BISHOP JOHN M. WALDEN of Cincinnati
has been designated by his. associate bishops
of the Methodist Episcopal church to pre-
side over the numerous conferences to be
held in Europe next year This is one of
the most desirable and pleasurable assign
ments within the gift of the Episcopal
board.
THE million dollar policy written by the
Mutual Life Insurance Company of New
York on the Life of George W. Vanderbilt
was issued directly from the head Office OF
the company. No agent was interested in
it and no commissioners have been paid or
will be paid on it. A large proportion of the
risk has been reinsured in smaller compa-
MES.
The will of William f. Burden. the mill
lionare, iron manufacturer of Troy, N. Y,
who died of heart disease at Hotel Waldorf,
New York, early in November left no public
requests The will was probated here to-
day. Substantially the entire estate is left
to his widow and it makes her one Of the
richest women in America. The estate is
believed to be worth $50 100000.
THE jury in the case of Rev. Daniel 7.
Howell, an Episcopal rector of Monticello,
N. Y, who was tried for assaulting his wife
because she tried to drive his pet cat out of
doors, rendered verdict of guilty last
Wednesday after celebrating several hours.
The court sentenced the rector to five days
imprisonment or SIS fine. The rector re-
fused to accept the offer of friends to pay
the fine and was taken to Jail.
IT is understood to be the present inten-
ton of President NJ ,Kinley to omit all So
cial and official functions at the White
House for period OF thirty days from the
date of the death of his mother. Most of
the official receptions are usually set down
for dates after the first of January, so that
the principal omission, if the present order
is carried out, will be the New Years Day
reception, which will be less felt than any
other.
THE annual reunion of the Twenty-Sec-
ond Regiment, Massachusetts infantry, the
second company Of sharpshooters and the
third battery, at Boston last Thursday was
made noteworthy by the adoption of a
lengthy preamble condemning the utter
ances Of President Andrews Of Brown uni
versity Mandatory of the military genius of
certain confederate generals, and of Presi-
dent Eliot OF Harvard college to the effect
that SIT would be better to pitch $3.50 000,-
600 into the sea than pay it to Union veter-
ans"
THE police and people Of Emanuel Bap-
fist church, San Francisco, believe the life
OF Rev. Mr.. Gibson, Durrant's former pas
tor, in danger. The police have warned
him to protect himself against the POSSIBLE
ity of harm and the pastor has body guard
night and day. A special officer is detailed
to attend every public service at the church.
Since the murder in the church many at
tempts have been made to cast suspicion on
the pastor and his refusal to be drawn into
the case even as Durrant's spiritual adviser
has caused much talk and ill-feeling.

Scrofu|a Eruptions
Blood Suffered Intensely Until
Hoods SarsaparilIa Cured.

"When three months old, my little
daughter had eruptions on her face. l
was obliged to keep her hands tied at
night and it was necessary to watch her
during the day. She would scratch her
self whenever she had the chance, until
her clothes would be covered with blood.
We concluded to try Hoods Sarsaparilla,
because 1 had great faith in it, and after
awhile, we could see that she was getting
better. People often asked How did
that child burn her face?' and they said
she would certainly be left with scars, but
she was not. 1t is now year since she
was cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla and her
face Is as smooth and white and soft
as that OF any child" MRS. WILBUR

STRIKE NOT YET OYER.
TWENTY RIVETERs FROM BOSTON
WILL NOT GO TO WORK IN
STRIKERS PLACES.

STRIKERS PLACES.
The strike Of the riveters at the ship
yard of the Harlan and Hollingsworth
Company, despite the reports of the
company, is not settled yet by any
means. This morning an agent of the
company brought to the city twenty
men from Boston, who were expected
to go on in the place of the strikers.
When they reached this city and ascer-
tained that there was a strike on, all of
the men, except two, refused to go to
work.
The Boston men, only ten of whom
are riveters, the balance being holders
on and heaters, claim that they were
induced to come here on the promise
that there was no strike on. and had
been none, and they were to be paid
$3.50 a day. When the men reached
here they were met by a delegation of
the strikers, who explained the situa-
tion to them. The men, therefore. re-
fused to go to work, and demanded
that they be sent back to Boston. One
of them will have a summons issued to
recover passage back, claiming that he
and his companions were brought here
under false pretenses.
At the company's Office a statement
was given out to-day that two more
gangs of riveters had been put to work
on the Tallahassee, and that a number
of men from Boston were expected to
go to work tomorrow.
The strikers claim that the company
has been able to secure very few rivet-
ers, and these are being paid $3.50 a
day besides the expense of bringing
them here. The strikers, who are all
Wilmington men, only asked for $3.50
a day. but this was refused.
