Palfrey allows Mr.. Garrison to ssy thai he
prayers voluntary, but as TO chureh attend
ance he wants more light before he makes up
his mind. Henry Cabot Lodge favors purely
voluntary attendance en- morning prayers
and thinks that the church attendance ques-
tien may safely and properly be left to pa
rents and guardians Rev. Henry W. Feote,
rector of Kings chapel at Boston, declines
to commit himself and thinkS that the ITar-
ward alumni ought not to elect msn fer over
ssers whom they cannot trust to set for the
best interests of the university without Civ
ing specific pledges before hand.
An entertaining story In told in English
court circles, and has been retaiIsd by the
SPiritualists, as to the reasons which induced
the Queen at the last moment TO alter the ar
fangements for Prince Leopold's funeral
Il is said that short time before his death,
dancing with an intimate friend, lady of
Danish birth, of great personal beauty, and
the wife of an English pser, he was rallied
by her upon his unwonted abstraction. His
answer was that his sister Alice had come to
him in the night, warned him of an approach-
ing calamity, and told him not to trouble,
for all would soon be well. The royal Duke.
like his mother, the Queen, seems to have
accepted supernatural visitstions as real, and
he told the lady he would prefer. il anything
happened to him, to have military funeral.
Her ladyship the recipient of these con-
fdences, wrote letter to high court of
fetal, telling him the story, aud he laid her
communication before her Majesty. At once
the Queen ordered her dead sons desires ex-
pressed in life, to be fulfilled. Hence that
change at the last moment which led to so
much perplexity and Inconvenience.
From this time on there will be much
effort to get tickets which will admit the
bearer 60 the Republ loan national convention,
and of course thousands who expect TO get
ticket will be disappointed. The ticket bust
ness will be well attended to. The tickets
are now being prepared under the super
visien of the sub committee Of the national
committee. They will be engraved. and will
have coupons for each probable session of
the convention. The tickets will be num-
barsd and allotted to particular ssats, as Is
done in theatsrs and opera houses. Ths
owner will retain his ticket, and az the cou-
pom will be for the successive sessions of the
convention, this will prevent more than one
person obtaining admittance at any one aes-
sion On the same ticket. limited number of
tickets have been set apart for those who |
subscribe to the fund fer defrayirR the ox-
penses incident to the holding Of the sonvsn-
tion. These tickets will be distributed by |
the local committees of Chicago only Owing |
to the vast number of weekly Newspapers, it |
has not been found possible to make any pro- |
vision for them. Ample arrangements will |
be made for the accommodation of the several
press associations and also for a. large a
number of reporters for the daily news
papers as may be possible, with proper
regard for the business Of the convention
and the convenience of the delegates
All the other tickets-heing those for dele
gates, alternstes, and fer general admission
TO the convention-will be carefully arranged
and turned over by the subcommittee to the
full national committee at its next session,
to be held ia Chicago on the S1st day
of May. Tee msRbsr of the ma
tional committee from each State and terri
tory will have charge of the tickets for his |
State or territory, and will at that time dis
tribute the same to the delegates according to
number and in just proportion.
