Moure the highest qualification* for the
episcopate to insist too much on the par
ticular pattern of character or plan of do*
ing things, and none knew better than 1
that it is easier to imagine the ideal bishop
than to be one. Yeti venture to expren
my profound conviction that a deep
spiritual passion, a love that runt into
sacrifice for the whole brotherhood of men
and an undying faith in the grandeur and
possibilities of all manhood and woman
hood are in the long run worth more to
the bishop himself and to his
diocese and the general cburoh
than are even a genius for
administration, combined with the digni
ties, wealth and spleudor of an ecclesiastical
prince. For, after all, the trne bishop is
more of a father than a prince, more of a
shepherd than a governor, and no man can
be either in any large sense who is not fair
minded toward ditlerent tastes and tem
peraments, tolerant of differing opinions
that are fairly held within the lawful
limitations of the churches, and keenly
sympathetic toward tne hearts and aspira
tions of his people. I am sure that you
will be a good shepherd, and that
you will follow the example of
the great bishop and shepherd of us all and
go 1 efore your deck, lead them in the right
way, carry the lambs in your bosom and
the cares of all your people on your heart
and so rule them prudently and with all
your power.”
PRESENTED TO THE PRESIDING BISHOP.
Immediately after the sermon the bishop
elect was presented to tbs presiding bishop
by Rev. C-rtlandl Whitehead and Rt. Rev.
Leighton Coleman with these words: '‘Rev.
father in Qod, we present unto you this
godly, well-learned man to be ordained and
consecrated -bishop." The bishop-elect
was clad in a priest’s robe of
plain white girded at the waist with a
silken cord.
The testimonials of the election of the
tiishop-eleot were read and then he took the
promise of conformity as follows: “In the
name of God, amen. 1, Cleland Kinloch
Nelson, chosen bishop of the Protestant
Episcopal oburrb Id Georgia, do promise
conformity and obedience to the doctrine,
discipline and worship of the Protestant
Episcopal church in the United Htatesof
America. So help me God through Jesus
Christ.”
The litany followed, solemnly chanted by
Bishop Coleman of Delaware.
Bishop Quintard then entered upon the
examination of the bishop-elect who replied
to the questions in a clear, firm voice prom
ising to live and administer tbo affairs of
Che church according to the doctrines
thereof. The bishop-elect was then robed
In the bishop’s habit, afterwbich tbeimposi
tion of hands followed .with the bisbop-eiect
kneeling in their midst. The bishops pres
ent first raised their baDds toward heaven
and then laid them upon the bead of the
elected bishop, the presiding bishop saying:
•‘Receive the Holy Ghost for the office and
work of a bishop in the cburoh . of
God now committed unto thee by
the imposition of our hands in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Ghost, amen. And remember that tbou stir
up the grace of God, whloh is given thee by
this Imposition of our hands, for God hath
not given us the spirit of fear, but of power
and iove and soberness." A Bible was then
delivered to the newly consecrated b'thop,
with an exhortation from the presiding
episcopate. The Episcopal oross was than
hung about bis neck ami this ended tbe cer
emony.
Bishop Nelson passed tbe altar rail and
took a seat to tbe right of the presiding
bishop. He was bishop of Georgia.
To-night a reception was held at the exec
utive mansion. Gov. Northen and a com
mittee of churchmen introduced the callers

The Straigbtout Executive Committee
Issues an Address.
Columbia, S. C., Feb. 24.—Politics is
getting decidedly mixed in this state. To
night brings new developments. Tbe old
“stralgbtout” executive committee that
managed the revolt against Gov. Tillman
two years ago have been to session to-day
and to-night. They have issued an
address “to tbe straigbtout democrats
of South Carolina. ” As fully detailed in these
dispatches last Sunday, the conservative
element of the opposition have called a
convention to meet here next month and
name a ticket to be presented to'tbe state
o invention to pit against Gov. Tillman
“within the party.” Tbe address of tbe
straightouts complicates matters
somewhat. After showing that
the Tillman crowd have
tightened tbe coil of party rule, that free
dom of election at the primaries has been
destroyed by the Tillman administration,
and that the promises of reform have been
disregarded, the address says: “We ap
peal to those who faced the fire
and bore tbe brunt in 1890
to stand firm to their party
and their high principles in 1892, aud we
rdll upon all good democrats to join In tbe
fight against wrong and oppression. We
urge tho straigbtout democrats, and all who
are ready to act with them, to cling to their
colors and stand firm. Be not mislea by the
blandishments of power or the bribes of
office to surrender your independence, but
standing true to principle, loyal to tbe
grand democracy of 1876 and earnest in the
struggle for the welfare of our state, con
tinue the fight against the faotlon which has
robbed the people of their sovereign right
of self-government land brought nothing
but disaster aud evil repute upon tbe state.
