MISSIONARY BISHOPS CHOSEN

MISSIONARY BISHOPS ChOSEN.
The General Convention of the Epis-
copsl Church now In session 10 San
Francisco has recently elected several
missionary bishops, two of whom are
we'll known in this region. The Rev.
Wm. Cabell Brown, d. d. since 1891
a missionary 10 Brazil, was chosen Mis-
siouary Bishop OF Porto Ric) and ada
cent islands. The Rev. James Addison
logic, who for the same period has been
laboring in China, was elected to the
new missionary district of Hankow.
The Rev. w. c. Brown, d. D., is the
great grandson OF William Csbell, OF
Union Hill, 10 the county OF Nelson, 10
mis- day one of the wealtbiest and most
prominent planters of the James river
valley. His grandfather on the other
side was Alexander Brown, native OF
Scotland, and On eminent resident OF the
same vicinity. DR.. Brown vas born 10
Lyuchburg 10 1861 and enjoyed the adj
yantsges of thorough c2urse Of Nor
wood High school aud College. When
insL grown be became an Instructor in
the Episcopal High School, near Alex
asd-.@, rOith ~hioh ha rAmainad more
or less intimately associated to the time
of his ordination. which Immediately
followed his graduation at the Theolog-
csl Seminary 10 June, 1891. 10 Au-
gust following he married Miss Ida
Mason Dorsey, OF Georgetown, d. T.,
and a few weeks later sailed for Brazil.
Ia the mission there he has from the
first been prominent, one of his most
valuable services being the transls-
ton OF the book OF Common Prayer
into Portuguese. The degree OF ID. ID.
wes conferred upon him about two
years since by the University OF the
South. While it is known that DR..
Brown had no desire to leave the mis-
zion 10 Brazil, 10 which he has been
conspicuously useful, it Is supposed
that he will certainly accept the I'm
portant and ardous position to which
the house of bishops has called him.
His fitness for it Ia generally conceded.
The Rev. J. A. IDgle is the only son
of the Rev. Osborne logic, OF Frederick
Maryland, where he was born in 1867
and received bis early education. De
had more advanced academic training
and won distinction at tbs Episcopal
High School, and in 1888 at the Uni.
yersity OF Virginia took the degree Of
Master OF Arts. Three years later be
graduated at the Theological Seminary
of Virginia in the same class with Dr.
Brown above, Prof. Massie, the Rev. J
G. Meem and the Rev. E. M. s5tires, d
d., ell of whom but the last went to
the foreign field. Soon after ordina
tioo, Mr.. IDgle went to C0ius. He
came home 10 1897 and married Miss
Charlotte Rhett. OF Charleston, 5. O..
but remained in this country only TWO
months. In May, 1899, be returned to
the United States with, his family, fol
his vacation year, and was detained
here by the troubles 10 China until last
autumn. when, before most people con-
sidered it safe, he hurried back to bis
work six hundred miles 10 the interior

THE CONVENTION.

The constitutional convention yes
terday by vote Of So to 6, declined 10
abolish the committee OF the whole and
settled the question forever by voting
down the question OF reconsideration.
The delegates Immediately went into

hours in discussing the report OF the
committee on county government, and
especially the giving OF bonds by coun'
~ officials.
Several petitions we're presented yes
terday urging the adoption of the Quar-
Les. Barbour resolution to regulate the
traffic in liquor, and Delegate Harrison;
of Winchester, presented a memorial
from the liquor dealers Of that city pro-
testing against the enactment oil the

The matter is stirring up great In
terest 10 all sections OF the State.
The morning session closed without
having reached vote 90 the report Oh

the names OF the sbsen ees recorded.
Under the rule the resolution will
lie on the table for two days.
Mr.. Watson's amendment was then
taken ND again, and Mr.. Withers offered
as q substitute for all amendments that
in Ali counties OF less than 10000 in
babitants q sheriff shall be elected, who
shall also perform the duties oil tressu-
rer; 10 counties OF more than $4,000 o
treasurer may be created by law. Mr.
Withers made strong speech In favor
OF his amendment, showing that prior
TO 1866 the shsrifs OF counties filled
both positions without any special dis
comfort. he proposed to allow the
sheriff the same fees now allowed him
anu the treasurer, snd 10 break up for-
ever the supplemental allowances TO
gneriff,. which 10 1900 amounted to
$50 .474.35. Mr.. Harrison moved TO
strike out the proviso allowing treaeu-
rers ia counties having over 3O,OOO peo'
pie. At the conclusion Of az earnest
speech against combining the ot1ces,
made by Mr.. Keezsll, the hour OF i've
arrived aud the convention adjourned.
The constitutional convention has
before it q proposition to tax the

bers OF the convention by Marshall
Lodge OF Pythians, indorsiug the plan,
urging the members to vote in favor Of

ton.
