COLORADO SPRINGS, July Iii
The Intermountain Republican Con-
ference came to close tonight with
a dinner givein by Chairman Hitch
cock Of the Republican National Com
mittee to the members OF the Nation
al Committee and the State Chair
man who have been here for three
days Most Of the visitors will leave

Hitchcock and his immediate party
will leave for Chicago tomorrow.
The time of the Republican polite
ians today has been fully occupied.
This morning an ascent to Pixies

hotel after the excursion lunch was
served and the western leaders re-
sumed the conference at 8 p. m. At

en-, but today the plans for the cam
paign in the various plans were laid.
Hitchcock although declaring that he
could not discuss the plans, stated
that the conference has been very
successful and that the spirit of en-
thusiasm has been aroused, but the
continuation OF the conference and
discussion went on uninterrupted.
1t is asserted by practically all of
those who attended the meetings
here that the question of contribu-

not be raised at any time. The west
erners said they have no doubt that
the money will be found to carry on
the campaign,

the next week or ten days. He will
reach Chicago on Thursday and meet
several leaders of the central states

Bishop Potter Came From a
Long Line Of Distinguished
Churchmen
KNOWN ALL OVER COUNTRY
For the Past Week He Appeared to
be Gaming In Strength, But he Suf-
fered a Relapse Monday That
Brought On the End.

CooPERSToWN, N. Y, July 2l.
Bishop Henry Goldman Potter died
here tonight His death followed a
sickness OF several weeks, which be-
gan with stomach trouble and devel-
oped complications For the past
week the Bishop appeared to gain,
but he suffered relapse yesterday
and last night all hope Of an ultimate
recovery was abandoned.
The Bishop was "a years old, lie
was unconscious all day and the end
which came at $50 tonight was
peaceful and quiet
All his family but Mrs. Russell and
Mrs. Hyde, two OF his daughters.
who are abroad, were at the bedside.
His death primarily was due to the
embolism OF his right leg, following a
long attack OF liver and stomach
trouble and the end has been foreseen
for several days by the physicians.
The Bishop suffered severe relapse
yesterday and though oxygen was
given, he declined gradually and early
today sank into coma, which lasted
until the end
No arrangements for his funeral
have as yet been made.
Bishop Potter was first and fore
most a ehurchman in the sense that
the Episcopal Church uses that word,
He came almost naturally by his
standing in the church, for both his
father and his uncle were bishops.
Henry Goldman Potter was born in
Schenectady N. Y. May 2S 1885, the
son OF Bishop Alonzo Potter OF the
diocese OF Pennsylvania, He was
educated in the Episcopal Academy,
Philadelphia, but like Phillips Brooks,
he took his divinity course in the ia
nous old Alexandria Theological
Seminary in Virginia, graduating
therefrom in 1857. Strangely enough
he did not have collegiate cduca-
ton. After his ordination in 1858, his
first charge was in Greenburg, Pa,
for one year. He then went to St.
Johns, Troy, where he was rector
from 1889 to 1866. He resigned this
position to accept the post OF assist
ant rector Of Trinity Church, Boston,
where he continued until he became
rector Of Grace Church. New York.
In 1883 he resigned this post to be-
come coadjutor bishop Of New York,
to his uncle Horatio Potter. The lat
ter died in 1887 and his nephew then
became bishop.
Bishop Potter had not long been in
his new Office when he began to ex-
hibit the energy and yigor which later
made him the leader Of his church.
One summer, instead Of going to Eu- |
roupe, he decided to remain down
in the city proper, and to look after
the poor Of that sections He came
to know this life intimately, and it
was about this time that he gave forth |
his famous utterance "that the Epis
copal Church in spite Of its magni6-
cent traditions, would be a mon
strous impertinence' in case it did not
exert itself toward the solution of So

She After You

An eastern magazine asked young
women to send a description OF
what their ideal man would be like
one they would accept as a life
partner. One girl probably without
much experience but knowing what
she wanted, said he must have
the form and feature of an Apollo
Belvidere, the grace and politeness
of the old Grecian, the virtue of i
Joseph, the financial ability of a
Rockefeller or a Vanderbilt, the
bravery of an Ajax, the knowledge
of a Homer, the manners of a Ches-
terrified and the patience of a Job.
Almost every man will feel that
this girl had him in mind.
