EPISCOPAL CONVENTION
ENDS SAFTER LONG SESSION

Boston. Oct. 26.-The triennial gen
eral convention of the Episcopal
church, which has been in session here
since October 5, was ended with a
public service in Trinity church.
From the pulpit Bishop Henry c.
Potter, OF New York. read a pastoral
letter addressed to the church at large.
The communication, which consisted
of more than 5000 words, considered
the problems now before the country,
Regarding divorce, the pastoral said
that the facility with which the mar
riage relation may be taken on and
put off, is one of the menaces of
American civilization. to the possible
perils of which Christian people are as
yet very imperfectly aroused. The let
ter made a plea for the permanence
and security of the family. 1t also
discussed the negro problem, stating
that the church was taking steps tc
correct the situation so far as possible
It also commended labor unions
Other pressing questions we're also
dealt with.
A resolution permitting foreign con
gregations now in communion with the
church to use forms of service in theil
own tongue was adopted after a sharT
contest. This legislation was enacted
specially for the benefit of Swedish
congregations in Minnesota.
The next convention will be held il
Richmond, Va, in 1907.

Guilty, and his physician believed that
the postmaster was merely suffering
from an attack similar TO several he

A consultation Of physicians was
held as soon as Mr.. Van Cott reached
his home. and they gave favorable
prognosis. provided apoplexy did not
intervene. Shortly after. however, the
patient had a sinking spell and died
Of heart failure.
Mr.. Van Cott had been a vigorous
man. but of late he had been subjected
to an unusual amount of trouble, and
this is believed to have undermined
his health. The recent arrest of his
son, Richard Van Cott. charged with
colonizing. was a severe blow to the
postmaster, who expressed his firm
belief in his sons innocence. These
troubles, coupled with advancing age
he was in his 9th year-played an
important part in bringing on the IA
