Ae the men who livo In thl. way ere mainly
politician., and ae many are rich men from the
largo cities of theetate,the cuttom of keeping
. few edible, on hand for company, end for
tbemaelvea In Inclement weather
bee developed here to a point
that I. remarkable. Men like William W,
Altar, Theodore Booeevelt, James W. Hasted,
Wekler Howe, W. S. Andrews, Werner Hiller,
John Morrissey, Hamuel J. Tllden end other, of
wealth end experience, .11 given to entertain
ing, end other bachelor, in fact, or living .
bachelors, have led Iho way |n thlsuncommon
hospitality, and each ona’a specialties have
been merged Into tho goneral fund of knowl
edge nntll it baa grown to be an art aa well os
a science.
All men era more or leaa fond ot “stag par
ties,” aa thoae gatherings are called to which
no women are Invited. Mon wbo have homes
in the largo cities enjoy these maoeullne meet
ings at the clubs, or tho modorn foreign
reatanranta, bnt thl. would not do for the
bachelor, of Albany, for they meet either to
talk politics, to drink, or to "back the tiger”
St “htaTta” OI poker. In either case, In fact
all cases, a great deal of drlnklag ie dona at
there gatherings; and aa they laat far put
midnight, hanger must bo considered,
there ie no food to be hwl In the nanal way In
there lodging honeee, the problem how to
•npply tho deficiency baa to be atudlod
Men who drink heavily soon learn that the
effects of aleobol diminish when food is par
taken oft re that whenever a politician 1.
found wlth .closet or cellar of liquors there
to alto found good supply of edibles.
One of the moat appetising of the dtohea
that one often rnni across at poker or
political parties there to broiled sardines.
They are delicious and consort with otoret,
sauterne, rhino wine, malt liquors or oven
whisky; In ftet they are palatable with all ex
cept sweat drink. The bachelor who offers
them has two wire hollers. In one he puts
seme slices of bread to be
totaled, and In the other ae
many sardines aa he can get between
the ehceta of wire. If he has a grata Are he
roasts tho bread and broils the little Ashes
simultaneously. If he hat a parlor stove ho
broils the Ashee Ant, and makes the toast hut,
ae the Aohra will keopa few mlnutee with less
damago to themselves than the toast will. Tho
toast to then buttered and cat Into Angers, and
one sardine, brollad dry of ell, to put on tach
Anger of toast.
Similar to the method of serving beefsteaks,
and very tasty and welcome to a man who to
drinking, lathis apparently commonplace dish
found. It eounda as If it waa an ordinary
tbiag, hut It ie not. In order to serve It to
bto gnasU the bachelor must go to hu butcher
about a week before he wants the most, and
order the tanderest steak kept In
the refrigerator until ha sends for It; or ho
can take It home and pat It In hto own leebox,
but It mast he a cold and airtight one, or tho
meat will spoil. At Iho and or a week, or at
the least fonr days, the beef will be found in
good condition. It to then put Iu a broiler
with lie upper aide covered an Inch doop with
butter, well salted and peppered. When tho
meat to to lie turned, the other side most be
similarly buttered. Experienced men ssy
thst women cooks are no good as a rule, and
the reason Is that they era too economical.
However that may bo, few women would put
as nmrh butter on a beefsteak as this mothod
of rooking requires.
While tho steak is broiling, tho bachelor, in
the presence of his gnosis, nerhape, cuts up
some nice, new bread Into strips three Inches
long snd half an Inch thick. Aftarwarda he
cuts tho steak In tho asm. way, and hands
each guest a bit of bread and steak togethor,
to he eaten from the Anger*. It will be found
unlike any steak to bo had at a hotel or roatan-
rant It will molt on tho tangno, and Its del-
iracy and savor will loach the heart even of
an Indian. For a change, mutton kidneys
are broiled In the lame way, and served
on little piece* of bread and venr popular this
year at the beat bachelor establlshmenta In
Albany. Whole kidneys are need and when
rooked a piece of butter to put In the center.
For there who Ilka to "devil" thorn, red and
black pepper mixed to handed around. Halt it
nrceasary. There twod!ahee,kldneyeand steak,
go well with moat winee, with ale and beer,
and with all liqnon. Home bachelors serve
them with champagne, but the mixture is not
highly commended. Champagne will spoil
slmoet any ordinary liah if much of It has
bean drank before eating.
