AVilmington, N. C., Dec. B.—The day dawned bright and clear yesterday, the air was bracing and such as generally delights the church-goer, but a pall seemed to rest not only over every one attending the conference, but the entire city, for the word passed from house to house that during the night Rev. AV. C. Norman —perhaps the most beloved and popular member of the conference had passed away. lie had spent four years of his min istry in this city and was loved and es teemed by its people as few men who have ever lived here. Feeling allusion was made to his sudden demise at nearly every service. At the conference room at 9:30 the love-feast began under the leadership of the venerable father, A. D. Betts* and was a very precious service to all who were privileged to attend. At 11 o’clock Bishop A. Coke Smith preached a sermon of great force and earnestness from St. Matthew xvi: 13-19. His subject was “The Church,” and in part he said: “A short time before this our Lord had reached the zenith of His popularity as a public teacher. He preached the greatest missionary sermon ever preached to the world when He fed the five thousand men, besides women and children, with the five loaves and two fishes. “He took His disciples away from the crowd that would have made Him king, and there in that quiet place, while there He announced the establishment of His church. “The church, as He established it, was determin'd by character alone. This be ing true. He gives us the points necessary to this character. First, a correct con ception of Jesus Christ is necessary. Christianity is never larger thau the con ception of Christ. “There must also be the revelation of Christ before there can be the right con ception of Him. “Man cannot come to the proper con ception of Christ without time and oppor tunity. The conception we have of Christ must be our own. “Reason reveals some things to us, but there Is a revelation of Christ we can get only through the heart. “Reason never looks forward, hence we must have the faith revelation which looks into the future and conies through the heart alone. “You cannot know men until you love them. You caunot save men by reason but by love. You know God only as you love Him. Christ founded the church upon the proper conception of Himself and not upon members or organization. “Christianity always precedes th<' church. A church thus founded has power. “AVhon you love men, you will want to save them and not until then. “Finally the church thus founded will stand forever. The foundation is sure and it cannot be shaken by any earthly power, and it w'ill go forward to victory.” At the conclusion of the sermon the Bishop ordained Revs. Joseph E. Holding, George R. Rood, AA’m. Henry Brown, Eu gene M. Snipes, and Charles A. Jones as deacons, being assisted in the solemn ser vice by Revs. B. R. Hall and AV. H. Moore. The memorial service in the afternoon was especially sad owing to the recent death of Rev. AA r . C. Norman, whose me moir was read by Rev. J. N. Cole. The memoir of Rev. R. J. Moorman was read by Rev. L. L. Nash, D. D., and that of Rev. G. O. Green by Rev. AV. H. Moore, D. D. The tributes to the departed brethren were touching, and as one after another spoke of the virtues and good do<uls of the fallen brethren and particu larly of Mr. Norman, there wore few dry eyes in the large congregation. The communion was administered at the close of the memorial service. At the evening hour there was a most excellent sermon by Rev. P. H. AA’hisnor, D. D., of Louisville. Rev. Dr. Jno. C. Kilgo spoke at 5 p. m. at the Y. M. C. A. hall and at 7:30 de livered a discourse at Fifth Street church from Ist Cor. 11:1, which is considered one of the strongest and most original ever heard here. At the close of the sermon the class of elders were ordained by Bishop Smith, who was assisted by’ Rev. Drs. A’ates, Kilgo and Rvs. AV. L Cunninggim. G. A. Oglesby and R. A. Willis. NeAvark Sails for Culebra. (By the Associated Press.) AVasbington. D. C., Dec. B.