On Friday.Last.
The Rev. G. Mott Williams was conse.
Grated bishop of the new diocese az
Marquette, at Grace church, Detroit,
Friday, May !. Seven bishops. includ.
ing two Canadian prclates and nearly
fifty priests from Michigan and adjoining
dioceses, were present and dcontributed Ia
one ot the most imposing ecclesiastical
ceremonies ever seen in Michigan. The
professional hymn, Ancient Of DAYS"
was rendered by vested choir Of fifty
voices. and the music throughout was Of
the most inspiring nature. The prcacher
of the day was the Right Rev. William
+. McLarcn, Of Chicago. The conse.
orator was Right Rev. Daniel Tuttle. OF
Indiana, assisted by the Rev. c. II. Quin-
tard. OF Tennessee. and the Right Rev.
Francis X. Brooke, of Oklahoma. and
the bishop OF Michigan. The tosti,
moninls required by the ritual OF the
prayer book are said to take the place
of the usual question about any OBJ
iections that may be raised in the
cases OF ordination of priests, so that
there was no opportunity in the cere-
mony for expression Of the opposition
which has. accompanied nearly every
step of the march OF Bishop Williams to
the episcOpate.

The Republicans OF Michigan, AS
sembled in state convention at Detroit
on Thursday did not slight the upper
peninsula. as was ayerred would be done
IN many quarters in advance OF the con-
vention. On the contrary, John Dun
can, Of Calumet was elected az one OF
the delegates-nt-Iarge to the st. Louis
convention. The delegates elected fol-
low:
RUSSELL A. ALGER.
THOMAS j. O'BRIEN.
JoHs DUNCAN.
MARK J. BREWER.
The alternates are:
G. s. KELSEY.
HENRY A. HAIGHT.
GEO. III. KEafrF.
ISAAC G.. WASHINGTON
The presidential electors are;
j. G. GRAY.
CHARLES FLowERs.
The convention was marked by the
absence of any antagonism for Mr.. Me-
Kinley. That part oi the program
seemed To be taken as granted, although
the delegates were finally instructed "to
employ all honorable means to secure
the nomination OF VIM. Mckinley while
his name should be bcinre the ST. Louis
convention The settlement OF the
financial question WINS not 50 easily
arrived nc, however, aud some bitter
arguments pro and con, were INDUCED in
before compromise was reached. The
following financial plank was adopted,
being the majority report OF the resolu-
tions committee:
We are unyiedine and uncompromisine In our
demands for sound ana honest money. Va are
Ia favor OF the use OF gold and silver and paper
dollars IN our curency, all TO be maintained AZ
a parity as TO their purchasing and debt paying
power. We are opposed 10 any provision that
will invite depreciation OF any portion OF our
currency. and therefore we are opposed 10 the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver by this
country alone under present conditions, aud we
believe that such course would destroy the
parity Of and contract the currency.
The most marked feature OF the CON
veniion was the large-sized dish OF cold
water which the gubernatoriul aspira-
tions 81 Mayor Pingrcc received. His
supporters were ont numbered four TO
one and were utterly overthrow in the
fight over the state central chairman.
They had selected General Alger Tor the
place, not because they desired him
particularly or because hc was favorable
to the Pingree boom. but because they
desired a Detroit man to lead the CON
test against ID. NJ. Ferry, who was
known to be distinctly opposed TO the
Pingree boom. The convention did not
take kindly TO the effort to make Gem
cral Aleer chairman in the face OF his
positive declinntion, written while the
convention was in session, and sat on
the pingrec move so promptly and 80
completely that the mayors lieutenants
were forced TO ask that the election OF
Ferry be made unanimous.
Dexter NJ. Ferry, the new chairman, is
a millionaire see,l man, md has been
identified with Rennhlicnn interests for
thirty years, though he has never served
in an official capacity before. lie is a
liberal giver TO campaign funds, n busi-
man of remarkable ability. and popular
among the stalwalt element. He Is also
a close personal aud business friend Of
Senator Mcmillan, the retiring chairman,
and will undoubtedly have the advice of
the latter's seasoned political judgment
and experience.

Beside preventing direct damage from

The Oldest Rosebush.

Hildesheim, small city of Hanover.
where it energies from the subsoil of the
church Of the cemetery. Its roots are
found in the subsoil, and the primitive
stem has been dead for long time, but
the new stems have made a passage
through crevice in the wall, and cover
almost the entire church with their
branches for width and height of 40
feet. The age of this tree is interesting
both to botanists and gardeners, Ac-
cording to tradition, the Hildesheim
rosebush was planted by Charlemagne
in S33, and the church having been
burned down in the 18th century, the
root continued to grow in the subsoil.
Mr.. Reaner has recently published a
book upon this venerable plant, in which
he proves that it is at least three CEN

poem written in 1890, and also in the

HORSEBACK RIDES THE BEST
MEDICINE.

Riding on the back of horse or mule
is an excellent remedy for many of the
painful ailments to which many dyspep
tics are liable, and which they endeavor
to cure by poisonous drugs. When a
person mounts horse that trots, rocks,
PAGES, gallops, canters, or runs like a
racer, almost every nerve, muscle and
faculty of the rider will be enlivened
and aroused to activity. Muscles and
energies that have been practically in
active for long time, will be reused up.
When a dyspeptic mounts horse he
is obliged to forget all about his ills,
pain, and aches. The mental faculties
will be reused up, and the rider, as he
goes shaking and bouncing along, will
think of nothing but keeping balance
and maintaining the attitude of grace
full equestrian. The lungs, the sluggish
liver, and the whole bronchial system
of delicate organs, that have all settled
down on each other, will be shaken up
and aeratei and made to perform their
accustomed duties. Then over and above
all of the foregoing benefits of riding on
horse back. will appear the browning
concomitant incident of summoning the
blood and thus quickening the pulse and
and more thoroughly and effectually
oxydizing the vital fluid.
Ga the back of horse the rider will
not fail to secure more healthful bene
fits to both body and mind than could
be derived from a Turkish or Russian
bath accompanied by vigorous mas
sage. Saving wood and spading in the
garden or swinging the woodman's axe,
are all healthful exercise. But they are
not to be compared with horseback rid
ing, for ths reason that such exercises
absorb all the energy they produce,
whereas horseback riding enables the
rider to accumulate energy, as the horse
does the running and the rider mean
time breathes the pure air and sticks to
his seat on the saddle and does little
more. Instead of expanding five dollars
for drugs to cure dyspepsia and consti-
patton, one had better pay fifty cents or
dollar for ride on a good horses E.
