DIDN'T PRAY FOR THE QUEEN.
Episcopal CleIgymcn of Kansas city
Resent n Slight.


Kansas City, Mo, June 20.-Because a
deputation from the local Queen Victoria
Diamond Jubilee Association called upon
Bishops Glennon and Hogan recently and
asked them to order prayers in their
churches for Queen Victoria and did not
wait upon the dignitaries of the Episco-
pal church with a similar request, Rev
p. F. Duffy of the Episcopal church of
Kansas City, Kan, deeply incensed, re-
signed from the association.
In his letter of resignation addressed
to British Vice Consul Philip e. Bettrough
of this city, he says a fragrant insult has
been offered the Protestant Episcopal
church, which in England IS the Church
of England, and through that church the
affront has been transmitted to the queen
AS a result, the local Episcopal churches
to-day did not offer prayers for her ma
