THE Y. M. V. A. CONFERENCE.
Proceedings Saturday.
a
The Y. M. C. A. Conference meetings
were resumed Saturday morning at IP
o'clock, in Second Baptist Church, coraer
of Fourth aud French streets. Half au
hour was given to devotional exercises,
after which the subject of "International
Work" was discussed by several of the
members.
The first speaker was Mr. Cree,of New
York, who represented the Internationa]
Y. M. C. A., and said that, the association
was started in New York, several years
ago, with but eight working members,
whereas it now has twenty-five members
from ail the States and Territories of this
country, as well as the province of British
America. The first year the association
spent about (500 and at. the present time il
expends (15,000. During the first your
there were 750 members of the Y. M. C. A.
and now there are over 100,000. He also
said that in traveling over the country he
found that the amount of good they were
doing was wonderful.
Mr. Rowland, the next speaker, alluded
to the origin of the U nion from the time of
met in ButiTalo, N. Y., in 1856, until the
present, and also alluded to the great need
of money to carry on the work.
Rev. Mr. Otts made a few remarks in
favor of sustaining the union, and sai(L,
that he believed that there could be (100,00(1
raised instead'of (15,000 if they would go
the right way abaut. it.
Mr. Cree followed Mr. Otts, aad said
that while we write the name of Y. M. C.
A. above our doors some of them were only
club houses, and that was the reason why
the union, in convention, adopted a resolu
tion that no one except members of an
Evangelical church could become members
of the union.
The next speaker was H. P. Adams; he
thought that if the Y. M. C. A., admitted
those not members of the Evangelical
Church they would soon out-vote them and
fill all the offices with their own men. He
had known such associations to give socials
and after those belonging to church had
gone borne the non-church members would
turn the room into a ball room. The con
sequence of this was that they would finally
burst upj which was all right if it would
only cast odium upon those whose fault t!
was, and leave the religious people alon'.i
and as the Union did not recognize any
association that admitted such members he
would impress upon the association in this
city the great importance of getting rid of
them, that is, if they wanted to be [recog
nized iu the Union that meets in Toronto,
Canada, on the 12th of July.
After [remarks by other members, t oe
meeting adjourned until three o'clock, ht
meet in Delaware Avenue Baptist Church,
at Delewarc avenue and West streets.
In the afternoon the meeting at the
Church was well attended, and the subjects
discussed interesting to ali. Last night a
meeting was held in St. Paul's M. E. Church
Seventh and Market street Jwhich was well
attended, both by ladies and gentleman.
The exercises consisted of speeches, music
aud prayer, and were much enjoyed by all.
Under the head of churches will be found
a programme of lbe Conference meetings
to day.

Wyoming Institute.
[Correspondence Delawarean.]
The commencement exercises of Wyomiig
Institute took place Thursday night. One
of the largest audiences ever assembled in
the Institute was present. The Silver Cor
uet Band of Dover, was on hand, and the
excellent music with whlcli 4 they favored
the audience will long be remembered by
lovers of the same. After prayer by the
Rev. Mr. Bodine, of Camden, and music by
the band, Mr. C. C. Baum was introduced
and came forth and delivered the address
of welcome and oration, "Our Nation's
Centennial." He spoke in a very pleasant
style, and his allusions to the Centennial of
American independence were quite elegant.
Miss Ella Davis next read, ln line style, an
essay, entitled
Studying the Beautiful in Nature,
a series of very amusing tableaux, etc., a
debate on the question "Should the Una
nimity of the Jury be Required that the
Verdict may have Force?" was discussed
by C. E. Wetzel, In the affirmative, and C.
Cooper, in the negative. The debate was
very interesting and some good arguments
were presented. After several beautiful
tableux, dramas and very fine Imusie, Miss
Annie W. Lord read the "Star Gem" paper
and the ease and grace with which she read
each article gained for her the admifttlon
of the whole audience. An oration on "Self
Made Men," by Mr. E. R. Young, was very
interesting, and the masterly manner in
which he handled his subject reflected a
great deal of credit upon him. Miss Edith
M. Hope deserves much credit in the de
livery of an essay "What Next." Mr. A.
D. Harrington then delivered the valedic
tory oration, taking as subject, "The Con
ditions of Professional Subject." This was
an ezeellent oration and attentively listened
to. With music by tbe band and the bene
diction bv Rev. Mr. Mclntlre, the exercises
closed about 11 o'clock. Diplomas were
awarded to Miss Edith M. Hope, Mr. E. R.
Young, and Mr. A. D. Harrington,

