A WALKING BISHOP.
Covers 235 Miles in Two Weeks on
Vacation Trip.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Bishop Leighton Coleman, of the Episcopal
diocese Of Delaware, returned last night
from his annual outing 1t has been the
custom CT the bishop for years to make an
annual tramp incognito, and he has had
many and amusing experiences.
On his present trip the bishop travelled on
foot 295 miles, in Maryland and Virginia and
through the mountains of West Virginia. He
left Washington two weeks ago, and went
by train to Martinsburg, w. Va, and from
that place his tramp began.
The bishop went in the direction of Graf
ton and up into the Blue Ridge mountains.

his steps to Cumberland, Md, and returned

that his best friends would scarcely have
recognized him.
The queerly clad stranger puzzled many
folks along the route he Travelled. Farmers
offered to give him a ride, and could not

was often an object of pity on the part of
the people, and many Ct them expressed SYM

Had the bishop desired he could have made
money during his trip. He knows thorough
ly the mechanism of clocks and is skilled in
repairing them. At several farmhouses where
the bishop stopped to get something to eat
he noticed that the clocks were out of re-
pair and he volunteered to fix them Soon
the clock would be going all right and the
bishop would be offered money by the farm
er, but he always declined.
One night darkness overlook the bishop
on walk and he applied to q farmhouse
for lodging, but the place was full ard he
could not be accommodated. He was not all
lowed to sleep even on the floor. Taking I'D
his staff the bishop continued his tourney
In the darkness until he came to dilapi-
dated looking barn. He CROPPED his way into
the building, and, picking out some new
hay, made a bed and the crickets sang him
to sleep. Most of his nights. however. he
spent In farmhouses. and he found the p2o-
pie hospitable.
On another dark night he was again
caught with no place to sleep. Finally he
reached old schoolhouse in a lonely road.
The teacher had left one Of the windows
open. Climbing in through the window the
bishop passed the night on the hard floor.
In speaking of the trip Bishop Coleman
says that once he met family, consisting
of father, mother and six large children,
none of whom could read or write. The par
ents had not permitted the children to at
tend school because they could not afford
to buy them clothes
At Tunnelsville. W. Va, the bishop at

Prince Albert of Lippe-Detmold, En-
perOr Williams brother-in-law, applied
to the bundesrath some time ago to
forbid the diet of Lippe-Detmold to
regulate the election of q successor to
the throne Of that principality, he him
self being candidate. Reliable infor-
nation now has it that Bavaria, Sax
ony, Wurtemberg, the Thurgenian
states, Hesse, Mecklenberg and the
Hanse towns in the bundesrath, have
decided against the appeal. Three i'm

the bills favoring them are ready for
presentation to the reichstag as soon
as that body cOnvenes. The army bill
not only provides for a Slight increase
in the peace effective footing, but it
also provides for the Reorganization Of
the field artillery and the completion
Of telegraph and railroad equipment
Altogether the bill will involve an in
crease Of some 20,OOOOO0 marks yearly,
besides an immediate outlay of a larger
amount.
The first preliminary elections for
members of the diet have been fixed
for Oct. q, and the final elections will
take place a week later. The parties
are split in q manner which makes 1t
impossible to predict the result, except
that sweeping changes in the compost
ton of the house are improbable, and
the Conservatives having Agrarian
and anti-American leanings are very
likely to form an agreement.

Then the prescriptions are placed on

The excitement in medical circles is
tremendous. The chemist, Prof. Hof-

speech, during which he expressed the
hope that the doctors Of Vienna will
prove themselves equal to all emer-

is the opinion of medical men at the
Austrian capital that the plague is
likely to spread in that city.
Another significant indication of
this apprehension is found in the fact
that a temporary hospital, consisting

Mr.. Barry, in his Ivan at Home" gives

One day a drunken man walked into the
water and disappeared. A number OF spec

The fear of lightning is almost universal
but the number of deaths caused by it is
small. Dwellers in cities are even safer than
those in the country, since statistics have
shown that the average four-ffths of the
deaths from lightning occur in rural localities.
The innumerabe electric wires, the many
grounded water pipes and the metal roofs OF
cities are undoubtedly the chief element Of
their safety in this respect.

until December when Archbishop Ireland Of

The hurried departure, a prominent Catholic

the state OF feeling in America in regard to
the annexation Of the Philippines and the
attitude of the American people towards the
Catholic church in Cuba, Porto Rico and
other new American possessions.