One legislator some dish ball*, and they are
much praised snd aonghtaftar, bat they hard
ly deserve to ha mentioned here, for he bat to
have them made at a restaurant and rent to
him, while all he doea to to cook them In a

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.
Bichmokd, Va., Hay 10.—In the Methodist
Episcopal general conference today, Dr. M. B.
Chapman, of Missouri, Introduced n preamble
snd rerelntlon in relation to the confederation
of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, and
the Methodist Episcopal churah, north. The
preamble seta fourth,in •ubotance.thtt tho two
churches have a common history and preach
the same truth, and that the Cape May mis
sion has been wholly disregarded; there
fore, be It
Resolved, That this general conference shall
elect a committee ot seven, four of whom shal t bo
clerical end three lay delegates, who shall meet
a like committee from the Northern Methods
rkurch in IASS, looking to a reunion of the two
churches.
The resolution further rets forth that it Is a
sin snd folly for two Methodist chnrches
to occupy the same territory.
Dr. Chapman, In bto earnest advocacy of this
rerelntlon. said that In hto state the sin ami
folly of tbo matter bad been obwrved. Thst
he baa seen in a small town of 400 or 600 in
habitants. two Methodist churches raising
altar against altar, a waste of men snd money
and a waste of forces of onr Christianity.
Brethren In tbo south, ho argued, have not
this thing to contend with and know nothing
of the dash which to mat with In the west,
and know nothing of the facta in relation to
tbo segrstlon of Methodism which to going
under tho present state of affairs.
Continuing Dr. Chapman said: ‘‘We who
have seen this state of things are tired of this
waste of mm and money. Where the northern
Methodist church to in the eacondancy, we are
dying by Inches and where we are In the as
cendancy, that church la dying by inches.
Dr. Whitehead, of Virginia, was In lavor of
referring the matter to the committee on fra
ternal correspondence.
The question was discussed at some length
and Anally was referred to a special committee,
to be composed of one from each annual con
ference.
Another Important matter, looking In tbo
san e direction, was the reference to an appro-
£ iiata committee, the preparation ofacommon
ynmal that may be used hy all different
bodies of Methodism in the country.
The committee on Itinerancy, to which was
referred th* memorial from Looitvillo and
Denver conferences, that provlsloa be made
for tho appointment of evangelists, recom
mended non-concurrence.
Dr. Adams, of Georgia, thought that Ham
Jones and other such men should have nomi-
nal appointment*.
Dr. Meeeick, of Louisville, strongly sup
ported the report of the committee and
waa in favor of allowing tho question
of evangelism to stand as It is.
He very forcibly contended that the cbnrch
did not want specialists on this subject. That
every Methodist preacher Is equally qnalidod
to save ton Is. In the name or Methodism bo
protested against such an Innovation, and
when be concluded there was a hearty “amen.”
Dr. Neely, of Texas, said that these evan
gelists, as far as he know, were rnnning on a
plan of religion made easy. In tho namo of
the Methodist cbnrch, and of the entire cbnrch
of God, bo hoped thst the measure wonld fall.
Dr. WinAeld. of Arkansas, said that if the
memorial la adopted, that every gum log In
Methodist connection will bo an evangelist In
tbo next live years.
“Do yon know what a gura log Is?” tho doc-
tor asked. “It to one you can’t do anything
with. When I waa in Enrone with Bishop
Wilson wo were shown a certain kind of treo
there called “feminine oak.” You can’l|spllt It
or do anything with It. It Is Just like a wo
man, when aha will she will and you can’t do
anything with her. There to bat one Ham
Jones in the world, snd there will never bo
bnt ono, and every little fellow that trios to bo
Ilka Bam Jones will fall- You ran make no
more on that line. Ho to by himself You
can bavo hot one, and if yon attempt to dupli
cate him yon will surely fall. (Laughter.]
He has turned Chicago bpeldo down, and any
man who has the courage to attack Chicago
cannot be duplicated. He to being heard in
Baltimore. Ha is the man of the century.
