The Queens Maids OF Honor.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph
Probably the most sOught.for
position in the English royal
household. outside of that of
Mistress Of the robes, is. that of a
maid of honor. A great many
privelages attach to this place,
is reserved exclusively for un-
married women, who are privlle-
ed to use the prefix, of Honora.
BILE before their names. Their
tine of duty is divided as that OF
the other ladies of the household,
and it is not only required that
one of them shall be in waiting at
the palace where the Court is re-
siding. In former ye ars the maids
,,of honor received supper in
lieu of pay, but in 1775 there was
an uprising against this method
of payment, the ladies petioDlng
the Lord Stewart to grant them
something more substantial than
an evening meal for their services.
In consequence of this petition
an auual salary of 70 lbs. was
granted to them. 1t is evident
from the writings of one of the
ladies who served as a maid of
honor in 1924 that their life at
that time was anything but a bed
of roses. In letter she says:
ITO eat Westphalia ham in the
morning, ride over hedges and
bitches on borrowed hacks, come
home in the heat of the day in a
fever land what is worse a humid
red tines with a red mark on the
forehead from an uneasy hat.
They must shipper an hour and
catch cold in the Princesses'
apartments, from thence to din
sner and after that, till midnight,
walk, work, or think, as they
please"
Now all this has been improved,
and the life of a maid of honor is
a most delightful one. The
change came about gradually, and
better together. During the time
of Queen Ann the practice OF
making marriage allowance to the
maids Of honor was inaugurated,
She gave them 1000 lbs. each if
they married with her consent.
Otherwise they received nothing.
Queen Victoria has kept up
the practice, and to all of her
maids who have become wives
has been granted 1000 lbs. for
their marriage portion. The
ladies who are at present maids
of honor at Victoria's Court are
the Hon. Francis NJ. DIummOnd,
the Hon. Evelyn @. Paget, the
Hon. Ethel III. NJ. CadOgan, the
Hon. Evelyn L. Moore, the Hon.
Rosa Penelope Hood, the Hon.
Adeline Lotus, the Hon. Bertha
Lambert, and the Hon. Mary
Florentia Hughes.
The extra maids ofhonor woul d
get no pay, are Caroline Fanny
Cavendish and the Hon. Con.
stance Honoria Kerr.

Bishop Coleman. last night, deliver.
cd an address on tho work of the gen.
eral convention, which was held at
Baltimore recently. The Bishop said
that the work about which was the
most anxiety was the final revision OF
the prayer book.
This work had been going on for
more than six years. and was brought
to happy conclusion. But little al.
terations from that proposed were
made. For hundred years that book
will go on, 1t is believed, untouched.
The hymnal, too, was under consld-
cradle discussion, but not SO great as
was expected. 1t has been discussed
for many years. 1t would be impossl-
BILE to get hymnal to suit everybody,
but he believed this hymnal would he
found far superior to all its predeces-
sors. In this connection he was glad
to note the adoption of an uniform
pointing OF chants.
The church has 70 bishops, 2sG5
priests and 3l3 deacohs; total, 1850. In
1900 the church had 100 bishops, priests
and deacons. There are now $50 can
didates for holy orders, the largest
number yet. In the last three years
9l2 deacons and priests have been Or
datned. There are now 1906 lay read

Henry Chances bloody Find.

Henry Chance, an l1-year old boy OF
No. $40 Orange street. called at the
police station last night and gave what
was supposed to have been an import
ant clue in the Dugan murder case.
Young Chance stated that while walk
ing through Chestnut wood on Satur.
day he had found black coat, a white
flannel skirt, a woman's skirC and a
razor. The clothesiiwere found be-
meath q tree, ana when Chance made
the discovery he was badly frightened.
About IL O'Clock, Detective Witsil
drove o the woods and searched for
tho articles. They were found where
tho boy had stated, but they turned
out to be pair of dark trousers and
a flannel shirt, which had evidently
been discarded by tramp. A. close
inspection proved that the spots We're
not of blood. Chance stoutly main.
tanned that the articles found were
not the ones which he had discovered,
and Insisted that some ono must baye
taken them while he was away.
10 substantlate his statement he
said that he had noticed a young man
near the wood as he left. lie described
the man as one with light mustaehe
and wearing light OYerCOnG.
All of yesterday the ilald where the

this city visited Homestead, Pa, on
Thursday last for the purpose of
bringing the body Of Richard Meggin-
con to this county for intermeflt, but
when. 1t was ascortained lie had died
OF typhoid fever, instead OF by acct
dent as at first reported, the railroad
company refused the necessary trans
portation. The remains had been in
tered in handsome cemetery some
days ago, and the expense OF same
were paid by tho Carnegie Co.
Delay was caused after death In com.
munlcating with his friends by tile
fact that Mr.. Meggineon had assum.
ed the name of johnson. Mr.. Banks
says that the streets at Homestead are
full of idle men, and that strang ers
are looked upon with suspicion and
are invariably followed wherever they
may go. Spies met them at Pittsburg
and al so accompanied them back TO
that place.
Several parties they talked to regret
ted the strike, and would gladly re-
turn to work II it we're not for fear of
the AmalSamated Association. The
prospect ahead Is not encouraging, as
they freely admit that they must coon
resume work Or leave the place, A
moro uncalled for strike is not on
record. and the worlsmen now realize
that fact. 1t is we'll. however, for nom
