Bishop Starkey is a native of Philadel-

he is past the four-score mark he con-
tinues his active duties with apparently
as much vigor as in years gone by, visit
ing the churches and missions in his
diocese with accustomed regularity.
Before entering the ministry he was oc-
cupied in Pennsylvania as a civil engineer
for several years. Having studied for the
ministry, he was ordained by Bishop
Alonzo Potter, and was sent to Pottsville,
Pa. Since then he has served as rector of
churches in Albany, Cleveland, Troy and
Washington, D. c.. being rector of the
Epiphany Church at the Capital during
the Wal of the Rebellion, and was anti
slavery in his views from he beginning.
During his partorate at Washington, his
health failed him, necessitating his re-
| tirement from pastoral duty, and for the
next few years he travelled in the inter-
ests of the General Missionary Societies.
His next active passionate was as rector
of st. Paurs Church, of Paterson, and in
1879 the convention of the Newark Diocese
| chose him as Bishop, to succeed the late
William Henry O~denhinnes, in which ca
pacity he has since served the diocese ac-
lively.

Society is not quite SO busy now attend
ing weddings as it was a few weeks ago.
May weddings are practically over and
May brides are congratulating themselves
that they have not all the preparation
necessary to such an event to make in the
hot weather. The last of these weddings
last week, was that of Miss Agnes Col
lard to Mr.. Harry Adams, in which he
bride was given away by her mother,
Mrs. Brice Collard, something unusual in
the history of weddings. and yet why is
it NOT better for a mother to give her
daughter away than for a brother or an
uncle? who can tell but Mrs. Collard
may be among the first to start a new
custom in weddings?
A probable early Tune wedding will be
that of Miss Alice Lyons to Mrs. Mr..
Frederick Mount, and another that of
Miss Davis, of Crawford, who has recently
removed with her parents to Clifton
place. Miss Davis is niece to Mrs John
a. Walker, is widely known among
the social circles of this city. She has a
beautiful voice and has in several occa-
sions sung at social gatherings, especially
