NOT TO Be THE BISHOP
Rev. Dr.. Mann Declines the
Local Episcopate.
ANNOUNCEMENT BY LETTER
Communicates Decision to President
of Convention.
ANOTHER ELECTION IN ORDER
Boston Rector Says the Work in the
Hub Is Unfinished-Ap-
preciates Honor.

Rev. DR.. Alexander Mann, rector of
Trinity Church. Boston, Mass, has de-
clned the bishopric of Washington.
Rev Or. Randolph H McKim, president
of the diocesan convention which elected
the Boston minister to the head Of the
diocese of Washington. received a letter
from DR.. Mann this afternoon in which
DIR. Mann announces his declination Of the
office and gives his reasons for so doing.
The rector OF Trinity Church says he
has given the matter most earnest and
careful consideration and has heard rep
resentatives of the diocese in which he is
at present working and those of the local
diocese. He feels, he adds, that he must
decline the proffer.
DR.. Mann says he has been in Boston
only a short time and that he feels that
his work there Is still unfinished. But
he expresses in the letter his highest ap-
to head the Washington diocese as the
successor of Bishop Henry F. Satterlee.
To Order Another Election.
Rev. DIR. McKim will call a meeting of
the standing committee OF the diocese at
once, and its members will consider
the date for holding another session Of
the convention for the purpose of select
ing a bishop.
DR.. Mann was elected Bishop Of Wash
ington by the diocesan convention which
met in st. Thomas Church the LIST in
Stant. A committee of clergymen and
laymen went to Boston to present the
needs of the diocese to the bishop-elecr
and to urge him to accept the office. Rep
resentatives of the parish Of which DIR.
Mann is the head also waited on him and
urged him not to leave his work in the
Hub.
He considered the matter for two week.
and then wrote his declination. .---rr--
This is the third declination of the
bishopric of Washington since the deatf
of Bishop Satterlee about six months ago
Rt Rev. Charles II. Brent, bishop Of thi
Philippines, twice refused the office. Boti
based their decisions on the same ground
that the work in which they are en-
gagged at present needs them.

epidemic of measels was past.
She was the mother of six children,
four surviving her with a husband and
two brothers and four sisters to mourn
this loss.
For near a half a century she has
walkedin the steps of her Savior whom she
SO dearly loved and liked, she was always
found on missions of love. She was 6

Another Old Settler Gone.

On Sunday, Feb, I6, was held the
funeral of John Collier, one of the Oldest
and mostS respected citizens of Myrtle
township, where he had dwelt since 1882.
Mr.. Collier was native of Scotland,
born June Is, 1910, at a place called
Traquais. In 1866, he was married to
Jeanette Todd. To their union we're
born four sons and four daughters, three
of each still living in Myrtle township.
Mrs, Collier died little over ten years
ago. In 1879 Mr.. Collier removed to

Custer county locating upon the farm
where he remained to the time of his
death.
Funeral services were held at the
home by Rev. H. M. Pinckney, who had
also conducted services at the funeral of
Mrs. Collier.
In early life Mr.. Collier had joined the
Presbyterian church, and through his
life lived as an upright God-fearing man.
The large and sympathetic company
that assembled at the house and after
wards followed the casket to the Lee
Park cemetery, gave evidence of the re-
spect and esteem in which he was held
by his neighbors.

Thursday, Feb. 20 1908.

The whiskey men have been
trying to throw scare into the
farmers-that the present wave
of prohibitation sweeping over
the country would destroy the
present market for corn-but Sec
rotary Wilson shows that NOT
OVER 2 per cent of the entire corn
crop is used for the manufacture
of liquor and large portion of
this is for alcohol and other
spirits used in the trades and
arts. This shows that the mar
ket is not especially dependent
on the continuance of the whis-
key drinking habit.
