AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA
Confederate Veterans Opposed to the Ap-
pomattox Park.
Resolutions of r. E. Lee Camp
Bishop Potter at Old Christ
Church.

Ever since the proposition to establish
a military park at Appomattox was made
there has been a great deal Of discussion
of the subject by Alexandria's confederate
veterans, many Of whom were officers in
high standing in the confederate states
army. There is general opposition to
the movement among them. r. E. Lee
Camp, Confederate Veterans, Of this city
has unanimously adopted resolutions as
follows: Whereas a movement has been
started to establish a national military
park at Appomattox Court House and
the different camps Of Confederate Vet
Grams have been asked to aid the move
ment. and whereas 1t does not seem adj
visable to us that a national park should
De established at that place; therefore, re-
served, in the opinion of r.. E. Lee Camp
OF this city, that the project to establish
national park at Appomattox Court House
pen De not oio encouraged and that our repre-
sentatives IN Congress be requested not to
lend their influence to the furtherance of
any bill having this object in view
Bishop Potter's Address.
Old Christ Church was packed to the
doors last night by the members of st.
Andrews Brotherhood and their friends,
who had come to hear Rt. Rev. Henry C.
Potter, bishop Of New York, deliver an
address Just prior to the address short
special service was held. The bishop OPEN
ed with word picture of the corruption
in New York, telling how it had been over
come by the little bands of men who had
organized for the purpose of good govern
ment, and how they had worked together
with such good results. He used this as
We're for the brotherhood and how in unity
they could overcome many difficulties and
reach the end for which they were organ
lied. He described the organization of the
brotherhood nine years ago. The bishop
spoke feelirgly of his connection with the
Virginia Seminary and told how many
years ago he had stood in that same chan
Gel, being permitted to come in from the
seminary to read the services.
1t is remarked as a singular thing that
among the most prominent bishops in the
Episcopal Church three of them should
have been at the Virginia Seminary at the
Massachusetts as a Junior class man,
Bishop A. NJ. Randolph of Virginia. as
middle class man, and Bishop Henry C.
Potter as senior class man.
