ANACOSTiAHAPPE NINGS
Rev. Davenport, Emmanuel Church Rector,
Removes to New Home.
Donated by Wealthy Persons, Whose
Identity is Not known Other
PIrns-Gcnerai News.

Rev. ". G. Davenport. the rector OF the
Emmanuel Protestant Episcopal Church of
Anacostia. has removed, with his family,
into the new rectOry, on Maple avenue some
distance away from the other. 1t has just
been acquired by Emmanuel parish. it is
said. through the generosity of outside per-
sons The fact that such action was be-
ing contemplated and other important mat
tiers in connection with the parish were be
ing considered was reported in The Star
several weeks ago.
As was stated. some benevolent persons
whose identity is purposely kept secret
but whose residence is said TO he outside of
Washington had communicated with the
rector and the vestry OF Emmanuel Church
with the intention of lifting the debt from
the old rectory, purchasing a newer ana
more suitable one. and then turning the
former into use as a home for a limited
number Of poor children. Matters have pro-
gTessed so far that the old rectory is now
said TO be free OF debt and the new one
practically owned already by the parish.
II Is said the attention of the beneVoien ut
persons already alluded to was directed
toward this locality for the carrying out
of their idea OF building a children's home
by the success that Mrs. W G. Davenport
has achieved with the Bell Home at Co.

cd 70 be thoroughly aware Of what Is going

In regard to the Cd rectory. an entirely
wrong impression has gone forth. We aev-
er intended to do anything more than use
the place as q quiet, temporary home Tor

on a very small scale until another site
could be secured and a larger building be
erected thereon"
