turn. The Society of Friends was rep
resented by Davis Ferris, whose sim
cere utterances brought forth applause
at the close. Archdeacon Hall here
announcing that Bishop Coleman
would have a word to say in response,
the bishop said that while he had had
a long acquaintance with the diction-
ary he had never discovered zone"
word that would convey his gratitude
to those who had bestowed greetings
and that he would have to tax his
hearers patience with more than that
number.
Bishop Coleman asked the question
relative to what had made his people
so mindful of his welfare and declared
that if there had been anything in his
life which had resulted in their love,
confidence and loyalty, it was simply
by the grace of God. He humbly ac-
cepted the beautiful tokens in his
name. Bishop Coleman spoke of his
recognition of the responsibility at
tached to his Office and he asked his
people to continue their prayer to God
for his success aud for them to cooper
ate with him in the future as they had
done in the past. "When man by
the grace of God has lived to be missed,
he has learned the meaning of
joy" said the bishop during his talk
and he continued by adding that as
result of the words which he had heard
he could take up his duties with a far
greater confidence. In conclusion he
said that he could only assure each
and all present and those who had
sent messages that while he may be
deficient in many things he was not
lacking in gratitude. When the SER
vice closed the bishop took up his sta
tion at the entrance to the Sunday
School room, there was rush to shake
his hand and it was in this part of the
service that he heard some of the
warmest expressions of Joy and graft
tude that he had returned. While the
crowd was large and the hour late the
bishop had word to say to all, and
the handshaking lasted nearly an hou".
He appeared deeply moved with the
kind words which were poured into
his ear.

A GREEDY CORMORANT.
He Devoured Two Pounds of stones
as Part of a Meal.

He DRVOured Two FOunus Oh StOhCS
as Part of "A Meal.
When l was a keeper in the National
Geological park in Washington l OBJ
served a remarkable example Of the
well known greediness of the cormo-
rant.
Four little cormorants came to the
ZOO and were placed in a cage in which
dogs had once been kept. Outside was
a pebbly yard in which the dogs had
exercised The cormOrants waddled
about this yard and seemed to be hav-
ing a fine time until one morning no
ticed that one OF them was sitting on
the ground unable to rise. He did not
waddle up to get his meal of whole
fish, each usually about half as long as
his own body, and as the others came
rushing toward me to get their share
I knew that he was i'll. / went into
the cage and lifted him up. What was
my amazement to hear something graf
ing and clanking inside Of him! And
he seemed surprisingly heavy. l at
once called the head keeper, who de-
cided to investigate by means of sur
gical operation.
He took out two pounds of stones,
one of which was four inches long, two
and a half inches wide and about half
an inch thick! The poor chap seemed
to feel relieved. In a few days he be-
came convalescent, ate his food regu-
larly and seemed to be doing well.
Then that hooked bill reached under
the feathers and tore out some of the
surgeons stitches, which were I'M
doubtedly irritating. as the wound was
beginning to heal. AS a result of this
interference the wound opened, and,
as the weather was hot, the patient
died five days after the OperatiOn.-St.

TWO PARDONS REFUSED BY STATE BOARD.
Sess lon Held 10 Dover Last Week and Several
Cases Were Seriously Considered.

Cases Were Seriously Considered.
The Board of Pardons refused to
grant two pardons last week, although
they were besought earnestly by
women and friends of two prisoners.
Mrs Savina Diguliana, the wife of
the italian who is serving a sentence
in the New Castle County Workhouse
for wife beating, appeared before the
board accompanied by President Car
mine DiMare of the italian Mutual So
ciety of Wilmington, Chief of Police,
George Black, and Deputy Judge
Phillip L. Garrett. Digugliana has
served nearly all of his three years
sentence, and will shortly be rele ased.
Although his wife has long since for
given him for the assault, the board
concluded it unwise to grant pardon
to the prisoner.
An appeal for the pardon of James
Allen, young Milford man, who is
serving a five years sentence for as
sault, in the Kent County was made
by the young mans mother and sister,
represented by Attorney A. D. Mar
shall. Allen was sentenced for running
after and attempting to assault a
young woman. The defence was that
the young woman urged him to run as
frolic, and when she found they were
observed, she screamed and entered a
charge of assault. The defense also
claimed that Allen was suffering from
mental alteration but has now fully
recovered.
