some sections the
railroads are finding difficulty in se
curing enough water to keep their lo
comotives running.

SAVA WAIT MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 30. 1904.
ANOTHER HIMBURT AFFAIR!
Is there another Humbert affair con
j cealed in the suit which Herbert D.
• Newton of Brookline. Mass., has
brought against Mrs. Cassie Chadwick
J of Cleveland. 0.. for $1*0.800? The suit
has some mysterious features. And it
seems it is not the only suit of the kind
which has been brought against the
woman. There are others, making the
total amount for which she is being
sued $267,800.
Mrs. Chadwick is the wife of Dr.
Chadwick, a well known physician of
Cleveland. She is about fifty years
of age, there being but little difference
between her age and that of her hus
band. Mr. Newton, the chief plain
tiff, is represented as being a clear
beaded business man. The wonder is,
therefore, how he was induced to lend
the woman such a large amount of
money without security. Besides, she
seems to have been a stranger to him
when she first applied to him for a
loan.
She represented that she had a pro
missory note for $500,000, and securi
ties to the amount of $5,000,000 on de
posit with a Cleveland trust company,
and she showed a certificate from one
of the officers of the company to that
effect, though the certificate was not
signed by the officer in his official ca
pacity. Her excuse for not using her
stocks and bonds as security for money
she wanted, was that they were tem
porarily tied up in litigation.
It seems remarkable that a business
man should have accepted an excuse
of that kind without thorough inves
tigation. Mr. Newton did inquire as
to whether the signature of the official
of the trust company was genuine and
discovered it was. He seemed to have
no hesitation then in letting the wom
an have what money she wanted.
After awhile he tried to get his money
and found he couldn’t. The note* the
woman gave couldn't be sold, because
nobody wanted them under the cir
cumstances and the checks her hus
band gave were turned down by the
bank on which they were drawn. Na
turally about that time Mr. Newton
became very much alarmed at the
prospect of losing his money. He had
several conferences with Mrs. Chad
wick and she assured him that he
would get his money in good time—
that she intended to pay him. But she
didn’t pay, and so he sought to find
out what the value of the securities
deposited with the trust company was,
but Mrs. Chadwick wouldn’t let him
see them.
Then came the dreadful suspicion that
the securities had no value, If, In fact,
there were any securities. It was on
this state of facts that he began his
suit, and now everybody that knows
of the case is wondering if the wom
an really has $5,000,000 worth of se
curities, or if she has any securities
whatever.
It wouldn’t be surprising if it should
turn out that the alleged securities
haven’t quite the value Mrs. Chad
wick placed upon them. Should that
be the case there would be a sensa
tion almost as great as that which
Madame Humbert created by getting
about $10,000,000 from London and Paris
bankers on certain alleged securities,
which she said she had locked in a
safe, and which a notary certified she
had.
An effort is being made to identify
Mrs. Chadwick as a woman who, some
years ago, was noted for her hypnotic
powers, and who had quite a career
in,the courts in the Middle West. Her
case is beginning to attract wide at
tention.
SEW PHASE OF TIIK SMOOT CASE.
There is going to be a good deal of
talk about the political power of the
Mormon Church in the newspapers
this winter. The hearings in the
Smoot case will he resumed as soon as
Congress assembles, and it is the un
derstanding that particular attention
will be given to the efforts the Mor
mon Church is making to get political
power. _ '
During the recess of Congress those
who are back of the effort to keep Mr.
Smoot out of the Senate have been
gathering testimony as to the purposes
of the Mormon Church in this direc
tion, and it is said that there will be
revelations made that will be start
ling.
The Mormons claim that they are
not Inimical In any manner to the in
stitutions of the country, but It Is evi
dent that there is a great deal of
doubt of their sincerity In this respect.
The Mormon Church Is a great power
in politics in Utah. Idaho and one or
two other of the Far Western states.
That the Mormon leaders are striving
to Increase the political influence of
their church there isn’t any doubt.
Having this idea firmly fixed in their
minds the men and women who are the
prosecutors in the Smoot case will
strive to bring matters before the in
vestigating committee that will set the
whole country talking about the Mor
mons and the menace they are to the
institutions of this country.
