RITuALISM.

The Bishop OF Ohio at the recent
Episcopal Council of his State, said
SIT is passing strange that men in
holy orders should be found as traitors
in the camp. There are such men,
though. By their subtle and sophistical
utterances, they have most carefully
made such expressions as would pro-
tect their authors from immediate dis
cipline under the laws of the church,
while they have done great d IN se to
souls by their inuendoes and their in
depreciation of service. have q pro-
found contempt for such deceitful and
dishonorable methods"
Another class of reformers are those
who feel that the Episcopal Church is
too homely and plain and barren 10
her ritual observances; they call them
selves Catholics without realizing that
they have narrowed down that glorious
word to their own little sect, and they,
plying the old-fashioned conservation
of honest. steady. going churchm II, are
attempting to restore what they call
the ancient glares of the AMe lican
communion.
They advertise themselves extern lively,
they express themselves freely. Like the
ra.ionaists they are s"5tle ard scrupulous.
" CAREFUL not to 90 too far. But they go just
y far as they dare. They give anxiety and
a noyance to other bishops they distress and
alternate many of their less ritualistic breth-
rem, and they stir up the body of the people,
w1o are led to think by the boldness Of their
utterances that the entire church is in SYM
plthy with them, but at present has not the
courage of its real convictions.
~ dare not trust myself to characterize
these gentlemen, but 1 am very thankful to
state that in this diocese we have little Of
these two sorts of annoyances, and they re-
ceive no sympathy of encouragement from
the bishop of Ohio or his flock"

srREcKELs CoNFEssEs JUDGMENT

SPRECKELs CoNFEssEs JUDGMENT
Before Claus Spreckels, the sugar king,
left San Francisco with his wife for
New York late Friday night, on their
way to Europe, he confessedj judgment on
the suit for SANDER brought against him
by his SOP, G. A. Spreckels. The rea-
son given for this action is that Spreck-
els: senior, received information that
his son would seek to prevent his de-
parture for Europe. Accordingly, the
loyal sons, John D. and A. B. Spreck-
els, in order to save their father further
annoyance, instructed the attorneys in
the case to confess judgment and end
the matter for the present. The SLAM
der suit was based on newspaper in
terview in which the father said his son
had wasted his money and would soon
be bankrupt. Claus Spreckels will not
admit that he has confessed judgment
in moral sense, so he has instructed
his attorneys to begin suit for an ac-
counting against c. A. Spreckels, to
compel him to account for all the
money he handled for his father.

The North Carolina monument to the
Confederate dead was unveiled today

elaborate and the city was crowded.
The monument is ofMt. Airy granite,
of light color and fine grained. It is
of total height of 70 feet inches.
At the foot OF the shaft is base 24x26
feet, at each corner of which are cleo
trio lamps of three burners each. Part
" up the shaft stand two bronze STA
tues, one of cannoneer, hammer in
hands and in very spirited attitude.
On the opposite side is cavalryman,
dismounted, with sabre half drawn
from its scabbard, and also 10 life
like attitude. On two other faces of
the monument are circular brown me-
dalions, one bearing the seal of North
caroline. the other that of the Confed-
ate States. On one face of the base are
the words "North Carolina to Her
Confederate Dead" and on another
face the words, First at Battle, Last at

portion of the shaft is on block of
stone 26 feet high and weighing $1,000
pounds. At the top of the monument
is another bronze figure, that of an H.
fantryman, in light marching order,
standing in easy position. with musket
lightly clasped with both hands. The
two other statues are life-sized and
are modelled from life, the model being
q Raleigh veteran, but the topmost
statue is 8 feet 10 inches high and
weighs $500 pounds. All the bronze
work was done in the fall of 1894 at
the royal foundry at Munich, Bavaria.

Sad Career of Robert Tyler Jones.

Sad Career of Robert Tyler Jones.
Robert Tyler Jones. grandson of
President Tyler, and one who posses
sed the unique position of being the
only male child ever born in the White
House, died in lodgings in Washington
on Saturday.
Robert Tyler Jones had been cap
tain in the Confederate army, and was
O brave and faithful soldier. HIS story,
romantic as it is, is one of the saddest
that romance could possibly contrive.
1t is one of those cases where some
malignant fate seemed to pursue the
victim, and where nothing but death
would satisfy its claim.
1t was during Tyler's occupation of
the White House that son was born
to Mary Tyler Jones, the eldest and
favorite daughter of the President, and
The wife of Henry l.. Jones, an accom- :,
plisbed soutberner, native of South
Carolina. This child. named Robert
Tyler, in memory of his mothers favor
tie brother, was the man of 81, who,
worn and broken by life of constant
toll and struggle, died on Saturday.
Young Jones was reared by his aunt,
Airs. Letitia Tyler Semple, at one time
mistress of the White House. This
lady is now q resident of the Louise
Home, in Washington.
The young man spent his early youth
ia travel with his father, who was in
the naval service, and after this settled
down TO quiet life near Williamsburg.
When the war broke out he joined the
Charles City Guards, a Confederate
company, that was afterwards attached
TO Armis.ead's Brigade of Pickett's
Division.
1t was in this service that Jones, then
a private, won bis first laurels. In the
battle of Gettysburg he was one Of the
two men left of the color guard in
Armistead's Brigade, when the terrible
charge was made on Cemetery Ridge.
He carried the flag up the fatal slope,
and twice was struck, once in the head
and once in the arm, falling at the stone
wall, which proved so fatal point for
many brave men. Armistead himself
seized the flag from the color-bearer's
hands and carried it within the works,
where be, too, fell, MORALLY wounded.
When the action was over Jones was
one of FIVE out of seventy five in his
command who was still alive, though
he was sorely wounded. Out of 1000
men in Pickett's Division, but 1900 re-
manned. The private was promoted to
the rank of ensign, with brevet lieut.
enancy, and later was promoted for
bravery in the field TO the rank of cap
tain. After the war, however, he was
left without means, and of late years
his life had been struggle for exis-
tcrce. He leaves widow and infant
child.

SOME PEOPLE are complaining of the
expense to which the Governor has put
the State by sending troops to Poca-
hontas. That expense is large, to be
sure, and the State is poor, but better
the treasury be drained dry, than that a
mob should have had its own way and
wrought such destruction to life and
property as would have gratifed its
reckless desires. No matter what may
be said Of the Governor in respect Of
other things, in that of the one referred
TO, he is clearly right. In such cases

The STRIKE of the miners in the
Pitts5urg district has ended, such OF
the strikers as were reemployed going
back to work at less wages than they
were receiving when they struck, and
than those they had previously rejected.
That at Pocahontas, in this State, will
probably have a similar ending. The
mine owners, by rise of cent or two
a ton on coal, will soon recover their
loss, but that of the miners has gone for
ever. And yet, judging from expert
ence, the latter will strike again next

suit. The strike craze seems to be in
