The Bishops Reception.

A good story is told ON Bishop Henry G.
Potter of New York. When the bishop
visited London several years ago. he was
invited to reception by the English
bishops at Lambeth palace. He was Ia.
lniliar with the conventional costume OF
the highest order of the English church,
and in order to do honor to his hosts Or
dered from fashionable English tailor an
English bishops full outft-full sklrted
coat, knee breaches, shovel hat SIZE apron
and all the rest of it. He donned TINS at
tire with some trepidation, but sustained
and soothed by unfaltering trust IN MS
munitions of propriety drove to the recep-
ton in comfortable franc OF mind.
What was his horror to discover every
other bishop present wearing long BLACK
doeskin trousers and minus aprons ana
shovel hats! Out of consideration Tor
their American visitor the English bishops
had all donned the costume with which
he was most familiar

SPLITTING SECONDS.
How Minute Intervals Of limo Arc Ac-
curately Measured.

How Minute Intervals Of Time Arc 40
curately Measured.
The measurement of minute intervals
of time is one of the most difficult sub
iects met with in tho laboratory, and this
is moro especially the case as the appa-
ratus employed is often little adapted fo1
the use of those who lack experience in
the precision gained by years of expert
mental work in physics. frenchman
has recently devised q photochronograph
which comprises a metallic disk, turning
freely ON an axis passing through its cen
ter. The free end Of a spring carries "a
needle point, which bears against the disk.
This spring is timed to give 500 vibrations
per second This rate is determined by
timing the spring SO that it vibrates be-
tween known vibrations of 493 and 52S
periods per second.
Any want of extreme accuracy in the
determination Of the intermediate points is
not of great Importance, as it can be shown
that the difference only affects the fifth
place of decimals of single second. Oh
course any variation in speed of the disk
does not influence the number Of vibra
lions of the spring By means of mag
nesium light traces of the path of the
spring are left upon a sensitive plate
mounted upon the disk. The apparatus Ii
certainly not new in principle, but the ar
rangement is one which has not been DC

DRESS SUITS TO RENT.
Facts About the Business, tho Prices and
the Men Who Hire Them.

Facts About the Business, tho Prices ana
the Men Who Hire Them
More men than ever buy dress suits now
adays, and more dress suits than ever are
hired also. There are in New York prob
ably 80 or 60 places where dress sults can
be hired. The cost varies from 5O cents TO
So night, depending on locality and the
character Of the suit. The wearers OF hired
dress suits include guests in hotels and
visitors in the city who have unexpectedly
found need of dress suit. Dress suits are
sent daily in the season from this city TO
Brooklyn and Long Island, Hoboken, Jer-
sey City and Staten Island and frequent
ly to places farther away.
There is one establishment whose sole
business is renting dress suits. Generaily
the business is carried on in connection
with some other trade. Some men hire
dress suit once a season, others two or
three times and others again hire Thorn
season after season, thus avoiding the
trouble of keeping dress suits OF their own
in order At tho establishment devoted
exclusively to the business there are kept
in stock from $50 to $50 suits. The suits
are Of good quality and fashionably cut.
The charge runs from SO to So. The latter
price might be charged for suit that had
never been worn. A party of dozen or
Is men hiring together would get them at
ST. so each Sometimes entire clubs, per-
haps so or 60 men, hire dress suits for a
ball or reception In such cases they get
them at perhaps 81 suit. When strangers
want to hire dress suits, a deposit is some
times required, usually $50 or $25.
The ordinary life of dress suit is about
two years After that it is let at a lower
price, perhaps $3.50, to be worn in anna
teur minstrel entertainments or for uses
entailing harder wear than it would be
likely to get in ordinary social service. In
their final estate the coats are sold to wait
ers for So. so or SO. Such coats may be in
good order and not much worn, but not
in the current style.
OF course winter is the best season for
this business, but there is something doing
the year round 1t is not unusual for men
going away over Sunday to hire dress suits
to take with them. Tho best months OF
the year arc January and February. The
greatest demand of all comes on the nights
of the great public balls.-New York sun.

