BISHOP HURST DEAD
Distinguished Churohman
Passes to the Great Beyond.
RESULT OF PARALYSIS
FOR YEARS THE CHANCELLOR OF
AMERICAN UNIVERSITY.
Was Born in Maryland and Studied
Theology in Germany-Sketch
of His Career.

John Fletcher Hurst, bishop and one or
the most widely known and distinguished
representatives of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. died at his home, 1907 Connecticut
avenue at 1910 o'clock last night. The
venerable prelate's son, Lieut. Paul Hurst,
u. S. A. and his daughter, Miss Ellen
Hurst were at the bedside when the end
came. The death of Bishop Hurst was the
result of long ill health, which for the past
two years has compelled him to relinquish
one by one his important duties In his
church and retire, suffering from paralysis
to calmly await his end. For the past week
it has been known that the condition of the
sick man such that his death might
be expected at almost any moment, and his
house has been visited by hundreds of peo-
pie of all walks of life anxiously inquiring
about his condition
His Wishes Regarding Funeral.
Bishop Hurst made partial arrangements
for his funeral himself. He always ex-
pressed the wish that on his death Bishop
Charles H. Fowler of Buffalo, N. Y, should
preach the funeral sermon, and that Bishop
McCabe of Omaha. Neb., should assist him.
The bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
Church have been in Semi-annual conven-
ton at Meadeville, Pa, since the middle of
last week, and it is expected that they will
adjourn today. Both Bishops Fowler and
McCabe have been attending the conven
ton. but the former left Meadevile Satur-
day for Harrisburg, and up to late hour
this afternoon had not been located.
The arrangements for the funeral have
progressed somewhat, however, and those
in charge are able to state that the serv-
ices will be held Wednesday or Thursday at
the Metropolitan M. E. Church Bishops
Fowler and McCabe will conduct the Serv-
ices. and the interment will take place at
Rock Creek cemetery.
A long list of pallbearers, honorary and
active, is being prepared. and will be given
out tomorrow Wednesday.
Mr.. John l.. Hurst of Denver, Colo,
son of the dead bishop, has been notified of
his fathers death, and is his way to
this city. Mr.. Carl Bailey Hurst, another
son, is consul general of the United States
at Vienna. He has also been notified OF
the death.
Sketch of His Career.
John Fletcher Hurst was born near
Salem, Dorchester county, Nd August II,
1894. He attended school at Cambridge,
Md, until 1880. when he went to Dickinson
College, Carlisle, Pa. where he graduated
in 1854. After teaching the ancient lam
guages for two years in Hedding Insti-
tute, Ashland. N. Y. he studied theology

Elected a Bishop.

In 1880 he was elected and consecrated
bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
and has presided once or more over nearly
Episcopal Church. He resided in Des
Moines. Iowa. from 1880 to 1894: in Buffalo,
N. Y. from 1884 to 1888. and has lived in
Washington since 1888. He visited India
and presided at the conferences there, and
also in Europe in 1SS4-S5 and in 1887 went
to Mexico and presided at that conference
In Washington there was pressed upon
him from many directions the duty of lead
ing in the foundation of a great Christian
university at the capital of the nation,
which might avail itself of all the accu-
mulating facilities for professional schools
for the training Of specialists and for orig
inal research. Already his wise leadership
Is being rewarded with encouraging prog
ress and indications Of success He was
elected chancellor of the American Univer-
sity on May %. 1891 Because of Ill health
he resigned December 10. 1902. on which
date he was made chancellor emeritus
Meanwhile, amid the duties of the pro-
fessorship, the presidency, the episcopacy
and the CHARACTERISTIC, he has translated
and written a large number of books be-
sides contributing largely to religious pc
riodicals. The names of his books and the
dates OF their publication will give some
little Idea of the range and amount of his
literary productions.
His TRANSACTIONS are: Hagenbach's His
tory of the Church In the Eighteenth and
Nineteenth Centuries 1863; Van Oosterzee's
Apologetical Lectures on Johns Gospel
Edinburgh, 1869. and Lange's Comment
airy on Romans, 1870, and he was the author
of many books.

