Macon, Ga., Nov. 12.—[Special ]—
The session of the Episcopal diocesan
convention in this city yesterday was
quite an interesting one.
After the religious exercises bad con*
eluded, the roll was called for dele
gates. Twenty-five of the clergy re
sponded and thirty-nine of the laity.
The standing committee, through
Secretary Z. D. Harrison, of Atlanta,
reported the election of Bishop Talbot
and his subsequent declining of the oN
flee.
In the afternoon session the election
of a bishop was entered into by both
clergy and laity,
In the meeting of the clergy three
names were presented, via. Dr Nelson,
fo South Bethlehem,Dr. Gray,of Nash
ville, and Dr. JohLBon,of Detroit: ,. w .
The vote stood.
Nelson, 13; Gray, 2; Johnston, «:
Williams, 1;J. R. Winchester, ol
Nashville. 1; John Elliott, 1. The
clergy cast twenty five votes, and it re
quired thirteen to elect.
The laity cast twentv-two votes as
follows: Nelson, 13; Gray, 2; John-
ston, 4; Williams, 1. Nelson therefore
received the majority of three with the
laity.
In other words, out of a total vote of
forty-five be got twenty-six, and was
thus elected by a majority. The elec
tion was declared at 6:0ft o’clock.
In the convention T. J. Pond, of Mt.
Airy moved to make it unanimous.
R»v C. C Williams objected.
Rov. W.E Epps, of Albany, favored
the motion.
K<‘V. A. G. P. Dodge, Jr., of St. Si
mon’s opposed.
The opposition developed considera
ble strength and the motionwas with
drawn. The full number of lay dele
gates voting signed the testimonial of
election. Two of the clergy would not
do so. Dr. Williams signed.
Rev. W. C. Hunter, ohairman of the
convention, and a lay member of the
standing committee, yet to be named,
were appointed to notify by wire Mr.
Nelson of bia election and see him in
person. The reason of the opposition
to Mr. Nelson was that so little was
known of him by tbedelegates.

Sarloua Consequences Expected On the
St. Louis Kelt Line.
_St. Louis, Nov. 13.—Tho difficulty
between tbe Belt line and the Brother
hoods of Locomotive Engineers and
Firemen, has culminated in the declara
tion of a st .ike and boycott that is likely
to be far-reaching in its effects. The
causes leading to the action taken
briefly, are as follows: Some tbree
weeks ago the engineers and firemen on
the Belt line became dissatisfied with
the scale of wages paid. Chief Arthur,
of the Brotherhood, was sent for, and
an adjustment made on a uniform scale
of $3.25 per diem for engineers and $1.90
for firemen for eleven hours' work. It
was supposed that fair sailing would be
the order for the winter. But last Sun
day, when seventeen men were dis
charged for refusing to work during
their noon hour without pay, matters
oame to a crisis. Chiefs Arthur and
Sargent, of the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers and Brotherhood of Lo
comotive Firemen, were telegraphed
for. Mr. Arthur has arrived and at
once met the chief officials of the rail
road company. The interview termin
ated unsatisfactority, and the result is
a strike and boycott.

Editor Banner : In the Banner of
yesterday “The Wanderer” asks him
self the question: “Is marriage a fail
ure? requesting at the same time that
he be excused from answering it. 1
will not answer for him, but push this
question a little further and leave it,
hoping that some worthy Benedict may
put ou the finishing touches.
Long before Mona Caird coined the
phrase: “Is marriage a failure? the
proper relation'of the sexes had been
the subject of study and controversy.
It has seemed, that our modern time,
changing so many other traditions, has
found marriage to be, I will not Bay a
failure, but out of date. Hence a ten
dency in all countries to amend the
marriage laws. France has only a few
years ago admitted divorce in her code,
against a strenuous opposition,it is true,
but the fact is accomplished.
The Roman Cstholio church is now
perhaps, the only power that insists on
the marriage vow to be irrevocable,
‘until death do them part.” By taking
such a stand it is doing its share towards
keeping ill-considered marriages down
to the smallest possible . number.
It Btands - to reason that
a person will not undertake this impor
tant step with a light heart and without
careful self-examination if he knows
that, should he err in his choice and
decision, the mistake is irreparable,
The idea of marriage has for its foun
dation the assumption that it is inviola
ble and mutt be kept ^inviolable. We
may regret many noble souls who,
through no fault of their own,have been
deceived and chafe under an uncongeni
al yoke, hot on general principles it is
well not to make their escape too easy.
An inflexible law, that to all requests
for exemption from tbe marital obliga
tions gives Forlas answer:
It must not be, there is no power in Venice,
Can altera decree established:

