CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-The galleries and
lobby of the Central Music Hall were
crowded to their utmost this morning
when the Protestant Episcopal Conven-
ton opened, as 1t was known that the
great debate on the proposition to drop
the words protestant Episcopal in des-
ignating the church would close. The
discussion was opened by DR.. Stringfel-
low, of Alabama, who argued for post
ponement OF consideration OF the question
on the ground that the time was not ripe.
MIR. Mcconnell, OF Louisiana, bitterly
opposed the proposition TO cnange the
name of the church, and DR.. Sheffield. OF
Virginia, took the same view.
The debate was then closed Oy Mr.. Judd,
who cOntended that the opposition did
not represent the progressive spirit which
should acLuate the church. The church
should take on its broad and true name,
and this was not to be cOnfOunded with
Romanism. Mr.. Judd spoke for twenty
minutes, considering the question from
all points, and when the hour OF II o'clock
had arrived the debate was declared
closed.
THE PROPOSITION DEFEATED.
The names or the clerical delegates
were called fret and were quite evenly
divided on the proposition, but the senti-
ment OF the lay delegates was more gem
orally opposed TO the proposition. The
vote by doceses was as follows, 40 do
ceses voting: A majority OF the clericals
in II dioceses voted "aye," majority
voted ''nOD in " 2dloceses, and ten dioceses
were evenly divided.
In A dloceses majority of the lay
delegates in IL dioceses voted "aye" and
IN % dioceses voted "no," and in were
evenly divided.
The report Of the joint committee on
lturgical revision was submitted and
laid on the table to await the action Of the

book. The convention then adjourned

"Really," said Mr.. Roberts, 81 hardly

The reporter went and counted fifty-six

and tell you what, there'll be business here
for two of the best hotels in the states and you
ought to have them. Your hotels now are
conducted as well as any in the state, but
the buildings are not first-class."

AN IMPORTANT CASE TO DRUGGISTS.

A case came up before Judge Wall, in
chambers yesterday, which may be said to
be one of great importance to the druggists
throughout the state, and which is new
proceeding under the prohibition law of the
state.
The case is one of the State Of Kansas
against Skirwin & Mathers, druggists at
FL Dorado. They hold druggists license
which had not been revoked, but had
been enjoined from selling intoxicants in
their business on grounds of illegally SELL
ing spirituuus liquours. Yesterday mo-
| ton was made to dissolve the injunction and
in the hearing of that motion, the evidence
as TO the facts set forth in the petition of the
Injunction was taken. The state was repre-
sented by county attorney Lobdell, A. L.
Redden and Robert Hszlett. and the defend
ants by Knowles & STAFFORD and Gardner.
After hearing the evidence and arguments
of the counsel, the court held that druggist:
could be injoined from selling into1icant'
under druggists licenses, and held the
grounds for the Injunction good.
The attorneys state that this is the frs
case of injunction under the prohibitory
| law, and that the decision if sustained by th,
supreme couri, which it undoubtedly vii
be, will show shorter road to CONTROL o
druggists than any other under the law.

HOW THEY TAKE THEIR MEDICINE.

In the FL Dorado druggist prohibition
case the county attorney of Butler got of
some good things on the peculiarly of the
signed statements that had been filed
before the probate judge. He said, "Now
this one is for man who has the malaria,
and this one is for the same man who came
back on the same day with the toothache;
then again he comes back with rheumatism
in the back, followed up again in few
hours after with iumbsgo. Tho fact is
said he, "some of these statements show that
a man can live in FL Dorado with seventeen
different kinds of diseases, from toothsche
to heart disease, and whisky in large GUAM
titles is the only medicine. Why, in any
other climate except Kansas the compiled
ton Of diseases which appear as common
ailments would prove fatal at once, but
strange to relate, none Of these diseases ap.
pear to be at all uncomfortable and it is
only from the effects of the medicine from
which they suffer-"

BUILDING BOOM.

A reporter interviewed prominent lum-
Der man yesterday in reference to the pros
poets for building in this city, and gained a
few pointers on the spring outlook. The
reporter was informed that very large
number of fine business houses have been
laid off and contracted for, some of which
are to be superior to those of last year.
Every day discloses the fact that some new
building enterprise has been laid of, and
estimates of lumber called for. The large
number of new residences about to be COM
menced is larger, he says, than at any other
time during last year. While there is to be
very large number of new business houses
commenced at an carly day, they in the
most part are newly talked of, and if half
are built, then the city will see boss boom
in the spring.

I'VE SHALL KNOW"

Christ said TO Peter. who was mystifed by
some actions OF the Master, "You shall
know hereafter" Rev. Hodgson at the NJ.
E. church on Sabbath morning with this re-
ply as a text, preached sermon upon the
tangled threads of the web of life, which
stirred the hearts of his hearers, and lent
new wings TO the hopes of many. The
speaker himself was visibly wrought upon,
and he poured the fervor of his soul into
words which seemed to span the dark river
that intervenes between this and the bright
shores of the Beulah land of eternal rest and
inefable delights. Responsive amens fell
from many trembling lips, and came from
many tear glistening eyes, as the realization
became more certain with each thought that
after this life and all its troubles and disap-
pointments, 1--WE shall know"
