CITIZENS AFTER HIM.
Resignation of a Detroit Police
Commissioner Demanded.

DETROIT, Dec 11.-The resignation
of Police Commissioner Ralph Phelps,
Jr.. was demanded to-day at a mass
meeting of representative citizens, held
in one of the leading churches. This
action is the direct result of recent agi-
tation toward the enforcement Of law
and abolishing of vice by the Good Gov
ernment League of Detroit and others.
Mr. Phelps is charged among other
things. with being on fifteen liquor
bonds prior to his appointment as Com
missioner, when the law expressly pro-
vides that no one shall sign more than
two, and not being released from the
bonds after his appointment, with alb
senting himself from this city for al
most a year while Police Commission
er, after having accepted the response
bilities of office and with not being in
full sympathy with the enforcement
of the laws The speaker, Rev. Walter
Hughson then continued:
1--WE impeach Mr.. Phelps before the
tribunal of the city of Detroit for his
incapacity, and demand that Mayor
Maybury shall, on our behalf, demand
his resignation. The honor of the city
demands his retirement and it can best
come about through his resignation. A
large number of people have lost con-
fidence in him. We want no man in
office who fails to appreciate trust and
responsibility and We charge this man
with incompetency. I'VE can have lit
tie hope for the sincere enforcement
of law until there issa change"
The Good Government League spranG
into existence at the last election and
took a prominent part in it. A few
weeks ago several local divines COM
menced crusade against so-called
''stall saloons" and have been since
waging relentless war upon them and
other forms Of vice as well. This mass
meeting of to-day, which embraced in
the audience a number of the city's
prominent business men and politicians,
partook of the nature of a combining
Of the forces of the Good Government
League and all the Others who are ac-
tive in the presert movement for The
enforcement of laws and prevention Of
vice. The members of the league say
that to-day's action is merely a start
er, and that unless change is made in
the policy of other city officers, more
charges and demands of resignation
will follow.

1 USE P0a EVERYTHING.
Nothing Yet Ever Created
Without a Purpose.
A Theory Difficult to be Believed in
Some Instances.
Many Think Nature Might Have Been Improy.
ed Upon in Many Ways.

We all wonder why certain things
were ever made, why certain animals
or insects We're allowed to live. And
yet there is no doubt but that every
thing was intended for some purpose.
and as civilization advances, such pur-
poses are discovered.
Cod liver oil is something that every
body knows to have been wise provi-
sion of Providence, to be used as a
medicine. in all wasting diseases. Why
Nature should have appended to this
valuable remedy its horrible odor and
most terrible taste is also something
that many have wondered at But
that was Natures way. She gave to
man the crude material, and has left
1t to his intelligence to overcome many
of it's Objectionable features.
This is exactly what has happened
in regard to cod liver oil. Everybody
knows its value, Everybody knows
how necessary it is for physicians to
prescribe 1t in many instances. Every
body also knows that it is one of the
most terrible medicines to take that
can be imagined. There is no longer
need of taking it; that is, in the form
in which we have been accustomed 10
know it.
Mr.. o. c. Webster of the well known
firm of Rowditch, Webster & Co, OF
this city, has associated himself with Il
New York house which is producing 1
preparation known as Vinol-Wine of
Cod Liver Oil. This is not a patent
medicine. Anyone may see, on the
label of each bottle, or Mr.. Webster
will tell anyone who calls ON him,
exactly what Vinol contains. AS ne
explained yesterday: I'VE have simply
found out how to extract the active
medicinal principles from the cod 5
liver that has made cod liver OIL valu-
able. This we now obtain in the form
of a concentrated extract. The grease,
with all its vile odor. is left behind
That too, has it's purposes. 1t is valu-
able for dressing leather, but as for its
being in any way good for man as
medicine it is absolutely worthless.
Now we take the medicine that We
have obtained. or the concentrated
medicinal properties of the Gods liver.
and place just the right quantity of
this extract in a delicious, mild table
wine, and there you have the whole
story. Anybody can learn in a minute
THAT Vinol is tasteless. Anyone who is
compelled to take cod liver Oil can
find out in a few days how much more
benefit can be derived from Vinol than
could ever have been obtained from
cod liver Oil in it's crude form.
Mr.. Webster's enthusiasm in regard
to Vinol is indeed we'll founded The
preparation which he is handling will
be in q short time one of the best
known in the world.

Penobscot River Ice Notes.

A large proportion of the ice now go
ing forward from the Penobscot river
is being shipped directly upon the
market in New York. The dealers
have temporarily united and have
agreed not to sell firstclass ice under a
certain price.
Freights to New York are now at SIS
cents a ton, to Philadelphia As cents,
the New York rate being the higher
because of the difficulty of getting re-
turn freights at that port for large
vessels coming to the eastward.
While most Of the Bangor ice has
been carried, as usual, in three and
four masted schooners this year, there
has been noticeable increase in the
number of barges employed in the
trade. Five of the B Line barges that
lately loaded here carried out about
1000 tons. The largest cargo of ice
shipped from this port this year was
that of the barge Lone Star formerly
the steamship Brashear, which carried
over $500 tons.-Bangor Wing.

THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
Proposed Amendments TO the Constitution
Subject Of Tuesdays Deliberations.

Washington, Oct. 18-At the bust
ness session of the Episcopal deputies
today. the standard Bible came up for
discussion and steps were taken to
guard this standard by constitutional
provision. A resolution was adopted
directing the preparation of suitable
constitutional provision establishing
the standard Bible and fixing the man
ner of its alteration.
Consideration of the amended con-
stitution was then resumed article !,
which had been passed over, being
taken up. Among the changes pro-
posed was that of Rev. DR.. Mallory of
Milwaukee, to make the presiding
bishop of the church an archbishop.
The proposition was tabled.
Article was amended by provision
that diocese shall not be divided while
there is a vanancy in the bishopric. A
new section was added providing that
no new diocese shall be created by less
than six self supporting parishes and
six presbyters.
At the afternoon session, the House
of Deputies adopted article of the
proposed revision of the constitution
with the changes already noted The
t.i INV ASioICs' W Tic LUZ
of new dioceses. Article 8 led to con-
siderable debate. 1t provides the
means Of trying bishops and presbyters
for various offenses. One of the new
provisions gave bishops the right to
have a case reviewed by a court COM
posed of bishops only. Objection was
made to this on the ground that it
gave the bishops privileged court and
invited conflict with the supreme ec-
clesiastical court which is likely to be
established. On the other hand, it was
argued that the bishops We're entitled
to be tried by their peers After
lengthy debate the provisions for try
ing bishops by bishops only was up
held, 1874 to 12S. Article 8 was finally
recommitted to the committee for re-
vision.
The House Of Bishops, at it's after
noon session, passed new canon pro-
viding that, when a new rector is to be
elected, the bishop shall be notified and
no election shall take place until 30
days thereafter. Most of the after
noon was given to the question Of con-
secrating a bishop for Brazil. The
question was finally referred to a COM
mittee consisting of the bishops of
Kentucky, Chicago, West Virginia,
Maryland and the coadjutator bishop
of Rhode Island.
