yelt by committee of the congress. The

discussion, in which many of the moss
prominent foreign delegates participated
The deliberative proceedings Of the
day took on an added interest from the
fact that leading Hindoo, Baba Bhar-
All, was introduced to speak as the rep
resantative Of his country. The most
intense applause that has been evoked
thus far during the convention greeted
the HindOo, who dressed in the costume
of his people delivered a passionate
speech in excellent English, denouncing
on the one hand the attempt Of Chris
tianity to thrust Christianity upon India

Massachusetts, Politics.

Boston, Oct. 6.-0n the eve of the
State conventions of the two large polit-
zeal parties to be held here tomorrow,
unusual interest is manifested by the
politicians on either side. Reversing the
usual order of things the republican con-
vention promises to be anything but
harmonious, while the democratic con-
'ention will, unless all signs fail, be
serener The democratic State ticket
will be headed by Hon. William l..
Douglass, for Governor, and John @.
Crosby, for Lieutenant Governor. In
the republican State convention con-
test on the question of Reciprocity is
freely predicted. The republican ticket
will be headed by Governor Bates and
Lieutenant Governor Guild, who will be
renOminated.

The Georgia Election.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 6.-Georgia went
overwhelmingly democratic in the State
election yesterday. Governor Terrell
was reelected to succeed himself. The
populists failed to carry single county
election. The hottest city election held
in Atlanta for years ended last night, in
the election of James G. Woodward, for
Mayor. Harry Stockdell, one of the
wealthiest men here and prominentin in
surance and society circles, aud John B.
Goodwin, Grand Sire OF Odd Fellows,
were defeated. Woodward was Mayor
four years ago, and on account OF undig-
nifed conduct made the city notorious.
At one time, while mayor, he wrote his
resignation the next time he was intoxi-
Gated. Woodward's strength was main
ly with the laboriDg element. His
plurality was 1853.

Cause of LOckiaw.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plentiiuliy
in street dirt. 1t is inactive so long as
exposed to the air, but when carried be-
meath the skin, as in the wounds caused
by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ is
reused to activity and produces the most
viruIent poison known. These germs
may be destroyed AMI all danger of lock-.
Jaw avoided by applying Chamberlain.s
Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury Is
received. Pain Balm is an antisePtic
and causes such injuries to heal without
maturation and in onethird the time re-
quired by the usual treatment. 1t Is

The Episcopal Congress.

Boston, Oct. Sat 9 O'Clock this
morning many of the delegates to the
Episcopal convention attended prayer
service in the chapel of Trinity Church,
which was conducted by Bishop Rowe,
Of Alaska, and Rev. Samuel Hart, Sec
rotary of the House of Bishops. After
the reading of the minutes of yesterday
session of the House OF Deputies, com
mittee of three was appointed to await
upon the Archbishop of Canterbury re-
questing him to name an hour when he
would be pleased to be presented to the
House. The regua: standing commit
tees were then appointed. President
McKim announced that the Archbishop
of Canterbury would address the House
at noon, and shortly after II O'Clock the
primate was escorted to the platform
together with the House of Bishops.
The venerable churchman was intro
duced by President McKim, who, in
closing his eulogy, asked the arch
bishops blessing upon the convention
The Archbishop of Canterbury delivered
an interesting and practical address.
Among other things he said:
at would be vain to ignore the warn
ing voices which tell us, on either side
of the sea, of a certain decadence in the
definitely religious life Of the ordinary
home, a falling off that is, in the very
force which gave its distinctive inspira-
ton, and lis distinctive power to so much
Of our grandsircs' life. If that be true,
it surely behOoves every gathering of
churchmen, to consider we'll what they
can do to safeguard the men and women
ald above all, the children of America
and of England, for a peril whose gravi-
ty it is impossible TO oyer-estimate, be-
cause it affects the very foundation of our
christian life. Ifmy presence in your
convention be permitted, in the proyi-
dence of God, to promote in any degree
the efficiency of our church's life as a
banded force for the lettering Of what is
amiss in public or in private things, for
the ceaseless fight against impurty and
selfshness and greed, against ignorance
and apathy, against moral cowardice,
and half-heartedness, shall rejoice, in
deed"
A stormy event occurred during the
early part of the session, after resOlu-
ton cOudemning lynching as barbarous
and in defiance of the laws of God and
man, had been presented by j. H. Stot-
zenburg, of Indiana, and referred to a
committee of five. Delegate Buxton, of
North Carolina, secured the floor and
proceeded to read a resolution bitterly
criticising both Bishop Potter and his
subway saloon. The delegate vas al
lowed to read but little of his lengthy
resolve when a point Of order was raised,
it being claimed that lay delegate had
no right to criticise a bishop in any con-
vention. Delegate Buxton was ruled out
of order and amid his speech resumed
his seat. The storm caused by this
action Or the part of the North Carolina
delegate was not easily Gained.
Rev. Francis A. Lewis, of Pennsyl-
vania, offered amendment to canon l3,
on marriage and divorce. 1t was voted
to refer the matter to the committee on
canOus.

