REFRIGERATOR SERVICE.
Inausurated On the Pennsylvania Rail
road System.

In order to facilitate the handling
of dressed meats, provisions and 9th
err perishable freight in New York Har-
Dor, the Pennsylvania Railroad has in
augurated a refrigerator barge ser
vice. This innovation was adopted
after much experimenting as to the
best method OF handling this character
OF traffic where it is impracticable to
make delivery in the original car and
where the Company must furnish pro-
lection against heat in summer and
cold in winter. Ordinarily this pro-
lection has been Afforded by refrigera-
tor cars. The situation at the port of
New York, however. differs from 9TH
err Atlantic ports in that steamships
have no rail connections at their piers,
and freight must be delivered by
floats. 1t was to supply this need that
the Pennsylvania Railroad inaugural

To Be Set Right.

Cincinnati, o., Oct. 13.-The house
of deputies OF the general conference
of The Episcopal Church put itself on
record as believing in the Bible as the
word OF God. Some of the members
feared that the statement made in de-
bate Saturday by Rev. A. A. Morrison,
of Oregon, against the embodiment in
the proposed preamble of the acknowl
edgrnent by the church that the Holy
Scriptures represented the word of
God would carry false impression to
the world of the standing of the con-
vention on this point.
An entirely new departure in the
missionary field calling for represen-
tation in the councils of the church.
was considered by the house Of
bishops in petition from Episcopal
ministers who are chaplains in the
army and navy service. They want to
be considered as body to be elected
into a special jurisdiction, to include
chaplains of military and navy reser.
vations, aboard ship. and at insular
posts. No action was taken today, but
a new office, If decided upon, will most
likely be called bishop of the army
and navy.
The house of bishops finally concur
red with the house of deputies in pass
ing the measure for the electioa of suf
fragan bishops. These will be asssa-
ant bishops without right of success

trict to which they are appoin ed
While the house of deputies voted
down the recommendations OF its COM

principle that prayers for the healing
of the sick should be given but with

The commission having in charge
the movement to raise a five-million
dollar fund for the relief of the cler-
gy reported that sS0s,69733 in cash
and pledges had been collected dur
ing the past three years. A plea was
made for better salaries for the aver
age clergy. The average pension CIV
en- out to clergymen and their families
during the past three years was $40 a
month. There were $50 benefciaries.

growth of the recognition of Panama
after its revelation and the establish

siderable animosity has been shown
toward Americans by some of the
people of Colombia and when an
American syndicate put in a street

ter to work up hostile demonstra-
tions, But the situation was at no
time critical. 1t was only riotous

peaceful conclusion to the troubles
and now that the street railway over
which the recent trouble arose. has
been sold TO the government, no
fears of further trouble are enter
tanned"
Mrs. Northcott was alone IN the
