Tribute to Bishop

The death Of Bishop satteriee. o.
Washington. d. c.. was a shock to the
Episcopal clergymen here. He had
attended the funeral Of Bishop Cole
man, and his genial manner. profound
learning and knightly bearing won him
the regard Of all with whom he came
into contact.
Archdeacon George 2. Hail, who mad
met Bishop Satterlee a number OF
times, was grieved. Bishop Satterlee
was one Of our strongest Bishops" he
said. He was n wise administrator
and his influence was felt not alone
in his own diocese but in the Church

ly deDlored. was not intimately ac-
quainted with him, but met him several
times, and found him a very fine man
in every way. For long time he was
rector of Calvary Church, New York,
where he was very influential and was
associated with the strongest men in
the diocese Of New York. which is
noted for its strong men. When he
was here at the funeral Of Bishop Cole g.
man he appeared in very vigorous
health. Bishop satterlee will be re-
membered. too, as the man who lsid
the foundation for the great Cathedral
in Washington"
Tribute by Mr.. Kirkus.
The Rev. +. M. Kirkus. Of Trinity
Church. similarly expressed the feeling Of
the Episcopal clergy in Wilmington. Hs
said.
"The news Of the death Of Bishop sat
terlee Of Washington comes with startling
suddenness TO the church people Of vii
mington. His was an influence which
reached far beyond the limits Of his owr
diocese. and which might properly b'
called national. He was a striking figure
in many respects. Physically he was sup
erb. and there can be no doubt thA hii
noble face. his impressive figure his
splendid vigor and strength OF body werl
all factors in that magnetic power which
In him was so conspicuous gift But 4
was by the force OF his lovely characte
and his strong personality that he &C
quired his powerful hold upon the afrec
tions Of his people. and accomplished th'
broad and varied work which was thi
fruit Of his active ministry.
'1n New York city he was a distinc
power as Rector Of Calvary Parish an'
when he was called to become the flrs
bishop Of the newly formed diocese O.
Washington in 1895 It was universally
felt that one had been chosen who woul'
conspicuously grace the office, and d,
everything that could be done to empha
size the Catholicity OF the church and II
mission to the American people. He ha
not disappointed the hopes and expecta
tions Of those who elected him, and o
those who rejoiced in his honorable pre-
ferment. The great National Cathedrel
the cornerstone OF which was laid witt
such impressive ceremonies last Septem
Der, win in time be reared in fulflmen
Of his large and courageous conception
and will stand to do the work Of man,
future generations as a memorial to It
broad-minded and great-hearted founder
who designed it as an instrument for tn
welfare OF his fellow men. and to tn
glory OF that God whom he served $
faithfully"

wander. and he dwelt and ia 'ked a
great deal on Christian Science and
the temperance question. both Of which
he has spent much time In thinking
over and discussing. He die not be-

johnson. thinking that Roberts would
soon be all right. went to bed last
night leaving him alone IN the study

disordered, and requested him TO &c
with him down to the bathrooms. Upon
his declining Roberts threatened him
and he at last consented to go with
him. When he got down to the show
er bath he turned on the scalding hot
water and stood under the steam
grasping the hot pipes at the same
time with his hands until he was al.
most burned TO death
He fell PROSTATE. and Johnson rar
