He soon became uncou IboIouu und never rallied. On his 82nd birthday, November 13, he was able to dictate a letter to the Thurman Club n reply to resolutions of sympathy on ?account of his fall, and thiswashis last! [public utterance. Allen Grauborry Thurman, for years lone of the most popular loaders of the "Demoeratio party, was born In Lynoh burg, Va.,' in November, 1813, and was tbo son of itev. Pleasant Thurman, a minister of the Methodist Churoh. His parents removed, to Cblllioothe, O., and ho made that place his homo until ho sottlod In Columbus in 1853, wjiuro ho has since resided. His uoatlon was received at the aoad y ftfJ Chllllcothe and from his ther. He was private soerotary of ve' iior Lucas ; studied law with his lo, Governor William Allan; was ' Itted to the bar in 1835 and In the so of a fjw yeura he had a large tice. Ha was oleotod to Congress 4, but declined a renomlnation continued In tbo praetioe of his mien. In 1851 he was eleotod to ench of tbo Supreme Court of ate, serving as Chief Justice, the expiration of bis term he renomlnation. In 1887 he was e of his party for Governor or t was defeated by K, K. r. Thurman was elect o States Senate to succeed and took his seat in 1889. at ho was recognized as the Democratic minor mem her of the Judiol and when his party in the Forty-sixth hoson chairman, and ? id (Mit prftteniporo was^oElecXed for osintt bis j yeans in tlonal oou n received^ tial oauj E BENCH. r?test, he was ss . and was bs, in wbloh bio but his .reversing .

[r. Itho can Thurman, Mr. Payne rose from his table and crossed over to the group of which the judge was the central fig ure, carrying a bottle of wine with him. "Itiust you and your frlonds will dt ink a bottle of wine with me, Judge," he said,o urbanely. " Drink to my suc cess and the victory of the Democratic party." "I do not want any of yoarwin*. sir," exclaimed the Judge. * 1 told that blanked waiter to say as much to you, sir, a moment ago," aod the irate supporter of the defeated candidate turned his back abruptly on the dapper little attorney from Cleveland. PAYNE GOT HIB REVENGE. Mr. Payne was greatly offended by the public ioeult, and is said never to have forgotten it. Judge Tburman, on the other hand, hated double deal ing with all of his intense nature, and having, as he believed been grossly deceived onoe, was not quick to yield his confidence again. The quarrel thus begun always kept these two emi nent Ohio Demaorats apart. In 1880 Allen O. Thurman was a candidate for the presidental nomina tion before the Cincinnati!convention. Uad he received the unflinching sup port of tho Ohio delegation ho would very likely have boon the nominee. On the first ballot the delegation was solid for him. Then It broke, ?nd the e buncos of Th?r man's nomination were Irreparably. ruined. The leading In fluence behind that break was- Henry B. Payne. It was Northern Ohio where the Payne Influence was su preme, that led the break and was strongest in the olatm whloh stamped ed the con vim tion a way from Tbur man. As Ohio was an October state at that time and practically certain to go for Garfield, the result would be disastrous to the Democratic cause. That argument defeated Thurman and nominated Hancock, and the words spoken in season by certain Ohloans made the claim effective. The day Haucook was nominated the revongo of Mr. Payne was complete. A feud of more than twenty years' standing had prevented Ohio from having a presidental candidate on the Demo cratic ticket ha that generation. Three years later the astute politician from Cleveland had another triumph, and Henry B. Payne suooeeded George H. FenoTeton in the United States Senate. CLEVELAND AND THURHAN. Cleveland and Thurman had never met up to tho election of 1884, although Thurman was a delegate to the conven tion whloh made Clevoland the nomi nee. They met after the inauguration, and at once developed a great friend ship. The wonder was that Thurman did not go into the cabinet. Regard g this ho said : "After the election tho press and y friends seemed to agree Hhat I ould become Secretary of State, v and e matter wa* brought before Mr. lovcland. For my part,, although ' I d nothing, I had determined to de ne. I felt too old for active service', t1 didn't have to decline. Some of other good friends in Ohio preju ced'the president against me, and y closest, personal friend in the Sen be, Tom Bayard, was ohosen." There