Notes. The bishop of Chlchestor , England , is eighty-six years old , but performs his regu lar round of diocesan work. There is nothing slow about the Salvation nrmy In Now York. It is proposed to build a "barrack" to cost .SloOJO,003 , near Union square. The popo's Jublleo present to ugod Arch bishop Kenrick of St. Louis is a line medal lion of himself , p tinted on ivory and in a gold frame. A French scientist has compiled some interesting statistics to show that u largo percentage of the world's most famous men of learning have boon clergymen's sons. The brotherhood of St. Andrew , a society formou in the protostnut Episcopal com munion , is having u growth as remarkable ns that of the Society of Christian Endeavor and the Epworth League. Tlio steamer Evangel , the most romarlcnblo boat that over sailed in Puget Sound , lias ended her career of mishaps by n boiler explosion - plosion in which three men were killed nnd four wounded. Built as a gospel vessel , she became in time the most notorious smuggler and the most disroputublo craft in the north west. Bishop Merrill , the famous Methodist churchman of Chicago , is reported danger ously ill. Bishop Merrill is (52 ( years old , and for nearly half n century ho has boon a mom- borof the Methodist ehurch. Born in Mount Ploosnut , O. , ho began his service for the church when nbout 20 years old , being li censed to preach before ho was old enough to vote. At n recent cathedral christening , says the New York Sun , the baby was attended by thirty llttlo maidens , all dressed in white , who formed n circle round the font ns the applicant for churchly honors , wivh robes of rare , line laces drapme its tiny form , and white exotics covering its breast , was passed up to the waiting bishop to receive- the sign of the cross. The sarno day in the hoavt of the slums , a ranged mother held her baby over the bar of tlio public house , clipped her lingers in the beer nnd mndo on the child's forehead the sign of the cioss , "in the nnmo of the Father , the Sou and the Holy Ghost , " while men and women cursed nud drained tholr glasses. And this Is an enlightened nnd a Christian country. In commenting on the Brlcgs cnso.says the Now York Tribune , a number of people take the ground that the professor was guilty of Inconsistenoy In expressing n desire to bo tried , and then acquiescing in the dismissal of his caio. This is unjust to Dr. Brigcs. Ho did desire a trial of the case on Its meritsnnd nrobably does yet. But that is no reason why ho should allow himself to bn tried on fnlsc nnd irrelevant issues. What ho did do was to show that the charges and specifica tions of the prosecuting oommltteo were Irrelevant - relevant and liisuftlciont , nnd In voting to dis miss them , the Presbytery declared that It " agreed with him. It is "still open to tlio church to try him on valid chargesand when such charges nro itndo It Is pretty certain that ho will bo found both ready and willing to meet them. Dr. Birnoy cures catnrrh.

Knto Clnxton presents nn elaborate re vival of the famous "Two Orphans , " with nil the inngnlllccnt scenery nnd accessories that created such n furore during the long run in New York , Miss Cloxton's nnpouranco in this role has given her n reputation limited only by the bounds of civilization , or wherever the English tongue Is spoken or understood. Miss luito Claxton and n strong support will bo thu attraction r.t tbo Farnnm street theater all this week , opening with a Sunday matinee today in a magulllcent re vival of IJ'Ennery's great success , the "Two Orphans.

They have called beautiful scenic ef fects to the nld of wit nnd music , nnd ono of the most striking features of their perform ance is the charming picture disclosed at the beginning , uhen the curtain goes up on n perfect bower of beauty.

"Tom's Vacation" is snid to bo ono of the purest , cleanest ana truest artistic mus ical comedies boforu the public. "Tom's Va cation" is a light skit from n dramatic point of view , presenting little "heavy" actlun nnd loss plot , but it is a wholesome medley of good thing.s cleverly put together nnd toned with iclincd sentiment nnd an npundanco of exquisite music. The ploy was written for the solo purpose of affording Mr. Koyco nnd his company abundnnt scope for the intro duction of attractive nud artistic specialties.