There is a difference of opinion on tbe
part of many good men. We say nothing
against those who are sincere, but much as
we respect them personally we urge
upon our party to disregard
any allurements to join tbe
dominant faction in order tc defeat it and
not to submit to tyrannical rule to which no
allegiance is due, nor to do evil that good
may oome of it.
“Your oommittee urges you to be patient
and remain steadfast, awaiting tbe time
when your service can render
good to our common country: aDd
be assured that when the time for action
oomes, those to wboin you have intrusts!
tbe standards of your party will summon
you to duty, and perhaps to victory, but
always for tbe right.
“We appeal to our fellow democrats of
all factions and all classes to hear the
truth and do us justice. We seek the good
of the whole people.
“We recognize the great interest
of our state to be agricultural and while we
refuse to be subservient to secret caucuses
or class legislation, wo are earnest in our
desire to promote that interest upon whiob
the welfare of our state is largely depend
ent. We seek no office; we ask
no rewards but tbe oonsciouness
of having done our duty. We
will battle in tbe ranks for any good man
or men put forward by the democracy,
provided we can vote as domocrati,
governed by the principles of 1876, and be
fore freed from tho tyranny of the existing
rules and constitution of tbe faotlon now in
power.”
The signs appear to be that tbe
straightouts will not jolntbefr conservative
brethren as long as tbe present rules pro
mulgated by the Tillman state executive
oommittee are reeognixed and the prospeot
is for a repetition of the scenes of two years
with enhanced bitterness.

1 BAKER'S FATAL LETTERS.
MRS. GILMER URGED TO POISON
HER HUSBAND.
The Doctor Sect Her the Drugs to
Accomplish Bis Death Letters
Which Have Passed Between the
Guilty Pair Since the Doctor’s Im
prisonment Produced In Court.
Richmond, Va., Feb. 24. —A special to
the Dispatch from Abingdon says the
Baker murder trial was resumed this morn
ing. Judge Ward decided to admit the
tellers of Mrs. Gilmer to Dr. Baker. The
letters were read. They are filled with love
sick sentimentality and bints against the
lives of Mrs. Baker and Wyndham Gilmer.
Tbe examination of Mrs. Gilmer was
then resumed, tbe counsel for the
defense raising an objection to certain
questions and a war of words ensued, dur
ing which Hun. C. F. Trigg branded a
statement of Mr. Wysor of the prosecution
a* false. The latter arose and advanced
toward Mr. Trigg, but a flxt encounter was
prevented bytbeshoriff. The oourt fined
the gentlemen $25 each and the examination
of Mrs. Gilmer was resumed.
THE UNFULFILLED PROMISES.
The witness was asked what were the
promises she made to Dr. Baker that she
did not keep.
She answered: “That I was to co-o}>er
ate with him iu poisoning my husband.
He gave me a vial of hydrocyanic acid. 1
got a note from him afterward, urging me
to give my husband the poison. 1 de
stroyed tbe note and did not administer the
medicine. I threw the p Ison away and
gave the bottle to one of my children. I
afterward gave the same bottle to tbe com
monwealth's attorney.” The bottle was
shown and identified by the witness.
OTHER POISONS GIVEN HER.
“Dr. Baker also gave another bottle con
taining a white substance to be adminis
tered to my husband and informed me in a
note that it was arsenic. lie also left tartar
emetic, which he said wasanervedepresser,
and two other bottles. I don’t know what
the latter contained. The arsenic was given
me two or three week* before X was arrested.
The acid was given me in the fall of 1889.”
A recess was then taken for dinner. When
oourt reassembled Messrs. Wyserand Trigg
informed his honor that their difficulty had
been amicably adjusted. Each disclaimed
any intention of being discourteous to the
court. Judge Ward informed them that if
they would behave themselves for the re
mainder of tbe term their fines would be re
mitted.
THE DOCTOR OFFENDED.
The witness continued: “Dr. Baker wns
offended because I failed to carry out my
promises to give my husband poison. He
Pegged me to administer it. He threatened
that if I did not fulifil my promise within
two weeks he would desert me. He said he
would kill me if I did not administer the
medioine. But it did not impress me that he
meant it. He talked to me very little
about his wife’s death after it
occurred. He said that he had given her
medicine and that she took it with the same
confidence that one of my children would
take a dose of medicine from me. He told
this when ha was trying to get me to give
tbe medioine to my husband.
