In the absence of express or implied restrictions imposed by its charter or by statute, a corporation owning real estate has. as an incident to its ownership, the same power as a natural person to dispose of or alienate it, provided it does so for a legitimate corporate purpose. The lands authorized to be acquired by (he defendant cemetery association are charged, by the charter, with a special trust, and by the deed by which they were conveyed they are charged with the same trust. This would amount therefore to a restriction upon the alienation of any of those lands of the association which would prevent it from carrying out its purposes, or tend to thwart the Washington Authorities Ig- l.ively Kidding for Pitts- Deacons Ordained as Priests This Morning.

In the Course of his remarks Dr. Coxe touched on the introduction of Christianity into the new world, placed an accented value upon the bestowal of the customs and dignity of the church to Christian religion and spoke of an approaching acceptance of the churchly rites and influence by the world church. The speaker opened with a brief discussion of the first Episcopal service on the newt continent by Sir Francis Drake on the Pacific coa«t, In 1 fit It, showing how the Episcopal church had contributed the beginnings of American Christianity. The church, declared the speaker, has given to American "e-ligion the three orders of Christian ministries-—bishops, priests and deacons— besides contributing a church with a complete and unbroken formation. The Episcopal church also carried the British prayer book into American services. In touching this the archdeacon delivered a Second.

He took a ham and disappeared. Af:er he had gained entrance those in charge of the hotel took precautions to guard against thieves, so when Mrs. Morris heard an unusual noise, apparently on the back porch, last •vening at 8 o'clock, she called one of he men and had him go to the porch to investigate. Xo trace of an intruder was found, but Mrs. Morris' fears were not quieted, so she went down stairs for her husband. When hey returned upstairs they found that ■.ome one had descended the rear stairs, rushed out of the kitchen door tnd into the alley in the rear. An investigation showed that a man had sained entrance to one of the rooms Dn the second floor in the evening and secreted himself in the servants' juarters over the kitchen. He then made his way over a small porch and raised a window leading to room IX, which is in the main part of the house. From this point ho would have been able to visit all the rooms on the upper floors. It seems that Mrs. Morris heard him moving about just as he opened the window, and when he detected the commotion he decided to make his escape. It is believed that the man was well acquainted with the house. The police were notified of the attempt at robbery.In opening his address, Bishop Talhot briefly summed up the discourse 37 shares of Evansville & Terra Haule R. It., par $50; preferred; sold tn G.

PROPERTY BOUGHT FOR NEW SYNAGOGUE Secretary of State For War, London of the preceding speaker, pointing out the historical setting for (he early foundations of the church in America. He said that the world was approaching the 300t hanniversary of Protestant religion, and that all mankind should feel thankful for its gift to the world. The bishop here reverted to a missionary subject. He stated that at the late general council, in Boston, the Laymen's association decided to commemorate this anniversary b yan acknowledgment of the thanks of man to his Maker, in the form of a great thank offering to be used toward the "conversion of the world." Bishop Talbot spoke of the occasion as an opportune one to the men of the church, to make a special offering for this cause. He said that as the movement had progressed it had gained strength, taking the name of the Men's Thank Offering, and was now of national volume. At the next general council to be held at Richmond, Va., in October, 1907, the reports, as well as the will be received, and it is anticipated by the heads of the church that between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 win be received from the offering. The bishop spoke simply and clearly on a topic of national interest. He expressed the value of the opportunity to give rather than the necessity that man should give. Beforg closing, Bishop Talbot paid a tribute to the gift-giving spirit of the women of the church in this day_ which he characterized as a missionary epoch.
