House of Deputies Considers the New
Marriage Canon.

San Francisco, Oct 1o.--The triennial
convention of the Episcopal church Of
America accomplished much routine
work to- day, but made little progress
toward disposing Of the canon on mar
riage and divorce, which came up be-
fore a committee of the whole in the
house of deputies. The popular interest
in the subject was evidenced by the
crowded galleries, large majority of
the spectat ors being women, nearly all
of whom remained until the hour Of
adjournment. The discussion, however,
was of a purely technical character.
That the spirit of the Huntington
amendment to the constitution permit
ting modified forms of worship, still
lives despite defeat, was shown by the
presentation in the house of deputies
this morning Of a constitutional amend
ment couched in almost it's exact Ian
guage. The principal change was the
adoption of resolution that no form
of worship allowed shall be in conflict
with the canons of the church. 1t was
referred to a committee.
pev " Winchester Donald Of Nassa-
chusetts who presented the proposed
created quite a ensation
by declaring, in the course of his re-
marks, that he did not consider ordina-
ton necessary for celebrant of holy
communion.
The house of bishops devoted most
of the day to consideration of the quail
foations of the various candidates. who
are desirous of filling the vacant mis-
sionary bishoprics of the Philippines,
Porto Rico and Vieques, Hankow,
North Dakota and Olympia. No names
were announced.

Cause of Affliction from Which Many
Rostonians Are Suffering.

Boston, Oct. 10.-The complaint called
"Third-rail Eye" which has become
common since the elevated road began
operating, has been made subject of
Inquiry by the railroad commissioners
and to-day report upon 1t was made
public. The board also uses the term
"Third-rail Eye" to describe the pc
culiar injury sustained by hundreds of
peorle from minute steel particles
ground off rails and wheels. The in
jury causes acute pain and Is difficult
of treatment.
The boards expert. E. K. Turner,
finds that 80 per cent. of the falling
particles come from the wear of rails,
wheels and brake shoes and that the
remaining small percentage only can
be attributed to the third or conductor
rail and other causes. The falling of
more or less of such sparks from ele-
waited railroad has always been an ac
compa niment of their operation.

HOUSE ENTERED IN MILFORD
Quite Sum of Money and Jeweiry
Taken.

Milford, Conn. Oct. 10.-The resi-
dence of Elliot D. Clark was entered
this afternoon by a sneak thief and
quite a sum of money and jewelry was
carried away.

day, did not discover the robbery until
she went upstairs after dinner. Then
she discovered that every room in the
upner part of the house had been ran
sacked

up the veranda posts, removed win

rooms, as a window was found open in
one of the rooms.

Earlier Than Usual.

the excheuuer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach,
speaking at Oldham to-day, said he be-
