One Man “’ho Pronounced the ‘Afl‘air a Fraud Was Promptiy Elected—The Importance of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Office. CANTERBURY, Jan. 9.—The Right Hon. and Most Rev. Frederick Temple, D. D., was enthroned today in the cathedral here as archbishop of Canterbury and primate of all England. ‘ There was a dramatic incident as the archbishop was traversing the nave at the end of the, procession. A voice shouted loudly: _ “ The whole proceedings are a. fraud The interrupter, an elderly gentleman of clerical appearance, was speedily and forci— bly ejected amid considerable excitement. The Spectators at first thought that the disturber was the Rev. Mr. Brownjohn, the clergyman who protested against the confirmation of the archbishop in the Church of St. Marylebone, London, on p: ARCHBISHOP TEMPLE. . Dec. 22, claiming, inefiectually, that the archbishop should not be confirmed, as he was, a believer in Darwin’s theory of evo- iution. It developed, however, that the name of the interrupter today is Greenwood, and he is not a clergyman. The approaches to the cathedral were thronged, and the fine old edifice was filled with Spectators soon after the doors were opened at 10:15 a. In. An hour later the doors of the cathedral and precincts were closed. ' Soon after the mandate for the enthrone- ment was presented by the vicar general to the chapter of Canterbury in the treas-' ury. , After this ceremony the chapter proceed- ed to the deanery and conducted the arch- bishOp to the great west door through the Cloisters, where a procession was formed, headed by the r‘edesmen and the, high seneschal, the municipal representatives, the military and county representatives- and others. A Procession of Dignltaries. ~ The dean of Canterbury, the Rev. F. W. Farrar, walked on the right hand of the archbishop, and the vice dean walked on the distinguished prelate’s left. The archbishop was attired in full archi- epislcopal robes, his long scarlet train being borne by two boys, king’s scholars of the cathedral school. They wore, according to immemorial custom, surplices of pure white linen, yel- low sandals and little purple caps. Immediame behind the train bearers walked the eight; chaplains of the arch~ bishop, the number he is allowed by law to “retain and qualify,” two more than the statutory allowance of a. duke. Following them came the long and va- ried procession of ecclesiastics, the most of whom wore their robes. Slowly they filed into the various seats assigned them, and hardly had the last of them taken their places when the aug- mented choir burst forth into the “Halle- luiah Chorus, ” which was taken up by the vast congregation that crowded every space from wall to wall and door to door. The music ceased as suddenly as it began when all were in their appointed places, the bishops being seated near the holy ta- ble and the archbishop occupying the stall of the archdeacon of Canterbury, adjoin- ing the throne. Contrary to precedent, the enthronement- was proceeded with immediately. The vicar general presented the mandate for the enthronement to the archdeacon, who caused it to be read aloud by a. notary public. The Installation. The mandate was then executed. The .archdeacon escorted the archbishop-to the archiepiscopal throne and made him sit down in it, saying in Latin: “I, George Rodney Eden, archdeacon of Canterbury, by the authority which I en- joy, do induct, install and enthrone thee, most reverend father in Christ, Frederick, by divine providence archbishop of Canter» bury,into the archbishopric and archiepis- copal dignity of Canterbury and into the real, actual and corporal possession of the said archbishopric of Canterbury and of therights, dignitics, honors, pro-eminence and all things pertaining to the same, and may the Lord guard thy coming in and thy going out henceforth, now and forever. Amen.” The dean then read the morning prayer, and at its conclusion the archbishop was conducted to the marble chair, accompanied by the archdeacons and dean of Canter- bury. The marble chair, known as the patri- archal throne, is said to have been used by St. Augustine, and in it during many cen- turies the archbishops of Canterbury have been enthroned. The archdeacon of Canterbury seated the archbishop in the marble chair and re- peated the formal words of the installment and enthronement. , The archbishop then knelt and made his private devotions, after which he was con- ducted through the middle of the choir to the dean’s stall, the archdeacon saying in Latin: “We place thee, most reverend father, in this seat as a sign of thy real possession thereof.” ' ' The choir afterward sang the “ To Deum” in English, and the archdeacon sang certain versmles, to ~which the choir replied. ‘ The ceremony ended with the saying of a collect by the archdeacon, commending the new prelate to the care of the Almighty. The procession was then reformed and the archbishop was conducted, as before, through the nave and Cloisters to. the chap- ter house, where the archdeacon placed the archbishop in the principal seat, saying in Latin: , ' ”We assign thee