upon his arrival The ceremony was of a
most Interesting character. Bishop Pot
ter delivered the conservation sermon,
which was an eloquent and impressive re-
view of tie episcopate and its powers and
duties. The text was Acts xiii, 2i, 81
and 4th verses and 21 Timothy, 1-6.
Names of Some Bishops Present.
A number of bishops took part in the
solemn service of conservation. At the
commencement of the ceremonies the
clergy ranged themselves along the center
aisle and the bishops and bishop-elect
passed through to the chancel the conse-
orator, Bishop Williams, as presiding
bishop of the American church, leading.
He was followed in turn by Bishops

phia: King (colored) of Galveston: Oliver,
OF kearney, Nep., and J. c. White, of
Pittsburg.
Bishop Clark Falls to the Floor.
Just after the new bishop had been
vested with his robes an exciting but hap
PLY not serious accident happened.
Bishop Clark, who had evidently not
been feeling well, was suddenly overcome
and fell to the floor. He quickly recov-
cred and was able to continue a pray ST
and the singing of "Veni Creator Spiritus"
followed, after which the solemn cere-
mony of the laying on of hands on the
head of the newly consecrated bishop By
the other bishops was performed. The
final words of conservation were then ut
tered by the presiding bishop.

OBJECT TO A SUNDAY FAIR.

Resolutions.


Resolutions.
WASHINGTON, Oct Is AT yesterdays
session of the ecumenical Methodist con-
ference the business committee presented
to the conference petition to be sent to
the Worlds fair commissioners against
the opening of the exposition on Sunday.
The petition embodies the following OBJ
jections OF the conference to its opening
on that day.
That it would be in open violation of the
Sabbath keeping: that it would deprive the
employees of the fair and of the transportation
companies OF rest and wo rship; that the spirit
Is not philanthropie but mercenary; that the
will not be shown.
Points for the Stockholders.
As an offset to the stockholders statement
that they would lose money by closing the fair
on Sun day, the petition cites the case of the
Philadelphia centennial. which was closed on
Sundays and was a success; that there should
characteristic religious Sunday, and it is the
committees opinion that the plea that Sum
day openi ng was for the working class is made
only to benefit the stockholders of the fair,
who are members of transportation companies.
An amendment offered to tine effect that
the opening on Sunday was in direct vio-
lation of the laws of nearly every state in
the Union, and particularly so in Illinois,
was adopted. The resolution was then
adopted by the council, and will be for
warded to the United States World fair

Secretary Foster Declares Them Re-
deemable in Gold.
WASHINGTON, Oct l5-At the request
of certain friends in Boston Secretary Eos
ter few days ago wrote a letter on finance
in which he stated that treasury notes
were redeemable in gold. Democrats in
Boston presented 81, 900 treasury note at
the sub-treasury in Boston and demanded
gold for it. 1t was refused by the assis-
Jant treasurer. Democratic newspapers
published the fact of the refusal side by
side with Secretary Fosters published ut
terances. Secretary Foster yesterday
morning sent the following telegram to
Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, Boston, Mass:
Treasury notes will be redeemed at any SUD
treasury of the United States in gold coin. The
refusal at Boston was an error on the part of
tile assistant treasurer, it being probably the
first case in Boston where redemption in god
asked.
No Trouble TO Get silver Bullion.
There is no authority of existing law to
deem any paper money in gold or silver bull
ion, but the government purchased over
l,C0,0o ounces of silver to-day with treasury
notes at about 81 cents ounce and any
owner of treasury notes can do the same The

THE TYPICAL AMERICAN.

He Is an AII-Around jolly Fellow, and
Delights in Go Il story.
The typical American of the educated
classes is not very like an Ens1Shman;
he is rather more like a Frenchman.
but still more like an American. Icu
can not say where he differs in appear
ance from the Briton; it may be in his
necktie, his boot, or the way in which
he brushes his hat He seldom looks as
if he lived much in the open air or was
fond of field sports He is much more
vivacious than an Englishman, more
original in manner, more fertile In
ideas, more modern in every way. He
is almost too good company; too efer-
vescent for some natives of a slow.
fogy climate. He is enviably detached
from our internal politics and social
confusions- These are all pretty indif-
ferent to the native of a country which
has elbow-room, militia which shoots,
and practically no neighbors. He is
usually fond of the Irish and their
cause, but he never goe1 to ireland He
does not mind explaining to you the
niceties of base-ball; but have known
an elderly Frenchman to take more in
terest than he does in cricket. He seems
to me to know a great deal about cook
cry and delicacies of strange names,
American or French; but he has, per-
haps, no very high opinion of our poor
culinary efforts. He is not curious,
however, in strange mixed juleps and
cocktails, etc. like the representative
American of the stage. He very seldom
talks with an English accent. and even
when he does, his idioms betray him.
IL I'll in in
but is no gambler. He is much too
familiar with English life to be keenly
curious about it, and he never dreams
of going to see the lions. He is
rather fond of the play, knowing
and caring very much more
about our authors, actors, pieces.
ETC., than l do. for one. He is kind,
courteous, ingenious, obliging, a good
fellow, and welcome because he is in
fnitely more alive than most of US. To
bring him into room full of detected
Britons is like pouring fresh water
among the fish in a pail. He is patri
otto, but no Chauvaniste, and is aware
that Bunker Hill was but British de-
feat. He does not talk about the war
and Abraham Lincoln. We are sorry
when he goes away and glad when he
comes back again with a new budget of
good stories, for if he has a national
trait, it is the swapping of anecdotes.
He is not man that any body would
think of trying to impose upon. but he is
not demonstratively acute. Never have
seen robuStiouS American, nor an
American who preached, nor an Ameri-
can who told pointless stories.-Andrew
Lang, in North American Review.
