Marshal rraincas Conrobert. Tb
oration will be delivered by Genera
Bilot minister of war in the presen
cabinet Tbe erection of this statue
and the leadirg part taken in its dedi
cation by representatives of the presen
govern uent afford an indication not
only of the fickleness of republics but
of the fact that vindication comes lo
all men ?orner or later even if t.ba
later b ? long after their death. When
Conrobert died tbeFre"chcbamberstill

While Conrobert's fame is marred ny
tbe fact that he made deei-ive the
prince-presidect's famous coup d'etat
yet the monument ts a merited tribute
to his military ability and fearlessness
in the field. His record in Africa in
the Crimea and elsewhere was one suc-
cefs:on of ber::ic acts. Even after be
ing wounded at Alma and Inkermann
he kept in the saddle until placed hors

CONFERENCE.
Able Discourse Last Nisrht by Rev. B
C Matthews of At kansaw.
Trinity church was well filled last
night by Christian pe.iple of various
denominations aod other- to her Rv.
B C. Matthews of At kansaw pre-ch
'he evening discourse bef re the New
Maxico onfirence H;s tiime
the disobeiient prophet. The toxt
was. "And when he was gone a lion
met him by the way and slew him; and
his carcis-i was cast in the way." I
Kings XIII:2I. The speaker gave an
historical resume of God's dealing
with the J ews until the time of their
revolt under the tyrannical rein of
Reboboam son of So'omon. The ten
tr.b.scho-e Jeroboam son of Nebat for
their leade- made their headquarters
a'. Sne hem and went off into idolatrv.
"hea the preacher said in part: God
aid his hands on a prophet and told
him to go to Bethel and cry against
te altar with the express command
neither to eat brerd or drink
water ia that city nor return by tba
way he entered it. As the prophet
sto d and cried agaicst the attar Jero
boam called out for some one to iay
hfld on the prophet whereupon as
Jeroboam stood with outstretched arm
of command th Lord withered his
arm. Then the affrightened king
called out to the man of God to have
the Lord he'il his arm. The prophet
did so and the withered arm was re
tored. Then Jeroboam invited the
prophet to go home and dine w it'a him
and receive a reward. But the prophet
remied "Not for half of ihy kingdom "
Afterward he went out of the city by
another road. However he was over-
taken by a false prophet who prevailed
upon the traveler to return to Bethel
ind eat and drink. Ihen Lrod forced
the real spirit nf prophesy on the
prophet and told him that becaus3 he
hatl disobeyed his carcaes should not
come to tbe sepulohur of bis fathers.
vv un in is terrioie message ringing in
his ears the disobedient prophet went
forth ard a lion found hiin in tbe way
and slew him.
The speaker further; sid I have re
peated this history in order that we
may look at. ti e prophe". in and out of
the road of du'y. In the first place.
while In 'he roidof duty he stood
alone so far as humanity i concerned
but God was with hm. A 1 true disci-
e-s of the Lord travel this lonely roa.3.
Jesus trod 'h wine press alone ani
the servant is n t ab ve his master.
There was a tiiua when even Christ
was popular but popularity is as fleel-
ag as the dew drop that glisteas o i
the blade of grass. One day the peo-
ple shou'ed. Hostnnah! antl the next
day Crucify him! In the garden of
Geshsemene Jerus was alone for -they I
all forsook him and lied. He went to
tbe cross ajone and like a lamb led be-
fore its shearers so openei he not his
mouth. But when he hung upon the
the cros it app ared that God forgooir !
him and he ciei "My God: My Gcd;
Why hast thou forsaken m V Ail great .
men who have moved the world see this j
thought One of our poets in his
adiress n wav.-r rowi tnrew out mis I
iiJei "He who from zone to z me guides '
thue in th' tie unerring lligbt in thi i
long road 1 must travel a'cn
will j
iuidi- tuy stops arignt. ' t'uui wni e
preaching in Asia said "'AH men fo:-
soolt me nevertheless Christ st od by
me. ' So the lonely hour will oome.
the critical period will arrive to every
true idisc'ple -of iCht-ist.