We don't want any evangelist* among south
ern Methodists. We have already the grand
est machinery In tho world. Brethren, I toll
yon what to the matter, you go along lifeless
and dead. Bakindle the dree In your own
church, for it Is Umo Methodist mluistora
wore looking this matter In tbo face.”
Dr. McFerrin said it meant a subversion of
tho itlnersnoy plan and a revolution in Intln-
i n-y work. Way back yonder, 7S yearn ago,
It'was attempted. That was wbat created
Lorcnro Dow and everybody living In hto day
knew the aplrlt and foaling he hod towards
the Methodist cbnrch end government. A
great many allusions have been niado to Bata
Jones. I have hoard him. I understand that
be to working for tho Orphans' home in Geor
gia, and ha goea out hy appointment from the
bishop. Suppose wo pas* a tow making Ham
Jones an evangelist? Then ho is conAned to
Georgia, never to go to Chicago or Balti
more, bat stay in tho back-
woods of Georgia. If you pas*
that subatltute you will clip
Hai% Jones’s wing and he goes no more out of
Georgia.
I)r. Andrews, of Mississippi, offered a subatl
tute for the wholo matter. Hto substitute
provided for tho appointment of tbo evangelist*
nndereettain conditions to bo defined by the
conferences appointing them.
Mr. Machen, of Kentucky, was opposed to
“erratic missionaries,” and several other dele
gatee took the same position. After a lengthy
and Interesting discussion of tho matter the
substitute wet trjcctecf and the report of tho
committee was adopted by an almost unani
mous vote.
Dr. Fotenon, of Virginia, from tho commit
tee on Biblea, submitted a half doran report*
in relation to change* in discipline. He also
submitted a report of hto committee
in regard to a memorial from
the Mltourl conference, asking that the word
“sonth” be eliminated from too name of tho
Methodist Episcopal church, south, and a re
port on tho resolution providing that church
members signing peUUons for the sale of In-
toxlraling liquors may bo dealt with os case*
of Imprudent and Improper conduct.
l)r. WinAald, of Arkansas, said that such a
resolution amounted to absolutely nothing,
because In the Ant place tho maanal was al
ready generally recognised aa an able com
mentary on law. Secondly, the book has
been officially indorsed by being placed in the
courts of study for younger members of the
conference. Thirdly, the thet that th* author
of the book explicitly, a few days ago. do-
eland the book was possessed of no official
authority whatever.
Fraternal delegate* from the Methodist Epis
copal church to this general conference are ex-
psrtid in Blchmond this week. They are Kev.
John Wiley, D. D„ of Drew Theological semi
nary, and Governor Foraker, of Ohio
Bicuhond, Va., May 14.—The Methodist
Episcopal conference opened today with ordi
nary religion* exercise*. Among the reporta
a very Interesting one was made on the sub
ject of education, proposing th* establishment
of fonr bibliral schools, with other nutters of
general literary interest to the denomination.
A resolution waa offered, signed by Dr. T. J.
Dodd, of Tennessee, U. F. Taylor, H. P.
Walker and others, railing fora change In the
rubrics of th* church touching the invitation
to the Lord’s supper. The resolution proposes
that the invitation read: “All that do truly
and earnestly repent of yonr tins and intend
to lead a new life, living in love and charity
with yonr neighbors.” etc., Instead of “All
that do truly repent of yonr tins and era in
love,” etc.
The committee on nvtoal presented their
report. The committee had referred to it a
paper In regard to dancing; also, a clausa tot-
bidding doneeo, attending the circus and opera.
The committee fully agree that Hues evils are
directly contrary to th* general rale* which
are sufficiently coiapteheuslve to cover each
rates, and recommend that said evils should
be corrected under the tow as it now stands.
A resolution was offend that Sunday school
snpeiii tendcnts be not allowed to serve more
then fonr year*. Also a resolution to appoint
a minion evangelist Both were referred.

THE DAYS OF ’68.
The gubernatorial campaign ot ’rixty-etght
will forever stand without a parallel In our histo
ry. It wa* something more than a battle of ballot*.
It waa almost a civil war.
