Emolnments of an EccIesiastfc.

The Bishop of London's salary is
$4,000 a year. and the rates, taxes.
insurance, and maintenance Of his
two large residences can scarcely be
less than fifteen per cent. on that
sum, so that his income is at once
reduced to S42,500. Few probably real
ize the expense of bishop in the. first
year. Fees, payments for the grni-
ture of the palace, and a variety OF
other costs and charges leave COM
paratively small margin for other ex-
penses. The late Bishop Villiers was
nearly ruined by what was deemed eX-
traordinary good fortune.

Comic Cause of Decoration.

A concierge named Falempin has
Just been decorated under comical cir
cumstances. His landlord, IN abseht-

notebook, "Falempin- Gordon" this be-

put on the janitor's lodge, whereby
the front door is opened. One day
the deputy became minister, and, hap
pening to refer to his notebook. came
across the mysterious entry. He took
it to be a reminder to grant q decora-
ton. That is why the concierge is
now the proud possessor of the aca-

Grewsome Paris Relics.

A still lingering souvenir of the days
of the Revolution guillotine is about
to be uprooted. The five stone slabs
so often saturated in human blood
which are fixed in the pavement in
front of the old condemned cells at
the Place de Ia Roquette, Paris, are
to be taken up by the street PAYERS,
owing to the construction of 4 new
street which is to cut through the plot
of land on which the prison formerly
stood.
These horribly historic stones are to
be transported to the Carnavalet Mu-
scum, if the authorizes will accept so
srewsome a gift.-Paris Messenger.

1t was solely to pay his respects to
Mrs. Mckinley that the Vice-President
made his visit to the Milburn house,
and although nearly all the members
of the Cabinet were there when he
arrived it was only as private citizens
mourning for a common friend that
they met.
The stay there was short, and when
Mr.. Roosevelt started back to the Will

the Cabinet members, who were to
take part in the ceremony of admin

Albany. n. Y-Away on the top OF
Mount Marcy, attired in full hunting
costume and with his gun slung over
his shoulder, Theodore Roosevelt was
found, and informed by n hagGard
travel-stained guide that he was
needed in Buffalo Immediately.
That word of command was sufhclent
to tell him what the weary messen-
ger could not.
When news reached North Creek
that Roosevelt's presence was demand
ell in Buffalo because of the serious
turn that had been taken in the con-
dition Of the President, word immed-
lately was sent to the lower CLUB
house, and thence to the upper, ten
miles further in the mountains.
Every guide available, and every
club member at once started out IN
search that seemed hopeless. so great
was the extent Of territory to be COW
cred. All were armed with guns and
pistols, which they fired off at inter-
walls to attract attention. Thus, with
the cracking Of pistols and the heav-
ier reports of shotguns and the hal
loaing of Roosevelt! Roosevelt!
Roosevcltw there began a remarkable
hunt for the Vice-President to inform
him that the head Of the Nation was.

About 5 o'clock p. m, an old guide,
found Roosevelt resting with his COM
panions and counting their game. The

many times. He saved his lungs and
ammunition until he began the long,
weary ascent of Mount Marcy.
For long time nothing but echoes
answered to Roosevelt! Roosevelt!

mockingly from the mountainside.
Then, as he neared the top, there
came from afar faint "I3alloaw
Then his shots met answering firing
and the lost was found, and the fate
full message delivered to white
Tipped hunter. Then, forgetting all
fatigue, Roosevelt and the guides
started on a swinging walk to the up
per club house, ten miles away.
The first message Roosevelt received
gave no details, except that ne was
wanted. When he reached the upper
club house, stained and worn, with
even the hardy guides tagging far be-
hind, messages were there awaiting
him, and informing him that McKin-
ley was dying. They had been brought
by dripping horses urged to dead run
for ten miles from the lower club
hn1se which ic tho only one in direct
communication with the outer world.
This was shortly before 10 p. N.
Again the foam-fecked hOrsees were
lashed into a gallop, where fair roads
permitted. and there began the wild
ride for the lower club house, which
was not reached until after midnight.
More urgent messages awaited Roose-
welt there. The worn out horses were
changed for Il swift, fresh team, and
with good driver he started on the
weary drive Of thirty-five miles from
the club house to North Greek.

time Mr.. Roosevelt talked in whispers
with Secretary Root, his arm over the

the Vice-PreSident stood motiOnleSS by
