jutor of the Episcopal diocese OF
Quincy:
my Dear Brethren: The election
of which you notify me, in the name

erations than those of duty.
1.-The honor of the episcopate is so
great-the highest, indeed. which Gao
be bestowed upon any man-that no
one for a moment deems himself
worthy of it.
1.-The action of the convention Of
the diocese of Quincy in making this
election was taken with such unanim-
ity and harmony, and the many as.
surances of cordial cooperation since
rendered me by the clergy aud laity
of the diocese have been so spontane-
Gus, that, in so far as fallible human
judgment can discern, | am per-
suaded that the call thus given me 10
enter upon this work is of God
through His church. Therefore, in
the fear Of God. and relying solely on
His strength. accept this election to
become the bshop-coad utor of the
diocese of Quincy, subject to the
canonic Al consent of the standing
committee of the several dioceses and
the bishops of the American church.

1t didn't take long to tell yester-
days story and when it was over the
gist of it was to to the Shamrocks'
credit As contest it proved decid-
edly slow. Rock Island cinched the
game IN the start and after that it
seemed as though the main endeavor
on both sides was to finish the game
as soon as possible.
The excursion from Galva, together
with the free admission of ladies, gave
good sized audience. but there was
little enthusiasm, every body feeling
that the home team was only getting
what belonged to it naturally, and
what it ought to have taken the day
before.
1t was the quickest played game
that has been seen on the local dia-
mond this season, the time being 1
hour and minutes. This was main
ly due to the fact that both sides were
playing to beat a rainstorm that hung
ominously over in the south.
Five Runs In First.
Thomas, the visitors star twirler,
was in the box and there was some
apprehension as to what he would do
to the locals. This was quickly dis
PEELED. however, when five runs were
knocked out of him in the first In
the second Thomas slowed down and
only three scores were run. In the
third he threw a little slower yet and
one run was the best the locals could
do. The last six innings he handed
them over in the easiest possible man
ner and to save their regulations the
Shamrocks could not score. Time
after time batters came up and
slammed viciously at the first one

slow fly or q small grounder Roth

Rothermel. Four of the tallies wei Q

stepped into the store where he was

"What coior?" inquired the clerk,
with affected nonchalance.

Trembling in his shoes and keeping

Treatment For sprains.

The prevalence Of sprains and strains
owing to the indulgence in athletic
exercises of all kinds moves an au-
thority on the treatment of these PAIN
full accidents to say:
A little common sense treatment Is
often all that is needed when the STRAIN
Is at ankle or wrist and without COM
plIcations. 1t will swell very alarming
" at first and gradually develop q
frightful looking bruise, but from the
first II should have complete rest aEo
a treatment Of hot and cold douches
the hot being used at first, when the
swelling is painful, and the cold iatel
on. as a sort of tonic to the relaxed
muscles. The hot must be very MOI
and the cold very cold, as the tepio
water does harm rather than GOOD.
For the first day Of strain, wher
all the wrenched carriages and mus
Giles are aching, great relief is found IL
a poultice of egg and salt. To make IL
beat the white of an egg till light, but
not stiff. Stir in gradually cup ant
a half Of salt, or more If needed, Il
make a thick, paste,ike icing. SpreaC
this on a cloth and bandage in place
Cover all with oil silk or thick bati
towel to protect the sheets, since tn
egg leaks out continually. After THU
has relieved the soreness begin witt
hot water lamentations and wear
light, firm bandage, except at night.

about 1t, doing much talking and con.