Even now It la difficulty apeak calmlv of that
mighty upheaval. The entire commonwerit b waa
convulsed. Under the protection of federal bayo
nets a gang of aliens, carpetbaggers and negroes
come down like wolves on the fold and proceeded
to devour tho state itrelf. For a time it aeemed
that the shattered wreck of our civilization would
be swept away. It was dangerous even to protest
The commander of the “Third Military District”
bad bis spies everywhere. He waa ready at a mo
ment's notice to arrest our citizens and hurry them
before a court martial organized to convict.
It was not enough to tum a proud state, one of
the Old Thirteen, Into a military district. We were
forced to endure the humiliation of having a mil
itary governor, a Granger who had not a single
interest in common with our people. With the
army and navy of the United State* arrayed against
us; with the machinery of government violently
wrested from our hands, and with all the rampant
and rapacious cohorts of radicalism and carpet-
l,agism united in their savage onslaught upon a
defenceless people, the outlook wo appalling.
When the radical state convention finished its
work in the spring of sixty-eight, it ordered an
election to take place on the 20th of April, and the
three followitg days. This election was to ratify
or reject the new constitution, and elect a governor
aid general aiscmbly. Then came the tug of war.
The republicans, being well organized, and sup
ported by the swords and bayonets of a conquer
ing army, nominated their candidate for governor,
and opened the campaign with an Insolent flour
ish of trumpets. At first they were under the de
lusion that they would sweep on to an easy victo
ry. They believed that a war-worn people would
feel reluctant to renew the strife,
even when liberty was at stake.
These adventurers had much to tempt
them. They saw a state, one of the largest in the
nnjon, and destined by nature to be one of the
richest, lying prostrate at their feet, a glittering
prize inviting forcible seizure. Soldiers of fortune
rushed in from everywhere, eager to be in at the
death, and panting to divide the spoils. Among
those flocking to the republican standard were ox-
union soldiers, camp followers and bushwhackers;
mercenary free lancers from Russia and Poland;
speculative reformers from tbo banks of tho I’ia-
cataqufs, and the entire African contingent.
Such a tumultuous tidal wave never before in the
hbtoiy of the world threatened to overwhelm a
civilized state.
The white people of Georgia, or the democrats,
for very few white Georgians In those days were
not democrats, feet that the issue was virtually lib
erty or death. Tho complete triumph of the re
publican* meant the destruction of law, order and
society, a wild period of anarchy, and then anoth
er attempt at reconstruction. It was a time to try
men's souls. Many of our most patriotio citizens
were in despair. Secret societies, called “onion
leagues,” dotted the state and controlled the ne
groes. On our side, too, thero were excesses, the
natural outgrowth of oppression. The kuklux
klan was an institution in those days.
About this time the democratic clubs, composed
ofthe older citizens, were reinforeod by supple
mentary organizations called “Young Men’s Dem<
ocratio clubs.” The first of thoso societies was or
ganized In Atlanta, and others soon sprang up ev
erywhere. The two organizations were In thor
ough harmony, carryiug out the old maxim, “Old
men for counsel.young men for aetlou.” The demo
cratic executive committee was composed of E. G.
Cabaniss, chairman; E. A. NUbct, J. J. Gresham-
James Jackson, G. W. Adams, L. N. Whittle, J. R.
Snead, A. W. Reese, A. R, Wright, J. Hartridge, N.
Tlft,P. W. Alexander, J. I. Whittaker, J. A* W.
Johnson, and 8. J. Smith. Early in the campaign,
as it waa not feasible to call a state convention, this
committee nominated Judge Augustus Ream for
governor. In the coarse of a few days Judge Roese
discovered that under tho reconstruction acta he
waa not elcgible. IIo therefore declined to run,
and recommended Judgo David Irwin. Rapid
work waa necessary. Judge Irwin was nominated,
lie accepted, but after conference with the mili
tary authorities retired from the race, it having
been ascertained that General Meade, tho com
mander of the district, held him Ineligible.
llytbls time the democrats were nerved to tho
highest pitch of excitement. The election was
less than a month off ami they had no candidate
for governor. Naturally the older statesmen were
thought of first. Name after namo
was considered, but It was found
that all were disqualified under the in famous leg
illation of congress. It became evident that some
young man, who had not held office before the
war, would havo to be chosen. But wbat young
man would havo the firmness and daring to make
the fight? How could he rally to his support the
entire white population of the state? Like a flash
of inspiration came tho name of John B. Gordon.