The Philadelphia Press says that the
army-navy football game, played In
that city on Thanksgiving Day,
brought to the trades people and hotel
keepers a neat little extra income
amounting to not less than $201,000.
This is exclusive of railroad fares, and
gate receipts at the game, both of
which amounted to round sums. The
Press figures it this way; Meals, sllO,-
000; incidentals (another way of say
ing "drinks”), $40,000; lodgings. $36.-
000; flags and ribbons (in which prob
ably may be counted a few more
drinks, like ice cream soda), $5,000;
theaters. $4,500; cabs, $4,000; trolley
fares. $2,000. There is no Intellectual
entertainment that can be Imagined
that would have brought so much ex
tra money into any city.
For years the woman suffrage ad
vocates have been assuring us that the
granting of full polltioal privileges to
women would elevate party politics
and tend to purify the ballot. Rut
has that sort of thing happened In
Colorado, where women are vested
with the elective franchise? Our dis
patches of yesterday contained ac
counts of women arrested in Denver
and of ruses to he made against them
for corruption and bribery in connec
tion with the recent election
An incident illustrating the peculiar
ethics of the gambling fraternity was
the shooting and killing in New York
the other day of a gambler of the
name of Roche. Another gambler of
the name of Felton is suspected of the
crime. On his dying bed Roche re
fused to aid the law in avenging him.
“If I die," he said, “it will be all right;
if I live I will settle the matter my
self.” At another time he declared,
“Yes, Frank shot me, but he was jus
tified. for if he hadn't killed me I
would have killed him.” Such are the
amenities of homicide among gamblers.
The gambler, living perpetually in
fear of the law. doesn't like to have
the law Interfere in his quarrels and
fights. Living by his wits, he pre
fers all of his affairs to remain in his
own hands. He is willing to take
chances on everything that comes
along, hoping to get out on the general
average if he cannot accomplish It by
a shrewd trick. This may be termed
a reversion to primitive and savage
nature. But it is the gambler's na
ture.
A dispatch from Duluth, Minn., says
that an agent of Booker T. Washing
ton has made arrangements for the
purchase of a large tract of land in
Beltrami county, that state, for the
purpose of establishing thereon a col
ony of Southern negroes. Some of
the proposed colonists, it is reported,
have already arrived at the place. It
would be Interesting to know if the
promoters told the colonists that Min
nesota is a very cold state, in which
winter lasts for about as much as six
months, with snow on the ground most
of the time. The average negro has
about as much horror of cold and ice
as he has of the proverbial lake of fire
and brimstone. And there is good rea
son for it. Statistics show that in cold
climates the black man is particularly
susceptible to lung diseases.
A professor of the Illinois State
Normal School wishes to have James
Whitcomb Riley's poems barred from
the school library because “they are
not written in classic English.” He
objects to the dialect and the “ple
bian dress” of the poems. Cannot the
professor realize that far more people
speak in dialect than in classic lan
guage, that the immense majority are
in "plebian dress,” and that to get
near the great and warm hearts of
these people it is necessary to adopt
their dialect and “dress” for * pur
poses of study? This Illinois professor
cou*d not, to save his life, write in
clatoic language a poem of such 'warm
human interest as “Knee-deep in
June.”
PERSONAL,
—No fat cadet at West Point hhs
any chance of getting into the cavalry
service. Gen. Burton, the inspector,
says that excessive weight is "ruinous
to a horse, cumbersome to a rider and
■weakens the endurance of the indi
vidual.”
—Gen. William J. Palmer, the found
er of Colorado Springs, Col., besides
spending *750,000 In a park extending
the length of the city, is completing a
new equestrian and pedestrian trail to
Crystal Park, which will open up as
grand scenery as is to be had in the
Rocky mountains.
—According to Ysaye’s manager, the
celebrated violinist's name should be
pronounced as though it were spelled
Ee-sah-ee-ah. Here are some of the
common attempts heard: I-say, Ye
say. Why-say, Easy, Essay, Issay, Is-
Yay, Is-Hay, Is-say-ee, Isaiah, Why
say-oe, and numerous other two-sylla
bled and three-syllabled variations.
