BEYER, *HY8ICIAN AND 8UBQE0N, The statistical report shows a gain of over 1,000 memberB, there being now over 34,000 members in full connection, and over 2,000 probationers in the Erie Confer- J. E. Brown. The conference has been one of rare in • terest throughout. The debates have been dignified and instructive. The Sabbath services were of spocial interest. Tba love-feast began at 9 a. in., and was deeply spiritual throughout. At 10:30 a. m. Bishop Mallelien preached to a congregation that orowded into every inch of available space. The sermon was deeply spiritual and of rare power. The audience was moved to tears and sobs. Aniens and hallelujahs rang through the house and when the Bishop predicted the downfall of the rum-power in his eloquent manner, such a demonstration took place as we never nw before in a ohurch gathering. Shouts rang through the house, and men and women could Bcarely refrain from leaping to their feet. If anyone thinks that Methodism has lost its power they should have attended this conferenoe. The conference began on the morning of Wednesday, September 10, Bishop Mallalien, of New Orleans, presiding. A large number of distinguished persons visited the conference, the following being among them: Bishop Thobnrn, of India, Rev E. M. Lang, Bnrmah, Chaplain MoCabe, of New York, Dr. Eaton, of the "Book Concern, " of New Xork, Dr. Morrow, of American Bible Society; Jane Bancroft, representing the Deaconess movement, Mrs. Oldham, returned missionary from India, Rev. D. Wheeler, of Allegheny College Rev. Dr. Clarke, of New York, Rev. Mo- Laughlin, of New Orleans, Rev. McGerald, of Buffalo, and many others. M. E. CONFEBENCE. A rnrJTMwkrOMWka was Present. Oil City, Pa., September 15.—Oil City where the Clarion District M. E. oonferenoe hat recently been in session, is a elty of 11,000 inhabitants. The diaoovery of oil not far from the cite of the city jnst before the war, and the development of that industty gave rise to this booming town which soon became the center of the oil producing interest. The oity was visited once by flood in 1863, which swept away five million dollars' worth of property, and still later a destructive fire destroyed property to'the amount of one million dollars more. Yet Phoeuix-like, the city rose from its ashes and rebuilt, and to-day Is a prosperous oity. There are thirteen ohurohes in the city, many of them being of fine architecture. Trinity M. E. church where the conference sessions were held, is a very fine bniUling, costing about $42,- 000, and seats about 1,000 persons. „ 8. C.

In the New York Clipper the above Wild Wert was advertized to show in Newark, N. J., the week preceding our fair, and at Punxsutawney, Pa., September 1C to 19. This certainly shows that they considered themselves under contract to be and perform here. Thuriday noon the secretary sent a telegram to the Clipper asking why the show had not come, and requested an answer. None wil received. Oa Wednesday Mr. Wilson telegraphed the Clipper asking if the contract had been cancelled, and if so, by whom. Mo reply was received to this. Farther than this telegrams were sent along the railroad to discover if they were anywhere along the line, bnt nothing could be learned. Miike 350 Clear Chas. G. Ernst, Secretary.

It is a pity for some would-be competitors who have made assertions to the effect that they had the only one price clothing store in Punxsutawney. Why, God bless you, don't you know you might as well try to make the people of the county believe that you was the savior of tbe world. We don't blow our own horn. Let other men praise thee and not thy own lips. It is now nearly four years since we opened the first one price store in Punxsutawney, and it is not necessary to say that the one Who referred to us as being drunk, has not had one price more than two years. We don't say that we are the only one price clothiers, but we do say that the man that advertises himself the only one Erice clothier, is a liar. He takes this method to injure us. ut we have to !augh. Ignorance is all that ails such people. They are to be pittied for tney don't know any better. Our success has been wonderful. And it is only by lair, honest dealing that we have built up such a wonderful trade. Our reputation for handling the host clothing that comes to Punxsutawney was not made by blowing or trying to injure our neighbor, but by fair, square, honest and honorable dealing with our fellow menj We invite everybody who comes to visit the fair to call and see us whether they want to buy or not.

The proprietors and bookkeepir-i of the hotel then took a position behind him, and while Johnstone turned the knob of the safe they were requested to think of the combination. Without touching either of the gentlemen the mind reader turned correctly to the numbers and swung the door open. The crowd which witnessed the act cheered him repeatedly. Johnstone declares that his idea in opening the safe under such peculiar conditions was to simply prove that man actually possesses more than live senses and thut science is in er through erowded streets attracted such a wide attention, performed another feat today which to all appearances totally disproves the the theory that man possesses only five senses, and also the belief that mind-reading is really a specie of muscle reading. Johnstone opened a difficult combination safe in the presenoe of many well known people at the Wellington Hotel, and under the following remarkable circumstances. He was first blindfolded anil the bandages thoroughly examined by a committee. His ears were packed with cotton, ho itjwas impossible for him to hear, then his nostrils were similarly filled to destroy, for the time being, the sense of smell, and finally his hand? were covered with thick gloves to disprove the theory of muscle reading. In his mouth he held a Chicago, Sept, 18.—Paul A.