1t was novel accident with novel
sequel, that bcfell Admiral Home during
the war with China in 1912. He had dined
On one of the ships of the fleet, and when
he came to return to his own ship the tide
was running so strongly that his men
could not pull against it, and he was COM
PEELED to take refuge for the night in the
frigate Dido
When getting out of his cockleshell boat
he made false step, and as he was large
and heavy the boat tilted over, and in an
instant he and his crew were struggling in
the water.
The admiral luckily seized a rope which
hung over the side of the ship. Five of the
men seized hold of his legs. and there they
hung, shouting Justify for help till they
were drawn in by the Dido's crew. The
admiral, pretty Well exhausted, was put
to bed, with hot drink, and soon dropped
asleep after giving directions to be called
early.
At the stated hour the officer of the
watch reused the admiral, who, still dream
ing of drowning and other horrors, droWs-
lily asked, who's there2"
death, +" was the reply.
1t was startling and the admiral looked
out of his cot expecting to see skeleton
or some other CHASTITY object, but now
fully awake and perceiving only very
gentlemanlike young man standing close
to him he observed
"It is very singular. I thought was
told that death was before me.
''And so he is, answered the young
officer. My name is Death, and l have
come to tell you that the tide has chang

LINABURG RELEASED.

No Evidence to Show that He Told Viii.
liams 10 Kill Twigg.
Capt. Henry ". Linaburg, of the canal boat
Ivy City, yesterday passed through probably
the most trying experience of his life, when
he was tried in police court on the charge of
ordering the killing OF William H. Twigg by
Frank Williams.
Linaburg was acquitted, and then dra-
matte scene occurred in the courtroom. His
wife, who was present, threw her arms
around his neck and kissed him as Judge
Mills ordered her husbands release. Other
female relatives also gave vent to their joy in
hysterical manner. Finally all were
quieted, and surrounded by his relatives and
friends Linaburg left the courtroom.
1t was shown before Judge Mills by Law
yer Albert sillers, Linaburg's counsel, that
crime was committed as to be Incapable of
giving any orders. Thomas Nuce, young
nan who was steering the boat, said he saw
Twigg leave the boat, and he told Mrs. Lima
burg that Twigg had taken the whip. Mrs.
Linaburg sent William for the whip, and il
few minutes he returned and got the gun.
No one gave him the gun nor did they
know about the shooting until some time
afterward. After the shooting Williams got
on the boan and rode for several minutes be-
fore finally starting away. Mrs. Linaburg
was not permitted to testify on account of
her relationship to the prisoner. Assistant
District Attorney Mullowney told Judge Mills
that the government had no case against
Linaburg. and consented to his release, which
was granted.

COXEY IN WASHINGTON.

Coxey is in Washington. He has been here
before and that accounts for his unexpected.
unsolicited physical presence. He came
here with misguided army of road-walkers,
and as commander Of that army the gallant
Coxey rode in a carriage at the head of his
conquering host and was called General" /"
He had more than enough sense not to wear
hat adorned with a rooster's feather, but
the gray matter in his Uranium was not of
sufficient strength to prevent his making a
jassack of himself in other respects.
Coxey came here the first time to compel
Congress to pass his "good roads, bill, ,,,even
if every man in the Coxey army had to be
sacrificed but himself After several months
Of vigorous campaign on the borders of
Washington he found that Congress would
not surrender and as the public refused to
longer support him the valiant Coxcy with
drew from his starving army and retreated in
good order, protected by the luxurious furnish
ings of Pullman car. His army, poor fel-
lows, deserted by their leader, were arrested
and sent to the workhouse.
By some chemical process Coxey's brain
generated the idea that generals" are cow
ards who retreat and leave their armies in
distress, and since he is candidate for Con-
gress to be called coward might lose him
votes. To prevent, then, that awful catas-
strophe Coxey patronized Pullman again
and is now here in Washington. OF course,
he will be received by the people of Washing
ton with open arms and chants of praise.
Coxey is above the ordinary type of indi-
vidusl, so far above, that like other great
minds that depend upon machinery for mo-
tive power, his theories and projects are in
the clouds, far away from earthly comprehen-
sion. But that is not Co1ey's fault, nor is he
responsible for his wheels nor his genius, that
sprouts tremendous thoughts and grows pom
derous impossibilities.
Coxey has only ono fault, and that is of
living. II some sweet, angelic power would
softly, gently watt him away, even the
winds would murmur gratitude, for he inter-
fercs with their business.
