INTERESTED IN MEETING
Bishop Coleman Will Be One
of the Speakers at Phila-
delphia Convention

Much interest is being manifested by
local Brotherhood OF St. Andrew men
in the approaching inter-S State con-
vention OF their organization Of the
Dioceses OF Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Delaware TO be held in Philadel-
phia on November 2sth, 29th and 30th.
The program is a very attractive one.
both from the standpoint OF its deep
interest relative to things touching
closely the inner life of the Brother
hood as well as from the standpoint Of
intelligent, well-versed and entertain.
ing speakers upon topics interesting e
any man.
Some of those whose names make
the occasion one OF prominence are:
Bishop Coleman, Mackay- Smith. Doane,
Whitaker. Mayor Weaver, Judge G.
Harry Davis, the Rev. Robert ". For
syth. the Rev Floyd w. romkins II.
d. w. English and Hubert Carleton.
president and general secretary re-
spectively OF the National Brotherhood.
Delawareans are particularly interested
In the fact that Bishop Coleman viii
preside at the closing mass meeting
to be held Monday night at the Y. NJ
c. A. Hall, at 500 o'clock.
The Local brotherhood men have
also recently been much delighted TO
learn that Philadelphia has been
chosen as the place for the National
Convention OF the Brotherhood OF ST.
Andrew for 1904. These conventions
are something that must be experienced
TO be appreciated and carry always a
lasting effect. Thus IN a sense the
approaching Interstate convention
Is a preparation for the greater occa-
sion next fall. so that Il is expected
that every Brotherhood man in the
city will arrange TO attend at least
some Of the sessions OF the convention
70 be held on the 2S 20 and 30 instants.

died at the home of his son, Duane
J. Carnes, in Sycamore, ILL.,, Tues
day, Feb. 10. He was So years old.
MIR. Carnes' death was not unex-
pected, because of heart trouble,
but his strength held out, even with
other complications, thus prolonging
his final illness for many weeks. He
suffered somewhat during his last
days, but talked cheertully with his
family and appeared not at all afraid
of the end.

IA poor Young boy, but with industry,
thrift and shrewdness made his way
in the world, leaving here with IL
fortune twenty-five years ago. HIS
first farm work was done for the late

much doubt but that the schooling
received from him was the founda-
ton of his success.
MIR. Carnes was overSeer Of the
poor, selectman and held other town
offices here.
In letter to Mrs. G. ". Harding,
niece of MIR. Cares, announcing his
death, his son Duane says:
