FRoM a cursory reading OF Bishop
Burke's circular we are inclined to the
opinion that he would not make a very
successful real estate operator. He has
had the disadvantage, however. of start
ing in with a diocese which embraced a
new and very in~adequately developed
country. He had no reserve fund to
begin with and was forced to rely solely
on the parishes of the state which neces.
sarily have enough to do to support them
selves. The bishop may lack somewhat
in that element which the people of the
West characterize as ''Gustling ability"
but it is almost impossible to accomplish
work of the extent and nature that he has
undertaken without financial aid from
outside his own diocese. This was found
to be true in both the Episcopal and
Methodist churches and it is zone the less
true in every other missionary field rs it
Is in Wyoming.

In Brandreth's pills the true life medi
cine has been found. composed as they
are of numerous vegetables SO combined
that each multiplles the virtues OF the
rest. They never can do any harm. Their
action is always the same, no matter how
long or in what doses they are taken.
They purge away the waste particles of
the system. They recruit the animal
vigor and arrest the progress of decay.
They purify the blood. They stimulate
the liver. They i~nviRorate digestion.
Tney open the pores. They make the
bowels do the work eff the kidneys, thus
giving those organs an ofttimes needed
rest. One or two at night for a week will
demonstrate their power and is generally

1t is proper they should, for the very

induced to buy worthless things because
they were cheap. AS if anything you

Brief history of the painting--Jean
Francois MIllett. the painter of THE
ADgelus." finished the marvellous work
at Barbizon, France, in 1859. and being
in want at the time, sold it for 1880
francs, 1t was afterward resold for 3s,-
600 francs and later sold at auction for
100000 francs, and was finally, in July,
1889, purchased at auction in Paris by
the American Art Association for $50. 900
francs, (SllO, 600 aud brought to New
York, where 1t was placed on exhibition
and was visited by $4,000 people paying
s37, 200 for the privilege of looking at it.
The painting is 2I!x25! inches in
size. Art Is not measured by inches.
Here Is a brief description of the picture:
1t represents a young mar and maiden
pausinR from their work IN the fields to
listen to the tolling of "Angelus," them
selves joining in evening prayer. The
sun has already sunk below the horizon.
The sky is still luminous with the warm
golden light which gives a peculiar glow
ing color to the surrounding fields. The
young couple have been busy harvesting
the potato crop. They stand quietly in
the foreground, their figures clearly cut
against the vivid background. Their at
titudcs express the devout religious senti-
ments of rustic piety. Both send in ST.
lence a feeling prayer to their Maker,
while the bells are ringing the "Angelus"
(the evening prayer in the belfry of the
quaint little village church. which is seen
far way ON the horizon, clearly defined
against the golden sky.
Fourteen Oil Colors of the Original
To make this perfect reproduction the
celebrated steel engraving of the Angelus
by the great engraver, Charles Waltner,
was taken for a basis, the c~oloring being
mastered by careful study both in Paris
and New York. Labor, ingenuity and
money have been unsparingly used and
the result is eminently satisfactory; in
deed, so accurate is the copy made in all
the shades and colors of the painting that
it has been well said that we're the beauti-

He Attacks the Report of the New York
Board of Mediation.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.i
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-The official journal
of K. of =. tomorrow will contain an
article by Mr.. Powderly on the recent re-
port of the State Board of Mediation and
Arbitration of this State to the Legislature
on the Central Railroad strike. Mr.. Pow
Derby does not like the report, and recon-
mends that the board be abolished. He
says:
at cannot safely exercise any authority
of power, except to draw a salary and ex-
pend the money of the people without rem
dering an equivalent. 1t has no authority
to demand Of conflicting parties to submit to
either mediation or arbitration. It should,
in all fairness, be called the State
Board of Persuasive Eloquence and Per-
sonal Magnetism, for the members must
coax and wheedle the corporations into
agreeing to anything, and after investIga-
tion is made there is no power or authority
to enforce a decision, or even to
make one. The report in question
is unfair, untruthful and misleading; it
is more than that-it is malicious, and
plainly exhibits the earmarks of men who
could not withstand honest criticism, and
who made a State document the vehicle
through which to convey spiteful thrust,
which they should have done in their indi-
vidual capacity, if at ALL" He calls the
recommendation of the board for sufficient
State control over both employer and en-
ploye, to avert railroad strikes, "marvels of
insane drivel."

