Bishop Paddock’s Successors.
. The death of Bishop Paddock leaves
the Episcopal church in Massachusetts
without a spiritual overseer. Several
names have been mentioned for the po-
sition, but there is one man who, by
general acknowledgment, is head and
shoulders above all the rest, phys-
ically and otherwise, and to whom men
naturally turn as the one right man for
bishop. Dr. Phillips Brooks has al-
, ready, more than once, we believe, re—
fused the lawn sleeves; but perhaps this
time he would accept, and the church of
which he is the most distinguished or-
nament owes it to itself to attempt to
induce him to accept the vacant see.
Immediately after BishOp Paddock’s
death the consensus of opinion, (includ-
ing that of N orwalk clergymen as stated
in the DAILY GAZETTE,) was that Rev.
Dr. Huntington, of Grace Church, New
York, should be the next bishop of
Massachusetts. Within the last ten
days, however, Dr. Brooks has loomed
. into prominence and the editor of the
DAILY GAZETTE was assured last even-
ing by an intimate friend of Dr.Brooks
that if called to the episcopate unani-
mously the latter would not decline the
honor.
Stanley Sails.
This morning, at 9:30, Henry M.
Stanley sailed away from New York on
the Inman liner, City of New York,
after a more or less satisfactory filling
of 109 lecture engagements made for
him by his indefatigable manager,
Major J. D. Pond.
It goes without saying that this series
of lectures was not as profitable as had
beefilooked for, and that in a majority
of-‘c’gses the receipts were off from all
previous estimates at least 25, quite
often 50, per cent. There were two
‘,“good and sufficient” reasons for this,
{find we hereby publish them by way of
a warning to other managers who
represent undoubted talent.
In the first place the important facts
embodied in Stanley’s lecture had been
generally published on both sides of the
Atlantic, hence the logical inference
that a very large percentage of those
who attended the lectures paid their
money to see, rather than to hear, the
great explorer.
Secondly, in the belief that hay must
be made while the sun shines, the prices
of tickets were so unreasonably high
that thousands of lecture-going people
preferred to stay away and miss Stan-
ley altogether, rather than be imposed
upon. At the outset the syndicate plan
was adopted. That is, several gentle-
men of a speculative turn of mind
.agreed to pay Mr. Stanley a certain
price for his appearance and then make
what they could out of it. This plan
was carried out in New Haven, Hart-
ford, and other New England cities,
but we have yet to hear of any brown-
stone palaces being built in those cities
out of the profits, after paying Mr.
Stanley the price agreed upon.
American people are willing to pay
liberally to be entertained, especially
where the entertainer is as noted a man
as Mr. Stanley, but they draw the line
at highway robbery. Henceforward
managers will consult their best inter-
ests if they curb their avarice and pre-
sent first-class talent for what are gen-
erally known as popular prices.
EDBROOKE GETS THE PLACE.
A Chicago Man Appointed as Supervis-
ing Architect.
WASHINGTON, April 15.—The struggle
for the position of supervising architect,
made vacant by the retirement of Mr.
\Vindrim, has been ended by Secretary
Foster appointing Mr. \V. J. Edbrooke, of
Chicago, to the place.
Although there has been a vacancy in
this office but ten days the contest over it
was quite lively. Philadelphia presented
four candidates, but Senator Quay and
Postmaster-General ‘Vanamaker indorsed
Lindlay Johnson, and it was believed that
he would be successful, owing to the claim
that a Philadelphian ought to succeed a
Philadelphian.
The New York candidate was Harry G.
McLean, the present chief clerk and acting
supervising architect, and his appoint-
ment was urged on the ground of his fit-
ness for the place. William VVindom, a
son of the late secretary, was also men-
tioned, while Boston, Providence and Hart
ford had candidates. The president and
Secretary Foster, however, believed that
the west had not been fairly treated in the
distribution Of patronage in the past, and
they determined to recognize that section
at every opportunity.
Mr. Edbrooke is a leading architect of
the Windy City, and numerous structures
there attest to his skill as an architect and
builder. He was indorsed by Senator Cul-
lom and all the Republican congressmen
from Illinois, and, besides, had a strong
backing from different other western and
northwestern states.
A Great Whist Tournament.
MILWAUKEE, April 15.—The Milwaukee
Whist club, the largest in this country, is
holding a whist tournament. All the big
clubs are represented. The president of
the Milwaukee Whist club, Cassius M.
Paine, is one of the most brilliant players
in the west. He is one of the champion
team of the Milwaukee club. Rufus A1-
len last year led the club in individual
points, a high honor, when it is considered
that he had 300 competitors. John Rhein-
hart is another, and Eugene S. Elliott is
the fourth, he being a very strong player
both at Whist and chess. While the tour.
nament playing will, of course, be a promi-
nent feature at the congress, it will not be
the only business on hand. The Milwau-
kee club will appoint a committee to draw
up a code of laws more suited to the pecu-
liarities of the American game than the
English code now in use.

