NAY STOP TALBOT CASE
DENY THE PRESENTMENT.
Hen Whose Names Dire ON 1t Did
Not Understand.

Philadelphia, Dec. 29.-Despatches from Hunt
ingdon Penn. tonight state that some OF the
Huntingdon signers to the presentment have
repudiated the presentment, and say that 1t was
never their intention to sign a paper of the
character that has appeared in the press. If
this be true. the proceedings must be dropped. as
presentment of the character made against the
Bishop must contain the names of at least three
persons from the diocese in which the accused
bishop lives.
1t Is said the paper signed by the Hunt
ingdon men under a misapprehension, they be-
lieving that they assisting in closing long
controversy and not in starting a proceeding in
which their Bishop to be brought to trial
When ]. Frederick Jenkinson was told of the
information received from Huntingdon tonight
he said that the names of the Huntingdon men
were signed at the end of the original present
ment. The names of the Philadelphia signers
he said were the same sheet which the
names of the Huntingdon presenters appeared.
He added that he has personal letter from one
of the signers in which he says he pleased
to attach his name to the document.
A dispatch from Huntingdon tonight quotes
John Langdon, one of the signers follows:
1 did not know until this morning that my
name was connected with the charges. 1t is
outrage. for did not know anything about the
matter except what heard have never read
the presentment. and could not tell one of the
charges or specifications.
Interest in the Talbot case to-day
largely centred in the question to whether
the proceedings brought by DR.. Irvine will be
uncanonical after the first of the year The
point raised by DR.. Fulton of the Church Stand
ard that the Board of Inquiry will have no
power TO proceed because the canon under which
the board was named will be superseded by
new canon on January l, discussed by law
clo
opinion prevails
DR.. Irvine. when asked what effect the new
canon would have on the Proceedings against
Bishop Talbot, said
IF a presentment were issued against me, L
know what would do. would not take ad-
vantage Of any techncality. but would demand
that the hearing be continued We in the Church
cannot take advantage of technicalties, as is
done in civil and criminal courts
DR.. Irvine then asked if he thought that
his copy of Bishop Talbot's letter to DR.. Up
john would be admitted as evidence, and If
there was any doubt as to whether it was an
absolutely correct copy inasmuch the origin
al is said to have been destroyed.
There will be no real necessity of my copy
being sumitted to the committee" he said but
a matter of fact my copy is identical even
to the punctuation. 1t is exact reproduce

Fall River. Mass. Dec 29.-Renewed interest In
the great cotton mill strike. which has been in ex-

A ROLL OF BUTTER.
Why 1t Was Exchanged and What Be-
came of 1t.

came of 1t.
The little town of Mercer boasts
a greengrocer with all the wisdom
of Solomon, reports the Philadel-
phia Ledger. The other day coun-
try woman, famous the country over
for the quality Of her butter, called
on this old Silas Treeves with the
odd request that he take five
pound roll of her making, giving
her in place of cash an equal amount
of butter from his own stock
Knowing, as he did, that her butter
was better than any he had ever
handled and knowing, too, that she
knew that it was, the old fellow be-
came somewhat suspicious and ques-
toned the woman's motive.
"Well, you see," she said finally,
"when | come to do the churnin'
this week | found mouse drowned
in the cream, and somehow our
folks feel kind O otfish about eatin'
this here butter"
"And do you expect me to sell
that kind of butter to my custom
ers?"
"Now, look here, Silas Treeyes,"
said the old woman, 'smy buffers
better'n any your customers ever
gets, and as for the mouse well,
what they don't know won't hurt
them
The old man took the butter and
weighed it, went to his cellar and
after little while returned with
roll of a somewhat different shape,
but very much the same general APP
,pearance, and, this being satisfac-
tory to his customer, she took it and
went out.
About week later the country
woman happened in again.
'sHow'd YOU like the butter 2" ask
ed the old philosopher.
''Eirst rate replied the woman.
'sFolks eat it !"
~Yep."
Swell. maybe Won was right. after
all, about what people don't know
