CLOUDS MAKE
FACE AT
Which Is Just as Clear as Any
Explanation Offered as to
Those Dark Streaks.
1
Two Inky streaks runnlng directly
behlnd and fnr ln front of tho moon
last nlght dlsconcerted crowds of poo?
ple an llroacl Htroot, nnd, especially
among the superstltlous, there was
?orne alarm felt. Many thought lt
wns tho beginnlng of an ecllpso, but
that Is not due yet, nn.d, besides.
etllpses come from the passago of the
earlh bc/tween the sun nnd moon, and
not from clouds. But whatever the
streaks were, they appeared to be a
pecullar phenomcnon nnd attracted
much attention. Dr. Wllllnm H. Tay
lor, ft locnl sclenllst of some. note and
fame, thought that the streaks auguied
a ble.-lng. others wondered lf the
Inky blackness did not, Instead, augur
a tnaledlctlon.
The black streaks, dark ns the nlght
of Erebus?dark even agalnst tho
blackness of tha sky?were very appar?
ent, and thelr long, stteainc-r-llko form,
strctchlng away from the moon, ap?
peared to inodern-dny people as did the
understood pheriornona of the HkleS
to-day to the anclents, who saw tn
evf-ry ecllpse, in every comet and ln
every shooting star some sign of the.
good or had wlll of an omnlpresent
dclty But the streaks seen last nlght,
though of pecullar formation and of
marked colorlng. were probably cau?ed
only by an unusual refleetlon of the
moort's rays on aurroundlng streamers
of ciouds. During the whole heavenly
performance tho moon was surrounded
by a bright, llltimlnating halo.

brifcfly. argulng that for the good ot

had paid no attention to former a'ctlon

reply to former resolutions asklng rt

He thought that threo years w*as

closed hls remarks with the assertion
that he had done more for Randolph

from the house c-illed out. "How about
Dr. Smith?" to which Dr. Cannon re?
plied that he had not had Dr. Smith's

they should ever propagate Methodlsm
and should not bo alienated from the

Rev. B. F. Llpseomb. D. D., also s
member of the collogo board. sald that
lt was orroneous to state that tne

AddreHslng his later remarks to Dr.
Cannon, rather than to the blshop and

"You sald at the last conference that
you would not ask for nomlnation or
conflrmatlon, but asked that we atrree

about a chartor change untll months
afterwards. I told you then you seem?

Dr. Caftnon started to cxplaln that
there had beon an .greement In wrlt?

In the charter. Mr. Branch sald that
that part about the charter change
must have been read beforo he got
thore, and that lt was not discussed In

asserted, was not a parallel case.
"You hold that the trustees must do

|01ipse of Lard Troubles
tjottoieTJ
?
Lard is the fore-runnerof indigestion.
The hog-fat soaks the pastry through
and through, fills meats mside and out
with a thick, unhealthy grease that the
digestive juices cannot penetrate. The
result is a call on the doctor whose advice
is to go ont-a diet and avoid all rich food.
You can eat pies, cakes and all kinds
of pastry# if they are cooked with Cottolene,
for it is a pure, healthful, vegetable-oil
product that contains no trace of hog
fat, and does not make food the least bit
greasy.
From Cottonfield to Kitchen?human hands never
touch the oil from which Cottolene is made. The
result js that when you buy Cottolene you get a
cooking fat upon whose purity and cleanliness
you can absolutely rely.

"I call on the conference to wt

that tho system had operated well for

"Is this conference golng to cut t..e
