Poor Impression at Duluth.
Special to The Journal.
DULUTH, MINN.-Bishop Potter Of
the Episcopal diocese of New York
passes here now under the soubriquet of
Brown Bread Potter and all on ac-
count Of his famous lecture here last
week. mi- .~

local renown. The good bishop came all
the way from New York in j. P. Nor
CAMS private car and the next day turned
round and went back again. But he did
not go until he had paid back to the lee
ture bureau and to charity the $3.50 fee
that had been paid him the night before.

You have ever eaten it'--and he pro-
ceeded to tell how it was made. The
calm assumption that Duluth people never
get out Of their backwoods was very
amusing here.
Inc evening OF the lecture was the most
unpleasant Of the year, but Bishop Pot

leading literary and cultured people.
