EPISCOPAL CONVENTION'.
THE SUPREME LAW MAKING BODT OF
THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
The supreme law waking body of the
Protestant Episcopal church of tholJnited
Slates, the general convention of 1892,
assembled at Enmnuel church in Balti
more, Wednesday, October 5th, and be
pan its three week's session. Tho scene
at the church was impressive as the ven
erable bishops, clergymen and laymen
marched up the aisles to their respective
seats. The bishops, of whom there were
sixty three preseut, occupied seats upon a
platform which had been constructed in
front of the altar. The delegates were
seated in the body of tho church. They
numbered over four hundred. Admis
sion to the church for the celebration of
the holy communion, the only feature of
this rooming's gathering, was by ticket.
Twelve hundred were issued, and as many
more applications were necessarily refused.
Nearly every seat was occupied. The
services were conducted by Bishop Wil-
Hams, of Connecticut, the senior bishop
of the church. He was assisted by Bish
ops Potter, of New York, Littlejohn, of
Long Island, Doane, of Albany, Dudley,
of Kentucky, and others. Tho celebrants
and all the other bishops were in vest
ments. The sermon was preached by
the Right Rev. R. H. Wiliner, bishop of
Alabama.
The house of bishops assembled at 9:30
p. m. and organized by the re-election of
Rov. Dr. William Tatlock, rector of St,
John's church, Stamford, Conn., as sec
retary. Dr. Tatlock appointed as his
assistant Rev. Dr. C. C. Tiffany, of New
York. Bishop Neeley, of Maine, was
elected chairman of the house, and it will
be his duty to preside in the absence of
tho senior bishop, Right Rev. John Wil
Hams, of Conn. Tho meeting of the
house was simply for organization and
as soon as this was effected, the names of
the deceased binhops recited, and prayers
offered for them, the seven bishops who
have been consecrated since last conven
tion were introduced. The house then
adjourned until to-morrow.
The assembling of the house of depu
tics brought together a distinguished
body of clergymen and laymen. Among
them were Chief Justice Melville V.
Fuller, of the United . States Supreme
Court, who is a representative of the
diocese of Chicago; Dr. Sethhow, prod
dent of Columbia college, New York and
ex-mayor of Brooklyn, one of the depu
ties from the Long Island diocese; ex
Oovernor Henry P. Baldwin, of Michi
gao, from the Michigan diocese; Mr.
Erastus Corning, Mr. Hamilton FUh,
Mr. J. Pieirepont Morgan, and Mr. W,
R. Culling, of New York. The depu
ties were called at 3:30 by the secretary,
Rev. Dr. Chas. L. Hutching, of Concord.
After the roll call, nominations for Presi
dent were received. Rev. Dr. Joseph
Carry, of Albany, placed in nomination
the Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix, of Trinity
church, New York. A number of dele
gates seconded the nomination, lhe
rules were suspended and the secretary
instructed to cast the vote of the house
for Dr. Dix. Taking the chair, Dr. Dix
thanked the convention for its testimo
nial of esteem in Ins re-election tor a
third term, aud spoke of the important
work to be transacted during the session.
Poisoned by Scrofula Is the sad
story of so many lives made miserable
through no fault of their own. Scrofula
is morn especially than ant other hered'
itarv disease, and for this Steele rcsjon:
Arising from impure and insufficient
blood, the disease locates itself in the
lymphatics, which are composed of white
tissues; there is a foetal life when the
whole body oopsists of white tissues, and
therefore the unborn child is espeoially
susceptible to this dreadful disease. But
there is a remedy for scrofula, whether
tinrerlitnrv or acouired. It is Hood's
Sarsaparilla, which by its powerful effect
on the blood, exnols all trace of the dis
ease and gives the vital fluid the quality and
nnlnr of health. If vou decide to take
Hood's Sarsaparilla do Dot accept any
substitute.

