cottage to ask for cup Of tea Hang

it for half-a-crown. he howed it in
st Petersburg to the cura tors Of the
Hermitage gallery who, after consult

pretty surely with the picture at Yer

Protestant Episcopal Church of New
 York Moot at St. Johns.
 NEW YORK, Sept 2s.-The eleventh annual convention of the Protestant Episcopal church of the diocese of New York is meeting in the church of the Holy Trinity of which the Rev. Dr. E. Walpole Warren is rector. In place of the ser.Aon .n regular order of service Bishop Potter delivered his annual ad. dress. He spoke of the impatience which is disturbing the social order of our times and threatens it's very founda, tions. He said in part;
 'sAt the basis of our social structure, as the oldest of earthly institutions, is the family. do not believe 1 shall be challenged if I say, nevertheless, that of all institutions it is that which today has the feeblest hold upon tho popular imagination The communicate system, as against the domestic system, is that on which our social reformers are most tempted to build, and from which they are coming chiefly to expect millenium future. But the voice of all communis- tic systems is that they deal with men not as individuals, but in masses, and they end in expecting to make society better, rather than the men, the women and the children who compose it. It is a captivating theory of regeneration, for it is so much easier than any other; but like most easy things, it is ineffect- ual, and sooner or later it will be 80 ac- knowledged. If we would lift the poor, said a parish visitor to me, we must begin by getting hold of the mothers in their homes;' and hers was the final philosophy, after all.

 Boston DOardinghouse.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9S.-Dr. Thomas E. Tynan, the Modesto physician and ex-capitalist whom the courts have declared dead and who3e $7O0, ,000 estate has been attributed among his relatives, arrived here Wednesday. He was met at the Oakland ferry by a number of friends and business associates. Though pale and greatly emaciated, the aged doctor appeared in fair health. He said he had been in Boston all the time sineG his strange disappearance and that tho reason for his sudden leaving over two years ago was to avoid the annoyance of litigation begun by his step-daughters to recover property which they alleged be- longed to them.
 The old man said he would probably have never returned had not the Spiritu- alist, Slater, discovered him in Boston and brought him to Reno Slater, who claims to have been guided by spirits, claims the $5000 reward offerel by Mrs. Tynan for information of her husbands whereabouts. Slator aseribas the find ing to the spirit form of Dr Tynan's first wife. He says:
 "On May 19 was writing letter in my room at tho Clarion hotel in Boston. It was about 7;30. Suddenly woma11s form stood oyer mo, as distinctly as could be.
 "'I am Rose Martin Tynan,' it said.
 "'Go to ---- street tonight, sure, and you will see my husband, Dr. Thomas Tynan.'
 "I went immediately. The number given was that of a we'll known board inghouse in central location and not more than 20 minutes walk from my home. The street and number I have promised not to reveal. When I rang the bell asked for Dr. Tynan. They told mo he was not thore, but while I was talking he came to the top of tho stairs and spoke to me. l returned soon after to California. I saw Mrs. Tynan, but she would not believe had seen the doctor. She believes it now. Early In August went back and found the doc tor again and we came back together. " Slater has the promise of 5000 and expenses.

 CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-William Nichol, charged with embezzlement, is locked up at the central station awaiting the arrival of an officer from New York. He walked into detective headquarters and asked Sergeant Frederick if he was wanted by the police. The sergeant asked his name and then looked through the records. No telegrams calling for his arrest could be found.
 It was ascertained that Nichol had charge of the night office of the National Express company at l36 Franklin street, in New York, and that on Sept. IT, he took $319 of the company's funds and left the city.
 A message was sent to Inspector Me Laughlin relative to Nichols confessed embezzlement. The New York official reports that warrants had been issued for his arrest and Nichol was put in h cell. The prisoner said:
 "some friends came to mo while was at work. l went out and drank with them. went too many times, and after a while became reckless and cared nothing for what I did. While intoxi- cated I took the money and boarded q train for Chicago. On my arrival here I was sober and the thought of what had done drove me almost frantic"

 American States.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s-It is reported the plan of Mexico to unito all Central American states in ono great republic is doubted at the Mexican legation here. Reports state General Ezeta's visit to Mexico is part of plan for a compre- hensive scheme for the extension of the now republic from Texas to tho lsthmus of Panama, and it is added that all states, save Guatemala, favor tho union. It is said, however, by the Mexican au- thorities here, they never heard of such plan suggested in Mexico and no nego- tiations to that end have ever beemmade among tho Central American states General Ezata's visit to Mexico is be- lieved to be due to tho fact that he is Mexican by birth. It is believed his visit has no political significance, either as to the reported union or Mexico's al- legged purpose of furnishing him an army with which to reenter San Salvador.