was sarcasm In tho Old Ro man's voice as he referred to the "friends" who had abused him to Cleveland, had insisted that Thurman was in his dotage, had oven charged that he was addicted to drink, and circulated all manner of evil report about him. " But time went on," said Judge Thunnan, " and I met the President when I was counsel for the govern ment in the telephone oases. Perhaps, 1 too, had been prejudiced against Cleveland by the reports of him which haxl been brought to my ears by his enemies. Suffice it to say that we be oamo the best of friends, and I learned to admire him more than any public man I have ever mot. His friend t and other eminent mon in the natlota in sisted In 1888 that I should bfe the nominee for vice-president. I old not want the honor. I preferred to stay here at home, but they made m< ise to say nothing and not to bj if nominated. So they nomini tioket, and then in November beaten. Oh, it was a shame us !?a burning shame that at brave, good man like Grover Cleveland should ho defeated." -7 In November, 1844, Judge Thurman married Mary, daughter of Mjr. Walter Dun, of Fayette county; -Kentucky. 8ho was reared Jj| Qhllliootho, and she and her frusband were schoolmates fronr^bTAdhood. Mrs. Thurman was always 'noted as a most admirable wo mar., devotod to her home, her hus band and her children. - ? METHODIST CONFERENCE. THE GRBAT GATHERING! AT BOOK HILL. Bishop Galloway In tbe Obair?A Year of Gracious Results from Arduous Labors?An Aggressive and Progressive Denomination. Tho one hundred and tenth session of the South Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Churoh, South, convened in the Methodist Churoh In Rook Hil! Wednesday morn ing, December 4, Bishop C. B. Gallo way In the ohalr. After the adminis tration of the saeramont of the Lord's Supper and the calling of the Con ference roll, the following gontlomen were elected secretaries of the Con ference : E. C. Watson, reoor secretary, and W. L. Wait, assuF Dr. S. Lander, statistical seore and Revs. T. C. Llgon, S. H. Zlm man and A. J. Cauthen Jr., assis Committees were appointed on lio worships, Bible cause. Confers* relations, books and periodicals, tr'ot conference, journals, mlnu temperance and memoirs. Rev. J. D. Barbee, agent of the _ lishing House of the Methodist Epi pal Churoh, South: Rev. T. J. Ga calporteur of the North Carolina ferenco ; the Rev. T. H. Law, age the American Blblo Society ; Rev ?pruot, pastor of the Rook Hill P by terian Church ; and the Rev. H. Moseloy, pastor of the Ba In Rook HID, were intr Conference. Communicatlo try, Churoh lohool Boar 'erred to th? School WM presented to the Confer ence. Inviting the members to ..visit the College In a body on Saturday at tor noon. The invitation wa* unani- i inously accepted by the Conferonoe. I . Ih the examination of the character I and official administration of the preachers, the character of Rev. B. O. Berry was arrested, and a committee of trial was appointed to Investigate the ohargo made against him. A report of the Columbia Female College was presented by Rev. John A. Klee. D. D., which set forth the institution as in a flourishing oondltlon. Rev. George W. Walker presented the claims of the Paine Institute (col ored), located In Augusta, Ga., the property of the C. M. E. Church, and under the care of the Methodist Epis copal Church, South. Bishop Galloway said that he could not let the report go by without mak ing some remarks. He had been in many mission stations where the mis sionaries' nearest English-speaking neighbor was 100 miles aw?.y, ana while he honored them for their heroism, he would come back home and take oft his hat to George Wil liams Walker, who had so heroolally devoted himself to the uplifting of the I colored people of the South. HU re { marks placed the crown on the brow of Brother Walker, who has gono forward In the discharge of what he has conscientiously believed to be his duty, and that is the face of muoh op position and some very unkind criti cism. Dr. J. D. Barbee agent of the Pub lishing House, delivered a short speech to the Conference, setting forth the Erosperlty of the establishment whioh e represented. The house has made a profit of uearly 7 per cent, this year on the whole capital, of which-only a small part is available oash capital. The profit this year amounted to $46, 000 of whloh 120,000 is applied to the wornout preachers of the whole ohureb. In