The Proposed Diocese of Washington and the Endowment Fund. Meeting of an Influential Church Or- ganization—Report of the Endow- ment Fund Committee. The November meeting of the Church- man’s League of the District was held last evening at Epiphany Church rooms, about 100 members being present. The president, Chief Justice Fuller, was unavoidably ab- sent, and the third vice president, Commis- sioner Truesdell, presided. Gen. Jno. A. Kasson was expected to make an adress, but was also unable to be present. Rev. Dr. Mackaye Smith opened the meet- ing with prayer. The secretary, Mr. Ed- ward F. Looker, read the minutes of the last meeting, and Dr. W. P. Young, the treasurer, made his report. Twenty-one new members were then elected, raising the membership to 237. Dr. McKim, chairman of the committee to raise the endowment fund, explained the reasons for the division of the diocese as “First: The Relief of the Bishop.—The spe- cial committee 0% four clergymen and three laymen, which was appointed to consider the subject, end which made its report to the convention of 1804, declared that ‘no bishop ought to be called upon to endure and perform the*-werk which is now laid upon the head of this diocese.’ “Second: The Demands of the Work.—The growth of the church in the diocese, and especially in the cities of Baltimore and Washington, has been such, and the propor- ticns of the work have become so great, that in the interest of its proper Episcopal super- vision a division of territory and of labor is imperatively demanded. The bishop said to the convention in 1893: ‘The wonderful and rapid growth of our two great cities will make division absolutely necessary be- fore lon; it until the absolute necessity comes upon us—until work really suffers because too great for one man to bear? Or shall we, by wise forethought, go before the absolute necessity and provide for it before it comes?’ The commit- tee already quoted went farther and said the work ‘is already far more than any one man can satisfactorily discharge.’ And they gave it as their opinion after long and ma- ture reflection that the division of the dio- cese is ‘not only advisabie, but necessary; and that to delay it longer is to imperil the best interests Progress of the church of our love.’ Let it be remembered in this con- nection that unless we consummate division now it cannot be done under our constitu- tion until the end of the year 1898—a delay of four years. Importance of This City. “Third: The Peculiar Importance of the City of Washington as a Center of Influence and Power.—We must here extend the hori- zon of our thought. As churchmen, belie’ ing thorovghly in the aposiolic faith and order of this church and in its great possi- ble destiny among the American people, we must think not only of our own interests, but of the interests of the whole church as affected by the organization and equipment of the church here at the capital of the ua- tion. We need a bishop in Washington in order that the work of the church here may be more effectively and vigorously develop- ed; in order that open doors of opportunity may be more promptly entered; in order that under a leader whose whole mind and energy shall be devoted to this city and its adjacent counties the church may the bet- ter rise to the full measure of its duty and its responsiblity. “But we need a bishop and an autonomous diocesan organization in Washington still more because of the peculiar position of this metropolitan city as a center of national in- fluence and power. These are, we think, the chief considerations that influence the ac- tion of the convention. That action was, we believe, unanimous in favor of the divis- ion of the diocese, and it was ordered that two committees be appointed, selected re- spectively from the proposed diocese, ‘who shall take such measures as they may deem best to secure adequate support for the two bishops.’ The Money Needed. “The sum deemed by the committee (in agreement with the bishop) adequate for the support of the bishop of the proposed diocese of Washington is $6,000 per annum —since there is no Episcopal residence, and, therefore, house rent must be provided. “Of this sum we estimate that the exist- ing assessments upon the parish, together with the income from our share of the Episcopal funds, will yield, say, $3,055 per annum, which might easily be increased by adjustment of some evident inequalities in the assessments to $3,500, is leaves an additional annual sum of $2,500 to be pro- vided, representing a principal sum of, say, $50,000, which must be obtained as ai? en- dowment, by subscription of individuals or parties, or both, in such form as te be bind- ing upon the subscribers. “For this sum, then, the committee makes its appeal to the churchmen of Washington, relying at orce upon their loyalty, their liberality and their love on be- half of the church. We believe it is entirely feasible to raise it, if those mem- bers of the church whom God has blessed with the possession of wealth, even in a moderate degree, will unite with their brethren of lesser means in this great work for Christ and His church.” Rev. Dr. A. R. Stuart, rector of Christ Church, Georgetown; Mr. 8S. W. Tulloch and other members of the league, clerical and lay, ably and earnestly indorsed Dr. Me- Kim's clear presentation of the scheine, his general views and suggestions; and the fol- lowing resolutions were then unanimously adopted: “Resolved, That it is the sense of this league that the recent unanimous action of the convention in favor