THE EPIsCOPALIANS.

In the house of deputies of the Epis-
copal convention at Minneapolis yes
terday the report of the trustees for the
fund for the relief of aged and in
firm clergymen and widows and or
phans of clergymen showed that the
receipts for three years had been $751;
494, and that for SO clergymen, 166
widows and "a orphans S48,295 had
been paid out. The house was asked
to name a Sunday in each year as cler-
gy relief Sunday.
Atlanta was chosen the convention
city in 1898 if the bishops concur.
The announcement that Atlanta had
won in the deputies was received with
establishment in the house of bishops,
and it was declared by number OF
bishops that the upper house would
not be likely to concur in the selection.
The house of bishops adopted the
recommendation of its committee or
dering the division of the missionary
jurisdiction of Wyoming and Idaho in
to two districts, the present bishop to
continue in charge OF both. The ques-
ton of filling the vacancy in the west
err see of Colorado was then taken up.
A number of messages were received
from the House of Bishops as TO action
on constitutional matters. One OF the
most important was the adoption Of
article ~, providing for the erection
of provinces of not less than FIVE do
ceses, the head of q province to be
named archbishop. Consideration Of
this was deferred until the "primate"
question could be settled. There was
lively debate over the point as to
whether the primate should be elected
or hold his Office by virtue of seniority.
The House of Deputies had sharp
debate in the afternoon on the question
whether the primate, or head of the
House of Bishops, should be elected or
hold Office through seniority of service.
An attempt was made to reconsider
the vote by which the term presiding
bishop" was rejected in favor of pri-
mate, and the motion only lacked
eight votes of going through. The
deputies spent about all of the after
noon discussing these two questions,
and when an adjournment was taken
the section had not been adopted.
To-day Mr.. Bourgeoine, of Pittsburg,
submitted several proposed amend
ments as to the rules of the convention,
one providing that resolutions submit
ted to the convention might either be
submitted to standing or special COM
mittee, on the election of any member
of the house, or might be acted upon
by the house without such reference.
The proposed amendment was adopted.
The committee on expenditures re.
commended that Buchanan Winthrop
be elected treasurer of the house. The
committee also offered several resolu.
tions fixing the salaries of officers OF the
house for the ensuing three years. The
report was adopted.
A communication was received from
the colored church convention. asking
for the establishment of school for
the education of colored people. Re-
fsrred.
The house proceeded to the order of
the day, being the consideration of the
new constitution.

It was 2 O'Clock in the morning and the
policeman stood on the corner watching
the hours of the night go by, without MAX
ing the slightest effort to arrest them,
when he saw man come out of a gate
just across the street and approach him.
'What were you doing in there?'' in
quired the officer.
"That's all right, Mr.. Officer" replied
the man. "What want to know is how far
am I from bed?''
E'Well, it isn't very far to the station
house, and there's a bed there"
''That's all right, Mr.. Officer, but what
want to know is, do you know how far 1
am from bed?''
"Where do you 1ive?''

THE SANITARY FORCE.
The New Men Take Charge OF Their
Duties Today.

Duties Today.
DR.. j. B. Hibben was succeeded today
as city physician by DR.. Mitchell. who
was appointed by the mayor several
weeks since. The sanitary condition
of the city has been kept in remarka :
bly, healthy state during Dr. Hibben's
service and the number of con-
tagious diseases has been limited to
a minimum by the vigorous action of the
city physician and the health depart
ment under his charge. There have
been no epidemics during the past two
years, although cities and towns
about IFS have been scourged with
smallpox, schools in other places
have been closed on account of
diphtheria and other malignant diseases
DR.. Mitchell may feel we'll satisfied if he
makes record similar to that of his pre-
decessor. DR.. Hibben is good Repub-
lican and has made a splendid city
physician, but unfortunately he did not
support the new mayor at the primaries,
and his head had to go into the basket
according to the present executive policy.
He will engage in the general practice
of medicine.
The old sanitary force has been prac-
ticalIy discharged today with the excep-
ton of Nelson Mcconnell who was a
Fellows worker at the primaries J. NJ.
Miller is still retained in his former
place. The others are new men, john
Allen and Messrs. Smith, Fowler and

