The Largest Is Over Eight Feet and the Smallest Two Feet. ‘The larg2st and smallest skeletons of humans ever preserved are kept In the museum of the Royal College of Surgeons, in Lincoln's Inn Fields, London. One Is eight feet four inches in height. The other is less than two feet. Charles Byrne, the famous Irish giant, who was more generally known as O’Brien, died in 1783, when he was twenty-two years eld. His capacity for liquor was in keep- ing with his huge physical proportions. So keen wes his anguish over losing ail his property—to wit, a £300 note—that ho drank a cask of ale in one day. The day following he was dead. Byrne had a great dread of becoming a @iasecting room subject. He made a bar- gain with a fisherman before he died to take his body out into the channel and throw it overboard. Hunter, the English surgeon, learned of this arrangement, and by paying the fish- ermen $500 he prevailed upon them to car- ry out their bargain to the letter, attach a rope to the body and drag it up again after it had been immersed. The fishermen served two masters and Hunter got the body. The tiny skeleton fs that of Caroline Cracham!, the Sicilian dwarf, who was exhibited in Europe in the early part of the century. The child did not grow after birth, and befor? she reached her teens she died. Her body, it is said, was sold to a Brit- ish surgeon by her parents. Beside the giant's frame stands one of the boots he wore when he died. The skel- eton of the dwarf can be slipped into it as easily as a pipe stem. ——+e+—_____ The Little New Woman’s Version. From the Chicago Interior. A little girl in the Fourth (Dr. Hall's) Chicago Church hes made a valuable con- tribution to the new woman literature. She told her mamma the story of Adam and Eve. “Dod, He made Adam, and He put him tn a big garden, an’ Adam he was so, so lonesome; ’n then He putted him to sleep, He did; ’n then He took out his trains and made a woman of the brains, "n then Adam, he wasn’t lonesome no more. Question of Their Admission te the New Church Conference. COUNCIL OF MINISTERS IN FAVOR The Subject of Missions Treated of at Length. ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The question of sdmitting women as dele- gates to the New Church conference came up for consideration before the council of ministers in session at the National Church this morning. The action taken upon the question was not final, but it was agreed to make a favorable report upon the propo- sition to the conference itself, the body which has final jurisdiction. Rev. 8, 3. Seward presided at the meeting of ministers this morning, and the religious exercises were conducted by Rev. Mr. Brown. The ‘committee appointed yesterday to consider the question of ordaining M. De- cembre as the minister for the Paris society reported favorably and the matter will be recommended to the conference for action. As to Women Delegntes. ‘The most important discussion of the day was started by the report of a special com- wittee recommending that the conference adopt an amendment to the constitution providing for the recognition of women del- egates. The proposition met with consider- able opposition and was discussed for the better part of an hour. As at present con- stituted, the conference consists of all New Church’ ministers as ex-officio members, two delegates-at-large from each stale as- sociation and one delegate for every fifty members in the several societies. Rev. Mr. Mann offered as a substitute to the report a motion to the effect that the proposed change to the constitution is not necessary at the present time. Several of the minis- ters expressed the opinion that the time is pot ripe for such a radical departure, and that it would be better to make haste slow- ly. When it came to a vote, however, the substitute was lost by a vote of 21 to » and then the recommendation embodied In the report was''atlopted. The matter now gves to the conference, and it would hardly be safe to regard the vote as an indication of the ultimate fate of the proposition. Rev. Mr. Ager presented a report to be transmitted to the conference on the sub- ject of New Church education. The report commented favorably upon the paper read by Rev. Mr. Whitehead yesterday, and urged the necessity of additional funds for educational purposes and a larger endow- ment for Urbana University. The Subject of Mixsions. Some minor matters of business were attended to, and the council devoted the rest of the morning to the consideration of papers on the subject of missions. Rev. Willard H. Hinckley spoke on “The Quali- fications of a Missionary;’ Prof. T. F. Wright, on “Missionary Districts,” and Rev. J. C. Herrick, on “Missionary Work.” Rey. Mr. Wright, who is the chairman of the board of missions, read a paper, in which he described the districts into which the mission field is divided, and showed how far these districts are now supplied by the board or otherwise. Out of twenty- two districts in America he showed that fourteen are provided for, while all have at least some care. In the foreign field the Americen conference and the English coh- ference are attending to Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Austria, with some provision