English Preachers Costume.

The Rev. Robert Stephen Hawkes.,
the Cornish poet and antiquary, who
died in 1875, wore crimson gloves and
vaGing boots up to the hip and was
sometimes seen riding on a mule in
a poncho, blanket with holes cut In
1t for his head and arms. He was
asked by woman about this gar
Ient and replied that it was the robe
of an Armenian archimandrite." His
ordinary clerical attire consisted of a
brown cassock with red buttons, grid
ed with cincture. This costume was
criticised at a ruri-decanal meeting
and he retorted hotly: AT all events.

waiter out of place or an unem-
ployed undertaken and that do scrup-
ulously abide by the injunction of the
seyenty-fourth canon of 1903"

DECIDES AGAINST SULLY.
Judge Holt Confirms Petition an
Bankruptcy Case.

Judge Holt IN the United States District Court.
yesterday overruled the demurrer interPosed by
Dos Passos Brothers in behalf of Daniel J.
Sully G. Co. against the involuntary petition in
bankruptcy filed against the firm by Stephen
NJ Weld & Co. Gwathmey & Co and other
creditors. and gave the defendants leave to
answer the amended petition within five days, on
payment Of costs. In the course Of his argu-
nent in support Of the demurrer, John r. Dos
Passes said:
7 viii show that the firm % Suy & Co. are not
responsible for this debt alleged in this petition. l
viii show that Suy q Co are not responsible Tor
the liberty Of saying, does not amount to a legal
claim under any law. The petitioners sold cotton
to Daniel J. Suy & Co for future delivery under
the rules OF the Cotton Exchange.
Goods sold, Mr.. Dos Passos said. implied
dinarily a contract; but where a future delivery
was intended it had not its usual significance
legally.
Judge Holt intimated that he did not think
the rules OF the Exchange were pleaded in the
petition. and suggested that Mr.. Dos Passes
confine himself to the allegations of the petition.
After Mr.. Dos PaSsos finished his argument the
Court said that he thought the language of the
petition sufficient TO set forth the act Of bank
ruptcy. and he thereupon overruled the demur-
rer.
Receivers Taft and Miller yesterday an
nounced that they had sold all except about
one hundred bales Of the spot cotton held in
warehouses for the bankrupt firm. Two thou
