rangements for the coming tri-diocesan
convention. of the Brotherhood of St. An
drew at Trinity P. f. Church, May II and
IS next, met last night at the parish rooms
of St. Johns Church, 10th and H streets.
There was a full attendance of members
and the business transacted brought the
affairs up to a successful prospect of hav-
ing the convention made memorable one.
Mr.. W. II. Gibson of Centerville Md, was
present and his kindly advice was much
appreciated. The report made of the at
tendance of junior members was very fiat
tering and it is possible that 200 or more
boys will be here from the dioceSeS of
Maryland and EaSton.
The attendance of senior members, judg
ing from all sources of information, will be
very large running we'll into the hundreds.
An invitation will be extended to the men,
bership of the organization at Alexandria
and vicinity to be present at the coming
meetings. The program has been nearly
completed. On account of the pressure of
duties Bishop Paret of Maryland and Bish-
op Adams of Easton will not be able to at
tend.
Bishop Satterlee will deliver the charge
at the opening services Saturday morning
at Trinity Church, and Revs. Ernest Smith
of Baltimore, James A. Mitchell of Center
vile, Md. Falkner and r. D. Williams of
Washington will deliver addresses. The
list of speakers from among the lay men,
bers has not been completed and is not in
shape just yet to be made known. 1t will
be of interest, however, to state that Mr.
w. H. Gibson will have charge of the
farewell meeting Sunday night, May 49,
and that Mr.. H. c. Turnbull, jr., Of Balti-
more will conduct one of the meetings. The
| mass meeting for boys will occur at pm.
Sunday afternoon, and end in time to per-
NIT the participants to attend the service
| of the Sunday School Institute which will
be held that afternoon at the Church OF
the Epiphany. where 1000 Sunday school
| scholars will be in attendance. On the
| same date, at p.m the mems mass meet
| ing will be held and prominent speakers
| will be heard.
The usual letter to the brotherhood an
| nouncing the date of the convention has
| been sent out. Invitations have also been
extended to the laity to open their homes
| for the accommodation of the expected del
| egates Contributions for the entertain
| ment of the members have also been asked
| for, with Mr.. Bert T. Amos, secretary
| treasurer, and Mr.. George Salter in charge

DEATH CAME CAME SUDDENLY.
Mrs. Zaidee Jones Smith, Well-Known

native place. The party reached here We'd

ford, Mount Pleasant, Mrs. Smith having
been taken DANGEROUSLY Ill on the train.
Her condition was so serious that Chi
cago physician on the train volunteered his
services and stopped off here to accom-
pany her to the hotel, where she fingered
until 8 o'clock yesterday morning. Her
funeral will take. place from the Church
of the Sacred Heart, 14th street and Whit

this afternoon, and the remains will be
taken to Newburg for .interment.
1t is a pathetic coincidence that Mr. L. E.
Cannon, who was the director of St. Mat

sang there, IS the, director of the choir at
the church where her funeral services will
be held this afternoon. Mrs. Smith pos

THE LATE SENATOR BR1cE.
A Principle That Guided His Giving

quently marks for money borrowing con-
stituents. The borrowers get but cold COM
fort from some of their subjects Of attack,
but there are others who have tender spots
that are easily reached and are not even
protected by shield of discretion. Among
these was the late Senator Brice, who did
a good deal of indiscriminate 'loanng' of
money. Hard luck stories always went
with him. On one occasion some one whose
position placed him in a way to see this
liberal distribution of small 'loans," pro-
tested against giving money to caller.
This is the third time you have given
him money, SENATOR" he said. Don't you
know that man is one of the greatest dead
beats in the country?"
Senator Brice looked at the indignant OBJ
jector for a moment and replied in a low,
confidential tone:
Don't you know that deadbeats get hum
cry just like you and I?'
That was all he said and the remark in
dicated the principle that guided him. 1t
was not the virtue of the suppliant, but
merely his necessity that appealed to him.

Head of Another Republic.

In responding to the toast The President
of France" Mr.. David Jayne Hill, first
assistant secretary of state. said:
The most ancient bonds of friendship
between the United States and any other
nation are those which inseparably link the
early history of our country with the splen-
did chivalry, the active sympathy and the
generous support of France. The glorious
chapter of that history which renders i'm
mortal the name of Washington can never
be so written as to exclude the illustrious
services OF Lafayette and Rochambeau So
long as the American people continue to re-
member with pride the strong hands that
rocked the cradle of their liberties they
cannot forget the friendly arm stretched
across the sea to steady the tottering foot
steps of the nations infancy.
Our first and only treaty of alliance was
with France, an alliance based on COM
munity of interests and sympathy with the
cause of independence, to be finally dis
solved only when the friendship of Amer
lea could not save her ally from the tragic
destiny which inexorable fate had mingled
with her bitter cup. But at every reasser-
tion of her patriotism, at every revival of
her lofty ideals of public devotion and self
government, the hearts of Americans have
throbbed In unison with the patriots of
France in memory of the old struggle for
human rights and the undying fellowship
In noble aspirations.
And now. after leading Europe to the
light OF constitutional government, after

that could be bestowed upon him to be In