China and in 1898 passed such sue
cessful examination before the Canton
presbytery that he was ordained to
preach in China. Desiring, however. to
become as proficient in English as he
was in Chinese and to be able to preach
on two continents, he returned to San
Francisco and began theological course
in English. Thus far it is said, but

CROPS ALL OVER KANSAS.
Weather Crop Bulletin Shows Northern
Kansas Better Off Than Southern.

The weekly weather crop bulletin
issued from Weather Observer Jenning s'
Office from Topeka shows that the April
Just passed has been the warmest and
dryest April for q good many years. Only
.93 of an inch of rain has fallen, whereas
in 1891 nearly four inches fell. The
mean temperature for the month was
603, ranging from % to IS degrees.
The crop report says that warm, dry
week has given abundant opportunity
for blowing and planting. The temper
ature has averaged about degrees ex-
cess daily, while the deficiency in rain
fall for last week has continued over
into this and been increased, though fair
showers have fallen in Hamilton, Cove,
Sheridan, Ottawa and the central por-
tions of Sumner and Coffey counties.
In the eastern division all crops are be-
ginning to show the need of rain. In the
northern counties conditions are more
favorable than in the central or southern.
Oats, grass and corn are not pushing
ahead as fast as usual, while wheat,
generally, is not as promising as a week
ago, though there are some exceptions.
Corn is being cultivated for the second
time in the south and the first cultiva-
ton has begun in the central counties.
Stock is generally on pasture but water
is getting lower every day.

In the western division conditions
have materially improved during the

BURIAL OF OLD SOLDIERS.
Supreme Court Decides Their Fami1ie

Supreme Court Decides Their Families
May Choose Their Own Undertaken.
The supreme court has decided that
the families of deceased old soldiers may
select their own undertaken when an old
soldier dies and the county must pay the
$50 allowed by law for the burial of des-
titute veterans of the late war.
When Carl Fl. Peterson died last July
his relatives had no money, but they Sc
cured M. Hogan, friend of the family,
to bury the old veteran.
Quoted the SO aud put in a claim to the
county for 500. The county refused to pay
the bill because the county officers did not
hire the undertaken, but the supreme
court has now decided that Mr.. Hogan
must be paid and that county officers
can not interfere with the family in the
selection of an undertaken in such cases..

KANSAS mortgages Law DECIDED
The Mortgage Redemption Law Doesn't
Apply to Prior Contracts.


The famous Kansas mortgage re-
demption law passed by the legislature
of 1898 has finally been decided by the
supreme court and the court holds that
this law does not apply to prior con-
tracts.
There were two cases before the court
involving the same question. One was
from Shawnee county that of John L.
Beverly vs. Martha Barnitz and the 9th
er from Harper county entitled, j. g.
Watkins VS.. Marshall, Fl. Glenn, ct al
The syllabus was written by Jude g
Horton. who in the Harper county case
says:
ANY subsequent law of the state
which SO affects the remedy as substan-
TALLY to impair and lessen the value of
the contract is forbidden by article l,
section 10, of the constitution of the
United States, which ordains that ''no
state shall pass any law impairing the
obligation of contracts"
Chapter 100, session laws of 1898, con-
corning the sale and redemption of real
estate. has no retroactive operation, and
therefore does not apply to mortgage
contracts existing at and before its pass
age. If the legislature intended the act
to apply to such contracts, it violates
article 1, section 10, of the constitution
of the United States"
In the syllabus of the Shawnee county
case Judge Horton says:
"Chapter 109, Session Laws of 1898,
relating to the sale and redemption of
real estate. does not apply to mortgages
given prior to the passage of that act"
The opinions covering this decision
are long and are concurred in by Justice
johnson, while Justice Allen dissents in
a lengthy review of the case
