support of the bishop, stipulation
that irritateS many churchmen, none
Of whom, however, are bishops
Limitations are placed in the power
of a diocese to turn over its mission
airy territory to the general board of
missions.
Article VIII. gives the declara ton of
belief to which all candidates for the
ministry must assent. "A noticeable
phrase is "to conform to the doctrine
of the church" instead Of the doc
trines," and the well-worn controversy
ever this distinction will doubtless
break out in the convention.
The spirit that animateS the pro-
posed constltdtion is long step for
ward in the direction of what may be
called the prelatical type of episco-
pacy. This has been ably brought out
by the Rev. DR.. John Fulton, the
learned editor Of The Church stand
ard, in a series of articles in his paper.
He says: THE devil himself could
devise no greater evil for episcopacy
in the United States than would in
fallibly follow If the wise adaptation
Of the historic episcnpate to American
institutions, which was devised CEN
fury ago, were to be overthrow, and
all autocratic or prelatlcal episcopate
erected on its ruins"
The meetings will be held in Geth-
semane church. Bishop II. b. Whip
pie will do the Episcopal honors for
the state. Among the bishops who
will receive especial notice are Potter.

RIFLTD VALUABLE LETTERS
Former Well Known Fond du Lac
Man Under Arrest

Chicago, Sept. 29.--Peter Stephen
son. of Neshkoro, Wis, a postal clerk
who runs on the route from Chicago
to Neenah, Wis, has been arrested on
a charge Of rifiing letters. For some
time there have been complaints of
rifed registered letters on the route
but no one IN authority dreamed Of
Stephenson In connection with the
matter.
Yesterday Inspector NJ. g. Price
mailed a registered letter at Stevens
Point. directed to Oshkosh. In 1t
were four marked one-dollar bills.
The letter had to come To Chicago
first, as It was mailed OH the run,
and would have been sent back. over
the same route Wednesday evening
Stephenson reported his registered
letters ait Chicago. The marked
letter was among the lot.
In order to make every
thing doubly sure and not suspeeting
it had been tempered with Inspector
Price opened Ii. The bills were gone.
The inspector called Stephenson out
and showed him the letters. Stephen

the upper house. This would make
twenty-nine quorum, which means
that fifteen bishops might exercise the
authority of the whole house. 1t is
provided that the upper house elect a
president from its own number, VINO
shall be called primus. Under the
present arrangement the presiding
bishop is always an old man, and
therefore not always able to perform
the increasingly onerous duties of the
office. The constitutional quorum Of
the house of deputies Is also inereasel,
and II is provided that the two houses
may sit in joint session.
Article III. contains nothing new.
Article III. is important. 1t has a dec
laration, new to the church, that the
general synod is the supreme legs-
iatiye authority. Bishops alone are
to compose the court for the trial az
a bishop. The power to define or re-
wise doctrine is taken from the general
synod and lodged with the bishops
alone, as the sole and supreme judges
of what the doctrines of the church
are. 1t Is a most radical provision.
The house of bishops is constituted
final court of appeals. Provision is
made for the association of contiguous
dloceseS in provinces, each province
to have its chief bishop TO be called
a primate.
In article V. four changes are pro-
posed: Missionary bishops are to be
chosen by the house of bishops alone;
the house of Bishops alone shall have
the right to send bishops to foreign
lands; new bishops must have the
consent of majority Of the bishops
and the house of bishops shall have
the right to meet at any time for any
except that of legislation.
Article VII. raises the number of
self7supporting parishes end settled
pastors in proposed new diocese
from six to ten. It'retalns the stipula-
ton in the old constitution that no
new diocese shall he formed until sat
lsfactory provision is made for the

church, because it will act on Il pro-
noSed new constitution and canonS for
the church to be reported by COM
mission appointed by the last general
convention. The report Of the COM
mission is extremely radical i'll some
things, and If its suggestions are
adopted the Episcopal church will be
reyolutionized. As there are now
fftv-two dioceses and twelve mission
ary jurisdictions in this country, and
seven foreign Jurisdictions, the con
vention has become large body, too
large, indeed, and therefore the pro-
vision III the new constitution reduc-
ing The represe ntation to three of each
order from each diocese will meet the
hearty approval OF every one but the
odd men, who will be shut ont.

women as lay members, Rev. Messrs.

