AWARDED CAREER.
Brief Review Of the Life Of Bishop ouin-
tard.

The Washington Post of Thursday |
last contains this high tribute to a
prominent Tennessean "Bishopl
Quintard, of Tennessee, arrived at
Ebbitt yesterday afternoon, having
come to'attend the Council Of Bishops
of the Episcopal Church, now in SEES
sion here. He is one Of the ablest
and most popular ehurchmen of the
South. He was first educated for q
physician, and when young man
went to Memphis to give lectures in
the medical college there, He at
tracted attention at once by the in
teresting manner of his delivery, as
well as by the unusual character Of
the matter of his addresses. IL was
not long till his audiences began to be
composed of many citizens Of Mem
phis who were not students, and by
and by the lecture hall would not
hold the people. He gave up medi-
cine and prepared himself for the
Episcopal ministry. Then came the
war. He went into the service as
chaplain in a Tennessee regiment,
and finally became member of the
staff of Gen. Leonidas Polk, who was
himself Bishop in the same
church with DIR. Quintard. While in
the field DIR. Quintard showed quail
ties that endeared him to all the sol
diers with whom he was associated
He was man whose purity of life
was so evident, whose earnestness
and kindness of heart were SO quick
to respond to the wants of the unfor-
tunate, the sick and the dying, and
who withal had so sunny and cheer
ing disposition, that the soldiers
learned to love him like q friend and
brother. If one needed a physician,
he was ready to serve him, or If he
wanted Priest he was even quicker
to give his services. He knew how tc
cook a little, and many asimple meal
did he prepare for a wounded com
rade. He was a cook, nurse, physi
clan, friend, companion and soldier
There are few men who can so eff
GENTLY fill so varied field Of action
The war over, he returned to hi
parish in Tennessee. When the frs
vacancy occurred he was advanced b!
general consent to the position 0
Bishop, which he has occupied for
f number of years with great satistac
r ton to the people of his bishopric
J He is now an elderly man, but nj
e flow of good spirits continues un
: abated, and there is no aging to tn
J. geniality of his heart"

Another Defalcation.

M. Tomlin, county trustee Of
Cheatham county, left last Friday for
Nashville to return Saturday and has
not been seen since. He left bundle
of papers and two letters at Wag-
goner's Hotel-one for Judge ). d..
Power and one for T. A. Turner,
county clerk. In the letter for Mr..
Turner, he owned up that he had got
behind in his business and preferred
skipping to going to the penitentiary'
His books have been opened, and he
is alleged to be few thousand dollars
short, besides $4,000 owing to indivi-
dual parties. 1t is general sur
prise to everybody. Tomlin is AZ
years old, six feet two inches high,
weighs about two hundred pounds,
has black hair and mustache and has
his right leg off between the knee
and the hip. His bondsmen are
willing to help him out, and say they
will not prosecute or trouble him l
he will return and settle all matters

action is frequently prompt and de-
cisive. Ii is indicated IN the early
stages before local complications
arise. Coffee dispeis stupor and leth-
argy, is an antidote for many kinds
of poison, and is valuable in spas
modic asthma, whooping cough,
cholera infantnm, and Asiastic chole-
ra. 1t is also excellent as a proven
tive against infectious and epidemic
diseases. In districts rife with
malaria and fever, the drinking of
hot coffee before passing into the
open air has enabled persons living
in such places to escape eontagion.

WHEN Chinese dies on board OF
a Pacific steamer bound to China
from San Francisco, the body is en-
balmed and kept until the arrival OF
the vessel in the Chinese port. This
is because the companies shipping
them engage to deliver them back
dead or alive in China. The physl-
clans get twelve dollars for each en-
balment. Perhaps If clause to a
similar effect was included in the
tickets of our transatlantic steamers,
the remains Of passengers dying at
sea would be returned to friends or
find Christian burial in foreign
country. When we are as old as the
Chinese as a nation, we may learn
some reverence if not Of our ancestors
at least of our dead. The Chinese
exact this contract with the steam
companies because it is their lmpera-
tive rule and custom that their re
mains must be carried back to China

MAYOR TAYLOR has shown his faith
In the C9ur d'Alene mines by invest
ing largely In clam that has prom
isiny development work done upon IL.
We mention Mr.. Taylor's deal in order
10 call attention TO the fact that not
withdrawing the proximity OF these
mines very few Of the older residents
own any property in the country. It
would be naturally supposed that's po-
kane Falls would be largely represent.
Ell in this district. The reasons are
two fold. In the first place there we're
very few mining men in this city when
mineral WIS first discovered in the
panhandle, hence only a few of the
people went into the country in the
earlier days of the excitement. In the
second place when ut last IL was prov
en-, beyond doubt, that the mines
were many and very rich, the claims
were ield at such high figures that
few OF our residents could afford to
catch on. In the future We expect to
see Spokane represented in the owner
ship of Occur d'Alene mines and Mr..
Taylor's example will probably be fol-
lowed by others. There is no question
as TO the wealth of tho panhandle,
and furthermore, the old timers have
never faltered in their belief that tho
country would turn out well, and it
was only the lack Of ubinvested capital
that prevented many from making in
vestments before the mines had OBJ
tanned such great values.
