Weatever may be the case with St. Paul's, partial damage has already been sustained by the historic church of St. Mary-le-Bow, the beautiful tow- er of which already leans twenty-three inches out of the perpendicular. This, it is stated, is caused by the vibration of the adjoining tupenny tube. The company has agreed to pay £1,000 ($5,000) by way of compensation. Meantime, owing to-the dangerous condition of the belfry, the famous Bow Bells, that are turned again Dick Whittington, must remain silent until the necessary underpinning operations are completed.—New York Herald. Couldn’t Wear Shoes. Sumpter, UL, Sept. 9th—Mrs. J. B. Flanigan, of this place, has sutfered with dropsy for fifteen years. She was very bad that for the last three years not been able to wear her She had doctored all the time, shoes. but was gradually getting worse. Last winter Mr. Flanigan, who was very much discouraged, called for some medicine at Mr. J. J. Dale’s drug store in Carmi. Mr. Dale persuaded him to have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and he bought six boxes. His wife used five out of the six, before she was en- tirely cured. She is now as sound and well as ever she was, completely re- stored to health, and free from any symptom whatever of dropsy. To say that Mrs. Flanigan is pleaseé at her wonderful deliverance does not half express her feclings, and she and Mr. Flanigan are loud in their praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of Mr. Dala for recommending this wonderful rem- edy to them. The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills cured Mrs. Flanigan of such a severe ease of dropsy, after the doctors had given her up, has made them the most talked-of remedy in White county.

