war aud epidemic, which have an Important
Influence on assimilation, cause, ho says,
decided changes In the normal proportion
of male nnd femalo births. Dr. Schenck
asserts that the lulluouco of determining
the sex lies entirely with tho mother. Ho
upproves a liberal diet of albuminous food
nnd requlrex that It shall bo taken for a
period of four months. He says a woman
who desired a mnlo offspring hod tbo fol
lowing diet betoro undergoing hla treat
ment: Breakfast A cup of coffee, with milk and
sugar and a roll.
Lunch Two lightly boiled eggs, bacon and
a roll.
DlnneMsoup, with balls of fat meat,
rtany potatoes, green vegetables and a
good quantity of pudding, sweets and fruit.
Llttlo meat wns permitted. Tea or sweet
coffee with cako could bo taken.
Supper Cold meat, rake, pudding and
bread. A glass nnd a halt of water with
wlno was drunk during the day.
Additional 1)1.1.
i
As tho nbovo diet was not found suffi
ciently nlbumlnous. Dr. Schenck ordered
tho fallowing:
Drcakfnpi A cup of milk without sugar
and biscuits,
Lunch Lean ham, underdone, nnd a roll.
Dinner A llttlo soup, a quantity of
roasted meat. No potatoes, peas, beans or
linseed as vegetables. No pudding or fruit.
Some cheese, tea or milk, eggs and biscuits.
Supper Fresh roast meat, cheese, a
little bread and apple.
Three glasses of "water were taken dally,
with a llttlo whlto wine.
Again tho diet had to be varied, for, al
though the latter prescription contained
much .more albumen, it was not sulllctently
dissolved. Tho albuminous food, therefore,
wag Increased and tho fatty substances and
carbo-hydrates withdrawn for ten days.
This was continued later. The treatment
satisfied the doctor nnd tho woman after

Tho result wub entirely satisfactory.
Dr. Schenck monttons twenty-nine such

BISHOP BURIES HIS ROMANCE

Hook of Life,
(Copyright. 1901. by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, March !. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Ambition
sated and lovo denied This In brief Is the
history of Wlnnlngton Ingram, King Ed
ward's new nppolntvo to tho see of Lon
don. A bishop nt 42 of tho world's
metropolis In direct line of succession to
tho archbishopric of Canterbury, the
proudest ecclesiastical honor In Great
lirltaln's gift, with riches nnd worldly
power at command, ho has all that heart
could dcslro .sale love.
The bishop has burled his romance, but
It has left Its mark. Tho story of Arthur
Foley Wlnnlngton Ingram would convert
tho most hardened skeptic to belief In the
law of compensation. Ills father's modest
living at Stamford rectory Inspired the
studious boy with simple .tastes nnd when
ho obeyed a call to tho priesthood ho was
Mtliflcd to begin at tha bottom of tho
ladder. He filled tho post of curato nt St.
Mary's, Shrewsbury, hixtecn years ago, at
tho opening of his enrecr. In 1893 ho was
rector of Ilethnal Green. Two years later
he had become canon of St. Paul's and the
surtragon bishop of Stepney.
Ills preferment was literally tho work of
bis own hands. Ho labored for his parish
with a zeal that was almost unparalleled.
No sacrifice was too great. Ho was one
with his people, lived among them and
was Idolized by them. They called him "Tho
Working Illshop." He used to say laugh
ingly that he was tho busiest man In Lon
don, for he prepared speeches on top of
omnibuses, composed sermons In tram
enrs and ato his lunch in tho underground
trains.
Ilrtrntlicd to DauKlitrr or Luxury.
It was tw'o years ago thnt tho bishop's
romance came to a focus, . when It wns
nnnounced that Lady Ulrica Duucombe,
youngest of tho four fnmous beauties,
daughters of tho earl of Faversham, was
to becoino his bride. All London was
startled. Tho bride-to-be, strikingly like
her lovely sister, tho lata duchess of
Lclnstcr, was barely 21. Her del'lcatc
charm had been fostered In an environ
ment of softest luxury. Tho mnn sho had
chosen dwelt among tho masses In the most
laborious diocese In Kngland. It would
mean self-immolation, her friends said.
Hut tho nffalr was evidently a lovo match.
Lady Ulrica, always of n serious cast of
thought, entered heart and soul Into tho
bishop's plans. For thrco short months ho
lived In a fool's paradise, beforo the en
gagement was abruptly broken. Whether her
eournga' faltered, or whatever Interfered,
nono dared ask. Hut with tho wedding
day already In view tbo benuty, who had
declined an carl for his sake, refused to
marry her churchman lover.
Tho bishop, stunned by tho blow which
crumbled his happiness, wont abroad. He
returned a changed man. Hp Is still "The
Working Illshop" with a llfo devotion to his
work which has spiritualized and ennobled
his, face and bearing, nut tho youthful
buoyancy thnt characterized his splendid
energy has gone. His romance cost him
dear.
King Kdward'a appointment was In the
nature of a reward for his labors In his
pofrcr diocese. Ingram Is tho youngast
holder of thu see.