THBEATENED POLITICAL PLAGUE
Either or no Either— Surprise Turned to
Indignation—Dr. Prettyman off
Washington to offer a Protest - Hensons
Assigned for the Nomination—Await
ing the Verdict of the Senate.
If the first announcement of the domi
nation of Judge Fisher by the President, to
succeed Anthony Higgins, as District At
torney for the State of Delaware, created
astonishment, the maturcr consideration,
which followed it, was of an intenser feeling.
Surprise gave way to wrath, and culminated
in a manliest indignation that nearly found
its sequel in a public demonstration, to pro
test against such an infamy, in the private*
as well ns the political circle, it was the
chief topic If conversation y cterday, and
in each, tinged with the severest criticism
of the action of the national administration
One feature of this discussion is eminently
marked, and that is, that not one, not even
those who are office-holders, the staunchest
supporters of the Republican party, give
eountc-uance, either by word or action* to
this presumptuous effort of the President to
oree upon the people of Delaware an officer
obnoxious to all the senses of honesty and
social decency.
Early in the day there was an asperity in
the tone of discussion, that gave warning
of a public demonstration last evening to
protest against the Senate confirming the
nomination. It was like the muttering of
thunder before the storm bursts forth in
its fury, but other tactics were resorted to,
of a calmer, but as determined character.
There were private meetings for discussion,
in which the course to be pursued could be
planned and effected, without that dash of
public wrath that would be damaging to
the party, as a burst of feeliug against its
own leaders.
There were several meetings of this kind
held yesterday, which were protracted, and
in which the leading spirits of the party in
both the city and State took part, but be
yond a general concurrence of opinion that
it would be suicidal to the party for the
nomination to be confirmed there was no
definite action taken, until late in the after
noon, when Dr. Prettyman arrived, armed
with a carpet-bag and linen duster. His
hasty pedestrianism from the depot to the
office of his son, evidenced that there was
no lime to be lost.
It was but a few moments' work to bring
together enough to form a quorum, promi
nent among whom were Dr. Prettyman,
Howard M. Jenkins and Lewis Thompson.
result of this meeting explained why
the doctor came so well fortified with trav
eling equipments, for the wings ot steam
last evenin'g bore him swittly to the National
Capital to protest with the President, in the
name of the Republican party of Delaware
to w ithdraw the nomination, and to which
the people of the whole State—Republicans,
Democrats and non-partizans—utter a fer
vent amen.
The confirmation of this nomination, it is
stated by members of the Repnblican party,
would be one of the m 06 t distracting influ
ences that could be cast into their ranks at
this time. That it bodes no good is well
adyancod by the astounding announcement
on the streets yesterday, aud said upon good
authority, that lie sought the nomination
himself. This is not only regarded as evi
dence of his prurient desire for the place to
re-instate himself in political prominence,
but that there are other objects underlying
this, which would not be salutary to the
proper administration of the public service.
Oneof these is that he desires the acquittal
0 f Dr. Nolen, whom he contends is the
victim of a conspiracy, formed in a faction
of the party, allied against himself and his
chosen friends. There are other vague
rumors of causes, the most feasible among
which is the one, that since he was expelled
from efflee at Washington, the party in
this State have given him a coldness almost
reaching that of political ostracism. Such
a fall in his own State, aroused his revenge
ful spirit, aud he determined to show bis
enemies that he yet had influence sufficient
with the President to obtain an office that
would place him in a position to mould
action in the Republican politics of the
State.
How far this will prove, remains to be
seen, if the protests of the people should be
disregarded, and he is confirmed. But just
at this time the ex-judge would be a most
unwelcome visitor to any political office in
this State. Notespecially, said a prominent
Republican yesterday, to a re
porter of The Herald, because he
would breed dissensions, but upon the broad
principle that we do not want men in high
political position here who are covered with
mud,and actuated by dishonest intentions in
the very inception of appointment. A man
clothed with ignominy as deeply as Judge
Fisher, cannot give tone or respect to the
party, but would lower its honest purposes.
To the present incumbent of the office, Mr.
Anthony Higgins,there is no fault assigned;
he has tilled the duties acceptably, and won
confidence and esteem in the faithful dis
charge of these duties, but it is only a test
of the greater influence of Fisher with the
President, and the close combination of the
two in all the actions of the former, who
was thrust from office for malteasance.
All await anxiously the Senate's action
and devoutly wish that it may not deliver a
high political office in this State to one
whose dishonesty is lisped from every
tongue.

Dust From Other Words Than Ours.
Tbe color of the sky is said to be due to
the transmission of lays of light through a
cloud of dust which collects above the
earth.
Professor Nordenskiold examined the
snow which covered the Icebergs as far
north as eighty degrees, and found it strewn
with a multitude of black panicles, {spread
over the surface, or situated at the bottom
of little pits, a great number of which were
seen on the outward layer of snow. Many
of such particles were also lodged in the
inferior strata.
This dust,which became grey on drying,
contained a large proportion of metalic par
ticles attracted by the magnet, and capable
of decomposing sulphate of copper. An
observation made a little later upon other
icebergs proved the presence of similar dust
n a layer of granular crystalline snow, situ
ated beneath a stratum of light fresh, an
other of hardened snow. Upon anlysls,
this matter was found to be composed of
metallic iron, phosphorus, cobalt, and fn%
ments of ditomacese. It bears the greatest
anology to the dust previously collected bv
the professor on the snows of Greenland,
