Not Afraid. but A.hnmed.

While presiding at a session of the
New Hampshire conference Bishop
Peck was entertained by a Mrs
Brown, who had high reputation as q
cook. She was especially famous for
her mince pies, and at supper the bish
op, who enjoyed good living, as his
strong frame and 800 pounds indicat
ed, did full justice to a large piece OF
the delicious pastry.

asked Mrs. Brown.
As the bishop was to make the chief
address of the evening, he regretfully
declined.
Il know some mince pies are indiges-
tible, but mine are quite harmless, "
said Mrs. Brown persuasively. So the
bishop yielded and had a second piece
and after that a third.
Evening came, and the large church
was packed with people. The hour for
service arrived, but the bishop had not
appeared, The elders looked anxious.
The choir sang. and the preliminary
services were well started. Then two
or three went out to look for the abb
sent bishop.
They found him at Mrs. Browns,
writhing in the agonies of indigestion,
resulting from indiscreet indulgence in
harmless" pie. As the ministers saw
their well beloved bishop lying in his
bed and groanlng with pain, one of
them said:
"Why, Bishop Peck, you are not
afraid to die, are you?"
NO" replied the bishop between
groans. 4 am not afraid to die, but 1

HIS ANGELS WERE FEMALES ,
Sculptor Destroys Figures to Settle
Discussion Of Sex.

Discussion Of Sex.
New York, Oct 11.-Gutzon Bor-
glum. sculptor of the Angel of the An
nnnciation and OF the Angel of the
Resurrection. which were intended to
have adorned the walls of the great
cathedral of St John the Divine at
MOrningside Heights, announced that
he had destroyed the two figures. Mr..
Borglum did so because Of a dispute
which had arisen as to whether the
figures should be masculine or femi-
nine. The sculptor had created his
conceptions of the two angels in the
form of women and his work had been
sharply criticised on that score.
Mr.. Borglum said that he had re
ceived a final opinion of one of the
church authorities that the figures
must be masculine, and he added:
81 went to the cathedral and with
a chisel and mallet smashed the an
gels into hits. l felt like the veriest
vandal in thus completely wreclIing
what ] knew to be works of beauty
and power. / did so to put stop to
a useless discussion and to prevent
any use being made of the figures
other than had been originally in
tended.
Il am absolutely astounded that any
clergyman could stand in the presence
of 80 or 40 images of a purely religious
and spiritual character and see moth.
ing in them but sex. And now that the
whole unpleasant matter is over, l am
just as sure as ever that the feminine |
side of our race must be our chief
source of artistic inspiration and will
so remain. absolutely unaltered by all |
pedantic controversies"

Raplee was one of the best-known

fortune. In 1856 he opened a banking
house at 1877 Broadway, which was
capitalized at 100000, and did a
yearly business of $5OO.OOO which was
a large sum at that time. Since 1867,
when this bank made an assignment

Mr.. Raplee's fortune, although invest

diminished. Three years ago he closed

Chicago. Oct 10.-Because Of a pc
culiar freak of nature, Robert Gar
diner. a prisoner In the county jail
here, charged with the murder Of Ag.
nes Morrison, may escape the death
penalty. When he was arraigned in
court his attorney, William Buckner,
startled the court by turning to As
sistant States Attorney Barbour and
saying; This is a case where it won't
do you any good to ask for the death
penalty. They can't break this mans
neck If they do try to hang him and
you may lose him altogether by hang
ing him and failing to execute the sen.
tence in full" It appears that the
prisoner is suffering from ossiication
of the vertebrae and tissues of the
neck. According to Professor Steffen-
son, of Rush Medical College, only
five cases similar have ever come to
the notice of the medical profession.
Attorney Buckner declares that the
hardening of bone and tissue has pro
ceeded so far that it would be impos-
sible to bring any strain upon the pa.
TENTS neck shat would be sufficiently
severe to cause any discomfort other
than slight straining of the muscles-
