Addres: (Copyrighted.) THE NEW BISHOP Dr. Satterlee’s Decision to Be An- nounced Next Week. SME DOUBT AS 90 HIS ACCEPPANCE ——— Election to Be Ratified bv the Standir » Committees} weet RR CLOSE OF THE CONVENTION ie See be As stated in The Star yesterday, Rev. Henry Yates Satterlee, rector of Calvary Church, New York, was elected bishop cf the new dioces> of Washington. No official intimation was given as to whether Dr. Satterlee would ept this high office, but Dr. Mackay Smith, who knows him well, gave it us his personal opinion that he would. The election of a bishop by the diocesan ecnvention was not consummated until the clergy had taken eleven ballots. The laity, after some discussion of their right to vote uranimously in confirmation of the nomina- tion of Dr. Satterlee by the clergy, voted as the clergy had done, singly, and con- firmed the action of the clergy by a vote of 51 to Dr. McKim introduced a resolution, which was unanimously adopted, pledging the an- the salary agreed to by the convention on Thursday, as, he said, {t would be most un- ecmfortable for the bishop of the diocese of Washington to live and maintain the dignity of his office on a salary of $5,000. The convention co: the session by p: vsual at the close of a convention. solutions At the cenclusion ef that routine business the con- vention was declared day. adjourned without To Notify the Rey. Dr. Mackay Smith and Rev. Dr. J. H. Elliot, the president of the diocesan convention, were appointed members of a committee to notify Dr. Satterlee of his ticn to the new bishopric. A layman to be added to the committee, and this morning Dr. Mackay Smith had a confer- ence with Dr. Elliot on the subject. Prob- ably an official notification will be sent to Dr. Satterlee by mail, though the members of the committee may feel that it would be more courteous if they should go to New York in person io explain the situa- tion and to urge upon him the acceptance of the high office. atterlee is the rector of one of the most influential churches in New York, end is one of the most popular divines in the metropolis. His salary ts considerably larger than it will be here, so that ings considered acceptance on his part will mean some degree of seif-sacrific Sul, the general is that he can ppt the call. He man of some means outside of bis ry, aithouch he is rot what ed a wealthy man.

One of them visited in Wash- ‘ton last winter, and made her debut in this city at one of the large entertain- ments. Even if he should accept the position it ill probably be scme time yet before Dr. Satterlee could take charge of the new episcopate. His affairs in Néw York are so considerable that it will take no smali amount of time for him to clear them up. In case of his acceptance, his election to the bishopric must be ratified by a major- ity of the fifty-three dioceses of the coun- try through their standing committees and bishops. As a rule, this is not much more than a matter of form, for only once er twice in the history of the church in this country has this ratification been withheld. In the case ef a men like Dr. Satterlee it not likely to be delayed for long. In Gute season he will be consecrated by the presiding bishop, at such place as he may choose, probably in his own church in New York. There will also be a. celebration of some sort to mark his coming to Washing- ton. Dr. Mackay Smith's Estimate of Him. Dr. Satterlee is a moderate high church- man, but it ts said that he is not so ex- treme in his views as to antagonize any element in the church. Dr. Mackay Smith said to a Star reporter this morning that in his opinion the nomination of Dr. Sat- terlee as bishop might well be regarded as providential. “He is the only man, I feel sure,"’ continued the popular rector of St. John's, “who could have been satisfactory to all the delegates in the convention, and upon whom both extremes could have united with such good feeling. I do not see how a better man could have been selected for the place. Dr. Satterlee may not be one of the leading pulpit orators of the country, but he is one of the most success- ful ministers, and what he says carrtes weight from the very personality of the man. He is honest and earnest—the sart of a man who would go to the stake with a smile on his face for the sake of his con- victions if need were. He has an abun- dance of what we call personal magnetism. He looks you squarely in the eye, and you feei_at once that you are dealing with a good man and a gentleman. He will make his influence felt for good in this city. I think that the head of the new diocese should be a man who can take his proper position in the life of the capital, and fill it with credit to himsef and to the church. “Dr Satterlee is such a man, and I feel sure it will not be long before Bishop Sat- terlee will be regarded as one of the strong- est and most popular men in or out of the church in Washington.” Abcut seven years ago Dr. Satterlee was offered the charge of the Detroit diocese, but he concluded that he had a better field in New York. When Bishcp Brooks of Mas- sachusetts died, Dr. Satterlee was mention- ed as his successor, but he did not get the call, For many years he has been one of the Lest known and most aggressive minister in New York, especially against the domi- nation of Tammany Hall in municipal pol- New Bishop. be prevailed upon to a is a con- + and Ps.

Speelal Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, December 7.—Rev. Dr. Henry Y. Satterlee, rector of Calvary P. Church, who was yesterday elected ishop of Washington, declined today to discuss the matter. He designated his daughter to speak for him. She said her father expected a committee from the dio- cesan convention to call upon him next y or Tuesday, and would then give ver. H®& will not until then dis- cuss the matter with any one. Miss Sat- terlee, however, intimated that her father would not accept the honor conferred on him. He has already declined two bish- oprics, and is so thoroughly in harmony with the congregation of Calvary that it would be in the nature of a sacrifice for him to accept the tall to Washington, al- though he is persofally disposed to view it with favor. Tho rector of Calvary has not, however, finally decided. Just what his decision will be, according to his daugh- ter, he will make public only when the committee calls upon him next week. ——___ AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.

Mrs. Maxfield’s Second Attempt at Suicide—Large Number of Police The number of needy people who’ are ap- plying to the authorities for assistance is steadily increasing. The city has not yet made contracts for furnishing provisions and fuel, and many of the applicants can- not be supplied. In some urgent and worthy cases some assistance is afforded. One family, living on the western end of King street, were reported yesterday by Officer Atkinson as being on the verge of starvation. No fire was in the house, and not a mouthful of food had they had for twenty-four hours. The children were barefooted and with only half enough clothes to cover them. Wood and gro- cerles were at once sent them, and they will receive further aid from the charita- ble. Work has been slack all summer and is scarcer now, and those who hoped to get far enough ahead during the warm Weather to meet the wintry blasts havé found their hopes shattered, and the first snow has overtaken them with nothing frcm which to draw. Attempted Suicide. When Mr. Edward Maxfield, who lives at 1120 Prince street, returned home from his work at the Southern railroad shops at noon yesterday ne found his wife in a comatose condition from the effects of Jaudanum, with an empty bottle by her side. He hastily summoned Dr. Herndon, who by administering proper emetics suc- ceeded in restoring Mrs. Maxfield to con- sciousness, and she is now out of danger. It seems that she had some misunderstand- ing with her husband during the morning, which caused her to attempt the rash act. This is the second time Mrs. Maxfield has attempted to commit suicide. The affair caused a great deal of excitement in the neighborhood at the time. fice Court.

Not the harsh ringing rumbling tone—only suitable for big concert halls—but mellow and low to fill the home parlor with delightful har- mony.
