of America, if net of the world. As,
hewever, it extends northward 1,200

His status in the church is rather con

Knight's election is regarded as a tri

The following letter regarding him
was written by the late Bishop Welles
at the tinie the election in Flerida was
pending:
It is a very"" serious matter for ene
from without te advise a priest in the
dloceso of Flerida in regard te the elec
tion of a bishop in the place of the ven

ether way than te bear my testimony te
the sound churchmenship. the goodly
learning, the excellent character, the
faithfulness as a pastor and priest of the
clergyman (Rev. Dr. Knight) mentioned
in your letter. I have known him for
many years, and if any diecese should
cell him te the episcopate he would, I
am confident, administer its affairs,
under divine guidance, with wisdom and
unwearied faithfulness.

effect of en entirely new building.
In the north wing are the offices of the

of this wing is the hall of representa

Twe stories of the south wing are te

In tne r" part are the offices of the

reached by iron and stene stairways,
lighted with skylights of stained gloss.

Westen Men Are Net Very FartleaUr.
1 "What kind of shoes are the ladies
wearing nowadays?'
"If you should say that they are wear
ing all kinds you would just about
strike it; but there is one thing certain,
much mero scnsible shoes are worn by
women today than there were five years
age. The best selling shoe we have in all
sections of the ceuntrv. with ene or two
exceptions, te the New Yerk medium tee.
A-shoewlth this ten has a comfortable
aad yet natty appearance, and is usually
fitted with en inch and an eighth heel,
which is a comfortable height. Next in
popularity te the New Yerk medium tee
Is the New Yerk opera tee. which is mero
pointed at the end and has a heel one
quarter of en inch higher than the for
mer. Either of these styles of shoe may
or may net be adorned with the patent
leather tip which has been se popular for
the last year."
1 "Where are the largest shoes worn?"
"I suppose you will think I will say in
Chicago, but I shan't, for while in that
city the sizes range from ene te seven, in
Bosten there are very few Ne. l's sold,
the prevailing numbers ranging between
two and seven. Chicago women have
been much maligned, and it is a fact that
we send mero large sizes cast than te
any ether section of the country. New
Yorkers wear much slimmer shoes than
are worn in any ether city, and while we
sell mero medium sizes, threes and threes
and a half, for instance, right here seme
women wear as high as fives. We soil
very few shoes ever that size in New
Yerk."
IMTOUTANT rNFOllMATION.
I "WlinrA nM f lin nmnllnaf. attVM WrtrnV
"Yeu will be surprised when I tell you
that for small feet the southern women
are in the van. They wear rather wider
shec3 than their New Yerk sisters, but
their feet are shorter. Te sum up, I
think I can confidently assert that the
largest shoes are worn by eastern women,
slimmest by New Yorkers and the widest
and smallest by the fair creatures who
make the south and west their homes."
"Are there particular styles manufact
ured for different sections;"
"There are. Here, for instance," and
the member eneneda black walnut rIiew
case and took out what looked like men's
shoes, "is a sample of the ladies' wauk
cnpliast shoe, which is new very popular
in that city of blue bleed and Leans Leans Leans
Bosten. "Yeu will netice that they are nearly
as heavy, have as wide heels, and leek
fully as useful as men's shoes. We sell
them nowhere clse but in the cast.
A gain r here is a pair of shoes wliich you
will observe have perfectly square tees
and narrow feet. These are what the
Philadelphia belles dete upon, and you
couldn't see a pair in any ether city te
save your neck. Funny, isn't it?"
"Are women wearing heavier or
lighter shoes than formerly?"
"Yeu would naturally suppese from
my previous statement that they are
wearing mero scnsible shoes, that I
would say heavier. 1 regret te say that
I cannot. Fair woman has ceme te the
conclusion that distorted feet resulting
from tee short and tee tight shoes de
tract from her appearance, and is there there there
eoeo wcarinc better sliaued feet cover
ings. Yeu cannot persuade her te wear
anything clumsy looking. A thick soled
shoe is her abomination, and there are
mero deaths resulting every year from
her determination te wear paper soled
fihjea than from any ether cause. At
least, that is my opinion. Why, just
leek at it a moment. The Ihlckcst shoe
we make lias but a tnrcc-elghths of an
inch sole about the thickness a man
would wear en a summer sheeand yet
women will put en their 'thick beets' as
they call them, and tramp through slush
and mud all day long in them. It makes
no difference if their feet are soaked
when they get home; they liave worn
their 'thick beets,' and that settles it.
That's what I like about the eastern
women. They will wear comfortable
and suitable bIiecu every time, appear
ances or no appearances.''
"Is the Freuch high heel as much in
vegue as it wasr"
I "Fer street wear, no. Fer the heuse
and carriage the most popular button
shoe fa the New Yerk opera tee, with the
high 'French heel. This shoe naturally
is net adapted for much walking, and
the women have discovered this. Fer
low shoes the New Yerk medium tee and
the opera with high and moderately high
French heels sell the best. Fer a geed
walking shoe $5 te $3 should be paid; for
fancy ball slippers of ceurse fancy prices
areulven."
IMTHOVEMENT IN VEX S SII0E3.
A wholesale manufacturer of men's
shoes said: "It would be hard te say
that any particular style of shoe is being
worn new. We make and sell all styles.
It caii 1)0 sold, though, that men are get
ting better Shoes for their money today
than ever befere. Net only better in
quality but in fit. The time has cene by
when n man cxncctcd te buy an un
comfortable, ready mede shoe and tor
ture himself by wearing it until it was
comparatively comfortable Improved
methods of taking measurements and
improved machinery liave accomplished
this, and a man can today go into a
reputable ready made shoe store and get
a perfect fitting shoe without the slightest
trouble."
I "Which section of the country de
mands the largest shoes"
i "That would be difficult te ray, but
Iircbably the western man will wear a
Ittle larger shoes than ether men. As a
rule the western man, you knew, is net
go particular in his dress as an east
erner, and se long iu a shoe is comfort
able that is about all he cares for."
"De you make particular styles for
different parts of the country?"
"I can't say that we de except for the
south. Southerners wear uioie beets
than men in the north. In fact there
are very few of the finer grade of beets
worn up here. The southern man likes
beets and he wears them with high heels
and is apt te get them tee short for his
feet. In consequcucu the southern feet
is shorter and w idur tlian ether feet, tbe
sizes down there ranging from 4 te 8,
while in the north theyrange in this
part of the country from 5 te 10, and in
the west from 0 te 13. The eastern men
have the slimmest feet. A fact which id
somewhat strange U that mero heavy
slices are sold right here in the city than

