"Often in doing the cutting, when the carcass was that of an animal which had suffered from lumpy jaw. he would strike into the abscesses ac- cidentally and the putrid matter would fly all over him.

Bishop Wants TO settle Differences
Caused by His Letter to
CIerRymen.

NEW YORK, May B-dspecial Tele-
gram. bishop George worthington Of
Nebraska has just left this city on his re-
turn home 10 quiet the disagreement he
has started up among the Episcopal clergy
men OF Omaha, which is his diocese, by
writing a letter 10 them in which ne makes
some outspoken remarks on Sunday golf
playing. automobiling and kindred recrea-
tions. Init he says that TT would appear
that the command OF God to 'hallow My
Sabbath is understood by so-called Chris
tians to mean go TO the Country club,
swing the golf sticks. test the speed of
your automobile. invite your fashionable
acquaintance to your elaborately fur
nished table, forgetting that your man
servant and your maid servant need rest
on the Lords day well as you"
Many clergymen "a the Omaha diocese
do not quite agree W4sb the bishop and
among them are those who think that the
Sabbath Is not desecrated by the swinging
of golf sticks or the whiE OF the sutomo-
bile
