PROF. HiNEMoN's ADDRESS
Before the Graduating Class Star City
 High School.

The Star City Ledger says: aIn the address by Prof Hinemon. of Pine Bluff, those who were fortunate enough to hear him, gained new strength, inspiration and courage for the battles of fife. His talk was in deed plain, practical, pointed and soul enobling: causing the aged to take a new hold upon fife; the middle-agei to realize that there was yet time for great things, and to the young. point ing them to higher plane of living: stimulating them to the undertaking of great achievements and showing them that there is no position so high or eminence so hard to reach but that the same is open to him who wills to attain. He also argued the import ance of right living, and by happy and forceful illustrations. showed how our influences affect the lives of others. His address will long be cherished and your scribe verily believes will only cease accomplishing good when the wheels of time cease.

Cincinnati, O., June 11.-"There has been no time in our history when conditions would so justify the cleo tion of a president to a third term as in the case of Mckinley remarked Congressman Charles H. Grosvenor to a group of friends with whom he was chatting familiarly. Mckinley is personally the most popular presi- dent we have had in long time, and he has certainly most creditably per formed the duties of his high office.

 The facts are, as any student of the times may discover, that it was fear of defeat which impelled Wash ington to decline third nomination. Being Federalist, he was the object of violent attacks on the part of the Democrats of his day, and recogniz- ing the growing strength of his oppo- nents, he doubted, as I believe, his ability to again secure an election fl he should run"

ASSEMBLING
TO CHOOSE
A BISHOP
Many Delegates 10 Western Mas
sachusetts Episcopal Conven-
lion Favor Mr.. ROusmaniera

Springfield, Mass. Nov. iS-Ciergymen
and laymen prominent in the Episcopal
church I'm Massachusetts,, from Worcester
TO the state line, are arriving in Spring
field today in preparation for the con-
vention which Is TO establish the new
Episcopal diocese. Caucuses of clergymen
Hnd iaymen have already been neld and
by tonight most OF the delegates will
probably have settled upon their choice
for bishop.
More than 80 churchmen viii DO in
attendance. 1t has been the general
opinion Of the clergy that Rev. Or. ID. IA.
Greer OF st. Bartholomew church, New
York. will be the man selected for bishop.
a caucus held in Worcester having Sc
lected him, but the uncertainty OF obtain
ing him, tho strong individual support
which other men proposed will have, and
particularly the sentiment expressed IN
many sections that the new diocese should
not go outside it's jurisdiction in It's Sc
lection, render predictions or the result
almost valueless.
Rev. r. s. Rousmaniere. of Providence,
is considered by many one OF the leading
candidates.; there are also many support
ers OF Rev. Arthur Lawrence. OF stock
bridge, and Rev. j. G. Brooks of TINS city,
while he is not I'm any sense candidate,
may possibly be the choice.
Ever since the proposition was advanced
TO divide the Massachusetts diocese
clergymen have been discussing the prob
able opinions on thigh church" ard low
church will have on the division. IL Is
now admitted on the eve of the conven-
tion that this question will not enter into
the situation. The new diocese Will be
best designated after IL is formed as
broad church.
The question OF a name for tho diOcese
promises TO be subject for debate.
Springfield will probably be the seat OF
the diocese but Il cannot be called the
diocese of Springfield, as an Illinois dio-
I cese has already that name. The diocese
\ OF Western Massachusetts, has been the
! name most frequently mentioned, but
| there are many objections TO this name.
| Practically the only other names sug-
| gested are 1.-THE diocese OF Worcester,
\ or berkshire"
\ Bishop William Lawrence win open tho
convention at 9:45 a. IN. ia the church

4 ance with the custom the sacrament OF

IL may be said generally. however, that
