The Living Church" says that the death OF the
Bishop of Winchester has drawn attention TO the
case Of Farnham Castle. The cost OF keeping up
such an estate is great that the revenues OF the
see are largely swallowed up and II becomes necee-
sary that the bishop should be chosen with refer
to his private income rather than his speciai MT

An announcement of great interest not only 10
the Gloucester fishermen themselves. but TO those
who love halibut steaks was made few days ago.
It is that a new halibut bank has been discovered
northeast of Newfoundland. said TO be teeming with
fish vessels having no trouble in loading to the gun
wales in two days fishing. This industry was nearly
ruined last winter and the new find Is source OF
great encouragement to the men who have been
fighting against hard luck for long time. the
bank Is apparently extensive, and far there have
been no choice spots developed. one part being as
good as another It costs about 3ls cents a pound
to ship Pacific halibu East and 7l2 cents is as low
as can probably sold for The Atlantic halibut
readily brings two cents pound more on account
of its superior quality. and Gloucester people are
looking forward TO a harvest from the new bank
