breezy. handsome fellow, like most sailormen, and you wouldn't believe either lie or Mrs. Daniels has been on the lake as long as they have.
 We'll. to continue the story, Capt.. George. who Is immensely proud of Capt. Philemona. went to his lawyer to make inquiries. He found that woman pilot was unheard of "Is there any legal bar, he asked, to my wifes getting a pilots license on Lake Cham plain?a
 Don't lnow,' said the lawyer, .Well see the inspector. ; The in- spector was just as much taken by sur- prise. He didn't know, but he said he'd write to Washington
 The inspector wrote to Washington. Nobody could find the word male" in that new law anywhere, and it was so reported. Then Capt. Philemona took her examination and got her license, There was rejoicing in the Daniels fam fly. you may be sure, that day.
 She has had to take fresh examina- ton every year since, and while she is modestly silent about these, Capt. George speaks right out in meeting: They make 1t just as hard for her as they can, he says: ''a deal harder than for me; but she always comes out fly ing Why, she knows every inch of the lake bottom, just like she was fner- maid. She knows every rock. every shoal and every bit of shore She could run up Otter creek when the waters lowest with her eyes shut. You see she's just lived on the water.n So the Daniels family has two cap tains, and the two captains have two steamboats; that isn't all. The two sons, Fletcher Daniels and Fred Daniels, men of thirty and twenty respectively, act as engineers, one for Capt. George, the other for Capt. Phiie- mona And so, when the Little Nellie is running the regular trip to Wesport, and the Water Lily is chartered by an excursion party to the Thousand Isl- ands or elsewhere, it's all i'll the family.
 Before leaving Westport one notes another instance of the new woman there in the shape of large summer inn run entirely by women, with no man in the building higher in rank than porter, or boots This is q com mon enough phenomenon in soldier cursed Europe, but not here.

fervor that nothing can lessen. His latest inclination is towards bowling, a rather fatigning sport, it must be ad- mitted, but he never wearies of 1t and he has made some strikes that opened the eyes of competitors who supposed he had no muscle. He sent his ball fly ing with terrific effect on one occasion and made the youth in charge of his bowling alley leap in consternation as the pins flew about. The governor apologized to the youth with his usual ineffable courtesy. For hours one afternoon he devoted himself to the game, and is wonderfully proficient, thanks to the clearness and steadiness of his eye and arm. Mir Morton has always been an expert swordsman and can invariably defeat any antagonist of fair ability. He learned this accom- plishment in France. It seems that he was eager to take up golf but official business denied him the leisure.
 The governors banking interests, by the way, are prospering amazingly. His firm is understood to have made great deal of money out of Argentines and to have considerable influence over the European stock market There Is not much doubt that the republican dele gation from his own state will be for him when the nex6 national conven- tion meets. He himself is dumb on matters presidential and carefully re- frains from insinuating even in most indirect manner that he is aware that a presidential election impends. All the same he takes care of his physical con dition. and whatever may be said of his age it is the simple. truth that no presi- dential possibility ever lived a more athletic life.

episeopacy may place Bishop Potter in the primates chair. This brilliant churchman is too well known for de tailed mention, and the fact that he is likely to become archbishop need sur. prise no one.
 The most aggressive advocate of the changes in the church, and the man most likely to receive the high church support, is Rt. Rev. William Paret, bishop of Maryland for the past ten years. He has long been the chiet champion of the rights of the episco- pacy. He has on more than one occa- sion come into collision with the party which deems the prelatical contingent too aggressive. Notwithstanding the number of his supporters in the house of bishops, there is every likelihood of a strong opposition to him, and his course in opposing revival methods may result in his defeat. The law and the organization of the church axe to him absolute fnalities.
 The remaining bishops are all pre- pairing for the great alterations im- pending. The commission itself, so well equipped with prelatical talent, will present it's case to the general con vention with the most adequate sup port The notifications are all in line with tradition and ecclesiastical polity. The concensus of opinion throughout the church has been found to be dis tinctly favorable. It is true that the question of the site of the primate's see remains still an open one. The capital of the nation being deemed not sufficiently central, a possibility re- mains that Chicago will have that dis tinction conferred upon it. The bishop of that diocese, William Edward Me Laren, is convert to Episcopalianism, and an extreme high ehurchman. He was originally Presbyterian minister, and was, in 1860, a missionary to South America. He became an Episcopalian quarter of century ago, and the geographical situation of his diocese may make him the first primate.
 When the deliberations over all these matters will end no one can venture to predict But the vast church is on the eve of an epoch making transforms tion, and the result cannot but interest Christians of all creeds.

