THE BISHOP OF NEW YORK.
HENRY GOODMAN POTTER AND HIS
MUCH TALKED OF SERMON

He Is of Family of Bishops, and He
Has Way of Speaking Hjs Mind
whenever He Likes - The Criticised
Passages.
Bishop Henry Goldman Potter, the mus
cular Christian" who created such a sensa
ton by his sermon before the president,
cabinet and other dignitaries on April 80, is
a scion of progressive and aggressive family
which has contributed not a little to the his
tory of New York and the United States.
His father and uncle were bishops, one
brother is in a fair way TO be, another was a
brilliant soldier in the civil war, another a
prominent congressman, and still another an
architect and musical composer of note. The
father Bishop Alonzo Potter, was born i'll
the Quaker church, but became an Episco-
palian, professor in Union college at 81 IA
clergyman at "a and a bishop in middle life
While at Union college he married talented
daughter of tho illustrious DR.. Eliphalet
Nett, and their five sons inherited in large
measure the talents Of both parents and both
lines The father died in the harbor Of San
Francisco July 4, 1865, having just arrived
from a voyage around the Horn, entered
upon in the hope of improving his health.
OF the sons each has shown himself singu-
larly positive and determined in manifesting
his faith, whether in politics or religion The
Oldest, Clarkson Mott Potter, was the well
known Democratic congressman from New
York, who took SO prominent part in the
discussions about reconstruction and the dis
puted electoral count of lS76-U. The sec
ond son, Robert b. Potter, entered the army
as major of the Fifty-frst New York volun-
teers and made brilliant record, rising to
the rank of maj or general, and receiving
high compliments from Gen. Grant. The
third son. Edward, is the architect and must
cal composer; the fifth, Eliphalet Mott, is a
prominent clergyman and president of Ho-
bart college, having declined the Episcopal
diocese of Nebraska, and the fourth son is the
now much discussed bishop of New York city,
having been consecrated to that office Oct
90 1888 He was born in Schenectady May
o.. 1885, graduated from the Theological semi
nary of Virginia in 1851, and rose rapidly in
the church, declining at one time to accept the
bishoprc of Nebraska. He is the author of
"The Gates of the Eastn-an account of tray
els in Syra-und other works quite popular
in his church.
Bishop Potter untes many qualities not
often found in the same person-great love OF

LONG LIFE.

There is nothing in the world more gencr-
ally desired than long life, yet the majority of
people put of caring for their heallh-not be-
cause they are really careless, but because we
live our lives at such pace we have not time
to give the subject sufficient thought until we
receive a reminder in the shape of severe i'll
ness.
Then, too, we are constantly bewldcred by
the various schools of medicine, and the ply
sicians who represent them, and often blunder
in our choice of doctors.
If people only knew that the very best
health keeper, llfe-preserver, and disease-pre-
uenter that has yet been discovered, is sim
mered down into a concentrated and very
palatable form in the shape Of New style
Pleasant Taste Vinegar Bittcrs, they would
not hesitate moment to try 1t.
But they do not know. How can they
know, when so many not only worthless, but
positively injurious, drugs are constantly
flooding the market under various names and
guises, that the New style Vinegar Bitters is
as bad as any Of them?
They do not know, Of course, unless they
have the courage TO try the New Style. 1t
straightens out the tangcd.up system in Il
very short while, and those who buy it once
buy it always.
Why don't you try it, reader? It is sent out
by a responsible house, aud is exactly as rep
resented. Ii costs but dollar for very
large bottle. Try it once and you will never
be so glad of anything in your life. Your
druggist may not have it, but he will order it
for you. BE sure it says New style and
Pleasant Taste on carton and bottle before
you take it. Try it, and you will feel happier
than If you found gold mine, for 1t really is
amine-of health.

THE TITLE TECHNICALITY.

