The Episcopal bishops assembled in
this city have concluded that the church
desires supreme head. Its members
want some kind of Protestant pope and
yet they do not like the name Protestant
either, and propose changing the present
title to that of the Holy Roman Catholic
Church, or something nearly equivalent.
This will have DIRECTORS, Of course, but
step by step they are moving on towards
the ancient faith.

nearer they get to the Church Of Rome
the further they separate themselves
from Episcopal sympathies.
Hence, is 1t not more probable that
these extreme ritualists will eventually
overleap the single barrier that blocks
their course toward Rome than that
they will remain where the distinctive
conditions generally are opposed and
discountenanced by the dominant sem
timent?

THE. Re. c. BURDICK co.
Is i'm Financial Difficulty With Credi-
tors=-An Effort to be Made to
Adjust Matters so That the Com
PAW can Continue i'm Business.

The public will be panied to know
that the E. G. Burdick company, con-
tractors and builders, are in imam
cial straights, and to such an extent
as to cause action on the part OF
creditors to look into the condition of
affairs and see whau can be done.
The mater was brought to crisis
yesterday afternoon by the action OF
the National Citizens bank in making
application to the court for the ap-
pointment of a receiver of the COM
pany.
A meeting of the larger creditors
was held at the office of Hughes,
Rice & Hughes this morning at which
time Mr.. Burdick gave as nearly as he
could, the liabilities and assets of the
company. Having unsettled accounts
with many of the parties with whom
he had contracts, Mr.. Burdick could
not give exact figures of what was ow-
ing his company, but he feels con-
fident that his figures on assets will
not vary much from SCI 300 with liza
bilities at about $4,000. In these
figures the Security block is figured at
only SAC, 900 when in fact it ought to
bring ten thousand dollars more than
this. AS there is mortgage on the
block of $4,000 it would be more to
the point to eleminate this feature of
the assets and liabilities, which, if
done, would leave assets at about $42,-
900 with liabilities at about S3S, 900.
This is on the basis Of figuring the
Security block as before stated, $780,
600. Mr.. Burdick claims that this
building cost his company S49, 900 with
$4,000 additional for the lot, and he
claims also that this figures nothing
for his own time and that of his part
ners which, if added to the actual
cost of the property as it now stands
would exceed rather than underrun
$4,000. If this be true then ten
thousand dollars should be added to
the assets which would bring them to
$4,000 with $4,000 indebtness leav-
ing out the question of mortgage.
When all bills are in and the extra
amount of the liabilities are known
there will no doubt be found some
changes in the figures herein noted.
Another meeting of the creditors will
be held in few days and an effort
will then be made, if all creditors are
agreeable, to the continuation of the
company under a trusteeship. 1t is
believed that by such a course the
creditors will be able to realize the
full amount of their claims, whereas
if the company is put in the hands of
a receiver the creditors will be very
ant to come out at the ''little end of
the horn"
The announcement of the embar-
rassment of the Burdick company
will create profound sympathy in Man
kato and elsewhere where the mem
bers of the firm are known. They
are gentlemen of untiring energies
and of good business, capacity, and

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
recently perfected an ingenious cure
for dyspepsia. Their Digestive Cor
dial consists of a food already digested
and digester of foods happily COM
bined.
The Importance of this invention
will be appreciated when we realize
what proportion of the community
are victims of some form of stomach
trouble. Thousands of pale, thin
people have little inclination to eat,
and what they do eat causes them
pain and distress.
This Digestive Cordial of the
Shakers corrects any stomach derange-
ment at once. 1t makes thin people
plump. Every one will be greatly in
terested to read the little book which
has been placed in the hands of drug
gisUs for free distribution.

Oil made as palatable as honey. Chill

A Significant Departure.

With the departure of another year
when review is made of the condi-
tion of affairs. lit is only right that
some thought be given to the physi-
cal body which enables everyone to
battle with life's problem and figure
for themselves the profit or loss on
the trial balance sheet. Though the
bank account may be large and each
ones material gain be great, it would
not be surprising if it suddenly dawns
upon many that good health has been
greatly impoverished by the low con-
dition of the blood. 1t is in this state
that the lactlc acid in the vital fluid
attacks the fbrous tissues. particularly
the joints, making known the local
manifestations of rheumatism. Thou
sands of people have found in Hoods
Sarsaparilla the great blood purifier. a
positive and permanent cure for rheu-
matiSm.