mentioning some books, he reco mended Bishop Galloway's 'Circuit of the Globe,' and said that the great need of the church was a missionary conscience, and that could only be gen erated by missionary intelligence. Tho following were announced as the committee of trial iu the ease of B. O. Berry : D. D. Dantzler. R R. Dagnall, G. M. Boyd, J. C. Young, S. J. Bethea, and B. M. Grier. Roy. T. H. Law, agent of the Ameri can Bible Society, presented the Bible cause to the Conferonoe. Rev. S. Lander, D. D., president of the Williamston Female College, made some statements concerning hie work. A graoloue revival of religion was ex perienced during the year, in which every boarding pupil was happily verted to God. Rev. C. B. Smith, financial agei. V of Wofford College, reported that he had not pressed collections, but had been working for students. The college has the largest attendance in its wholo history. The committee on conferonoe rela tions submitted its report through O. A. Darby, ohairman. The Bishop then resigned the ohair to Rev. A. J. Stokes, president of the logal conference. The? board of mana gers submitted its report through W. M. Duncan, seoretary. The name of L. W. Johnson was re erred to the committee on confer ence relations for superannuation. The names of P.F. Kistler, H. M. Mood and C. H. Pritohard were added to the long roll of preachers who had outlived their strength and activity for the heavy duties of .the^JJtVnerant mlnlstery. ThQL-flret of these three honorable miciisters closes his fiftieth year in tAio Methodist itineranoy at this session of the Conference; the secoral his fifty-third year, and the third his fifty-fourth year. >' R. A. Few, R. E. Mood, W. A. Mas sebeau and Poter Stokes were elected to deacon's orders. '' As usual Rev. R. R. Dagnall was ready with a facetious speech when his name was called. After rendering his report he said: "Bishop, if it had been left to a vote who should preside over this conference, you would have been elected. Voioe: (That's so.) I am glad myaelf that you are here. You have been around the world, Bishop, but you have never been to Hartsville. (Laughter.) I've been there. But I hope we'll get you there to dedicate our new church. " Bishop, I have suffered this year; (mysically, mentally and?financially. Laughter.) Twelve months ago this very hour both bones of my left leg were broken, and for six months I was confined to tho house. I was troubled mentally by a olreus held right by me. Bishop: "You held the cirous?" (Laughter.) "Oh, no, sir, they held the olrous. One friend rode up and said : 1 Well, I'll go over and see them fix up the tonts. I supppse you will bo along directly.' (Laughter.) Of course I did not ge, and Bishop, that circus accounts for my financial suffering. Now, Bishop. 1 suppose you want to know what all this means. It means simply this: When It goes well with you (and I hope it is going well with you) remember your friend." (Muoh laughter.) The Bishop said, very emphatically: " Brother DagnaH's character passeB, (great laughter) and I will say to him that I never felt bettor in my life." The third day's proceedings of the Conferonoe wero opened with devo tional exercises conduoted by Rev. G. W. Walker, D. D., president of Paine Institute, Augusta, Ga. his physician ordered his cessation from preaching. The committee of trial appointed in the oase of B. O. Berry reported that the charge and specifications of im morality were sustained and the pen alty of expulsion from tbo ministry and the church was pronounced upon him. His credentials were surrender ed. The session to-day was characterized by some strong debating. The first fight was precipitated by the special order of the day?tho report >f the board of managers of the Epwoi 'M Or phanage. ?This report reviewed the work of the past year, relating facts already in the possession of the public and recommend log an increase in the board of managers from 7 to 15?8 preachers and 7 laymen?these mana gers to act as trustees, to elect the superintendent and other necessary officers, and to be 'elected quadren nially. Rev. G. T. Harmon offered as a sub stitute that a board of 13 trustees be nominated by the board of education, and that these trustees have the power above indicated, and that no member of any other board of trustees be eligi ble to membership. He supported his substitute in a strong speech. Rev. C. W. Greighton took the