MORE POWER FOR BISHOPS.

Protestant Episcopal Convention Con-
siders a Radical Change in Policy.
A revolutionary measure, affecting the
policy of the Protestant Episcopal church,
has been introduced before tie Diocesan
Convention of Central Pennsylvania. The
proposed change is in the form OF
motion which advocates the transference
of the choice of rectors from the vestry OF
the parish to the Bishop of the diocese.
The Gust ON in the church is for the vestry
to call a pastor, while the Bishop has the
nomination i'll exceptional cases only. AS
it now stands canon 7 OF the diocese OF
Central Pennsylvania provides, IN accord
ance with the general law, that the vestry
of every parish shall have the right OF
election of the rector for that parlsh. Inc
proposed radical change would substitute
for this the following:
Whenever the rectorate of any parish be-
comes vacant 1t shall be the duty OF tne NestIy
forthwith to give notice to the bishop OF the ul-
ocese, together with statement OF the support
which the parish pledges itself TO pay 10 the
new rector. Whereupon it shall become tne
duty of the bishop to provide for the celebra-
ton OF divine services in said parish oy teI1-
porary, supply. (two-thirds OF the regular sal
ary to be paid for such service), and to I'LL the
vacancy by appointment within ninety days
from the date of the receipt of the aforesaid no.
tlce Should the bishop fail to make the ap-
pointment within the prescribed time. the YES.
try may elect priest to fill the vacancy, and
give due notice thereof to the ecclesiastical au-
thority of the diocese.
In the event of q disagreement between any
parish and its rector the same shall be referred
to the bishop for adjustment, and his decision
in the matter shall be final.
The question as to whether the vestry or
the Bishop shall have the right of election
of rectors has already been the cause of
much argument throughout the Protestant
Episcopal church, and recently there has
been evident strong desire on the part of
many for change from the present sys-
tenn. The advocates of commission by the
Bishops contend that it will to great
extent do away with the shelving of
many clergymen who happen for one cause
or another to be without a parish, as the
Bishop would, under the proposed order
of things, have power to appoint them to
parish. On the other hand, the laity are
inclined to be jealous of any enlargement
of episcopal powers by lessening OF lay
privileges.

like block. By this means, instead of q
single coupling, there are two connections
forming double guard against any posi-
bility of disconnection by breakage, as has
sometimes resulted from too great strain
on the links in the generally used link and
pin coupler. The links 90 occasionally
give way, and that is why cars can often
be seen joined also by chains as pre-
caution against their being separated.
The recent invention has provided for
such contingency by this double grip ar
rapgement
David J. Stevenson of Virginia City,
New, is the inventor of the new coupler
which he calls the Stevenson double hook
automatic car-coupler. He is a railroad
employe and locomotive engineer, and for
eleven years has studied on the problem
which he believes his present device has
solved.
In 1884 he got out patent on an auto
matte link and pin coupler, but the master
mechanics, having condemned the use of a
INK ana pin connection, he set about de-
vlslng a coupling that would be free from
that objection and embrace all the advan-
tages @ OF an efficient automatic continuance.
When seen yesterday at the Grand
Hotel Stevenson explained his invention.
he completed it two months ago, and has
just applied for patent.

MRS. JAMIESON-TURNER.
She Has Returned From the Sound on
the UmatiIIa.


the Umatil1a.
Mrs. Jameson Taylor Turner arrived
from Port Townsend on the steamer
Umatilla last night. She only remained
at her home in Port Angeles for five days.
While in San Francisco she was known as
Mrs. Jameson. For her trip north she
assumed the name of Mrs. J. A. Taylor,
ana when she took passage at Port Town
send she gave the name of Mrs. J. A.
Turner.
From this fact the passengers on the
Umatilla surmsed that Mrs. Jamieso
and young ]. Arthur Turner have entered
into contract marriage. According to
their way of thinking Turner swore to the
contract before notary public here and
Mrs. Jameson swore to it in Port Angeles
and had her father for witness. The old
gentleman met her at Port Townsend and
was also there TO bid her good-by.
When the Umatilla docked Mrs. jamie
son-Turner could not be found. Look in
the captains room, said a man who was
packing his valise. s'Mrs. Turner has
voyage. You'll have to be very careful
however, as Captain Hunter has arranged
TO get the lady ashore very quietly and she
will remain in seclusion until everybody
else is ashore"
rs there not Mrs. Turner on the pas
senger list?" the captain was asked. The
captain shook his head and said, "You
must ask the purser. don't know the
names of any OF the passengers"
Mrs. Turner answered very readily to
her name when spoken to. She denied
the story that was telegraphed, to the
effect that she was going to England to re-
join Turner. II am going to Los An
geles. said she, land there 1 expect to
work for my living. Before going there
took a trip to the Sound to see my father.

Union for Home Missionary

Work.
Three much discussed societies, the
Women's American Liberal League, the
Silent Workers and the Women's Ameri-
can Union, have been amalgamated in the
last-named organization. The purpose of
the infant society is stated to be the fur
therapce of the work of purifying San
Francisco's moral atmosphere.
Mrs. A. B. Shepherd stated that the real
purpose of last evenings poorly attended
mass-meeting at Metropolitan Temple was
to secure more mem bers for the union, al
though incidentally there was much dis
cussion of the need of a more moral en-
yironment than is found in many homes.
Mrs. A. G. Wells spoke of the need of
harmony in all reform work. Mrs. II. NJ.
Chandler followed in the same line. Mrs.
Chandler also sang Last Night
Mrs. Anna Smith contended that there
could be no morality without liberty.
Mrs. L. P. Moore, Mrs. Gilley and
others gave short addresses, in which they
were united as to purpose but differed as
to means.
The union, whose full title is the
Woman's American Union for Home
Missionary Work. is officered by Mrs. a.

1t was decided to report favorably the
petitition OF I. Worth for a temporary
track for grading purposes across Six

across Seventeenth to Utah.
The committee decided to give contract
ors who have begun private contracts on
the streets chance. before putting the
regulations regarding private contracts
into effect. The report of George W. Ell
der. the expert on streets, showed that
hardship would be worked on contractors
if the regulations went into effect at once.
He advised that the contractors be allowed
until January to finish the work now on

Chairman Spreckels spoke in favor of
the measure, which was carried without a
dissenting vote.

A SAFETY CAR-COUPLER.
Double Claws Jam Into Op-
posite Boxes and Catch
Over Blocks.
An Automatic Device Perfected to
Avoid Danger in Connecting Cars
by Hand.

At last an old railroad employe and
engineer is confident that he has designed
coupling that will join all sorts of rail-
road cars instantly on impact and without
subjecting men to the danger OF the pres
ent method of link and pin coupling per-
formed by hand.
A model of the device shows very
simple construction by which, when two
cars bump together, the opening in the
coupler on one car receives the hook from
the coupler of the other car and there is
an instantaneous double locking, the hook
on the side of each box being thrust into
the opposite box and catching over latch