A Suit Which hinged on a Delay
in Making the Certificate.
II An important decision was filed by
Judge Kelly yesterday inasmuch as the
property involved is very valuable and
the question at law an interesting one.
The decision is in the case of Mamie
w. Stewart against Mary and John
Rebel, Caroline and Frank Long, Rosa
and1 Herman RaSka, Ward, Henry.
Frank and Antoine Lettingarver. The
defendants are the present owners of
the southwest quarter of section 1, town
80, Tange %, Ramsey county, and the
plaintiff claimed the ownership by right
of state tax title assignment
certificate purchased in 1876. Pursuant
to a real estate tax judgment, dated
Nov 16, 1874, the land was offered for
sale Oh Dec. IS, 1874. There being no
bidders, the land was bid in for the state
for s1S.16. On Dec. Is, 1876, the plain
tiff in this case paid into the county
treasury the sum of S61.14, being the.
amount of the sale. with subsequent
taxes, penalties and interest added. and
received from the county auditor an as
signment of the states right, title and
interest to the property. But, to cor
leu Cc1 Tall iudllUlCo. lOtCi 40
signment wasl issued by the auditor.
No certificate to the state, as required
by section 1914, chapter 1, of the general
laws of 1874, Was ever issued until
the day of the assignment to the
plaintiff, Dec. Is; or two years,
less three days, after the sale.
For that reason the court holds there is
nothing to support the plaintiffs claim
of title in this case. Judge Kelly's
opinion further says: Although in this
case there is no direct testimony con-
Sidering the number of certificates to be
made out and the current business OF
the auditors Office during the period in
question as to what length of time it
would have reasonably taken the au-
ditor to make out certificates to the
state for all parcels of land bid in for
the state at the sale of Dec. Is, 1874, yet
l feel warranted in holding that such
length of time between the actual sale
and the actual time of issuing of this
certificate, two years, less three DAYS, is
un easonable, and the certificate relied
on is therefore void. There being no
certificate to support the assignment to
plaintiff, the assignment is also void.

APOINTER FOR LOWRY
In Reference to the Lafayette Av-
enue Car Service.

C.E. Prince, of 724 De Soto street,
thinks the peoples side of the Lafayette
sire car complaint has not been fully
set forth, and writes as follows:
Mention having been made i'll your
paper in reference to the complaints
made by the residents of Lafayette av-
enue and vicinity, and the defense of
the railway company being given first
place, we would kindly ask you to pre-
sent a little more fully, our side Of the
question. For two years or more. In
summers heat and winters cold. our
transportation facilities have been in
terrupted without notice or eXpfana-
ton. When it has been the good pleas
ure of the powers that be to take Off the
cars,it has been done. What is the result?
In space covering two blocks, where
two years ago it was impossible to find
all empty house, there are now fourteen
ITO Rent signs, and there will be
many more. If Col. Barr is so anxious
to vindcate the management OF the
system, and to save to his wage-cuttlng
corporation the S125 per day now lost,
why does he not run his cars to the
lower end of Lafayette avenue bridge,
have cars at the other end, and thus
solve the problem for which he claims
not to be responsible? We will not OBJ
iect to walk over the foot bridge, and
the company will be saved the loss
claimed, which by statements made
during the effort of their employees to
get living price for services rendered,
thew can i'll afford to lose.

A HORSE ON HASKELL.

1t was as much OF surprise to the
general public as it was blow to the
Haskell family pride that in the distri-
button of foreign snaps under the Har-
rIson regime no place was found for
that distinguished military character,
Mai. W. E. Haskell. When it was
whispered that the major had filed a
perfumed monogramed application for
the Swedish or Danish mission,
and that Washburn, Snider and other
influential placemakerS had affixed
their Endorsements, it was taken for
granted that such a powerful demand
could not go unnotced. But time
passed, and finally came the certainty
that the gallant major was to be left IN
the cold gloom of private life, relieved
only by an appointment on the StaH OF
Minnesota's governor. But there was
reason for this.
About a year ago, when Maj. Blethen
stepped out of the Tribune and Col.
Palmer stepped in, there was consul
tation between Editor Haskell and
Clint Shultz, who had just begun to
warm the managing editors chair.
Gen. A. H. S. Davis, the Washington
correspondents was under consideration,
and as Davis had been a red-hot Blaine
man, it was deemed advisable to dis
pose of him. "Let me attend to
him." said Maj. Haskell. "Pll
discharge him at once. He's too much
of Blainiac for u.s." Accordingly he
wrote to Gen. Davis, peremptOrily dis
charging him. The letter informed
him that the Tribune had! no use for
Blaine, and that Davis had sent in
Blaine matter beyond the limit of en-
durance. Davis pondered over the let
ter, and finally filed it away for future
reference. his opportunity came later.
~ -
Harrison was elected. Blaine went
Into the cabinet and Haskell wanted the
Swedish mission. His application,
properly Endorsed and marked S. and

pleased with it and with the anti-Blaine

and Haskell might water, but Blaine
took care of the ineresae. Haskell cast
his bread upon the waters, and it re-
turned after many days. He has now
