VIII Command the Ancients When the
London Visitors Como Over.

BosroN May 5.-Although Col. Sidney
NJ. He iges has commanded the Ancients
before. that organization has renominated
him as Captain and he will be elected at
the drum-head election to be held on the
Common on June /. The reason for this
departure from the time-honored custom
OF electing a new man as Captain every
year. is that Col. Hedges is considered most
fitted to lead the Ancients when they enter
tain the London Ancients next fall.
Another change in the customs Of this
noted Boston band OF soldiers is the holding
OF the banquet after the parade and election,
instead Of before. On previous election
DAYS the march from the banquet tables at
Faneuil Hall to the Common has been
commented on by spectators, who noted
that there was unsteadiness In the ranks.
The officers said 1t was due to the oobble-
stones hurting the feet OF the Ancients,
but it is expected that the changing OF the
banquet hour from noon to evening will
prove beneficial to the carriage OF the
veterans when they march up School and
Beacon streets.
Lieut.. Usher, for the anniversary COM
mittee. has reported the compilation Of all
arrangements for the event The sermon
in the Old South Church will be preached
by Chaplain Rider of Gloucester. Light

Bishop whitaker Opposes the Plan 70 Gail
the Episcopal Church Catholic.

PHILADELPHIA, May 6.--The Right Rev
Ozi w. Whitaker. Bishop OF the Episcopal
Church Of the Eastern Diocese OF Penn
sylvania in his annual address at the an
nual convention Of the diocese In St. Luke's
Epiphany Church, spoke emphatically
against the proposition to substitute the
word Catholic for Protestant in the name
of the church.
II am not In favor Of changing the name
Of this church at this time, ne said. II am
sure that for every one person who has re-
Church because Of its name. one hundred
would be lost to 1t as the direct consequence
Of dropping that name and substituting
any other In it's place. The word Profess
tant still means our protest against the
erroneous teaching and practice Of the
Church Of Rome.
What would be the effect Of dropping
the word Protestant at this time from the
name OF this church? Upon the Roman
CATHOLIC Church. probably none what,
ourselves. The only thing she seeks from
US is submission to her authority. To
many in the reformed churches, not in
communion with us II would give sorrow
Of heart, because IL would be regarded
by them as an abandonment of the dis
tinctive principles for which the word his
torically stands; and 1t would be considered
as emphasizing whatever causes OF di-
and OF minimizing the points upon which
we confessedly agree; and thus it would
seem to them q note Of separation rather
than Of unity. This Is our name and to
me II seems a better name than any that
1t has been proposed to substitute for 1t.