RECEIVERS APPOINTED.
NEW MANAGERS OF NORTH
ERN PACIFIC ROAD.

Milwaukee, Sept. 23.--All specula-
ton as to the outcome of the resigna-
ton of the Northern Pacific receivers
was set at rest yesterday by Judge
jenkins by the appointment of Edwin
McHenry, of st. Paul. and Frank q.
BigeloW, OF Milwaukee, as the success
sors of the triumyirate that has been
in control.
This settles the fact that the circuit
court for the eastern district of Wis
consin will hold to its primary juris-
dietion Of the Northern Pacific matter
unless it is ordered to abandon the po-
sition by a higher court. Its action
may result in the appointment of an
other set Of receivers by the court at
Seattle, the order from which, assum-
ing primary jurisdiction caused the
late receivers TO tender their resigna-
tons. The disaster TO the property
interests Involved by such n proceed
ing caDiot be oyerestimated. That
nearly all the interests involved will
unite to prevent such catastrophe is
evident from the attitude taken in
court when the designations were be-
ing considered.
All the lawyers acting as general
counsel for the different interests, ex-
cepting Mr.. Turner, have left for Sc
attic to be in court when the case
against the old receivers is called next
Wednesday. 1t is very likely that a
supreme effort will be made to have
the receivers appointed by Judge
Jenkins yesterday confirmed by that
court.

Sale of seats now open.
 It is doubtful if the announcement of any attraction at the theater, no matter of what nature, creates any more pleasurable anticipation, nor en- joys the same well-grounded confidence in advance, than Sol Smith Russell, who will present "The Heir at Law his great successor Thursday evening. The sale of seats will open this morn ing.
 Ward and Vokes will present their great success, "A Run on the Bank" on Friday evening, February 22. An exchange says: The Messrs. Ward and Vokes, whose success as vaudeville artists is well known, made highly successful debut as stars last night in "A Run on the Bank" before a large and demonstrative audience in the Bijou theater. Sale of seats opens Tuesday.
 Canary & Lederers big New York Casino production, "The Passing Show" will be at the Hyperion next Saturday afternoon and evening. The piece has been the genuine novelty of the season. Nothing like it has ever been seen be- fore. It is clever satire on current theatrical and musical literature. The company numbers over one hundred people and includes many artists of wide reputation.

Grand Opera House.

A story of a little fisher maiden. of
 how she loved an honest man and
 fought wicked one-such is the plot
 of "she Couldn't Marry Three" in
 which that most charming of all our soubrettes, Miss Lillian Kennedy, will appear the first three nights this week, with matinee Wednesday. The story of the play IS true to nature, but very ex- citing. Bess Brandons the heroine, is a gentle and innocent little girl as fresh and wholesome as the sea air she breathes One day she saves a gentle man named Kingston from drowning
 and then falls into the deeper sea of love With him. A rascal named Meri- deth also loves Bess and covets the lands owned by Kingston, to which he is next heir. Merideth tries to get rid of Kingston for these two reasons, and though he almost loses his life in an attempt to carry out his wicked plan,
 he does succeed in persuading Kingston that his wife is unfaithful. Kingston deserts his wife and for three years she is persecuted by Merideth, who wants her to believe that her husband is dead Finally Kingston hears the truth and hurries back to Bess. He also attempts to settle his long score with Merideth, but in the struggle with him is worsted. The villain is tying King ston to the railroad track in the path of the express, when Bess flies to the rescue Even then Merideth would have carried out his wicked purpose had not Dave Holt appeared and shot him dead. The story is absorbing, but in spite of its serious incidents there Is plenty of light and gayety in it, and Miss Kenne- dy dances and sings as we'll as acts her way into the hearts of the audience. The scenery has all been specially paint ed for this production and includes some rarely beautiful views of the sea coast, of the ruined Abbey and the lighthouse by the sea. The engine and cars used in the sensational railroad scene are more realistic than anything of the kind that has ever been seen on the stage.
 Florence Bindley will appear the last three days in the sensational comedy drama, 'The Captains Mate."
