DIR. ISRAEL ELECTED BISHOP.
His Many Honesdale Friends Delight
ed to Learn of His Deserved
Promotion.

Erie, Pa, Nov. 2O.-The Rev. Rog-
ers Israel D. D., rector of st. Luke's
parish, Scranton, was this afternoon
elected bishop of the Protestant Epis-
copal diocese of Erie, recently au-
thorized by the general convention
of the church in Cincinnati. The
election was unanimous.
The convention opened this after
noon and was presided over by Rt.
Rev. Cortland Whitehead, bishop Of
Pittsburg, which was divided. After
much discussion the delegates from
the northern counties succeeded in
imparting the name Erie" to the
diocese, while the delegates from the
Southernmost counties were success
full in the selection of the bishop.
The new diocese comprises thir-
teen counties: Erie, Crawford, Mer-
Ger, Lawrence, Venango, Warren,
Mexican, Forest, Clarion, Elk, Cam
eron, jefferson and Clearfield.

NEUROLOGY.

Miss NJ. Nellie, eldest daughter of
Mrs. Patrick Griffin, died at her home
on South Main street, early Tuesday
morning. She had been i'll for about
seven years, an affection of the heart
being the ailment which finally caus-
ed her death. During these years of
sickness she seldom left her home
except to attend mass on Sunday and
for the past nine months she was
unable to leave the house. She was
born at Honesdale 3 years ago last
February. She was educated in the
local High school and graduated
therefrom in the class of 1892. For
eight years following she was a sue
cessful teacher in the Texas schools,
failing health compelling her to re-
linquish her duties. Miss Griffin had
many dear friends, gained through
her possession of most sweet and
lovable disposition. She was devout
and faithful in her Christian duties.
For the past week she hovered be-
tween life and death but through all
her sufferings she remained patient
and resigned to the end. She is sur
vived by her mother, five brothers
and two sisters, namely: DR.. P. F.,
Honesdale; Mark E., New York;
Joseph and Miss Margaret A, at
home; Charles H., Schenectady; Will
liam, Detroit, Mich, and Miss Evaline
r., Scranton. Funeral services will
be held Friday morning at st. Johns
church at ten o'clock; interment in
st. Johns cemetery.

His Indecision in the Matter of EN-
ploying "a Doctor.

plOying Doctor.
The parsimony of the old New
Englander of the type now almost
vanished was nobly eXemplified in
Mr.. Benny Huntingdon, who lived
with his maiden sister in a little
town in western Massachusetts.
Neither had ever spent a penny un-
necessarily and when in his old age
Mr.. Benny became crippled with "the
rheumatic" and had, as well strange
flutterings of the heart, which were
unrelieved by the best recommended
'yarb teas" they were greatly shock
ed at the suggestions and warnings
of their friends and neighbors that
they ought to send for a doctor
Mr.. Benny refused, declared his scorn
of the entire medical profession and
continued to save his pennies.I
But the pain grew worse. Mr..
Benny was confined to his bed in
great agony and overheard some of
the neighbors telling his sister that
he was going to die. Then he sent
for an old schoolmate, a man as
careful" as himself.
"Josias," he asked, in a low, con-
fidential tone, have you ever had a
doctor?"
Josiah shook his head. Dunno
as | have" he answered.
Mr.. Benny reached out and laid a
trembling hand upon his old friend S
arm. Josiah" he said again, did
you ever hear how much one o. them
doctors charges for a visit?"
Josiah looked at his suffering
friend with plying sympathy.
"Well," he said, breaking it as gent
ly as he could-"well, | have heard
Benny, that they charge as much as
50 visit.
1.-TWO dollars!" Mr.. Benny repeat
ed. 1.-TWO dollars!" Then he sank
back on his pillow and sighed in g
voice of strangely mingled relief, re.
gret and resignation. well, / dun

Bronson lost a valuable team horse,
Saturday night. Saturday morning
he drove to Hollisteryille to get a
grist ground. He was accompanied
by Walter Swingle. The latter, hav-
ing some official business to attend
to, called at the 'Squire's office. Mr..
Bronson tied his team, and went
with Mr.. Swingle. They had been in
the office but a few minutes, when
word came that there was a sick
horse outside. They went out at
once, unhitched the horse and did
everything they could do to relieve
his sufferings. But the horse grew
worse until 2 o'clock at night, he
died.