In the s cond place the prophet
meets organized opposition. Here
were t: n tribes with priests from the
lowest o-d :r of the people and Jero
boam ready to offer iucensa to the
go!den calves. The man of God merts
this organized f rce; and so ev.y
Christian in the rod of du'y meets or-
raniz d forces of satan. 'Paul givrs
an idea of the Organizal iou of the king-
dom of Belz-'bub when he said put oi-i
the who o a in r of God that yo m iy'e
withstand the wiles of the devil
For !
we retie lol fgtinst nesh and
hloo.l but again-it priucipaliti -s
and powers against the r;ilers
of da-kness of this wi rl !. aid t-pi-iu il
wickedness in high places Here is
organization. Principalities are re-
presented by Beelzebub on bis throne. I
The powers are represented by
delegated autnority and the rulers of
darkness and then there is spiritual
wickedness in high p aoes. No man
can fight this warfare unless he puts
on tbe whole armor of God. This i-s il-
iuetrated in Bunyan's Pilgrim's
Progress where the Christian equipped
for war met Apollyon. The arch fiend
spread himself across the way with
yells and threateningly told Christian
to prepare to die. Christian thought
to turn back but remembered be had
nothing to protect his bock. So ohna
tlan.went ahead and came off victor
ioi s.
In the third place' in the road of
duty the prophet was protected
When he cried again -t tbe altar and
the king stid 1 iy hold on him God
laid hold on the king himself and
withered hlo arms So God protects
all who remain in tbe path of duty.
Ibis was also illustrated when tbe
heathen king sent to Dothan to take
Elisha for revealing his plans to the
king of Israel. When the Eervant
of Elisha went out early that morning
ne saw the wo jds full of horses and
chariots Then he exclaimed Alas
j3j master how shall we do.J El sba
rep ied kfep your equil brium. Thev
who be for us are greater than they
who be against us. Then El'sha asked
God to oren the spiritual eyes of his
servant that he might see and the eyes
of tbe young man were opened so that
he saw the mountains full of invincible
forces chariots of fire.
b vmrthly out of the road ot duty we
find tbe prophet under tbe shade of an
oak where he had stopped. This was a
i-a 1 experience for him. and we find it
fin ly illustra'ed in the Pilgrim Pro-
gress where Christian stopped in th?
arbor on the hill of difficulty and falling
into sinful slumber he lost bis roll
At the top of the bill he met Timorous
and Mistrust wbo cried out"Tbe lions!
The lions! ' Then Christian bethought
him of the roll to gather encourage
ment therefrom and finding it gone
remembered his sinful sleep so be bad
to retrace his steps to the arbor where
he found the document laying under
the s?at whire he had dropped it. He
had just time before dark to reach the
portals of the palace Beautiful. pas;.
the lions whom be found chained
Agiin we hnd tne prophet eating un
lawful bread. This is where satan
gets a majority of the'pople through
neir appetites That is the way he
got Adam: that is the way the de
vil tried to catch Christ and failed in
advisirg tt at stones be made breid
That is the way he got at Etau wbo
for a mess of pottage sold his birth
lght. God did not protect
ne prophet out or tte
l'ne of duty; but while in that road the
Lord withered the king s arm when
the latter dared to offer violence
Hell is full of pscple who were caught
out f the road of duty; and were it
not for inconsistency with h's laws
Ged's ereat heart would hurl Beelze
bub off bis throne and save all hell
Butit n imp issible to save mm out
f the pita of duty out of tbe kings
lgb way.
The session of this morning opened
witathe customary prayer meetin
Most of the morning was taken up with
ircussion as to qualifications of candi-
ates for admission into the ministrv.
