Knight and her son Herbert and Spcrry were also with the Bishop during his last moments. Bishop Knight's death was caused by paralysis, following an attack of tlio grippe, which loft him much debilitated. At first only his right urm was aliened by paralysis, but on Sunday morning his organs of speech were from that time until he died he was unable to articulate. Dr. Sperry, who treated the Bishop in his last sickness, stated that the patient was much weakened having severely suffered iroui insomnia, two or three ago.

Ho was ordained to the diaconate by Bishop Wainwright in. Trinity Church, New York, July 1', 1S54, and to the priesthood on Trinity bun- day, 1850, in St. Luke's Church, Philadelphia. After several years of travel abroad, he became rector of ft. Mark's 1'arish, Boston.

After remaining there for ten vears he became rector of James Parish, Hartford, there remaining until 1877.

W. Ten Brack, of La Crosse, was supported by the opposition, but Dr. Knight was electea after an unusually large number of ballots had been taken. Bishop Knight hardly "looked his when he came to Milwaukee, but the past year told heavily upon his appearance. With Rie exception of his Oxford hat, which he occasionally wore on the street, there was little about him to indicate the ecclesiastic.

The crowds that have nocked to the high court during the past five days are disgusted at the failure of the prosecution to draw aside the veil that conceals the zeal scandal in the case and exjiose the skeleton that is supposed to menace the Prince of Wales. It was expected that the Solicitor- General would ask the' Prince some leading questions. For instance, the Prince might have been asked the names of the two ladies whose names ho scratched from the list of invited LADY EEOOKE. guests when he accepted Mr. Wilson's invitation to take up his abode at Tanby Croft.

Not only this, but that she had made it a rule to socially ostracise all her friends who allowed the Brooke woman to cross their thresholds.

Is New Richmond there lives a pretty, innocent little 4-year-old baby boy who is very bright, clever and receptive, savs a newspaper of that His father got into business difficulties not long ago and became insolvent.

a heavy blow to" him, for he had stood well as a reputable merchant, and had had the respect of his fellowmen. But he met the hard ordeal of bankruptcy with as brave a heart as he could, summon to hia aid. Innocent 4-year-old, approached day with round, honest eyes. "Papa, don't men hang themselves when they are ruined?" he asked. "Yes; somefmos they do," answered the father, absently.

And so that day the little fellow stole away from the'dinner table and pro-, ceded to hana himself because men sometimes did so. when they lost all. He went to a wagon that stood beneath a tree, adjusted a line from the tree to his little neck, and proceeded, to hang after the most approved "fashion. Some neighbors saw him, and in great excitement and anguish rushed over to him and took him down. There was a deep red mark all around his small neck, where he had tried to hang himself, because it was the right thing to do when a "man" was ruined.

AuBi-ESDAiE, Pprtage County, received its name in a peculiar way Years ago when that section was completely undeveloped and land was cheap a man named King located there and built a mill. The place had good shipping facilities and the milt soon became the nucleus of quite a thriving, bustling little town. Then arose the question of a rame for the embryo city, and by common consent the ngnt of naming it was conceded to the first settler, Mr. King. The citizens wanted to call the place King's Mills, but the old gentleman objected.

He said he didn't want his name tacked onto any one-horse or two-horse villase. The old man was the happy father of seven bouncing daughters, and the villagers suggested that the name of one of them should be given to the new town. This idea pleased the lather as much as it pleased the seven daughters, but which one of the seven feir ones should be honored above her sis sisters? The town could not be handicapped with all the sovqu names. Finally a happy thought struct the old man. Every one of his seven daughters was red-headed.

He decided to honor them all by christening the town Auburndale, and Auburndale it remains to this day. Tiru New York Sun's Stouchton correspondent has unearthed a genius in the little Dane County tobacco metropolis. The man is inventor of the feline motor, and his name is Prof. Richard De Long. The operation of the strange machine is described as being very simple, but surprising in its results.

A slight pull on asmaU nickel-plated lever starts the machine. Then, like lightning, from out the end of the cylinder rejecting into the cage there snoots a inir steel arm and hand, grabbing one of the cats by the nape of the neck and yanking it into the cylinder, where it disappears with a yawl of more than feline terror. In a moment the flywheels, the great balance-wheels, and all of the complicated machinery begins to move, at hrst slowly, but soon with startling rapidity. At the proper moment, which is indicated by a small clock-like attachment, the operator pulls another lever, when from out ol another end of the cylinder, with hair and tail erect, scintillating eyes, and a caterwaul dislocating to one's spinal column, the car ia projected into a tub of cold water prepared for its reception. This operation, surprising as it may eeem, extracts from the cat electricity equivalent to the power represented by ten horses, working for one hour, and this power can be stored in the cylinder until needed.

As a cat can be run through the motor every three minutes, and all the accumulating electricity be stored, the power of the machine is practically limitless. The same cat can be used once every ten hours without in the least impairing its health and general usefulness. The Professor ia jubilant over the success of hia invention. He is satisfied that he has overcome every difficulty, and intends-soon to put the machine upon the market. ATTOESEY FELKEB has made two important moves in the treasury cases.

The lawyer Of the defense has entered a motion for a change of venne and as- other lor the attorney-general to appear to show cause why all proceedings relating to the examination of Charles Schriber and the National Bank of Osakosh, before Commissioner Merrill, should not be dismissed, or, if the motion for dismissal be ordered, why the examination of Mr. Schriber and the National Bank shall not be limited to the discovery as to whether Mr. Schriber and the National Bank are sureties on the bond of H. B. Harshaw.

He also asks for a stay in the proceedings. This motion is made on the affidavit of Charles Schriber on behalf of himself and the bank, in which affidavit he asks relief. He recites the fact of the service on him of the summons and the subpoena to appear before Commissioner Merrill for examination. He alleges that the affidavit of the attorney-general discloses that the ceneral nature oi the action is for a breach of bond and for the recovery of certain interest monevs claimed to have been received by Dr. Harshaw while state treasurer.

Mr. Schriber deposes that neither he nor the National Bank signed the bond nor are in anv manner party to it. That the attorney-gen-, eral knew that, and the defendant claims that he is not a proper party to the action. Mr. Schriber further deposes that he believes that the action aeainst himself and the bank was not begun in good faith and is not a bona fide action for the purpose of obtaining redress against himself and the bank, but solely for the purpose of obtaining evidence and compelling him and the bank to disclose matters relating to the action against Mr.

Harshaw and his sureties. Is not" an experiment; It has been tested, and its enormous sale is due solely to its merit.