ment. 1t has not to-day a million ac- credited members, although this is due
 to its rather rigid construction of what
 membership means, In reality, it has far larger body of supporters. In the
 great cities of New York, Philadelphia,
 Boston, Baltimore, it is particularly in-
 huential.
 As is well known, the church con
 tains three schools of thought: The
 high churehman, the low ehurchman,
 and the broad churchman. These
 three will come into contact-probably
 into collision, when the great conven-
 tion meets. So vast is the change to
 be made, and so many are the details
 of government to be modified that no
 event in the history of the church can
 compare with it's importance.
 First of all will be the question of
 the creation of a general synod. This
 body will entirely supercede the con-
 vention, and that body will be called
 upon to consider, therefore, it's own
 annihilation. It is proposed to have
 the synod composed of the house of
 bishops and the house of deputies,
 "ntSA dIc tO Slb dHu uc11pS-idbC oCPd-
 rately. That this innovation com
 mends itself favorably to the church seems already foreshadowed. The
 house of bishopx is to be composed of every bishop in the church having jurisdiction, every bishop-coadjutor
 and bishops whose resignation of juris- diction shall have been accepted. But the innovation most likely to ere ate difference of opinion will be the creation of a primus. This functionary IS to be quite parsonage. He shall be elected by majority vote by the bishops from one of their own number. He is to hold office for life, unless he resigns or is removed for ''canonical cause" There has been much discus sion as to the eecsesiastic worthy of this high distinction. Bishop Williams, of Connecticut, is most favorably men toned
 The house of deputies is to consist of presbyters (not more than three from one church) and laymen from the churches in each diocese which shall have been admitted to the general synod" It has been practically decided that the general synod, which no one doubts is to be created, shall meet on the first Wednesday of October in every third year, after the year 1898, at such place as the synod shall appoint The other changes to be made in the organization of the church have already
 been very freely discussed, and by this
 time arc familiar to the communicants.

COPYRIGHT, 1895.

Vergennes, Vt, is not place that great many people visit, though it is the oldest city in it's state, end one of the oldest in New England, with record of one hundred and seven years of corporate life; it is the small est city in the United States, the younger towns make long noses at it, and summer people pass it by for high CT hills or for the lake shore.
 This is probably the reason why the only woman captain of a passenger steamer in the United States has little more than a local fame, and is quite as likely to be seen by accident in Vest port, way across the lake, by the sum mer people passing through, as sought by design in her own home here.
 And at Westport, which is on the New York side of Lake Champlain, and is one of the gateways to the Adiron- dacks, the lseenest interest of the dSs is felt, though there are the hill and the lake and the big steamers to look at when puff of white smoke is seen across the blue waters, and then . shrill whistle is heard, and then the Little Nelly or the Water Lily, as it may happen, comes putting into view, with Capt. Philemona Daniels in the pilot house, and floats along side the wharf without chafing an atom of paint from her side.
 The wharf is gay with summer peo- ple-girls in mountain dress, and young men in golflng stockings and little boys in sailor suits and possessed of an in- satiate desire to take header; the stages are loading for their long climb to Elizabethtown, but even the anxiety of the mammas of the small boys afere- said, and the rivalry of the young women for the box-seat, is forgotten as the woman captain quietly lands her passengers and backs her boat round to the side of the wharf, out of the way of other steamers and ready for the return trip in the afternoon.
 Capt. Philemona's boat connects with the morning train that runs south to

house of the Little Nellie, which Capt. Philemona has bought and paid for with her own money.
 Thirty-fve years Mrs. Daniels has navigateds the lake with but one brief interegnun. That was about fifteen years ago, when congress passed aal act forbidding any but licensed pilots to set foot in wheelhouse. Previous to that Mrs. Daniels had acted as as- sistant to her husband, Capt George Daniels. She had done this because the family was then poor and it was the most natural way for her to help along. For awhile Mrs. Daniels chafed in inactivity. Her children were growing up, skilled help on the boat cost money, she felt more than ever the impulse to return to her old occupation.
 Finally she said: I'm going to get a license for myself, if I can't get into that wheelhouse any other way. E You should hear the masculine Capt. Daniels tell that story. He's A fine,

submit to be mulcted of the sum of twelve thousand dollars yearly, which sum is to come out of the annual in come of one hundred and seventy-iive thousand dollars which she enjoys through the liberality of her step father, John W. Maclzay. MT. MaclSay himself insisted that the boys must be brought up as Americans if they were to live on his money. This determina- iton was well known to the prince, who made very adroituse of it in effecting the marital settlement. He is now a very laclSadaisical youth, is this prince. He has shaved off his mustache and affects the effeminate decadent costume now so much in vogue among Italian swells. On this account he has recently won the soubriquet of the "Sunfower Colonna." He has threatened to come to this country every year to see his sons. He would undoubtedly make a sensation in New York with his Italian airs.

