Greenfield, Ind., April G. With th? announcement by Bishop Anderson of a large number of changes in appointments, the sixty-sixth annual session of the North Indiana Methodist Episcopal conference came to a close yesteiday afternoon.

Factional troubles in the district, it was said, was responsible for the failure to reappoint Dr. Bennett. Church Politics. For the last three days of the conference church politics was rife. Commictees of laymen from many of the charges in the conference were present pulling wires in an effort to secure or retain favorite ministers. Tears were shed by members of the Bradley M. E. Church in Greenfiell this afternoon, when it was 'announced that the Rev. W. W. Martin, for four years pastor of the church here, would go to the First Church at Bluffton. The Rev. Mr. Martin, therefore becomes host for the" conference ' again next year. Disappointment was evident among some of the ministers, many many failing to gain advantageous appointments, while others received promotions and were happy in their advancement. Every effort was made by the Greenfield congregation to retain Dr. Martin. He will be succeeded by the Rev. C. E. Line of Portland.

RICHMOND WAS LEFT OUT SIX CLUBS, HUNTINGTON, WA BASH, PERU, MARION, BLUFFTON AND KOKOMO, ARE GIVEN THEIR FRANCHISES. ' 0 ' Huntington, Ind., April 6. Bob James and James Renner came back from the base ball meeting at Peru, bubbling over with enthusiasm. Mr. James was selected as temporary chair man, and under his guidance the Northern State league was born. The youngster promises to be a health child and soon to make himself recognized in the baseball world. The officers elected were: President, Ed. E. Hill, Kokomo; vice president, P. A. Klunk, Wabash; secretary-treasurer, Earle Steele of Huntington. It was ordered that each team should pose $100 forfeit money with the treasurer, the amounts to be used in no other way than as forfeits for the nonfulfill ment of the contracts and to be returned at the end of the season. Meet Again Sunday. Another meeting will be held at Ko komo next Sunday, at which time the eight cities to make up the league will be definitely settled and matters of schedule and other important questions will come up. There were nine cities represented at the Peru meeting and all of them were anxious to get berths, so it will be a scramble at the Kokomo meeting. However, the local men are sure that they can land Huntington in the list if the proper interest is shown. The cities wanting in are Huntington, Wabash. Peru, Marion, Bluffton, Kokomo, Muncle, Elwood and Frankfort. Six Get Franchises. It was definitely decided to grant berths to the first six named and at the next meeting the number will be Increased to eight. Mr. James was made chairman of the committee on constitution, by-laws and schedule. The local fans know full well that last year Huntington suffered at the bands of the schedule makers and it is the intention to see that such does not occur this year. An effort will be made to have the league start May 15. A meeting will be held in this city early this week to effect a local organization. Mr. James said that finances were assured. Mr. Hill, who was elected president, was at one time head of the Three-I league and has thorough knowledge of management of affairs. It Couldn't Be Dene. An individual with considerably more lung power than was agreeable to his hearers was hawking fish one morning In a northern town. "Fine fresh 'herrin! Fower a pen ny!" be roared in a fashion that made the windows rattle. A woman approached the barrow and eyed the fish - with a certain amount of suspicion, which, consider ing the circumstances, was not an natural. "Are they fresh?" she demanded. with a suspicious sniff. "They're fower a penny, mam, was the guarded reply. "Yes," responded the other, with a touch of sarcasm. "I thins; I 'eard yer say so. Bnt are they fresh?" "For aught I know, mum. they is.' "When wor they cotched? This was too much, and, adopting the sarcastic style of his questioner. the hawker replied: "Can't say fer sextain, mom. I applied for te birth an death sttfleate of every fish on the barrer, hat at fower a penny It simply couldn't be

Carlisle 29; Yale 27. In the second overtime game of the season Carlisle of the Y. M. C. A. basketball league defeated Yale last evening. It was Yale's second defeat and Carlisle's second victory. The Indians have defeated the sons of Eli twice and not won from any other team, while Yale has defeated all others, Including Chicago twice. That's mixing the dope. The players on all the other teams rejoiced at Yale's defeat as the margin of leadership was narrowed. Made Game Finish. Carlisle started out to make a runaway contest of the affair. Yale could not get together in the first part of the first half and it was not until the score stood 21 to 7 against the blue that the five got its scoring apparatus to working. The half ended with the score 25 to 13 in Carlisle's favor. Yale came back strong in the second half, Carlisle scoring but one field goal while the blue added 'em up until the score was tied. A decision of the referee in regard to the last goal scored by Carlisle in the first half was responsible for Carlisle's victory. Carlisle claimed the ball was in the air, when the gong sounded and the official allowed the goal, although such a ruling had not been enforced in previous games. Anderson scored the goal in overtime on a chance shot. Summary: Yale Carlisle Farrow Anderson Forward Spangler Druley, Graves Forward Weichman . .

