LEATHER MADE FROM PLANT
A Vegetable Product of japan That
Is in Demand for This
Country.

Inc department of agriculture is
trying to introduce into cultivation in
this country plant native to Japan.

maceration, is converted into a sub

translucent that one can almost see
through it, and as pliable and soft as

Dacco pouches are manufactured from
the material, as we'll as kind of wall
paper which is already becoming fash
lonable in America Such wall pa
pers of vegetable leather are turned
out in beautiful designs for wall and
ceiling decoration, being stamped and
modelled by hand in most artistic pat

1t would seem that we have a good
deal to learn from the Japanese about
paper making. Already we import
large quantities of another kind of pa
per obtained from the same plant, for
use as legal documents, diplomas,
deeds and bonds. There are at least
eight other plants from which the sub
jects OF the mikado obtain paper stuff,
while we depend for such material
upon wood pulp and rags of cotton and
linen.

showed the letters to every girl in their

Baltimore, Md.-This Is a story OF
how lover lost his sweetheart
through his ardent, but plagiarized
love letters. Walter Aylette's sin
found him out, but the disclosure
brought happiness to his friend and
roommate, Ferman Phillips.
The principals in the remarkable
and interesting love drama are Mol
ly Entrekin, one of the bellies Of this
city, her chum, Martha Baker, Walter
Aylette, son Of prominent Richmond
family high in society and reputed
wealthy, and Ferman Phillips, who
although poor, comes from a distin
Suished line of ancestors.
Aylette, 1t is charged by the other
three parties to the case, plagiarized
the brilliant love epistles that Ferman
Phillips wrote in secret to Martha
Baker and, by changing them slightly,
came near winning the love OF
Miss Entrekin through them and
their passionate force. The discovery
was made but few days before the
wedding was to have taken place, and
the girl with the glamour of the false
spell dissipated, dismissed Aylette, de-
claring him an impostor and cheat.
Phillips and Aylette were friends
and lived in the same boarding house
Why Aylette should have been living
IN Baltimore in obscurity few outside
of the friends who were aware OF
his wildness and dissipation at Rich
mond knew. He was handsome fel
how, dark, dashing and romantic

There is deep interest in Green county

Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that
rheumatism is one of the results of

TROUBLE OTER DIR. IRVINE
Er-Rector's Ordination hay Cause
.SpHt Bet1ceen Churches.

AS anticipated by persons acquainted with the
circumstances involved in the ordination last Sun
day in this city of the Rev DR.. Ingram y. w. 1r-
vine the unfrocked Protestant Episcopal minister,
as a priest Of the Russian Orthodox Catholic
Church. admission of the former rector into the
Holy Eastern Church has aroused many protests
from the Episcopalan clergy. and it threatens TO
sever the cordial relations existing between the
two churches. The most important of these pro-
tests is made by the Rev. Dr. Daniel S. Tuttle, pre-
siding Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church
in the United States.
"rThe Churchman,' in its current issue, prints a
letter written by Bishop Tuttle &c Archbishop Tx
hon of the Russian Church. who presided at the
ordination ceremonies at St. Nicholas's Cathedral,
in East 97th-st, in which he comments on the pro-
ceedings He quotes Canon of the Canons of the
Council of Nicaa, which says that persons who
have been cast out by one bishop not to be re-
admitted by another. The application, says
Bishop Tuttle may be reasonably made to a
Clergyman who has been deposed as to one exconl-
muncated.
Bishop Tutt1e goes to say that the ordaining
of DR. Irvine, in his opinion, would be a repudla-
ton of the validity of the orders of the Church
which are regarded indelible, and might be a
unity now setting in between the two churches
1.-The Churchman,' commenting editorialy on the
promise of Dr. Irvine to promote the uni1cation OF
all churches, says: Certainly he and Archbishop
Tfkhon have chosen a strange way to promote this