this. seat, most reverend father in God.” - T . - After the oath to maintain the'rights of the church of Canterbury had been admin- istered upon the holy gospels the ceremony was terminated by the. dean, the residen- tiaries, the honorary canons and all the ministers of'the church, in their accustomn ed order, promising obedience to the'arch- ' bishop: ~ . The Archbishop’s Powers. Ecclesiastical England, including Wales, is divided into two great provinces, each ruled over by an archbishop. The larger province, with 23 dioceses, .has its seat at Canterbury, the capital of the ancient king- dom of Kent; the smaller, with only nine dioceses, at York, the old capital of Nor- thumbria. - . The archbishop of Canterbury has al- ways held preeminent- authority over the whole kingdom. This is marked in the titles which the respective archbishops as— sume. Both are primates. But the arch~ bishop of York is simply called primate of , England. The' archbishop of Canterbury, on the other hand, is primate of all Eng- land. , » The archbishop of Canterbury has pre- cedence over all the nobility save those of royal blood. The lord chancellor comes next and then the archbishop of York. The new archbishop of Canterbury is one of the most advanced of liberals among English churchmen. .He is a professed ad- vocate of Darwin’s theory of evolution, and upon the occasion of his confirmation as archbishop of Canterbury, in the Church of St. Mary-le-Bow, London, on Dec. 22, the Rev. Mr. Brownjohn made an inefiec— tual protest against Dr. Temple’s confirma- tion on the ground of the latter’s belief in the theory of evolution. The archbishop of Canterbm’y, who was born in 1821‘; has been successively head master of Rugby, bishop of Exeter and re— cently bishop of London. He took a double first class at Oxford and married a. daugh- ter of the Right Hon. W. S. Lascelles. LADY SCOTT SENTENGBD. The Arletooratie Society \Voman Must Serve Eight Months In Prison. . LONDON, Jan. 9.———Lady Tina Scott, John Cockcrton and William Aylott were each ' sentenced to eight months’ imprisonment for libcling Earl Russell. \ The Old Bailey courtroom was crowded when the three prisoners who yesterday pleaded guilty of having criminally libcled Earl Russell were brought up for sentence. Lady Scott entered the courtroom accom- panied by her daughter, the Countess Rus- _ sell. When the prisoners were called to the bar for sentence, Mr. John Lawson Walton, M. P., sclicitor for Lady Scott, addressed the court .in behalf of his client, saying that her ladyship pledged herself not to re- publjSh any of the libels she had uttered against Earl Russell. Sdlicitor Hall, speaking for Cockerton and Aylott, said that his clients did not withdraw a. single word they had said or any statement that they had made concom- ing. Earl Russell, having told nothing but the truth about him. Lady Scott, in reply to the usual questions by the court as to what she had to say why sentence should not be pronounced upon her, said that she was perfectly willing to accept any pun» ishmcnt that his lordship the judge might see fit to inflict. All that she had done, she said, was in defense of her daughter, and she would gladly suffer anything for her sake, The judge then addressed the prisoners, speak,- ing for half an hour. He was repeatedly interrupted by Lady Scott, who finally be- came exasperated at the lecturing of the court and exclaimed: “For goodness’ sake let me have my son- tence! I am only a woman.” The judge then pronounced sentence upon the prisoners, condemning each of them to eight months’ imprisonment with- out hard labor. Lady Scott, on account of her delicate health, will be treated as a first class misdemeanant, but Cockerton and Aylott will be treated as ordinary pris- oners.’ As Lady Scott was leaving the prisoner’s dock after the judge had sentenced her she turned and said: . “Every word I uttered against my daugh- ter’s husband is true.” The Prussian Budget. ' BERLIN, Jan. 9.—I_n the Prussian budg- et for the coming year the revenue and expenditures balance at 2,046,031,385 marks. The extraordinary expenditures are estimated at 90,176,356 marks and are covered by the ordinary receipts. Among the permanent increases in expenditures are 19,500,000 marks additional pay for state officials and 5,312,000 marks for in- creasing the salaries of the teachers in the elementary schools. Municipal Contest Settled. NEW HAVEN, Jan. 9.—As a. result of the opening of the ballot boxes the long legal contest for town agent here ended today, Baldwin, Republican, giving up the keys to Hugo, Democrat. The Republican board of selectmen then passed an order practi- cally taking away the duties of the town agent except signing checks. The Repub- licans thus'retain the olitical patronage of the office, while the wn agent draws his salary. Fearful Scourge In Bombay. _ BOMBAY, Jan. 9.—The Times of India, in an article on the bubonic plague which is ravaging the city, says that since the outbreak of the plague the population of Bombay has been reduced one-half and that the weekly mortality has averaged 200 per 1,000. , Hilton, Hughes & Co.

