TWO NEW BISHOPS.
The Methodist General Conference Honors
DIR. Cranston and Chaplain Mc0abe-


DIR. Cranston and Chaplain Mc0abe-
CLEVELAND. o., May 2O.-The dead
lock in the NJ E. general conference
over the election of two bishops was
broken yesterday by the selection of
DIR. Charles C. McCabe, of New York,
and DIR. Earl Cranston, of Cincinnati.
1t was apparent when the delegates
assembled in the morning that they
were tired of the balloting, and were
determined to bring matters to an
issue. The ball was set rolling by Rev.
G L. Stafford, of Iowa, who moved
that the election of bishops be indefi-
nitely postponed. This precipitated a
lively discussion, and the motion
was defeated. Then DIR. A. b.
Leonard, of Cincinnati, moved that
in future ballots the name of no
candidate be announced who received
less than ten votes That motion car
ried, and it smashed the deadlock On
the 14th ballot DR. McCabe's vote
jumped to 25S from 100, and DR.. Grams
toms from ai5 to 261. That indicated
clearly who the leaders were, and on
the 18th ballot DR. McCabe's vote rose
to 344, or more than were needed to
elect, while DR.. Cranston polled S2S. or
eight less than were needed The
next ballot gave the victory to DIR.
Cranston, and the west and east had
both elected their delegates.
Bishop Walden, speaking of the re-
suit, said it was an Ohio day. Both of
the bishops elected are natives of the
Buckeye state, and six of the 10 bish-
ops now on the board were born in
Ohio. They are Stephen NJ Merritt,
John NJ. Walden, Isaac W. Joyce,
Charles c. McCabe, Earl Cranston and
James NJ. Thoburn. Bishop Foster, who
was retired, is also an Ohio man.

This means a saving of 335b

A wrinkle, new to Homo
lulu, is old blue china. It has
been the rage in the United
States for six months past,
and in Europe for as many
months before. It's the sort
your great grandmothers and
their children used; except
that modern methods of manu-
facture and decorating enable
the potters to make the pieces
thinner and the decorations
finer.
Those people who want
something finer than may be
had in Delft, can be accom-
modated with Belleek. "
This is q much better quality
and is decorated in a more
artistic manner.
For plain every day use,
the Delft is the best, because
it is made to wear and to use.
We have full sets and single
pieces of it, which will soon
find their way into the homes
Of Honolulu. Delft is not q
fad; it was used many years
ago and was fashionable for
a full century before we came
on this mundane sphere. Its
place was taken by other and
Frenchier patterns; now we
are back to the old German
windmill pictures. Come and
see them.