PARIS, Jan. 21.-At an early hour this
morning reporter called on Messrs. o Brien,
Dillon and Gill, who are staying at the
house of Mr.. Raffaelovitch, Mr.. O'Brien's
father-in-law. In consequence of their con-
ference lasting until late hour last night,
they had not risen, but Mr.. O'Brien received
the reporter in his bedroom. In answer to
the question as to what had been the result
of the conference he said:
'It is difficult under the existing circum-
stances to make any statement with respect
to the conference, as it is still necessary for
us TO preserve silence on the matter" Then
Mr.. O'Brien dictated The following state
ment.
"As I had every reason to anticipate, Mr..
Dillon and myself are in full agreement,
and with view to success, our retlcence,
patience and mutual iorhearance will con-
tinue. That is as necessary as ever. The
matter is so delicate and so surrounded with
difficulties that 1t is hard to be too sanguine
OF the result.
"All L am free to say is that we have
made substantial progress toward a settle
ment, which will be satisfactory to the
British as we'll as to our own sentiment.
There has not been single days needless
delay. We shall not leave France without
exhausting every effort for peace, and very
few days now must determine the result"
While this was being written Mr.. Dillon
entered the room, read the statement and
signifed his approval Of it. 1t is improba-
BILE that the conference of Boulogne will be
resumed.

Miss Jessie Gilbert, of Danbury, Has a
Rough Experience.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHI
DANBURY, CONN, Jan. 20.-Miss j Jessie
Gilbert. prepossessing young woman, who
lives at No. II Grandview avenue had a
rough experience with a robber to-day.
Miss Gilbert lives with the family of Will
lam H. Oakley, and this afternoon went out
to make a call. When she returned home
late in the afternoon she found the family
all away but there were evidences that an
intruder had been there. She heard noise up
stairs, and just as she started to investigate,
a hand was clasped over her mouth and she
was thrown down. A spool was thrust in
her mouth and her apron drawn up over her
head. Then her hands and limbs were tied,
and in that condition she was placed across
chair. She heard the robber going from
room to room, and after what seemed to her
an age, he left the house.
After a while Miss Gilbert succeeded in
getting down on to the floor, but try as she
would she could not free her limbs. She
rolled over and over until she reached the
stairs, and succeeded in sliding down to the
first floor, where she made her way to the
door which the robber left open when he
went away. There was a stoop, which,
in her helpless condition, she could not
mount, and she lay in the yard until Mrs.
Henry Haggaman discovered her. II was
a Ioug time before she was able to tell the
story of the assault.

ESPECIAL rELEeRAE TO THE DIsPA ATcH.i
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Prof. Charles A.
Briggs was installed BY Edward Robinson
professor of Biblical theology Of the Union
Theological Seminary in the chapel this
evening. The faculty were present in
their gowns of office. The directors
also occupied the platform, and the
chapel was crowded with divinity students
who applauded with hands and feet the
most pronounced utterances of Prof. Briggs
in which he announced his adherence to the
higher criticism. The Rev. DR.. d. r.
Frazer, of Newark, delivered the charge to
Prof. Briggs, who responded in an address.
taking for his subject, ''The Authority of
the Scriptures" He SAID:
THE Bible has been treated as if it were
baby, to be wrapped in swaddiing
lest 1t should be injured by heretics
and infidels. There Is nothing
divine in the text. in its letters, words or
clauses. The divine authority is not
in the style, or in the words, but
in the conception, and SO the divine power OF
the Bible may be transferred into any language.
1t may speak as powerfully in Chinese as ir
Hebrew. We force our way through the
language to the inner substance of the thought,
for there we shall find God.
Another fault of Protestant theology is In Its
Limitation of redemption to this world. The
modern reaction against this limitation in
theory of second probation is not surprising. 1
do not find this doctrine in the Bible but do
find the doctrine of the middle state of con-
scious higher life in the communion
with Christ, and with multitudes of
the departed; and of the necessity
of the entire sanctification in order that the
work of redemption may be completed. Pro-
gressive eanctification after death is the
doctIine of the Bible and the Church. The
bugbear of judgment Immediately after death.
ana of a magical transformation on the dying
hour should be banished from the world, and
We should look with hope and Joy for the con-
tinuance OF the process of grace and the
blessed to which we are all fastening.