The case of B. B. Scoggios occasioned
considerable debate aid it resulted iu
the dropping of Mr. bcog?ins from the
regular ministry as his qualifications
were not acceptable to the conference
Mr. Scjoggins made a spirited defense
He has ben in tbe itinerancy a number
of years. Supernumerary relations were
anted to Rev. Thomas Hodgson at
his own request. Rev. W. F. Foulks
of Albuquerque aid Rav. Edward
Lebreton were admitted to the mini
try. Rv. B. E. Terrell of Cooks N
M.. was presented for admission but
the conference was not safsfied with
bis qualifications and the applicali n
was declined.
The fol'owing apportionments to
various city pulpits were made for the
morrow:
Trinity Bishop Duncan at 11:00 a.
m.; Rav. C. J. Oxley at 7:30 p. m.; Ep-
worth League rally at 3:00 p. m.

lance at 4 00 p. m.

A marked feature of the session was
the charge to the newly admitted
preachers Revs. G.ladney Fouiks and
Le Breton by Bishop Duncan. The
bishop was not at all well and deliver-
ed the charge under difficulties. How-
ever he said: Brethren I have seen
tome preachers who were very dog-
matic and aggressive: who knew more
than their fathers or children. Don't
examine the bible to find what you
want to knoav. But read it to find
wha". is in t. You ought to be and
must re studious to bend y urself in
the right direction. We know a great
mny things partially; but we ought to
know the word of God thoroughly and
give to It the best hours of tbe day.
You must be pastors; but at the
sime time your paetoral work must not
iuterfrre with the time given to
studying G: d'a word. When you
have studied four or five hours a day
you have studied about as much as an
average man cin study in twenty four
hours. Study systematically. You
can give fme to your pastoral work.
and nave time at nome at cignito at-
tend to the wan's of your families
S -rae preachers don't stay enoagh
with their wives and children they are
not enougn at nomo. iet some good
maa lead evening meetings
other ti:a:i
the regular weeaiy and Sunday meet-
ings while you stay" at home with j
wives and children. Some preachers
are a' work every night and let their i
children go to the djvil. Stay at home '
more and read to the wife aod children. !
S 'tne men are so anxious to save oib-
; ers that they lose s'giit of their own.
i
j No" only hi studious but b i industri-'
' ous in other ways. A Methodist preach- ;
&r canno' aff jrd to be lazy. Be willing !
j to work in any way as your services
are r. quired. I have been in charge :
oi a cnurcn wnere i rang the bell in
addition to preaching.
Don't be asham-
lto do any kind of
work. Glorify
your Lord. B 3 industrious and faith
iful in your work.
Tomorrow will beabu v day in the
way of pleaching and on M indav the
app liutmeuts are expected to be given
out. . .
AFTER BRYAN'S SCA' P.
The
Republicans Trying to
Carry Nebraska.
FIGHTING GREAT ODDS.
It Looks a Forlorn Hope But the Ee-
publicaus Will Make Extra Effort
to Defeat the Silverites in Nebras-
ka to Give Bryan a BJack Eye.
WASHiXGTON.October 2. Although
the election in Nebraska this year is
only for tbe judge of supreme court
yet great interest ia manifested in the
result by the administration and its
backers. Could the republicans secure '
a victory even in this apparently off
year it would be a source of intense
satisfaction to the president cabinet
and na'ional chairman Mark Hanna
in particular. Nebraska being the
home of Bryan that gentlemen would
get a blackeye. The-e is "a complete
fusion between democrats populists
and silver republicans in Nebraska.
rhe republican are runningja straight
ticket and tbe gold democrats have
pus out a ticket their prominent no
minee being Hon. J. Sterling . Morton.
The best posted men believe the gold
democrats will not poll over 5000 votes
in Nebraska hence they will cut no
figure. Leading republicans do not
hesitate to say that if the republicans
can win Hanna and tbe president will
be delighted. They regard Bryan as
the dqos. dangerous man tbe party has
and defeat in his own state is wanted
badly. Senator Thurston assured Han-
na that with the proper exertion Ne-
braska can be redeemed but friends of
Air. .Bryan think be is watching the
opposition closely and tbe republicans
will not catch his party napping.
Out Door Athletic Exercises Close.
New York October 2. The out
