Grown With the Time*. may becompleterevolutjon >' In the Laws of in* Church?Blahop Merrill Will be Remembered lor His Resolution* Praying1 for Martial Law. Spcclal Dispatch to the Intelligencer. IIICAGO. May S.?Episcopacy In the Methodist sense Is an entirely affair. Like most other features In the denominational polity, It Keoia t have l>c*n an evolution. It is not an atlon of any olllce existing In other riches. It has grown out of th? ex li. nciw'S of the caa?. In colonial days in America the need of a superintending oificsr, who should travel at largo among the scattered societies, meet and infer' 'with the preachers and ar? range their work, was apparent. Mr. v. sley, as the recognized head of v thodlsm In the new vrorld, delegated his authority to his associate In England, Thomas Coke, L. T#. D., who appeared at the first" general conference (commonly known as the "Christmas conference") at Baltimore, December i i"41- Dr. Cnko was twofimlzed and approved as a general superintendent and had associated with him In his navel office Francis Asbury, by election and consecration of the conference. This is the rise of the Methodist Episcopacy. A technical definition of It = ms to have been studiously avoided. The church was Intent upon having an efficient officer rather than that the office iteclf should be put in allgnmeul with any existing prelacy. Thus th? church does not affirm that its Episcopacy is a superior order In the clergy, though it ha* conserved its dignity by making it a life tenure and by an Impressive ritual for Induction into it. May Narrow fo a Diocese. As the church has never crystaUsed Its theory of the ^Episcopacy in any fnrrml mnnner. It la ?till tree under con tltutional process to make any alterations which the conditions now existing may seem to datnand.. Thus it may change the life tenure and make th?* office elective for a |erm of years with or without eligibility for re-election. It may narrow the pruwtit world-wide superintondency to a diocese. These changes will undoubtedly be made if ever the cas? seems to demand them. TJaw of the church bearing upon changes in Ihe Episcopacy is found in r. hat Is known as the "third restrictive rule." 'The general conference shall not change nor alter any part or rule of our government so as to do away wkh the Episcopacy nor destroy the plan of our itinerant superintendency." Hut this jjbstrlctive rule can be set aside by a three-fourth vote of the members of the annual conference. Under such a process the Episcopacy could be a|tered in any way thought desirable or it could ba actually abolished. . General Average for Bishops. To this unique 7>flloe forty-four men have been promoted Including Dr. Coke. Of this number fifteen, are still effective and two are honorably retired or. account of affe. The average age of th? bishops oq consecration to office ha.j been 50.3 years. Bishops Coke an-1 Janes were the youngest, viz.: 37; BlshnlHiuf Ci? r>f tha ttvplw bishops elected in the first fifty-eight years ot Mothoclfst Episcopacy only two exceeded the averag-.* age of all at conaccratlon. During the last flfiyelqht years, of tlw thlrty-ewo electcd elgKteen have exceeded the average. The average age ot the ffctlv bishop la 65 yars. , Th freedom of tfoe church In dealing with' the fcplscpj&y is Illustrated by th- creatloilf of thf missionary Episcopacy by the general conference of 185(5. Until th* present the missionary Epi3copacy have bejjnlimited to Africa and India. Fdjir 'h**? been elected to th? fb rmer, to th? latter. Missionary bishoprics may be created for other continents of th?? Missionary Episcopacy or may be #et aalde entirely at the discretion of the body now in s-aslon. . ( * Bishop Merrill and Martial Law. When BlPhop Merrill was in the second year of his pastorate at Greenup Street church. In 1862. Covington In those days of the civil war was trying to preserve the tlgment of neutrality, but'many of its resident citizens and families were sympathisers with the south. In this feeling of uncertainty confederate scouts appeared in considerable "numbers on the heights overlooking the city. They belonged to Kir by Smith's army, then making a demonstration against Cincinnati. A panic ensued. Peoplo were anxious to gut away from Cincinnati. Excited parIshloriere besieged the biihop, who firmly replied: "1 cannot advise you In thi? emergency; but for myself I certainly shall remain in Covington." The danger of sack for the city was Imminent. There were no federal troops, and the municipal authorities were in xyrnpathy with the confederacy. In thii crnprirnnrv a rlH?.pn'n mr?Ptlnir wait called. Should Not Shed Each Other's Blood. One of tbe clergymen present made a - Pacific addresa, saying: "We be brethren and should not shed each other's blood." This advice was not tak?"?n kindly. Whereupon Bishop Merrill took from hln pocket a common passbook, anil putting It against brick wall wrote across the png? the following preamble and resolution: Whereas, Public safoty Is menaced, nn u/ntl am nwinutir nnil tiff* hv thll flMf approach of confederato forces; therefore H-nolved, That we, the citizens of ^"vlngton, In mass meeting assembled, earnestly petition the federal commander of the military department to place our eJfy under martial Jaw nnd furnish uf with troops adequate for our protection. The resolution wan adopted with a whirl and immediately telegraphed to the federal commandant nt Louisville, and within an hour Covington was under mnrtlol law.