also made for India and Africa. The French brethren are act- ing for themselves. At the session of the council this after- noon the cluss on soclology was to the fere, and several papers were read on the’ tkeme, “The Relation of the Kingdom of This Werld to the Kingdom of the Lord.” Among those wno presented papers were Rey. John ‘A. Hayes, Prof. Wright and Rey. E. D. Daniels of Laporte, Ind. Sociological Reform. Mr. Daniels said that the church is but a larger individval and- that as the in- dividual has a civil as well as.a spiritual side to him,.so does the church. In her spiritual capacity she is to attend purely to the regeneration of men’s hearts, but in her civil capacity she is to promote sociological reform in every wise way. Civil federations can receive delegates from the churea in her civil capacity; for civil federations are composed of inen of all religious beliefs and of no religious Delief. The church in her treatment of civic reform should distinguish between eternal principles of right and justice and those petty party questions concerning which all men differ. The former she should treat, the latter she should not. An individual citizen may treat party ques- tions to his heart's content, but the church is the church of the democrat and of the republican, where men come to worship the Lord ‘alone, ard every person should know that his party views will not be assailed there. Rev. Adolph Roeder of Orange, N. J., cited ‘from the writings of Swedenborg a number of quotations setting forth his views on the question of the relation of the church to sociological reforms. This evening the annual meeting of the Alumni Association of the Theological School will be held. The Rev. Julian K. Smyth of Boston will preside. Address by the Rev. Louls G. Hoeck of Newtonville, Mass., on “The Need For a Practical Ideal on Entering the Ministry; and by the Rev. Adolph Roeder of Orange, N. J., on “Pres- ent Opportunities Which the World Offers for the Work cf Well-Equipped New Church Ministers.” An opportunity will be offered for general discussion. Yesterday’s Late Sessions. The principal feature of the session yes- terday afternoon was the annual address to the council delivered by Rey. Edwin Gould of Montreal. Before that, however, the committee on biblical study reported two papers on the subject: “The New Church, and the Higher Criticism,” by Rev. Edwin Gould of Montreal, and Rev. Jacob E. Werren, professsor of Hebrew in the New Church Theological Seminaary at Cambridge, Mass. Rey. Mr. Gould, in his address to the council, spoke on the theme, “The Revela- ttons Revealed,” and in the course of his address he presented Swedenborg’s theory of interpretation of the book, according to an internal or spiritual meaning, regarding the letter as a grand symbol of spiritual truth. He concluded his paper as follows: Swenderborg’s Revelations, “The Lord, himself, has opened the sight of Swedenborg’s spirit, as he declares, and taught him, and the explanations which he has given are not from himself or from any man or any angel, but from the Lord alone. While the churches around us are still groping in the darkness as to the mean- ing of this book, and their scholars and expositors, many of them vigwing it as devoid of any consistent meaning or pur- pose, and so rejecting it as a part of the canon of the inspired Scripture, we are permitted to see it as one of the great- est of all the inspired books of the holy world, and especialiy as respects ourselves and the New Church of our time. “As the apostles and early Christians found in the prophets of the Old Testa- ment and in the gospels of the New, as also in the letier of this book, to some extent, the charter of their faith aad the ground of their existence and organization as a church, distinct and separate from the old dispensatiom of the Jewish Scriptures, so do we, in thts prophetic book of the New Tes- tament, above all and in its spiritual in- terpretation, see the charter of our faith and the ground of our separate existence and organization as a church today. “In this last and crowning book of the whole world are contained the prophecies and predictions relating to the time of the Lord’s second coming and the establish- ment of the New Jerusalem dispensation, as they are nowhere else to be found, al- though scattered intimations and predic- tions of them occur, as we know, through- out the New Testament, and even in places in the Old. But in the spiritual ex- positions of the wonderful visions and Imagery of this book, as now laid open, we have a clear and full account of these things, and the divine promise and charter, PR ee a it of cl ing . a mech iso ona oa cies aan ; fe were closed three days mak four floors of our stores. stylish, and beautiful lines ‘we want you to ceme and take ng to and rebuild.

Reception by Mra. Edson. There was no session of the council last evening, but in its stead Mra, John Joy Edson gave a handsome reception in honor of the visiting ministers and their wives. The handsome drawing rooms were thrown in one, and in the dining room a collation was served from a table decorated with pink carnations. Mrs. Edson was assisted in receiving by her guests, Mrs. S.