—The cruiser Newark left New York yesterday for Culebra to join Rear Admiral Cognlan’s Caribbean division. Under special in structions from the Navy Department, tlie Newark on her way south will keep a sharp lookout for the two naval coal barges which got adrift from the Prairie a few- weeks ago and have been missing since. Two other barges were sent from Norfolk yesterday in tow of the tug Potomac, bound for Culebra, where they will be used in coaling the fleet engaged in manoeuvres. IMMIGRATION BILL 111 THE OFFER HOUSE The Senate Adopts Committee Amendments. AN EXECUTIVE SESSION The House Pays an Fxtraordinary Tribute to the Memory of Forrwr Speaker Reed, Passing in His Honor and Adjourning, (By the Associated Press.) AA’ashington, Dec. 8. —With but little discussion the Senate today adopted all the committee amendments to the Im migration bill with the exception of one prescribing an educational test, and the bill was laid aside until tomorrow, in order that a number of unobjected pen sion bills might be passed. The amendment fixing a three dollar head tax on each immigrant coming into the United States furnished the prin cipal topic for debate. Mr. Gallinger in sisted that there was no more necessity for it now than there was a year ago. It finally was adopted without debate. A neyv amendment was added designed to stop the alleged perjury on the part of persons seeking admission to the United States, and the committee amendment making the head tax a lien on the prop erty of the transportation lines bringing immigrants to the United States was stricken out. An amendment also was agreed to, exempting from the tax aliens in transit through the United States and aliens once admitted and who have paid the tax. After an executive session the Senate adjourned until tomorrow. IN HONOR OF IX-SPEAB.ER REED. The House cf Representatives Passes Resolu tions and Adjourns. (By the Assoiated Press.) Washington, D. 0., Dec. 8. —The House today raid a reYdSTcWablc tribute to the memory of ex-Sneaker Thomas B. Reed. His death had created a profound im pression, and there was a universal de sire among the members that the House show a signal mark of respect to his memory’. For the House to take action on the death of a former member had only three precedents in its history, namely, on the occasions of the death of Benton, Blaine and Alexander Stevens, when the House adopted resolutions and adjourned out of respect to their mem ories. It w’as decided to follow’ those precedents in the case of Mr. Reed. The chaplain, at the opening of the session, paid a feeling reference to the death of the ex-Speaker. No business Avas trans acted beyond the formal reading of two from the President and an arrangements to postpone the special order for today—the London Dock Charge Bill—until tomorrow. Mr. Sherman (N. A'.) then, amid pro found silence, arose, and in a few feeling remarks, offered the following resolu tion: “Resolved. That the following minute be spread upon the record of the House of Representatives: Hon. Thomas Brackett Reed died in Washington, De cember 7, 1902. For twenty-two years he had been a member of this House: for six years its Speaker. His service terminated with the Fifty-fifth Congress. AA’ithin this Chamber, the scene of his life’s greatest activities was laid. Here he rendered services to his country which placed him in the front rank of American statesmanship. Here he ex hibited characteristics which compelled 'respect and won admiration. Forceful ability, intrinsic worth, strength of char acter, brought him popular fame and Congressional leadership. In him depth and breadth of intellect, w’ith a full and well rounded development, had produced a giant who tow’ered above his fellow’s and impressed them with his power and his wdsdom. “A distinguished statesman; a lofty patriot; a cultured scholar: an incisive writer; a unique orator; an unmatched debator; a master of logic, wit, satire; the most famous of the world’s parlia mentarians; the great and representative citizen of the American Republic has gone into history. “Resolved, That, in honor of the dis tinguished dead, the House do now ad journ.” AVhen the reading of the resolutions had been concluded, Speaker Henderson asked if there was objection to their present consideration. The silence re mained unbroken. The resolutions then were unanimously adopted and according ly at 12:15 the Speaker declared the House adjourned out of respect to the memory of Mr. Feed. McCalmont Drops Dead. (By the Associated Press.) London, Dec. B.—Harry McCalmont, the well known sportsman and Conservative member of Parliament for Newmarket, dropped dead today as he was leaving his residence here. Mr. McCalmont ap parently was in his usual health as he ,passed out of the door, but before he reached the sidewalk he fell and died al most instantly, supposedly’ of heart dis ease. Mr. McCalmont was the owner of Isinglass, the horse which won the derby in 1893. The deceased was an inti mate friend of King Edward, and was very popular generally. He was w’orth in Mews and $20,000,000, which he inherited from a great-uncle. Mr. McCalmont was so like King Ed ward when the latter was Prince of Wales, that he used frequently to be ad dressed as “Your Royal Highness.” The King was to have been the guest of Mr. McCalmont next week.

