Early American Bishops.

Before the war for American indie
pendence the American Episcopalians,
who were connected with the English
church, were never suffered to have a
bishop among them, but remained I'M

London. The rite of confirmation was
unknown, and every candidate for or
dination was obliged to travel to Eng

the United States had been declared in
dependent, DR., Seabury was ordained
bishop of Connecticut by the primus

the English church having refused to
consecrate him.-London News.

Mira. Lincoln's Grave,

Near the little town of Lincoln City,
Spencer county, Ind, is the grave of
Lincolns mother, says the Boston Trav-
eler. The Lincolns went to Spencer
county few years before Indiana be-
came state. They had not been long
in Spencer county before Mrs. Lincoln
died, leaving husband and several
small children. In 1879 Mr.. Studebaker
of South Bend, Ind, caused a mon
ument to be erected over the grave OF
Mrs Lincoln. On the monument is this
inscription: Nancy Hanks Lincoln,
Mother of President Lincoln Died Oct.
8, A. D. 1918"
The tract of land on which the grave
of Mrs. Lincoln is situaed has since been
purchased and the land plotted into

LOVES LABOR LOST.

Young Roland loved sweet Geraldine.
He loved her for herself,
Although her crusty father had
All kinds of filthy pelf.
But other eager suitors came
In crowds to win her hand.
Then Roland played a little game
They did not understand.
For, while the rest did court the maid
He sought her mother out
And won her favor ere she knew
Just what he was about.
He filed her ears with flattery,
He called her young and fair,
He said that with her daughter she
Did very well compare.
ENVOY.
Now wit We well, while Roland played
His game upon her mother
That fair, that winsome little maid
Was clipping with another.

FREDERICK BELL ROASTED. Attorney Fisher Ames Discusses Some of the Young Mans Fail
 ings in Judge Coffey's Court.

Whether or not Theresa Bell will be re- moved as guardian of her children will be determined next Monday, when Attorney Schooler finishes his argument in behalf of young Fred Bell, who instigated the action against his mother. Yesterday Fisher Ames, representing Mrs. Ames, ar gued the case, and when he had finished Frederick was the picture of despair. Ames grilled the young man from the opening to the close of his argument He referred to him as a 'leech,' a mouse hog" and repeated anew the story of how Frederick some time ago induged in a hilarious escapade with a company of young people in which several ladies of color participated. Ames was merciless in his roast, but between his words of vituperation he worked in the legal end of his case, contending that under the law in event Mrs. Bell was removed as guard ian the court could not demand an ac- counting He contended that she might do as she pleased with the monthly fam fly allowance He averred that she had always conducted the duties involved in the matter of the guardianship of her children in a satisfactory manner and should not be interfered with. Schooler will make his argument, and then the fate of the children of the House of Mys- tery" will be known to the world.

WILLIAM AUSTIN GETS LIFE. Sentence Passed on James lannon's
 Murderer by Judge Wallace.

William Austin, recently convicted Of the murder of James Fannon, the jury fixing his punishment at Imprisonment for life, was sentenced to Folsom Prison by Judge Wallace yesterday morning. The convict's counsel made no motion for new trial, probably at Austin's sugges- tion as he considers himself lucky that he escaped the moose, and is not anxious to again run the risk, but asked that his client be sent to Folsom. The court followed the application, and the murder CT will spend the remainder of his days within the walls of that penitentiary Austin is cold-blooded criminal, and laughed when the court pronounced sen tence upon him. He was pleased that he was not sent to San Quentin, as he had heard that brother of the man he mur- dered is incarcerated in that prison, and he had no desire of making a companion of him.
 A. Arlington, said to be natural born swindler who suffered a conviction on a charge of uttering a forged order for a small amount of money, was sentenced to ten years at Folsom. Arlington had two prior convictions against his name, and the only thing that saved him from the jury recommended mercy on the part of the court when it came to pass sen- tence.

She Locked Herself in Her Room to Accomplish Her
 Purpose.
It Was Her Second Attempt a, Destruction in Three
 Weeks.

Mrs. Annette Schwob, an old French woman living at 2971 Twenty-flrst street, was painfully burned about her body yesterday afternoon, and Ter death is momentarily expected.

 Mrs. Schwob lives with her grand daughter, Mrs. A. Karl, who takes care of her. She has rear room on the first floor. in which there is false fire place. and only a short time ago she attempted to build a fire in it, but was detected by some of the family before she could accomplish her purpose.
 Yesterday afternoon she wentinto her room and locked the door. This was about o'clock, and shortly afterward one of Mrs. Karl's children discovered smoke in the front hall, and called to her mother. who was upstairs. Mrs. Karl came down and tried to get into the room but could not. She then ran across the street to where some carpen- ters were at work and called for help. The men came and broke In the door.
 Mrs. Schwob was found lying upon the floor and the wrapper that she wore was afire, as we'll as the frame woodwork of the door. When the flames were extinguished it was found that the old woman was horribly burned on her left side, and her left arm was re- duced almost to a crisp.
 Dr. Charles F. Griffin was summoned and did all in his power to relieve Mrs. Schwob's sufferings. She was given in- jections of morphine to quiet her. The family wanted to have her removed to the French Hospital, but this was deemed inadvisable by Dr. Griffin, who thought his patients condition too se- rious to stand it. A trained nurse was secured to attend her. There is little hope entertained for her recovery on account of her extreme age and the very serious nature Of her injuries.
