North Texas Normal College.
Denton, Texas, May 23.—The com-
mencement exercises of the North
Texas State Normal college at this
place have been attracting a great
deal of mterest among the patrons of
the school and Among the residents of
the town of Denton as well. Some
•light changes were made in the pro-'
grain as it was originally arranged,
owing to a disappolnrment in the ar-
rival of seats for the new auditor-
ium.
A decided feature of the exercises
was the baccalaureate sermon delivered
Sunday morning at 11 o’clock by Rev.
John M. Moore. Ph. D.. of Dallas. There
was an audience presef on this occa-
sion of more than a thousand people,
and the sermon was a masterpiece of
oratory. What lent and added interest
to this sermon was the fact of which
many were cognizant, that the speak-
er was a number of years ago a mem-
ber of the faculty of the college.
Yesterday morning at 11 o’clock Hon.
Norman G. Kittrell of Houston deliv-
ered an able address, fittingly pre-
pared for the occasion, and in itself
one of the grandest eulogies to the
institutions and enterprises of the state
of Texas ever delivered in Denton. The
able and intensely patriotic speaker
held the immense audience spellbound
for fully an hour and won the hearts
as well as the unqualified applause
of the large number of people pres-
ent.
The members of the graduating class
for the current year held an allumni
meeting Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock
and elected the following officers: Jeff
F. Montgomery, president; R. C. Camp-
bell. vice president; Miss Julia Luker,
corresponding secretary: Miss McCam-
mon, recording secretary.

tee on foreign correspondence which
was adopted.
The committee on bills and overture $
made a partial report which was
adopted. Most of the overtures reTa to
to the construction of laws of the as-
sembly.
In answer to the overtures of the
Pine Bluff Presbytery asking the as-
sembly to enjoin the committee in th®
publication of the catechism and otha"
Sunday school literature with what is
commonly called the Apostles creec.
the committee reported that such re-
quest be denied.
The same action was taken with re-
gard to the overture from the Presby-
tery of Nashville asking that th ex-
pense of entertaining commissioners at
meetings of the general assembly be
borne by the general assembly.
The following special order was
made: flhursday. 8 p. m., foreign mis-
stons."/1he standing committee on home
missions to whom was referred by the
assembly of 1903 an overture from the
Green Brier presbytery as to the min-
isters without* charges and vacant
churches, made a lengthy report on the
subject showing that the whole num-
ber of churches reported to the pres-
bytery of 1903 was 3.044, of whieh 29
per cent ws marked as vacant, due to
various causes; as regards the minis-
ters without charges it finds two
causes, disease and infirmity. Of 1,517
ministers in the assembly, reports of
1903. 6 per cent were without charges.
At the night session the special or-
der was ministerial relief. The meet-
ing was called to order by Rev. Dr. Mc-

dresses were made by Judge S. M. Shel-

Four hours of today’s session was

A motion by Dr. B. x M. Buckley to
proceed to ballot for a successor to Dr.
J. R. Day, resigned, was defeated and
the conference voted to postpone indefi-
nitely the further election of general
superintendents.
The most sensational incident in the
Methodist general conference occurred
this morning in the resignation of
Bishop James R. Day of Syracuse. N.
Y. His resignation was accepted by
th® conference. The conference then
voted to Indefinitely postpone the elec-
tion of a successor to Dr. Day on the
episcopal board, and this acton was
taken to mean that there will be no
balloting for an eighth bishop by this
conference and that the board will re-
main as at present constituted.
In resigning, Bishop Day asked per-
mission df the conference to retire from
further -attendance. . The resignation
came as a profound surprise to every
one except a few friends, with whom
Bishop Day had consulted regarding his
determinatien, and his statement which
preceded his action was listened to by
the delegates and crowded galleries with
intense interest.
"I do not believe," said Dr. Day, "that
any man in the conference will charge
me with disloyalty to my conscience and
to my God. I believe that every one
will concede that I am actuated by hon-
est motives and that I am fulfilling my
duty in taking the action I am about to
take. I wish to make it clear that

ner related to Sperintendent W. M.

to meet in this city and assuring the
members that everything possible
would be done to make thm have a
most enjoyable time.
The members of the state association
of Elks are a jolly lot of fellows and
a lot who spend money freely. The
attendance in Galveston is quite large
and every man there will on an aver-
age leave at least 325 In the city. In
fact those who are Elks say that even
this is too small an amount. In fact,
the concensus of opinion among Elks
is that $50 per delegate and visitor
will be a nearer approximation.
Should the Elks decide to meet here
in 1905 a large fund could be easily
raised for their entertainment. The lo-
cal lodge of Elks will not, of course,
be expected to do more than take the
lead. As has been the case in Galves-
ton, where nearly every business firm
has contributed to the fufd, so will it
be the case here.
Assurances have been received from
Galveston that the association is anx-
ious to come here next year. Such
being the case the invitations sent yes-
terday should secure the convention.
In addition to the two invitations, C.
O. Elliott, exalted ruler of the Fort
Worth lodge of Elka, also wired a
pressing invitation for the Elks to
meet here in 1905^

Though houses must be cleaned, no

Of rugless floors disturbs my mind.
A radiant maiden looks at me
And often sighs bewitchingly
While I dictate. I’m glad to be

Triangle Rate.
"The triangle rate from Texas points
to points in Colorado and the World’s
Eair is proving one of the most at-
tractive rate combnatlons that has
I ever been put on,” said George Pente-
cost, traveling passenger agent of the
Cotton Belt, who Was in the city yes-
’ terday. "I believe that hundreds of
people will go to Colorado from Texas
I this season' on account of the World's
| Fair. As has been published several
I times, the triangle rate is arrived at
I by adding together the rate to Denver,
or any other point in Colorado where
the party desires to go, plus $2, the
rate from Denver to St. Louis and 80
per cent of the double local rate from
Texas to St. Louis. Divide th® result
by two and you will have the rate
that will enable one to go from Texas
to St Fonis and then out to Colorado,
and it is but very little more than the
rate from Texas to the fair.”
At the eleventh hour Fort Worth
shook off a lethargy that apparentjy

ed a most energetic campaign to secure

Trouble Was Caused by Railroad Own-
ers Wantiug Too Much.
"There is less complaint by the cat-
tle shippers on the service that is be-
ing given them today than has been,
the case in four years,"" said a gen-
eral livestock agent yesterday. "All
the •grouchy' talk tht one hears cow-
men making is about the service that
was given from, say 1901 to-this spring.
I will venture the assertion that dur-
ing this period, when the tonnage sys-
tem was wildly rampant, the railroads
paid out mor® in settlement of damage
claims by 100 per cent than they saved
in operating expenses. After all the
Texas transportation men were not re-
sponsible for the conditions. The men
in New-York, who sat in their offices
and toyed with the purse strings, de-
manded ypre of the operating men
than could be economically accom-
plished.
"For on® I am glad that the cattle-
men have made a mighty howl. If it
is any consolation to them to know
that their cry for relief has been heard
by the powers that be, why then they
have that consolation. It was only
when the claims began to pinch at the
pocketbooks that there was e thor-
ough awakening to actual conditions in
the transportation of cattle.”