La.. Dec. B.—Three hun dred delegates and visitors to the 30th annual convention of the American Uub lic Health Association and constituent bodies are in the city today and their programme of business and entertainment will extend over the next five days. The first meeting of the annual session was that of the bacteriological branch of the association. Dr. A\ r . F. Asbrook, of. Minneapolis, chairman of the section of bacteriology and chemistry, presided over the meeting today, which opened with a report of the committee on stand ard methods of water analy’sis in which the section is deeply interested.

G. Horton. The main convention will open Tues day morning. UNIVERSITY FOOT-BALL MANAGER College Campus is Quiet and Students “Cram” and “Bona.” (Special to the New’s and Observer.) Chapel Hill, N. C., Dec. 8. —At the final meeting of football team held Saturday afternoon Mr. G. L Jones, known in football circles as “Bully,” was unani mously elected captain of the football eleven for 1903. Mr. Jones was left guard on last year’s team and his playing was of the gilt-edge order. This year in the absence of Council, Coach Oleott found in Jones the material for an excellent tackle, and long before the supreme struggle with A’irginia every one became convinced of the wisdom of the selection. Mr. Jones is a hard worker, a good or ganizer and is in every w’ay worthy to wear the mantle of his predecessors. A wonderful change in college life has manifested itself within the last week. The college campus, just a few days ago the scene of joy and mirth, has suddenly become deserted, and every thing has assumed a lifeless position. Bill McDade and Henry Smith, like the Sophomores of old, have absolute posses sion of the campus and little are they disturbed in their acts of dominion. The cause of this transformation from life to seeming death to thise familiar with University life and customs is in deed plain. Examinations—the product of fertile brains—will be in full blast Friday, and every one, especially those who have been negligent in the perform ance of their duties, has settled down to "cram ’ and the watchward has become “AVhat I say unto you 1 say unto all, Bone lest you perish.” Prominent Citizen Dead.

The news cf the sudden death of Rev. AV. C. Norman, published exclusively in the News and Observer in Raleigh on Sunday morning, w r as read with deep re gret by the people of this city. Os the thirty years of his ministry, twelve had been spent in Raleigh, where he was be loved by members of all churches and thr»3e who are members of no church.

On Sunday after noon, when the body passed through Raleigh, a large number of his friends were at the depot to pay respect to him and to send lloral tributes. Edenton Street Methodist church and Sunday School sent a handsome floral design. It was not generally known when the funeral was to be held in Durham, or the attendance would have been larger.

In the News and Observer of Sunday morning appeared all that was possible to obtain from Wilmington concerning the death of Rev. AA r . C. Norman, which DR. AV. C. NORMAN. occurred in AVilmington shortly before one o’clock that morning. The AVilming ton Messenger contains the following de tails concerning the death of a man who was loved wherever known, and whose twelve years pastorate of the two Meth odist churches in Raleigh had peculiarly endeared him to the people of this city. The Messenger of Sunday morning says: "The people of Wilmington and the members of the Methodist Conference now assembled in this city will be shocked this morning to learn of the sudden death of the Rev. AV. C. Norman, of Durham, who has been here since Tuesday night to attend the conference. Mr. Norman has been the guest of Mr. A. C. Craft, at 21S North Seventh street, and has been daily attending the sessions of conference. He was out as usual yesterday at the forenoon session which took a recess at 1 p. in. He then dined with Mr. AV. E. Springer and his company at his residence, No. ?14 North Seconl street, and was about as usual in the afternoon. Last evening w’hen lie w’ent back to Mr. Craft’s he said he was not feeling well and would not go out last night. He did not eat supper, but was cheerful as usual and sat and talked with me family till 10 p. m. and then retired. At 12:30 o’clock this morning, the Rev. J. D. Pegram, of Oxford, who was sleeping in the room with Mr. Nor man, called Mr. H, G. Walsh and told b m Mr. Norman was quite sick and suf fering a great deal. Mr. Walsh went to Mr. Norman's bedside and rubbed him and got him some warm water. He complained of an awful pain in his chest, and that the pain sometimes went dowm his arm. He said he believed he had a chill as his feet w’ere cold and he felt chilly. Mr. AValsh hurried out for Dr. I). W. Bulluck anil they were back in a few’ minutes, but it was not five minutes af ter the doctor reached Mr. Norman that he died. He breathed his last at ten minutes to 1 o’clock this morning. Dr. Bulluck pronounced heart failure as the cause of death. This sad news will wring the hearts of our people with sorrow this beautiful Sunday morning, for no man was ever more beloved by the Methodists and peo ple generally of Wilmington than w’as Ihis good man. After having served Grace church here for four years, ho left seven years ago, filled the appoint ment at Edenton four years, and for the past three years has been pastor of Trin ity rhurch, at Durham. He would have been sent back there by this conference for his fourth year. It is dreadfully painful for us to re cord this 3udd'n end of the useful life of Mr. Norman. He was one of the [ablest and most acceptable ministers In ♦♦♦♦♦♦4+444+ 444445r444* i THE WEATHER TO-DAY. 4 4 For Raleigh: | FAIR. | ♦44444444444 *444444444 ""ICJi FI Vi. CJC’TS.
