DROPS ATTACK ON TALBOT
DR.. Iruine Says He Wishes to 1AUoid
Scandal an the Church

Philadelphia, Jan. 31.-The Rev. Dr. I y. w
Irvine. who was deposed by Bishop EtheIbert
Talbot. OF the diocese of Central Pennsylvania
and whose effort recently to present the bishop
failed. to-day issued a signed statement an
nouncing his intention to drop all proceedings
against Bishop Talbot, both ecclesiastical and
legal. He states that he is actuated by a desire
TO prevent further scandal to the Episcopal
Church.
DR.. Irvine reviews the controversy with the
bishop at length, and enumerates a number of
facts not heretofore given publicity. He
charges that money and influence were used by
Bishop Talbot to block his efforts TO bring the
case before an ecclesiastical court
In deciding to proceed no further he says:
do not know what else can be done with
Bishop Talbot who has brought such a scandal
upon the Church and such scandal upon 9TH
ers, but TO forgive him. and | herewith freely
and without reservation offer him fun and free
pardon as if he were standing on the last great
oay before the Judgment throne of Jesus Christ,
our incarnate God

Bishop Talbot's lawyers during the ecciesias-

DIR. Irvine had circulated false reports regard
ing Mrs Emma D. Elliott, but the specification
was nolle pressed. and Dr. Irvine claims he was
deposed because he had offended Mrs. Elliott
and had not taken the blame of her excommuni-
cation upon his own shoulders.
Concerning the civil suit recently entered
against Bishop Talbot, DR.. Irvine says:
Bishop Talbot has twice evaded the service of
4 summons in this city. If he were not guilty
he never would have away, but would have
courted an investigation to the finish DR.. Ir-
vines only object has been TO get vindicaton.
Never have there been any more sincere and
heroic efforts made on the part of any man to

Senator George w. Pierce Heads Move
ment to Arrange one--cireuIar Letter
Issued.
Senator George w. Pierce, who was
chairman of the joint committee on fish
and game in the last session Of the legis-
lature, and who has done important work
in the interest of fish and game since
then, started a movement Monday looking
to the organization Of the "Windham
County Fish and Game League" The
plan is to perfect a county organization,
to include men in every town in the
county. and to that end Mr. Pierce is
circulating a paper for the enrolment Of
members. Thus far the paper has been
circulated only in Brattleboro. 1t has
been signed by many representative cit
liens.
Although the subscription paper is
dated Aug. 1t was not put in circula-
tion until Monday. The text is as follows;
Realizing that the fish and game are
becoming more scarce from year to
year, and believing that there is
great necessity for concerted action
on the part Of the citizens who are inter-
ested in the preservation Of the same,
we, residents of Windham county, de-
sirous or turthering the interest of FISH
and game in the county and believing
that an organization TO be known as the
'Windham County Fish and Game
League would by systematic efforts on
its part aid materially in helping to re-
plenish our streams, ponds and lakes
with fish and our forests with game and
in the better enforcement of the fish
and game laws, do pledge ourselves in
helping to form such an organization and
do respectfully subscribe the amount Of
81 as affixed to our names below, the
said amount to be known as the organ
izing fund for said fish and game league
and TO be used hereafter for the develop
ment and protection of fish and game
in Windham county. The sum named
shall constitute the subscriber a member
OF said fish and game league for one
year, and we agree to pay the same to the
treasurer of said league, OF other author
lied persons, as soon as said league is
organized and its officers duly elected,
provided, however, that not less than
100 persons sign this agreement and the
sum OF 5000 be subscribed, and further
provided that at least six days notice is
given to each subscriber by postal card
naming the date and place Of meeting
for organization Of said league and that
said league is organized within six months
from the above date"

Admiral cIark's Retirement.
boston Herald

Rear Admiral Charles E. Clark retires
for age on Thursday. The withdrawal
OF such an officer from the active list of
the navy calls for special mention. He
Is and always has been, a typical Ameri-
can sailor, and the American sailor who
serves in our navy well and honorably
whether he is officer or man, is one OF
whom his countrymen are always proud
Capt. Clark rendered a great many vaIu-
able services The most distinguished Of
these was his bold and skilful taking OF
the Oregon from the Pacific coast around
the cape into the Caribbean sea, there
to join Admiral SIMPSONS fleet. AS it
turned out, the Oregon was not needed,
but Capt. Clark did the duty that was
imposed upon him then, as he did all his
duties before and after that event, in a
manner becoming the best traditions of
our navy. He is one of the most capable,
one Of the bravest and one of the most
modest and quiet officers of our navy on
either active or the retired list He never
has spoken highly Of himself. nor has he
ever spoken Ill of others, although there
nave been occasions when he might have
done the latter with justice and propriety.
He Is distinct loss to the active list Of
the navy, and the country will wish him
peace and happiness during the years
OF his retirement.

