BISHOP AT VIRGINIA
LondoDer Talked at the Presen- tation of Lecfern to Church
 To-Day.

Williamsburg, Va, Oct. 5.-With the bishop. of London preaching ser mon in Bruton parish church, the oldest church in point of continuous use of the Anglican communion in the United States, the services here to-day attending the presentation of a lectern from President Roosevelt and bible from King Edward were of peculiar historical interest. The triennial convention of the Protestant Episcopal church in the United States which is in session at Richmond, sent a deputation consisting of one clergy man, one layman from each of the thirteen original states, together with the representatives of the diocese of Southern Virginia. During the af- ternoon a special train brought prac- tically the entire membership of the convention.
 The bishop of London and other distinguished visitors were given a great ovation upon their arrival shortly before II o'clock. The party proceeded directly to the church.
 After prayers the lectern was pre- sented by Bishop Satterlee of the dio- cese of Washington, speaking for the president of the United States, and was received by Bishop Randolph of the diocese of Southern Virginia. The bible was then presented by the bishop of London, who conveyed a message to the American church from King Edward. It was received by Presiding Bishop Futile.
 An overflow meeting was held ill the parish church yard, which the, bishop of London addressed. The bishop of Albany took part in the services.
 In the afternoon the service includ- ed addresses by Bishop Montgomery, secretary of the society for the prop agation of the gospel, the bishop of Massachusetts and Rev Dr Randolph H .McKim of Washington, president of the house of clerical and lay dep uties.
 An offering was taken at the morning service which will be di- vided equally between some special missionary work in the diocese of the Lishop of London and the permanent endowment fund of Bruton parish church.
 Luncheon was served in the church at noon by the ladies of Bruton par ish in honor of tile distinguished visitors.

CARTAGENA.
Colombia Has the Oldest Walled City
 In This Hemisphere,


 In This Hemisphere.
 One of the few walled cities in this hemisphere and perhaps the oldest, is that of Cartagena, Colombia, South America. The wall, which is still standing and in excellent condition, stretches its irregular circumference several miles in inclosing what was one of the gayest, wealthiest and lar gest cities of the new world in the days of Spanish supremacy. It is said that $50,O00,O00 was spent in construct ing this wall, and it must be remem- bered that three or four centuries ago that meant considerably more money than it does now. az
 The wall is wide enough to accom- modate several teams abreast. Its top is fiat in most places, while at inter- vals there stand sentry boxes, showing that the wall was meant to guard the light hearted residents within it's in- closure from sudden attacks either by sea or by land.
 At one end of the wall near the sea is still to be seen the government pris- on. Here there is a long row of cells, which are still kept for the use of pris- oners. At present these offenders are much sought by tourists to the Spanish main, for many of the men confined there have for sale exquisite carvings on shell and wood.-New York Herald.

NEW TIOW FOR SUEVIC
Biz Ocean Liner Was Injured By Running on the Rocks
 Some Time Ago.

Belfast, Ireland, Oct 5.--A re- markable launch occurred here to- day, when the new bow built for the White Star line steamer Suevic to replace the one left on Stag rock near the Lizard, March IT last, slid into the water. The Suevic. during a fog, ran on the rocks and after vain attempts to refloat her, the salvers cut away her forepart, re- fioated the rest of the ship and lowed it to Southampton, where it is now in dry dock and ready to re- ceive the new bow. The ] alter, which is 200 feet long, considerably longer than the old bow, is fitted with deckhouses, captain'ss bridge, mast, and so on, will be lowed to Southampton, where the two sections will be connected, not as two clean cut portions, but almost ill the same shape as when they were separated, the jagged ends of tho iron work, the bent pipes and splintercd wood work having been prepared for ac- curately joining the two portions of the steamer.

The Landlord Told His Literary Guest
 How to Get Out.
 In the days before the dawn of his fame it was the practice of a certain we'll known author to wander up and down the land seeking what he might devour in the way of suggestion and local color. In this way he had drifted into Arkansas, ''roughing it," and not, as he expresses it, presenting an ap- pearance calculated to inspire a hotel proprietor with unlimited confidence.
 The only hotel in the town, a frame structure, seemed to have been built upon the theory that there was plenty of room straight up, but that ground had to be bought, and the wanderer was shown to a room on the third floor, reached through many narrow and winding passages. From the one window 1t was a straight drop to the ground.
 "Say, how would I get out of this place fin case of flreT' he asked the landlord, who had brought up his grip.

BALLOON CAME BACK
Problem of Aerial Navigation Was Solved at London
 To-Day.

London, Oct 5.-That the British army has solved the problem of aerial navigation was proved to the satisfaction of Londoners to-day. when the dirigible war balloon. which has been given several trials at Aldershot camp, sailed from Farnborough, thirty miles south west of here, to London, and after maneuVering over the city started back to it's Headquarters. The balloon went around TrafaI- gar square, over the new war office and past Westminster Abbey and the houses of parliament, travelling at the rate of about fifteen miles an hour and being under complete con- trol.
 The appearance of the balloon was great surprise, as it had been an- nounced that changes in her con- struction had been found necessary after, the last trial and shat they would occupy some days.
 The British military balloon is named Multi Secundus, and has a lifting capacity of about one ton. which, after deducting the weight of the apparatus, permits carrying crew of three men of average weight. The engines are so built that the ex-. haust vapor is turned into gas and is carried up into the balloon above by means of tube.
 The balloon is understood to con. tain new developments in aerial nav lgation, which will put Great Britain we'll ahead of all other powers in the matter of dirigible balloons, the British invention being said to be able to deliver considerable gun fire.
