BiSE0P AND MRS. POTTER
ENTERTAIN NEGRO BISHOP
Broke Bread In Richmond House
Which They Rent With Bishop
Ferguson of Africa.


RICHMOND, VA. Oct. lS.-Bishop
and Mrs. Potter, of New York. who are
occupying the residence at No 60O
West Franklin street. during tie gem
eral convention of the American Epis-
copal church, this evening entertined
at dinner Bishop Ferguson, of ART
can. the only negro entitled TO n seat
in the House of Bishops. The action
of Bishop Potter in thus receiving Il
colorcd man into his home circle on
terms of social equality and breaking
bread with him at mis- table, is worthy
of special consideration because of tile
fact that the occurrence took place
in the heart of the South. where racial
lines are more strictly drawn than in
other sections. and in house where
such an entertainment could not have
Occurred during its occupancy by its
owners.
While the dinner in honor OF the
African bishop was quiet. it has been
the occasion of considerable comment
tonight among those who have heard
CT ii and will undoubtedly meet with
the condemnation of the Southern b!sn-
ops and delegates when it becomes
generally known.
The matter is being considered by
he general public as slur upon the
South, the hospitality OF which Bishop
| Potter is accepting.
