ton. His reception room is large and
bare, and is furnished with wooden
benches for the convenience of persons
waiting to see him, of whom there are
generally so many when he is ready to
receive that he cannot give each share
of his personal attention.
The reception Of all but those whose
business is of more than ordinary i'm.
portance is intrusted to subordinates
employed for that purpose. To those tc
whom the bishop accords personal audi.
ence he is courtesy itself. His manner is
that of man who has an enormous
amount of detail to attend to each day
and has by long discipline SO systelnatized
the disposition of his time as not to lose
a single precious minute.
Interested In Burial Reform.
His interests outside the conduct OF
the affairs of his diocese are few. His
social duties he considers of almost prime
Importance, and he naturally occupies a
commanding position in tho social life OF
New York. Almost every week day
evening his handsome bays and shiny
carriage whirl him from the episcopal
residence to some function where, attired
in the garb of bishop, which includes
buckle shoes, black silk hose and smalls,
he attracts general attention. He is
president Of the Society T or the Reform OF
Burial Customs, an organization pledged
to work for economy at funerals His
interest in this direction grew out of a
discovery he made on one occasion be-.
fore he became bishop that the family
and friends of a poor parishioner, de
ceased, had invested all their small saw.
ings in providing the hearse, the flowers
and the music for the funeral.
Scarcely less than his interest in the
work of this society is his concern in the
welfare of the tenement jewellers Of New
York, for the improvement of whose
condition he is decidedly anxious. Much
of his attention is now taken up with the
new Cathedral of st. John the Divine,
at this time in course of erection
near the site of General Grants tomb.
1t has been proposed that the bishops ii.
tie be changed to archbishop to CORE
spond in grandeur with the noble archi.
lecture of the cathedral, but it is under.
stood that he is not interested in the
proposition. Bishop Potter and Arch.
bishop Corrigan of the Catholic church
are on terms of great personal friendli
ness, a fact that may be worthy the at
tention of priests and preachers and
Protestants and Catholics generally,
both in and outside New York.
The Blacksmith Preacher.
Rev. Robert Collyer, the smooth faced
white haired blacksmith preacher
"dear old Collyer" they used to call him
in Chicago. whence he came to New
York ID years ago to be pastor Of the
Church of the Messiah-looks even more

traction, though singularly enough he is
not here, as he was in Chicago, an espe.
cial favorite with "the young people"
Perhaps this may be because the young
people of Murray Hill, in which aristo-
cratic section his church is located, are
not overly inclined to be religious. Per.
haps there is some other reason. AT all
events he has the warm regard not
only of his own parishioners, but Of his
brother clergymen as well. The edifice
in which his congregation worships is
plain and unpretentious. He is assisted
in all his work by his devoted wife.

Alteration I'm Talking.

In good talking the manner is almost
as important az the matter, and to con-
tinue with the remark that most of us
have too much manner is my inconsistent
part. That imbecile notion, worthy only
of the tenth stratum of society, that at
fectation is refinement Is wide prevailing
and lest some one should be natural
in spite of it, the Dclsarte system of In
culcating self-consciousness has let loose
upon an already suffering world set OF
young women who not only talk with
their mouths, but with their noses, eye.
brows, elbows and spinal columns. Add
to these the misguided creatures who dc
not know it is as incorrect to drop al

HOW HALE REACHED CAMP.
Followed the Telegraph Wire and
Beat the Major.

During the war Edward Everett Hale
went TO the front to visit one of the
generals in command. The last part Of
his journey to headquarters, according
to the Philadelphia Record. was on IA
steamboat, where Hale met an officer
a major, who was also going to head
quarters. AT first the major was very
friendly but when he learned that Hale
Was also going to headquarters he began
to ight shy Of him. Evidently he did
not want civilian" on his hands on
the long night ride from the boat land
ius.
When they reached the landing, Hale
found a horse, and after hard ride
through mud and brush he reached
/ hrddluarters. After he had had his sup
per and as he was sitting talking with
/ the general, the major rode up. He had
/ lost his way more than once, his horse
/ had fallen with him, he was covered with
mud and in the worst possible temper.
"Why, major" said the general,
where have you been? Mr. Hale has
/ been here two hours"
The major glared at Hale and grunt-
/ ed. How in thunder did you get here
oh, said Hale, quietly. Il followed
the telegraph wire"
Nobody fought shy of him after that.

To the Editor:
The young gentleman who nnds himself In a
Quandary because his iancee desires to share her
mothers permanent company is indeed to be
pitied Thu youth who had to choose between
the lady and the tiger had far easier task TO
perform. wOad seriously advise him to plunge
into the East River, provided he is unable to swim,
than to plunge into matrimony such conditions.
The most lovely Of women Is transformed into a
terrorizng tyrant from the moment she becomes a
mother law; while she tries to be the guardian
angel Of her beloved chldren's happiness, she is
the cause OF untold mseries and the source Of
many tears Love and adore your mother law,
Young man. but beware of her and keep her at a
distance. 1t is easy to write her II loving letter
and to send her beautiful presents, but keep her at
a distance Build golden bridges for her flight,
and let the ocean roll between your home and the
expression OF her affections. and the sun will
never set the halcyon days of your welded life.

BABY'S LOOKS MAKE TROUBLE.

There is IA baby up on Eighth avenue.
1t came into the world recently, and was
Christrned ON Christmas Eve. Il looks
50 much like It's father and mother that
there - considerable doubt as to which
1t resembles the closer, and at the christ.

each other, beat a policeman with his

what they don't know about infant
physiDEnomius.
Tn" baby isn't conscious of the stir 1t
has already made in Eighth avenue cir
Clrs. and goes ON poo-guuiug iuUucCntly
ana looking more like its father and
mother every minute. Although the two
unclrs are patched up with sticking
plaster, and are In prison, nobody knows
yet whether the baby looks more Ike
it's papa or its mamma, If the ncighbora
should take up the discussion and pat
an amount OF lie into 1t pruportonatp

Citrmcut and moving missiles az Rio de

| The parents Of the baby ought to do
their best to prevent any more trouble
I over their offspring's looks, They can
| 40 this by dividing up the baby's feu-
lures. Let papa claim the nose, the
chin and the width between the ears
and paint them red, and mamma car
coat her claims like the forehead, the
| high cheek bone. the eyes. etc, vivid
green. Then anybody may see at i
glance that baby has papas nose OF
mammals eyes, or mammals smile ant
