THE BISHOPS APPEARANCE

The good bishop was unconciously describing
himself, for he impresses the observer as pos
sessing those very qualities. Tall, straight as
the arrow of the shoshone. an earnest face
whose clear-cut features denote winning
blending Of power, purity and tenderness,
with his direct and off-hand mode of address.
he at once commands the attention Of his
hearers and then eniists their interest His
duties are to visit every outlying parish in his
churches, preach to the wicked and bolster up
the weak kneed brethren. He has queer expe-
riences, and last night at Ascension Church he
described typical scene.

ANOTHER SPECIAL PROVIDENCE
Several months afterward the bishop was
negotiating with some real estate agents for a
corner lot in boom town upon which to sub
sequently build church. He finally got the
price down to $500 and induced them to
agree to take his note, due in six months. Be-
fore the note matured he received another
contribution from his Englishman, this time Of
just $500. Another case Of special providence.
1t was such a curious coincident," said the
bishop, tina: 1 disliked to tell my friend about
il. i was afraid that my hard headed business
man might think l was trying to work him
with special providence racket"
Bishop Talbot told Of n young clergyman in
his diocese who while receiving q salary OF only
$3.50 year spent $500 Of IL to educate boy
for the ministry. The boy has gone through
college And Il now entering the seminary where
he will study for three years This student has
heretofore received help from Washington
churches and the bishop asked for o continu-
auce OF favors. There is no charity so noble,
he said. none far-resching in its good results,
as the equipping and sending forth Of an earnest
and conscientious man to carry the gospel with
his own hips and to meet the people Eeart to
heart and labor with them.

his predecessor and founder OF the school, DR..
WARNING On Friday Of last week Major Hol-

manned away until Sunday. When he returned
it was plain that he had been drinking heavily.
He was confused and unable to attend to bust

day afternoon. when he again left the institute.
and has not been heard from since. 1t was
said at the institute to- night that Major Hol-
land took with him $500 that was depos-
tied as school funds in, his name in
the Merchants National Bank OF Pough-
keepsie and that he also had in the
neighborhood Of $1,000 of the tuition fees Of
the school. This money Is said to belong
rghtfully to Mrs. Hozie. who is really conduct
ing the school.
Major Hollands debts about the city are not
large. He had the confidence Of tho commu-
nifty. and his absehco under such conditions
has caused much comment. 1t was learned at
the school to- night that his books are mudded
and that it is impossible yet to tell how much
money has been taken In or paid out by him.