And many an error, by the sam« example,

a matter of jest.
YES, VERY OBJECTIONABLE.
This plan is objectionable aside from
moral reasons. The taxpayers will be
first heard from in vigorous grum
bling.
A chief objection is that all family life
is broken up, the child taken away
front home influences and pat in charge
of strangers, probably some old pedants
of the Dryasdust school, who look on
their bndding wants as a receptacle for
booklore and dry formula.
The young person’s heart and fancy
would be allowed no development and
with such a wholesale system of educa
tion we would breed into the young
souls selfishness, greed and hardness
Alas we have more than enough of
that already now!
Who should take care of tbe cast-off
wives who have become too old and
ugly to find other suitors? Their sons,
if they did k* ow them, would hardly be
inclined to take such a burden upon
themselves. They were brought up
away from home and under a social
system detrimental alike to paternal
love and filial affection.
Much more may be said, were not the
mere exposition of Jordan’s idea suffi
cient to condemn it. It was only
treated at some le gt;h to show how far
the opponents of matrimony have al
ready gone and how this important
institution is amongst the many others
that the spirit of innovation is trying,
first to undermine, then to shake, and
finally t > overtopple.
For I hope to find time to give Yea-
sons for tbe opinion that, on the whole,
marriage these thousands of years has
been a success and a failure. Where it
is the latter, tbe system is not so much
at fault as the individual.
Human imperfection stands in the
way of the best results intended by the
framers of love, ficiid institutions and
we cannot too often be reminded that
for most of our trouble and sorrow we
need seek the cause no farther than in
onrown wantonness, folly and faults.

Belt line handles nearly all the freight
sent ovei the eastern roads for this city,
and a tie-up of the Belt line would
leave an immense amount of freight
consigned to St. Louis and seriously
affect the trade of this city. Then, too,
if the men on the other roads refused to
haul cars consigned to or from the Wig
gins Ferry, ns Chief Arthur says they
will, the roads are very apt to attempt
to fjroe them, and if they do, a strike
on the big eastern roads would be the
result. It can be seen, therefore, that a
strike on the Belt road may precipitate
a general railroad strike of alarming
magnitude, which will seriously affect
the trade all over the United States.
The strike will probably be inaugu
rated. Chief Arthur has given his con

a like consent from Grand Master Sar-

It is the fashion of the day to assail

sneer at it, as if it were the fittest pos

little evil and great relish are repeated
ove* and over again.
These puerile stupidities require no
attention, but 1 will thank the reader
for listening to what a learned doctor
in sober earnest proposed about six
years ago.
He, Max Nordan, by name, by birth
a German-Austrian is a well known
author of deep erudition. He possess
es the charm of a brilliant literary style
and knows how to present science in a
readable form, a gift denied many
learned m n.
None of his hookB created such a sen
sation as the one that appeared in the
spring of 1885 under the title of: “The
Conventional Lies of Civilization,
which was immediately translated from
the German into about fifteen foreign
languages. The author devotes one
chapter to “Lie of Matrimony” and
proceeds on the following line of ar
gument: “The affections of human
brings are subject to changes, both in
degree aud as to the object that excites
them.”
Especially the male can transfer his
love from one female to another a good
many times, and yet love each one of
them in all sincerity and with all his
might while the fascination lasts.
Nay, such is man’s nature that he can
love two and even more at the same
time. It is therefore against his nature
to bind himself to one woman alone and
cruel to tie her to him like a log and
bid him be faithful to and content with
her.
WHAT A STRANGE CONCLUSION!
Man who before God and witness's
swears that he will love this woman
“until death do ihem part” swears
false; for, how can he know that later