your urging me to reconsider my resig-
nation, but am determined to give up
my life as a clergyman and become an

the Rev. Wilson +. Fritch, pastor Of the
Pilgrim Congregational Church, made
to the members of the church who met
last night to urge their pastor to give

main in charge of the little flock there.

The decision of the Wisconsin STU
preme Court that the LaFollettte ticket
is the regular republican ticket Is severe
blow for the Roosevelt stalwarts under
the lead of Senator Spooner. The con-
test between the republican factions up
20 this time has been waged with such
Il degree of bitterness that it cannot be
altogether healed. The stalwarts are
now put in the attitude of boilers. The
court has set its mark upon them. La
Toilette is on top. 1t must naturally
follow that the republican electoral
ticket will suffer by this defeat of the
especial champions of the Roosevelt adj
ministratiOn. Whether the detection
will be sufficient to overcome the usual
republican majority in Wisconsin can
only be determined when the votes are
counted Wisconsin politicians in office
in Washington, most ofwhom are "stal-
warts, assert that the victory of the La
Toilette faction will have a strong ten
dency to defeat LaFollette and give the
State to the democrats. The democrats
should take advantage of the split in
their opponents ranks and wrest the
Stale from republican rule.

THURSDAY EVENING. OCT. g. 1904

A RITTER understanding between the
Protestant Episcopal Church aud the
Roman Catholic Church and various
Protestant bodies was urged by the Rt.
Rev. William Croswel Doane, ID. d.,
Bishop of Albany, n. Y, who preached
the sermon at the opening yesterday OF
the triennial convention of the Episco-
nal Church in the United States in Dos
ton. Bishop DOane's discourse dealt
with the divisions of Christendom. de
referred to the barriers which separate
the Anglican Church from the other de-
nominations. The recognition OF papal
supremacy, he declared, is impossible
but he thought that the church might
readily recognize The primacy OF the
Bishop of Rome, because of the antiquity
of the Roman See. Among other things
he said
II is the common and careless habit
Of census makers and newspaper men
TO divide the Christianity of Amer.
ca under two headings, Catholics ana
Protestants. 1t is inaccurate, insufficient
aud incorrect in its distFibutive terms.
Unfortunately, there are no two titles
that will cover the unhappy divisions oil
Christendom. Fortunately, in classifying
this church, we must include 1t under
both terms, since we are catholic and we
are also protestant. And while, IL we
believe this. it gives us a position OF I'M
imagined possibilities, it gives us also
position of incalculable responsibility.
What. then. is to be our attitude, since
We are not to be swallowed whole by the
church of the Roman Obedience, which
is the church of the Catholic disobe-
dience not to play spider and the hy
with the great Protestant bodies outside
of ourselves, nor to content ourselves
with counting the gain Of here and there
a convert from Rome or proselyte from
Professionalism? What are we TO doY
We are to insist more and more on the
spirit of comprehensiveness, which is
the synonym of catholicity. We are to
think and teach and work and pray and
live in the spirit of Cancellation which is
not compromise.
The spirit OF Cancellation and the
spirit of recognition would doubtless con-
tribute amazingly toward producing a
better and healthier spirit of Christian
ity in all evangelical denominations.

lowers of the late John Kensit and
the Wyckliffe preachers, an organization
founded by the late DIR. Kensit, had pre-
