'The Episcopal Church and its Laws.
The history of the Church of Eng-
land in the colonies follows very close-
ly the political history of the colonies
The union of church and
it
themselves.
State worked badly in two ways;
identified the great body of the clergy
with the Tory side, and it held back
the ecclesiastical authorities in Eng-
land from sending any Bishops to
America, who could have given the
Colonial Church an independent exist-
tence; and thus, when the separation
was accomplished, the church was left
disorganized and discredited. The
States were independent, and the church
was thrown on its own resources in
each colony separately.
Organization was effected in Con-
necticut first, for which Seabury was
consecrated Bishop in Scotland, and in
the other states alterWards, the first
Bishops of Pennsylvania and New York
being consecrated at London. In this
way each of the new states constituted
a diocese, and when the national church
was organized as a whole it was one.
basis consciously modeled upon the
Federal Constitution, the dioceses re-
taining 11 rather unusual measure of
autonomy, though in all essentials sub-
jeet to the national synod, which was
given the unecclesiastical title of the
eneral Convention.
Considering the growth Of the Episco-
pal church in the century and more
that has followed, it is remarkable that
this constitution, which practically
organizes ‘the’church in the whole
United States into a single province,
has served so long and so well. It has
been clearly recognized of late that
some modifications were needed to
adapt the s 'ttem originally framed for
a dozen contiguous dioceses on the sea-
board to the requirements Of seventy

The only distinct departure recom-
mended is in the provision for the or-
ganization of provinces, of not less than
five contiguous dioceses, the Bishops of
each province to choose their own, Pri-
mate, and the provincial synod to exer-
cise such intermediate authority as
may be delegated to it by the General
Synod. This is a reform that has been
earnestly advocated for many years,
and it is so obviously in the interest of
greater facility of administration that
it it is likely to commend itself to the
judgment of the General Convention.

The Mystery of His Disappearance
Cleared. ,
The body of little Morris, the three
year-old son Of Simon Harris. who
keeps a fancy goods stlre on the Wash-
ington street bridge, who suddenly dis-
appeared yesterday morning, was dis-
covered by Frank Ghitto shortly after
nine o’clock, this morning,
the water near the Spiles under the
railroad bridge. , When discovered the
body was lying face downward With the
back partly out of water. Ghilto sum-
moned Ralph Lockwood who lifted the
lifeless body into his boat androwed
to the carriage bridge and then tender-
ly carried it _to its parents’ home.
Medical Examiner Burke was sum-
moned and pronounced it a case of
accidental drowning.
This accidental drowning makes. the
second one that has occurred at the
Washington street bridge within a year.
All along the bridge, at the rear Of
the houses, there is no protecting rail-
ing and as there are a great many fami-
lies residing there having children who
make these wharves their play ground,
it is wonderful that no more distressmg
accidents of this kind have occurred.
The proper authorities should at
once take steps to have this danger re-
moved before some other little tot falls
overboard and meets the fate of Morris

Sensation ln Stamford.
Dr. Charles Rowell, of the Stamford
city council created a sensation in that
body last night by demanding an inves-_

that if the doctor would divide the sal-i
ary with him he would use his influence
to secure Heximer the appointment of:
Health Officer by the common council.
The latter says that he declined the
offer, but was subsequently appointed.-
The salary is $400 a year, and a feature
Of the alleged agreement was that Dr.
Rowell would get it increased to $600.

JOhn Gllp’ln’s Ride.
“A horse! a horse ! my kingdom for

tered by E. A. "Bohme, as he walked

away. Not so '5with “Horry.” He
knew that his friend had once galloped
over. the plains of “'I‘imbuctoo,” on the
wild untamed steed, and was no slouch.
“‘Here, Jack,” he‘called, to the ever

Bill mustdlig." The mustang with ears
laid back, stuck Out straight be-
hind, and eye of fire was soon going
one eye on Bohme. Now or never, was
the letters thoughts, as with all eyes ~
upon him he flung himself into the sad-
dle and gathered up the curb rein in
his left hand. " '
The mustang meekly trotted out
from the stable 1: is though conquered by
his rider, but h... ineekness was of short
duration.
Bohme guided his gallant steed 'np
Spring hill, and right here is where he
made the mistake of his life. As soon
as the beast saw Tommy Silk, and re-'
collections of the'Spriug hill feuds en-
tered his mind, he stopped. Gazing
sadly about as though to take along
last fond look at his gallant rider, he
flung his ears back and was seized with
a sudden attack. of appendicitis. He
weaved; bus back bone humped up;
he sneezed; he jumped ten feet
in the air and then started on a run.
Spring hill hen-coops were cleared,
even cow sheds had no terrors for
Buffalo Bill as he flow along With both
hands of his rider fast in his flowing
mane, and his coat tails flapping in the
breeze.
Down past the dead in Riverside
cemetery flew out banker friend, un-

was still humping himself at every
jump. Hills roseand fell yet his heart
was gay, with BOhme only five miles

ors to drag into perdition Rudolph, so
that he, Hertzhog, may longer live.
He is foiled by the fairy queen Stalacta,

wicked are punished. It is an impres—
sive story and embellished as it is, with
tiful costumes and lithsome dancers,
representing fairies, it has ranked
among the§h high class theatrical attrac-
tions for over a quarter of a century.
It will be seen at Hoyt’s Opera House
