The Big Lottery Fight.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14-One of the hottest

five years and to pay the state 81 ,250. .OOC
year for the privileges, where they have
heretofore paid about $40, 900. 1t can
hardly be called fight bet" cen the two
parties. Partisanship and party atfilia
tons have been forgotten. One can find
Democrats for and against and Repub'
licans for and against the lottery. TIE
lottery people realize, of course, that it is
fight to the death, and are using barrels
of money. Whoever wins the victory
will have only few votes to spare. 1t is
Doodle against principle, and so far it is
nip and tuck which will win.

Filling Vacancies.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-It can be stated

president has decided not to appoint the
judges created by the act establishing the
appellate court, nor to name men to fill
the two vacancies on the interstate COM
merce commission and that. on the court
of claims until after the assembling of
congress. The president long ago init
mated that he would not name the appel
late judges until after the first Monday IN
December, but it has been the hope and
belief of those most interested that he
would name men to fill the vacancies on
the interstate commission and the bench
of the court of claims. Tn consequence
of this belief the president has been i'm
portuned daily since his return from Cape
May Point, and the number of candidates
has become quite numerous. 1t was re-
Gently announced that the president
would not make these appointments un-
til after the November elections, so as to

Republican candidates as well as to avoid
the disappointments and perhaps obsti-
macy of those who will not be chosen,

Representative American Methodist at
the Ecumehical Council In Washington.

1t fell to the lot of Bishop John Fletch-
er Hurst, D. D., of Washington, to deliver
the address of welcome to the delegates
assembled in the ecumenical council now
in session at that city, and he acquitted
himself with characteristic address and
ability. He is, besides, chairman of the
business committee of the council, and
may be regarded justly as the represen-
tative American in the august assembage.
Bishop Hurst's great attainments as a
scholar emphasize his gifts as an eloquent
speaker and man of affairs.
He was born near Salem, Dorchester
county, Md, August II, 1894. At 20
years old he was graduated at Dickinson
college. He taught the learned Ian
guages in Hedding institute, New York
two years, then went to Germany, where
he studied theology in the universities of
Halle and Heidelberg. In 1858 he entered
the Newark conference as minister of
the Methodist Episcopal church. Eight
years after he returned to Germany,
taking charge of the theological depart.
ment of the Mission institute of the
German Methodist church at Bremen.
This was removed while he presided over
its affairs to Frankfort-on-the-M and
renamed as the Martin Biblical institute.
After three years of service at Bremen
and Frankfort, DR.. Hurst made an extern
sive travelling tour, including Russia, the
Scandinavian countries, France, Switzer-
land, Italy, Great Britain, Greece, Syria
and Egypt. In 1871 he returned to the
United States and assumed the chair of
professor of historical theology in the Drew
theological seminary, Madison, N. j., of
which he was made president two years
after, retaining his professorship. He
was elected bishop in 1880. Bishop Hurst
is the author of a considerable array OF
erudite books.
