AN ASSISTANT TO BISHOP HOWE.

Rev. Ellison Capers Of Trinity, Co
lumbia, was the unanimous choice OF
the late Diocesan Convention of the
Episcopal Church at Charleston, as the
Assistant Bishop Of South Carolina.
Bishop Ellison Capers is in the me-
ridian of his msnhood's day. A godly
and devout minister has become, by
divine appointment and the voice OF
his Church, its consecrated and exem.
plary prelate.
This distinguished son Of Carolina
claims Charleston as the place Of his
nativity, but dearly loves bis State from
its centre and throughout its bounda'
ries, and is beloved in return by all her
people, for he is Carolinian by birth,
sentiment, sympathy and association.
During the Confederate Wal, it might
not be amiss to mention for the younger
members Of society," Brigadier- General
Capers was as chivalrous and knightly
a soldier as ever went into the shock of
battle. "Valor and virtue" were In his
heart, and he wears to-day "the white
flower Of purity and peace"
BE is the son Of the lamented Bishop
Capers Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, a sanity legate Of the skies,
whose memory is precious in his
Church. History has beautifully re-
peated itself. Worthily will the son
fill the apostolic Office.
Bishop Cspers will receive a salary OF
$4,000 and the venerable and beloved
Bishop Howe, whose increasing In
firmities called for an assistant, will re-
ceive $1,000.

A conference Of the leaders was held
in Columbia last week, but what was
done has been Kept very quiet. The
ordinary voter need give himself no
concern about the matter, however, for
the leaders will take care of themselves
and all we are expected to do is to plow
on and vote and psy the taxes and the
leaders will do the rest. So We need
give ourselves no concern 50 long as the
leaders are all right.

1t is very heroic snd grand and in
fact We might say sublime to decline
an office which We had never had
offered Us snd the prospects Of appoint-
ment to which were in the remote and
distant future. But then these are
peculiar times and require heroic sction.

THE TINES was in error in stating
Wednesday morning that the motion in
Council to take UP. from the table the
bill increasing the salary of the super
intendent of public schools was declared
lost. The records show that the m otion
to take up was carried, and that Mr..
Eckloff's motion to pass the bill was
lost. So Acting President Dupuy was
right in his ruling and TIE TINES was
wrong, and takes this occasion to
acknowledge it.

CURRENT LITERATURE occupies field
quite apart from that of any other mag
azine published. Its aim is not only to
furnish the reader with a useful knowl.
edge of the world of letters. but also to
entertain him. Every page of it is
studied carefully, and wherever the
magazine is opened there will be found
come pithy article from a magazine, q
book or q newspaper to arrest tho atten.
ton; or some department of epigram.
~matic sayings, OF anecdotes, of wit and
humor carefully culled from a thousand
difference sources. It's pages therefore
vary from month to month. The new,
the quaint, the picturesque bits of life
are carefully put aside and the best OF
them selected and preserved in this lit
erary store. house. Meanwhile the
things of the day which rise above the
commonplace are judiciously given
conspicuous place, while host of arti
cles. like that in the April number on
Eleonora Duse-the reigning queen of
the drama, and the sensation of the day
In tho metropolis-are always to be
found Interestingly treated. Frightened
by delightful sketches. by an occasional
short story, by chapters from the i'm
portant new books of the day, there is
mo magazine OF the time which can ap-
proach Current Literature in variety
and value.

Gently executed by eX-City En-

acceptable "face of the city" is due.
This map is officially accepted by
the city as authority. 1t is with
out doubt the best city map yet
executed. 1t is wonderfully COM
plete, giving some eighty more
streets than are laid down in the
fullest directory of the city yet
published. Its ward boundaries,
street and steam railway lines and
blocks are very distinctly marked.
It's parks, plazas and public build
ings are all located and the several
suburban lines clearly drawn. The
imprint is clear, the colors distinct,
the execution smooth, the military
reservations and the missions accu-
rately shown, the whole giving at
a glance the most perfect line draw
ing of the city that has yet been
executed.
