Should an accident befall the vehicle

paroxysm of grief computo the loss
and tell In moving accents of his wife
and children whoso bread will bo taken
from their mouths by this mishap says
itho Pittsburgh Dispatch

them ho is insured He pays a small
monthly premium to a cab Insurance
company and In tho case of a smashup

timation that you are awaro of this cir-
cumstance will do wonders to console
him There was in days gone by a
cabman who made such a good thing
out of acctdens that hoended by adopt-

Ho conflnod his labors to those quar-
ters of the town chiefly affected by tho
English and his system was to pick up
a benevolent English tourist tby prefer-
ence a lady and break a shaft He
knew a method of turning a corner
which no shaft could resist
Then ho would beat his breast and
shake his fist at heaven call upon tho
universe to witness that hq was a poor

METHODIST WOMEN
ABOUT TO WIN THKIR SUFFRAGE
FIQHT
In tho General Conference It It Calcu-
lated Tlint at L n t Ihrosfourtlu of
tho Delegates Will Vote For Their
Admission Mentlinont Strong
New York April IC Tho Ilorad
yoaterday morning s ld
Tho last thice annual conferences of
the Methodist church a 111 be held pre-
vious to the meeting of the general con-
ference on liny 1 will beglu this week
In widely separated dlstiiets One will
bo tho Troy J > Y conference tho sec-
ond Is tho Maine conference the third
Is tho North Dakota conference With
the completion of the work of theso
bodies It will be determined whether
the genorn conlcrcncc will have any-
thing to do wMIi the question of wo-
man milfingo nsmpplled to tho admis-
sion of women as delegates to tlio cen-
tral and quadrennial assembly
From tho advices received by tho
Methodist book eoncftn fiom nl parts
of the country It would seem that tho
women have wou jij > relmlnary vic-
tory Iiij tlio annual conference J mid that
all that Is needed to secure them tho
fruits of their long strugglo will bo
success In the general confeiencee Tho
constitution requires that un vote on
subjects similar to the change In rep-
resentation In tho nnnunl conferences
shall be dielded by a hteofouiths
majority
The Methodist book concern has pre-
pared n table showing tho result of the
voting in the spiliig annual coufcr
ences on the threo subjects iwhich will
have to be decided next mouth These
propositions are
1 To ailtoml tho second restrictive
rule so that the nincnded clause shall
lead Nor of more than two lay del-
egates for an annual conference and
said delegates must be male mem-
bers
2 To amend the second restrictive
rule so that the amended clause shall
read Xor of more than two delegates
for an annual conference and said del-
egates may bo men or women
3 To substitute slxtyflvo for
fottyflve in tho paragraph of the
discipline describing tho basis of min
Istcilal representation v > i
Jihlijrnjrtrom tlnrslityvlhg hlmlc In
thlstabletheconf iliicesin favor of tho
admission of women needs only a few
more votes to give them the tluee
fourths majority Those favoring tho
admission of women believe they nro
almost certain to get theso and so will
btlng tho matter directly before tho
general conference In that assembly
It Is believed In the Methodist book
concern they nro almost certain to
win because with few exceptions tho
lay members aro In favor of tho piop
osltlon to admit women
As though to bring tho matter to an
Issuo thtee conferences have already
chosen women delegates and will de-
mand recognition One of these dele-
gates Is Mrs Jane W Bashford wife
of President Bashfoid of Wesleyan
college Sho Was chosen by tho Ohio
conference Her husband will go to the
general oonfo rcnco fiom Ohio and will
ho called upon to vote upon his wifes
eligibility Miss Lydla L Tiiuible Is
another delegato elected from China
and Mrs E W Parker and Mrs V
Butcher are from India where their
husbands are mlsslonailos Their hus-
bands aro also delegates to the confer-
ence
There ls a very general fesltug In tho
book c6ncen that while the conserva-
tives will le certain to oppose these la-
dles admission to tho conference ns
delegates ou the ground that they had
been Illegally elected the conferouce
will seat them and penult tjiem to en-
ter Into Its councils
It Is said that the Bentlmcnt regard-
ing church woman suffrage is so sttong
that there Is little doubt that those pio-
neers will not only win their victory
but that their sisters In a fight for a
general recognition will also be victo-
rious

Madrid April 1G Tho Spaniards
are so much engrossed In their elec-
tions that only a fow papers havo com-
mented upon tho appointment of Gen-
eral FlUhugh Lee as consul general to
Havana
El Imparclal alone In a telegram
from Washington challenges tho expe-
diency of tho selection of such a rep-
resentative by l President Cleveland
However General Leo will certainly bo
granted tho ordinary consular exche-
quer by tho Mahild government un-
less tho Spanish minister at Washing-
ton finds giouhds upon which to object
to his appointment
The coloulalYuthoiItles In Cuba will
also afford General Leo all thofacili
ties usually granted to foreign consuls
within customary limits of their con-
sular missions and duties General
Weyler alone can determine how far
the now American consul gcneinl can
bo allowed to go over Cuba or tepoit

Many of tho Madrid papers asked

tho ministerial press again deny that
President Cleveland has taken any
steps by note or otherwise to sound
the English government about Cuba
