THE NEW EPISCOPAL DIOCESE.

The fact that the Catholic and Metho
dist churches have established headquarters
in Washington and erected educational in.
stitutions in or near the city has induced
the Maryland diocesan convention TO di.
vide itself and constitute the District OF
Columbia, with Charles, Montgomery, P Prince
George and st. Mary's counties as q new
diocese. Washington viii be the home
OF the Bishop, and in the near future a
great Episcopal Cathedral win be erected.
There are two reasons for this division;
one spiritual and the other denominationaI.
The Maryland diocese was too large for
effective work by cue bishop, aud it was
also urged that the spiritual growth Of
the church demanded n headquarters at
the seat OF national legislation The
marvellous progress aud Increase of popu-
lation within the last few years has brought
large additions to the church in this city,
aud the necessity for the division was
mauifestly apparent.
Ii Meantime Washington welcomes the
change, and gladly gives support to all
churches. Whoever is chosen to preside
over the new diocese Will find that his
lines have fallen in pleasant places

The latter, Commissioner Truesdeu SAYS,

Commissioners are heartily in sympathy

THE END Is NEAR.

The report OF the board OF trade COM
mittee that GOV. O'Ferrall viii cooperate
in suppressing lawlessness across the river,
gives the question an encouraging aspect.
II is said that the Governor is thoroughly
informed as 10 the lamentable condition
OF affairs. but that he demands that the
committee shall furnish the evidence be-
fore he viii tee that the offenders are
prosecuted. 1t is undoubtedly beneath the
dignity OF n Governor OF Virginia TO con-
stitute himself q smelling committee TO
look up offenders, but ne might use the
Information with which he seems familiar
and not depend upon Westinghouse to take the
initiative.
From any standpoint it is plain that the
end OF Alexandra county lawlessness is
near. The gamblers themselves are get
ting tired of the struggle, and n few weeks
more OF determined effort will close their
dens and stop the epidemic OF crime in
this city. AS was predicted by The Times,

bring the outlaws to terms.

Tale OF a Coat.


Here is the story of the travels OF
coat The garment is O macintosh of a
bright sand color. 1t was bought several
months ago, and at the time the money
paid for it was worth q considerable sum
to the young clerk who owned it. 1t wore
dirty, however, after a few months and
he had it cleaned, and the tailor added
to 1t cuffs and collar of bright blue
velvet. Soon afterward he sat down to
game of poker He lost his money and
sold the coat on credit to a fellow clerk
for S4. The latter grew hard up few
weeks later and sold the coat to the office
boy for 81 80 cash and an l. o. {. for
S4.20. He spent the 81 so and still
owed 81 for the coat. One night he
played poker with the original owner and
won S245. Then he owed 81 90 for the
macintosh. The office boy still owed
him 81 20. The latter did not appear for
work one bright morning, and a few days
later ii was rumored that he had gone to
Philadelphia with the coat. Now, the
clerk who owned il secondhand is trying.
TO figure up whether he is a gamer or
loser.-Syracuse Post.

A DINNER THAT FAILED.

TWO new methods of booming candidates
are playing important parts in the councils
OF certain politicians A few days ago
the Democratic editors of New York met in
solemn conclave, and after listening TO
harmony speeches from prominent pol
iticians, adjourned to go home and continue
the publication Of Democratic principles
from widely different standpoiuts, but
firmly impressed with the Importance of
standing by Senator Hill as Presidential
possibility.
Another recently alleged harmony event
was the peace dinner OF Chauncey Depew.
Possibly the success of that gentlemen
as an after-dinner talkcr prompted the idea
of charging the minds OF prominent Re-
publicans with the appropriateness Of a
Harrison Presidential boom while he filled
their stomachs with food At ali events,
he got up the dinner party and called the
distinguished ex-PresIdent away from
his task of sitting for portrait and posed
him Presidential candidate looking z for
a job.
This new way Of booming candidates may
prove quite popular. 1t is inexpensive COM
pared to tour throug b the country and does
not require as much oratoricaI work in rear
platform speeches. The principal object
is TO secure the corporation Of those who
mold party opinions, and of the two meth
Ods Senator Hin's press convention win
prove more Influential than Mr.. Harrison's
turkey-taIk dinners.
