of Big Church Convention-Hunt.

Worship Goes over.

San Francisco, Oct 1S.-The Epis-
copal convention has adjourned sine

! busy one in both houses most of the
time, however, being taken up with
the discussion of matters not definite.
| ly decided. 1t was agreed to make
Honolulu and Cuba missionary dis
tricts. The election of Rev. Cameron
Mann, as missionary bishop of North
Dakota, was concurTed in by the
i bishops.
Both houses agreed to the report Of
the committee on the proposed Hunt
ington amendment permitting modi-
fed forms of worship. This action
virtually relegates the matter to the
i next general convention. DR.. Hunt
ington said he would now leave to
younger men the continuance of the
fight he had begun.
The closing exercises of the conven-
ton were impressive. The bishops,
attired in robes of Office and preceded
by Dr. Samuel Hart, secretary of the
bishops, and Rev. c. L. Hutchins, sec
rotary of the deputies, marched in
procession to the church. The bish-
ops We're seated on a platform inside
the chanCel and the prayer service
conducted by President Lindsey. The
triennial pastoral letter was read by
Bishop Dudley of Kentucky. The let
ter is very long and after the usual
congratulations on the result of the
convention and eXhortation to the
church membership, it charged that
anarchy is here as a legitimate off
spring of unbelief. The crime at
Buffaloo, a month ago, by which the
head of the nation was taken away,
was but the natural fruit of the tree
of God-defying denial. The great and
good president was slain by the spirit
of our age"
The letter calls upon citizens TO per
form their full civic duty, insisting
that by neglecting to do so they assist
in corruption and encourage lawless.

nounced by Bishop Tuttle Of Missouri,
and the convention adjourned sine

Der of cases and deaths from the
dread disease.
in Chicago says the weekly bull
Ietin of the health department, the
record of typhoid mortality for July,
August and September shows an in
crease of 273 per cent. over that OF
the first six months-that is, from 80
per cent. of tn total mortality be-
tween January l and June 80 to 3,2S
per cent of the total mortality De-
tween July l and September 80. The
average autumnal increase in this re-
gion is about 20 per cent, so that Chi
cago's full increase this year IS very
nearly four times greater than usual.
There is no obvious local cause
during the third quarter for this ex-
cessive increase; the public water
supply has averaged quite as good as
last year, when the death increase
was only 60 per cent. over the 6rst
six months rate. Except for the high

ELECTRIC DANGERS.
Baltimore Man Killed by Vagrant
Current.

SuIICnN.
Baltimore, oct. 1S.-MOrris Brod-
stein, % years old. of 1905 East Balti-
more street, stepped upon an iron
gutter plate in front of the Halliday
florists, which happened to be heavily
charged with electricity, and was in
stantly killed. At the same time
Abraham Shear, who was with Brod-
stein, received a terrible shock.
Two electric linemen went to the
roof of the Halliday building and soon
discovered the cause of all the trouble.
A six-inch galvanized iron smoke-pipe
runs up from Halliday's store to
about a foot above the tin roof. Over
the top of the pipe is a ventilator OF
the same material, and upon it rested
n feed wire that runs into the build
ing of the Hennegen-Bates company,
jewellers. 13 East Baltimore street.
This wire had come in contact with an
electric lighting wire of heavy voltage.
The current passed from the electric
light wire to the feed wire, thence to
the smokepipe, down in to the tin
roof to the rainspout running down the
front of the Halliday building, and
down it to the gutter plate that ex-
tended from the building wall to the
curb.

The total amount of state tax to be
raised next year is S2,257S54 as
against $1,345,570 in 1901, or an in
crease Of almost one million dollars
over this year This will be shown by
the state tax levy for 1902, which will
be sent out from the secretary Of
states Office within a few days. Be
cause of the increase in the valuation
Of all property in the state made by
the state board of assessment at its res
cent sitting, the rate of taxation is
only .00l57201, as against .002135S25
this year, or more than half mill less
than for 1907. While the amount that
will be raised for school purposes by
the one mill tax is $S06,2S4 greater
than for the previous year, owing TO
the great increase in the assessed val.
UatiOn, there is an increase in the
state tax of 100000 over and above
the one mill levy. That is, the total
amount Of taxes to be raised for the
year 1902, outside of the one mill tax
is 1921 $40, as against $715,570 for
1901. This increase is due, not to any
extra expense incurred in the actual
conduct of the state government, but
to some extra appropriations made for
educational purposes, such as addi
tons to the university fund income,
the normal fund income and to the aid
the state is now giving graded schools.
This can be readily understood from a
glance at the following table showing
the various items which were put into.
the state levy for 1901 and for 1902
University fund income-1901, $2GS,.
600; 1902, $2S9,OOO; increase, $4,000,

$4,000; 1902, $215,O0O; increase, $25,,

The money for free high schools
state aid for graded schools and the
interest on the state debt are usually
taken from the general fund, but when
the general fund is not sufficient to
carry them they are included in the
annual levy made by the secretary Of
state.
