The Bishops Label.

Bishop Huntington once went down
to town in Connecticut to perform a
marriage ceremony. He arrived the
day before the wedding, and he left
at the same time the bridal pair did,
although he was driven to a different
railway station. AS he passed through
the station, carrying his travelling bag,
he was aware that he was creating a
sensation, but was totally at loss to
account for it. In the car he found
that he was still the object of amused
attention. The porter positively snick-
cred as he passed his seat, and finally
just as the train drew out he came up
and assisted the churchman to remove
his overcoat.
What is the matter with you, my
man" asked the bishop The porter's
smoker broadened into a laugh.
'Ain't you done lef' the lady, sab p
he chuckled.
Chip exclaimed the bishop in sur
prise. Then his eye fell on the side of
his travelling bag which the porter had
just turned round. There glued to it
was wide strip of white satin ribbon
on which was painted in large letters:
Married this morning"
The facetiously minded best man had
mistaken the bishops travelling bag
for that Of the bridegroom, and a
chuckling black porter worked late in
to the night removing that RIBBON

When CoaI Gives Out,

The Adirondack region abounds with
streams, most of which can some time
be made use of as sources of power for
carrying on industries, running rail
roads and furnishing light and heat.
Indeed, the great problem at present
is not at all to find available heads Of
water, but to devise means of trans
hitting the power with the minimum
loss for long distances.
1t is impossible to believe that with
the success Of existing plants and the
spectacle of practically unlimited pow
er going to waste on every hand, to
stimulate inventive genius, methods
will not be devised before very long
for overcoming this difficulty Of trans
mission.
Whether it is by the discovery of
some new conveyor or by using sue
cession of generating plants or by a
process of storing the electricity and
conveying it by freight or express or
however, the new power is bound in
time to come into practically universal
use. If the difficulty of transmission is
never wholly obvious, it may be there
will be some regrouping of industries
and communities In the near vicinity of
important sources of water supply

The Cause of II.

A reflection not altogether without
value to such feminine scribes as have
not yet found their public is contained
in a remark made at recent dinner in
London, where 200 literary women met
one another. Says the London Out

AS the extremely well dressed crowd
surged and swayed round the plat
form after the recitation which fol
lowed the dinner young woman ven
tured to remark to one of the "old

Thinus to Remember.

Never forget that women are made
out of girls and that men are made
out of boys; that If you are a worth
less girl you are a worthless woman,
and If you are worthless boy you
will be worthless man, and the best
educated men and women once did not
know "a, B, c." that all the things
which you are learning had to be
learned by them; that the efforts spent
in making others happy will in some
way add to your own happiness; that a
life of usefulness and helpfulness is
worth many times more than life of

Selects Quay Indictments.
Upon court reconvenng Mr.. Shields in
CURED Of the district attorney which OF the
hve indictments against the two defendants
he elected to be tried frst
Mr. Rothermel, in reply, said he was will
ing, II the defense was, to try the defend
ants Jointly on all the indictments. Mr..
Shields, however. insisted that as it was the
commemorative duty to elect what indict-
ment II any should be tried that course
should be pursued. The district attorney
thereupou selected the bill charging ex-
Senator Quay and the late Benjamin II.
Haywood. formerly state treasurer, with
conspiracy in the use of the public funds
in the Peoples bank in a manner unau-
thorlzed by law.
The attention of the jury was called to
Mr.. Haywoods death, thus leaving ex-
Senator Quay alone on trial Assistant
District Attorney Finletter who prepared
the indictments against MIR. Quay and his
son, made the opening argument for the
commonwealth
After citing the law bearing on the case
Mr.. Finletter reviewed the two counts OF
the indictment, the first charging con-
spiracy to make profit out of the states
money and the second the use OF state
money in manner not authorized by law
He said the late treasurer of the Peoples
bank Hopkins had unlawfully computed
interest on state funds deposited by Hay
wood and that Quay received the profits.
The proof of this, he said would be
found in the handwriting of Haywood, Hop
kins and Mr. Quay. The charter of the
Peoples bank was offered in evidence and
counsel for the defense called the courts
attention to the section of the act au-
thorizing the Incorporation of the bank
which permits the bank to buy and sell
stocks. The defense has contended that
| under this privilege 1t was perfectly law
ful for Cashier Hopkins to transact Mr.
Quay's stock business
The first witness called was Thomas II
| Barlow, special assistant to Former Dis
trict Attorney Graham, who was appointed
receiver OF the bank at the time of its
failure. He identified the books of the
bank, papers, letters and other books found
| in Hopkins desk. Among the latter was
one in which there were entries in red
ink which apparently indicated computa-
| tions of interest on state funds made by
Hopkins This, counsel agreed to desig-
nate as 1.-The red book
Court adjourned at 3:05 p. m. until to-
morrow morning when the defense will
s-examine Mr.. Barlow.

NO LACK OF MEDICAL ATTENTION.
wounded at Manila Are Very
Promptly Cared For.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Surgeon Gen
eral Sternberg has received from Chief Sur
geon Lippincott at Manila an account of the
operations of the Medical department there
during the heavy fighting that took place
on the 4th and 9Th of February at the be-
ginning of hostilties between the insur-
gents and the United States forces. The
report says that the wounded were brought
in quickly and those on the field received in
stant attention. The department was in
fine condition at the moment OF the first
fire and continued to improve from day TO
day. Everything was well planned and the
greatest enthusiasm manifested by the
men in performing the duties assigned to
them. Surgeon Lippincott reports that the
wounded have every reasonable comfort and
the prospects for their ultimate recovery
are very encouraging.
