POPULAR IN LONDON.
No Man Has More Friends Than
Bishop Wilmington Ingram.
Interesting Personality of the Young
English PreIate who Will Preach
the Coronation Sermon for
King Edward.

There are several eminent and dig
nitied English prelates who have not
yet recovered from the shock they sus-
tanned when the announcement was
made recently that Very Rev. Winning
ton Ingham-better known as the
''slum bishop"-had been selected by
King Edward to preach at his corona
ton.
There was a rather similar feeling
of astonishment in the same quarter
when, the post of bishop of London
having been made vacant by the death
of DR.. Creighton year ago, Ingham,
who was looked upon as a mere youth,
was named as his successor; for al
though the formal appointment was
as usual made by Lord Salisbury, it
was generally understood that the
king had expressed a decided wish in
the matter. At the time of his promo
ton to the bishopric of London, which
is one of the most important in the
Church of England, DR.. Ingram occu-
pied the post of suffragan bishop of
Stepney, the last of the several &C.
clesiastical positions which he has held
in the East end" and in discharging
the duties of which he endeared him
self as perhaps no other clergyman in
London to the wretched folks who live
there.
Stepney, like Bethnal Green, of
which DR.. Ingram formerly was rector,
and Spitalfelds, of which he once was
rural dean, is one of the poorest-and
iclledest-divisions of Whitechapel,
but DR.. Ingram was just as proud Of
his pensioners as if they had been
the greatest aristocrats in Mayfair.
He was not merely their bishop, he
was their friend; and nothing used to
delight him more than to be right
among them as man to man. Work

lantic cut. He had extended a palm,
In its broad hollow there lay a soy
ereign and a shilling.
The girl surveyed him with a swift,
cold pride of the well-bred English
woman. 1t collapsed before the
thunder of banging doors and the
shouts of porters-the train was al
most under way.
"A tritiing loan," pursued her res
cuer, nonchalantly. Il sail by the
Superbia, as presumably you do
you will repay me on rejoining your
friends. Say, look lively now" he
added to the collector.
That official, not being forbidden,
accepted the coins and began to
scribble a receipt-the whistle had
blown and the crowded special was
starting. At the extremity of the
platform he shut the door and passed
in the fimsy sheet by the window,
fumbling for the change.
20, keep the changed" said the
American, impatiently, and drew up
the pane as the train ran out of the
station.
Toward the incident thus conclud-
ed their fellow travellers had as
sumed peculiarly diverse degrees of
interest. One of the two, for there
were no more than a quartette in
the comfortable compartment-an
alert, middle-class matron with Eu-
ropean railway labels on sundry ar
ticles of Typographical merciless-
ly it's shy heroine. The other, a
stout, prosperous figure in an ample
ulster, dozed indifferently-his hands
thrust into fur-lined gloves, repos-
ing on his knee. Elise noticed that
he wore thick gold albert and a
fine Diamond pin.
AS the train settled to it's mo-
notonous clank and roar she bent
forward to the American-he was
young, well-featured enough to be
handsome, and extremely self-pos-
sessed.
Il am much obliged to YOU" she
said-the rattle of the coach wheels
making the remark sound subdued and
confidential; 81 can't think what has
happened to my purse"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1902-04-17