PRESIDENT HARRISON
FULLY COMMITTED TO THE FORCE BILL.
Inaugural Address, March 4, 1889:
"It is very gratifying to observe the gen
eral interest now being' manifested in tho
reform of election laws. Those who have
been for years calling attention to the
pressing necessity of throwing about the
ballot box and about the elector further
safeguards in order that our elections
might not only be free and pure, but
might clearly appear to be so, will wel
come the accession of any who did not so
soon discover the need of reform. The
National Congress has not, as yet, taken
control of elections in that case over
which the Constitution gives it jurisdic
tion, but has accepted and adopted the
election laws of the several States, pro
vided penalties for their violation and a
method of supervision. Only an ineffi
ciency in the State laws, or an unfair or
partisan administration of them, could
suggest a departure from this policy."
First Annual Message, December 8,
1889: "The power to take the whole
direction and control of the elections of
members of the House of Representatives
is clearly given to the General Govern'
ment. A partial and qualified supervise
ion of these elections is now provided
by law, and, in my opinion, this law may
be so strengthened and extended as to
secure, on the whole, better results than
can bo attained by taking all the processes
of such election into Federal control.
The colored man should be protected in
all of his relations to the Federal Govern
ment, whether as litigant, juror or wit
nesses in our courts, as an elector or mem
ber of Congress, or as a peaceable travel
er upon our interstate railways."
Second Annual Message, December 1,
1890: "In my last Annual Message I
suggested that the development of tho
existing law, providing a Federal super
vision of Congressional elections, offered
an effective method of these abuses. The
need of such a law has presented itself in
many parts of the country, and its whole
some restraints and penalties will be use
ful to all. The samo law
provides for the appointment of Deputy
United'Statcs Marshals to attend the
polls, support the supervisors iu the dis
charge of their duties and to arrest pet
sons violating the election laws.
0
The present law stops just short of effec,
tivencss, for it surrenders to the local
authorities all control over the classifies
tion which establishes a prima facie right
to a seat in the House of Representatives.
This defect should be cured."
Third Annual Message, December 9,
1891: "Ad attempt was made in the
last Congress to bring to bear tho oousti
tutional poweis of the General Govern
mene for the correction of frauds against
the suffrage. It is important to know
whether the opposition to such measures
is really rested in particular features, sup
posed to be objectionable, or includes any
proposition to give to the election laws of
the united states adequacy to the cor
lection of grave and acknowledged evils.

THIRD PARTY EXPENSES.
REPUBLICANS COMPLAINING OF THE
MONEY SPENT IN THE SOUTH.
Some of the republican leaders are be
ginning to complain about the expense
of their campaign in connection with the
third party in tho Southern States and
they are wondering whether after the votes
are counted it will not be found that the
third party political workers have caried off
all the gain and left the republicans noth
ing but the experience.Thcy sent $70,000
into Alabama to help Kolb in his fight for
the governorship, and, though the returns
on that investment were not very en
couraging, they have, it is uriders'ood,
yielded to the earnest solicitations of
needy republicans and third party men in
sevoral of the Southern States and have
contributed quite large sums of money for
the Presidential campaign.
One republican, who has given con
siderable attention to the setuation in the
South, remarked to-day: "The only
trouble with the people's party is it has
no people in it. It is largely made up of
a lot of politicians who could get nothing
from either of the old parties, and who
are working it for the money there is in
it to them individually. Beyond carrying
few congressional districts I do not be
lieve it will cut any figure in the Novem
ber elections." One certain effect of the
third party movement in the South is that
it will arouse tho democrats, and there is
every reason to believe that the entire
vote of the Southern State will be more
nearly polled in the approaching election
than it has been for many years past. In
many of the States where the opposition
has beca merely nominal heretofore the
third party has put a real rival in the
field, and the consequence is that while
the campaign in the North has been less
energetic than usual in the Southern State
it has been full of life and vigor, and
many democrats who have not felt the
necessity of political activity for the past
ten or twelve years are now actively in the
harness, and will get out a party vote
larger than has been cast in any recent
election . Washington Cor. Baltimore

