The London Conference.
REV. Mlt. RIGSBBY, 010 BLYTH,
ELECTED PRESIDENT.
Chatham, Ont., June 3.—The third
day's meeting of the conference open-
ed at 9 a. m. hlev. J. Gallaway pre-
sented a report a the Committee on
the Rearrangement of Circuits, who
found that five young men could be dis-
pensed with, and that other fields could
be consolidated where young mon have
formerly been etnployed. This means
that no young men will be received
into the conference this year, but
young men will be taken from the col-
lege to fill the circuits when such
young men are required. 'Phis reso-
lution was passed on to the Stationing
Committee fur final readjustment. An
amendment as follows was read and pas.
sed :—"That the report under consider-
ation be referred to the Stationing
Committee, and that the main feature
of the report be carried out."
The general session was then opened .
The election of president tor the ensu-
ing year was proceeded with. On the
first ballot 261 votes were polled ; Rev,
W. Rigsby got 60, I)r. Hammond 40,
.lohn Russell 20, S. 1.earoyd 42, On
the third ballot Jtev. W. Rigsby was
elected president of the next confer-
ence.
The Rev, Walter Rigsby, the newly
elected president, occupied the chair
when conference reassembled at 2 p. m.
R. D. IIamilton, of Kingsville, was cho-
sen secretary of the conference on the
third ballot. The secretary chose Rev.
II. D. Crews as his first assistiint, Rev.
G. II. 'Thompson second, and Rev, Wm,
Goodwin third.
Rev. Dr. Potts was here introduced,
and addressed the conference upon the
subject of the "Educational Relations of
Methodism in ('anada." Ile said that
Victoria University had been much im-
proved, and was growing yearly, The
Educational Society showed a most
gratifying improvement, and with the
active interest and co-operation of
every Epworth League and Sunday
school, it would be made a still grander
success. IIe also spoke in favor of
the 20th century million dollar fund,
which the British Conference had pro-
posed to raise. Such a fund would aid
both the 5'uperanuation fund and the
educational institutions.
]rev. Dr. Briggs reported that the
circulation of the Guardian and the
Sunday School papers had increased,
and $10,000 had been granted to the
Sui,eranuation fund from the profits of
the year's business.
Rev. Walter Rigsby, who has been
elected president of conference, was
barn in Hamilton, December 29th, 18.47.
He was for a number of years with tho
old Western Telegraph Company, but
in 1862 he entered the ministry, and
has spent all his pastorates in the Lon-
don; ('inference. His sterling advo-
cacy of democratic views in regard to
the working of the conference has long
been known by his associates.
The candidates for ordination on Sun-
day were received into full connection
this evening, addresses being delivered
by George Daniel, Ph. B., and the pro•
sident, 1(ev. Walter Rigsby.

SUPPLEMENT TO
THE CLINTON NESS -RECORD
Clinton, June 9th, 1898.
DON'T ROOST ON THE LEDGES.
To the Editor of TLE NEWS-RacORD:
DEAR SIR,—As a business man and
ratepayer 1 wish to call attention to a
nuisance we have all been -bearing
with for the last few years, but which
is growing at an enormous rate lately,
namely, the amount of loafing per-
mitted on the street corners and fronts
of stores. Any store having a ledge
in fi'ont of it, or any projection which
will form a seat, is lined with loafers,
who spit tobacco in front of them egad
help drive away trade. Often ladies
say they would tike to patronize us Sat-
urday night, but couldn't face that
row of bummers. Stores with no
ledge in front of them should certainly
command good rentals in Clinton if
this thing is to be permitted. It won't
be the man with the best goods or who
does the most advertising who will do
the trade ; it will be the men with the
fewest of the class I have mentioned
lined up in front of his place of busi-
ness. A business pian can go out and
politely explain to them that their
presence is an actual Loss to him, but
no matter how kindly he does it,
some more pi n -headed than the rest will
give him impertinence, and the rest
of the bummers will ease their wound-
ed dignity by giving him what
they gall "the laugh." They move
orf slowly and defiantly, t,ut are
hardly gone before another relay have
lined up in their place. If it pays this
town to keep a night watchman to
help reduce our insurance rate, there's
a fortune in it fol some of us to employ
some special constables to keep our
store fronts clear of bummers. I don't
wish the readers of this to think 1 am
in any way reflecting on our present
chief of police. I think when we ask
that official to grade our streets, collect
our taxes and weigh stock down at the
station, f think he works like a hired
�lnati-"'dnd earns every dollar we pay
him. We can't expect,a main to work
hard all day, and grapple the hummer
question vigorousiy at night, and
none can doubt that it requires vigor-
ous treatment. Let us have less
street grading and better peace regul-
ations. No matter how nicely, our
streets may be graded, if we leave the
bummers roosted in front of our stores
we are still a village.
Yours,
RATEPAYER.
