COMMENT UPON CONVENTION.
Bishop Satterlee Speaks Before
Churchman's League.

At the fall meeting of the Churchman'S s
League las, evening in the parlors of the
Highlands, Bishop Henry Y. Satterlee had
this to say of the Richmond convention Of
the Protestant Episcopal Church, just
closed:
There was nothing sensational about
the general conference of the Episcopal
Church at Richmond. There was not a
word about the Rev. DR.. Crapsey or his
trial for heresy before The church author
tiles.
The doors of the house of bishops were
not open to the public he said, be
cause 1t was desired to do away with
gallery talk There would have been
more or less of this if the doors had been
open The conference marked an advance
movement in the church." he continued.
The enthusiasm shown revealed the con-
fidence which the church has begun to
feel in herself. Previously she has been
mora or less timd because she has not
fully realized her strength.
''One thing l wish might have been
done which was not done. and that was
to sound a trumpet blast, in no uncertain
tones. which would have declared to the
world that the church believes as firmly
as ever in the Scriptures and the inspra-
ton thereof And l say this, although l
believe in higher criticism"

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY.
New Drug, Poslam, Now Obtainabl'
in Small Quantities.

Since its discovery one year ago. the new
drug, poslam, has successfully cured
thousands of chronic cases of eczema and
other distressing skin Affections. Hereto
fore poslam has been dispensed solely for
the benefit of eczema patients in large
jars sufficient for months treatment.
This was found to be an Inconvenience
to many thousands who use it for minor
skin troubles, such as pimples. herpes.
acne, scaly scalp. complexion blemishes,
itching feet. piles, etc, which require but
a small quantity to cure. To overcome
this, and in response to urgent appeals.
the dispensers of poslam have been obliged
to adopt, in addition to the regular two
dollar package special fifty-cent size,
which in future may be found on sale at
Ogram's and other leading drug stores, or
may be ordered direct from the Emer-
gency Laboratories. No 80 West 25th
street New York city. In all eczema
cases poslam stops itching with first appli-
cation. and proceeds to heal Immediately;
chronic cases being cured in two weeks
In less serious skin troubles. results are
seen after an overnight application.
Samples for experimental purposes may
still be had free of charge, by writing
to the laboratories for them.-Advt.

Fuller went on duty last night about s

puddle of water. and that he landed upon
the track which the fast passenger
train was moving.

his skull and inficting numerous other

age and lived with his wife and two chill
dren at 700 street southeast. HIS wife
is visiting friends in New York, and ar

DOOMED TO DISAPPEAR.
Goose Egg Island Invaded by the
Sand Diggers

Goose Egg Island the little island on
the District side of the river directly op-
posite Alexandria, is said to be doomed TO
disappear and will slowly be brought to
this city by the scow load, to be used
In concrete construction and gravel work
throughout the city. The little island is
but a gravel bar, but until recently had
escaped the attention of the sand and
gravel digging Arms of the city. mainly
because it lay behind the Potomac flats
and it was next to impossible for a loaded
scow to come across them to deep water
even at high tide. A few weeks ago a
channel was dug through the fats for the
use of the scows and scowboats and since
then a large gravel screening machine
has been at work taking the gravel from
the bar composing Goose Egg Island. The
MACHINE is now working, 1t IS stated. at
the south END Of the island, and is slowly
eating its way through 1t, 50 that 1t IS
only question Of few months before 1t
will all be dug up and transferred to
this city.

7 HE THEAT E r..
New National.

The audience at the New National last
night indicated a remarkable interest IN
the new production, The Christian Pill
GRIM" of which Henrietta Cros.nan is
the leading and vivitying spirit This In
terest differs from that which animates
the average playgoer. 1t is dominated by
devotional spirit which prevents
frank and unsparing discussion accord
ing to the standards by with a drama is
ordinarily Judged. "Pilgrinl's Progress.
on which this representation is founded,
IS book of which everybody talks
familiarly, although comparatively few
have read It. 1t IS strongly marked by
the influence of the miracle or mystery
plays. and there are times when the
elaborate mechanism reared for this pro
duction seems to overwhelm the simple
austerity of the central theme. the re
pentance and salvation Of a discouraged
sinner. Yet Bunyan approached his sUo-
ject with tervid and exa-ted magma
ton. which in a mod IN pres NIT on
inevitably suggests spectacular treat
ment. Despite the lack of actual famil-
iarity with its text to which most peopie
must. if they are frank confess, ''PH-
grinls Progress has a place in the mind
of every one Its characters ana mel
dents have drifted into our familiar
speech. References to 1t and quotations.
from 1t are commonly employed without

sarded as aiming at a highly deslranie
object in more closely familiariZing lhe
public with a work of such simple power
and such enduring Influence
The function of 'The Christian Pilgrim
is .didatic rather than artistic. 1t presents
a series of beautiful tableaux that haunt
the memory and attempts but little in the
direction of climax and continuity. 1t ar
fords opportunity for much sonorous
speech. but the dialogue does not go be
yond an elucidatIon Of each scenes allie
gorical purpose
Yet the attention Is held. the eye de-
lighted, and while there IS never that com
plete and undisturbed illusion which comes
when n production is universal IN IT'S ap-
peal there Is an opulence or fancy IN
which every intelligence may find some
thing worth treasurirg In recollection.
The music by William Furst, which
forms an essential element of the produc-
ton. Is finely appropriate. It is at times
nonderouslv Wagnerian. but 1t reflects the
spir,t Of each scene with a closeness pos
sible only when rare temperamental quail
itv is combined with exceptional scholar
ship.
"The Christian Pilgrim is not for the
habitual theater goer, who seeks surprise
and diversion. Its novelty has been dis
counted by other allegorcai productions
and there are no scenes that can De ac-
ceoted as casual entertainment. Its ap-
preciation must be found among those
who will value it for It's vivid portrayal OF
scenes of deep religious significance.

Majestic.

The inte rpretation Of the part of Car
men as given by Kathryn PurneH last
night at the Majestic gave evidence of
thoughtful study. She gave a faithful de-
piction of that type of femninty in
which nature filled with dormant de-
pravity. viciousness and treachery is kim
died into a fierce fame by the touch Of
affection. Some of her touches were
tragic, others presented situations that
were repellant. Miss Purnen acted the
part in manner that won her renewed
applause from her admirers at the Ma
jestic. Miss Helen Hyde as Dolores gave
a pleasing presentation of the woman
whose love is true and real, in marked
Contradistinction to the deception OF the
vicious Carmen. Franklyn Muanell made
an acceptable Don Jose, giving Miss Pur-
nell excellent support, and w. Stanley
James as Lieut.. Don Manuel Sarceda
won deserved piaudits. The serious ac-
ton of the play was relieved by several
specialties by Harry 9. Bewley, Fred
Reese and Helen Hyle, and most of the
scenic effects were strikingly realistic.
