The Episeopaiian Clergymeu's Revised
Canon Is Rigid.


In the report TO be submitted to the
convention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church on the prohibition of marriage
within certain degrees of consanguinity
is proposed canon forbidding a man
from wedding his dead wife's sister,
There has been vigorous opposition.
Attached TO the report is proposed
canon on prohibited degrees" This is
il; Marriage between persons standing
TO one another in the following relations
is prohibited by this church. 4 man
may not marry his mother, step-mother,
daughter, step-jaughter, daughter-in-
law, sister, Slster-in-law, grandmother,

Notwithstanding grandson. step-grand-
son, grandson-in-law, uncle uncle by
marriage, nephew. nephew by marriage"
Should the proposed canon be accepted
il will raise within the Episcopal Church
i'll this country the question which has
long veNed the lawgivers in England on
the subject of the deceased wife's sis
ter. for marriage to a sister-in-law :
prohibited Marriages of divorced Jer-

John Alexander Dowie appeared before
his Chicago congregation Sunday with
wings attached 10 his clerical robe. He
announced that certain physicians had
formed plot to kidnap him, lock him in

He also made threats against the physi-
clans that he would do to them as he
thought they were trying TO do to hins
unless they shall lei him alone and stop
calling him paranoac.
With all this, Dowie repeated his pre-
tensions to be Elijah reinearnated, maxi
ing way for the end OF the world, aud he
incidentally laid claim TO Immortality.

Dowie also declared his intention Of
