The proposal has been submitted for the sanction of the chancellor of the diocese, whose decision is awaited. The chalice is not of distinguished design. On the contrary it is of precisely the same date and pattern as are the chalices of several neighboring churches and many others about the country. It is 54 inches high, and is made of hammered silver. It has a conventional floral design round the bowl, but its cover, which was originally made so as to be used as a paten, has disappeared. Its' hall-marof 1571 coincides with the year In which Pius V. issued his final Bull excommunicating Queen Elizabeth," and It may be, as there are many chalices elsewhere of uniform design, that Queen Elizabeth, to show her disdain of that Bull ordered generally that these sacred vessels should be of this prescribed pattern. However, this point never has been settled, and locally there are some who think that it was Bishop Sandys of Worcester and afterward of London, an arbitrary Calvinist, who loved to reduce these things to dull uniformity, who had older chalices broken and worked up to this simple design. Police Back After Visiting End of Continent. Seattle, Wash. Shaggy as Esau, muscled like gladiators and as tough is rawhide, five men, trudging behind 20 dogs, dragging five toboggans, filed through the streets of Dawson City a few mornings ago, fresh from the uttermost rim of the earth, says a Dawson City messenger. It was the Fort MacPherson patrol of the royal northwest mounted police. The men left Dawson the day after Christmas, traveled 31 days northwilds to ward through unexplored MacPherson, remained there 24 days and wrere the rest of the time returning. Every man came back in the pink of condition, but four of the dogs were missing. One, Old Dan, slipped from the teams and returned from a point 200 miles north of Dawson alone. The other three died en route from the hardship? of the trip. The men started with 1,500 pounds of food and othr material and 300 This lasted pounds of dog supplies. them until well near the end of the outgoing journey, with no other replenishment than one caribou killed half way over. On the return not one caribou or big animal wa3 obtained There was no suffering from want of food either going or coming, and the rare oxygen and the vigorous exer cise put muscle and flesh on the men, notwithstanding their hard trip on snowshoes, following up the toboggans. The snow was very deep, and on many of the rivers the water covered the ice, having surged up from the springs in the river beds, owing to the mild winter, so the trails were not so favorable as last year and such good time was not made. The police found that the Karluk, Capt. Potter, was the only whaler wintering at Herschell this year, Capt. Mogg, with the Olga, going further east before winter set in.

The case of the daughter of Paul Thiede of this city is puzzling physicians. Two months ago the little girl swallowed a peanut, which lodged in her windpipe. Her life was despaired of, as it was supposed that she would die from strangulation. Fighting constantly for breath, the child survived several hours, when her breathing suddenly became easier. The peanut had passed on Into her lungs. She has been gravely 111, but her health is gradually becoming better. An operation to remove the peanut would probably be fatal.
