BISHOP TALB0T's ACCEPTANCE,

The Rt. Rev. Ethelbert Talbot, d.
D., Missionary Bishop of Wyoming
and Idaho, who was elected at spec
ial convention Bishop of the diocese
of Central Pennsylvania, in succession
to Bishop Rulison, has accepted the
election in the following letter:
Ny dear brethren in Christ:
About three weeks have elapsed
since l received your official COM
munlcation notifying me of my cleo
ton as Bishop of Central Pennsyl-
vania. From the first l have been
disposed to consider favorably the
high honor you have been pleased to
confer upon me. The fact that your
diocese, with its vast population of
over two millions of souls, is in reality
a missionary field with much ground
as yet unoccupied by the Church, has
appealed strongly to me. But crisis
in ones life, of so grave nature as
this election brings, seemed to demand
deliberate and careful thought. MY
anxiety has been the greater, because
OF the many interests involved in
decision. But relying upon the di-
vine favor to guide me in the discharge
OF Its duties, l now accept the office to
which you have called me. If canoni-
cal consent to my translation is grant
ed by the bishops and dioceses, l
shall soon be ready to enter upon my
new charge as your chief pastor.
am profoundly impressed with the
conviction that your great diocese de-
mands tor its leadership grace and
wisdom far beyond what l may hope
TO possess. And did 1 not feel that
your recent action was inspired and
guided by the divine head of the
Church, l should not dare to assume
SO welghty a responsibility. But the
unanlmlty with which you have been
led to choose me; the singular har-
mony that prevails throughout your
diocese; the manifest loyalty and
esprit de eorps alike of clergy and
lalty, all lead me to believe that |
Shall lind that hearty cooperation and
sympathy which will make the heavi-
est work a joy and privilege. In re-
turn for your confidence, | can only
pledge you my complete conservation
to those sacred interests which will
henceforth be dear to us as bishop
and people, and ask your constant
prayers in my behalf.
With every assurance of profound

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat,
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhe althy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
festeG in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often. by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and ex.
traordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. If
you need medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may. have sample

THE PROF. HAD To WE'D AT ONCE.
Couldn't Become a Member of the vassa
Faculty Otherwise.

Couldn't Become q Member of the Vassar
Faculty Otherwise.
Curious verification is said to have
been given not long ago to the tradi-
tion that no man Is allowed to become
a member of the Vassar faculty unless
he is married. If an unmarried man
make application for membership, the
rule is to first inquire If he be mar
ried.
The proverbial exception to this rule
occurred in the case of young man
who sought to fill the Vassar chair of
history not long ago, and was so ac-
ceptable In every way that his examin-
ers forgot to inquire into the most i'm
portant thing of all-his state of dou-
Bile or single blessedness. Not until
the day for opening the college was at
hand did any one of them recall how
shockingly they had left undone those
things which they ought to have
done. The young man, by that time
arrived, had to confess that he was
bachelor. Well, there was nothing for
1t but the one thing, 80 the faculty
hemmed and hawed bit, and finally
got it out that the young man must
get married.
We'll give you Just two weeks"
they said, otherwise you'll have to re-
sign your place. Surely, you know of
some girl you can get to marry you
/ within two weeks"
It was now the turn of the young
man to hem and haw, but he saw that
there was no alternative, his whole
professional future depended upon it,
30 he permitted himself to be hustled
of the campus before any Of the sus-
ceptible students caught sight of him,
promising TO return within fortnight
married. He was as good as his word,
though he had a pretty hard time full
filling the contract to'the letter.-Phil-

ings.
HONGKONG, April 30.-It is denied
that the Spanish fleet has left Manila
to meet the American squadron. On
the contrary, it is asserted that the
Spanish war ships will remain in Ma
Mia bay to assist the forts.
1t is reported from Manila that the
American war ships have been sighted,
but the weather has been too stormy
for the fleet to communicate with the
rebels.
The insurgent chief, Aguinaldo, is
coming to Hongkong from Singapore.
1t is alleged that he abscOnded with a
half million dollars paid by the Span
ish Government for the other insur-
gent leaders.
All Manila kilograms are censored

PLANS FOR Hawaii
Proposition to Take Islands as a
War Measure.
THE OPINION IN WASHINGTON
Senator Davis Talks of Pearl Har-
bOr-Mr. Hatch Calls on
Government.


! NEW YORK, April 26.-A Sun spe-
cial from Washington says: A way has
been opened for the United States to
| take possession of the Hawaiian ISL
ands without waiting for vote of the
| Senate upon the pending treaty of an
nexation or the passage by Congress
of Senator Morgan's joint resolution,
providing for annexation.
Several weeks ago a bill was prepar-
ed by several members of the Foreign
Affairs Committee, with the approval
of the President and Secretary of
State, by the terms of which the Ha-
waiian Government was authorized to
recognize the authority of the United
States. The bill was sent to Honolulu
to be presented to the Hawaiian Legis-
lature, and news that it has been
adopted by that body is looked for at
an early day, possibly on the arrival of
the next steamer from the Islands.
The necessity of securing Pearl har-
Dor as cOaling station is generally
admitted, and there is fear that under
the neutrality laws the United States
will be entitled to no more privileges
in Hawaiian harbOrs than any other
harbors. It is possible the recent re-
port that Admiral Miller had been in
structed to hoist the flag of the United
States on the Government House at
or IvYIrJ NF h.
that the legislation referred to was
projected. 1t is likely the AdmiraPs
instructions contemplate the establish
ment of a cOaling station as soon as
bill providing for the recognition of
the United States.
The Washington Star says: Mem
bers of the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations are generally without
information as to the plans of the Ad-
ministratiOn in Hawaii, but some of
them indorse the idea of securing the
Pacific Islands by seizure at this time
Senator Davis, chairman of the com
mittee, is among those who hold this
view. He said yesterday that he con-
sidered the United States would be en-
case of war as a war measure.
''They would" he said, ''be neces-
sary for our own defense, and we
would be justified in their seizure at
such a time to prevent their falling
into the hands of our enemies, to
whom they would be invaluable. What
is to prevent Spain's sending a cruiser
to Honolulu and seizing the country,
there, including our coal, of which, I
understand, we have quite a supply on
the Islands. Furthermore, there are in
Hawaii many American citizens whose
interests it is necessary we should pro-
tect For these and other reasons l
should indorse the taking possession Of
the Islands by the United States IN
time of war with another country into
whose hands they might fall. We, of
course, know that the Hawaiian Gov
ernment is friendly to annexation, so
that requirement by this means would
not be so violent a proceeding as it
might seem under other circum-
stances"
It is said that in case possession was
acquired in this way there would be no
necessity for confrmatory action by
Congress.