BLIND, 's‘u’T DON’T MIND IT. Miss Fannie Crosby Devotes Her Life to the Writing of Hymns, Brooklyn has been the home of many men and women whose names are known throughout the length. and breadth of the land. Among all these celebrities few are better known by their works or more beloved by the masses of the people than Miss Fannie Crosby, whose hymns are sung in the churches and homes of every State in the Union. ‘No one would think, to see the cheer- ful face of the woman, that she was totally blind, had, in fact, been sight- less since early childhood. Miss Crosby ‘has borne her afliiction without com- plaining, and'even looks upon it as being for the best, for it has enabled her to concentrate all her abilities upon the composing of hymns. When delivering an address a few years ago she spoke of the joy that shouldbe hersand a blind friend’s then present, when they should be called home, and for the first time view a face, that of their Saviour and their God. . Miss Crosby has devoted her ener- gies almost exclusively to hymn writ- ing, over four thousand hymns and poems hearing her signature. She com- poses more readily at night, and most of her work is done at that time. the morning she will go over it in her mind until all the lines are smooth and rhythmical, and then dictate to an amanuensis. : She writes on an average eight hymns a week and has written many Easter services, Christmas carols and :antatas. She is peculiarly fitted for her work, as she knows the Scriptures almost by heart, and passages suit- able to every phrase of religious ex- perience come readily to her mind. “Safe in the Arms of Jesus” was -,-o:::po'sed for Dr. W.

The Clock ot‘ the Dead Kings. Perhaps the most peculiar clock in the world is that in a tower in the court-yard of the Palace of Versailles. It has but a single band, and is known as “L’Horloge de la Mort du Roi” to the French people, and to all other Eu- ropeans by the words which signify It has no works, but consists merely of a face and a single hand, the face, being an imitation of the sun. Upon the death of a king in any part of Europe the hand is set at the moment of his de- mise, and remains in that position un- til another king passes away. This curious custom is said to have origi- nated in the time of Louis XIII. The “Clock of the Dead Kings” is about the only relic of royalty in Versailles that escaped the furious mobs of the time of the French Revolution. Frightened by Horses. ‘ Dr. Walker, :1 prospector in Alaska, recently took some horses up withhim’ from Wa‘shington. At the first Indian village the sight of the horses drove all the dogs howling into the woods. The children dropped their rude plays things and fled. crying; into the huts. The men and. women stood their ground. although in open-eyed won- rlcr. After much inducement they were llmllv prevailed upon to approach the bore s. mu! their * wonder knew no how. (1 '.

How it; Attracts Them and Other Animals Has Been Much Noticed. One night half a. dozen persons were gathered in the parlor of an Adiron- ' (lack home. listening to a skilled play- cr, who, as a woodsman said, “could make a planner talk,” when it was ob- served that the mice were acting in an unusual manner. The ordinary con- duct of mice when they hear piano music is to merely rattle the plaster, but on this night they squeaked and squealed and rattled the plaster as they had never done before. The rush of the rodents died away after the mu- sic stopped, but it was hours before the last squeak was heard. One of the human listeners was a boy who had some little skill as a bar- monica player, and he went frequently to the woods. where. with the aid of the instrument, he succeeded in call- ing chipmunks, red squirrels, and, on one occasion, a woodchuck, besides wood mice—including the deer mouse —and the smaller birds. The mice chiefly ran about the player, with now and then a squeak, but sometimes a low strain with slight modulations would seem to drive them insane, and then, without hesitation, they would run over the player, as if he had been a stump. The squirrels were less de- monstrative—New York Sun. A NEW FRENCH GhOCK. The Decimal System to Denote the Hours, Instead of the 01d Roman Letters. . The Geographical Bureau» of the French Army has adopted and urges for general use a clock in which the decimal system is employed. The de- cimal is a passion with the French. On the face of the new watch our old friends eleveh and twelve o’clock are no longer to be seen, the numerals from 1 to 10 being, employed. The day, from midnight to the midnight follow- ing, is-to be divided into 100 equal parts known as “cos.” The sub-divi- sions, according to the decimal plan, are “decices,” or tenths, “centices,” or hundredths, "millices," or thousandths. Oneof the main divisions, the “ces,” is equal to 14 minutes and 24 seconds, or a quarter of an hour. , It is urged that under this system the labor of calculation will be dimin- ished by tvv‘o-thir'ds, and the chances of mathemathical error from 4 to 1. It will be a long time, however, before the general public will agree that 25 ces, or its decimal equivalent, sounds as well as 6 a. In. Cardinal Newman. Cardinal Newman, accordingtto his life-long friend, Mr. Froude, bore a. remarkable resemblance to Julius Caesar. Not only in features, in the very peculiar lines about the mouth, and in the poise of the head, was the likeness striking, but in mental characteristics as well. Like “the mightiest Julius,” the Eng~ lish priest had an original force of character, clearness of intellect, inde- pendence of judgment, contempt of conventionalities, and imperious self- reliance, united with a sweetness, ten- derness, generosity, and affectionate- ness tht seldom coexist, and in their conjunction make the personality of their possessor most fascinating—Har- uer‘s Bazar. liothschild’s Reply.