He had never been a politician. He was eligible,
and although a young man, hi* name was la every
body’s mouth. He was loved and honored aa
the hero of a hundred fights; as tho right hand of
the illustrious Lee; as the Bayard of the southern
army.
So the executive committee called apubltc meet
ing at Davit hall. The house was filled to over
flowing. Fully 3,000 people were present. After
clearly stating the situatlon.Chatrman Cabaniss In
formed the audience that the commltteo favored
the nomination of General John B. Gordon, and he
desired to hear from the citizens present. The
nc ruination waa ratified unanimously, and with
the wildest enthusiasm. A committee immedi
ately notified General Gordon of his nomination,
and conducted him to the ball. Ills reception was
a cyclonic furore of applause, punctuated with
rebel yells. >Vlth the modest dignity characteristic
of the man, the general accepted the perils and re
sponsibilities imposed upon him and
made the opening speech of the
campaign. His bold and ringing
eloquence convinced every hearer that “The man
and the hour .had met.” Davis hall never wit
nessed such a scene before or since. The thun
derous applause rocked the structure to Its founda
tion stones. The wild cheers threatened to uplift
the roof. Old men cried from exceaof joy, and fair
women ran the thk of spllttlig their rosy palms
as they clapped their tiny hands. Meade’s Judge
advccste general, was agha«L The federal spies
gnashed their teeth In their rage. Union leaguers
and carpet baggers slunk out of the hall and fled
in the darkness. It was evident that a revolution
was brewing.
It waa a revolution,and in the end it was success
ful. But it had to go through night to light. Gor
don’s nomination electrified the people from the
mountains to the seaboard. Every confederate
veteran raised his voice for hta favorite hero. The
young men, with that intense admiration for chiv
alry characteristic of youth, gave themselves, heart
and band,to the cauae of Georgia’s redemption. The
young voters of the present generation are fomtlUr
with the ovations to Fltzhugh Lee in the guber
natorial campaign of last vear. They were tame
affaire by the side of Gordon's recep
tions everywhere. From county to county
the people's choice went. amidst a
perfect whirlwind of acclamations. His tour re
sembled a royal progreoa. The radical campaign
speakers were dismayed, but they knew how to
hold their, black clans together, and they held
them.
The fonr days election was an outrage. It was
devised to -ult the convenience of the republican
leaden in marching squads of negroes across the
ccuctry, thus repeating votes tn several counties.
During this protracted struggle at the ballot box
the democrats, almost to a man, quit business.
They left their fields, workshops,
stores and offices, and worked
as men do when Ufo is stroke. Wh«t waa the re
sult? There has never been but on* answer to
this quettlon. If anything la certain, it Is abso
lutely certain that the gallant Gordon was elected
by several thousand majority. But
the programme waa to cheat him it
th« y could not beat him, and the cheat was car-
ikd out. We bad then a board of registration
that controlled the election return*. It was & radi
cal con ctm, and the following circular seat out
from its headquarters will explain the methods
Uked to count out Gordon.
“Office Hcpf.kintendent Reomtbatiom, At-
Itnta. Ga , May 8, lMfi -Dear Sir: Yours of 6th to
hand. We want affidavits proving force, Band, in-
tJmidatton in violation of general orders. We man
have them, and plenty of them. Goto work ana
get them up at once. .. ..
“The names of the parties making the affidavits
will rot he known to any person except yourselr
and the bosrd. They need have no fears on that
score. You can swear them before ——-• Please
go to work sharp and quick. The election in your
county will be contested. Defend yourselves by
attacking the enemy. Respectfully, etc.,
“E HULBXRT.r
This circular makes It plain to even the way
faring man. Backed up by the army and the gen
eral government, the radicals did not hesitate to
steal the state government.
The fruits of thia forced radical victory were
)*olsononv. Georgians continued to look upon
Gordon aa their duly elected governor. Under his
leadership their spirit had flamed up with lts old-
time brightness and heat. They felt that they had
practically won the day, and all they had to do
was to remain solid. Gordon, with soldierly calm
ness, accepted the Inevitable, glorying in the pa
triotism of hla supporters, and cheered by the as
surance that they wonld yet reap the delayed liar-
vest. But the men who were cheated out
of their votes did not conceal their Just wrath.
