Letter From ReY J. Q. BabcOck
Communicated
Lancaster. Va May p, 90.

Lancaster. Va, May 25 90.
To The Free Lance:
My attention has been called to the
fact that in the interesting account Of
your recent trip to this county. it is
stated that White Marsh Methodist
Church, Of which / have the honor at
being pastor, boasts Of being the spirit
ual mother Of three bishops. This is a
little mistake-a little more honor than
is due. White Marsh has given to the
world two and not three bishops. but
these two, David S Doggett and Enoch
George, took high rank, and were great
pulpit orators, and did much for the
amelioratiOn Of the race.
In McTyieres' History Of Method
ism we find the following: 'Enoch
George elected Bishop 1876 was a ma
tive of the Northern Neck of Virginia,
a region that has been prolific Of great
men
The New Johnson CyclOpaedia gives
this note concerning Bishop Doggett :
"Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, born in Lancaster coun-
ty, Va, June %, 1910, educated at the
University of Virginia; entered the
innerant ministry in the Virginia con-
ference of the Methodist Church in
1929; was professor in Randolph Macon
College, Va, and consecrated bishop in
1867, from which time his residence
was in Richmond, Va and died Octo-
Der 27th, 1880.
The end of White Marsh Church is
not yet The building is a substantial
brick structure, with side galleries
and is in good repair She has a large
membership that fills the spacious
building on preaching days, and also
one of the best Sunday schools in the
Neck. Mr. George E. Shackelford is
the superintendent and Messrs. r. B.
Brown, j. Mayo Robinson, Vim. Sloane
and George W. Hazard are the stew
ards.
On the 18th of July next there will
be Sunday school mass meeting at
this historic church. and among the
speakers we note the names of Rev.
Frank Burruss, of Montross Rev. w.
L. Ware, Whealton's; Rev. w. g.
Burch. Richmond county; Rev. Jas. II.

Hon. O. Harding Walker, Heathsville,

are cordially invited.

Taking the pillow. freely inter-

1.-The Duchess d ARGOS was the first Of

awaited tine coming Of the candidates
for the new honor Two rows Of stools
extended the length. Of the apartment,
one row for the ladies already entitled
to their use, and one for the incoming
class. After taking her seat the Queen
sienifed her desire that the ladies fol.
low her example. Whereupon the pre-
sentation began. The American Ouch
ess and her 'Madrina' were the first tc
be received. Immediately upon enter
ing the apartment, hand.in hand, they
made a profound courtesy to the Queen,
which the latter returned. Advancing
few steps further, they again courte-
sled TO her majesty and then to the
right and left to the ladies Of the court
who rose from their pillows to receive
and return the salutation.
by this time the two Duchesses
were directly before the Queen, when
they courtesied for the last time. The
Madrina withdrawing, the Duchess
d'Arcos was invited to advance and oc
cupy a pillow close to her sovereign .,
who conversed with her for some mo-
ments, when the Duchess, born Vir.
ginia Lowery. of Washington, kissed
the hand of Maria Christina. born a
Princess Of Austria, and the Queen Re-
gent of Spain. and proceeded TO the first
Of the unoccupied stools, which closed
the ceremony so far as this particular
member Of the Spanish aristocracy Is
concerned. "

AN ENTERTAINING STORY.
How Princess Salm Salm Kissed Lin
coln.
New York Tribune

New York Tribune
The following story Of the intimacy
and record that existed between Lin
coin and Mai Gen. Daniel + Sicllles
was told by the General himself at a
recent afternoon reception given by
Princess SAlm -Salm in her apartments.
at the hotel Cambridge:
"At luncheon given by me to Pres
ident Lincoln in camp" said General
Sickles, Il noticed that the President
was suffering from one of those mel
ancholy moods that sometimes attack
men of strong purpose and abundant
native wit. After trying in every way
that could to dispel the gloomy
thoughts that weighed so heavily upon
the Presidents mind at last proposed
to the women that they should draw
up a line and kiss him. They entered
heartily into the joke, but no one SEEM
ed equal to the task Of being first.
Whereupon | turned TO Princess Saln'
Salm and declared that as she was the
Youngest. the sprightliest and the most
courageous Of the company, it should
deyolve upon her to set the example and
head the march.
. But. General, objected the Prin-
cess, he is so very tall, | will never be
able to get up to him 'AhP replied
if Won will but intimate ever so slight
lv your intention am sure Lincoln will
do all in his power to overcome the
difficulty.
ct is needless to say" continued the
General, 'rhat the idea succeeded. In
fact, it worked like a charm, and the
women were not only amply rewarded
for their charming bravery, but the en-
tire camp felt with renewed force the
power and charm concealed in woman's
kiss.
''That night the President mentioned
the kissing episode to Mrs Lincoln
Who were they asked Mrs. Lincoln:
The Princess Salm-Salm and other
charming women, replied the President.
,Ah = said she. who from this moment
was a stanch enemy Of the Princess,
what could you expect? "These wo-
men are all circus riders.
Hence" said the General, 1.-THE ORR
gin of the story that the Princess
Salm Salm began her career as circus
rider.
"Soon after this event in the camp /
dined with President ana Mrs Lincoln,
and was greatly discomforted by the
frigid deme nor of my hostess, that she
maintained a. inst every attempt the
President made to restore peace between
US, for Mrs Lincoln was not yet able
to forgive me for my sin against her In
being instru mental in bringing the
camp kissing
"Finslly, almost in despair, Lincoln
turned to me, and in his quiet way re-
marked, L am told. General, that you
are an extremely religious man.

Of surrounding large body Of insur-
gents must have been abandoned as he
reports the insurgents as scattered, with
only meager information as to where
they have gone. If it is true that some
of them have gone into the province of
Sambeles, they can yet be captured, as
the complete occupation of the coun-
try between Manila and Dagupan would
prevent their escape.
The second dispatch, which reports
the operation of Lawton, indicates a
belief on the part of Otis that the in
surgents have been driven northwest
ward to Bayombong. This town is
far to the northeast of the country
in which Lawton is operating, and it
seems to be the hope OF Otis that the
insurgents have been prevented from
going to the mountain capital, though
according to the maps in the War De-
partment no obstacles seem to exist
which would prevent them from reach
ing Bayombong from the western coun-
try, where it is supposed they have
been driven
