SOUTHERN VIRGINIA EPISCOPA-
LIANS.

The second day of the eleventh session
of the Episcopal Council of the Diocese
of Southern Virginia convened yesterday
in st. Johns Church, at Roanoke, Bis
hop Randolph delivered his annual adj
dress, which embraced his regular report,
which showed that there had been great
growth of the church during the past
year. He touched on the solution Of
the race problem, and he stated that it
was question to be settled in the South
and by the Southern people.
He declared that the greatest need
was more enlightenment and education
among the negroes, and with this the
question would gradually settle ITSELF
and to this end he called upon the
diocese to take the matter up and do
their part in the educational work that
would finally become the great factor in
settling the strife between the two races.
Speaking of marriage, he regarded it,
not as a creation of law, nor a material
or legal fellowship, nor the product Of
Instinct, nor dn dfIlhCldl dilduSShOhI
brought about by individual choice, but
as a primary relation of human society,
and without it true social conditions
could not last. He also spoke of the
proposition to change the name of the
church, and closed with the following
appeal
'Itis too much to hope for from this
council, representing the Oldest churches
of the Protestant Episcopal denomina-
ton in America, that it may with one
voice, one heart, and one mind vote on
the question as to whether or not we
blot out Protestant from the title of our
church"
Rev. Dallas Tucker, of Norfolk, Of
fered resolution that the council earn
estly protest against any change in the
church name, declaring it to be Gun
necessary and unwise" The resolution
was adopted by a vote, as follows
Clergy, ayes, so; nays, 4 laity, ayes,
81 ; nays, 0.
1t was decided to hold the next meet
ing of the council in Grace Church,
Petersburg.

The BROOKLYN Handicap.

New York, May 2S.-The great fea-
ture of the Brooklyn Jockey Club
spring meeting will be run about 4
o'clock this afternoon at the Gravesend
track. Fourteen of the owners of horses
named in this classic are independently
wealthy. Several are multi-millionaires.
The money value of this race is nearly
$17, 900. Eighteen horses are named as
starters, but the probabilities are
that this number will be reduced. w.
G. Whitney's four-year-Old filly, Gun
fire, will probably be made the public's
favorite. Jacob WOrth's gelding, Dom
Paul, has chance to capture the rich
prize. Blues will have many friends,
Notwithstanding that he has been beaten
in his last two races. Walter Rollins's
Herbert would be an attraction for the
public if the track should be muddy.
Yard Arm, it is thought, has good
chance to carry off the honOrs. On
paper, this rich stake seems very open
betting race. A light shower fell at s
O. clock this morning. The weather is
still threatening, and should much rain
fall, some of the "fair weather" cracks
will be Withdrawn from the contest.
The Brouklyn handicap was won by
Irish Lad first, Gunfre second and Heno

TALES OF THEATRE

Interest in the people of the Isle of
Man has been reawakened by the pro-
|duction on the stage of Hall Gaines
novel, THE ManXman." The novel at
tracted wide attention when it was
published, ard since Hall Gaines other
works nave met with such success il
has grown infavorand its picture of life
in the authors native isle has brought
recognition to that a highly ORR
ginal people in the little strip of land
that is under the English flag. james
O'NeilFs appearance in the play built
on this book is sufficient to assure re-
newed study of this quaint people
and all their peculiarities. This study
is well worth while. The ManXman
are simple, honest folk, with whom
every striking incident of love, pain
and death of centuries have merged
into a maze of superstition. The ISL
and is only IL or II miles wide and its
greatest. length 80 miles. Electric
lights street cars and steam railways
are now operated, but there are many
old people in the island who never saw
car or a steamboat. Theold people
believe in fairies, ghosts and hobgob-
Inns as firmly as they do in future
punishment and reward. \ story is
told of an old farmhouse where there
were several young ladies. big,
old-fashioned kitchen with big fire
place, where Il bright turf fire east
lights and shadows was favorite
place of meeting, but all had to va
cate every night at a certain hour.
For warning there was n crash, as if
a wagon load of gravel was thrown
against the wall. If they went to an
other room that was the end: but if
the warning went unheeded. there was
another crash. If the third crash
was not needed, it was sure TO be fol-
lowed by serious results. At one time
four COWS were found dead in the barn
next morning. 1t was believed that
the big kitchen was a meeting place
for the fairies after q certain hour
every night. There are other uncanny
creatures not so pleasant to think of
as fairies. The "Madhue Dhu'' is a
spectre that appears in the form of
Il black dog, guards several rooms in
Peel Castle, and is believed in by al
most every resident of the island.
Many hard headed English visitors,
who had not particle of supersti-
ton. say that they have seen this UNI
brute. The ''Terroo- ushtey"
is an amphibious monster. which
sometimes leaves the sea and min
giles with other cattle of the island.
1t is an uncanny creature. The Bug
