INCENSE IN CHURCHES
Important Decision by the Arch
bishop Of Canterbury.
Ceremonial Use of the Burning Per-
fume Not Authorized In the Book
of Common Prayer-Neither En-
Joined Nor Permitted by Episcopal
Law-An Appeal to the Clergy.

London, July 31.-The Archbishop of
Lambeth Palace as to the legality of the
use of incense and lights in the Church OF
England. The guard room was filled with
prominent persons of the clergy and laity.
rection in the Book OF Common Prayer
authorizing the ceremonial use of either
increase or lights. Incense was excluded
not because it was an i'll thing but be-
cause it was not suited to the needs of
the day. The sovereign on the advice OF
the primate could if necessary on a great
occasion sanction its incorporation in a
new ceremony under section Is OF Queen
Elizabeth's act of. uniformity
The Archbishop says that he is far from
saying that incense is an unsuitable or un-
desirable accompaniment to divine wor
skip, but that is not the question. The
question is whether the liturgical use of
incense is lawful or unlawful and he is
obliged to state that it is neither enjoined
nor permitted by the law of the Church
of England. 1t is his duty, he says, to re-
quest the clergy who have used IL to dis
continue its use. II it is used at al in
the language of George Herbert, it must
be used tocsweeten the church and outside
of the worship. The same ruling applied
to lights-,trT
The Archbishop also rules that there is
no authority for professions and concludes
with an appeal to the clergy to submit to
the episcopal authority.

A DEFENCE OF GENERAL OTIS.
Lieutenant Colonel Eager Speaks In
His Praise.

San Francisco, Cal. July 31-Lieuten-
ant Colonel Eager came back on the Han
cock. He is but twentysix years old, and
Is the youngest officer Of his rank in the
service. Eager went to Manila as adju-
tant of the First Battalion of Nebraska
Volunteers. Mrs. Eager came all the way
from Lincoln, Neb.. to welcome her son.
Lieutenant Colonel Eager, In discussing
the conditions at LuZon, said:
There is too much fault finding with
Major General Otis. He is an honorable
and conscientious man. He has acted in
way he considered best to end the rebel
lion. He may not be Grant or a Sheri-
dan. but in my opinion he is entitled TO
great credit for what he has accomplish
ed, especially with the means at his COM
mand / come home convinced that other
countries cannot produce such fighting
men as American volunteers and regu
lars. and no feeling existed between the
two branches of the army in the Philip
pines. Colonel Stotsenberg was the fight
ing man of them all. What Nebraska off,
GERS and men know about battle was
taught them by the idol of the regiment,
who fell leading his men against the Fill
pinos entrenched at Quinga. Colonel Stot-
senberg was an ideal officer. He was
a merciless. disciplinarian, but in action he
electrified his men. Filipinos are amigos
by day and warriors by night, and they
are learning to fight better every day"

TRADE CHANCES IN RUSSIA.
Suggestions From the American Vic,
Consul General at Frankfort.

Suggestions From the American Vice
Consul General at Frankfort.
Simon W. Hanauer, Vice Consul General
at Frankfort, writes to the State Depart
ment as follows, under date of June 90,
about trade openings in Russia:
The last pamphlet June, 1S99), published
by the Chamber of Commerce at Frankfort,
contains the following:
For the purpose of fostering German
trade relations with Russia an illustrated
monthly publication has just been founded
in st. Petersburg to bring to the attention
of Russian merchants and consumers the
names of German sources of supply ana
manufacturing firms. This enterprise prom
ises to be advantageous TO the German ex-
port trade and is especially opportune, be-
cause monthly magazine-the Russian
English Magazine'-has been published in
Moscow in the interest of English trade
since November, 1S98.
For the last FIVE years our national
association of manufacturers in the United
States and other trade associations, steam
ship and transportation lines have directed
their efforts toward increasing our trade
with Latin America While / endorse all
attempts to increase our exports, I believe
,
energy expended upon furthering our trade
relations with the great Russian empire
would prove more profitable.
Russia has not only an Immensely
larger population than Latin America,
thus affording US a wider market, but the
vast empire offers the best and most
profitable field for our promoters of rail-
way, electric, and other enterprises, for
the construction of water works and drain
age systems, building streets and canals,
works in iron-making. dry docks, and har-
bors and opening mines. Americans have
the most favorable chances to employ
their capital and skill in the Russias as
the people of that country are rather jea1-
GUS of Europeans who figure in the role of
pioneers, whereas they have no fear of
American assistance in developing the re-
sources of their country. I would recon-
mend my countryment to ''go East" and
employ their talent, time, money, and en-
ergy in Russia, which will return them
ample compensation.

COMBINATION DINING CARS.
They Save Passengers From an In.
genious System of Taxation.


