matter was very thoroughly gone over
by the entire committee and the con

the best interests of all urgent things
pending at present, and due to the
continued generosity of. the people
who make such events possible.

Rev. W. Seymour Short, rector of
Crace Episcopal Church of thia city,
and his sister, Mrs. Frank Spittle,
have just received sad and urgent
summons to their home at Bethel,
Conn., where their aged mother is
lying very ill of dropsical affection,
and they left on last evening's ex
press. