Women May Serve as yestrymen.

Bishop Stevens, of the Episco-
pal Church of Pennsylvania, has
just decided that two ladies re.
Gently elected to the vestry of st.
Luke's Episcopal Church, Della.
ware county, are eligible under
the law. Immediately after these
ladies' had been elected, Bishop.
Stevens was disposed to doubt
the legality of the election, and so
decided. He has since, however,
consulted lawyers, and has chang
ed his mind upon the question,
and promptly reversed his opin-
ion. This decision is OF unusual
interest, because it is the fret in.
stance in which women have been
elected to the vestry in the histO.
ry of the Episeopsl Church, either
in this country or in England, and
have been accepted as eligible to
such membership. These two la.
dies are thus, with the sanction of
the highest ecclesiastical authority
in that diocese, made the first
yestry.women of the Church.
"Bishop Stevens" says the Phil
adelphia Record, considered the
question as a legal one entirely,
and therefore submitted it to the
consideration of those well versed
in the ecclesiastical and secular
law. The charter of the church
provides that a yestryman must be
a citizen of the Commonwealth,
and in deciding the case it was, of
course, necessary to decide that
these two women were citizens in
the meaning of the law. There are
some terms used in the charter
which appear to exclude women,
such as references to vestryman
as she" but after due cOnsidera
ton the lawyers decided. and The
bishop accepted their interprets.

The War Scare Started by SpeCula-
tors.

Especial to the mes.Democrat.
London, July 1.-THE Berlin
papers havedone a service for tho
whole world which the London
press has been too blinded by pas.
sion and prejudice to do. They
have pricked the bubble of the
new scare about an Anglo. Russian
war. They show by indisputable
evidence that the warlike rumors
and kilograms, though coming
from many different places, all EN-.
anate from one source and are in.
spired by one set of conspirators
whose sole object is speculation.
The exposure shows that the
headquarters of the conspiracy
is at Berlin, but that its agents
are at work on every Bourse in
Europe.
Forged accounts hostile of RussI-
an movements were tclegraphed to
the London papers, and the pomp-
ous and threatening tone of the
latter was depended upon to do
the rest. The conspiracy was for
a time wonderfully successful, the
war scare was revived, the London
papers clustered in their usual
fashion, many questions were
arked in Parliament and consols,
Russian securities and Egyptian
bonds were subjected to shrink
age, which in the aggregate
amounted to millions of dollars.
Most of the members of the syndi.
cate are believed to have realized
on the shrinkage that has already
occurred; other who did not ex.
pect the exposure to come so
soon have been caught in their
own net, and are seeking to get
out of their contracts as well as
they can.

POOR MCCULLOUGH.
HIS Death Only the Question Of Few
Months.

New York, July 15.-Cspt W.
NJ. Conner, of the st. James Hotel,
goes every day or two to Bloom.
ingdale Asylum to see John Nc.
Cullough. He has arrangements
made so that he hears every day
by telephone of the actor's condi-
ton. He said yesterday, "Poor
Mac has everything that is neces-
sary for his comfort. He is as
satisfied there as he would be any.
where. He talks once in a while
just as he used to do, about going
here or there, or about an engage.
ment he must meet. Then they
take him out in the garden and
walk him around and he forgets
all abont it. The physicians say
that it is only a question of time
when his mind will be entirely
gone from paralysis of the brain,
then he will probably die in a
short time. He may live a year,
or he may 60 in three months.n
Mrs. Werts, of Scranton, Pa, q
sister of Mccullough, is in the city
and will visit him TO morrow.

Mr.. Thomas F. Binnie, of Glas-

last month travelling through the
fertile lands of the YazoO Delta,

Lord Pakenham's War Horse.

Ii isa well established fact, the
horse that Gen. Pakenham rode at
the battle of New Orleans, Jan. 8,
1915, and tho very one on whose
back he was PROBABLY killed, was
brought to Hall county, Ga, about
1925, and died near GAINESVILLE in
1880.
Thomas Bird, one Of the earliest
sellers of Hall county, fixed his
home on the the east bank of the
Chattahoochee River, at the Shal
low Ford, on the road leading to
Dahlonega.
On one of his visits to Alabama,
on u racing tour, he, by some
means got possession of the cele
brated horse that is the subject of
this article, and bought him, ,thongh
then quite old, to this beautiful
Georgia home for breeding pur.
poses. Being an expert in horse.
flesh and thoroughly satisfied that
the horse was the one that Paken.
ham had brought from India to
England, and from thence to the
United States, he was convinced
that il was of pure Arabian stock
and determined 10 take advantage
of the opportunity to improve hi
own. After keeping him severa
years Mr.. Bird died, and the oil,
horse passed into other hands
and finally into the hands OF th
father of our informant; and HI

wash "Old Pakenham,' as he wa
called, at the branch that crosse

of the road, and on the bank {
the stream, stands scrubby tire
