The general convention of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church of America, 10 be
held in this city for three weeks, begin
ming with October 5, is the first general
convention of this church that has ever
been held in Warrington. The event is
one of great Importance, and il is looked
forward to with great expectancy by the
churchmen of the city and the diocese of
Washington
The general conventions of the Episco-
pal Church are held triennially in some
one of the principal cities of the coultry.
but it has happened that Washington has
never been chosen before. A the last
convention held in Minneapolis in 1895,
II was decided that "the convention city
should not be overlooked any longer. and
Washington was chosen by sarge vote.
The convention consists of the house
Of bishops. composed of the seventy-five
! bishops of the American Episcopal
| Church, and of the house of deputies
composed of five clerical and five lay
| members from every diocese in the
! church. The bishops are not only from
every diocese in this country. but also

deputies at the convention. They repre-.

prominent laymen in the Episcopal
Church.

only one large enough for the full gath

| of the house of bishops will be held in

| house of deputies in the body of the
church. There have been provided also
rooms and offices near the church for
the committees. The chancel of the
church will be walled off from the body
during the convention, as is the rule dur
ing business meetings.
There win be two sessions daily during
the convention. The meetings of the
house of deputies will be open 10 the
public. Those of the house of bishops
will be executive. The meetings will take
up many questions of great interest not
only TO Episcopalians but TO the public
generally, and it is believed that the
meetings of the deputies will be fully
attended.

ON THEIR WAY HOME.
The District Boys Have Departed
From SHntiauo


The boys of the First Regiment Dis-
trict of Columbia Volunteers. left San
tiago yesterday en- route TO Montauk
Point, n. Y.
The start was to have been made on Sat
urday, but Col. Harres filed a protest on
the ground that the Catania. the vessel
assigned to his command. was unsea-
worthy. The troops were then assigned
to the Victor.
1t is hardly probable that the boys will
remain any length of time az Montauk
Po.nt. The regiment is in splendid con-
dition, and very few cases of fever have
been discovered
An effort is being made to have the reg
iment assigned TO quarters at or near
Washington, and il is probable that the
authorities will agree TO this.
. Another death occurred in the regi-
ment on Saturday night. Private Soc
rates Maupin, of Company G (Morton Ca
dets), succumbed TO typhoid fever The
body was buried at Santiago. Private
Maupin was the son of Mr. William Mau-
pin. of 22S East Capitol Street. The fam
ily learned of the death through a cable
gram from another son, who is also a
member of Company G.
Young Maupin was only eighteen wears
old and was very popular. He was cap
tain of the Eastern High School football
team last year andsa member of the Net

River View Tourn.,,,.,,

The grand tournament and dress bail
which will take place at River View on
Wednesday next will be the twelfth that
has been held at that resort, and judging
from the interest taken in it by the coun-
try people in Maryland and Virginia, as
well as by the people of Alexandria and
Washington, it will be the finest ever held
at the View.
Already some forty of the best-known
tournament riders in this section of the
county have entered the lists to tilt for
the four valuable prizes offered by Capt
E. S. Randall, the proprietor of River
View, and for the privilege of crowning
the queen of love and beauty and her
three attendant maids. The contest
promises to be close and interesting.
The riding will begin early in the after
noon and will be kept up until the four
most skillful knights are selected. At
night the coronation ceremonies will take
place, the leading knight placing the
crown on the brow of the young lady
he thinks the sweetest and prettiest in
the room and the next three knights
crowning the maids of honor. This will
be followed by the grand coronation ball,
which will continue until late at night.
