cHARMNC FANcEE IND Two SOCIETY DENs NOW TR4VELG

Charles S. Aiken. the clever editor
Of Sunset Magazine, is the man at the
helm of affairs of the club, having
been elected to the presidency at the
initiatory meeting at the Hittell home
in early May.
My! but what a lot of lions were at
that first gathering, Yes, and there
were a few at the reception on Tues
day night, but the 1ateness of the so
cial year precludes the presence Of
many of the smart set and of the art
ist folk, many of the latter being off
sketching.
The next meeting will be anticipated
with pleasure by those who met con-
genial spirits at the last affair.

the Holland House, he called to the
driver: Say, drive me over to my un-
cle's, in hurry, will you?" Certainly,
sir" said cabby. who, meanwhile, was
doing some tall thinking. Touching his
whip to the horse, away he went, with
the usual New York haste, and halted
al famous Sixth avenue pawnbro-
kers. Glancing out the window, the
situation dawned upon Reggie, who
pushed up the trap with his cane and
gave cabby his uncle's address. re-
marking, with a grin: II don't need
this sort of a place-yet."
And so even Vanderbilt hath need
sometimes of explaining his identity.

M'cl MBER DISCUSSED
r THE PENSION ORDER

Washington, April a3.-Speeches
were made on the pension bill by
Messrs. McCumber and Scott, the
latter declaring that he favored ser
vice pension OF SIS per month. Mr.
McC Cumber expressed the opinion that
the time was approaching for the en-
actment of general service pension
law. He referred to previous service
pension laws and mentioned the fact
that there were still living about Coo
sons and daughters Of soldiers of the
Revolutionary war
Mr.. McCumber also discussed the
recent executive pension order, con-
tending it was in harmony with the
laws making pensioners dependent up
on physical disability. He said that the
fixing of sixty years as the age oi
half disability and Of seventy-hye years
as the age of total disability had beer
"a subject Of long and careful inquiry
Iby the pension Office, and it was found
necessary to have a general and fixed
rule for uniformity
Mr. cCumber invited any senator
who thought the secretary had invaded
the field legislation to test the mat,
ter by seeking an injunction.

THE GREAT RELAY RACES

,s Philadelphia, Pa, April 23.-The eyes
of the athletic world are turned toward
Philadelphia today. Upon Franklin
Field this afternoon the pick and flower
of college athletes will strive with every
effort to win glory and fame and the
plaudits of the multitude. The occas-
ion is the ninth annual relay carnival
of the University of Pennsylvania. In
past years this athletic meet has been
second only to the intercollegiate cham
pionshiP games, and this year it far sur
passes this annual event in the number

tries. Never before, in fact, in the his
tory of college athletics in America has
an event of, greater Importance been held

CHURCH 200 YEARS OLD.

New York, April 23.-Episcopalians
of New York and vicinity are deeply
interested just now in the two hun
dredth anniversary of St Georges Epis-
copal Church at Hampstead, L. l. A
two days celebration of the anniver-
sary was begun today with Bishops
Potter and Burgess and a number of
other distinguished churchmen among
the participants.
Long before an Episcopal Church
was built in Brooklyn, King George III.
had granted royal charter to ST.
Georges at Hampstead. This was in
1885 but the Quaker and Presbyterian
settlers had built church on the pres
ent site OF ST. Georges in I648, which
remained an independent organization
until 1904, when it passed under the
control OF the Church of England, and
became an Episcopal Parish. Few
churches in America have more i1-
teresting history than the old Hemp
stead Church, which is built of hewn
logs brought from the forests on the
north shores Of Long Island. Among
its other claims to distinction is the
fact that the Hampstead parish furnish
ed the first American bishop, the Rev.
Samuel Seabury, who was consecrated
in 1884.
