SOCIETY NOTES,

Sir Edward Thornton and his family, in spite
OF their natural pleasure at his advancement
In his profession by promotion, feel fully as
much regret at leaving their friends here as the
latter do at having them go. They have, ex-
cept for occasional visits to Europe, lived here
thirteen years, he having presented his Gre

then children so that all the associations Of

1ly are fond OF fOImallty, for its own sake but
rather prefer In their private life an absence of
unnecessary conventionalities. They like to
take long rambles into the country, clad In
suitable costumes, to ride horseback or play
at lawn tennis with their companlons and can
indulge these simple tastes for healthful recre-
at1ons With more freedom here than would be
possible 10 most cities even in the United States
without being made conspicuous, and Ger.
tainly more than would be admissible In q
European capital, where social position I'M
poses irsurmountable restraints. Sir Edward
and Lady Thornton have been very hospirable
quenuy and generously. Above all, they have
taken great interest in local charities, giving
to many With lavish hands. Sir Edward has
been, by virtue OF length OF residence here at
several years. The date for their departure is
not yet nxed, and they may be detained fn this

The Rev. DR.. Van Bokkelin, OF Buffalo,
preached last Sunday without ecclesiastical
authority In the Presbyterian church at Ca
louisville, Md. Steps have been taken against
him, and the bishops OF Buffalo and Maryland
n0ti0ed. The affair causes quite breeze
among the Episcopalians In Baltimore and Buf-
falo. In the latter city Right Rev. Bishop Coke
was called upon yester day, but he was very re-
u:tant to express himself relative TO the mat
ter. He regretted that the affair had been
published. he had he said, received q Rottf-
cation as 10 DR.. Van Bokkelin's actions from
the rector of the church at Catonsville and he
hoped that the reverend doctor would explain
himself satisfactorily. The rector's notification
was merely legal step. and one necessary to
be made In the case. The case Will doubtless
be presented TO the ecclesiastical council OF the
church at an early day. DR.. Van Bokkelin is at
present visiting In the east He Is rector OF the
wealthiest and Oldest Episcopal church In Buf-