The Janasese envoys face a great prob
lem-almost a crisis-at the very outset
of the peace negotiations. Two years
ago Japan simply wanted Russia to guar
antee little more than a sovereignty and
territorial integrity of China in Man
churia as a means of securing the inde-
pendence Of Korea. The success of the
japanese. both on land and sea, and the
terrible cost resulting from the war has
changed the entire aspect today. One
newspaper man at Portsmouth this week
guessed at the terms as follows: % Ses-
sion OF Sakhalin, (2) session OF Eastern
Chinese railway, (S) Russian recognition
of supremacy Of Japan in Korea, (4) in
demnity of $3.50, 1000, ,OOO 90 the dismantling
OF Port Arthur and Vladivostock. A mem
ber Of the Japanese party, in telegraph
ing to the leading paper of Toxic, said
that he told the Americans that the jap
anese would never be satisfied with the
fourth and fifth stipulations. The Jap
anese will unquestionably insist that Port
Arthur remain fortified by the Japanese
navy and army in order to keep lasting
peace in the Orient, and the indemnity
may be for $1,000, 100000.

Many Famous HoteImen from Southern
Nermont

The Burlington Free Press, under the
heading "A Famous Family of Bonifaces," !"
reviews the careers Of the three Willard
brothers natives Of Westminster, the
article being called out at this time by
the death of Caleb c. Willard, owner of
the Ebbitt House in Washington and the
possessor of several million dollars worth
Of real estate in that city. The
Free Press says: "The three brothers
made their way from Vermont to the ma
tional capital previous to the Civil war;
working their way by serving as stewards
on the Hudson river steamers and in
various other capacities. Joseph and
Henry, the two older brothers. became the
founders and owners Of Wizards Hotel,
long a centre and popular resort for
politicians, which has recently been re-
built on an extensive scale by Joseph E.
Willard, the son of Joseph, and now the
acknowledgements Of Virginia. Joseph
Willard died about 10 years ago and the
death Of Caleb leaves Henry A. Willard
as the only survivor Of this famous
triumvirate of bonifaces."
Henry a. Willard has had a summer
home for years at Nantucket, and has
always retained an interest in the affairs
of his native state. The Free Press re-
calls another famous family Of hotel
keepers, the Lelands, who originated in
the little town OF Landgrove. Members
of this family were proprietors of half
dozen big hotels of New York city, and
famous hostleries in Albany, Saratoga,
Chicago. San Francisco and elsewhere
In addition to the Willards and Lelands
a large number of other men reared in
Southern Vermont have become widely
known for their success in the hotel bus-
ness. Uriah Welch OF the old st. Nicholas

President Wilcox Of the Delaware &
Hudson company having made the state
ment that the coal operators are salts
fed with the present arrangement with
the miners. and are willing to have it
continue indefinitely, 1t may be assumed
with probable safety, that there will be
no coal strike next April. Mr.. Mitchell
says the miners do not want another
strike, but they are getting their or
ganization into the best possible shape to
meet one If it comes. The mines are well
ahead Of production, the bituminous COM
panies being very largely over-stocked,
mining coal far in advance of the demand.
With both sides well armed, there should
be no difficulty in continuing a condition
with which both the mine operators and
the miners profess to be satisfied. AS a
result OF the strike Of 1900 wages were
advanced 10 per cent. in the anthracite
field, and further increase was made in
1902, so that the miners are receiving in
the aggregate SIG, 100000 more yearly than
they did five years ago. 1t is not prob
able that the demand made by the union
during the last strike for recognition and
exclusive contract shutting out non-union
men from work will ever be seriously
pushed again. The fact that the union
list miners wished to withhold from nom
unionists one Of mans inherent rights
to work-went long way toward alienat-
ing from the strikers the sympathy Of
the great public at large. The coneilia-
tion board which has adjusted all ques-
tions Of dispute the past two years ought
to become a permanent body with plenary
powers.

The Springfield Republican asks
whether there has not been a marked
moral deterioration in the legal pro-
fession. 1t points out that there are 1913
lawyers in jails OF New York now and
that more are under indictment for
felonies than at any time in the history
of the state. lawyer undoubtedly
has as easy a chance to go wrong-per-
haps easier-than any other professional
man except a minister. The cheap law
yer is tempted into shystering operations,
while the one with more brains than
character has a field in steering great
financial ventures or legislation designed
to take as much money as possible out of
the dear public and not leave the manipu-
lators liable TO Jail sentences. However,
lawyers are necessary evil and we shall
have to take chances on individual judg-
ment in dealing with them. In this con-
nection it might be we'll TO revive two
stories told at banquet few years ago.
One man read an inscription on a tomb
stone to this effect: Here lies a lawyer
and an honest man." The observer
pondered over this and finally burst out
with Wonder why they put two in one
grave" certain lawyer named Strange
willed that his monument should bear the
words Here lies an honest lawyer" His
friends demonstrated, telling him that his
fame would not endure and that in years
60 come the words would have no
significance. 20 yes they WILL" he re-
sponded. One hundred years hence should
people read Here lies an honest lawyer
they would say that's Strange"