"Shamcl shame!" cried a benevolent
gentleman, as a car driver snapped a
whip lustily around the heels of a home
that was being led from the big stable
of the crosstown lines in Christopher,
near West street, te a wnitjng car. The
animal was se latne in both front legs
that the old f rome quivered alf it were
going te unhingect cry time he cautiously
put his feet en the pavement. It did
seem ltard te force nit old animal like
this te w erk, and a crowd of people, who
had speedily gathered, were heartily
Slad when the benet elent man seized Uie
river's arm, and, showing a lutdge of
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
te Animal'), threatened te arrest lilm if
he persisted in muullng the ticast.
"Shew Billy seme kindness?" said the
driver in rcsnonse te the stranger's sug
gestion. "Sluire that's what uilshlm.
Ile's had tee much of it. Why he'U
swallow kindness quicker than n mouth
ful of eats and show his gratitude by
sleeping twenty-four hours out of ft day.
Ile's the biggest rogue in New Yerk,
and I'll proe it te jeu. Whoa there,
Billy I 1111 Yll Whoeplal"
Up went the herse's cars as if he had
heard the roice of an old friend. The
driver patted him en the back and
whispered: "Yeu won't liave te work
today, Billy." The change was magical.
The old nng wnq n 13-year-old again. He
started toward Ills 6tnll without atrace
of lameness. He was turned about face
toward the car quickly, the lameness re
turned in a jiffy, and lie looked as If he
was going te shake off his skin and die.
"This is an every day occurrcnce,,,
said Mr. Parker, the superintendent of
Uie stable. "Billy la an old trick herse
and used te travel with a circus, no has
an innate hatred for work, and becomes
lauie every time that he Is taken from his
stall te take alum with a car. He fooled
us all at first, and I had thought I had
been badly stuck iu buying him, but I
coon leunii out no was suainming. tne
lameness diwpeai rui seen as he is
hitched up, and he gees en his journey at
geed speed."
"Have yen nny ether horses with
peculiar antics?"
"Yes, plenty of them. We get many
well bred nnimals, t miners, trotters and
jumpers, that hrue had their day. Every
wast of degi co lias n weakness of some
sort that gives iw trouble, but we don't
liave tlme te pay attention te their
whims and they me:i llnd it out and be be bo

Many a loving young bridegroom mny
desorve the epllliet which illumines the
following anecdote, but, as a general
tiling, no ene discovers the fact in se
short a time after mnrriage.
The niece of a deaf old gentleman,
"way down in Maine," married ene of
the best musical ciitlcu of the west. On
their bridal tour the husband was for
the first time presented te this relative,
who usked another niece in a loud w his
per: 'What does he de?"
"He's a musical critic," was th- loud
reply.
"Waal," said the undo, gazing at the
young man, "no acceuutm' fcr tastes;
but why did oho marry him, if be's u
mis'rable critter?" Musical ltaticw.

Several cases of this new malady are
reported fiein Crcuset, France. It af
fects workers under tlectrle light. The
light execeda 100,000 candle power, and
it apiienrs tliat it h this excess of light,
and net the heat, which produces the
nervous symptenu. A painful sensation
in the threat, face nnd temples is first
noticed, then the bkia becomes coppery
red, and irritation Is felt about the eyes,
much lachrjmatlen ensues, and these
symptoms then disappear, while the skin
peels off in five daja, The effects are
comparable te theso produced by walk

may be regarded as a ceit of "sun burn
