AN ADDRESS BY BISHOP LEE.

On Monday evening Bishop Stevens Of
the Diocese Of Pennsylvania, was tendersd
q reception by the Protestant Episcopal
Churches, or Philadelphis, In the Academy
Of Fine Arts, at which large namber Of
persons were present. The reception was
given upon his safe return from Europe,
and was ofa nature similar to that ten
dersd Bishop Lee, last week, in this city.
Bishop Lee was present, and tho Public
Ledger, In its report of the affair, says: q
"Bishop Lee, Of Delaware, who was the
companion Of Bishop Stevens on his re-
turn from the Council, spoke few words,
telling his hearers of tho Pan-Anglican
Council, which was assembled In the sacred
and classic palace at Westminster and the
American Bishops who SO fittingly spoke
Ia the sessions OF that council as to impress
those, gathered from all sections of tho
world, that in America the Protestant
Episcopal Church was power, and one Of
the strongest arms of the English Church.
He spoke in glowing terms Of the Bishop
of the Diocese of Pennsylvania, who stood,
BY his intellect and his character, as one of
the foremost Of those venerable and noble
men and 30 conspicuous a. to be selected
to deliver the address at the closing session
of the great Council. He congratulated
the clergy that they possessed such o
worthy prelste, aud the laity were fortu.
nate indeed to have for their bishop q man
In every way 90 excellent and SO good al
Bishop Stevens" ..... ....g. r.t

TALLY.
Monday. shortly before midday, Edward
Turner was badly hurt At Edgsmoor Iron
Works by being hit by the balance weight
of an iron punching machine. He was
standing right under it when It broke and
falling hit him on the back crushing him the
ground beneath it's ponderous weight. The

home in this city at No. 7 Lamott street
where he was attended by DR.. Shortltdge.
His spien is isjured and he 10 completely

This WAS the second accident that oc>
curred on Monday. The other was that of
the painful mashing of the foot Of Samuel
Guthrie residing near Second and Van
Buran streets. Mr., Turner the father OF
the Injured man had just returned from

Accidents like these are of daily occur

Who Loses the Eight Cents.

Here is the way the New York
Graphic illustrates it:
Seventy or eighty papers have
come to hand this week inquiring in
"A pathetic voice, who it is that loses
that eight cents when a laboriBg
man takes a ninety-two cent silver
piece for a dollar. Now, this is the
very thing that has puzzled us. fla
carpenter receives from the govern
ment a ninety two cent silver piece
for a dollar, and passes it upon his
butcher for dollar, and the butcher
passes it upon the shoemaker for a
dollar, aud the shoemaker passes it
upon his landlord for a dollar, and
the landlord passes it for a dollar
upon IL mason for work on the new
State house and the mason passes it
for a dollar to "a merchant for a silk
dress for his wife, and the merchant
passes it for dollar to the custom
house officer for import duties, and
the United States Treasury passes it
as "a dollar to IA soldier and the SOL
der passes it to the same carpenter
herein before previously mentioned,
we are unable to see who has lost
the eight cents. Happy thought
perhaps the loss fell on the same
man who did not get it Seriously,
the same man who lost the eight
cents also loses sixteen cents every
time lie takes four silver quarters,
that have only eighty-four, cents
worth of silver in them. But, even
then, the the five cents nickels puz-
zle us. In u dollars worth of these
there is only nineteen cents worth OF
metal. Now will some of the editors
who lie awake nights to figure such
things out please to inform us who
it is that loses the eighty-one cents
every time dollars worth of nick
els is passed. Who loses four cents
every time five cent piece is paid
for glass of lager or a car ride 7
The little copper cents are even a
greater robbery. We have not the
heart to 90 into calculation as to
how many million dollars are wrung
from the horny handed bondholders
every day in the passage of this de-
based cent, but it is inconceivable
how an opponent of the Bland bill
can pass one of these fraudulent to-
kens-even at a distance-without
blushing for the periidy of his
race.

WOuldn't be an Official Thief.

An almost incredible story is re-
lated of Marshal Canrobert, who was
sent to Rome to represent France at
the funeral of Victor Emmanuel aud
the accession to the throne of Hum
bert. For the expenses of himself
and suit he was given 10000 francs,
of which he spent only 1900. On
his return home he went to the For
eign Office and handed to the minis
ter of that department the balance,
amounting to 1900 francs. The
minister refused to take the money,
saying that there was no precedent
for such n thing; that the outlay
was made and accounted for, and
that there was an end to il. The
Marshal answered that if it was alb
solutely necessary that somebody
should steal this money he would
rather some else would do it, and
asked receipt. Such is the story,
and, as Canrobert was born in 1909,
before defraudiIg the public was
considered no robbery, it is possible
it may be true.

CilIorai in WhOoping-COugIn.

DR.. Mulliean, in the Practitioner,
says of the treatment of whooping-
cough: Early in the present year |
saw five cases of this disease in one
house, the ages Of the patients vary
ing from eighteen months to ten
yem s. All were uncomplicated, the
characteristic; eouglrwas well mark
ed. attended with u considerable dis
charge of thick, glairy mucns. In
the oldest the spasms were violent,
and in three cases the paroxysms
terminated in vomiting. Belladon
ia and bromide of potassium were
administered without benefit. Gave
choral hydrate in to 5 grs. three
times daily with marked benefit.
Seven other cases have been treated
successfully since in the same way.
The decided effect from this ding on
reflex irritability is likely to result
in much good from its use in this

ers of the general land Office thinks

the public lands surveyed, and there
still remain 900 .000, 900 acres un-
surveyed. The commissioner has
prepared bin which the house com
mittee on public lands has ordered

of a surveyor general and the aboli-
tim of the contract system. The
surveyor general is to be appointed
by the president, 10y and with the
advice of the senate: is TO have his
office in Washington. and shall make