—A movement is under way in New
York to celebrate In a few weeks the
centenary of ihe birth of the famous
"Father Prout,*’ who wrote the "Beils
of abandon” and was one of the most
noted literary men of the group who
made "Frazer’s” memorable In the last
century. His grand nephew is Thomas

CtIIUKXT COMMENT.
The Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.)
says: "If the South Is no longer solid,
perhaps Folk and Cockrell of Missouri
will have to assume part of the re
sponsibility.”
The Birmingham Age-Herald (Dem.)
says: "President Roosevelt will find-
In this section no todylng to an Indi
vidual in power. He will find no bend
ing of the knee in prayer for special
favors, but he will find that the peo
ple of Alabama are full of patriotism
and are ever ready to welcome with
hearty salute the coming among them
of the Chief executive of a nation of
which they form a most important
part and to which they are ever
loyal."
The New Orleans Tlmee-Democra*
(Dem.) says: "No American, no mat
ter in what aectfon he dwells, could
ask Mr. Itoosavelt to do more than
live up to the spirit of his Bt. Louis
address In it he has said all that
oould reasonably be expected, and we
think the country Is prepared to take
him at his word. To be the President
of the whole people—that sums up the
duty of the rtilsf magistrate of this
nation, and It should ha the ambition
of etrh succeeding one to do so as
nearly as Ur* within Ms power. That
Mr. Roosevelt realises this as eissrly

Electioneering Long Ago.
Apropos of electioneering customs,
someone has extracted from William
Cowper’s letters a description of the
methods of an eighteenth century can
didate. “We were sitting yesterday at
dinner,* writes Cowper, “the two la
dies and myself, very composedly, and
without the least apprehension of any
such Intrusion, in our snug parlor, one
lady knitting, the other netting, and
the gentleman winding worsted. Sud
denly, to our unspeakable surprise, a
mob appeared before the window; a
smart tap was heard at the door, the
boys halloo'd and the maid announced
Mr. Grenville. Candidates are crea
tures not very susceptible of affront,
and would rather, I suppose, climb In
at the window than be absolutely ex
cluded. In a minute the yard, the
kitchen and the parlor were filled. Mr.
Grenville, advancing toward me, shook
me by the hand with a degree of cor
diality that was extremely seducing.
As soon as he and as many more as
could find chairs were seated, he began
to open the intent of his visit. I told
him I had no vote, for which he really
gave me credit. I assured him I had
no influence, which he was not equal
ly inclined to believe. * * * Thus
ended the conference. Mr. Grenville
squeezed my hand again, kissed the
ladies and withdrew. He kissed like
wise the maid in the kitchen, and
seemed upon the whole a most loving,
kissing, kind-hearted gentleman.”
A* Told By a Barber.
Barbering may not be a lordly occu
pation, but the barber has his trou
bles, says the New York Press. One
of the rich men of New' York, for ex
ample, may toe seen daily in a down
town shop, patronized by bankers
principally, sitting erect in the chair of
the boss, vigorously reading a news
paper through eye-glasses and strenu
ously puffing a black cigar. The bar
ber moans and groaus, but cannot de
cline to shake the individual, who gives
a 10-cent tip. “But it is something
frightful to shake that man,” he says.
"The slightest touch knocks off his
glasses, and he swears. Then I must
watch that cigar, lest I burn my hand,
And I must not interfere with his pa
per, for he declares he has no time
for reading except when in the chair.
He refuses to take off his collar, but
must he shaved low on the neck. I
wish he would stay away.”
This same barber used 'to go to a
residence in Fifth avenue, near Fifty
seventh street, to shave three times a
week a millionaire paretic who had to
toe lifted out of bed and placed In a
chair for the operation. The charge
for this attention is 50 cents. The man
never knew when he was being shaved.
The grave finally got him after, five
years of pitiless insanity. He had not
sense enough to commit suicide.
Rival Organizations.