With Chronicles as its authority, the Plumbers' Trade Journal says that the bathroom was an invention of King Solomon, who put it in use a thousand years before the Christian era. It was sinful to enter the sanctuary unless the body was perfectly clean, and for the accommodation of priests a bathtub was erected at the entrance to the temple. It was said of Solomon, "He made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim round in compass and five cubits the height thereof, and a line of thirty cubits did compass it roundabout" According to the measurements, the Solomonlan tub was forty-five feet in" circumference at the top and six and one-half feet deep. It rested on carved figures of oxen and was of solid brass cast in one piece, decorated with a floral design. Connected with it there were ten small sinks, which were1 used for washing the offering. Men Who Cheat Themselves. I hare known employees actually to work harder in scheming, shirking, trying to keep from working hard in the performance of their duties, says Orison Bwett Marden in Success Magazine, than they would have worked If they had tried to do their best and had given the largest, the most liberal service possible to their employers. The hardest work in the world is that which is grudgingly done. The youth who is always haggling over the question of how many dollars and cents he will sell his services for little realizes how he is cheating himself by not looking at the larger salary he can pay himself in increasing his skill, in expanding Ms experience and in making himself a better, stronger, more useful man. College Foolishness Barred. "John, said the farmer, "Tre given you the best education the college had in the shop." "Yes, sir." "Never stood back fer expense? "Never." "You. speak six languages? "Perfectly." "So for, so good. Now, listen. Don't swear at the mule in Greek. Don't use no Latin terms to him, an fling no French his way. Use the Georgy dialect that yon an' the mnle wui raised to. It's my opinion that the mule wen't stand no college foolishness." Atlanta Constitution. Judge Hoar's Retort. Judge Hoar and General Butler were opponents in a case of a new trialGeneral Butler quoted. "Eye for eye, akin for sktn. tooth for tooth yea, all that a man hath win be give for his life." To which Judge Hoar replied. "Yes. tbe dem-cTjoted that once before In a motion for a new trial." . There la no tyrant like custom and no. freedom where its edicts are not

FRANK CLEVER EXHIBIT George Spears, Billiard Expert, Startled the Natives by Play. IS WIZARD WITH HIS CUE In a clever exhibition of billiards at the Westcott Hotel parlors last evening, George Spears of Indianapolis. had an easy time disposing of two local players, Hibberd and Sutters. The local men went into the games simply to provide an opponent to Spears and give him a chance to display his skill. Hibberd lost 100 to 4o and Sutters was trimmed 250 to 8. In the game against Sutters Spears got the balls in the corner and ran out his 6tring with a run of 168. His playing was exceptionally dexterous. An exhibition of finger billiards was given by the professional and some of the plays made were real astonishing to the natives. He placed fifteen pool balls tight against the rail and twisted the cue ball with english, so that it hit each one of the pool balls, forcing them from the rail. He showed how tha game of four ball billiards is played and gave an illustrated talk on the chief points of how to play billiards. Her Inference. "Now, I suppose," remarked Mrs. Snaggs, "that tbe surgeons of tbe army are attached to the medical corps." . "Your supposition does you great credit," replied Mr. Snaggs sarcastically. "It's a wonder you didn't imagine that doctors joined tbe army for the purpose of bunding bridges or going up in a balloon. Where should army surgeons be except in the medical corps? .

GO UP AHEAD. Then See That You Stay There Yen Can if You Work Hard. Thirty years ago in a poor schoolhouM in a back district a boy at the foot of tbe class unexpectedly spelled a word that bad passed down tbe entire class. --. "Go up ahead." said the master, "and see that you stay there. You can If you work hard." Tbe boy bung his bead. But tbe next day be did not miss a word in spelling. The brighter scholars knew every word In the lesson, hoping there might be a chance to get ahead, but there waa not a single one.. Dave stayed at the bead. He bad . been an Indifferent speller before, but now be knew every word. "Dave; bow do you get your lesson no well now? said tbe master. "I learn every word In tbe lesson and get ay mother to bear me at night, then I go over them In tbe morn ing before I come to school, and I go over them at my seat before the class Is called up." - - "Good boy, Daver said tbe master. "That's tbe way to have success; always work that way and youll do."

DO HEARTS CHEAK7, Human Nature the Same Poos its Med Broken hearts, so tbe British Journal of Nursing tells us, are quite out of fashion. The disease has become obsolete, and two reasons are assigned for this. In tbe first place, we are told that women do not fall In lore as once they did. Mere children are not encouraged to think on lore and matrimony, and then women, banns come to riper years and sounder Judgment before they decide to marry, do not let themselves fall into that state which waa supposed to produce cardiac rupture. One ventures to express the opinion that the statement is not altogether accurate. Human nature does not alter from one generation to another. People "fell In lore" a thousand years ago; a thousand rears hence tber win be do ing tho same. But they wore their nu vltk a m wilt ku who are to succeed us. Tbe fact hi we do not now wear our hearts en-oar . sleeves, and we bare learned that It lovers prove untrue or unworthy there are better and mere dignified ways of lamenting them than souring oar tempers, wasting away and snowing oor frtends and relations to treat on asderelicts. Punishment In Efffty. Punishment In eOgy was legally practiced In France) and with gnat solemnity up to tbe time of she first revolution.
