feel that, while SO much is being done for internal
improvements, that the minds of the illiterate
should be looked after They pray for $4,000 900

Alleged Grain Dealers to Whom the De-

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-Postmaster Palmer yes

Washington authorities mentioned in the

issued, forbidding the delivery of mail mat

of this city. 1t is stated that the mode of
carrying on business as practiced by these
firms is to solicit by circulars the
investment of $40 and upward for
the purpose of grain or stock
speculation, the peculiar feature of their
plan being known as the Mutual Invest
ment Club" Little or no return is made
for the money RENTED them. The extent
of their operations may be understood from
the fact that over $751; 900 has been received
through the postoffice, for these firms within
the past twenty days The express COM
panies have delivered to them, in the same
time, nearly $4,000. Beyond a small com
mission business transacted through the
open board, none of these firms have any
actual connection with the grain trade.

Questions Involved in the Selection of a Sue

Questions Involved in the Selection of a Sue
cessor to the Late Bishop Talbot.
Madison Star.
The convention, which is soon to meet to
choose bishop for Indiana will also have to
provide for his support. few years ago. a
project was started to endow the Episcopate
of Indiana, and to make the sum sufficient to
justify the division of the State into two do
ceses. The necessary amount was nearly
reached when a sudden financial disaster
came upon the diocese, which has since con-
tinued to delay the endowment. The church
owns much valuable property, some near
Chicago, but the bulk in indianapolis.
When. Bishop Upfold was chosen diocesan of
Indiana. the church provided him with a
comfortable home on Pennsylvania
street, indianapolis. Afterward when
Bishop Talbot was chosen assistant to Bishop
Uphold the church built another magnificent
episcopal sidence on the Circle in Indian
apolis which was the home of Bishop Talbot
until about two years ago, when his and his
wife's failing health compelled them to give
up the cares Of housekeeping; since which
this house has been rented out at a large
rental. A short time ago, Bishop Talbots
brother Richard and family became the &C.
cupants of the home of the late Bishop Up
fold, which the church of the diocese still
owns. And it is somewhat striking coin
cidence that Bishop Talbot, after vacating
his own residence, should end his days in the
house where his predecessor in the bishopric
died.
The house and grounds on the Circle +
nished to Bishop Talbot as his home, and still
owned by the church in the State, have en-
HANGED in value so as now to be estimated
worth as high as $4,000. If this property
can be sold at price approximating to this
sum, with the other fund on hand judi
ciously invested, would enable the church to
support bishop handsomely without assess
trrr fho Oh ,,xI,o ,,E 10 Ctnto
heavily as at present. And the church, still
owning the property formerly occupied by
Bishop Uphold, the new bishop would have
a commodious and comfortable home. These
matters, with all their surroundings will be
carefully considered by the coming conven-
tion