J'ho story , plot and lines are by Mr. Goodall. the plan of construction and incidental ar rangement being Mr. Humphrey's , and some capital scenes and characteristic bits make the story an interesting study. The play will aoubtlcss lo : produced by "n leading com- inny next season. Mr. Humphrey is one of the best stage manager * in the country , and seems to bo equal to an endless imount of work. In the past four nonths ho directed the production of Mane , " "Thcrmidor , " "Tho Senator , " rehearsed two load companies "In All the Comforts of Homo" and assisted with "Miss lolvott , " besides teaching two hours a day n the Lvcouni school. Mr. Goodall is lardly less oucrgetlc , being nn ojraos t writer of both prose nnd oootry , nn artist who ( is constantly occupied , and thu two would ba admirably suited to each other in the work of plnywrlting. Mr. Charles Froh- man will huvo the option on "Two Colonels. " Dixcy's effort at pure comedy in "Tho Solicitor" was not n success in Now York and hn hus taken to farce.

J'ho lawyer agrees to accompany the lady ind her Gaiety friend on this errand , ind they go homo to dress. As soon is the lawyer is left nlono ( it has boon explained that his own wlfo is out of town ) Lho husband of the dissatisfied wife comes in. His purpose is to study the lineaments jf the celebrated lawyer with a view to reproducing them upon the stngo. As ai , earnest of Ins ability to copy any fnco bo : pay choose to represent , ho makes up In mltatlon of various celebrities , Including i\nton Soldi , Piftriok Snrsllold Gilmore , President Hnrrl qi ; < i and others , and then irocoods in the > presence , of the uudionco .o copy the lihvyor.

TWENTY-ONE EMPLOYES TO BE RELEASED I'lvo Clcrku nnd Slttooii Loiter Car rloiHYlio Wi-ro Appointed In Violation of Civil Service- Muat Go. The postmaster general has ordered thai sixteen mall carriers and live clerks bo dls missed from .sorvico In the Omaha poitofllco Soon after Postmaster Clarkson nssiimoi the duties of his onico , the United Stales civil service commission called attention t ( the fact that in the nppolntnicn of clerks and carriers in the Omaha postnnlca the civil service law ; hod not boon strictly obsorvod. The postmas ter was notified that the law rcqulrec that every porion who had successfully passed the civil service examination , before the local board hero , should bo given n chance to take n position In the service in propoi order or In rotation with rufaranco to tliu time of his application and examination. It seems that a number of mon who hail successfully passed the examination wore absent nt the time tholr services were desired - sired In the Omaha ofllco and consequently they were not notified. Some of these en tered complaint with the cominl-isloii nt Wushingtonwhluhrosultcd In nsporlnlln- spuclor bilngsont out hero by the commis sion. The inspector mndo n lengthy report on the caso. Ilo wound It uu with the recommendation thi.t live clerks nnd sixteen carrier * bo dismissed from the service in tlio Omaha poslofllco , and that the men whoso Interests had nnt been protected nnd who had .stood the examination , should bo nppjlntod In stead. Tryinir to Protect the Men. Postmaster Clarkson 1ms endeavored to protect the men whom i-rucl late has over taken , because some of thorn hnvo been in the service longer than has thu postmaster him self ; others hnvo been suuuitutcs in thu olllco and have acquired gioat proficiency in thowotk. Othcis have been promoted from the lower ranlcs on merit. Hut the Civil Ser vice commission put its oflirial foot down very iirmly. It insisted that the recommen dations of its inspector bo complied with to the lettur. Meantime Postmaster General \Vnnu- mnKor Instructed ono of the special ngenls of the Postofllco department to investigate llio Omaha case nnu report fully upon it , but before - fore that report could possibly hnvo leachea Washington , a peremptory order Instructing the postmaster to remove the men was re ceived from the postmaster general. Ki'HiiU < > ! ' the * dinner. It Is apparent that the Civil Service com mission wants to show its authority and chose Omaha ns u gooil place for practice. The postmaster general under the law , teen- nically could do nothing but accede to their demands. Ono of the results will bo that competent and experienced men must step nsido for men not so well qualified for the work. The gcner.-sl elllcioney of the service In the Omaha ofllco will suffer by the change. Postmaster Clnrkson wns seen nnd icfused to talk nbout the orders from his superiors lending a niodlllcation of the order which ho lopes to secure. Ilo refused to civo the lames of the men marked for the olllclal axe. Kctlornl Court Notew.
