DENOUNCED TIE BISHOP.

a sensation Was caused al an eXecu-
tive session of the College of Bishops OF
the Methods, Episcopal Church AZ
Syracuse, n Y, Wednesday evening.
During the discussion Chancellor Day,
head of the leading Methodist Episco.
pal institution of learning in the State,
the Syracuse University, took occasion
to denounce Bishop Hurst, of the Ma
tional University at Washington, and
Bishop McCabe, of Fort Warth, Tex.
He did so in most vigorous terms.
The trouble was brought about by a
resolution submitted by the two
Bishops, calling attention to the fact
that on april p the Northern New
York Conference was kind enough to
subscribe 81 900 for the endowment fund
of the American University, proposed
to be founded in Washington. D. G.
Chancellor Day said that ne was op-
posed to any such contribution beiug
made. as he considered oil of this
Stale his exclusive territory for solicit
ing subscriptions for educational mat
ters. He warmed up as he spoke and
said something of au uncom piimeutAIy
ra,ure concerning the action of Ire
bishops in sOliciting aid in Syracuse for
proposed institution in Washington
He said that Bishop Hurst was Going
wrong in coming into the territory OF
Syracuse University for subscriptions
for "his visionary institution of learn
ing at the national capital
1t is also stated by one who was pres
ent that he allowed himself 10 say that
the meu who pressed the clergymen OF
New York Northern Conference to sub
scribe funds for the Washington Uni.
versity were unworthy OF the bish-
opric."
A dignifed reply was made by one of
the bishops in defense of Bishops Hurst
and McCabe, and for the sake Of har'
mony proposed resolution, which was
adopted, that the contribution be trans
ferred to the credit OF Syracuse Univer-
sity. The convention came to o close
yesterday morning with the appoint
ment of committee, of which former
Chancellor Charles n. Sims, of Syra-
cuse University, is the head, to raise
the S2,00O.OOO which is to be used for
Syracuse University.

The France-Italy demonstrations OF

impulsive nature of the Latin races a
few weeks ago. the Italians and French

festivities was the review OF the COM

The French newspapers are making a
great stir over the meeting of the two
fleets under the eye of King Humbert as

of well-drained land.
The food of the old pheasants is the
same as that of the common fowls, ex-
cept in breeding season that we give
them some barley meal. | estimate
that il costs about one dollar each TO
raise the pheasants 10 six months OF
age. The males weigh 2is pounds, fe-
males two pounds. We have but little
trouble with hawks or other pests.
There is no shade in the field and we
provide during hot weather an artificial
shade by means of boards. Pheasants
are very hardy and we never keep them
confined because Of wet weather or wet
grass. The young pheasants are fed
largely on patent meal obtained from
England, made especially for pleas
ants. They could be raised on maggots.
but these are offensive TO have on the
place where there are visitors. There
is good demand for pheasants for
stocking parks, game preserves and pri-
waite grounds, the lowest price being
$50 per dozen. When the pheasants Get
away they make for brook or run
ming water. hence we can usually man
nge to catch them, although with some
difficulty.
During the blizzard of November. in
which the aviaries were driftel full OF
snow up to the very top. under III this
snow We're so breeding pheasants. Men
started TO dig them out. which took a

seems they had not gotten a few Of
them, which were recovered from the
snow after II days and lived through it..