New York, July 31.-A Southern railroad
Is preparing to convert all OF its dining
cars into combination cafe and table d'hote
compartments This plan will place within
reach of everybody the possibility of get
ting what they want and paying for what
they get, and, in addition, it will leave
open to the man who wishes to smoke the
privilege of doing so in the cafe. an i'm
possibility in the ordinary dining-car. The
railway which is making this change will
undoubtedly benefit by the plan quite as
much as its passengers.
Such plan will put an end to the in
genious system by which the railway COM
panies give their passengers the thing they
want least In the way of meals and charge
them the highest possible price for it. Up
to the present time there has never been
a regular la carte service in any of the
dining-cars of the big roads in the East.
This want has been felt by the public, and
as a result the restaurants at the different
stations have received coed share of the
small trade from those who did not care to
pay a dollar for a dinner. and who could
get nothing for less than that amount. The
idea of the companies seems to have been
to get as much as possible out of the pas
Senger, wnom tney had practically at their
mercy. 1t is true that in the ordinary
drawing room car lunches are served on
the la carte plan, but only in case there
happens to be no dining-car on the train.
The station restaurants add to the general
discomfort by their high prices. As a con-
sequence, many travellers on Eastern roads
carry lunch baskets.
West of the Mississippi the opposite con-
dition of affairs is found. The table d'hote
is rare on dining-cars, and the la carte
system is the common one. In the West
the passenger, as rule. is making long
journey. Consequently, he desires an
abundance, and he is made to pay for it by
ordering it la carte.
In this manner he gives three or four
times for his dinner what it would cost
him table fhote. Thus the railroad COM
pany is the gamer by the a la carte system
in the West, as it is by the table d'hote
system in the East.

Fourteen Weddings Fall to the Lot
of Aunt Polly Owens.
Noblesville, Ind. July S1.-Queer matri-
monial records have been discovered in In

these is the fourteenth marriage of Aunt
Polly Owens, of White River Township

Since then she has averaged new hrs
band every two years. She has procured
eight or nine divorces. The rest of her
husbands have died. She has only six
children as the result of her multi-mar-
riage career, but those six have as many
different names.
Edward Dorsey, residing at 1918 North
west Street, Indianapolis. has not only
one of the best matrimonial records in In
diana, but he lays claim to the largest
family in the State. His family numbers
forty-nine children, the result of six mar
riages. Twenty-nine OF them are step
children, but they are all claimed by him
as his family.

He is sixty-seven and she is ten years his
junior. II is his sixth and her fifth matri-
monial venture. Both have large families.

WORE A GREEN DRESS SUIT.
Chicago Alderman Astoniske es
Swell Society ut SarafoEn.

Saratoga, y. Y, July 3L-From out OF
Chicago weeks ago came the news that AL
derman John Coughlin, of that town, some
times known as "Bath-House John" was
having constructed for him a green dress
suit in which he proposed to make his So
cial bow to the East. Those who supposed
this was a dream Of the fiippant young per-
sons who write things for Chicago papers
were proved TO be wrong, for at the first
grand bali of the Saratoga season, which
occurred Saturday night at the Grand Union
Hotel, there also occurred Alderman Cough
lin and his green dress suit.
The hundreds of guests who crowded tbs
ballroom for several startled minutes alb
solutely refused to believe their own eyes
and stood blinking in dazed bewilderment
Gradually. however. the conviction that
their sense of sight was not playing
pranlzs was forced upon them, but then
their wonder grew, for the truth was
stranger than any illusion.
There stood the hero of hundred alder
manic battles and a thousand tales of po-
litical prowess, arrayed in coat waistcoat
and trousers OF a greenness that in tint
was between a Jersey landscape by Innes
and Chinese idol carved of jade. All
doubt that the material of which the gar
ment was made had been specially woven
for this most daring dress reform vanish
ed as the the electric lights brought out
fts wondrous changing shimmering green.
The orchestra stopped playing, the floor
manager threw furniture to the right and
20 the left, and the dancers formed 4 line
and marched past the alderman in dumb
joy 1t was a triumph for Chicago, COM
plete, Overwhelming, satisfying. With re-
assuring wave of his hand Alderman
Coughlin endeavored to put the people at
their ease. Another wave started the mu-
sic. and then. with tall, good looking
handsomely dressed partner, who proved
20 be Mrs. Coughlin, he began gliding over
the floor in the intricate step of the Hi
bernian two-step and the dance went on
OF course nothing else was talked of all
Saturday night and yesterday, but the Chi
cago alderman takes his honors modestly.
and is now circulating freely about the
corridors dressed in boulevard silk hat,
a piccadilly frock coat, a blue plaid vest,
trousers of mixed grey and red, and pat
ent-leather shoes.
Mr.. Augustus Van Wyck, who is also
a guest at the Union, was among those
who frankly confessed that Mr. Coughlin
has furnished the sensation in the way of
the whole history of Saratoga. 81 am con-
WINGED, said Mr.. Van Wyck to the hero
of the day. Il am convinced, Mr.. Alder
man, that YOU have not taken so import

This Horse a Good Eater.

Watertown, N. Y, July 31-"Cub" was
the name of a horse, thirty-two years old,
owned by o. S. Graves, of Watertown. The
horse was shot Friday because his teeth
had become so unsound that he could not
masticate his food. The horse was foaled
in the spring of 1867. He had never
changed owners and had occupied the same
stall in the same barn during his whole
lifetime. He had eaten more than sixty
tons Of hay and 1000 bushels of oats from
the same feed box, placed there by the same
master. He was nevr i'll or lame, had
never been overworked nor overdriven
Only once did he rebel. That was the year
he was twentyone. He refused to work or
drive, and had to be left in idleness in
pasture all summer.
Next season he resumed his usual duties
and performed them until a few years ago,
when he became too decrepit for service.

San Francisco, July 31.-The mystery
Of the sending Of basket Of poisoned fruit
to Miss Florence Campbell, of 610 Ellis
Street, has been solved by Chief of Police
Lees, and the result shows that there was
no attempt made to take life, and that
no one was even made ill by the poisoned

the poison to herself in furtherance of
little plot, by which she hoped to keen
her name from figuring in divorce suit.

the fruit. The police learned Of the case
and an Investigation was made by Chief
Lees. The results of the investigation were
laid before the District Attorney, who stat
