The Bishops Label.

Bishop Huntington once went down
to q town in Connecticut to perform a
marriage ceremony. He arrived the
at the same time the bridal pair did,
although he was driven to q 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 a loss to
that he was still the object of amused
attention. The porter positively snick-
cred as he passed his seat, and finally
just a. the train drew out lie 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 b%roadened into a laugh.
"Ain't you done lef' the lady, sah?"
he chuckled.
"EhY' exclaimed the bishop i'll 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 Il 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.

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 e of trans
uniting 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
cr 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 q sue
cession of generating plants or by a
process of storing the electricity and
conveying it by freight or express or
however, the now 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 1t.

A reflection not altogether without
value to such feminine scribes as have
not yet found their public is contained
in a remark made at a 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 a young woman ven
tured to remark to one Of the cold

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE WHILE TEN
PORARILY INSANE.

Thomas Haney of this city committed
suicide by hanging himself in his barn
on Friday afternoon between the hours
of 3 and A. Mrs. Haney having noticed
his absence for some time went out in
search of him and found his body swing
ing from rafter. Life was extinct. He
had tied rope to "A rafter and attached
it to his neck while standing on nail
keg. He then leaped off and thus ended
his life
An inquest was held before Justice
Markham and the jury quickly rendered
verdict of suicide while temporarily
insane" He has been in very poor health
for some time and while his acts were
not such as to cause alarm. it was evid-
ent AT times that he suffered from men
tai alteration. He suffered from amaze
mia which mainly affected his brain, it
not receiving sufficient nourishment to
keep it always in a normal condition.
He leaves a wife and daughter and two
sons NJ. H. Haney Of Algoma and J. l..
Haney of Kewaunee, both prominent
businessmen and men Of high character.
NJ. H. is mayor of Algoma and served
one term in the legislature.
Mr. Haney was born in Sligo, Ireland,
August 1920. and came to this country
when quite young man. He was one
of the early settlers of Kewaunee county
having located there in 1853. He engag-
ed in farming and was successful far be-
yond the ordinary measure. He dispos-
ed of his farm and took. up his residence
in Manitowoc IS years ago. He was a
man of comparatively few words except
to those whose friendship he valued He
was honest in every walk of life, true to
every obligation and a devoted husband
and father OF late years his health pre-
vented his being about much though he
enjoyed the companionship Of friends.
