BISHOP LAWRENCE.
Comment of Portland Clergy on the New
Bishop of Massachusetts-The Election
seems To Be EminentIy Satisfactory.

~ De Emlnentiy Satisfactory
Inc election of Phillips Brooks's sue
cessor is matter in which Portland peo-
pie generally have taken great interest.
The news OF the choice of Dean Law
renee seems to have been acceptable, both
to the members of the Episcopal com
munion and to the members of other de-
nominations who were interested in Phil
lips Brooks, and therefore interested in
the man who is to follow him.
Bishop Nicely said that Bishop Law
renee was very estimable man, and
that he had no doubt he would be con-
firmed and make good bishop.
Rev. DR.. Asa Dalton, rector of St.
Stephens, said: IT am greatly pleased
at the result of the election, and all the
more so as I had anticipated it for a
week past. 1t is distInctively a victory
for the broad church principles as repre-
sented by Phillips Brooks.
Professor Lawrence is dean of the
Episcopal Theological school at Cam
bridge, having previously beena rector
at Lawrence. He is member of the
famous Lawrence family, a grandson Of
Amos Lawrence, who was brother Of Alb
bott Lawrence, the famous minister to
England, first merchant of Boston in his
day, friend of Daniel Webster and a
founder of the city Lawrence. Prof.
Lawrence's father was Amos Lawrence
famous merchant also, and the leader
in the movement which secured Kansas
for the cause of freedom by sending
thither northern immigrants, whom
they equipped with Bibles and rifles.
Lawrence, Kansas, was named for this
Amos Lawrence, who founded there a
university. Professor Lawrence, is a
native of Brookline, graduate of Har-
ward and graduated at the Episcopal
Theological school at Cambridge. On
the death of Dean Gray of that school,
he succeeded him.
THE new bishop is fair minded, emf
nently representative Boston, Massa-
chusetts and New England man. He is
therefore better equipped for the Office
than DR.. McVickar would have been;
and as well equipped as DR.. Huntington.
The fact that he was not personally so
well known as those gentlemen shows
that the election was determined by
principles. Phillips Brooks's election
was ascribed to his immense personal
popularity, and it has often been given
out that his successor could not be and
would not be of the same broad church
school. But Prof. Lawrence is of the
same school, and therefore we say that
his election proves the ascendancy of
broad church principles in that diocese
This is the more evident when we con
slider that Trinity church, Boston, the
leading broad church parish in Massa-
chusetts has more families and commu-
nicants than all the high church country
parishes put together. And yet each of
these little parishes, with its rector. had
the same yotein the convention as Trim
ity parish with it's rector. If the vote
for bishop had been in proportion to the
number of families and communicates
in each parish, the superior strength if
the broad church would have appeared
in much more striking light"

OBITUARY..
RuggIes S. Morse,

Ruggles S. Morse, whose death was
recorded Monday, was born in Leeds in
this state March n, 1914, and lived upon
farm until the age of twenty-one. He
then went to Boston and found employ
ment at the old fremont House. Soon
after he was offered a more lucrative po-
ssition at the Astor House, New York,
remaining there until the fall of 1S41.
He was selected by Nudge and Waters
who mad taken lease of the st. Charles
Hotel in New Orleans, to accompany
them to that place. He continued at the
st. Charles with Nudge and Waterman
who succeeded Nudge and Waters and
later became partner of S. III. Nudge
Ia brother of the celebrated Col. Red
dington NUDGE as proprietors of the
st. Charles, until the discovery of gold in
California, when, with numberless other
young men ambitious to be rich, he went
to California in the spring of 1S49. Be-
ing only partially successful in his anti
cipations. he came back to his native
state, remaining here only short time.
He returned to New Orleans and ever
thereafter called it his home.
Soon after his return to New Orleans
Mr.. Morse became proprietor of the
Banks Arceden, which soon become the
most popular hotel in the South. In
1854 when John o. Bartels & Co., (Mr
Bartels was formerly of Portland), with
drew from the management of the City
Hotel in New Orleans Mr.. Morse pur-
chased and became proprietor of that
house. He was also associated with the
management of the St. Louis hotel. prob
ably at that time the finest hotel in the
South. When the st. James hotel was
completed MI. Morse became its propri-
etor and continued as such until this
house was taken for hospital purposes
by General Butler during his occupancy
of New Orleans.
z Mr.. Morse was the capitalist of the firm
of +. B. Wheelock & Co.,. of New Or
leans, probably the largest wholesale
drug house in the South before the war.
Mr.. Morse was very successful in all
his undertakings and retired from active
business in 1874. In the summer of 1859
and 1860 he occupied his residence in
this city, having when young man Sc
lected that location as the place where
he would some day build home. The
house was erected under the supervision
of Hall J. Little, a former well known
citizen of this city, now deceased.
Diffident in manner and retiring in his
habits Mr.. Morse, to those who knew
him personally, had charm that left a
lasting impression. Generous and open
handed by nature he gave to those who
were unfortunate. During the war and
at thefbreak up at it's close, he turned
no one from his door. Hundreds we've
fed and clothed for sweet charity's sake
and all in that quiet manner which
makes no noise, and with a courtesy
which went far to take from the recipi-
ents the sting of shame and mortifica-
ton at the unsuccessful result of all their
efforts. Mr.. Morse married Miss Olive
r. Merrill of Durham. They have had
no children.

