A PAROCHIAL SCHOOL
TO BE ESTABLISHED
 IN MONTGOMERY.
Major w. W. screws's ResOlution Adopted by Episcopal Council nt AnnistOn--The Session
 Comes to a Close.

Annlston, May 1s.-(Special.)- 1.-The seventy-fourth annual council of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Diocese of Alabama. came to a close this afternoon to meet May Is of next year at Selma. More than 100 lay and clerical delegates were in attendance during the session in which much bus- mess was attended to.
 At the session this morning Rev. Stewart Mcqueen. Chairman of the Standing Committee, rising to per- sonal explanation, said that at meet ing of the Stsnding Committee held this morning. May 19. he had been in- structed to say that letter signed by R. H. Pearson, a member of the last Standing Committee, had appeared on the evening of May IS in printed form: that said letter was addressed to Rev. Stewart Mcqueen. Presslent of the Standing Committee, and was dated April 10, 1904; that neither the Stand ing Committee nor les President had ever received such a communication and did not know of It's existence until 1t was out, and 1t would not have been given publicity if 1t had been received by them. This much the Committee felt was due to the Council and to the Committee. This matter has reference to the unseating of the lay delegates from the Church of the Advent of Bir- mingham. Tn the publication severe charges were brought against Bishop Beckwith.
 This morning the Council decided to employ a general missionary at a sal ary not less than s1.500 per year, it to be left to the discretion of the Bishop as to who the man should be. The re- port of the Committee showed the church in Alabama to be in a healthy condition and bright prospects for the future. This afternoon the finance re- port was read and adopted with sev- eral recommendations, one of which is that all treasurers of funds shall make suitable bonds for themselves which shall be paid for out of funds in each of these departments. The treasurer of the Bishops fund will make a bond for $2U,000.
 The Council debated the advisabIlIty of establishing a parochial school at Hammer Hall. Montgomery. at length this afternoon. finally passing the fol- lowing resolution, introduced by Major W. w. Screws of Montgomery
 Resolved, That trustees of Hammer Hall be authorized to make such ar- engagements looking to the use of the property for a parochial church school for girls as they may deem most ad- visable;
 Provided. further, That on estao- lishment of this school, the property shall be leased for a period not ex- ceeding three years"
 resolution regarding the death of the Rev. W. U. Upton of Greenville was adopted by rising vote and after adopting certain resolutions of thanks the Council adjourned.

man. He was educated in the common schools, Deerfield and New Salem acad- emies and Captain Alden Partridge's military academy, at Norwich. Vt. From the latter institution he received a degree of Master of Arts in is27.
 Finishing his education he labored on his farm and taught school. but very early gave himself up to the activities of public life and literary research.
 In 1887, 1889. 1s40 and 1s44 he sat in the House of Representatives. and in is44 he was elected to the Senate. A peculiar result of that election was that he sat by the side of his father. to whom he was opposed in politics.
 In iS47 and for five years succeeding he was Democratic candidate for lieu tenant governor. He never was elect cd by the people to that office, but in 1851, no choice having been made by the people, he was chosen lieutenant governor by the legislature.

IDR. SIAKELY TALKS
INTRODUCED RESOLUTION FOR NORTH AMERICAN BAPTIST
 ASSOCIATION.
Pastor of First Baptist Church Tells of Church Convention in Kansas City and Work of Aia-
 baminns There.

Rev. Charles A. Stakely, DID,, Rev. 'O. F. Gregory, D.D.. Rev. w. J. El- liott, Rev. J. W. OHara and Rev. E. w. Stewart have returned to Mont gomery from Kansas City and St. Louis, where they attended the various Baptist conventions. All of these min- isters will occupy their pulpits Sunday
 When seen. yesterday pr. Stakeiy said:
 "Yes, 1t was a great convention. Not as great as some others in number of delegates, Kansas City being in the ex- treme northwestern corner of the ter ritory covered by the body. but great in spirit and in things done. Every report was inspiring and an unsual impetus was given to our educational and missionary work. The contribu- tions to missions. as reported from the various fields. were larger by many thousands of dollars than ever before in the history of the conven- tion, our Baptist people in Alabama. with others. going beyond anything ever done; and the budgets proposed for next year will, for size at least. be most inspiring to our people. Cur people seem to take pride in having a mighty task before them, in doing large things. We have learned that there is no virtue in protestations of poverty when mighty calls of God and a dying world are upon us"
 pr. Stakely handed to the reporter for The Advertiser a copy of the res olution offered by him and passed by the body. committing the convention to the proposition for a union of all American Baptists which materialized at St. Louis a day or two later. This resolution is now a part of the his tory of this remarkable movement among the Baptists of the country and is given here in full: Resolved, that this convention Is in sympathy with any proper movement looking to closer fellowship of all American Bap- lists and hereby appoints its officers to represent 1t in the deliberations of the meeting called for such a purpose at St. Louis on Tuesday. the 18th day of the present month, provided or course that the said representatives shall not encourage the formation or any body that would be in conflict with any existing organizations
 "This resolution" said Dr. Stakely. "was written by me on Saturday morn ing May 18th. presented to the Con vention late Saturday night in the close of the session, and pttsed unan- imously by the body on Monday morn ing. It said, so far as the Conven- ton itself was concerned. that the two mighty hosts of Baptists in the United States that had been apart since May, 1S45, just sixty years almost to the day, should come together. It said more. It said that the Baptists of Canada and the independent negro conventions should be a part of tho same brotherhood. All of these sep arate bodies remain separate and the same, each doing it's own work In it's own way, but associated in broader and higher unity. In the great meeI- inc In st.

 Hoch said he preferred the death penalty to life Imprisonment. A prison guard who had heard Hochs talk said in the attempt to cheer him up: "where there's life there's hope, you know"
 Hoch smiled and replied: Mot for me. It's all over. and John is going to die."
 Hoch then commenced to whistle lively air as he was returning to his cell
 Hoch is said to be penniless, and for that reason it Is not believed that he will be able to carry his case to the Supreme Court should he change fia mind and ask for Q new trial and be refused.