The man who had been keeping his
seat in a crowded street car spoke at
last to the young woman who had
been eyeing him Intently for five min
utes or longer, says the Chicago Trib
une.
“I know I ought to get up and let
you have my seat, madam,” he said,
"but I’m pledged against that sort of
thing. I have just joined the “Sit
Still Club,' an organization we have
formed in our part of town, and if
I should violate the solemn obligation
I took when I became a member of
that body I should be expelled and held
up to the execration of ail the other
members.”
“That is all right, sir,” replied the
young woman/ “You mustn’t mind
my looking at you, I’m a member of
the ‘Stand and Stare Club.’ ”
After which she continued to stand
and stare at him.
Reflections of a BnoHelor.
From the New York Press.
The train that your relatives take to
visit you Is always on time.
Women would subtract even more
years from their age than they do ex
cept that it would make thqm infant.
It disgusts a bald-headed man be
yond expression to see the way some
people part their hair down the mid
dle.
When a woman’s husband has made
money In the stock market she keeps
it as secret as if she were a brass
band.
• It makes a girl awful nervous when
she thinks a man is proposing to her,
to find he is telling her of his engage
ment to another.
A Linguistic Tragedy.
From the New York Times.
A Korean maiden coy was she, whose
parents were passing rich;
A Russian of noble blood was he, with
a name that ended in ’’vitch."
Her matronymic he couldn’t pronounce,
so simply called her “Dear”—
She merrily tried to babble his name,
but found it “too awfully queer.”
Now every one knows that by Korean
law, which cannot be gainsaid,
The hubby takes his true wife’s name
the moment that they are wed;
So pity the lot of this wretched Russ
who couldn’t pronounce his name,
Nor envy the fate of the Korean maid
to whom he ascribed the blame.
To them In the course of time were
born twin offspring—a girl and
boy;
And then a terrible strife arose that
clouded the parents' Joy,
Ae to whether the "k's” or the “q’s”
or the "o’s” In the names should
predominate.
Or whether the “vttch's" or "ski’s” or
“off’s" should determine the chil
dren’s fate.
There might be two ends to this hor
rid tale, as you have probably
guessed;
I’ve tried them both, and I'm Jigger
ed quite If I know which is the
best
(Which Is an ungrammatical way to
say. if you stick to the very let
ter.
That ”I've tried them both, and I’m
Jiggered quite if I know which
is the better.")
And this Is the first: They solved the
puzzle by calling them “Bob”
and "Sue."
And lived their lives In connubial bliss
In the town of Tungwuan-pu.
And this is the other: The war broke
out and the Russ fell fighting his

WE ALL EAT TOO MI CH .
From the New York World.
As the result of his exhaustive ex
periments with a squad of United
States soldiers doing heavy gymna
sium work under restricted diet.
Prof. Chittenden of Yale, concludes
that most people eat too much.
The men were worked hard In gym
nasium and gained steadily and great
ly in strength while they were being
fed far less than the average diet.
They were called the “Starvation
Squad,” but their photographs taken
at the close of the experiment do not
look like those of starving men, rath
er like those of competent gymnasts.
Says Prof. Chittenden in his recently
published “Physiological Economy in
Nutrition” “Our results • * jus
tify the conviction that the minimal
proteid requirements of the healthy
man under ordinary conditions of life
are far below the generally accepted
dietary standards, and far below the
amounts called for by the acquired
tastes of the generality of mankind.
The amount of proteid or albuminous
food needed daily fer the actual phys
iological wants of the body is not more
than one-half of the proteid food ordi
narily consumed by the average man.
Body-weight (when once adjusted to
the new level), health, strength, men
tal and physical vigor and endurance
can be maintained with at least one
half of the proteid food ordinarily con
sumed.”
Proteids are the chemical elements
that most people get by a meat diet,
though beans, peas and some other
vegetables are also strong in proteids.
Eat less meat is the practical equiva
lent of Prof. Chittenden’s advice.
It has often been noticed by ama
teur mountaineers that Adirondack
guides and Swiss mountain men eat
less solid food than the average Wall
street broker, who does little physical
labor.
