TRINITY COLLEGE,

HARTFORD, c., July /, 1898.
To the Rev. j. Isham Bliss, President
of the Convention, etc. MY DEAR REV
EREND SIR have given careful thought
to the message which you, with the
other members of the committee,
brought TO me last week from the con
vention of the diocese of Vermont. l
esteem highly the honor which you have
done me, and know the Importance of
the work which you have asked me to
undertake. But, after full consideration,
l must ask you to signify to the conven-
tion that | respectfully decline the eiec-
ton so kindly offered. l am sure that
you cannot fail to find for your chief
pastor one more worthy of the honor and
better suited for the work.
With the assurance of high esteem, 1
am, Very truly, yours,
SAMUEL HART.
The Standing Committee met Wednes-
dav and issued call for another special
convention 10 be held in st. Paurs
church, Burlington, Wednesday, August
80, to elect a bishop to succeed Bishop
Bissell.
We copy, in this connection, a few ex-
tracts from our exchanges: From Bur
lington it is telegraphed: "The news
that Rev. DIR. Samuel Hart, of Hartford,
Ct, had declined the Office of bishop of
the Episcopal diocese of Vermont was
received here with regret, though it was
not entirely unexpected"
From Rntland: "Dr Samuel Harts
decision not to accept his election as
Episcopal bishop of Vermont was a keen
disappointment to all church people re-
gardless of creed. His fitness for the
place led all to hope that he would ac-
cept 1t is thought here that DR.. Carey
Of Saratoga will be selected for the posi-
tion."
The Troy Press says: ''It is said that
the declination of DIR. Samuel Hart of
Hartford, Conn, to take the bishopric

A FREEMASON 81 YEARS.

p. NJ, w. Il. Adams, better known as
"Oliver Optic" at the Milton Masonic
gathering the other night said in his re-
marks that convention of old men of
all nations was soon to be held in France,
and no man under 95 years of age was to
be permitted to attend. Mr.. Adams also
said that he wanted much to take MI.
Charles L. G. Breck to that convention,
as he hoped to be there in that country
before the middle of July. He claimed
that he could present a man, in the per-
son of Mr.. Breck, who would rival all
nations, inasmuch as he was good
man, possessing not only all the riches
in the fullness of a perfect life of almost
96 years, but in the fact that he had been
good, true and perfect Mason of over
81 years experience, an experience un-
equaled by any other man in the country
and perhaps in the world.
Mr.. Breck is the one survivor of the
''Three Macedonians," so we'll known to
Masonic history in the United States,
who rendered such wonderful and tell
ing aid to Union Lodge of Dorchester,
Mass, and Masonry of the world during
that great ruggle of fifty years ago for
Masonic liberty and freedom.
Charles Breck and his brothers, Robert
NJ. Todd and Thomas T. WadswOrth,
were born and lived in Milton beyond
the Neponset River, and they all of them
lived to fill the highest positions in
Union Lodge.
Large and hfelike portraits of these
three men hung in places of honor in the
hall during the exercises when Macedo-
nian Lodge was constituted on Wednes-
day, June 2S.
1t is understood now that the Masonic
fraternity of Massachusetts will make an
effort to send Past Master Breck to
| France to attend the convention men.

NEW YORK AT GETTYSBURG.

This week has been a marked one for
the veterans of the Empire State, in that
their monument on that field was dedi-
Gated. The report of the exercises says:
"The New York state monument is
the finest and m st artisticly command
ing of the many monuments located on
this historic battle ground. 1t occupies
a commanding position 100 yards east of
the federal monument, and is near the
principal entrance to the cemetery. The
monument consists of tall, polished
granite shaft, encircling the base of
which are four scenes of the Gettysburg
battlefield in bronze alto relieve, and at
the top of which is bronze statue of
Victory. The column is supported by a
handsome granite base, with tablets
commemorative of the heroes who took
part in the battle. The battle scenes
are: General John A. Reynolds dying
on the field, General Hancock wounded
and being assisted from his horse, Cen
eral Sickles struck in the leg by ball
and falling into the arms of General
Joseph b. Carr, and General SlOcum
holdiog a council of war. The monu-
ment is ninety six feet in height The
Goddess of Liberty at the top is fifteen
feet tall. She holds an olive wreath in
her ext ended right hand, and in her left
garland of flowers and liberty pole
surmounted by liberty cap. The statue
faces the New York section of the ceme-
terry, and the extended right hand seems
to pronounce a benediction over .the
dead heroes from the Empire State. The
monument cost the state S65,OO0.

INC Associated Press AGENT at Tacoma,

The Associated Press agent at Tacoma,
State of Washington, telegraphs on the
Fourth: Mgr. Satolli, Ablegate of Pope
Leo, states through DR.. O'Gorman, that
there are pending diplomatic negotia-
tions to bring the Greek Church of Rus
sia into the keeping of the Vatican.
The Gar is now the h, ad of the Rus
sian Church. Father O'Gorman was
asked to reduce this statement to writ
ing and have Mgr. Satolli sign it in order
that there might be 20 question as to its
authenticity. He said: "That is unnec-
essary. | speak for Mgr. Satolli. |
have talked the whole matter over with
him, and you may say that he says it
through me- his interpreter" Church
men take it for granted that if the Gar
is to place his State church under the
control of Rome, it is in the interest of
Leo's hope to effect the disarmament of
the great nations of the world and Sc
cure ultimate universal peace and the
arbitration of international quarrels.