of the division of the diocese has our condial approval. “Resolved, That we belfeve the erection of the proposed diocese of Washington ts of great imporgance, not only on acrount of the interests of the church in this city, but also,even more, because of the peculiar position of this metropolitan city as a cen- ter of influence and power. “Resolved, That we earnestly indorse the efforts of the special committee appointed by the bishop to raise the necessary funds for the support of the episcopate in the pro- posed diocese of Washington.” On the conclusion of business, Rev. Dr. Addison, rector of Trinity Church, pro- nounced the benediction, after which an excellent collation was served, and a frater- nal interchange of thought and feeling was heartily enjoyed. —_——_—_ ENCOURAG: FACTS. Ys Increase of Population and Decrease of Criminals, From the London News. “Full schools mean empty prisons,” is the motto of the writer of an article in the current number of the “Schoolmaster,” and it must be confessed that the array of facts and figures with which he furnishes his readers yields abundant support to this eminently encouraging doctrine. Far and wide we can see that prisons are, to considerable extent, disappearing, their sites being for the most part taken for the erection of model lodging houses for the poorer classes. “The jails have failed,” as some one has tersely put it, “for want of adequate support from the criminal classes,” and it is significant that they began to be in a bad way when the school board came into active operation, and have gone on declining step by step as the number of children on the roll of the primary school has increased. « In 1870, with a population under 23,000,- 000, we had in England and Wales 12,0 primary schools. Then the number of pris- ons reached 113. In 18% the population had increased to nearly 26,000,000, and the primary schools to 29,000, while the number of prisons had fallen to } than sixty. Roughly speaking, while the number of children in the primary schools had in- creased in the period referred to about threefold, the number of thieves or sus- pected persons on the roll of the police records had diminished by nearly one-third, and this in the face of a large increase in the population. Well may the writer ask who in 1870 would not have looked on the man as a dreamer who had ventured to predict that in the short space of a quar- ter of a century, within a radius of little more than a mile from Westminster palace, jails would be transformed into play places for the workers’ children; into art palaces for the improvement of the workers’ leisure, or into schools for the workers’ little ones. ——— -#e6-- Services in memory of the czar were held in the Greek Church Sunday in New York. THE WORLD OF SOCIETY The Dinners in Honor of Ambassador and Mrs. Bayard. The First Official Dt White House Last Night— Personal Notes. President and Mrs. Cleveland gave a din- ner last night at the White House in honor of Ambassador and Mrs. Bayard. The table was laid in the private dining room, after the custom for small dinners. Covers were laid for eighteen, and the table was decked with white chrysanthemums. To meet the guests of honor there were present the Sec- retary of State and Mrs. Gresham, the Sec- retary of the Treasury and Mrs. Carlisle, the Secretary of War and Mrs. Lamont, the Secretary of the Navy and Miss Her- bert, the Attorney General and Mrs, Olney, the Secretary of Agriculture, Mrs. Clymer and Mr. and Mrs. J. Cadwalader of Philadel- phia, who came on especially for the event. At the dinner to be given tonight by the Secretary of State and Mrs. Gresham for Ambassador and Mrs. Bayard the guests will include most of the members of the cabinet and their wives and a nu a of personal friends of the guests of hi Mr. and Mrs. Charles G. Dulin senda a few days ago from their summer home at Cambridge, Mass., and are now settled for the winter in their K street home. A surprise party was given Mr. W. W. McMichael of Lancaster, Pa., last night in honor of his sixty-fifth birthday. Mr. Mo- Michael is visiting his daughter, Mrs. Chas. Ernst, at 452 M street southwest. The fam- ily presented him with many gifts. A delightful surprise party was tendered Miss Josie Miller last Monday night, at her home, 10i1 Ist street northwest. They were entertained in a pleasant manner by the hostess and her sisters. Palms and chrys- anthemums decorated the parlors. At 9 o'clock the guests to the dining room, where a collation was serv this the time was given up to vocal and instrumental music, Mrs. Laura Lee Simpson of Newport, R. L, is visiting ber aunt, efrs, Byrd Lewin, 2131 P street northwest. © Miss Lena Spriggs of Asbury, Md, is visiting Miss Nellie Cox of Mt. Pleasant. Mrs, Geo. Kelley, accompanied by Miss Mollie Baister, 601 6th street southwest, is visiting in New York, the guests of Mrs. Russell Myers of Colunous avenue. Information has reached here of the seri- ous ilinesn of Mr. J. Kearney Warren, who is stopping at the Clarendon Hovel, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Warren have made their home in Washington the last few years. Mr. Warren has been an invalid for some time, but has been dangerously ill only a few days. The marriage yesterday, in Paris, of Miss Rosalie Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Brown, formerly of this city, and so well known in society, to Mr. Clarence Dolan of Philadelphia occasioned some sur- prise, as the news of the important event had not reached this side in convincing quantities.
