Ashveille. N. C-, Way 3. --Prow all
part? of tfc* country wh?ro there la a
conference of the Methodist Episcopal '
Church. South, delegates have poured 1
Into the elty today for the Quadren- 1
nlal General Conference, which be- '
gins Its three weeks' session tosior- 1
row morning at 9 o'clock.
Bishop* Wilson, Hendricks. Key.
Candler, Morrison, Hoes and Atkins
are here, but Bishop Pitsgerald, It Is {
feared, will not arrive, as he Is very
feeble. Fourteen extra Pullmans
have arrived in (he city, each with Its ,
full quota. Qolng several miles opt
from Asheville, each train was board- ,
ed by a reception committee and the ,
handling of the delegates was thus ,
greatly facilitated.
The headquarters of the confer
ence are at the Battery Park Hotel
where all of the bishops and conne$
tlonal officers and about two hundred 1
of the delegates are stopping. The
delegates of the North Carolina and
Western North Carolina conferences
arrived today and are at the Battery
Park Hotel. Everything Is In readi
? ness for the opening session.
The address of Bishop Wilson, con
curred In by all the other bishops,
will be delivered at the morning ses
sion and It is expected that besides
discussing the history of the church.
Its progrees In recent yeafs, etc., he
will touch upon Bome of (he more im
portant questions that will come up .
for discussion. His address will
probably contain a recommendation
as. to the number of bishops the con
ference should elect.
A meeting of the Board of plica
tion of the church was held this aN
ternoon and their Yeport complied la I
to be made to the conference.
N? Toadying.
Among the good old troys of "merrte
England" Is tbe tendency to demoCTScy
prevailing in her boys' schools. ? Par
ents can be assure*!, it is* said, that no
pampering will Mil, to the lot of their
sons, however exalted may be their
rank or great their possessions. An
English pap^r tells the story of an
i Indian official of high rank calling
j upon the bouse master in a famous
! public school, where a young prince,
i sou of u rajah, was being educated,
j This official brought a special message
I from bis master, the rajah, to the ef
; feet I bat he wanted no favors or ex
j ceptionnl treatment of any w>rt ex
: tended to his son on account of bis ex
? alted birth.
; "You may set tbe mind of I he rajah
at rest on tlmt score." said the house
master, struggling to keep back bis
smile before the dignified anxiety of
tbe Indiau official. "If the authorities
were inclined to discriminate In the
prlncc's favor, the boys of the school
would set tbe matter right. Among
them generally t lie rajah's son an
swers to ihe name of 'Nigger,' and I
understand that with bis intimates he
1* familiarly. known as *Coai Seattle.'"
Sinister Motives.
Two men - William Jone-^ and John
Smith? were neighbors and deadly en
emies. They often crossed swords in
court and out of it. and Jone*, being
what might be called more clever than
Smith, invariably got the better of tbe
encounter. In tbe end so cowed was
Smith that the slightest move on ths
part of Jones made him nervous and
auspicious, and with the remark, "I
wonder what object he bas^ln this?"
be called up all his re;er^rYacultles to
combat the fresh attack which poor
Jones never contemplated.
One day a friend called on 8mlth and
greeted him with:
"Well, old man, have you beard lbs
news*'
"No," sild Smith. "Whit news 7*
"Jones Is dead. He died last night
at midnight." replied ths other.
Smith paused, drew a hard breath,
raised his baud to his .forehead sail
thought, then blurted oat:
"Dead, did you s?y? Jones dead!

Mrs.- Plnfcerton's first question wo

THE BLACK BASS.
Mysterious Habits of the Fish Thst
Puzzle the Naturalist.
Why the black bnss bites on one day
?nd refuses every bait the next; why
he takes helgrstiiltos and only hel
gra mites on Monday, gratishopiiers on
Tuesday and frogs on Wednesday;
why he bites only on dark days for a
fortnight and tben shifts his biting
humor to (lays bright and breezy; why
you fiud Li 1 in today on sandy botton
nud tomorrow on mud and tbe day
after on the rocks, ure baffling traits
of tbe bass that relate merely to bis
sporting relations with the angler.
But there ate other mysteries that
puzzle the .naturalist aud bear on the
organic life of tbe flsh.
Up in Maine are two bass rivers not
far apart. In one tbe flsh run often
to four, even to Ave. pounds; in tbe
other rarely above a pound and a half.
In one of tbe largest lakes of New
Hampshire the writer's score for a
whole season on?*e niQ up lo 39ft flsh.
Food was evidently abundant, for the
bass were "chunky" and tbe vlscares
thick with fatty tissues. Yet the post
mortem showed In tlie stomach only
glutinous, unrecognizable white mat
ter. and the largest bass of tbe whole
season drew the scales st.but a pontic
and three-quarters. What did those
bass live on. and why didn't they grow
bigger? Again, in the uplands of Con
necticut are two large lakes some eight
miles apart. In the one bass are of
ten caught In winter lee fishing: In
tbe other lake almost never In winter,
though In Its open summer waters
bass fishing Is tbe better. Remember
ing that Ibe bass are supposed to hi
bernate and In fairly deep waters,
would not that fact argue In tbe late
sesson darker oetwgrd hues and deep
er bronzes? Yet the hesd of s large
bass hatchery has observed s silvery
chsnge of the bass at the approach of
winter when his habit and habitat

The more people know of the n#w
remedy, Root Juice, the more con
rtnced are they of the wonderful mer
its of the discovery. Scores of people
have bought It at Hardy's drug store,
and after using It a short while they
pre so loud In praise of It that their
neighbors are going to the store In
such crowds for <ihe medicine It Is
hard tp keep It In stock. Testimonials
are being piled upon testimonials
from ejery direction and many are
buying the Juice because It Is doing
so much good for some neighbor or
relative. Rooot- Juice has certainly
created a great sensation over In
Greensboro, N. C. Mr. John 8pratt
said: "I suffered a long time with a
very pslnful kidney and blsdder trou
ble, hsd to get up every fifteen or
twenty minutes during the night. I
would sometimes so suffer with my
back and kidneys that I would have
to walk the floor for hours at a time.
I began taking Root Juice when It]
was first Introduced here, and after
taklng-'lt a short time I Iwsh to say
for the benefit of roy'frlends and oth
ers who suffer ss I did, that I am now
free from all pain aij4 rest well at
qlght. I am rapidly regaining
strength and am much improved In
every way." MY. Oscar Green, of the
same point, R. R. No. 3, said: "Be
fore taking Root Juice I had very bad
stomach trouble of long standing.
After eating 9 'meal 1 telt like I had
knots or rocks In the pit of my stom
ach. I bloated very much and had a
burning in my stomach that pained
me very much and caused me to b<*
very nervous, but the first dose of
Root Juice 1 took soothed my stom
ach and caused me to feel better, and
after taking the great medicine a
short while I can eat anything with
out suffering for it." We are told
that the people at the drug store are
glad to give any information within
their power In relation to the remedy.
The Juice is now on sale for $1 a bct
