Many churches yesterday adopted the changes in the ritual which the Episcopal convention, now in session in New York, has ordered. The changes are: After repeating the opening sen- tences of the prayer book the confession and absolution of the morning service is omitted, and Lord’s Prayer immediately follows these sentences. A psalm may be selected where the Psalter for the day is long. This materially shortens the long service where the holy com- munion is administered. The confession and absolution thus omitted is read at the evening service, as they are the same in both services. These changes are optional with the rector of the church. In the convention Saturday quite a commo- tion was caused over Dr. Huntington’s resolu- tion for a shor office of prayer for sundry oc- casions, The bubject was reopened by Dr. Egur of central New York. Dr. Burgwin of Pittsbur; meees the matter would not again be discussed and said he had voted in favor of the resolution and believed thoroughly in the ex- cellence of the proposed short office. Judge | Wilder opposed the procrastination which ani- mated # certain small minority. Dr. Egar moved to postpone the resolution, but the mo- tion was lost, first in a viva voce vote and then by orders and dioceses. At ten minutes past | the set hour of adjournment Dr. Huntington's resolution was put and carried. Clerical vote— | ayes, 28; nays, 14; divided. 2. Lay vote—ayes, 24; nays, 14; divided, 3. This finally disposes of an important matter | already proposed and rejected by two previous | conventions so far as the house of deputies is | concerned, A ROMISH PROPOSAL. The next resolution was a great surprise to the majority of the delegates, it having passed the bishops on the evening preceding, and it was not believed that it would be acted upon before Monday at least. The change was in the communion service and read thus: “There shall be no celebration of the Lord's supper except there be some to commune with the priest.” Dr. Huntington at once took the floor and moved that the house non-concur. “The pro- posed rubric is thoroughly pernicious,” he said, “It is bringing in under the cloak of liturgical revision matters which should not come up be- fore the house. It is precisely in line with the doctrine of the church of Rome, and is pro- posed by those who are seeking to introduce the dogma of the eucharist. I have no charge of idolatry to bring against the devout Roman- | ist, but many of the pretexes attempted to be | brought into this convention are the very es- sence of idolatry.” Dr. Jibson of central New York, took issue with the speaker. most desirable things that the holy communion should be restored to its primitive condition as the Christian passover. ‘The same rubric had been covered in the book of common prayer for ages and was still in the Anglican book. No | good reason hadever been assigned for its omission by the revisors of 1789, The proposed rubric was defeated by a cleri- cal vote, a majority of the lay de; i clearly in favor of adopting the change. balloting stood: Clerical—Ayes, 23; n: divided, 1, Lay—Ayes, 19; na} ADJOURNMENT. A motion was made that the rules be sus- pended to allow the house to vote on the ques- tion of adjourning on Thursday, October 24. The question was put without discussion and carried unanimously. The house will therefore adjourn on Thursday of this week at 12 noon. eee A CHANGE OF FAITH. A Noted Clergyman Retires from the Episcopal Church. Rev.

His Routine in the Country—Allowed a More Liberal Diet by His Physicians. From the London Standard, The prince’s health during the last three years, especially in 1888, has been much better than it used to be. In the autumn of 1883, in obedience to his physician, he had to deny him- self many things at table and to give up not only shooting, of which he had till then been very fond, but also long walks and horse exer- cise. Now, so far as we know, he is not obliged todeny himself anything, eats of almost all dishes and is not required to limit himself in the enjoyment of the treasures of his cellar, as he used to be at the time when, besides an ob- stinate and depressing stomachic complaint, neuralgia and sleeplessness tormented him al- most incessantly, whether at work or at reat, in the city or in the country. The stomachic complaint seems to be quite cured now, the torture in the face is much rarer and sleep no longer eludes him. His annual journeys to drink the waters of Kissingen and to bathe in those of Gastein are no longer necessary, He often takes long walks, and he rides out for hours. If he takes holidays it isonly that he may refresh himself in verdant solitudes, feel like a country gentle- man again, and seek the forest stillness, where “one hears only the woodpecker.” He never, indeed, quite attains this isolation either at Vriedrichsruh or at Varzin. The world follows him on railways and telegraph wires, for it needs him, though he does not need it. It comes to him in official envelopes and bundles of documents, and in the shape of visits from German and foreign ministers, ambassadors, envoys and counsellors, who all bring more or less important reports and questions with them. There 1s, therefore, always business and work— not so much, especially not such a heap of “small matters” as in Berlin, but always more than enough. He is assisted in his work by Geheimrath von Rottenberg. chief