THE EEEEEEEO DECIDE.
0110 I Warranto 1' Proceedings Begun
by Judge Morris.
BULKLEY MUST‘SHOW CAUSE
Why He Retains the Governor-ship oi
Connecticut—He Is Given Until
April 16 to File His Rea-
sons—The Petition.
NEW HAVEN, April 15.—The quo war-
ranto proceedings brought by Governor
Morris against Morgan G. Bulkeley were
presented in the civil side of the superior
court Tuesday by State Attorney Doolit-
tle. Proceedings were also brought against
Lieutenant Governor Merwin by Dr. Al-
sop, the Democratic governor-elect. The
proceedings were brought before Judge
Prentice, who is an intimate friend of
Governor Bulkeley. The writ was made
returnable on April 21, but Judge Prentice
thought the time was too short,.and the
date was changed to April 24.
The papers were served on General Mer-
Win in the afternoon and will be served on
Governor Bulkeley probably by Wednes-
day. The lawyers for Judge Morris will
be ex-Governor Ingersoll, State Attorney
Doolittle, Judge Henry Stoddard, of this
city, and Attorney Hamersley, of Hart-
ford.
The Petition.
The following is the substance of the
petition:
To the Honorable Superior court, New
Haven county, now in session at said New
Haven, comes Tilton E. Doolittle, attorney
of the state of Connecticut, who in his be-
half prosecutes in his own proper person,
and in behalf of the state of Connecticut,
at the relation of Luzon B. Morris, of the
town and county of New Haven, gives
this county to understand and to be in-
formed:
That on Tuesday, the 4th day of Novem-
ber, 1890, being the Tuesday after the first
Monday of November in that year, a gen-
eral election for governor of the state was
held in the several towns of this state as
required by the constitution, and that
said Luzon B. Morris was one of the per-
sons voted for at said election for governor;
That the list of persons voted for at the
meetings of the electors in their respective
towns of the state so held for such pur-
pose and of the number of votes at such
meetings given for each were made and
certified by the presiding officers of said
electors’ meeting respectively and were by‘
said presiding officers transmitted, to-
gether with the returns of said elections,
to the secretary of the state as required by
the constitution; .
Bulkeley Must Show Cause.
That the votes so returned by the presid-
ing officers of the several electors meetings
to the secretary as given to the office of
governor were, within the month of No«
vember, 1890, counted by the treasurer,
secretary and comptroller of the state, by
which count it appeared that the number
of 67,662 of said votes had been given for
Luzon B. Morris, and the number of 67,636
votes and no more had been given for all
other persons voted for for said office of
governor.
The petition then goes on to state that
at the first day’s session of the legislature,
which was held on Jan. 7, 1891, the trees—
urer, secretary and comptroller, by
whom the votes were counted, laid before
the general assembly a fair list of the per-
sons voted for and the number of votes
given for each at the general election, and
by this list it was found that Luzon B.
Morris had been chosen by the electors to
be the governor of Conneticut for two
years.
Here follows the resolution of the sen-
ate declaring Luzon B. Morris and the
other officers formally elected, and also
the house resolution appointing a com-
mittee on canvass of votes and the report
of the same. Here follows a tabulated
statement of the votes cast according to
the returns received by the secretary of
state.
The petition concludes as follows: Upon
the foregoing information being filed in
court it is ordered that a rule be entered
that Morgan G. Bulkeley show cause, if
any he have, why he usurps and by what
warrant he claims to have, use and enjoy
the office, rights, privileges, dignities and
franchise of governor of the state at 10
o’clock a. in. on the 24th day of April,
1891, and that notice be given to
him of the filing of said information and
of this rule by some proper officer by leav-
ing a true and attested copy, certified by
the clerk of the court, of said information
and of this order, with the said Morgan G.
Bulkeley, or at his usual place of abode
in the town of Hartford, on or before the
16th day of April, 1891. Per order of the
court, April 4, 1891.
A Fatal Triangular Fight.
MERIDIAN, Miss, April 15.—A triangular
fight occurred yesterday over a negro who
was being conveyed to jail by a constable
named \Vilson. The negro was charged
with carrying concealed weapons. While
on the road to DeKalb the negro’s em-
ployer attempted to take him from the
officer. A fight ensued in which the
negro’s employer, a friend of his named
Sanford, and Vlmson were engaged. Wil-
son was killed, Payne, the negro’s em~
ployer, shot in the neck and Sanford
wounded in the body.
A Democratic Mayor for Trenton.
TRENTON, N. J ., April 15.——The city elec-
tion here resulted in the election of Mr.
Bechtel, the Democratic candidate for

930; Skirm, (Rep) the present mayor, 4,-
864. The common council will stand
eighteen Republicans and fifteen Demo-
crats; the board of education fourteen

The Diss Debar’s Latest.
NEW YORK, April 15.—Ann O’Delia Diss
Debar, the spook priestess, has notified the
Associated Press that she has committed
suicide. .The story is not believed, and is
considered to be an attempt to get some
free advertising on a scheme to evade her
board bill at Taylor’s hotel, Jersey City.
However, Ann O’Delia has disappeared,
leaving empty trunks behind:

DRESS TRIMMINGS.
Before telling our Own story let us repeat what the representative of a
leading New York importing house said a few days ago upon inspecting
stock. “I have just come from New York, have seen the best stocks
inPhiladelphia, Boston and Chicago, but I have never seen a collection of
fine trimmings to surpass this.” He was not praising his own wares, as our
purchase from him amounted to less than one hundred dollars. Brilliancy
of coloring and elegance in effect and style characterize the latest dress
trimmings. We carry a full line of all the latest novelties in Gold, Silver,
Steel and Jet Passementeries ; W ide and Narrow Jeweled Gimps are
