that many of the visiting church digni-
taries occupied the local Episcopal pull
pits at both morning and evening serv-
ices.
The coming week, the last of the Epis-
copal convention, wilI be full Of interest.
Many matters of Importance to the
church are yet 70 come up for considera-
ton Il has been announced that. be-
ginning with Monday. the house of
deputies will hold night sessions, in order
TO get through with the mass Of business
yet to come before the body. Several
matters OF Importance have already been
booked for consideration early in the
week
Mr.. Morgan IA Late Riser.
Those who have been cognlzant Of Pier
pont Morgans actions since he has been
in Richmond as a lay delegate. declare
that the noted hnancier is late riser.
He is never seen on the street except
when going to and from the convention.
and then always In his closed automobile.
He is always among the last TO take his
seat In the house Of deputies. and even
during the heat of arguments he is con-
stantly reading the latest stock quota
tiOns in the New York papers. Of which
he is furnished eleven each day. Tie
wealthy New Yorker has had but little
20 say as a delegate. arising for the first
time Friday morning. and then merely

The residence occupied by Morgan is
guarded night and day by a policeman,
and no one is allowed to pass the two
footmen guarding tho front entrance. a
warm friendship has been started between
Morgan and Gov. Swanson, the chief ex-
ecutive OF the State being one of the few
TO be entertained by the distinguished
visitor. who has returned every visit Gov.
Swanson has made him. He has been
seen at the Office Of the governor several
times
Discuss Courts of Appeal.
The matter Of courts Of appeal for the
church. which was partially argued on
Saturday will be resumed in the conven-
ton probably tomorrow. This Is one Of
the most important matters to be settled
| by the convention. It has already occa-
stoned some disagreement between mem
bers and will undoubtedly be the subject
Of some spirited debates before the mat
| ter IS concluded.
The work of the convention viii be
/ pushed rapidly during the early days Of
the week SO that there may not be such
| a rush OF business TO be considered during
/ the last day OF two. It is anticipated
| that there will be some stormy scenes
during the remaining six days of the
convention
