rendering futile all Sir Morcl MacIlenze's
attempts to feed hin by means OF n long

source of dread to his physicians, slipervened,
both lungs being attacked. Suffocation
several times was most narrowly averted,
and lie completely lost his power to clear
his throat by means of coughing. Hour

which had remained after hiss long illness,
ebbed away. With the exception OF few
moments on Thursday when he revived
sufficiently to be able to write on IL slip
of paper few words of farewell to Prince
Bismarck, who was standing beside him,
he was almost the whole day in
conntose condition. Towards Thursday
evening, however, terrible a.s Of CONFUSION
succeeded by swoons supervcned, following
each other in rapid succession.
A special edition OF the Official Gazette
announced toward evening on behalf OF the

TREASURY CLERKS SALARIES
a REIMBURSEMENT to be Made In Or
der to Establish "a Uniform Scale.


Chief Clerk Youmans, of the Treasury
Department, has decided to readjust tt
salaries of the assistant custodians, janitors
and other members of the force employed 10
keep the various public buildings in good
condition, and committee has drawn up a
report giving all the details connected with
every federal building, the force employed,
wages paid and other particulars. Ii has
been found that the wages are very UNEQUAL
in different places, and it is to establish n
uniform scale of pay That the committee has
been appointed.
The salary of the assistant custodian at
New York, Boston, Chicago and other large
cities is 81 800, and it is not likely any change
for the large cities, but it is very probable
that several changes will be male i'll the
lower grades, il the report of the committee
is approved by Secretary Fairchild.

be struck of in the House, es under the rules
no new legislation can be made part OF "n

winks at an infracti IL OF lis rules, and 1t
may do so in this instance.

pluck. perseverance and an indomitable will,
but he is said to have goodness of heart. He
is the most intelligent among the princes OF
the royal family IIc adorcs the army and
the army returns his love.

gymnasium ut Kassel, in 1915, where, with
nineteen other pupils of all stations no was

apt scholar He remained there until the

THE CHURCH CHOIR FESTIVAL.
The Ninth Festival at Middlebury.

The church choir festival which con-
cluded its exercises at St. Stephen 8
church, Middlebury, Thursday evening,
100 representatives of the several Episco-
pal church chors in the State were pres
ent. The different parts were well bal
anced, the soprano and basso voices being
noticeably strong and fine. Prof. 5. Is.
Whitney, of Boston, Massachusetts, who
has no superior as conductor of church
music in This country, directed the music
and Mr.. b. b. Gillette, a rising young or
ganist and pupil of Prof. Whitney, presid-
ed at the organ. Both the day rehearsals
and the full choral service in the eve
nlng were attended by an audience which
crowded every part of the church.
The address in the evening by Rev. w. X.
Trotter of Bristol, r.. l., was a timely and
interesting discourse upon the difficulties
which attend the rendering OF this i'm
portant branch of the service OF the
church, and concluded with several prac-
tical suggestions as 10 how the great OBJ
lect in view could be better accom- lished
Among those present was Rev. DIR.
Rider, the musical editor of the church
man, who expressed strong interest in
the success OF the work. Master Pearce
l'one of Mr.. Trotter's choice boys, SAM
several solos during the rehearsals. He
| possesses a voice of remarkable purity
and added much to the interest in the les
| tival. AT the business meeting, the repor
of the treasurer, showed that the findnca
department was well looked after. The
| former executive committee was unani
| mously reelected.
After the conclusion of the evening ser
| vice. the mem bers of the choir guild wer,
generously entertained by the ladies o
! the parish at the Y NJ. G. A. rooms, wher,
an informal reception took place. Mid
