HILL VERY Tie ÖFMM DEFICIT
Announced That St. Paul GlobeWill Suspend on
April 30th.'(Speciafto Tho Times-Dispatch.)
ST. PAUL, MINN., April 2L.After a lifeof thirty years the St. Paul Globe has an¬nounced Its suspension with tho Issue ofApril 30th. The Globe at the present timeis doing better than it ever, di'd. It isnearly on ? paying basis, but the edicthas been signed consigning the paper tooblivion..The paper's circulation is greater than
.ever before, but the advertising is ratborslack. In spite of apparent prosperity thepaper has always lost money. 7'he reasonalleged for the suspension is that JamesJ. Hill, owner of the paper, is weary ofputting up money to pay for Its publica¬tion. The Northern Securities case is set¬tled, the Slate of Minnesota has a Demo¬cratic Governor and the Legislature hasadjourned. The purpose of the paper Istherefore finished:It is aJso .anVfféd' -*hat the city of St.
Paul Is so ¿imitad In its public spirit thatit is little more than a suburb of. Minne¬apolis, It was proposed at a meeting ofthe Commercial Club yesterday that thename of the town be changed to EastMinneapolis and that a rapid transit com¬pany bo installed to make It easy for thepeople of .St. Paul to transact business InMinneapolis.As tibe Pioneer Press Is also owned by
M'r. Hill, it was determined to suspend thoGlobo and concéntrate upon the PioneerPress.

BISHOP WATSONPASSES AWAY
Distinguished and VenerablePrelate Dies at Ad-
va'nced Age.
BISHOP STRANGE SUCCESSOR
Aged Bishop Watson Had BeenGradually Failing for
Some Time.
(Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch;)WILMINGTON, N. C. April 21.-Rlght
Rev. Alfred Agostine Watson, Bishopof tho'Diocese of Eastern North Caro¬lina, died at his home hore this'after¬noon at, 3:35 o'clock, surrounded by themembers of hie family, Bishop Watsonhad ·'been gradually «Inking for severalweeks, his death having been expectedfor many days er» his strong constitutiongay*, way.Bishop Wa/tson was eighty-six yearn
of age,"and the -most venerable of, th·Episcopal ministry In the State.
[ Bishop Watson Was born In New YorkAugust 21, mg. He was a eon ot Jesseand Hannah Watson. He graduated fromthe University of New York In 1B37. TheUniversities of North Carolina and ofthe South conferred the degrees of A. M.and X>. D. Upon him. He studied law inthe/· office of Judge Kent In New Yorkcity, and. was licensed to practice In theSupreme' Court of ,th· State of-NewYork .In 1841.After practicing law two years he
studied, for the .Episcopal ministry, andwas ordained deacon In 18M and priest In18«.He ' came South and' located at Ply¬
mouth, this Stato, and later. was calledto "the rectorate of the church at New¬born, where he ivas when the Civil Warbroke out.Rev; Mr." Watson enlisted as chapla.'n
In the Confederate army¡ and he per-rformed conspicuous duty in that capacity.Ip 1863' ho was elected assistant rectorof St. James Parish,-'of -Wilmington, nad.In' M$4, upon the resignation of BishopThomas B. Atkinson, who was acting'as rector,, Rev. Mr. -Watson was electedrector of the pariah. He continued asrector until 1883, when the North Caro¬lina. Diocese was divided, andJ?r. Wat¬son, as he then was, was elected bishopOf the Diocese of East Carolina, whichoffice he held, up* to the time of hla.death. >He was consecrated bishop.. April 17.
1891. His first official act was the ordina¬tion of Rev.. Robert Strange, D. D., onApril 20th, three days later.' It le arather remarkable coincidence that Dr.Strange,';who was-ordained by the Bishop,succeeded him,. Dr. Strango having only,.been elected coadjutor hlshop last May.
It will, be seen that Bishop Watson'swhole clerical'life was given to EasternNorth Carolina, and he was beloved andrespected throughout the entire easternpart of the (State.Bishop 'Watson was à man of wonder¬
ful mind and character. Ho was solid ¿as the rock of Gibraltar, and alwaystook a decided stand on all questions.He was the embodiment of truth, andwhatever lie said or did could- alwayebe relied :upon. The main characteristicof the· man was his unswerving devo¬tion'to what he conceived to be his duty*Nothing could thwart him when he be¬lieved he was right.As a parish priest he has never had
his equal·''J ? this part of the country.Hé was devoted to ail his parishioners·,high and low, great and small, all .alike,and he was never known to mako a,.discrimination, '