OIH TRADE WITH CHINA.
From the New York Sun.
In 1880 our exports to China amount
ed to only $1,101,383, but in 1904 the to
tal was $12,862,202. This was reach
ed by the following fluctuating stages:
1880 $ 1,101,383
1885 6.396,5')0
1890 2,946.209
1895 3,603,840
1900 15,259,167
1901 10,405,834
1902 24,722,900
1903 18,898,163
1904 12,862,202
The drop of $6,000,000 in 1903 from
1902 was in cotton cloths and mineral
oils—equal amounts. For the first we
have to thank the activity of the cot
ton mills in China, and for the second
Russian inroads on our Asiatic trade
in mineral oils. In 1904 we dropped a
further $6,000,000. In fact, we drop
ped a further $9,500,000 in cotton cloths,
but we came up $2,900,000 in mineral
oils.
Our imports from China In 1880 were
$21,769,618, while in 1904 they were $23,-
342,188. This result was reached by
the following stages:
1880 $21,769,618
1885 16,292,169
1890 16,260,471
1895 20,545,829
1900 26,896,626
1901 18,303,^06
1902 21,055,830
1903 26,648,845
1904 29,342,488
Our trade with Hong Kong could
properly be added to our Chinese fig
ures, increasing exports by $9,000,000
and imports by $1,500,000, both aver

PAID TO SAVE RAJAH’S FOOT.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Kittanning, Pa., Nov. 24.—Dr. C. A.
T (lower of this place has returned
from S.t. Louis, mystified still, but
covered with presents worth about
110,000. He has also promised to re
move to India within a year to be
come private physician to Rajah Tipe
Sahigh, a dignitary of whose exist
ence Dr. Flower was in complete Ig
norance until some days ago, when
he was confronted ■with the Rajah's
courier in St. Louis.
Eleven years ago, while at Chicago
attending the World’s Fair, Dr. Flow
er was instrumental in saving the foot
of a young foreigner who had been
trampled on by a camel. The lad,
who appeared to be a Hindoo, pressed
on the physician a peculiar medal and
took in exchange the physician’s card.
Some weeks ago Dr. Flower was
sent a copy of a Western paper In
which his name was mentioned. Would
he call at the Indian embassy at St.
Louis, bringing with him a medal
which bad been given him for services
at Chicago tn 1893 by a young native
of India? The doctor hunted up his
medal and hurried to St. Louis, the
advertisement reading that he should
be there before Nov. 22.
The Kittanning physician was at
once handed presents from the new
Rajah Tipe Sahib, who, It seems, was
the lad whose foot he had saved at
Chicago. The Indian dignitary hoped
that the American doctor would ac
cept his poor presents and would come
to India to live as his private physi
cian.
Dr. Flower will go to India on
April 1. _
BOY TURNED TO RABBIT.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Duluth, Minn., Nov. 27.—A traveling
hypnotist, oalilng himself Prof. Isolde,
gave an entertainment at Fertile, this
state, and William Burgeson, sdn of a
farmer, was among the volunteers who
went on the stage to be hypnotized.
He was an easy subject, and when un
der the spell the professor told him
he was a rabbit.
That was ten days ago, and the boy.
In his Imagination, la still a rabbit.
The professor worked all night to bring
the boy to his senses without result,
and then left for Minneapolis to get
a nerve specialist. He has not return
ed, and the boy's parents threaten ven
geance.
THE GOOSE STEP.
From the Medical Record.
Every one witnessing a military re
view in Germany or Austria for the
first time must have been impressed
by the peculiar stiff-kneed, slamming
step adopted on purade by the Infan
try. At the Congress Of Naturalists
and Physicians, which recently met In
Breslau, this “goose-step.” as it is pop
ularly called, was strongly condemned.
Dr. Thalwitzer read a paper on the
subject in which he showed that the
adoption of this ridiculous Btep ac
counts for numerous knee and foot
complaints among the troops. Sixty
per cent, of the sores on the feet of
the men are In consequence of persis
tent adherence to this antiquated step.
