REVIEWERS ON BIOGRAPHY
 OF NOTED ALABAMA BISHOP

TT HE name of the lat Rt. Rev. Bishop
 Wilmer, elected bishop Of Alabama
 in 1861, and who died in 1900. is held with such reverence and his memory so endurlngly cherished that the publication of a biography of this noted man has found hundreds of appreciative readers. The Rev. Walter C. Whitaker, rector of St. Johns church, Knoxville, Tenn. is the author of what is pronounced singu- larly Illuminating biography.
 Tt is,' says reviewer, the story of a truly remarkable man, of splendid per- sonal presence, a scholar who practiced his Latin each day by recording in thae language some ordinary event, of great eloquence in the pulpit and a dead shot in the hunting field, an uncompromising adherent of the cause of the south in the civil war, and so good practical econo- mist that through all vicissitudes he was never in debt and never dunned his con gregation for his salary, a valiant cham pion of the independence of church from state. a noted humorist and wit, a fine horseman, and an expert at billiards"
 The biography covers quite exhaustibly the history of the church movement fol- lowing secession. Immediately after Bishop Wilmer was elected bishop of Alabama aNstate seceeded, and as this reviewer points out, no American clergy man was ever before or since placed in such q peculiar position, because with secession there was no longer any Eplsco- pal church of the United States as far as the south was concerned.
 The Winner biography contains, tnere- fore, the story of that conflict from which grew "The Episcopal church in the Con federate States of America

BISHOP WILMER'S WIT.

It was soon after the reunion that he went to London to the Lambeth con ference. Here he was in constant asso- citation with other American bishops to whom he had but recently been op- poseu, and he gave Illustrations of a power of wit which sometimes became fierce. Being condemned to hear of tho landing of the Pilgrim Fathers on Plymouth Rock a great many times, he hearing about the landing of the Pil- grim Fathers on Plymouth Rock that heartily wish Plymouth Rock had land- ed on the Pilgrim Fathers
 It was few years later, when he was in New York raising money for his orphan asylum, that he was induced to propound the Lazarus conundrum which Gen. Harry Maury of Virginia had invented. He was at a dinner party and was urged to say what was the hardest thing he had ever heard in the south against the north. He was promised immunity, and finally said it was found in the conundrum. Why was the south like Lazarus?' the an swer being, Because she was liked by dogs" His hosts took the joke in good part, except one old gentleman, who grew red In the face and blurred out, Well, sir, if you at the south consider us dogs why do you come up here to beg for money?" Because, sir" calmly replied the bishop, ''in the south we holiava in tho ,,ravapb fbof bo f, of the dog is good for the bite"

SERVICES IN PRIVATE HOUSES.

When Winner received this order he asked whether force would be used to close the churches if it were disobeyed. He was told that 1t would be. There fore he ordered the churches closed. and for some time services were held in private houses by men and women who considered themselves persecuted for conscience sake. Wilmer issued a pastoral letter defending his position and pointing with irresistible force to the fundamental principle of independ- ence of church from state which had been violated. He carried the contest to Washington, and it is not pleasant refectfon for Americans of the present day that at first General Thomas was upheld. The justice of Winners posi- tion was. however. finally acknowledged, and the general orders were ordered to he revoked. This was done by Thomas in "General Orders No. 49," which were couched in language of studied personal insult to Winner.

Branded. Beer ''Hop-on" Must
Pay Fine of S10O

The Helm Brewing company
will contribute $100 to the cause
of good government because one
of its employees accidentally"
mis-branded seven barrels of beel
which were shipped into Kansas.
A pure food inspector, smelled
the brew and had it examined.
INSTEAD Of being "Hop-on," as it
was labelled, a supposedly two
per cent drink, it was real beer.
Judge j. s. West, assistant dis.
trict attorney, had no trouble
showing Judge Pollock that the
beer was misbranded, and the
court assessed a fine of 800
and costs. In endeavoring to
eyade the prohibitory law the
beer fell into the clutches of the
Ienforcers of the pure food and
drugs law; "a law which, just now
IS being enforced by the federal
government quite as rigidly as is
the prohibitory law by the state
government.

Kansas Live Stock Healthy

In a statement issued last week,
lave, Stock Sanitary Commission
er Baker says that live stock Of
all 'kinds, with the possible ex-
ception Of hogs, are freer now Of
disease than they have been for
many years. Many outbreaks Of
hog cholera have been reported,
but upon investigation, he says,
they are traceable mostly to the
sudden change Of feed or unhy-
glenic surroundings. He says the
the germs have also been traced
to hogs exhibited at county fairs
and stock shows. The remedy,
he declares, is that, first Of all,
changes in food should always be
made gradually and all pens ane
lots should be kept clean, and
should be disinfected regularly
with air-slacked lime and a solu-
ton Of coal tar products and wat
er. The feed lotrthould be dry
and dustless, Show animals
should always be dipped immed-
lately upon being brought back
to. their old quarters, and be iso-
lated from other hogs for at leas
8 weeks. The same precaution
hould be. taken when introduc-
ing new breeding animals into
a herd.
