AUDREYS At the New York confernce of the Methodist Church, in New York City yesterday, Bishop Joseph F. Berry formally transferred Rev. Dr. George Clarke Peck, the retiring pastor of the Elm Park Church, Into the New York conference, thus establishing him In the pastorate of St. Andrew's Church, in West Seventy sixth street, New York City.

The transfer was not made, however, without stirring up quite a commotion. This fact was recognized by Bishop Berry, who in discussing the matter said: "From the very beginning of this conference I have discovered an Intense sentiment in it. For years the large churches of this city have been supplied with pastors from outside, to the disadvantage of men In the conference. I made up my mind that.no man should be transferred into the New York conference for any church unless at the same time there should be transferred out of the conference, a man of equal grade. i "The conditions at St.

Andrew's Church have perplexed me much. I have decided on this action, and I hereby transfer George C. Peck from the Wyoming (N. conference to the New York conference, to be appointed to St. Andrew's Church, and I transfer Andrew Gillies from the New York conference to the Troy conference." There was immediate dissent from all over the church, and at the afternoon session Bishop Wilson unexpectedly appeared and again took up the subject, explaining that no New York man could go to St.

Andrew's church and succeed; thatan outside man was necessary, and that to save the church a man Whom the church desired should come into the conference. And this man COM MOTION TELEPHONE COMPANIES IN FIVE COUNTIES WER The consolidation of the Commonwealth Telephone Company, the Mes hoppen and Auburn and the Wyoming and Sulivan, under the name of the Commonwealth Company, took place at a meeting yesterday afternoon in the oflice of Attorney A.

III HEW YORK; OVER HIS TRANSFER could not be brought Into the conference until a man of equal rank was sent out of the conference.

Thereupon he transferred out, to the Troy conference, the retiring pastor, Dr. Andrew Gillies. The bishop then created a stir by saying that a minister came to him at the close of the morning session, declaring the transfer was a trick. This the bishop repudiated and went on to say that he heard there was quite a commotion over the transfer when he was interrupted by a minister who declared the exchange was not equivalent, since Dr. Peck came into a pastorate and Dr.

Gillies went out into a secretaryship. When Bishop. Wilson called the Judgment of the conference In the matter under discussion, he was heartily sustained. Since the conference did not, in, the bishop's judgment, appear to want the responsibility which he had thrown upon it, he announced that he would take it back, stating that he had transferred Dr. Gillies back Into the New York conference, and that he expected to be able to announce that he had transferred out another pastor to another conference.

As evidence of what a stir has been created over the change In the pastorate of St. Andrew's, where Dr. Peck will be the pastor, the following resolutions were adopted at the sessions of the New York conference yesterday! "Resolved, That we feel the need of a more effective method of expressing the sentiment of this conference in the matter of equivalent transfers. "Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed to investigate and report at the next annual conference as to what legislative or constitutional remedy can be recommended for our action." ton and Auburn, up In Susquehanna county, and covering the smaller towns in this territory.

At Elizabeth street and the Keyser Valley branch of the Lackawanna road near the Brlsbin mine there has been for some years a pond that has served as a skating place in winter for the youth of that part of the city It was known as the Tripp pond and was really a piece of marsh land covered by about a foot of water. Today it Is drained dry.

Cracks appeared in the bottom of the marsh a few days ago and the water gradually disappeared through these into the Brisbin mine workings. There was not enough water In the pond to cause any serious' trouble In the mine. STATE OFFICERS At Memorial hall last night there was a big and Interesting assembly of veterans and sons of veterans, who listened to some eloquent The occasion was the annual visit to this city of Major Gherst, department commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, and since his visit took place on the anniversary of the surrender of General Robert E. Lee, the celebration of that anniversary was a part of the exercises of the evening. John T.

Howe was chairman of the evening. In the talks by most of the speakers there were references to the coming encampment of the Sons of Veterans in this city, and there was the hope expressed that Memorial day celebrations would be less of a day for picnics and similar enterprises. Speeches were delivered by the following: Division Commander Gherst, of the Grand Army of the Republic; Division Secretary of the Sons of Veterans William B. McXulty, of Philadelphia; Past Commander of the Department of Pennsylvania, Major General Reed; National Secretary Horace H. 'Hammer, of Reading: Colonel E.

H. Ripple, of this city; Division Commander L. S. Ramsey, of Reading, and others. In addition to those who delivered addresses there were also tho following other national and state officers present: Edwin M.

Amies, of Altoona, commander in chief of the Sons of Veterans; National Treasurer James Lewis Rake, of Reading, and Past Commander Samuel S. Horn, of Eas ton. CLEAR HEADED Head bookkeeper Must Be Reliable. The chief bookkeeper in a large business house in one of our great Western cities speaks of the harm coffee did for him: "My wife and I drank our first cup of Postum Coffee a little over two years ago, and we have used it ever since, to the entire exclusion of tea and the old kind of coffee. It happened in this way: "About three and a half years ago I had an attack of pneumonia, which left a memento in the shape of dyspepsia, or rather, to speak more correctly, neuralgia of the stomach.

My 'cup of cheer' had always been coffee or tea, but I became convinced after a time that they aggravated my stomach trouble. I happened to mention the matter to my grocer one day and he suggested that I give Postum Food Coffee a trial. "Next day it came, but the cook ade the mistake of not boiling it suf ficiently, and we did not like it mucn. This was, however, soon remedied, and now we like it so much that we will never change back. Postum, being a food beverage instead of a drug, has been the means of curing my stomach trouble, I verjly believe, for I am a well man today and have used no other remedy.

"My work as chief bookkeeper in our branch house here is of a very confining nature. During my coffee drinking days I was subject to nervousness and 'the blues' in addition to my sick spells. These havo left mo since I began using Postum Food Coffee, and I can conscientiously recommend it to those whose work confines them to long hours of severe mental exertion." "There's a' Reason."

It affords me the utmost pleasure to state that your Remedy for Skin Diseases is all, and more than you claim for it and merits the highest commendation. For the past three years I used a number of well known advertised remedies with very poor results. A few weeks ago the windows of the druggists in my locality were filled with your remedy, and I exclaimed.

"Oh. ah Yesl Another humbug! Still I shall try it," and immediately purchased a set at one of my druggists. I have used but one box of Ointment one bottle of Purifier and one half bottle of Lotion, which has proved its efficacy in the most remarkable manner, the result being almost miraculous.
