who is the mouthpiece of the House of
Bishops, is required. His work is light
and largely pro forma.
Bishop Tuttle is a New Yorker by. birth,
Alonzo Potter of New York, who was
uncle of the present Bishop and is a
graduate of Columbia and the General
Theological Seminary. Advanced to the
the little town of Morris, Otsego County,
New York, and from this humble coun-
try pulpit he was raised to become first
Bishop of Utah and Montana before he
engaged in an active controversy with
MormOnism and its peculiar institutions,
but succeeded in gathering about him a
strong force of Gentle supporters and
founding his church on an enduring basis.
In 1868 he was elected Bishop of Mis-
souri,, but declined the office. Again, in
1886, he was elected to this see and ac-
cepted.

twenty years, as was proposed In the
old bill, to about twelve or fifteen years
that will come up before the conference,
1T is understood, will be to fix uniform
rate of subsidy of cent per gross ton

In the old bill it was proposed to pay
