is pleasant to have them-but, ladies,

way, said the Bishop, could he ac-
count for the PIP votes.
1t was suggested that the ballot box
might have been stuffed.
I'm that event" said Rev. Troy
Beatty, rising to address the chair,
"I move we adopt the Australian sys-

of assessing parishes for diocesan ex-
penses failed, and the present method
of raising funds will be continued.

"a LOVELY DAY"
Nothing to Cry About.

Coffee broke down my nervous sys-
tenn so completely that l was almo
beside myself and could cry at the
least thing.
zone day a person said: Lovely
day, isn't it?' I burst into tears like a
silly fool. Finally we decided it would
be best for me to take a little rest; so
we prepared to break up the home my
husband, our little child and I loved
so we'll, and go away until my health
was improved.
"While away / met a lady who on
account of indigestion had for some
time past been living for months on
broths and the like. but who at this
time fortunately for her, had quit cof-
fee and was using Postum, and at the
time ] became acquainted with her
had got so we'll she was eating any,
thing and everything she desired with
no bad effects. She even carried the
Postum with her wherever she went
on a visit.
This living testimonial was enough
to convince me the Postum letters
have more truth than poetry in them
so decided to quit coffee and try Pos
tum myself. It was certainly inter-
esting as well IS surprising to note
the effects the change wrought in me-
At the first the coffee had such a
strong hold on me as the giving up of
opium might a constant user of the
drug, but this gradually wore away
and within one week / felt like a diff

commenced to remark: MY! how
well you look and aren't you getting

have not felt so well for years since
drinking Postum and doing away
with coffee which was undermining
not only my own but my husband's
health as well. We would not go
back to coffee for anything on earth
We are now back again to our happy
home life we'll and contented.

TWO RUN OVER BY AN ENGINE.
One Dead and the other likely to
Die.

Brunswick. Ca, May 19.-Hamilton
Chambers and George Clake, two ne
groes, were run over on the Atlantic
Coast Line track last night. Cham
bers died this afternoon as result of
his injuries. The negroes were seated
on the track near the union depot dt-
rectly behind string of box cars. The
shifting engine was doing work around
the tracks and finally backed into the
cars behind which the two negroes
were seated. They were both dragged
along the track for about twenty-five
1edd Clark got from beneath the
cars but Chambers was caught and
when the engine released the cars his
screams were heard and people in the
depot rushed out. The car had stopped
and the negro was caught under one
of the wheels, and it was necessary to
get the engine and remove the cars
one at a time in order to get him out.
Clark had his left leg broken and
received one or two other injuries.
Chambers was badly mashed about the
body. Physicians were summoned
and worked on him for several hours,
sewing UP the gashes, but 1t was
thought that he would hardly recover
from the injuries.

tiOn of the Races.
New York, May 19.-President
Clowry of the Western Union Tele-

1t was said to-day that the men who
operate the larger pool rooms are
forming a company to obtain for them

CAN SEND WARSHIPS
UP CHINESE STREAMS.
State Department supports the Act
of Admiral Evans.

State Department supports the Act
of Admiral Evans.
Washington, May 19.-China has
been informed that the Washington
government claims the right to dis
patch warships not only to those Chin
csc ports declared by treaty to be open
to the world, but also upon the inland
waters of China Wherever Ameri-
cans may be and where by treaty with
China they are authorized to engage
in business or reside for the purpose
of spreading the gospel"
That the official details on this sub
ject may be known the State Depart
ment has decided to publish the cor
respondence between Mr.. Conger, the
American minister at Pekin, and Rear
Admiral Robley d. Evans, late COM
mander-i n-chief of the Asiatic sta
ton, which followed protest of the
Chinese government against the visit
of the gunboat Villa Lobos last sum-
mer in the Yangste valley, whittier
she was ordered by the commander
in-chief of the Asiatic fleet to gather
such information about the Ameri-
cans residing there as would be Of
assistance in rendering them prompt
assistance in case of an expected ma
tive outbreak against foreigners.
The Taotai of Kukang protested to
the American consul at Hankow
against the visit of the Villa Lobos to
Nanchang on the ground that bad
men" inhabited that section, and he
declared that the viceroy had informed
all the foreign consuls at Shanghai to
instruct their captains not to visit Po-
yang lake except on most important
business.
Minister Conger called on Admiral
Evans for the facts, questioning his
right to send gunboats into the in
terror. A long correspondence ensued,
Admiral Evans stoutly maintaining
that American warships had the right
to go wherever Americans were allow
ed to reside and engage in business.
Finally the correspondence reached the
State Department and after a careful
reading OF the arguments on both sides,
Secretary Hay has approved the stand
taken by Admiral Evans. The corre-
spondence shows that Admiral Evans
gave strong instructions to the COM
mander of the Villa Lobos to protect
American citizens and to notify Chi
Tiese officials that American gunboats
would severely punish any persons not
paying proper respect to American life
and property.

was announced at the morning session,
and DIR. ]. w. Bashford, chosen on the
fourth ballot late this afternoon. The
third ballot resulted in no election.
Four of the eight bishops to be elect
ed have thus been chosen, as follows:
DR.. J. F. Berry, Chicago; DR.. Henry
Spellmyer, Newark, N. j.; DR.. William
F. Mcdowell, New York; DR.. James
w. Bashford, Delaware, o.
The fifth ballot was taken just be-
fore adjournment. and as a result of it
it is reasonably certain that DIR. Burt
is elected as the fifth bishop, and per-
haps DR.. T. B. Nicely, sixth.
DR.. ]. W. E. Bowens loss of 1874
votes on the fourth ballot is thought
to be an indication that he is out of
the running, but it does not necessarily
affect his candidacy for missionary
bishop. He is the negro candidate.
The report of the Committee on In
ternational and Industrial Peace,
which was read to-day, will doubtless
provoke an animated debate when ii
comes up for consideration next Tues
day. The paragraph on corporations
which is likely to provoke heated con-
troversy, is a strong indictment OF the
"grasping monopolist" and expresses
sympathy with the toiler.

BRIT0NS SYMPATHIZE
WITH THE JAPANESE

London May 2S.-The English newspa-
pers express the greatest regret and
sympathy at Japan's ill luck in losing
TWO warships. They consider it due
purely to accident, probably to derelict
rllhes' not believing that the Russians
placed mines at such a distance.
Aonlration is expressed at the smart
ness Of the Japanese in saving so MANY
llves from their vessels.
Inc reports that the battleships Shik-
lshlma and Full were lost, apparently
rest mainly on the assertions of Rus
sian refugees who arrived at Che Foo.
Inc Morning Post, which is we'll in
formed on Japanese views, thinks that
the disasters to the Japanese vessels
Wi! lead Japan to devote her atten-
tlon to reducing Port Arthur, on the
ground that it is all important that
she retain command of the sea.