floor in favor of tbo original report, and in vigorous language proceeded to lay out the argument of Brother Harmon. Rev. S. P. H. Klwell and S. D. Vaughan also opposed the substitute. On mo tion the substitute was laid on the table and the original report was adopted. Col. Coleman mado a few remarks concerning the Orphanage and its fu ture. He wanted no frlotioo, but ut most harmony. He thought the way to create interest in anvtbing was to (tray for It, to work for ft and to give to t. Following this was another special order consisting of a series of resolu-1 tions touohing the work of the exam ining committee. They were all de feated save the one hereafter requir ing written examinations. This de bate became' very general, seven or eight participating in the oonfliot. The Conference refused to receive Rev. J. L. Mulllnax on trial, but gave his presiding elder permission to use him as a supply. The report of the trustees of the Columbia Female College was read and adopted. The fourth day's proceeding were unusually interesting, and at an early hour standing room was at a premium. Large numbers stood for hours listen ing to the interesting debates on various matters. Rev. J. W. Humbert led the devo tional exercises. The minutes of yesterday's session were confirmed. The joint board of finance submitted report No. 1. Nearly ?10,000 were dis tributed to tho superannuated preach ers and widows and orphans of de ceased preachers throughout this con ference. Abbeville was chosen as the next place of meeting. Tho vote in favor of that point was so large that the other places inviting the conference to meet with them were not put to a vote. On motion of Rev. W. I. Her bert the vote for Abbeville was made unanimous. Florence, Columbia and Marlon were the other places frbm which invitations were extended. Rev. L. F. .Meaty, of Nashville, Ten nessee, assistant editor of tho Sundav school literature of the M. E C'nruch, South, spoke to the report of tho Bun* .day school board. Rev. J. W. Neeley was granted a supernumerary relation. Tho event of the day was Bishop Gallaway's collection for the church now building in Key West for a Cuban colony. Never was a moro hilarious collection taken in this conferonoe. The dollars fairly rained down upon the table until 122of them were placed there. A great fight was precipitated by the report on education, recommend ing the appointment of an agent for the Columbia Female College. After strong speeches by Major Duncan for and the Rev. J. W. Daniel against the recommendation it was defeated. Then an amendment was offered ask ing for an appropriation of $3,000 for the college. Rev. C. B. Smith opposed and Dr. Clifton supported the amend ment. The debate beoame then general. The amendment was lost, and the report then adopted. Tho reports on Sunday schools, tem perance and church extension were submitted and adopted. The reception at Winthrop was a most dolightful occa-im. ^resident Johnson, President Craighead and the Bishop mado 'short addresses. Ex quisite music, both instrumental and vocal, was rendered by members of the faculty and then the guests were invited into the library where a deli cious luncheon was served by tho fair bands of Winthrop'? beautiful gir.s. After which the guests were shown through the entire building. Memorial services wore held tonight, commemorative of those prtaohers who have died during the year. Rev. G. H. Waddoll has been elected superintendent of the Orphanage. Ho served the Camden charge the past year. He is a young man of fine busi ness and spiritual power. There is uo doubt of tho institution's success under his management. SOUTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE. Where the Methodist Preachers Are Sent For Next -Year. Ciiaulbston Distiiict?W.P.Moadots.

Too chimpanzees have musical instru ments around whloh they hold a dance, while there are tribes of savages so low and brutal as never to have In vented a musical instrument. Monkey tribes, gorilla tribes and chimpanzee tribes are organized. They have leaders and governors. Tbey seem to have a rude system of government of the forest." -Rev.

He preached his famous " sun-do-move" sermon to an audienoe of two hundred white folks in Mount Zlon Churoh, Rlohmond, Va., last Sunday, and was more tbau ever scornful toward the scientists and em phatic in his argumonts for the literal acceptance of Biblical texts bearing on the point.
