fspecial to The CitlxenO

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, June
26.-People still have odd ideas
about the United States in some
other parts of the world, it
would appear from statement
printed in recent issue of a
PERIODICAL published in Dundee,
Scotland.
The article referred to the
custom of giving newly-conse-
Grated bishops of the Episcopal
Church gifts, vestments, episco-
pal ring, ETC., and said that
when Bishop w. F. Nichols was
elected in 1898 to be bishop CO.
adjutor of California, his former
vestrymen presented him with a
rifle, a revolver and bowie
knife"
The Scottish newspaper COM
ments on these unusual gifts
with grave surprise: And the
Bishop remained in his see I'M

after she had torn notices oil

Several times, on the way to

and up a little higher went the

and resumed walking. Three
men followed her and the sheriff
and when he pushed her into a
cell and stepped out himself, she
tried to break out of the door,
and it required the combined
strength of four men to push to
the door on her.

Wuppsrtal last night. the British
Air Ministry said that. during
