An idea is prevalent that the Epis-
copal General Convention at Rich
mond changed the name of the church
which is entirely erroneous. The title
page of the Book of Common Prayer
gives the name Of the church as Pro
testant Episcopal church and il was
this that the Convention decided
should he changed, but the change is
only to apply in countries where the
word "Prolestant" is translated "ln-
fidelity" The convention dec ,ded,
and with apparent wisdom, that the
change should be made to avoid the
possibility of the church being mis-
understood III such countries and
the vot, was Unanimous.

A Martinsburg man notified the
public through the newspapers that
he would not be responsible for any

day she replied through the paper that
he did not pay his own debts, that she
had credit any where while he had
none. This is not infrequently The case.

that this is one of the cases described,
as we do not know the partis S, but We
have known not few cases even
worse than what we have related. AS
rule, we are on the woman's side in

noted that when woman is bad there

it and then again we have noted loo
that when Il man is good there is

SWALLOWS POISON.
Elderly Woman Hurried to Hospital
for Treatment

A message was received at the fifth pre-
cnct police station this afternoon request
Ing the police to send patrol wagon to
Georgia avenue and 4th street southeast.
AN old lady has tried to kill herself" the
sender of the message stated.
The driver was instructed to make
quick run, as it was thought the person who
was reported to have attempted suicide
might die If there was any unnecessary de-
lay in getting her to hospital. When the
patrol wagon reached the place where the
woman had taken the poison and fallen
that she was Mrs. Annie Barney, wife of a
resident of Terra Gotta. Her husband had
asked the police last night to find her. The
police were told that the woman was de-
mented.
Mrs. Barney, the police report, had taken
a dose of oxalic acid and the poison
label on the bottle alarmed persons who
went to the assistance of the woman after
she had fallen. She was not unconscious
when the police reached her. and was able
to tell her name and where she resided. AS
soon as the policeman in charge Of the
wagon heard her name he recalled that
there had been lookout for her sent
from the station earlier in the day.
1t is believed by the police that Mrs.
Barney wandered about during the night
and that she was on her way to the river
when she stopped and took the poison. She
was stated at the hospital later In the day
that She was not In a serious condition. Mr.
Barney was notified of his wife's where