BALTIMORE, Nd, May 4.-The most
important mayoralty election in the history
of this city will be held tomorrow The
result. no matter which party is success
full, will be far-reaching in its effects
throughout the state and will directly con-
Germ the political fortunes of Senator Louis
E. McComas and Senator Arthur P. Cor
man.
The campaign has been a clean one. Rep
resentative Frank c. Wachter. the republi-
can nominee, has made a vigorous per-
sonal canvass, delivering three or four ad-
dresses at as many meetings each night
for the past month. States Attorney Rob
ert M. McLane, the democratic candidate,
has pursued an equally aggressive personal
campaign, speaking in three or four wards
each night The republican campaign cry
has been against Rasinism and bossism,
and the democratic spellbinders have In
weighed against negro domination. Other
wise the candidates stand upon the same
platform-public improvements and a bust
ness administration.
Representative Wachter's election would
be tremendous blow to Senator McComas
aspirations to succeed himself. and would
seem to presage almost certain defeat for
Marylands senior senator. A powerful
combination has been formed against Sena-
tor McComas. 1t includes former Gov.
Lloyd Lowndes, Representatives Wachter,
Mudd and Jackson, and former Postmaster
General James A. Gary, all of whom have
more or less substantial grievances against
Mr.. McComas. Former Senator Wellington
can also be relied upon to cast his influence
against Mr.. McComas for all it Is worth.
This combination will have two shots at
Senator McCOmas. First, they will use
every endeavor to nominate candidates of
their own way of thinking for the legisla-
ture, and second, some of them, at least
Messrs. Mudd and Wellington, will knife
McComas men in their sections should
such be nominated. In defeating McComas
men for the Legislature they would, of
course, have the cheerful cooperation of
the democrats.

Bishop Hurst.

in the German universities of Halle and
Heidelberg in 1898. Returning to
America he joined the Newark conference
in 1853, and for eight years filled the pas
toral Office in New Jersey and on Staten
Island. Elected professor of theology in
the Mission Institute for the training of
ministers for the work in Germany, he
crossed the ocean again, and during 1856
90 he taught in Bremen, and in the years
1901 at Frankfort-on-the-M Main, whittier
the Institution was removed under the name
of the Martin Mission Institute.
During these five years of teaching in
Germany, he visited all the leading Euro
pean countries. and in 1870 made a tour of
the holy land and Syria In the same year,
the chair of historical theology in the
Drew Theological Seminary made va
cant by the death of DR.. B. H. Nadal and
Professor Hurst was elected to and ac-
cepted the chair of ecclesiastical history.
In the great financial panic that followed,
Mr.. Daniel Drew failed. and with that
failure went the entire endowment of the
seminary but President Hurst with rare
skill and indomitable courage and patience
raised sufficient endowment to put the in
stitution on it's feet again and equip it
for its work.

Prussian House of Lords Has an Un-
 usually Interesting Session.
 Berlin. May 1.-The Prussian House of Lords whose proceedings are unusually somnolent and uninteresting, was en- livened today by resolution from the conservatives asking Chancellor von Bue- low to use his influence to bring about the denunciation of commercial treaties and all treaties giving the most favored nation treatment, that can be denounced immediately. After the presentation of the resolution which greatly surprised the ministers. the latter hastily withdrew so as to avoid participating in the debate on the subject. The discussion assumed an unusually stormy character.
 Count won Mirbach explained that the resolution was designed to strengthen the hand of the Government.
 Baron von Lucius, formerly Minister of Agriculture, opposed the resolution, which. he said, looked like a vote of lack of confidence in the Government and as- serted that 1t was undignified for the House Of Lords to pass resolution which the Government must perhaps disregard.
 Burgomaster Becker of Cologne, and Burgomaster Bender of Breslau, spoke against the resolution. which was eventu- ally passed by a large majority The Diet then adjourned for the summer va- cation.