LIKE A REVOLUTION.
Protestant Episcopalian Commun-
 ion Near Q Vast Change.
Talk of Creating Primus4To Rule the church and Be Given an Archiepiscopal See by the Next General
 Convention.

Once in three years the Protestant Episcopal church in this country holds a triennial conclave. It's a momentous gathering at all times. The one next to meet opens in Minneapolis on Oc- tober 2. It may be the very last, for this mighty ecclesiastical body, with it's hundreds of thousands of communi- cants and it's millions in wealth. is on the verge of dissolution.
 The general convention, as this body is termed, appointed at it's last meeting, three years ago, a joint commission to revise the constution and canons of the church. The commission is now put ting the finishing touches to it's report, which will be made to the coming gathering.
 Williams, bishop of Connecticut and presiding bishop; Right Rev. Arthur Cleveland Goxe, bishop of western New York: Right Rev. William Croswell Doane. bishop of Albany; Right Rev Thomas U. Dudley, bishop of Ken lucky; Right Rev. Henry c. Potter. bishop of New York; Right Rev Will- fam Paret, bishop of Maryland; Right Rev. Alexander Burgess. bishop of Quincy; Very Rev. E. A. Hoffman, D. D.. IL. D.
 There are laymon on the commis- mission, too. They are " H. Light ner. Edward c. Bradford, F. B. Swayne, Charles c. Saunders, John A. .Beall, Frank H. Miller and w. s. Laidley. Rev. Hall Harrison, D. D. is secretary.

One thing, however, which is beyond discussion, is that upon questions of doctrine final appeal may, in all cases, be takon to the house of bishops
 The title of the primus is to be that of archbishop. So much is certain, be- forehand, but his see is likely to be a matter of warm discussion. An amend ment to the commissions report, decid- ing upon Washington as the see for the primus, has already been rejected An other reasonable probability is that seniority shall have nothing to do with the selection of the primus. At present, the bishop of Chicago is the only one in the country having authority over other bishops, he being at the head of the three ecclesiastical divisions of Illinois.
 It will be seen readily how vast is the change which the prelates, clericals and laymen will be called upon to con- sider. But the notifications are urgent and even the low churchmen have not made any great objection, except as to questions of detail.
 The men who have the settlement of these vast changes have long been pre- lates, and are quite capable of under taking even so serious task. The presiding bishop of the church and the senior In point of consideration is Right Rev. John Williamss He became bishop of Connecticut in 1865. He isa graduate ef Trinity college, Hartford, and was it's president in the ffties He founded, also, the far-famed Berkeley Divinity school In church politics he Is Thigh, ," but not an extremist, and is said to have brought more men into the ministry than any living clerical. His imposing presence and rare capacity as a priest make him easily the first on the list of men deemed available as the first arch bishop of the church in America. The fact of his seniority, however, has noth- ing to do with his availability.
 There are other names mentioned in connection with the primacy, however. The seventy nine members of the house of bishops will have many supporters of Arthur Cleveland Coxe in it. This remarkable prelate has been, since 1865, bishop of western New York, and he is now in his seventy-seventh year His ordination to priesthood took place in 1842 He is deemed the subtlest theo. l logian in America, and his works have been widely read His letters to Mgr. Satolli will be remembered. He is a high churehman.

 Cornelius Vanderbilt clique. This epi- sode has caused decided recasting of forces in the great impending social battle of the autumn. If the Cornelius Vanderbilts are not to have any of the dukes and earls whc come this way theirs will indeed be rather forlorn situation. The duke himself has been vevy adroit in his management of his visit. He is a remarkably diplomatic young fellow, and seems to have the most generous of dispositions. Noth- ing comes amiss to him and he is most democratic in his manners. His per sonal emblem has been very conspicu- ous at all the social affairs at Newport, and in New York he himself revealed it constantly. It shows brilliant winged steed being driven furiously across blazing sun, and is supposed to depict metaphoricaily the fortunes of the mighty house of Marlborough. The family tradition would make this duke the lineal successor of the great soldier Marlborough, who, according to pre- diction, should outshine the great founder of the duchy by having a ca reer far more brilliant than even that famed fighter. The young duke him. self looks every inch youth capable of demonstrating the verity of that fore cast. He is brilliant and energetic and yet he never loses his own head. It is known that he would not object ot gliding his domains with the dollars Of an American heiress. The rivalry for his favor has set metropolitan society agog.
