conviction that the constitution Is a

his private life, no shadow upon
his public career. And standing now in

Z Bradstreets says:
* Business in general has experienced
further moderate improvement in
jobbing as well as in wholesale lines.
Fall trade has reached the maximum at
some cities and most of out Of town
merchants have left the large centers
for home, though state fairs and fall
carnivals are attracting visitors to
various sections, thus enlarging the
volume of trade. On the whole pur-
chases have been confined chiefly to
staples and no more than actual needs
have been filled; therefore sales have
been considerable below those of last
year at this season. .
This conservatism for which APP
preaching elections and the diminish
ed purchasing power of the public out
side of the agricultural regions are
responsible is looked upon with some
degree of satisfaction, it being felt that
inasmuch as retailers stocks are not
burdensome constantly good filling in
order trade should be experienced
throughout the fall and winter.
Relatively best reports come from
the larger cities of the west and south
west. Southern and western states
also contribute good returns. Farmers
appear to be more disposed to let go
of their products and this fact augurs
we'll for future country trade and some
activity in railway traffic, while it will
end toward betterment, in collections.

Took Prominent Part in
Civic Affairs.

COOPERSTOwN, N. Y, July
Goldman Potter. seventh Protestant Epis-
copal bishop of the diocese of New York,
died last night at "Fernleigh." his summer
home here, after an illness of several
weeks. The bishop was unconscious all
day, and the end, which came at $50
o'clock tonight was peaceful and quiet
The prelate was "a years old.
Gathered at the bedside of the dying
churchman were Mrs. Potter, wife of the
p~relate; Mrs. Mason c. Davidge, who came
from California. and Miss Sarah Potter,
his two daughters; Alonzo Potter. his
son; Mr.. Edward S. Clark, Stephen c..
Clark and Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. Clark. Mrs.
Charles Russell and Mrs. William Hyde,
his two other daughters who are abroad,
have been notified. Death was due pri-
marily to embolism in the right leg, fol-
lowing a long attack of liver and stomach
trouble, and the end had been foreseen
for several days by the bishops ply
sicians. Bishop Potter suffered a severe
relapse yesterday morning. and, though
and he sank unto Inconsistencies early
today, which lasted until the end.
No arrangements for the funeral have
as yet been made, but it is probable that
services will be held here and that the
body will be removed to New York, where
a public funeral will be held at Grace
church. Bishop Potter's illness first be-
came publicly known early in the spring,
when announcement was made that he was
unable to take part in the Easter service.
A diagnosis showed that the bishop was
suffering from a stomach and liver malady
