He related the story about a man who

Coming to a certain grave he paused.
On the tombstone were engraved these
words: "A ALawyer and an Honest Man. -
Well said the graveyard visitor. Il
wonder how they came to bury two
men in the same grave?" The bishop
said he one day visited a public school
in the city and asked the scholars what
was the greatest occurrence during the
year of 1896. A little girl held up her
hand, and answered us" 1t was a
grand answer, and one that will apply
to the men here tonight. Let our homes

TO APPLY FOR AN INJUNCTION
LOCAL MANUFAC-
TURERs FROM USING THE TAM
MAGE PATENT COMPANY'S
CHROME TANNING PROCESS.
Special Despatch Evening Journal.


PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 27-What
will likely prove one Of the most inn
portant suits recently tried in Whining
ton viii be one that the Tannage Pat
ent Company. Of this city, proposes 10
bring against a number Of morocco
manufacturers of that city
The suit will be brought in q few
days in the United States District
Court, of Wilmington. before Judge
Leonard E. Wales Application for an
injunction against the alleged Offend
ing manufacturers would have been
made to-day had not Judge Wales been
in this city.
The ground for. the proposed appliCa-
tion is the charge made by the Tannage
Patent Company that some of the
manufacturers are infringing on the
companys patent chrome process for
tanning glazed kid, while others are
making unauthorized use Of the pat
ent
Il is said that the injunction will be
applied for against every manufactures
OF glazed kid in the city with the ex-
oeption of +. Blumenthal & Co.
This last firm was the first owner of
the patent, having purchased It from
Ah1 AhN'hARAf a. AiltnN'AHhAH 'AfAMAnAf
named Schultz. Il sold the patent to
the Tannage Patent Company, of
Philadelphia which is composed of
several of the leading glazed kid manu-
facturers OF that city, reserving for it,
SELF however, the right to use the pat
ent.
The Tannage Patent Company sells
the right to the use the patent for
royalty said to be $500 year and
121s cents on each dozen skins turned
out.
It is alleged that the manufacturers
here have been using the patent with
out payment of these royalties, and
that had one firm alone paid the
amount OF royalties that it should, it
would have cost It $4,000.
The threats of suit are of interest to
every manufacturer of glazed kid in
the country. as the patent chrome pro-
cess tannage has driven out every other
method of tanning kid skins.

FRICTION IN A CHURCH.
SAID TO BE OPPOSED TO
METHODIST METHODS IN A RE-
FORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

There is some friction among the
members of the Reformed Episcopal
Church Of the Covenant relative TO the
revival meetings being conducted at
the church by Dr. Walker, the Indiana
evangelist Dr. Walkers method OF
conducting a revival service is In old
time Methodist fashion.
This. while very successful, does not
accord with the Episcopal Church
views Of many of the members of the
church. They are opposed TO the per-
sonal intercession of the preacher with
the attendants of the church and sew
eral other features of his work.
Though no public opposition has yet
been made II has been hinted that his
employment as an evangelist at tho
church may be made a subject of inves-
tigation at the coming meeting of the
