The great English prelate followed out his own teachings in this respect, and it has been the usual rule with American bishops also. Few, if any, of them have died pos- sessed of any personal fortune, al- though the opportunity to amass wealth was often present. Here in New York, says the Herald, for in— stance, the late Archbishop Hughes and Cardinal McCloskey could, if they had been so disposed, have easily ac- cumulated fortunes through specula- tions or investments. Neither had any- thing to bother him at his demise. The * late. Archbishop Wood, of Philadelphia, was noted for his ability as a financier, having large experience in business be- fore he entered the ministry. All his talent in this direction was exercised to improve the diocesan property. He left nothing of his own. The pioneer bishop of Brooklyn, Rt. Rev. John Loughlin, was famous for his shrewd foresight of real estate valuess, He se- cured property all over the city in the best sites long before the city limits en- hanced their value: With the resources at his command he could have easily been a millionaire. All he disposed of in his will was his watch and a set of old spoons, which he gave to his sister. A year before his death the people of Brooklyn gave him a purse of twenty- five thousand dollars at'the celebration of his sacerdotal jubilee. With this money he paid off the debts of some of the charitable institutions. The only modern prelate on record who tried to make money was the late Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, who started a banking annex to the Episcopal palace. that a disastrous failure it was need not be recapitulated here. Yet it was his brother more than the archbishop that was to blame in the matter, and the object of the scheme was not for personal gain. It was a means adopted to better the resources of the diocese to meet the demands of the increasing population for churches and priests. Of the present members of the hier- archy of the United States Archbishop Ireland, “the consecrated blizzard” of St. Paul, is probably the wealthiest. His personal fortune comes from land investments made before the marvelous lgrowthof the western cities near his home and from railroad enterprises in which he had been included by the in- timate and powerful friends he has among the western trunk line mag- nates. According to his admirers, the bulk of his income goes to the poor mis- sions andfichurches that form no incon- siderable part of his province. Arch- bishop Corrigan has a modest patri- mony from his father’s, estate. It is doubtful if he has increased it from the salary of his office, which, as has al- ready been explained, is well balanced by the demands continually made on it. He is now much interested in the completion of the new diocesan sem- inary near Yonkers. His personal con- tribution to it is the erection of the chapel of the institution. This will probably cost him seventy~five thou- sand dollars. Cardinal Gibbons does not get a very large income from the small diocese of Baltimore. ‘It is well known that he hesitated for some time about accepting the red hat, for the reason that he was too poor to incur the very considerable expense that ac~ companied such an honor. Archbishop Williams, of Boston.whose name has more than once been men- tioned for a second hat, has also given this reason for a refusal. The other day he commemorated his sacerdotal jubilee, and one of the gifts from his admiring subjects was a check for fifty thousand dollars. Perhaps he may now see his way to an acceptance of a seat in the senate of the church, where, it is said, the pope desires to have him. Archbishops Feehan, of Chicago; Riordan, of San Francisco; Gross, of Oregon; Ryan, of Philadel- phia; Chapelle, of Santa Fe; Katzer, of Milwaukee; J anssens, of New Orleans, and Hennessy, of Dubuque, are all comparatively poor men. There is not amoney spinner among them. Arch- bishop Elder, of Cincinnati, has a con- siderable reputation as a financial ex- ecutive, but all his energies have been spent in getting the diocese out of the tangle into which the Purcell disaster threw its affairs. Related to the Queen. Victoria, queen of Great Britain and empress of India, has just given her royal and parental consent to one of her relatives entering upon a profes- W: ~’~--,-r'—“"', ~ EioHEs.‘ ~ sional career in order—to earn his living on the public stage. In, an English paper the following business-like an- ' ‘nouncement appears among the court news: “A member of the queen’s fam- ily is about to go on the stage as a pro- fessional singer. Countess Valda Glei- chen, the daughter of the late Prince Victor of Hohenlohe, the queen’s nephew, more remarkable for her voice than her pocketbook, nds herself com- pelled to make her own living by sing- ” ng. The Newly-Rich. Wealth and ignorance sometimes go hand in hand. To a jewelry store in a small town there drove up one day a handsomely dressed lady, who entered, ' and, after some preliminary flourishes, asked for a dozen souvenir spoons. “A dozen souvenir spoons?” repeated the clerk, in natural surprise. “Yes,” re— plied the lady, placidly, “a 'dozen sou- venir spoons—to eat souvenirs with, you know. My daughter makes beau- tiful souvenirs.” The clerk turned pale, and exhibited a tray of orange spoons, on a venture. She selected a dozen and carried them away, and the clerk is still wondering What she really wanted. ' HAD BEGUN ”Tomi-i158?