TO ELECT A NEW
BISHOP OF VIRGINIA

NORFOLK, Va, March 1o.-Preparaiiohs
are now being made for the annual meeting
of the council of the diocese OF southern
Virginia In Portsmouth. when oishop CO
ad,utor will be elected. Right Rev. Aitreo
McGiu Randolph. bishop OF southern W.T.
ginia is growing old and he found the work
of yisitations through the diocese. which
extends from Norfolk. on the ocean. wen
into southwest Virginia, In the Blue Ridge
mountains. much too hard for him.
The diocesan council decided year ago
10 elect a bishop coadjutor. and there was
a special session of the council In Lynch
burg some months ago for this purpose. AT
Lynchburg Rev. DIR. Arthur Seldom Lloyd.
missionary secretary OF the Episoopai
Church In America, with headquarters In
New York, who had already declined the
bishoprics of Mississippi and Kentucky.

Probably no local church movement that
has ever been discussed has created any
more interest than the proposition now be-
ing seriously considered to unite the New
York Avenue. Assembly's and possibly the
First Presbyterian churches. sell the pres
ent buildings and erect structure which
will be in every sense the National Pres
byterian Cathedral which Justice Harlan
OF the United States Supreme Court, who
is one of the most prominent Presbyterians
in the country. Is desirous of seeing estab
lished in this city.
Since the residential section OF the lily
has grown farther and farther away from
these three churches and new churches have
sprung up in all Of the outlying sections
these religious bodies have had a problem
to contend with which has been ever pres
ent. But they have been successful. Their
congregations have not grown small In spite
of the distance the members have to come
every Sunday from their homes In far
away parts of the city. Their splendid rep
utation and the historic interest that hangs
around them insures them continued pros
perity. But. nevertheless, several churches
of one denomination in the downtown sec
ton cannot do so well separately 1t Is held.
as one which would combine all the good
things Of the three. The continuing of the
three is the throwing away of an oppor-
tunity. It is declared. And then there comes
to the front that cherished plan of Justice
Harlan-the erection of National Presby-
terian Cathedral here in Washington as a
great representative and exponent of
American Presbytedfanism. How better
could this be accomplished than by the
union of these three great downtown
churches?
At present the plan of union does not
involve directly the First Church. It Is un-
derstood on good authority that this week,
probably at the Thursday evening prayer
meetings of the New York Avenue and AS
senbly's churches, the matter will be def
nitely considered. The proposition that will
be taken up on this OCCASION will be some
thing like the following:

Sisters Hortense and Irene were the ex-
ecutives of the institution from 1868 TO 1875.
when Sister Euphrasia, who began the
work. returned. Through her energizing
faith much was accomplished. Her name Is
indelibly associated with the institution and
is revered In the entire Catholic community
of Washington. From 1856 to 1888 the Sis
ters had to solicit help from the local mar
kets to support their charges, an echo of
which found its way into the Congressional
Record in the shape of q eulogy by the late
Senator Vest. He thought this and all
other orphanages constituted a most de-
serving charity
Congress came to the relief OF the sisters
at st. Joseph's In 1888 by an appropria-
ton Of 5000 but the next year Ii was
reduced and was finally withdrawn, In
March. 1890 1t is said by the sisters that
no appeal for the institution has ever been
made in vain to the citizens of Washing
ton. In addition to the pay school the
sources OF revenue come from the charit-
ably inclined. Since 1884 the local body
of the Catholic Knights of America an
nually holds a donation party and ball for
the benefit OF the orphans, which proves
an unfaiiina resource for the boys. The
kindred societies of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians and :he knights of Columbus
help In the same cause.
William Nelson Cromwell of New York
made handsome donation to the institu-
tion In the shape of a gymnasium and
swimming pool. This Is said TO have been
secured by Mrs. James F. Barbour and her
sister-in-law. Mrs. d. P. Mccartney. friends
of Mr.. Cromwell both of whom take an
interest In the orphanage. Mr. Cromwell
also supplied the means to place another
story on the old building. and otherwise
refurbish the same.
According to Sister Berchmans. the pres
ent head OF st. Josephs, the Institution
since Its inception has sheltered $500 chill
dren. and the average annual expenditure
fs $7.44S 1t is also claimed that the NOR
tality is less than at any other similar in
sutution in the country. there being only
nine deaths In the last fifty years.