A PETPIFIED MAN.
Remarkable Case of Body Turned
Into Perfect Stone.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat
"a remarkable case OF petrifaction came
within my observation not long Since" said
II. G. Bartlett, who is n guest at the Lin
dell. while in Carlyle, ILL.,, a body was
exhumed from a neghboring graveyard
which had turned TO stone in the course of
six years. The body was that of John
Russell, who had died six years before, and
his friends lately saw fit to remove his body
to a new cemetery. The place where Rus
sell was buried is a low, wet part of the
cemetery, with kind of lime stratum run
ming through ii. Time had not played sad
havoc with any particular part of the burial
ouiht. The pine box was but little decom-
posed and the coffin was in a very fair state
of preservation. Though the clothing had
nodded away from the body, the flesh had
undergone queer and complete change.
at had taken 10 itself the property of lime,
had hardened into perfect stone condition,
so that four men could but barely move the
coffin. Perhaps the frame was more COM
pact than 1t had been in life, but otherwise
the features, according TO friends, were as
of the living man. The body, however, of
Russell's father, by whose side he had been
buried, was also eXhumed and showed no
trace of petrfaction. 1t was in an excel
lent state of preservation, however, and
might have in the course of time undergone
the same change. BY what wonderful
process the body could absorb ingredients
that would harden its every pore is more
than l can comprehend. II seems 10 me,
and / suggested 1t at the time, that it might
be policy to analyZe portion Of the frame
and learn again, If possible, the perfect
way OF preserving bodies"

Mrs Agnes d Arcambal, a member Of the
National Prison Association and OF the Ma
tional Association of Corrections and Chart

discharged convicts in Michigan. She be-
gan her labOrs twenty-six years ago In the

Mrs. d'Arcambai does great deal of per-
sonal work In the State prisons and House

A DINNER TO The MINISTER.
A Few Glasses of ]" Cider" Amelio-
rate the Curse of Adam.


/ know very well a rich lawyer of West
ern New York who is equally fond of good
living and good jokes. Once he was re-
tanned in case that required him to be
present at the county court early Monday
morning. The county seat was not far
away, but there were no early trains and
the trains didn't Iun SUNDAY. So he had TO
go down Saturday night. TIE prospects of
having to kill time all day Sunday was bad
enough, but his friends made it worse by
telling him how poor the only hotel was.
A large number Of things 10 eat and make
merry with accompanied the lawyer.
In village you can do one of two things
Sunday morning: you can go to the ceme-
terry or can 60 to church. Mr.. Smith didn't
have even this choice, for hero the church
stood in the midst of the graveyard. The
place was un6empt, the headbOards looked
old aud weatheT-beaten, and the fence was
a dismal ruin inside the church was bout
as bad. A good deal Of tSe whitewash had
peeled off. There were no curtains and the
windows looked dirty. Smith went Il. The
choir llSjleSSly sang the opening hymn
Then tall figure in a long linen duSter
shUffied up the aisle. He was rawboned
and freckled and had sandy goatee. 1t
was the preacher. He assembled the pulpit
steps and began: Were all of us poor,
miserable sinners, full Of sorrer and triber-
lation, and the curse of Adam pears down
on US hard" Ii was disheartening, but
Smith stuck 1t ont.
At the close of the services he went I'D to
the minister and invited him to lunch. The
sandy goatee was stroked obviously. Its
owner didn't know. He generally didn'teat
between morning and afternoon services.
He kind o thought it unbecomin' TO go ont
to dinner on the Sabbath. But Smith was
urgent. and finally overcome scruples by say
! ing they would eat at his private room at tue
/ hotel.
The hamper was opened and the gOatee
| began to wag under a mouthful OF chicken
| pate. Smith WAS talkative aud witty, Thera
lister was evidently having u sluDendously
to drink with this" said Smith; 'but stay,
Eve got some good cider. You drink cider,
don't you?" The gOatee occasionally
drank.cider If it wasn't hard. Hard Not a
bit" And in the depths Of the hamper
Smith uncOrked a bottle OF Veuve ClGuoe
and filled the glasses. This was the climax
of the feast The minister said it was the
best cider he ever tasted. When was it
made? Could lie get any like il?
And Smith answered after the man
ner of his profession and then flied
the glasses again. And again. And
the minister said no more about "the curse
Of Adam" At the afternoon service Smith
had a good seat The choir sang. The
linen buster sailed up the aisle. The
preachers step was firm, quick and elastic
His head was up and the Goatee stuck out