“- A Pathetically Humorous Story Told of a Cumberland Mountain Farmer. A writer in the Detroit Free Press tells a pathetically humorous story of a friend of his, Jack Negly, a Cumber- land farmer. The writer had lent J aeik a few dollars, with which to buy a pair of steers, and had received from him many visits of apology; for Jack was an honest man, and did not enjoy being in debt. He was a renter, and at least every other season he was occupying a dif~ ferent farm. By my advice. he had moved the year before into an entirely newfield, a dozen miles from his usual haunts, and I had not seen him for several months. When I did see him, at last, it was by accident as business called me into his neighbdrhood. As I rode past his place he hailed me from the corn—field and came out to the fence. “Hello,” I exclaimed. “Is this your farm?” “Yes, and I jist come over to tell you, colonel, that I’ll be ready to pay part of that claim uv y-Our’n afore long.” “You must be doing well?” “I think I’m doing inst-rate, and I‘m powerful obleegcd to you, colonel, fer headin’ me this way.” “I’m always glad to help, if I can.” “‘I knowed that, colonel, and that’s why I come away over here solfer frum home. Hit’s kinder strange to me, but cz long ez I’m doin’ ez well ez I am I’m a—goin’ to stand hit.” “Are you making any money '3” Jim’s face brightened, perceptibly. “No, I ain’t, colonel,” he replied, hope- fully; “but I’m losin’ it slower’n I ever done in my life afore.” _ ' It struck me as rather odd at first, but upon reflection I concluded that Jim might have reason for his hopefulness. A FEW UNUSUAL HAPPENINGS. Benjamin McKenney, an 81-year-old resident of Cape Porpoise, Me., has just- c-ut three new teeth. A church organ made of bamboo has been built at Shanghai. The notes are said to be sweeter than those of metal- lic pipes. A few days ago a Wilmington (Del.) woman received a little box by mail in which was a watch and chain that were stolen from her 12 years ago. An unusual sight was witnessed not long ago, in Churchill, Nev. A flock of 2,300 sheep were stampeded, and soon afterward two columns of them madly rushed together, causing the death of 360 of them. Their bodies lay in a pile six feet high. Max Osterberg, of Columbia college, New York, wished to take a photograph of the skeleton of a mouse, by means of Prof. Roentgen’s wonderful discov- ery, the cathode rays. He procured a mouse that had been drowned over two hours. thile the drowned mouse was under the glare of the rays it came to life, and in 30 minutes was as lively as ever. » OF INTEREST TO THE SCULPTOR. A tablet commemorating Franklin’s residence there has been set up at Passy, now part of Paris, on the wall of the Christian Brothers’ school. John Bright’s sons have asked for the removal of’ the statue of their father recently set up in the corridor of the parliament buildings in London. The statue is the unsatisfactory work of a sculptor named Gilbert. Daniel French, the sculptor, has given to the public library at Exeter, N. H, a bust of Ralph lValdo Emerson in plaster—an exact copy of the original, executed by .Mr. French at Concord, when Mr. EmerSon gave him at least .‘30 sittings. . M. Barre, the sculptor and engraver, who recently died in Paris at the age of 85, designed the coins issued by Na- poleon III. in 1852.

Endowment Effect of the Result of the Convention at Indianapolis. THE ABSENCE OF HARRISON. tie Is Not a Candidate, but May Be In 3 Position to Accept the Nomination. The State Nominees—Tennessee Goes For Free Silver. INDIANAPOLIS, May, 9.—F_. ’1‘. Roots, Who presided during the greater part of yesterday’s Republican convention, and who Is very close to (ax-President Harrison, made today the following statement re- garding the significance of yesterday’s ac- tion: “The question has been frequently ask— ed, What significance attaches to Mr. Her-- rison’s absence from the convention? In answer it may be said his absence is con- firmation of his statement, ‘There never has been an hour since I left the White House that I desired to return to it,’ and further frees him from the charge that might have been made—i. e., insinccrity. “In answer to the question, What will be the effect of the resolution instructing for McKinley? it can be truthfully said to be most beneficial for all concerned. It is a truthful reflection of the sentiment of the voters of Indiana concerning McKin- ley, which has crystallized since Mr. Har- rison’s letter of February last, and if the unekpectcd should happen at St. Leuis, and there should be a call for the ex-presi— dent, he would be in a position to accept such a call, and the followers of McKin- ley would become the supporters of Gen- eral Harrison, since Indiana, in no uncer- tain terms, has instructed and declared for McKinley at her state convention.” The convention remained in session un- til after 2 a. m. The following candidates were nominated for state offices! Govern- or, James Mount; lieutenant governor, W. S. Haggard; auditor, A. C. Bailey; treasurer, F. J. Scholz; attorney general, W. A. Ketcham; appellate judges, W. B. Robinscn, W. J. Henley and .T. B. Black; supreme court reporter, Charles F. Remy; superintendent of instruction, D. E. Greet ing; statistician, S. J. Thompson. Mr. Mount. the candidate fer governor, was born in Mentgomery county, Ind., in 1843, and spent his early life on a farm. In 1862 he enlisted in the army and served till the close of the war in the Wilder bri- gade. In 1888 he was elected state sen« ator, and in 1890 was nominated for con- gress in the Terra Haute dist-riot, but was defeated. ' Tennessee Democrats. NASHVILLE, May 9.—The financial plank of the platform of the state Demo- cratic convention says: “We demand the restoration of the money of the constitu- tion by law providing for the free and un- limited coinage of both gold and silver as full legal tender money at the ratio of 16 to 1, regardless of the action of any other nation.” The platform also demands laws. state and national, making gold and silver legal tender for all debts, and pro- hibiting contracts discriminating against either; the repeal of 10 per cent tax on is- sues of state banks, a tarlfi' for revenue only, and an income tax. The adminis- tration of President Cleveland is not men- tioned. Fix-Governor Robert L. Taylor . was nominated for governor by acclama- tion. Ford llIurdered Elsie Kreglo. WASHINGTON, May 9.—All doubt con- cerning the murderer of Elsie Kreglo, the 16-year-old daughter of a tenant farmer in the outskirts of the city just beyond the Zoological park, who was brutally killed while defending her honor, has been removed.
