II BALLOTS,
NO BISHOP
Continues From First PageJ

Meanwhile some Of the laymen had
become disguised and left the conven-
ton between and o'clock because
the deadlock could not be broken.
Under the vanons OF the Episcopal
Church the clerical delegates must
nominate a bishop by two-thlrds vote,
and then the nomination is submitted
TO the lay delegates Denomination or
rejection, two-thirds majority being
necessary to confirm. The nomination
also must he confirmed by a majority
Of the bishops and a majority Of the
standing committee throughout the
country. Under the resolution Of pro-
cedure the laymen had no voice in
presenting the names Of candidates to
the convention, but simply sat around,
looked and listened.
Rector and Lsymen Vary
striking variance in sentiment be-
tween rector and lay delegates was
pointed to in the representatives from
St Johns Church, this city. Arch
deacon Hall nominated DR.. Applegate
for bishop and supported him for many
ballots, while on the other hand Judge
Bradford and George A. Elliott, the lay
delegates from ST. Johns. were re-
garded as among the foremost advo-
Gates Of DR.. Thomas for the episco-
pacy.
The deadlock yesterday recalled
those IN the diocesan conventions In
1897 and 1898. when three different
conventions were held before Bishop
Leighton Coleman was elected. Prior
to the election Of Bishop Coleman the
clerical delegates had nominated three
men for bishop all of whom were dis
approved by the lay delegates.
Many Were in Politics
Many OF the lay delegates in the
convention were men to whom dead
locks were not uncommon, as they
have been prominent in Republican
and Democratic politics throughout the
State. Among them was former
United States Senator Richard r.
Kenney, former State Senator j. r.
Clements and former Clerk Of the
Peace Jefferson b. Foard all promi-
nent Democrats, while among the
well known Republicans who were
lay delegates were Henry y. Thomp-
son, George A. Elliott state Senator
Ramsen @. Barnard, Of Camden. Mer-
lrtt ~ Willis ftrmer president Of the
Levy Court: Charles II. Maull, OF
Lewes. who is mentioned for insur-
ance commissioner; former Represen-
tatlve Richard T. Piling, w f. Curtis,
OF Newark, member Of the Republican
State Committee; Deputy United
States Marshal J. M. Mitchell, S. John
Abbott, of Milford, auditor in the
Treasury Department at Washington,
and Daniel Burton, deputy collector of
internal revenue.

A-Y-P EXPOSITION

Ii is rumored, and the rumorS have been published, that the east is not in favor. OF at least not in sympathetic cooperation with the west as regards the AIaska-Yukou-Paciic exposition 10 be held in Seattle in 1909. It IS urged that the government should lend no support, because other fairs thus aided have been financial failures, and this one might be. It iS not 60 be supposed for one moment that those raising this objection have any regard whatever for the governments ln- vestmeuts. It is safe 10 say that he who k seemingly so sOliciJOus for the government k really troubled because there k more prospect of some one else being more benefited than him. self. In other words he doesn't care tnker's dam for the Government, but Is of such a small soul caliber that he will expend his weak energy in trying to prevent another from eujoying what be himself cannot get.
 It is urged against the proposed fair that Jim Hill will make great deal of money hauling people across the continent to the Pacific coast. ObJec- tlon Is also raised upon the ground that Seattle will be greatly benefited by having this fair held in her midst. Even AIaskans are said to be iudiffer- ent to the exposition because Seattle is likely to reap great rewards.
 These objections are too trivial to answer. Let him who can profit by she exposition. The west, and es- peciany the Northland will be the greatest gathers. The people will be brought out from the east and made acquainted with the wonderful re- sources of this great northern country. The result will be an increased flow of capital, and a great influx of people to develop the richest land owned by Uncle Sam.

House Warming

Last evening was the occasion of a very pleasant gathering at the new home of Rev. and Mrs. l.. II. PederSen. Mr. Pedersen had been very busy during the late summer and fall in building house for himself and family. The work was 'personalIy conducted" in the strictest sense, as Mr.. Pedersen did the greater part of the worK himself. The people of the town contributed most willingly in money and work toward the construct ion of this new home for the minister and his family.
 Having recently moved into their new house the minister and his wife last evening invited all those in any way interested in the work that has been done, to house warming in their new home. A goodly company gather ed and spent a very enjoyable evening The house has been constructed with a view not simply to the convenience of the family, but with the idea of making it the house of the people as we'll as the home of the pastor. 1t is the purpose of Mr. and Mrs. PederSen to keep open house at least once a month, and every Tuesday evening, especially, the pastor will be at home to all the men.
 Mir. PederSen is doing good work in Seward, and his genuine interest in the welfare of the people is recognized by all. Men engaged in every Oc- cupation attend the church services. It is the unanimous opinion that in Mr. and Mrs. Pedersen we have the right people in the right place.

 The occasion of all this was too much indulgence in winter sports. The small boy skates, the big boy skates, everybody skates but father, and he sometimes gets his skates on. When the snow is too deep for skating, the sportive youth slides down hill. This amusement, too, becomes general, and the snow takes a backside crack at it, and does the act on a grand scale. Tons of it come down the mountain. It divides it's forces sliding up and down the canyon, reaches out over the pipes of the electric light plant and puts the whole thing out of commis- sion.