Jidbits of News we fora Scandinavians A REPLY TO FLODDEN, His Bishop Makes a Statement as to His Mission Here. When the Rev. Gustaf Floden,sa cler- gyman of the Swedish state church, stationed in one of the outlying parish- es of the diocese of Gothenburg, visited America last spring, he creaetd some- thing of a stir in the Augustana Swed- ish Lutheran church, by repudiating it as an offspring or daughter of the Swedish church. He repeatedly de- clared that the Swedish church was not Lutheran at all, and that its only affili- ated branch in this country was the Swedish Episcopal church, which he pretended to recognize as the church with which the members of the Swed- ishh church should ally themselves. Doubt was expressed as to Mr. Flod- en’s authority to “recognize” anything, and the following from the Augustana Journal, published at Rock Island, sus- tains the position taken by the clergy and laity of the Augustana church, that he exceeded his authority in making the statements he did in public ad- dresses and in newsparer interviews: “Our readers remember that we had some little to say of this minister of the Swedish state church some weeks ago. His actions were quite peculiar while in this country in reference to his treatment of the church of his fath- ers, and the manner in which he took up with those are anything but Luther- an. Ameng other things he set up the claim that he was commissioned by his bishop to investigate the work of the Swedish Episcopal church of this coun- try. But information has recently come to us that this claim was not correct. And our informant is none other than his own bishop. In replying to inquir- ies made along the line of the reverend clergyman’s claims, the bishop sent the following letter to Rev. K. N. Rabenius of Pontiac, R. L.: ““‘My Dear Pastor: I thank you for your letter. Even before the same came to hand IL had received one of a similar nature from Rev. Mr. Corneh of Centerville, R. I. The same reply which I sent him I now remit to you, also, viz., that Rev. Mr. Floden was granted a vacation for the purpose of pursuing studies at foreign universities —the exact wording of his-petition I do not remember—and that at the time this vacation was granted the chapter was in total ignorance as to whither he intended to repair. If, therefore, he has represented he has any instruc- tions from myself, or from the chapter, to visit congregations in America, his representations are entirely erroneous. [ received the first information of his visit to America from a notice in Ny Ecklesiastik Tidning. That he should have received an appointment in refer- ence to the Episcopal congregations yor will readily perceive to be utterly out of the question, particularly as you yourself well know how strictly the di- ocese of Gothenburg ho!ds on to the Lutheran faith and confessions. And this fiedlity to the faith of the fathers is not characteristic of this diocese alone. Faithfulness to our evangelica: Lutheran confessions is much more characteristic of the whole of our church to-day than was the case in many a day that has gone by. If a minister of our chugch has disseminat ed among our people in America other ideas, as if we were about to cast away our Lutheran faith, therat I feel indeed very sorry, and desire greatly that this erroneous impressicn be cor- rected. Be it thus! And may true Lutheranism be in America, as well as at home, better understood and re- ceived! The Lord grant you grace to work powerfully to the attainment of this end among our people in your country. I deem it just and proper that the pastors should publicly inform the people that Rey. Mr. Floden had no instruction whatever from the chap- ter of the diocese of Gothenburg, and that he alone is responsible for what he has spoken. Respectfully yours, —‘E. H. Rodhe.”’ A PASSION FOR FIRES. Princess Marie Always on Hand at Copenhagen Blazes. Princess Marie's passion for running to fires and associating with firemen Is a sore trial to the royal family of Den- mark and the source of mu and cven scandal, in the court. She aas been restrained by constant reproot from attending the ordinary drills, but, being self-willed, she cannot be kept away from the fires. The princess is a daughter of one of the oldest and proudest royal houses of Europe, numbering among its ancest- ors a most famous saint, Louis IX., king of France. Her father is the Duc de Chartras, grandson of the ill-fated Lous Phililppe. The survivors of our civil war will remember Chartras as a conspicuous aid to McClellan during the campaign of 1862. Some stray volumes dealing with the progress of fire fighting in America fell into Princess Marie’s hands; the great apparatus for saving life and property, the perfectly drilled horses, the dare- jJevils of laddies, engaged her attention. She studied the subject, traveled in- cog. to Berlin, Paris and London to view those portions of American fire- fighting machines adopted by the Iu- ropean cities, and returned an enthust- ast on the subject. And ever since she has borne the nick-name of ‘‘Fire-Lad- die Princess” among her royal brothers and sisters and cousins and aunts, while, as a matter of fact, she richly deserved the title for her devotion to the cause of fire-fighting in her adopted country. Old Neptune Had Ne Need of Teeth. ‘Wealth was washed up in the surf at That Copenhagen, which can scarcely be called a first-rate city in other re- spects, "has to-day the best-equipped fire department of any city outside of the United States and London is entire- ly due to Princess Marie’s initiative. King Christian has forbidden her to at- tend firemen’s drills-in-ordinary, but can’t prevent her from being the lead- ing figure at all parades and similar oc- casions when the boys show off. Whenever a fire breaks out in Copen~ hagen or neighborhood, day cr night, tbe princess, prcvided she is in in the city or on her nearby estate, is on hand, sneouraging the men and suggesting feats of skill! and daring to the officers. How she learns of every considerable blaze immediately after its outbreak, is no tquite clear; some courtiers as- sert that she san smell fire, others, feel it in her bones wh2n her favorite sport is on, but far more probable the fact is teleptcned to her in cipher, despite Frince Waldemar’s and the king’s or tests. At any rate, the king’s daughter-in- law is on deck whenever the long lad- ders follow the ergin and Forse, When the fire is in the country she comes on horsebeck, galloping all t way from her estate, the little castle of Berns- torff; in the city she uses a public con- veyance, placing her groom on the box to forestall police interference. If she is mounted, she keeps her seat as long as the fire lasts, overseeing every detail frcm*her elevated vositicn and carry- ing orders from one end of the line to the other. WORDS OF CHEER. ae ae : Skandinaven Talks of Chicago as an Ocean Port. Chicago papers are a little discour- aged over the failure to make Chicago an ocean port by the decree of the own- ers of the Midland Queen, which has been withdrawn from the ecean to ply only on the Great Lakes. Skendinaven utters words of cheer, and sys: “Chicago need not abandon, her faith in her future as an ocean port, though the experience of the Midland Queen is somewhat discouraging If it will con- sult the records of this port it will dis- cover that the Midland Queen was not ‘the first foreign-built ship to come di- rect from a European port to Chicago.’ Three Norwegian steamers have enter- ed and left the port of Chicago, carry- ing full cargoes both ways—Henrik Wergeland, in 1892, Xania in 1893 and Craggs in 1894. These vessels brought cargoes of herrings and other fish prod? ucts, returning direct to Norway load- ed with previsions, grain and flour. All of these Norwegian vessels made successful trips. They did not ‘stick’ in the canals nor grevnd in the St. Lawrence river. None of them had a single serious mishap, coming or going. All trips were profitable; money was saved on the freight both ways, the saving in the case of the Xania alone being $1,529.19." An Expensive Honar. Before making his famous cruise along the coast of Siberia, Baron Nor- denskjold was opposed to the royal cus- tom of decorating those who had been distinguished by various decorations, and had repeatedly declared his inten- tion never to accept one should any be offered him. When he had completeg his great voyage, however, he had to accept. So much pressure was brought to bear upon him by persons to whom he was under obligations for fitting out his expedition that he was obliged to lay aside his personal scruples and ac- cept a royal favor. This cost him dear, for Russia had intended to present him with a purse of 300,000 roubles in lieu of an order; but when it was learned that the ice was broken, the decoration was substituted. Nordenskjonl’s acceptance of a dec- oration furnished Bjornstjere Bjornson a theme for a sarcastic bit of verse, which has recently been reprinted in a portion of the Norwegian press. Here and There. : Baron H. V. Dirckinck-Holmfeld, the Danish artist, will open a studio in Montreal next winter.

Jen- sen is only a tenant farmer, but he is a veteran of both the first and second Schleswick wars, and it is doubtless to this fact that the royal present is due. What Precipitated the Trouble.

The question so often eeked: “What shall I give her for a wedding pres- ent?” has been answered in an original manner by an Englishman, who be- stowed upon his bride-elect the unique mememto of a piece of his cwn skull, tastefully set in gold. Such an offering could not be general under the best circumstances, for, after all, a skull has its limits, and a fellow must retain enough to cover the little brain he pos- sesses, or there would be no marriage ceremony. In the present instance, this senti- mental giver had his head cracked bya Boer, and the surgeon who did the tre- panning kindly ‘saved the pieces.” ‘When the man recovered he took one bit, after it had been cured, to a jewel- er, who fashioned a fetching little frame for it. The bride, it is said, now wears the souvenir next her heart; but when she can have the real thing, it does seem silly. However, the real pinch will come when divorce is in the air. What Is “Nothing?” An old Scotch farmer, being elected a member of the local school board, visit- ed the school and tested the intelligence of the class by his questions.
