Reports from different Methodist conferences held in all parts of the country show that the vote is overwhelmingly in favor of admitting women to the general conference. The women are the most enthusiastic church workers and many a church debt has been raised through their efforts. Of course they should bo entitled to representation.

Parties were in the city yesterday representing Bottle manufacturing interest at Philadelphia, Penn., and wore looking over the Hollowegg plant and surroundings with a view of buying it, and if the trade can be effected, they will enlarge the plant here sufficient to employ 600 people. They say that they have to burn coal and cannot compete with factories in the same business in the gas belt. You expect to hear more of this matter in a few days, and if it is necessary for our people to do any tiling on their part to secure this busitiesv that they will do it at once. Wo are making more valuable improvement at the present than any city of the size in the gas belt, and have gained a good reputation abroad. Let us do what we can to hold it and keep the ball rolling.

A Good Suggestion.

Atlanta has duplicated ou a small scale the great World's ~Fair, Nashville, will undertake the same thing next year nr-1 why not the Indiana gas belt pool issues and get up an Indiana Gas Belt Exposition? Let there be siirht selected which would be central, with good railroad facilities, exhibit everything manufactured in the gas belt in which gas as a fuel cuts any figure, make gas displays of all kinds, have a midway\and other attractions, such as were see at the world's fair and to the big show might be added races as well as live stcck and agriculture exhibits. Establish a bureau of information,appoint an excursion manager, run excursions from the exposition to all points in the gas belt, taking capitalists and^ prospectors free to the different towns offering inducements to foreign capital aud manufacturers seekiug locations. Each town could have]a representative present to talk up their respective interests and to show investors where we're at. The Press believes that if the gas towns would pull together .on-*this proposition we could get up an expositibn that would knock out the cotton States exposition and4thatwould-be a ten-strike in the interest of the whole gas belt. What think you, brethren of the press?— Newcastle Press.

Tlio Corner Stoiie In Position.

This afternoon the corner stone'of the new Masonic Temple was put inSfposition with appropriate ceremonies. At 2 p. m. the Masonic lodge,^headed by the band, marched from their hall to their new temple. Many visiting ^brethren were here, and the crotod at the new hall was large. The'vocal music was furnished by Dr. Sparks,»2Frank Rhoadarmer and Wiley Walker. After the laying of the stone, Hou. FrankJG. Gavin, past grand master, delivered an address, which was highly appreciated by the audience. Afier another musical selection, the audience was dismissed by Rey. M. E. Nethercut of the M. E. church.

House and Lot ITor Snle.

A couatry girl brought in some nice chickens a few days ago. They were alive and had their feet tied together to prevent their escape. Placing them on the counter of one of our stores, the polite clerk askedin blunt tones: "Are you sura, Mis-s, they? will lay there?" "Oh no, sir," she stammered, "they are all roosters." The clerk went-out in the back yard to blush. V4

Every gas consume!' in Greenfield should carefully look over all gas pipes in his building and make sure that they are secure anl well joined before winter is fully upon us. If they swag or are loose in any way, or badly rusted, they should be attended to at once. Don't wait until the weather is twenty degrees below zero and then, if your service is short, "cuss" the gas company. Ten chances to one the fault will be iu your pipes.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—A strong movement is making in Ohio, with every prospect of success, lookiug to the establishment of a state naval militia.

ANIMAL CURIOSITIES.'"

Tree Climbing Kabbits, Sheep Eating Par

rots and Sheep That Love Snails.

It: seems almost a stretch of the imagination to think of rabbits climbing trees. Yet in Australia many rabbits have somehow acquired the tree climbing habit, having been forced, on account of the persecutions of tlogs atod other animals, to drop burrowing and •imitate squirrels. An Australian sent on to England recently the two front feet uf a rdbbit that had been killed op an acacia, three yards from the ground, and lie wrote in his letter that this.was not at all a remarkablo thing, and he had •often found them, or at least the traces of their claws, on the bark of trees four, five and six yards high.

For a parrot .to cat aliocp io another remarkable thing, and yet the kea of New Zealand has become a sheep eater, having changed to this article of food from a purely vegetable diet. The kea has proved a serious source of annoyance to the Ne\v Zealand herdsmen, and methods have been taken for the destruc-

meat, but it is sheep that they prefer. They havo been known to kill as many as 200 iu a single night and have done serious harm to the flocks. The tradition of the island is that at one time these parrots were unable to obtain their usual supply of vegetable food and that in desperation they invaded the "drying rooms" and ate whatever came to hand, finding sheep meat agreeable. In Iceland almost all the horses are fish eaters, for the reason that the grain is scarce there and fish is

j'5 What Victoria Conld Do. Xa a matter of fact. our sovereigns have rarely taken any active part in politics siuce George Ill's time* but they could still do some very astonishing things if they chose.' The queen' could dismiss every Tommy Atkins in our army, from the commander in chief to the youngest drummer boy. She could disbanfl the navy in the spine way, and sell all our ships, stores and arsenals to the first customer that came along. Acting ontircly on lujr -own responsibility, she could declare war against any foreign country, oi4 make a present to any foreign power of any part of the empire. She could make every man, woman and child in the country a peer of the realm, with the right, in the case of males who are of age, to a seat in the house of lords.

With a single word she could dismiss any government that happened to be in power, and could, it is believed, pardon and liberate all the criminals in our jails. These area few of the things the queen could do if she liked, but dfc is not necessary to say that her majesty never acts in matters of state except on the advice of the government for the time being.—London Tit-Bits.

What She Would Do.

"Johnnie, dear," said his mother, who was trying to inculcate a lesson in industry. what do yon suppose mamma would do for you if you should come-to her some day and toll hor that you loved your t.udios?'' "Lick me for telling a falsehood," said dear little Johnnie, with the frankness of youth.-r—Pitts-burg Bulletiil.

"Which," asked the unsophisticated young person—" winch is the proper side of a horse for a lady to fat on?" "Both," responded the severe lady with the short hair and seal brown bloomers.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
