/ copal church. in Kingston. last Sunday.
that. beginning with the first Sunday In
Advent. incense would be offered In the
church. the subject has been the chief
topic OF conversation among ohUtch
I people Of all denominations here The
I opposition to this innovation in the
conservative old church OF 81. Johns
has been growing all week, and at the
morning service today number Of
persons prominent Ia the church We're
absent.
Some Of the most prominent families
that have worshipped there for years
have Withdrawn from the church and
Will refuse to contribute TO It's support.
They say that no priest has right %
come into church and, against the VIII
OF SO mary, establish ceremonies that
are distnHteful to them.
Soma time ago the Rev Charles VI.

the rector said. In referring to the OPP
podents OF incense: Though they sway
the sun on my right hand and the moon

IL has already been suggested that
those opposed to the extreme rltulllsm
of the rector may form a separate
church, and with priest more In hHr-

"Mr. McC. asked who was the citi-

amended.

information on the subject"
The undersigned takes a peculiar
pleasure in furnishing any information
of which he may be in possession, not

He therefore desires to state that the
pending bill for the charter amend
ments was introduced by him at the
request of five members of the Board Of
Aldermen and nine members of the
Common Council, being a majority of
both branches.
By way of further information, he
desires to state that so far as the bill
for the issue Of $1,000 Of street and

above named gentlemen, who are pos
sibly tolerably well-known in Alexan-
dria, state that they "Do cordially en-
dorse your (my) course in introducing
the bond bill and do earnestly solicit
you (me) to secure its passage if it be
possible"
Any other information hat may be
desired will be c%heerfully furnished.
In conclusion permit me to say that
it is a matter to be regretted that all Of
the attempts to modernize Alexandria
are likely to be defeated, or postponed
for two years at least, by reason of such
proceedings in the City Council as pre-
vented the Senator and Delegate from
getting possession of the bills needed
for that purpose, until it was too late
to enact them into laws. Yours truly,
GEORGE ~. MUSHBACH.