among the men and boys was his great
est hobby and he formed several so
cial clubs" that became rather famous
and, half the time, he was off on eX-
:ursions to the country or the sea-
shore with a grimy but eXultant con-
tingent of his young barbarians"
from Brick lane of Houndsditch, Civ
ing them, perhaps, the first glimpse
they ever had of the ocean or of green
fields.
He often held open-air services IN
the slums, notably in the large open
space in front of St. Luke's, Spital-
fields, almost across the road from the
entrance to Dorset street, where sew
raj of the Ripper" murders took
>lace, and which is known as the wick
eldest street in London" Ever since
he was raised to the dignity of the
bishop of London, at the request of the
poor people who are so fond of him
and so loath to give him up, the di-
vine, whose office entities him to sit
in the house of lords, made a visit to
the East side, and, standing in his
white surplice in the middle of big
crowd of shabby coster boys, factory
girls and mothers with unwashed ba-
bies in their arms, preached them a
sermon of which the lowest of them
could understand every word. He used
jestingly to tell his poor people" how
busy attending to his various paro-
chial duties kept him, and delighted
them by picturing himself hurrying to
an appointment on top of halfpenny
bus or tramcar, or eating his lunch
in a third-class carriage on the under
ground. In the course of little talk
which he gave at the opening of re
formed public house" in the East end
the other day, he said that the addi-
tional duties that had come to him
with his new position were so numer-
Gus that he had to set up a carriage,
so they would miss him from the bus
tops, but he promised that if any one
of them who saw him driving in his
new equipage would hail him and ex-
plain that he was one of his old friends
he would be glad to give him a lift.
He added that many East end saloons
had signs describing them as good
pull-up for carriers" and suggested
that over the reformed club" be
placed one saying "a good pull-up for
bishops"
1t is no wonder that DIR. Ingram has
been able to make even some of the
toughest citizens of Spitalfelds re-
spect and esteem him, for he is the
embodiment of muscular Christian
ity." His favorite recreations are not
chess and botany, but golf and BIZ
cycling and playing handball, or
"fves," as it is called in England. The
first sight that struck the eye on en-
tering the bishops former headquar-
tiers at "Amen court" near st. Paul's
cathedral, was a bundle of muddy golf
clubs and a tennis racquet, and at
historic Fulham palace, which is his
episcopal residence as bishop of Lon
don, DR.. Ingram has set aside large
room in the cellar to play "fveS" in.

A Noted knight TGmpIar
Owes His Health to Peruna.

Colonel T. P. Moody, a prominent
Knight Templar, is well known in every
city in the United States west of Buff
faIo, n. Y, as a jewelers. Auctioneer.
In the city of Chicago as prominent
lodge man, being a member of the X.
It's and also of the Masons. The cut
shows Colonel Moody in the costume
of the Oriental Consistory Masons,
32nd degree.
In a recent letter from 5000 Mich
igan avenue, Chicago, Ill, Mr.. Moody
says the following:
"FOr over twenty-five years I
suffered from Catarrh, and for
over ten years I suffered from
Catarrh of the stomach terribly.
"IhaVe taken all kinds of medi-
CiHeS and have been treated by
all kinds of doctors, as thousands
of my acquaintanCes are aware
in different parts of the United
States, where have travelled, but
my relief was only temporary,
until a little over a year ago I
started TO take Peruna, and at the
present time am better than /
have been for twenty years.
1.-THE soreness has left my Sfon-
aCh entirely and am free from
indigestion anddySpepsia and will
say to all who are troubled with
Catarrh or stomach trouble of any
kind, don't put il off and suffer,
but begin TO take Peruna right
away, and keep ii up until you
are cured, as you surely viii be if
you PerSeVere.
'My wife, as many in the southwest
can say, was troubled with a bad
cough and bronchial trouble, and doc
tors all over the country gave her up
to die, as they could do nothing more
for her. She began taking Peruna with
the result that she is better now than
she has been in years, and her cough
has almost left her entirely. The sore
ness has left her lungs and she is as
well as she ever was in her life, with
thanks, as she says, to Peruna. Yours
very truly, 7. ?. Moody.
Catarrh in its various forms is rapid
ly becoming a general curse. An I'M
doubted remedy has been discovered
by DR.. Hartman. This remedy has
been thoroughly tested during the
past forty years. Prominent men have
come to know of its virtues, and are
making public utterances on the sub
ject. TO save the country we must
save the people. To save the people we
must protect them from disease. The
| disease that is at once the most preva-
lent and stubborn of cure is catarrh.
IT one were to make a list of the diff
ferent names that have been applied
to catarrh in different locations and
organs, the result would be astonish-
ing. We have often published partial
list of these names, and the surprise

n
and l had it a moment ago!"
The fresh young lips of the speak
er had turned suddenly pale, and
pair of hazel eyes gained a startled
glow that heightened their grave,
fawnlike pathos. Their owners
gloved fingers fluttered from a muff-
bag to a parcel of wraps, from that
to the pockets of her small, smart
coat and neat cloth skirt, then back
again to the silken interior of the
muffbag.
The collector on the step of the
second-class compartment of the
English train, as if to avoid adding
to her embarrassed confusion, leant
out casually to glance up and down
the line of vestibuled coaches that
composed the American special. The
keen breath of a frost-bound morn
ing sharpened the air under the
great arch of the express departure
platform at Euston, and to its glass
span there assembled from $50

characteristic information of the true
Yankee, the American from the
northeastern states.
Permit me- it said, ''to offer a
practical suggestion-two practical
