THE EPlSCOPALS
In Session at Baltimore-Revision o. inc
Canon on Solemnizing Marriages.

BALTIMORE, oct. l0.-The house of the
Bishops Triennial General Convention Of
the Protestant Episcopal Church, were IN
secret session at work today on amend
mcnts TO the cauons, and the deputies
passed upon the amendments to the prayer
book The bishops adopted the proposed
amendment to the canon relating to COM
munion aims.
The amendment requires the clergy 10
report the amount OF such aims to the bis
hop of the diocese if required by him. l ne
proposed canon providing for the appoint
ment of suffrage bishops caused great
deal of discussion, and was finally referred
to special committee. The new canon
on marriage and divorce came in tor large
share of the bishops attention. Action WAS
not completed, although a portion of 1t was
acted upon favorably.
II contains the following PROVISIONS
NO minister shall solcmnize the marriage
of any person under Is years, unless the
parent or guardian OF such person be
present or Have given written consent to
the marriage. No minister shall solcmnize
marriage except in the presence of ut least
two witnesses. Every minister shall keep
an official register of marriage. to contain
the names, birthplace, age, residence and
condition of all persons married, which
shall be signed at the time of marriage by
each couple married, the two witnesses and
the minister performing the ceremony.
No minister shall soiemnize the mar
riagr of anv person who has a divorced hus-
band or wife living, if the husband or wife
be- put away for any cause arising after
marriage this not to he held TO apply to an
innocent party in u divorce for adultery or
to parties once divorced seeking TO be
united again. No minister. shall administer
holy baptism or holy communion To ANY
person married in violation of the discipline
uf the church but the sacrements are no,
10 be refused to pcnitcnts in imminent dan
ger of death
Action on this canon will be completed
tomorrow.
The house of deputies continued its con
-dcration of the proposed revision of the
prayer book. Twenty-one resolutions on
proposed changes were discussed. Fifteen
were adopted and five rejected. OF those
rejected the one which led TO the greatest
discussion was resolution No. " which
provided for the substitution of Psalm No.
81 for Psalm No. 90 in the service for
Good Friday afternoon. Tho house of
bishops last week also rejected this resoln-
ton. Two resolutions rejected were
adopted by the bishops.

MILLIONS UNCLAIMED.
Not in Parkway London. but Right in
City Of New York.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. I0.--In the sub
treasury in New York city there is on de-
post TO-DAY more than -, 900 900 represent
ing outstanding money orders, AMI of this
amount more than 80 100000 represents
money orders which are overdue. and which
may never be presented for payment. Ten
years ago, in spasm of virtue, Congress
appropriated the money to pay the salaries
of ten clerks, who should check up the
books of the money order office and prepare
list of money orders which had not been
presented for payment.
1t was estimated that If this list was pre-
pared the owners of two,thirds of this
money coull be traced, aud the money
could he restored to them. Today one sol
itary clerk sits in little office on the top
floor of the postotiice department annex
checking up the unpaid money orders. lie
is working now on orders issued in 1871 ;at
tins rate he will not catch up with his work
in 20 years, and by that time most of the
owners of the money will be- dead. and their
heirs or executors will be hard TO find.
The other nine clerks, for which Con
grcsS has been making appropriations regu-
lary, are working away ut other business.
The business of the office is
very much in arrears and is likely
to fall behind still further since
the proposed appropriation for twenty
four additional clerks for the Sixth Audi
tors bureau was left out of the sundry civil
appropriation bill. The number of money
order offices in the ntcfl States has been
increased from 1000 to 10000 in the last
year. so that il is not surprising that Sixth
Auditor Coulter should want more clerks !;
but if the truth were known about the lost
money order fund, the virtue of Congress
was only spasmodic, and the government is
not very anxious TO return this money to its
owners. 1t would mean very little profit to
any individual and it would involve loss
of more than 50 900 600 to Uncle Sam.
