Keeping the Bishop Humble.

From the New York Times.
 Bishop F. S. Lines of Newark while a guest of the Church club of New York told this story to illustrate, as he said, the effort on the part of the clergy to keep the bishops humble.
 T was over in New York the other day" said the bishop, and met on the street young clergyman whom I had known in New England some time ago, most estimable young man, but one who is inclined to take life very seri- ously. How do you do. J.? said l. I am very glad to see you. Where are you located now?
 I am in the Tombs, replied J.
 How fortunate 1t is that they let you out for day so that I could have the pleasure of seeing you,'
 Oh, not exactly that, you know I had the choice of the chaplaincy of the Tombs or q Parish in Newark, and I chose the Tombs.' "

At covent Garden.

Some of the model" performances of Wagner's operas, under Dr. Richter, pro- jected for this summer at Convent Gar den, will be given before the regular season opens, starting somewhere about April IS, and will thus form the subject of a special subscription, in the manner which proved so successful last year. There will be no cycles of the Ring" of which the faithful will next summer have enough at Bayreuth and at Munich; but Dr. Richeter is to have carte blanche as to the rehearsas of "Tristan," Die Mestersinger," "Lohengrin," and perhaps another opera. so that he will have a chance of recalling some of the splendid performances which he directed at Drury Lane twenty-two years ago.

BIC STORM SWEEPS
THE EAST
New York Cut Off From South
and West by a Fierce
Hurricane

New York, Nov. 13-New York is en-
tirely cut off from the south and west to-
night by fierce hurricane, accompanied
by rain and snow, which is sweeping the
Atlantic coast. Starting from Florida last
night, the storm of wind and rain has
come up the coast with almost cyclonic
speed.
Rain began falling In New York at a.
M, and early In the morning changed to
wet snow. The wind, which had been
blowing moderately, veered to the south
east, and shortly assumed hurricane pro-
portions. At o'clock tonight the local
weather bureau noted a velocity of forty
two miles at $50 o'clock. That speed kepv
up for several hours. At 10 o'clock the
storm center was at Block Island where
the barometer showed a pressure of 2S.62
inches with the wind blowing seventy-six
miles an hour. At Nantucket the barom-
eter was a trife higher, and the wind
sixty miles.

up more effectively tonight than at any
other time since the blizzard of 1888. The
Western Union and telegraph companies
have no direct communication with cities
farther south than Baltimore, and all
western points are cut off The Postal
has been cabling some of its most urgent
messages to Canso. N. s., from which
point they are wired to Montreal and
thence forwarded to Chicago over the
Canadian Pacific wires.
Late In the afternoon II was reported
that over one hundred poles along the
Erie railway had gone down. putting the
New York Buffalo Chicago wires by thar
route completely out of service. Re-
course for short time was taken to wires
via Albany and Syracuse. but a few
hours afterward the pressure of ice on the
wires carried them. poles and all. to the
ground outside of Poughkeepsie thereby
effectively closing the service. The West
ern Union was able to keep open the way
to Baltimore, Philadelphia and most
places in New Jersey. but business for
other points. save New England. was
only accepted subject to delay.
Communication between New York and
Boston over all lines was uninterrupted.
The telegraph officials are unable to state
the damage until they can communicate
with the territories affected. Every ef-
fort is being made tonight to make re-
pairs so that business will be open TO-
morrow. Special trains were engaged on
most OF the roads running out of Jersey
City and Hoboken and dispatched late
this afternoon laden with wire-repairing
gangs.
At midnight the local weather bureau
said l.4s inches of rain and melted snow
had fallen. 1t was predicted that the
storm would be centered off the provinces
tomorrow, thence passing out to sea.

Reforms in Russia

ST. Petersburg. Nov. 13-Russia is
facing a great internal crisis, which IN
the minds of intelligent Russians over
shadows in Importance all questions re-
and liberal movement seems not only un-
der way, but is gaining momentum daily,
and the best feature of it is that It is
entirely divorced from any radical revo-
lutionary propaganda Prince Sviatopolk
Mirsky, the minister of the interior, has
given the movement impetus, but has
done so against the most powerful infu-
ences, and behind the scenes a bitter
struggle is waging for imperial support
During the coming week the first test of
strength is likely to occur, the result OF
which may mean much for the history
Of Russia
The policy of reaction. which had grown
steadily since the accession of Alexander
III, seemed suddenly to lose its main
bulwark when Minister Plehwe fell With
the advent of Prince sviatopolk Mirsky
and his frank appeal for a policy of mu-
tual confidence between government and
people a tremendous liberal rebound oc-
CURED. raising, perhaps unjustifiably,
high hopes and aspirations.
An American enjoying absolute politi-
cal freedom can hardly appreciate the
full significance of the changes that have
occurred since Prince Sviatopolk Mirsky's
Inauguration in a land of absolutism. The
Russian policy as regards Finland If not
reversed, has been greatly ameliorated,
and the Finnish national Diet will meet
next month. Only yesterday prominent
Finlanders who were exiled under the
Plehwe regime received permission to re-
turn to their own country or to go abroad
If they desired to do so.
The oppressive activity of the police
throughout the empire has been largely
relaxed; banishment by administrative or
der has been abolished; hundreds of po-
litical prisoners exiled to Siberia have
been recalled; the Jews have received as
day; the doors have been thrown open at
two of the biggest trials proceeding In
Russia (the Schaumann treason trial and
the Jewish trial at GobeD and the method
OF treating student demonstrations has
been radically changed Persuasion is be-
ing substituted for Cossack charges
But nowhere are the changes so marked
as in the matter OF the press. After years
of the strictest censorship Russian papers
last fortnight and were remarkably plain
spoken in the discussion of internal ar
fairs. and especially now the fortheom-
ing meeting of Zemstvo presidents All
accounts of the Schaumann and GobeI
trials have been printed and even partic-
ulars of student demonstrations, with
resolutions offered at the polytechnic IN
stitute declaring that what was wanted
was not confidence. but an end of the war
tional assembly. Such an unprecedenteo
publication made the Russian public rub
it's eyes in amazement.
Prince Ouktomsky editor OF the viod D

memory had Russian newspapers been al
lowed such libertes yet these things had
been done quietly and without public
proclamation. As rule, he said, the
laws had not been modified

In the rear of the house with the inten-
ton of killing the mayor, as well as

Duluth, Mimi, Nov. 13-John Murphy
became lost in the woods thirty miles
north of Duluth and was discovered yes
terday by party of hunters, nearly dead
from hunger and with hands and feet so
badly frost bitten that they may all have
to be amputated. He was brought at
once to the Duluth hospital, and II is
not sure that he will survive. Murphy
was without a gun or matches in the
woods. His mind has become deranged
through terror and hardships, though this
may be temporary. Murphy evidently
was pursued by wolves for his mind runs
to that subject, and he stillfears that he
will be killed by these animals.