Tho Foreign oftlco here did not originally

to transmit thu nnswer previous to the

cordlns to tho British view of tho case,
would havo put the onus of Ita lapsing on

ST. PETERSBURG. March 9. Tho official

"In Its sollcltudo for tho children of tho

thoso who have gonu astray, tho Holy
synod has deliberated upou tho Christian
and nntl-ccclestlcnl teachings of Count

to, in order to preserve tho pence of tho
church, to Issue n circular dealing with
tho heresies ot Count Leo Tolstoi."
Tho circular Is as follows: "Count Leo
Tolstoi, to the grief nnd horror of Iho wholo
orthodox world, has, by speech nnd writing,
unceasingly driven himself from nil connec
tion with tho orthodox church, and this not
only clandestine!?, but openly and In tlie
knowledge of .all persons. All attempts to
Inlluenco blm from this conduct have proved
without avail. Consequently, the orthodox
church nn longer considers him ttf bo ono
pf Its members nnd cannot regard him as
such as long as ho does not repent and does
not become reconciled to tho church.
"We, therefore, plnco on record hla apos
tacy from the church and pray the Lord to
restoro him to a comprehension ot th(j

WASHINGTON, Mnrcu 9. (Special Tele
gram.) North and South Dakota nro to be
consolidated Into ono Internal revenuo col
lection district. This announcement was
madd today at tho Treasury department
after Secretary Oago had considered tho
recommendations of Commissioner Ycrkcs
that tho Dakotas should bo connected. It
takes nn executive order to establish a
new collection .district, but tho recotn
mendatlou of Secretary Gago and Commis
sioner Ycrkcs will uudoubtedly'bo approved
by the president.
In n measure the unexpected happened
In this case, ns tho policy of tho officials
Is to diminish rather than lncrenso tho
number of collection districts. Tho con
nection of tho two states will entail tho
appointment of a collector and us many
deputies ns mny bu necessary.
Tho Dnkotas have for years been at
tached to tho Nebraska district and re
cently the proposition was mado to attach
North Dakota to Minnesota and South Da
kota to Iowa. This was not favor
ably received by tho officials. A counter
proposition was then mado by Senators
Kylo nnd Gamble, Hansbrough nnd Mc
Cumber to consolidate tho states, hut at
tho outset tho prospects for affirmative
action were not regarded ns bright. Tho
matter hat been tho subject of several
conferences between the senators and rep
resentatives from tho states affected nnd
the trensury oniclals, and finally Commis
sioner Yorkes w-as Induced to npprovo tho
Idea.
It has not yet been decided whero tho
headquarters of tho now district Is to bo
located, but It will probably bo at Aber
deen or Sioux Falls. It has been practi
cally decided that It shall ho In South Dn
kota. Tho appointment of a collector will
probably result In .an Interesting contest
between tho representatives from tho Da
kotas. Hoot Inalata ou Sunder.
Notwithstanding tho' vigorous and em
phatic protest" by Senator Piatt against
tho appointment of Colonol Sanger of
Brooklyn as assistant secretary of war, that
gentleman will undoubtedly bo appointed.
Secretary Root Is firm In hla determination
to havo n man of his own cholco as his
assistant and tho point Is mado that as the
place has no direct bearing on party polt
tics in Now York state, tho senators from
Now York havo mo direct Interest In the
