FOR a CRIME IN A PRISON.
Convict to Be Tried for Attacking q
Deputy Warden.

Leavenworth. Dec. Z9.-Sheriff Mey-
ers of this county visited the Kansas
penitentiary last evening and served a
warrant on Mulligan McNulty, a con-
vict charging him with assault with
intent to kill. McNulty tried to cut
the throat of W. A Thompson, dep
uty warden, December II, 1899. The
prisoners were at breakfast when Nc
Nulty noticed Thompson standing out
side the door with his back to them
Taking a dull case knife, McNulty
slipped up on Thompson, seized him
and slashed him across the throat and
chin. Only the dullness of the knife
saved Thompson.
McNulty's time does not expire until
August, 1906 but he will be tried now,
before the witnesses die or leave Nc
Nulty is serving his fourth sentence.
At present he is in prison for ten
years for larceny and burglary.

lists in the Ring.
In Their Former Bont the
Referee Called 1t a Draw.

San Francisco, Dec. 29.-Everything of
a preliminary character has been set
tied for the fight tonight between Young
Corbett and Eddie Hanlon, the aspirant
for championship honors. 1t was an
nounced at Corbett's training quarters
today that the Denverite is down to
weight and that there is no possibility
of him tipping over 129 pounds at
weighing in time. He is pronounced to
be perfectly fit and will not have the
excuse to offer this time of lack of con-
dition preventing his squelching Han
Ions ambition as it did at their pre-
vious meeting. At that time the cham
pion put a low estimate on the ability
of the little westerner and sighted his
training to such an extent that he bare
ly pulled out of the encounter with
draw decision. Hanlon is a lad of
steady habits and consequently always
in fair trim. and as he does his training
conscientiously, there is always good re-
ports from his camp.

DIOCESAN CONVENTION,
EPISCOPAL DELEGATES VOTE
 NOT TO CHANGE NAME.

Bishop Brewster Favors a New Desisna-
 ton but Votes Against she Idea-Rev.
 Stewart Means Trenches Morning Scr.
 mOn-Many New Haven Representa-.
 lives nt Meridsn Session.
 About 400 clergy and lay delegates as- sembled in Meriden yesterday at the annual Episcopal convention of the dio- cese of Connecticut. The morning ses" sion opened with holy communion given by Bishop Brewster at o'clock.
 The Rev. Stewart Means, rector of St, Johns church of this city. preached the morning sermon. In part he said:
 Place and power. praise and blame, what are they? There is only one place a Christian minister can crave, and that is the heart of a man; there is only one power that he can wish, and that is to turn men to Christ and open the souls to His blessed presence. The only praise that lasts, and does 4kOL AlAL II u CtS4ISSS 10 4I4o oA4AAAS way died for us, and the only blame we need to fear is the sad reproach of His unchanging tenderness"
 It was nearly noon before Bishop Brewster commenced his annual ad- dress. He discussed the proposed change in the name of the church. He said in part:
 Tt is to my mind clear that no change in the title ought to be deter mined upon until it is evident that the change is to be effected with some thing like unanimity.
 Twenty years ago. in the general convention of 1883. I stood up in the house of deputies with a very small minority to cast my vote in favor of striking from the title of the prayer book the words Protestant Episcopal have seen no reason to change my ] mind.
 The great difficulty in my mind re- garding the change of the present ti- tie lies in the second question; What is to be substantiated therefor? There has been much advocacy of the name | American Catholic This name might seem to be large enough. It is a question, however, whether its adop- ton would serve the purpose for which it is desired. A body of Chris tians, small in numbers, but as regards tenets and ritual exceedingly interest ing, has for some time called itself the Catholic Apostolic church. I doubt whether that name has attract ed any appreclable degree of attention to it's claims and hopes. To me it seems likely that the proposed title, if it were to be now adopted, would be by most people either ignored or else misunderstood to be an imitation ot the name Roman Catholic"
 1 When the convention assembled af- ter dinner, the first business was the report of the committee on change of name, as pointed out in the address of Bishop Brewster. The committees report was that a change of name at this time would be inexpedient, and the report was adopted by the convention.
 The New Haven clergy who attended follow: E. H. Mariett, G. B. Morgan, F. M. Burgess, F. R. Sanford, c. R. Phillips. J. F. Sexton, Stewart Means A. P. Stokes, Robert Bell, W. A, Beardsley, F. ". Baker, D. D.. c. O. Scoville, W. P. Downes, G. L. Parker J H. Jackson.

pregnation by absorption, the hegonias were placed in a separate bed, and the hordes of Philistnes in the shape of scores of parasites were let loose upon them.
 They resisted the attacks perfectly, showing the beneficial results of the new kind of vaccination for plants. One can imagine the morning gossip of two old sunfiower ladies across the back yard fence during parasite scare.
 Good morning. Have you heard that the parasites have struck the gar den of -he Joneses in the very next block? Isn't it dreadful?''
 "Yes, it makes life scarcely worth liv- ing to be in such constant dread of the cinera plague all the time. Have you been vaccinated?"
 "No," airily and disdainfully replies the neighbor. q don't believe in these new fangled vaccine notions. I'll live and die the way my grandmothers have done before me without getting the sap of those awful fungi in my veins. Have you been?"
 Yves falters the other, sheepishly, turning her glowing face away. "A cousin of mine who lives in the green house laboratory of >hat queer man down street was so enthusiastic over his vaccine ideas when she came back that she persuaded all of us to be vac cinated, too, by him. think it's better to be on the safe side, anyway.
