M'KINLEY'S NEW PASTOR.
He Will Be Rev. Frank N. Bristol, of
Evanston.


Chicago. Aug. Frank N Bristol,
d. D., pastor of the First NJ. E. church
of Evanston, Ills, has acceoted a call
from President McKinley's church, the
Metropolitan NJ. L. at Washington, D.
c. DR.. Bristol will probably AXE charge
of the Metropolitan church early next
sumner.
The Metropolitan is known as the
church attended by General Grant
wehn he was president. and it was
there that John Newman. now one of
the bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
church, won fame. The Rock River
conference has sent DR.. Bristol as a
delegate to the last three general con-
ferences Of the church. He has been
prominently mentioned for a bishop.
At Evanston he has received one of the
largest salaries paid in the Methodist
church The present pastor of the
Metropolitan is Rev. Hugh Johnston,
who has filed term of five years.
DR.. Bristol was born in Orleans coun-
ty, New York, in 1851. His parents
came TO Illinois when he was quite
young. Fifteen years ago he was grad
uated from Northwestern university,
after a hard struggle, owing to his
scant funds. 1t is told of him that dur
ing his efforts for education. he sawed
wood behind the church over which he
now Dresides.
DR.. Bristol entered the ministry in
1879. Since then he has filed the most
prominent Methodist ch<rges in the
Rock River conference, including Grace
and Trinity churches in Chicago. Many
of the nations best known citizens are
numbered among his friends. He was
d close comrade of the late Eugene
Field, particularly in the latter's devo-
ton to art and photography.
DR.. Bristols fourth year at Evanston
will not expire until the Rock River
conference meets next October. and it
is unlikely that he will take charge of
the Metropolitan until that time.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat says:
''The duty on diamonds is much lower
than il was under the Wilson law,
which taxed cut diamonds IS per cent
and rough diamonds 10 per cent. In
the new law cut diamonds are 10 per
cent ard rough diamonds are free. IN
der the Wilson law diamond smuggling
was carried on to such an extent that
nine-tenths of the diamonds brought
10 this country escaped the duty. It
will not pay the smuggler now to take
risks to save 10 per cent, and the ad-
lnittance of rough diamonds free will
build up the business of cutting and
polishing. The government will lose
no revenue, a business interest Will be
protected and developed and diamonds
will be cheaper
What consolation can the laboring
man, who is working for $1.5O per day,
draw from the above. Diamonds may
be cheaper, but how about clothing,
boots and SHOES and most all Of the
common necessaries of life? What
profit is it to a hungry man to read a
placard in a jewelry store window:
Great reduction in the price of dia-
rnonds on account Of the Dingley BILL"
when he has not the price of a lucent
meal in his pocket. and no opportunity
is afforded him to earn a cent?

London Market Hardens on Fall of
New York Exchange.


New York, Aug. The Evening
Posts London financial cablegram
says:
The London money market hardened
today nearly 1 per cent on the fall of
New York exchange. There was very
large forward business in American
bills.
With reference to the e4,300.000
Japanese loan recently raised. this sum
will be transferred to the Japanese gov
eminent in three nearly equal INSTALL
ments, the first on Aug. %, the second
month later, and the third in the last
week in September.
This is not yet known here. and 1t
will help make discount rise, especially
if it means that any gold will go to
Japan, but as to that nothing is known
as yet.
Americans were very strong here to-
day, but still mainly on continued con-
tinental and New York buying. Pro-
fessional operators here are getting
short turns out of the market. but the
public realizations far exceed the pur-
chases. The settlement will begin on
Tuesday, and then some persons ex-
pect the public to come in.

San Francisco Examiner: The entente
cordiale between Senator Cullom ,and
President Mckinley has escaped a violent
wrench by the fact of being nonresident.
Cullom's statement that Mckinley seems
TO take delight in appointing scalawages
to office in illinois is not calculated either
to soothe the savage executive breast.
Perhaps Mckinley is embarrassed by
paucity of material-at least, when we
reflect on the character of Illinois legis-
lators, Chicago aldermen and the Missed
and hooted Governor Tanner, we must
conclude that even if Mckinley has made
some mistakes he has not been alone the
one to err.