Instructive A uju.no/nent for People Too
Demure to Samp aud Ban.
A new social game consists in taking
titles of books and representing each
title by a picture, by a drawing or by
some arrangement of objects so that, it
can be guessed from them, somewhat
after the manner of rebus. Of course
the one who guesses correctly the great
est number of titles takes the first prize.
There is also a second prize and a
“booby” prize.
Abont thirty took part in the game I
saw, though the uumber could have
been extended indefinitely. Fifty titles
had been selected by the hostess,
their representations carefully prepared.
Each player having been provided with
a paper on which there were fifty blanks
for these titles, at a signal we entered
the room where the objects and pictures
were displayed. Bat it was no easy task
to solve all the puzzles before us. Some
titles were kuown at once, others re
mained unguessed to the end.
Among the objects and titles were
such as these:
A candle on a map of Asia represented
“The Light of Asia."
A large white cardboard with a tiny
2 on it was “We Two."
A picture of a milldam and a white
bead on the top of the picture was
“Adam Bede.”
A little ladder, with a toy monkey on
the top round and & toy man at the foot,
was “The Descent of Man.”
The word Sin in red ink was “A Car
dinal Sim”
The sheet music of “Yankee Doodle”
was “American Notes.”
An O half concealed in a bunch of
ferns was “Inferno.”
A toy donkey, an O, and some tea
leaves was Donkey-o-t—“Don Quixote.”
Some vocal music thrust through the
handles of several keys was “Songs in
Many Keys.”
A pie upon some ears c>f com was
“Pioneers."
A burned out candle in a candlestick
was “The Light That Failed."
Some dolls in b:dl costume, rang
their faces before a mirror, was “Mot
era Painters.”
Some hulf dollars, quarters and dimes
wes "The American Commonwealth.”
And bo tbe titles ran on, some difficult,
some causing much fun, and all inter
esting.
The possibilities of this game are seen
at a glance. With brightness and in-
genuity many very puzzling and amusing
effects can he worked up.
There are two good rules to be en
forced. The time for guessing should ho
limited, and communication while guess
ing strictly forbidden, else the first prize
is likely to go to some one who has been
assisted by the guesses of others, and the
conscientious player has no chance.
Other adaptations of this game might
be to titles of poems, quotations, etc.
But the best seems to be in titles of
standard or reasonably well known, not
obscure, books.—Christian Union.

A Cloudburst Sweeps Everything and

Tacoha, Wash., Nov. 12. —There have
never b.-en worse storms in Western
Washington than those between the
Souud and tbe Cascades. The worst
damage was done ne ar Weston, where a
cloudburst occurred. While fortun
ately no lives were lost there was much
damage to property. The cloudburst
swept everything before it. Between
Weston and Tacoma numerous bridges
were washed away. The storm extended
even across the range. The telegraph
wires between Portland and Wallula,
on the Union Pacifies, were blown down
and a landslide occurred. On the Sound
small steamers were compelled to lay
near the shore all night. No wrecks
are reported.

bum is first thoroughly washed with a
solution of 8 per cent of carbolic acid,
or similar disinfectants used for this
purpose. The blisters are then carefully
opened so that none of the flesh beneath
is injured, and the surface covered with
finely powdered snbnitrate of bismuth.
A thick layer of soft cotton wool is then
placed over the powdered surface and
left in position until it is moistened with
the watery discharges. ]
This dressing should he changed as

A Queer Betrothal Gift.
One of the neatest of betrothal gifts
was given to a muscular young fellow
at Newport tho other day—a man who
drives his own coach and conn: s a pretty
big fortune in Ins very own ight. The
toy was a gold pen of h lsome work
manship, rather large :it •. .3 upper end,
but short? and compact * .tough to carry
as a watch chain attr. -daieut. No one,
at a glance, would guess its peculiar
merits, but the instant the nib is thrust
out for writing, the opposite end flies
open, revealing a tiny but exquisitely
painted picture of the owner’s sweet
heart. It appears a European voyage is
to separate the lovers for a season, and
it was her fancy to give a peu sacred to
her letters alone and allowing fall view
of his lady's fair face while conversing
