CONSIDERATION OF
 BISHOP COADJUTOR
Will Take Place Within the Next
 Few Weeks.
BISHOP WILL MFRS CONDITION
Critically III at His Home in Mobile and Feared He Cannot Recover Method of Ratiiying
 Bishop-Elect

The venerable and beloved Bishop Will mer, who lies critically i'll at his home in Mobile is the object of tender solleitude, not only in Episcopal circles but among Alabamans in general. In view of his ad- vanced age it is feared there is little or no hope of his recovery.
 The Rev. Robert W. Barnwell of Selma, who was elected bishop coadiutor cum jure successionis by the diocesan council May IS, will probably be consecrated in the latter part of July or early in August. The election of every bishop must be confirmed by a majority of the standing committees of the doceses throughout the country and by majority of the bishops before conservation can take place.
 The name of the bishop-elect must be submitted to all of the bishops and to all of the standing committees, but a majori- ty of each having signed affirmatively the necessary steps are immediately taken for the conservation. As there are seventy two standing committees in the United States the process of action is necessarily slow. Each chairman calls a meeting of his committee soon after he receives the official notice of the election of a bishop; puI IL frequently HappenS that a quorum fails to respond to the first call, in which event another date must be fixed and an other call issued. It seldom happens, however, that longer period than ten or twelve weeks elapses before a majority of dioceses is heard from.
 Occasionally protests are raised against the confirmation of an episcopal election as in the case of the late Bishop Phillips Brooks of Boston, whose churchmanship was questioned. And protests cause delay. But there is no protest in the case of the Rev. MT. Barnwell and standing committee action will be expeditions as maybe.
 A majority of bishops and committes having acted favorably the next step Is taken by the presiding bishop of the United States-the Right Rev Thomas M Clark of Rhode Island. After communicating with the bishop-eect Bishop Clark will ap- point consecratior, two or more assist ant consecrators, and other functionaries, and fix the time and place for the cere- mony. Most of these matters of detail, While canonically vested in the presiding bishop, are, as rule, the result of the choice of the one to be consecrated
 It is believed that the consecration of MT. Barnwell will take place in St Paul's church, Selma, and it is likely that many Episcopalians of Birmingham will be pres ent on that interesting occasion.

POLICE COURT

When Judge Feagin opened court yester- day morning Adam Hatfield was called up to explain why he had got tangled up with hnother negro, Dave Haney, and had given him a fogging. He took the stand and proceeded to deliver himself as follows:
 Now, jedge, rse gwine ter tell you ies' exactly like hit happened, and I ain't heah to tell no lie bout dis heah case.

 Call the next one."
 "Yes, sah; thankee sir"
 case was called against Annie Goode who raised all kinds of sand on a car Sum- day evening and cursed out the conductor who took her off and turned her over to the police.
 She was fined $10.
 John McCombs Sr and John McCombs Jr., were called before the bar charged with disorderly conduct and resisting an officer. When the defendants were ushered in there was an old man and a young one presumably father and son. The older one was under the influence of whiskey Sunday afternoon standing crowded sidewalk when Chief Austin asked him to step to one side so people could pass The old fellow told him that he didn't know as it was any of his business where he stood, when the chief showed him to one side. Then the young man made for the chief who left a good place for a sticking clas- ter on his nose. Then the older one opened his knife when he was startled to look down the barrel of the officers pistol The young one didn't have enough and went at the officer again when gentle tap from the barrel of the pistol on the head stopped him.
 Both pleaded guilty stating that they mistook the chief for a Howard college cadet and as the chief said they were good country people and possibly did not know they were violating the city law the judge Jet them off with a fine of $5.
 Eddle Trucker was then called around, Charged with whipping his wife, but, like many other such cases turn out, she had repented of her hasty action, and did not want to say much about the matter against her husband The judge, however, assessed fine of $10.
 Julius Wilson, a chopped-off- looking ne- gro, called around for vagrancy, and was let down gently on fine of $1O

There is another visitation of house thieves in the town. It is time to get ready for them. Any man who enters house to steal is prepared to do mur- der. There is but one way to meet these villains, and that is with pistol. No man should sleep in a room with out pistol at hand ready to use
 It is impossible for our police force to guard the residence portion of the city. If the force were twice as large that would not be expected. So in re- ality we are expected to guard our own homes and loved ones and to look after our property with our own strong arms.
 We are good citizens when we shoot a burglar; we fail in our duty to our neighbors when we allow one to es- cape.
