IN HOTEL LoBBIEs.
Murray EIsesed RIshop.

The election of the Rev John O. Murray to the bishopric of the Protestant Episeo- pal church diocese of Mississippi Is In the nature of a surprise. His friends and ad- mirers In Alabama will recognize at once the fitness of the selection and all the clergy and lalty of Mississippi who know anything about the bishop elect will re- joice in the choice of the electors. But 1t is a surprise because the Rev. Tho. Brstton of Raleigh. N. C.. was supposed to be the only candidate before the coun- ell. One other name had been mentioned but that name was withdrawn and up to yesterday Mr Murray was not eonsid- cred so far as the press dispatches in dcated
 ' "The council acted wisely" said Bir- mingham man last night. There is no better material for the Episcopate in the United States than MT. Murray. He com pines nearly all of the essentials.
 Tn the first place he has great common sense. In the next place he is success full business man. Tn the third place he is a strong preacher, and last but not least he is a gentleman of engaging per sonality."
 Mir. Murray was rector of the Church of the Advent in Birmingham for seven years, and only left here last month to become rector of St. Mehaels and All Angels Baltimore. The question is. will Mir Murray accept the Mississippi bish- oprc?
 When the council of Alabama met to elect a successor to the late Bishop Wil- mer MT. Murray was regarded as a strong candidate When Bishop BeelSwith was elected to succeed the late Bishop Barnwell MT. Murray had a number of ardent supporters for the position. At that time he had about practically made up his mind to decline, it is believed, in the event of his election He said he would rather be rector of the Advent than to be bishop. And now he has even a wider field of usefulness in Baltimore than he had in Birmingham. Sull, he may be prevailed upon to accept the bishopric of Mississippi. Mississippi would be In hard luck" as the saying goes If MT. Murray should decline. The Rev. Arthur Lloyd, who was elected bishop some weeks ago, refused to accept

AFTERMATH.
By Longfellow.

By Longfellow. When the summer fields are mown, When the birds are fiedged and flown,
 And the dry leaves strew the path; With the falling of the snow, With the cawing of the crow, Once again the fields we mow
 And gather in the aftermath. Not the sweet, new grass with f1owers Is this harvesting of ours;
 Not the upland clover bioom But the rowen mixed with weeds, Tangled tufts from marsh and meads,
 In the silence and the gloom.

Crowned Heads and the Pope.

'T am glad to see that King Edward paid no attention to the church associa- ton which passed resolutions protesting against his purpose to call on Pope Leo," remarked broad-minded man.
 Some of the English Protestants are extremely bigoted when 1t comes to the question of the Catholic church. The Germans are just the reverse. Emperor William called on the pope several years ago and is arranging to pay him another visit, and the Lutherans make no ad- verse comment. The ear, who Is the head of the Russian church and has no connection with the Roman Catholic church. is arranging to call on the pope. and the Russians enter no protest. But the English non-C Cptholics-som of them, at least-think that their king has com- mtted an unpardonable offense.

A Bows Victory.

Crossroads, Tenn, Sept. 14th.-Or-
bra Young, the ten-year-old son OF Les
ter Young of this place, is a bright
boy, and one who is very well liked
by all who know him.
For some years Orbra has suffered a
great deal with form of Kidney Trou-
BILE which was very annoying, and
which made him miserable all the
time. He had to get up three or four
times every night, almost all his life.
His father heard of a remedy called
Dodds Kidney Pills, and bought some
for the little fellow with the result
that he is now completely cured of
the Old trouble. He says:
''Dodd's Kidney Pills soon gave me
great relief, and now can sleep all
night without having to get up. We
will always praise Dodd's Kidney
Pills"
There are many children suffering
from Kidney and Urinary troubles.
These disorders should be promptly
corrected. Dodd's Kidney Pills is a
safe and sure remedy for all such de-
rangements
Master Orbra Young conquered his
troubles and made well boy of him
self by using Dodd's Kidney Pills and
any one may do the same by the same
means.
Parents should sec to 1t tina. their
children are given a fair chance in
life, and there is nothing that can
undermine the health Of a growing
child as much as Kidney and Urinary
arrangements.
