not logical, when the reports Of every
department of the church show a
steady and healthy growth.
1t would only be fair play to the
supporters of the project to give them
an opportunity to show whether or not
the diocese practically favors division,
was suggested by Rev Otto Brandt,
D. D., of Mahonoy City.
In discussing the financial feature
of the case. Rev. Mr.. Woodle made
the remark that the general sentiment
of the people at large is that the Epis-
copal church is the church of the
richer classes.
mo, no" came from every side.
"Of course it isn't So" rejoined Rev.
Mr., Woodle. It's a lie, but it is re-
garded as such nevertheless"
Rev Rogers Israel would not rest
easy under this imputation, negative
though it was. let me say in re-
gard to that utterance," he interrupt
ed, that two. thirds or maybe three
fcurths of the pews in this church
are filled by working people, mechan-
les and the like" Rev. Gilbert H.
Sterling, :. r, D., rector of the Church
of the Nativity, of South Bethlehem,
also took occasion to interpose his pro-
test, by saying that fully seventy
five per cent. OF his people We're poor
Rev. Mr. WOodle did not further in
sst upon his proposition.
WITHDREW THE WORDS.
Rev. DR.. Foley, leader of the OPP
position, evidently encouraged to be-
| hot wi hn dafn
! thought 10 set the question aside def
r!tely and withdrew from his resolu-
ton the words "till another conven-
ton" leaving the resolution to read
| that the question he postponed indefi-
nitely. He had reclIoned wrong, now
ever, as results proved. Bring 1t
squarely before the convention and
settle it once and for ALL" he said.
Rev DR. James, of Wilkes Barre, did
not want to vote on the provisional
resolution. The vote should be on the
| question, "Is it expedent to divide?"
he said. The increase of the Episco-
| pal endowment should not be made
contingent on any line of division.
Rev. DR.. Foley's unalterable opposi-
| ton to the division, and Rev. DR..
| Jones proposition to vote on the ex-
| peQle9cy OF ulNlulnS, Drought some
pointed criticism from Rev. Mr.. Israel.
"a man who is unalterably ,,ou-
vinced," he said, sis a man who has
| stopped growing" AS to the expe-
diency question he expressed surprise
that any one at this late day should
advance it. In 1898 that question was
decided aftirmatively by an almost un-
| animous vote, he went on to say. 1t
was decided without equivocation that
the diocese should be divided at the
earliest possble--practical-m
and committee appointed to look
after the preliminary work.
This brought the morning session to
close at 1880. Promptly at 9.30 the
delegates recOnveneo, and under pre-
vious agreement as to time limit de-
voted only another half hour to the
| division discussion.
Senator $. r. Peale, of Lock Haven,
opposed the Clement resolution on the
ground that 1t did not settle the ques-
tion finally even if II was adopted. He

read the report of Rev. j. NJ. Koehler,
the missionary to the deaf mutes, who
is himself a deaf mute. He reported
having made periodical visits to twenty
two different cities and that there are
in this diocese 400 deaf mute communi-
cants. In the four dioceses in which
he works he ministers to 1000 deaf mute
communicates.
Rev. DR.. Foley, for the committee on

was adopted. The old one did not con-
form in some minor respects to the
state laws. The discrepancies are cured
by the new one.
For the committee on canons. Rev.
Mr.. Tolman reported some changes in
the canons, by which missions are more
readily admitted into the convention.
They were unanimously adopted.
Rev. j. NJ. Page, of Lebanon, made
an interesting report on Sunday school

RECEPTION LAST NIGHT.
The reception last night at ST.
Luke's parish house was one of the
most brilliant events held in Scranton
for some years. The beautiful rooms
We're lavishly decorated. The supper
room on the third floor was especially
charming with the Maytime flowers.
The piano was hidden by snowy
masses of dogwood. The corners were
banked with sprays of apple blooms,
while valley lilies and wood vioiets
breathed out sweetness over the Gs-
semblage.
The receiving party stood near the
entrance of the lower parlor and con-
sisted of Bishop and Mrs. Talbot, Rev.
and Mrs. Rogers Israel, Miss Talbot.
Rev. and Mr. +. j. Haughton and

wanted something that would dispose
of the matter definitely.
Rev, Mr.. Sterling, Rev. MI Woodle,
A. ID. Holland, of st. Luke's; George
n. Reynolds. of Lancaster, discussed
the question of how the 100000 was
to be apportioned between the two
proposed dioceses.
MANNER OF DIVISION.
Secretary Clement settled the moot
ed point by explaining that under the
committees directions, if Line No. l
was adopted the $4,000 now in the
Episcopal fund would be divided in
such proportions that the north dio-
cese would be called upon to raise
$4,000 and .he south diocese $4,000.
After Rufus j. Foster OF St. Luke's.
had argred at length that ar explicit
division would facilitate the collection
of the endoN ment money, Rodney A.
Mercur, of Towanda, brought the dis
cusSiOn TO a close with n speech fav-
orinG the pledging of the endowment
first and the consideration of the Iii
viding line afterwards. He then call
| ed for the previous question.
Rev. Dr. Foley's motion to postpone
indefinitely was defeated by an over
whelming majority. Mr.. Mercurs
proposition to substitute Line No. 2
for Line No, 1 in Mr.. Clements reso-
luton was lost by a vote of S5 to 49,
BY vote that did not even occasion
a call for a division the propositions
to substitute Line and Line were
in turn defeated, and then the con-
vention, by vote of 1I2 to Sc, passed
the original resolution, dividing the
diocese according to Line No. l, con-
ditlonal upon the Episcopal endow-
ment fund being increased from SAL
0C0 to 100000. The announcement Of
| the pro-division victory was greeted
with loud and continued cheers.
The election of the standing COM
| mittee Was then taken up and result
ed in the selection of the following:
Clergy-Rev, Marcus A. Tolman, Of Maucn
Chunk; Rev. William p Orrick, d. D., Of Read
iIg Rev. Henry L. Jones, d. D., of Wilkes

Dewey's Star Of Hope.

WASH, April "a d m ir a !
Dewey says he is much encouraged
by the assurances of support
which he is receiving from all parts
of the country and which his
friends say, are coming principally
from conservative people, includ-
ing many prominent business
and professional men.
The fact that the Admiral has
never taken an active part in part
isan politics has led to the hasty
conclusion in some quarters that
he is a man without settled politi-
cal convictions. The error of this
will be seen when he issues the
statement he is now preparing and
which will show the full signifi-
canoe of his candidacy
He is giving careful consider
alton to his document and hopes
to have it ready to give out before
the close of the present week.
Before finally making it public,
however, he desires to submit it to
a political friend on whose advice
he generally relies. Who this
friend is the Admiral will not say
at this time.
No elaborate political machine
will be organized to advocate and
work for the nomination of
Admiral Dewey. The hero Of Ma
Mia is willing to trust his fate with
the people of country.

Circulation Greater Than Ever
