Pope knew her ground and calmly
told her spouse that times had chang

that women had been emancipated
and were no longer the slaves of men;
that the old order has been reversed

Gerhardt that it was beneath the dig

it that way and angrily declared that

BIG BRIDGE BIDS OPENED.
Immensity or the Great Structure to be
Built Over East River,

New York, May 22.-The bids for
the new East river bridge were open
ed here yesterday. The approaches
will contrast strikingly with those OF
the present bridge. Those of the old
bridge comprise a series of stone
arches, while the new approaches will
be almost entirely of steel, except for
space of two blocks next to the en-
frances. At these points the APP
proaches will have reached to within
a few feet of the street level, and
masonry will there be substituted for
steel. About six thousand tons of
steel will be used on the Broadway
side and twelve thousand tons on the
Manhattan side. Between the mason
ry terminals and the anchorages the
approaches will consist of steel via
ducts.
The roadways will be on the out
side, the trolley tracks next to them
on the inside, and the elevated rail
road in the middle of the structure.
The footwalks and bicycle paths will
be carried on the main span and at
the anchorage directly over the troll
ley tracks. but on reaching the main
part of the steel viaduct the footwalks
and bicycle paths will be carried in
the middle between the trolley tracks
and under the elevated railroad. The
bicycle paths will lead directly out
into the plazas between the trolley
tracks. The footwalks will be carried
for the greater part Of the viaduct
under the bicycle path and will come
out at the cross streets next to the
terminals, namely at briggs avenue, in
Brooklyn, and at Attorney street, in
Manhattan, so that pedestrians in
crossing the bridge will not be in dan
ger at any time from trolley or BIZ
cycle traffic.

An Episcopal Protest.

Our sympathy is extended to the peo-
pie OF the Church of the Epiphany, Rich
mond Va, in a stand which they have
made against absolute papalism in this
church. A new altar had been erected. If
our Information Is correct, in accordance
with affairs generally used in all parts
of Catholic Christendom. The Bishop of
the Diocese, DIR. Whittle, in the course OF
his Official. visitation, admonished the
congregation that the altar must be TAX
en- away from the church and table
be put in it's place. The congregation
have refused to obey the arbitrary re-
quirement, and the Bishop has both re-
fused ever again to enter the church, un-
til his will s obeyed, and has instructed
his coadjutor to take the same ground.
In thus defending the rights of the
church against episcopal absolutism and
autocracy, the people of the Epiphany
are only following the example of resist
ance to papalism which has always dis
tinguished the Anglo-Saxon race. The
claim of the Bishop of Virginia to abso-
lutte personal obedience, Is every whit as
Objectionable and un-Catholic as the
| identically similar claim of his brother
the Bishop of Rome. The seeds of papal-
ism, sown in the episcopate by the ambi-
| tiouS prelates of Rome a thousand years
ago, seem as impossible to wholly destroy
as are the seeds of the Canada thistle.
/ 1t cannot be too distinctly taught that
/ the authority of the Bishop, whether of
/ Virginia or of Rome, is an authority
which cannot be exercised In defiance of
the canons, and an authority limited by
/ the larger authority of the collective epis-
copate. The theory that any Bishop exc
I ercises authority overriding that of
/ the councils of the church, general or
| national. IS one which is distinctly repu-
! dated by this church. The people of the
I Epiphany, Richmond, under the episcopal
interdict, may well recall how futile in
staying the progress ofthe church were
those larger interdicts attempted as
against the whole Church of England in
the reigns of both King John and Queen
Elizabeth. Papalism, whether of Rome
or of Virginia, will never be tolerated ir
this American church. - The Living
Church.

THE ENGLISH BABY CARRIAGE.

The baby who is quite English, don't
you know, doesn't appear out in the
ordinary wicker baby carriage. The
Anglo American baby has little car
riage set much higher on it's springs
than the ordinary American perambu-
lator, with a nice little leather top like
that Of regular carriage. 1t probably
has it's uses in England, where in case
of a shower the baby can be shut up as
snugly as possible out of the rain. A
good many mothers who like to keep
their babies out in all kinds of weather
are investing in these carriages, for
they say they have come to the con-
clusion that we are to have damp
rainy summer; that dampness Is felt
as much in the house as out of doors In
summer, and in fact more, for the baby
/ is not dressed for 1t, and with an Eng
| lish carriage they can send the BABY
out rain or shine, and the dampnes'
is just the thing for the complexion o
the future bellies of New York. Tn
