ISO. ALEXANDRIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUXE'24, 1903. PRICE 2 OEtfTS. MEDH INAI. Physicians are calling attention to the fact that influenza or grip has come to stay.

In the larger cities there has been a marked increase in diseases affecting the organs of respiration, which increase is attributed to the prevalence of influ? enza. Persons who are recovering from grin or influenza are in a weak condition anil peculiarly liable to pulmonary dis? ease. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures coughs, bronchitis, lung "trouble" and other diseases of the organs of res It is the best tonic medicine or those whose strength and vitality have been exhausted by an attack of grip. It purifies the-blood, cleansing it of the poisonous accumulations which breed and feed disease.

It gives increased ac? tivity to the blood-making glands, and so increase? the supply of pure blood, rich with the red corpuscles of health. "A word for your Medical Discov? writes A.

P. WOOL1-8 A SON. at the Alexandria, Vir? ginia, aeeettd-clasa matter.1 ENGLISH PBEACHEB'8 K. ('. Fillitighani, Vicar of Hexton, England, has sent a letter to BJahop Potter saying that the rector and com municants of the Church of St.

Mary tin: Virgin iti New York are communi ting foolatiy at their services in defiance ofthe intents and ofthe Protestant Episcopal Choren. Mr. Fillinghani, as low-churchman, has criticised ritualists in his own country in the same candid manner on a number of occasi jus. He is visiting in this country at present and write? as follows "Fifth Avenue Hotel, "New York, June 22, 1903. "Right Reverend hope I shall not be credited with undue interference in the affairs of others if I address you on the subject of the scandalous and un? lawful proceedings at the Church of St.

Mary the Virgin, New York. "I am a beneficed clergyman of the sister Church of England. I have been called upon by my countrymen to take a prominent part in opposing the ritualistic movement in our church. Several of my American friende have urged me to do something in the same cause here hope this may be my ex? cuse lor addressing you. "I was present last Sunday morning at St.

Mary the Virgin. That church is a congregation of the Protestant Epis? copal body which solemnly denies any intentiou to depart from the Church of England in any essential point of doctrine, discipline or worship. The whole service was a flagrant lianee of Protestantism. The Church of England was reformed especially to get of the mass, but on Sunday morn? ing what was openly and cynically termed high BUM was performed. Ye-t Dtenta were worn, incense was burned, genuflections arer? made; and all these things are in flagrant defiauce of the discipline of the English church; they are absolutely illegal.

And the pro? ceedings culminated in the elevation and adoration of the senseless elements ol bread and act of idolatry, which, as our Prayer Hook says, should be abhorred by all Christian nun. "Sir, the Artici? ofBeligion, adopt 1 by the whole Protestant Episcopal church in 1801, describe masses Bl 'blasphemous fables and dangerous Yet the rector of St. Mary the Virgin publicly celebrates the high mass, which he is pledged to disbelieve. '1 write you, therefore, to solemnly urge the exercise of your episcopal au? thority in the matter of this glaring scandal. Surely you are not ineftly a Bishop in name surely you have some power to enforce the laws the church; surely the Protestant Episcopal Church in America is not the kingdom of chance and I call upon you, asa ruler of tiie Protestant church to take steps to put.

an end to tins, scandalous and idolatrous proceedings. has been my lot to protest publicly against idolatry in St. Paul's Cathedral, London, and elsewhere, I hope it tuny not be my duty, on my return to New York, to protest publicly, with a band of friends, against the idolatry practised by the rector ot St. Mary the Virgin. But if nothing i- to excise thi plague-apnt, we may feel it our duty, by forcible action, to call the attention the public to this matter.

I am, Right Reverend Sir, your obedient servant, "II. Fl I.I.I MIHA.M, "Vicar of Hexton, England." 1 HE WlLMIKOTO Without any intimation ofthe radical action they proposed to take against the defiant lynchers Qeorge White, the tvi-licr and murderer of 17-year old Helen Bishop, the Delaware authori? ties last night arrested Arthur Convoli, alleged to be ofthe leaders of the mob that burned the negro at the stake Mon? day night. Corwell is a stranger in Wilmington, and is said to be from Baltimore? Against him is a charge ol murder, ami ho is securely imprisoned in the poliei station. His arrest isa result of sweeping plan for wholesale arrests made by Attorney General Ward and astonished the community. (Orwell lingered alunit Wilmington and was taken in custody by Detective Francis in the evening.

He was try conveyed to the police station, where nolxidy is allowed to see him, and he not permitted to converse with anybody. Every policeman received io? -tnutiiin to remain absolutely reticent about the arrest. No information could be obtained about it until 10:15 o'clock last night, when Attorney Ward ad? mitted that Corwell was iu custody As the charge alleged isa capital offense, it is not bailable. The swift and dire punishment meted out to the perpetrator ofthe terrible crime is the sole topic of conversation. Public sentiment appears to deplore the resort to mob violence, but the consensus of opinion is that summary vengeance alone could atone for the brutal outrage upon the life and honor ofthe young girl.

It is said that Mate and city detectives were in the crowd Monday night and recognized some of (boas who participated in the burning. meeting of preachers was held in Wilmington yesterday at which a resolution was passed expressing a seoaOOt Borrow, indignation and shame of the lawlessness and anarchistic inoiistration that has brought reproach upon the Commonwealth of Delaware.