DOSED HER WITH EMBALMING FLUID.
“He spoke of an embalming fluid that be
used on his wife saying that it contained
some of tbe most deadly poison known. He
said that God would not look upon our
action as a sin, that we were made for each
other, and that he had made up bis mind
that he could not stand the life he
was leading any longer. There are
many statements in tbe letters which are
not true. I told him that tbe medioine had
made my husband indifferent to me. It
had not done so. 1 was trying to keep him
from doserting me. 1 never gave Mr. Gil
mer any of the medioine except several
doses of the tartar emetic.”
THE WITNESS BECOMES THEATRICAL.
The witness here became theatrical, and
oalled on God to witness that Bhe never
meant to betray Dr. Baker: that it was his
own negligence that did it. Tbe witness con
tinued: “I that Dr. Baker
had poisoned his wife, and I wished to take
care of bis little children because the crime
bad been committed for my sage. He never
told me that he bad deserted bis own flesh
and blood for me. When I used that
expression in my letters I had reference to
his wife. The medicine that was left for
Mr. Gilmer was administered by his daugh
ter and the nurses. I did not give it. A
capsule was given him one night. Dr.
Baker said it was Intended to make him
sleep. Mr. Gilmer was taken violently ill
the next morning and obtained relief by
vomiting.”
A GUILTY tryst.
Bhe was then asked hSw long it was after
Mrs. Baker’s death until she was agaiu in
timate with Dr. Baker.
Bhe replied: * I could not say definitely
and truthfully how long. It was at the
first favorable opportunity.”
A consultation was then hold by the coun
sel for the prosecution. A sensation was
created when the questions were asked Mrs.
Gilmer if she had had any correspondence
with Dr. Baker since the former trial, and
whether she and Mr. Gilmer hod been liv
ing together in the meautimp as husband and
wife. Both questions were answered in the
affirmative.
Two letters which had been secured by
tho prosecution were read, one from Mrs.
Gilmer to Dr. Baker and his reply. Her
letter was written about two weeks ago! It
is filled with contrition over the fact that
her testimony should have brought the
prisoner to his present condition. Bhe dis
claims any intention of betraying him, say
ing she would have died before she
would have uttered one word
if the former’s letter had not
been discovered. Dr. Baker’s letter ex
presses surprise that she should address him,
Eroclairas his innocence and expresses a
ope that whatever his own fate may be she
may bo relieved from her present state of
sorrow. He says he cherishes m ill will to
ward her. The witness was turned over to
the defense and the court adjourned.

Emma Williams a comely black of
23. The two have been living
together for more than a year, Emma di£
playing the most ardent affection for her
companion. The money she earned was
divided with Eleanor, and tbe Williams
woman was averse to Eleanor going out to
earn her living, or even to make necessary
household purchase*.
SHOWED GENUINE JEALOUSY.
The black woman showed genuine jeal
ousy when any male acquaintance took
notice of her charge. IV hen men called at
her house she would invent excuses to pre
vent Eleanor seeing them. Bhe asked the
latter several times to promise her that no
man's love should separate the two, and
even made threats that if Eleanor ever
married she would “fix” her. Last week
Eleanor left the house to pay a
visit to a married sister, who lives in the
western part of the city. Emma was in
consolable.
STABBED THE GIRL SEVEN TIMES.
Night before last she heard that Eleanor
was at a ball with a inale acquaintance.
She instantly grew furious, and, seouring
her knife, went in search of her faithless
friend. She found her at tbe ball in the
northern part of the city. Emma oalled
Eleanor out, seized her, and drawing
forth her weapon plunged it time
and again Into the girl’s body.
Assistance was soon rendered and Emma
was dragged away from her victim, but not
before she had inflicted seven ugly and
probably fatal wounds in the girl’s body.
It is reported that this is not the first
instance of Emma Williams’ erratlo mania,
and that several years ago she persuaded a
woman to leave her husband and oome and
live with her.

A STARTLING FACT !
That very few persons have perfect eyes. It
must be evident that it requires both knowledge
and skill to know what the eyes need and to tit
them properly with glasses. Those who trust
this work to uninstructed dealers are criminally
careless of the most valuable of all the senses,
their sight. In additiou to graduating in Ger
many and my .thirty years practical experience,
I have taken a course and graduated in a
school of optics in New York and learned the
latest and best methods of ascertaining the differ
ent defeots of the eyes and their proper correc
tion, so that I can fit you properly with glasses
that will strengthen and improve your eyesight
instead of rapidly ruining it. as poorly-fitted
glasses will always do. No charge for ex
amination.