Bibliomaniacs in all parts of the world will be delighted to learn that 2 copy of Benaventure's “Speculum Vite Christi," a rare and precicus Caxton, has been dis- covered by Mr. William May, the public Itrarian at Birkenhead, acto&s the Mersey frcm Liverpool. Mr. May~was recently rummaging through a lo of discarded books from a lawyer's Mpra}y. He was startled to find among them’an old black- letter volume attached t® mother aged work. At first he thougit' that ho had fcund simply a specimen of €akton’s print. Subsequently. he discover hat he had come upon an even greater. ratity than he had imagined. aire For several days Mr. May. {fas inclined to doubt that the book he had found was really priceless, After consulting many au- thorities, however, he found that he had in his pcesession a copy df ‘BYnaventure'’s “Speculum Vite Christ!,” as itds spelled in the original. This edition was printed by Wynpyn de Worde in 1494, the year in which he returned to the ‘use ‘of Caxton’s types. Its exceptional ravity’‘consists in the fact that it is the onlyredition in which Caxton’s No. 7 type was ever used, the type in this case being used for the side notes. There is only one other copy of this precious book known to be in existence, according to the Messrs. Blades and Duff, the great authorities on Caxtoniana. This copy is owned by the Earl of Leicester. The earl is so careful of the book that he has never put it on exhibition, even refus- ing to send it to the great Caxton exhibi- tion of 1877. He has not allowed experts to examine it. Although not the most valuable book in the world, Mr. May's treasure may be con- sidered practically the rarest, there being orly two copies in existence. In spite of this fact, and the great money value con- ected with the copy found at Birkenhead, the volume had been used as a scrap book for children. It ts illustrated with a large number of beautiful Caxton wood cuts, which had been used to amuse babies in- stead of thrilling bibliomaniacs. ALABAMA REPUBLICANS. The Populist Convention Makes a Concession, The McKinley convention at Montgomery, Ala., remained in session all night Tuesday. Up to 1 a.m. yesterday there seemed to be a settled determination to nominate a Straight-out sound money republican ticket. The populists had coquetted in vain with the McKinleyites. This brought up the dis- cussion of a subject which lasted until break of day. After being in session thir- teen hours without action, the McKinley convention adjourned sine die. Yesterday the populists’ state convention delegates were argued with for five solid hours before they would agree to the nom- ination of two candidates suggested by the McKinley convention, and just before the job was completed two republican mem- bers of the warring faction, who were spectators, became involved in a quarrel, end two guns flashing caused many to hurt cover. The failure of the McKinley faction to put out a sound money state ticket is a disappointment to many sound money re- publicans. A TELEGRAPHIC EXPERIENCE, He Dropped Off'to Sleep, but He Was Not Conscious of It. From the Pittsburg Commeretal Gazette. Said the telegrapher: “Jones was night operator at a town near Altoona, on the Pennsylvania railroad. He had lost a great deal of sleep and was very tired. The night wore alng and trains were few. It was hard to keep awake. Finally the operator in the signal tower next to the west report- ed No. 4, the express, passing east. The track wes clear and Jones pulled the white signal and waited for No. 4. He had al- most fallen asleep when he was aroused by the roar of tHe train as No. 4 swept Past the white signal. He saw the red lights at the rear of the train as she dis- appeared around the curve, and he reported her to the operator at the signal towers next east and west. Then he waited to hear that she had passed the tower east. Three or four minutes was all it should have taken her to reach that tower, but he waited long after that and no word came to him. He called up Smith, the operator there, and asked him if No. 4 had passed. Smith said ‘No.’ They talked over the wire and concluded that she had broken down or been wrecked between the two (owcrs. “At about that time the train dispatcher called up and asked anxiously where No. 4 was, Jones said that she had passed his tower, and Smith was sure she had not passed his. Everybody was wide awake now, for the train was certainly lost, and a lost train is a serious thing on a railroad. The dispatcher thought that she might have slipped past without Smith seeing her, but the towers all along the road be- yond declared she had not passed them. A freight going west was stopped st Jones’ tower, and the conductor was asked if he had seen No. 4 between the two towers. He said that there was no sign of her. “Then the perspiration began to stand out on the operators and dispatchers. The track between the two towers lies along the river. A high stone wall supports it. The only possible explanation seemed to he that No. 4 had gone over the wall into the river. She could not have gone up into the air. Nearly an hour had passed. The river seemed the only place where she could be. The freight conductor received orders to uncouple his engine and run back slowly. He ran back past two towers, but could see nothing of No. 4 on the track or in the river. There was not even a displaced rail where she could have gone over the wall. ‘Then he was ordered to run slowly west to see how things looked. there. About half way between Jones’ tower and the one west of him the express was found, with a broken cylinder head. She had never pass- ed Jones at all. Jones had dreamed it, al- though he declares to this day that he was wide awake all the time. Jones was in bad repute for a time, but he was not dis- charged, as he was a good man, and his mistake had not caused a wreck. ———+e-___ Marriage Question. From the Rofbury Gazette.
