his predecessor, Phillips Brooks, was the great
central figure in the impressive ceremonies The
sermon OF Bishop Whipple to-day was noble
effort and was listened TO with the deepest in
terest by the clergy and laity alike His brief
but tender reference to Bishop Brooks touched all
hearts and his cordial words of recognition of the
great debt which the Church owes to the services
of Dean Lawrence. as parish priest instructor and
almsgiver were accepted Il just tribute to one
who was about to receive the highest honor TO
which clergyman Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church aspire.
As Bishop Whpple addressed him with the
words. brother beloved. what can 1 say to you
to-day" the bshop-elect arose in his seat, erect
and imposing and fixed his gaze inently the
speaker resuming his seat only when the last
words were spoken. The brief words of greeting
of the Archbishop OF Xante and his benediction
followed the sermon; and then the bishop-elec
escorted by Bishops Potter and Clark, took his
place at the chancel. where he listened to the
reading OF the proofs and certihcation of his
election. The promise of conformity given in

IyFORNATIOy ABOUT MUSHROOMS.

Following many recent cases Of toadstool
poisoning. much information has been offered
10 the public to facilitate discrimination be-
tween edible and noxlous fungi. This Is all
valuable though IT comes late, and VIII be sun
more valuable If put into graphic concise ana
permanent form and widely distributed. An
article in The Tribune several days ago recalled
the fact that steps toward doing this have been
taken, and that only a small question OF eX-
pense delayed completion OF the WORK we
print in another column to-day letter from
r. Gullford Smith. one Of the Regents or the
state University, calling renewed attention to
the same fact.
few years ago Mr.. Smith and Professor
Peck the State Botanist, acting on the sugges-
ton Of Charles i. Smith, a botanist OF Phila-
dephia prepared a set OF charts, depicting III
the clearest manner the various edible mush-
rooms and also the poisonous fungi most nearly
resembling them The intention was to print
these and distribute them to all the schools,
libraries and kindred institutions in the state,
thus educating the public TO distinguish be-
tween good and bad fungi as readily and surely
as between grapes and thstes. The charts
still remain In manuscript, however. imprinted
and unpublished. because the funds required by
the Regents for CONFLICTING the work have not
been appropriated. 1t is earnestly to be hoped
that such appropriation-and only small
one is needed-will be made at the earliest OPP
portunty. Charts similar TO those in prepare
ton have long been in general use in Europe,
especially in France and Sweden Mushrooms
and other fungi are there common articles Of
food among all classes Of people, and. thanks
to this general information on the subject, in
stances Of poisoning through the eating Of nox-
ious varieties are exceedingly rare. There is no
good reason why the same conditions should
not prevail here Mushrooms might well be-
come a cheap and plentiful food product, in
stead Of rare delicacy All that is needed is
for the people 10 be Informed regarding them,
and this can scarcely. think, be better done
than In the way suggested by Mr.. Smith.

PROGRESS IN THE FAR SOUTH.

There is Il current impression that repub-
lican institutions have failed in Latin America
Probably the newspapers are somewhat at
fault There are seventeen republics south Of
the United States, and the cable news service
is not as full nor as accurate as il ought to
be- Reports Of revolutionary outbreaks and
military or naval instruction attract mo-
mentary attention when conspicuously printed
and accompanied by editorial reflections upon
the instability Of the political institutions and
the frivolity of Spanish-American character
1t ought not 10 excite surprise that American
readers have vague idea Of the tropical coun-
tries their own continent as regions where
there are occasional earthquakes and frequent
revolutions. and where the conditions are I'M
favorable for political progress. What is pub
lished from that quarter is fragmentaiy and
often grossly exaggerated. and great mass
of information of real significance and value
in relation TO the progress Of Latin America is
suppressed altogether.
Now the truth of the matter is that what
ever may be the vices Of the Spanish Amer-
can character. there are also many virtues
The Southern republics are not standing still;
they are making remarkable advances in ma
terial civilization and are slowly but steadily
improving in their political conditions. Rail

under the refusal of the Senate TO act on the

are now in evidence. One is the circulation