THE HAND OF PROVIDENCE
NARROW ESCAPE FROM AN AWFUL
DEATH.
Henderson Gold Leaf,
Mr. G. A. Cunningham tells us of a
narrow escape from death in which the
hand of Providence seems plainly visible,
At Kittrell last Saturday a little boy 5 or
6 years old, son of Mr. J. J. Stone, while
playing in the gin house, fell into the
cotton press through an opening in the
side of the building.
There was some cotton at the bottom
and the little fellow was completely buried
in the soft fleecy staple. 'Hands went on
putting m more cotton preparatory to
pressing out a bale, the hum of the
machinery deadening the child's crys so
he could not be heard.
At this juncture tho band slipped and
the gin was stopped. Then the little
fellow was heard crying and was promptly
rescued from his impending danger. A
few minutes later and he would hi
smothered to death in the botton, the
powctful pressure of the wnchine turned
upon him and his little body would have
been packed in the bale, and the chanocs
are that his sudden and mysterious disnp
lemanoe would have reiniiiiicu a secret
until it was opened iu some foreigo
market. What force of circumstances
or unseen hand threw the belt off the liu
and stopped the machinery at that ciilioal
moment:

BROWN'S IRON BITTERS
TO PRESERVE HEALTH.
ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE SECRETARY OF
THE STATE BOARD OF 11 EALTII.
In the death of Dr. Thomas F. Wood,
of Wilmington, late Secretary of the
North Carolina Board of Health, the
State lost one of its most patriotic and
useful sons. He was an able, conscien
tious and accomplished physician, an am
ateur botanist of note, editor and propri-
ior from its beginning of tho present
North Carolina Medical Journal, always
in the forefront of those working for the
elevation and advancement of his profes
sion, and doiog mrre to promote both
than any man we ever had; but the near
est thing to his heart, seoond only to his
love for his Divine Master, was the North
Carolina Boaid of Health, which whs
originated by him and kept alivo durina;
the years of its feeble infancy only by his
personal devotion and sacrifice of both
time and money, and through it the
welfare of the people of his State.
Having been honored by the Board in
my election to the Secretaryship marY
vacant by his decease, I cannot .assuti"
the duties and responsibilities of the offie
he adorned without thus testifying t,
his high and admirable qualities, the loi
of which is irreparable.
In takiug up this work I feel that ii
would be well to remind the people of the
State that the Board of Health was cre
ated for their benefit for the purpose of
acquiring and distributing as thoroughly
ossible, information and instruction
as to the best means of preventing dis
ease. Any citizen of the State therefore
desiring such information would confer
favor by writing to the Secretary, who
would cheerfully answer his inquiries.
The subject of pre-eminent interest
at present is the epidemic of cholera
threatening our country, The board has
watched the indications with sleepless
eye, and has given the subject the most
thoughtful consideration, but it has not
deemed the danger imminent enough at
any time to justify publications which
would probably excite and alarm unnec
essarily many of our people. The danger
is daily growing less, and the board does
not anticipate any trouble during the
coming winter, but fears the awakening
in warm weather of spring of the germs
which may slip into the country during
the cold weather, when the vigilance of
the heath officers at our ports is liable to
be relaxed. Should its fears bo justified
the people may rest satisfied that it will
exhaust every means within its power to
keep it out of our State. From time to
time the seoretary proposes to publish in
all the papers in the State kind enough
to print them, short practical articles on
matters relating to the preservation of
health. In the meantime, if you need
information or advice on such subjects,
write to
Richard H. Lewis,
Secretary, Raleigh, N. C.

A QUICK and ABSOLUTE CURE for the
TOBACCO HABIT!
Next to the whiskey traffic, it is the
most expensive and loathsome habit of the
American people. The annual cost runs
up into millions. The average tobacco
user pays to gratify this unnatural appetite
from five to ten times more than he gives
to support the Church. Shame on us.
This Cure has not yet failed where the
party was in earnest about quitting and
followed directions. Thousauds have been