Probably there waa not a mau among them who
did not swear, or at least register an emphatic
resolution to overturn the fraud, to right the
wreng and give Gordon his own as aoon as the
voice of the people could be heard.
Even the younger voters, for whose information
this la chiefly written, recollect how the move
ment broded by Gordon finally turned out. It
had so solidly arrayed the virtue and intolllgenoe
of the commonwealth against radicalism and
its Iniquitous methods that the dark
fabric gradually melted away liko the
baseless fabric of a virion. Tho carpet-baggers
left tbo state for the state’s good. Tho pock of
hungry adventurers turned upon each other and
stung themselves to death. All the debris of des
potism was carted off, and the free people of this
liberty-loving commonwealth regained the right
of local self-government, and with God’s help
they are going to keep it!
This is but the barest outline of a reminiscence
of a dark and yet a glorious period in our history.
It suggests thoughts that must thrill even the dull
est; thoughts that “must stir a fever in the blood
of age,” and cause the most sluggish pulso to leap
at the touch of a noble inspiration. The man who
was rightly and Justly hailed aa the leader who
redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled Georgia
in ’sixty-eight is still among ui. We have never
righted the great wrong which ho bore nncom-
plalningly for our sake, but we can right it now.
The man and the opportunity stand face to face.
Why should tbezo two not be wedded? The people
will not forbid the bans.

“She looked kinder ashamed as ahe took her seat
directly in front of me and blushed crimson every
time 1 looked at her. Her companion! were talk
ing with the conductor and porter, and finally all
of them, Including the officials, took seat* near my
section., The little Quaker who assisted me to oc
copy my section, after looking at her companions
and blushing somewhat, made a dash for tho
window. Of course I offered to assist her. I knew
that there were double sash and that tho outer
one would not open, but thinking it an admira
ble way to start a conversation I began. After lift
ing the inner window I asked her If she was too
warm. She replied in tho affirmative. I opened
the register at the lop of tho car. I then asked
her If she was not from sahooland received a mon
osyllable for a reply. In fact I kept on asking her
questions and received yea and no for answers.
The other occupants of the car were perfectly
quiet, and I felt that my conversational powers
were being tested. I thought I wonld be very smart
so 1 said, in the moat prolonged toner
“Didn’t your mother tell you not to talk with
strange gentlemen whom you might meet on the
train?”
“No, sir,” she replied, In the most innocent way;
“thi- told mo not to talk with traveling men, as she
knew that gentlemen would not force a conversa
tion.”
Of course everybody laughed and I felt very un
comfortable. aa tnc Joke had been turned on mo. I
fell my clothes did not fit me. and I kuew that I
did not appear to my best advantage. Iu fact. L
would Just as ioou have been out of the car, foi*
1 felt cheap, and knew that tho odds Wrre against
n e. 1 sot out at the next station. Since that time
1 have U ft the car windows alone.”

a New York drummer; “It mu»t have been some

They came iuto the ear where I was. and ono of
the prettiest of the who’c lot took part of my seat,
while her companions all stood around her within

“Can’t I open that for you?
I thanked her, being so surprised that I could
pot quite understand the situation. Her compan
ions. and in fact everybody In the car, became in
ti rested, aud they all directed their .attention to
us.
“Are you on your way home?” ahe asked.
I told her I was out on a business trip.
“Have you traveled much alone?”
Quite a good deal, I replied, not at all pleased
with the nnenviable position I was forced to oc
cupy. Without giving me a chance to ask any
questions, she continued:
“Can’t I buy yon some fruit or oranges?”
I don’t care about any, 1 replied.
“Wouldn’t you like a book or pamphlet to
read, 1 have some In my traveling bag!”
I left the se at and told her there waa absolutely
nothing that 1 wanted. As I made my way out to
the sleeping ear nearlyeverybody laughed, includ
ing the Yassar girls. One of ibe latter took my
place. To this day I never sec a woman coming
toward my seat that I don’t think ot that experi
ence. I've heard men say they would like to
have It tried on them, but no mau likes to be made
a fool of, and he certainly appears in that light
when a lot of shool girls start in to make him ap
pear ridiculous.”