of the im- erial chancery, and a secretary, who always tave plenty to do, And what the great empire does not demand of the chancellor's working power 18 claimed by the little empire of his es- ta tes, The chancellor’s day, both at Friedrichsruh and at Varzin, is arranged as follows: In the morning, work at the writing table; then, if the weather is good, a walk or a_ride, sometimes also a drive on the good macadamized roads of the neighborhood; lunch at 2 with his family, Rottenburg, the secretary, and the guests that may have arrived, during which the chancellor reads his letters and telegrams and tells Rot- tenburg how to deal with them. He then goes to his study again, and sometimes takes a sec- ond walk, ride, or drive, alone, or with a guest. Dinner is at 7, after which coffee is drunk in side room and the guests smoke cigars, whi the prince retires to a little sofa behind the table with the lamps, and takes one of the three long pipes awaiting him there with their porcelain bowls fullof Varinas. He takes little or no part in the conversation of the company, which is carried on mostly in whispers. He reads newspapers, among others the larger Hamburg ones. After an hour he retires, and does not appear at the 10 o'clock tea, probably because he goes early to bed. oo —______ An Inn Run Entirely by Women. Letter from Wales in the Chicago Inter-Ocean, This place is advertised in the bills as the most picturesque spot in Wales, and is the favorite resort of the English tourist who is near-sighted in one eye, and who is arapacious animal and insists on having the hotel slippers brought him with his boiled egg in the morn- ing. We are stopping uta place of entertain- ment ‘for man and beast,” which is the popular English way of saying man and woman, called the Bridge End inn. It isa sort of woman's rights establishment. The proprietor, who is as yet looking on our small quantity of luggage still buxom. The clerk is a young woman more buxom than the landlady, who in the intervals of clerking mixes drinks behind the bar with set of grip-car brakes, A customer drops in and says, ‘*’Awf an’ ‘awf, same as usual.” Then the muscular young female athlete mans the brakes and gives the machine a turn ahead. somewhere in the insides of the thing she finds a glass of redruin. There is more ceremony in England over drawing a glass of bock beer than there is in America in putting out a fire. The -‘boots” is also a girl, younger and more buxom than the clerk, When we arrived she looked at our feet in a purely professional and platonic way and her gaze gave the sensitive nature of Flics much pain. He rolled up his feet as though his shoes had been put irf curl by a slow, warping fire, and he has been toeing it since then in a very plaintive manner. The ‘ostler is also a female, and her buxomness is something in the gorgeous red sunset line, as is also that of the cook. Buxomness or no buxomness, I cannot get used to the female hotel clerk. I miss the gay | whoop of “Front!” and the banging of the silver-plated bell. I miss tie spectacle of the | diamond-grooming act. I fcel a strange ro- uctance in going up to the counter, hunging my clbow on the same, and confiding in these English girls my troubles with the ball porter. | Nor dol longer enjoy kicking about @ missing | sock when the laundry is thrown over the transom, with only a blushing maid to listen to my indignant query as to whether or not that hotel takes me for a one-legged saw-mill vete- ran. -oo-—______ He—“This is a nice state of things and we are | only four months married.

Galt Lake Dispatch to the New York Tribune. Hans Jesperson is » poor man, who lived with his wife at Goshen, a village in Utah county. Alice Horton was converted to Mor- monism by a missionary in Virginia last year and moved to “Zion” with a large company of the faithful. Alice was a widow, and made her living by doing washing. In this capacity she became acquainted with Hans, and he offered her a home as Mrs. Jesperson No. 2. She liked the idea, and the affair was properly arranged in the Endowment house here in the capital on April 8. The United States authori- ties heard of the case through some indiscre- tion on the part of the persons concerne @t the examination before a United States commissioner at Provo, which is the county seat of Utah county, not far from Goshen, made a clean breast of the matter. One of her statement tells a volume of trickery. She said: “I went into the Endow- ment house with Jesperson, ———s that I was to be married to him as his plural wife. I knelt at the altar, took hold of his hand, ‘heard a voice pronounce us man and wife—didn’t see any one or know who ke, and Iwas not told who it was.” So it is im- possible to fix the r ibility for this and other unions, Two of Jesperson’s daughters were present as witnesses before the commis- sioner, and testified as to Alice Horton's living in their mother’s house. Alice will soon come a mother. She and Jesperson were “bound over to await the action of the grand sary ie See and $5,000 bonds. The church authorities pretend to be entirely ignorant of the marriage. The mayor of Provo and an- other prominent Mormon went on the bonds of the accused, as if to show the community how firmly they discountenanced polygamy. ———— 0 The secrets of grand jury rooms will be bet- ter kept when the grand inquests are com} d of women.