Celery King Is sold So 25c. and GOc. pack* ages by druggists and dealers. ,1 the streets and restored order and peace to the city. When tho patriotic services of the bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church are recorded this which Bishop Merrill did Is worthy of mention. John L. the Idol.

Not all the excesses of which human nature Is capable can rob him of his prize-ring glory. He has paid $800 for a new liquor license, and may continue to sell rum at the same old stand on Broadway, in friendly rivalry with Corbett. his master, and with the gingerbread Walcott. He does not do his own "llckering," in his own saloon, but In a small place, not far away. "Doesn't he carry a Jag magnificently," exclaimed a worshipper on Monday, when John was telling two friends all about a chap what cuffed him on de ear, see. and was on de polit of beln* murdered by a left duke when the crowd Interfered to save him.

From the Burlington (Iowa> Hawkeye: The towr. of Delolt, which was platted in 1885, was re-surveyed recently and It was discovered that many of the .lot lines were wrong.

NEW YORK. May 5.?Whatever deductions are drawn from the stock market must be wholly negative, for the market continues near the level of stagnation. A slight flurry was given to the opening by the higher level of prices in London, and the room traders closed their contracts before the day's end, and j brought the level of prices back near to last night's close. Sugar moved quite easily at u higher range than yesterday, and exactly recovered yesterday'B loss as a net result. Long Island was quite active, and moved up to 89, but closed unchanged. The bonds of the company continued in active demund at advancing prices. The statement that the Pennsylvania has acquired control found credence, out a worxing uk? ment with the New York Central is believed to be Involved In the deal. The story of a steamship service to run from the Long Island coast was revived In connection with ihe movement In the stock. The reports of the mercantile agencies served to confirm the Impression of the reactionary course of prices of commodities and of trade activity. The current stagnation in Wall street Is the logical outcome of these conditions. Buyers are out of the market. But holders of securities are not yet aure that the current reaction Is not making for the ultimate health of the business. It Is perceived that the recent high level of prices wan such as not only to unduly stimulate production, but *180 to decrease the consumptive tjeniand. He curitles are obviously OQing nrmiy item until the problem of the level of prices and the volume of consumpton shall miJust Itself, to afford a basis for estli matin? future returns. j The export demand for manufactures ' continues, and exehnnge bills against I manufactures are In quite abundant I supply. The loan Item of the bank statement demonstrates that these bills are not being drawn, but are being used os collateral for loans, which Is an Incident of th?? process of placing loaps with foreign borrowers. The excess over the preliminary estimates of the bank's gain In dash was duo to tho extra day's operation with the sub-treasury. which yielded to the banks over $1,800,000, or as much as the rest of the week. The stock mnrket hos given evidence during the week of having reached an adjustment to the new conditions presented by the unexpected developments in the iron and steel trade of three weeks ago. The liquidation induced by thnt development over-ran itself. ns is the Invariable rule with speculative movement*, but the hears last week had to bid up prices to get Ijack stocks which had ben sold short. ?Kno Kaon dull, and roe iniiiu mum*:*. has moved In sympathy with stock*.

CHICAGO?The wheat market today was steady, helped by cables and good cash bids, July closing a shade lower; July corn closed u shade reduced and July oats %c higher. At the close provisions were weak at 10@12%c to 20<S>22V&c down. Wheat opened firm undor support from higher Liverpool and Paris cables. Trade was quiet throughout the sess- i Ion. Until the prospect for next sea- j son's campaign becomes somewhat | mora clearly defined Interest In the j market. It in thought Is not likely to ; become general. Following the opening there was a brief period of easiness be- ! cause of the reports of favorable weather and no further additions to the stories of damaging chinch bugs. This , was recovered, however, on the Im- j proved rash demand and better export < bids and the close was steady. Predlr- j tlons were made that the government ' report, expected Thursday, will raise ! the April condition above the present j figure. S0.1. Primary receipts were :i37,000 bushels, compared with 316,000 | bushels last year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 315 cars, against 422 last week and 213 a year ago.
