Church of England Rector Has Inn, the
Fish ana Eels.

London. March 2.-Taking his cue
probably from Bishop Potter of the New
York diocese, the Rev. S. w. Thackeray
NJ. A. and Ii. D., clergyman of the
church Of England, has started, under
his own personal management, a saloon
where ali the usual intoxicating liquors
are sold. The house is quiet, old
fashioned inn, called the Fish and Eels
at Hoddesdon, in Essex. II stands on
the banks Of the River Lea, and is much
frequented by fishermen.
The Rev. Mr.. Trackeray acts rs his
own gardener when not engaged in GO.

gyman in England who has ever served

pints of ale in saloon.
In these days the church is dying OF
respeetability and | am going TO try
to have il across the bar Of this public
house"
The Rev. DR.. Thstkerav, priest in
holy orders and publican, smiled genially
as he said this and leaned against the
bar Of the Fish and Eels.

absolutely from all other of the time
honored methods of travelling over the
eternal ice of the Arctic zone. Mr..

as he has already made one attempt
for the Pole, in the old fashioned way.
From Spitzbergen, Wellman, to-

not an absolutely forlorn hope. To the

given the honor of locating the North
