The Most DenseIy Populated Place.


1t has been for long time asserted and be-
lieved that the Island of Barbados, with 166
square miles and a population of $4,000, which
is 1,054 persons to the square mile. was the most
densely inhabited portion of the earths surface.
From a communication of Mr. John Worthng-
ton. the consul of the United States at Valletta,
Malta it appears that in the matter of density of
population Barbados must yield the palm to
Malta. That island contains 90 square miles of
surface and contains 142, 500 inhabitants texclu-
sve of the British garrison and visitors and nom
residents), which is an average of 1.5O0 to the
square mile. The city of Valetta contains
great plethora of population. its area being 3l8
square mile and its population "a, S54. popula-
ton of rs, 157 persons to the square mile. There
is one specially populous quarter of Valletta,
known SIS the Manderaggio. the area of which is
1904 square mile, or ESQ acres, wherein dwell
2,544 persons-a population of CSC 600 souls to
the square mile If we exclude the one-third of
the island which is unsuitable for cultivation
and the occupied by buildings, the popula-
ton of Malta reaches the large number OF 1000
persons to the square mile.

The Gardeners Magazine.
On the recent occasion of the anniversary Of
the accession of the Sultan to the throne, Count
Abraham Camondo showed his loyalty by offer
ing his majesty magnificent bouquet of nearly
four yards in height and two and a half in cir
conference. The structure represented lemon
with the name of the Sultan on one
side in French, and on the other in
Turkish The sultan was greatly touched
by this sign of devotion, and caused the eight
men who had carried the monster bouquet to the
palace to be adequately rewarded. The construc-
ton of the bouquet, it should be added occupied
ten persons whole week, and was no doubt
triumph OF art, casting far into the shade even
the maryels which are daily put before the eyes
of the London public in the show-windows of the

stopped near Ell Paso, on the Peoria & Warsaw

lost its truck. How train could proceed with
a missing truck 1.-THE wheel gear which supports
the frame of carl was puzzle to the engineer.
Back he went, and found car with its front
truck indeed gone. 1t had been held up for sew
eral miles by a coupling and the rear truck.
Then the question arose, how had those forward
wheels slipped from under the and off the
track when the train had been running twenty
miles an hour9 That is something John has not
been able to answer to this day.

one of the cars was hanging on the headlight
brackets and the other was caught on the pilot.

CHURCH CONVENTIONS.
The Episcopalians Still Engaged in the Work
of Revising the Prayer-Book.

The EpiscOpalians Still Engaged in the Work
of Revising the Prayer-Book.
CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-The general convention of
the Protestant Episcopal Church resumed its
sessions at the Central Music Hall this fore
noon. A message was received from the House
of Bishops declaring that, in the Judgment of
the bishops, the use of the unfermented juice of
the grape in the sacrament is not
warranted by the example of our Lord,
and was an unauthorized departure from the
practice of the catholic church, and that the
mixing OF water with the use of wine was not
Objectionable, provided it be not done ritual
istically until authorized by change of the
rubrics. The message did not require any action
by the deputies
A resolution was adopted to appoint commit
tee to present plan for making notification to
the dioceses of the changes adopted in the Prayer
book.
A resolution was adopted providing for a joint
committee of three bishops three clericas and
three laymen, to whom should be recommitted
the whole subject Of marriage and divorce, to re-
port thereon to the next general convention, on
the second day thereof. The House then re-
sumed its consideration of the proposed amend
ments to the Book of Common Prayer.
A proposition to substitute in the order for
evening services prayer for the civil authority,
in place of the existing prayer for the President
of the United States excited much debate. The
PRAYER, as reported from the committee and sent
down by the House of Bishops, made men
ton of the chief executive by his Office, but, in
stead, contained the following: 'To rule the
hearts of all those whom Thou hast set in author
ity over u.s. that they etc. The house finally
rejected the form proposed by the House of
Bishops. and adopted the prayer contained in the
book of notification. This prayer which if
agreed to by the House of Bishops, at once be-
comes the property of the church and part of it's
revised Prayer-book. reads assfollows: $50 rule
the hearts of Thy servants. the President of the
United States. the Governor of this State and all
others authority that they" etc. It's noted that
the printing of the phrase ''The Gov
ernor of this State" conveys notice that
its use is permssive, since there may arise cases
when the use of this phrase would not be appli-
cable.
A message from the House of Bishops was re-
ceiveG during the evening session non-concur-
ring with the resolution of the deputies on the
canon concerning marriage and divorce. The
message recommended that the matter be passed
over to the next convention as unfinished bust
ness
The work of revising the prayer book was con-
tinued until a late hour.

Interest On Public Eunds--A Case Affecting
Cities and Incorporated Towns.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
NATION, Oct. PA civil case involving a
point of considerable interest to cities and towns
has been filed for hearing at the coming term
of the Coles county Circuit Court The city of
Nation sues the Nation National Bank to re-
cover sum amounting to about 50, 300, az inter-
eet on the city's sinking fund, which has been de-
posted in this bank since 1881. when the bank
officers agreed with the City Council to pay per
cent interest per annum the FUNDS deposited,
which at times has amounted TO $4,000 One
years interest was paid, when the bank
officials gave verbal notice to the Council that
they would NO longer pay interest on the funds.
There the matter rested until the election of
Mayor Dunlap and new councilman, last spring
when tho matter was investigated and the con-
cluson arrived &c on the part of the citv that
the bank, having held the fund on deposit since
1881. was liable under the original agreement
for interest on the same. The bank officials
take the opposite view of the case, and saw that
interest will only be paid from 1882 to 1856
amounting TO about $2,300-when they are
ordered to do so by the courts. When the fund
offered for deposit to both banks Of the CITY.
Ast July, the same bank entered into a contract
TO pay per cent. interest per annum on it. and
pay semi.annually. Attorneys claim there is no
precedent for the case.
