New York, N. Y, January 2.-Cler-
gymen Of all denominations and even
laymen may now discourse from Epis-
copalian pulpits, provided the bishop
of the diocese approves, in accordance
with the new canon enacted at the gen
eral convention at Richmond, which
went into effect yesterday.
Although the rule was adopted by
a large majority, there are still many
high churchmen who think the innO-
vatfons should not have been permit
ted and the results Of the procedure
are being watched with interest. The
Episcopalian clergymen is not expect
ed to assist in the services, other than
one of his own denomination.
The conservative elment in the
church fears there may be cases where
the rector and perhaps the bishop
will permit some speaker of radical
views to discourse from this open pull
pit; provided the head Of the See ap-
proves a Roman Catholic or a priest
of the Greek church may be permitted
to make an address and there are some
who have forebodings that the Episco-
palian faith is becoming too liberal.
Current numbers Of the Churchman
and other religious periodicals are
filled with discussions for and against
the plan.-Dispatch to the Raleigh

A Woman Who Locks Up All the
Checks She Receives.

Not all the stories OF boarding are so
amusing as that about the lady who
locked up bank checks which she
thought it was unsafe to part with 1t
would do n world Of good if those who
do not know would take the advice Of
one of those who do.
The lady with the checks ought 10
know that by delaying presentation
she takes all the risks, and may both
lose the money and release her debt
or The fact that boarding of cash
may do any harm TO anybody does not
occur TO these uncommercial persons.
The best stories about boarding
come from the west, some Of them
brought by Mr. Stickney. There arc
banks there which have so much more
money than usual, several times 'ho
accustomed ample reserve, that thy
are hiring extra watchmen and bull
dogs and lying awake nights Some
country bankers come to reserve cen
tres where cash payments have not
been suspended between banks and de
posit their excess OF reserves--a story
perhaps with a local moral. One far
mer drove into town and told tho
worst sort OF a hard-luck story which
he could imagine in pport 81 bis

he could be accommodated. he drz

Throughout the length and
breadth of the land members of
the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, without regard to political
affiliations, deeply resent the
Memorial day address made by
Secretary Taft at the tomb of
General U. s. Grant, in which
he charged that the greatest of
Northern generals was addicted
to the excessive use of intoxi.
cants, says the Kansas CITY
Post. And the old soldiers have
just cause for their indignation,
for the gratuitous Islander was
utterly without excuse or iusti.
fication.
History does not support the
accusation of Mr.. Taft, but even
if it did, this would not serve in
any way to lessen or mitigate
his offense against decency.
General Grant was a brave and
valiant soldier, whose services
were rewarded by the American
people with the highest gift
within their power.
