he was elected at the recent diocesan con-
vention in Providence.
Miss Mary Rachel Dobson. the eldest
daughter Of Austin Dobson, has Joined a
missionary settlement for college women in

Rev. DIR. Edward Gayer Andrews, one Of
the board of bishops of the Methodist Epis-
copal church and the head of the New
York east conference, is nearing his I'D
birthday, and is still remarkably otrong and
we'll preserved.
Rev. DIR. w. j. Chichester. who is to sue
coed DR.. Barrows as pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of Chicago, is the paCtor
of the Emmanuel church In Los Angeles,
Cal, and is one of the foremost ClCrgymen
on the Pacific coast. He was born in Bal

he preached a remarkable sermon in Wash
ington while the battle of Gettysburg was
In progress.
Rev. DIR. Daniel b. Randall Of Portland,
Me-, who celebrated the ninetieth anniversary
of his birth recently, is the oldest and most
widely known Methodist minister in Maine.
For more than half a century he has been
engaged in active work In the ministry of his
church, and for siXty-nine years he has held
a continuous membership In the Maine con-

st. Patrick's cathedral, New York City. is
to have a set of chimes, and for the first
time since the church wCs built there will
be the sound of bells to announce the time
of services. The new bells were made in
Savoy, France, by the Paccards, a famous
firm of bell founders. There are nineteen
bells, and this makes the cathedral chimes
more numerous than those of either Trinity
ten and nine. The largest bell in st. Patrick's
chimes weighs about 1000 pounds, and the
smallest weighs only 800 pounds.
Cardinal Antonelli's will bequeathed %
francs to the Hospital of the Holy Ghost, in
Rome, and a similar sun to the holy places
at Jerusalem. Such small requests by a rich
prelate excited remark, but it was found
that, by an old Roman law, no will was
valid unless it contained these two legacies,
the minimum sum being 5 francs. At Genoa
a similar bequest had to be made to the
Hospital of Ponnatione, and at Turin to
that of st. Maurice and st. Lazarus, the OBJ
ject being in all cases the support of these
institutions. Antonelli, dying at the Vatican,
conformed to the old usage.
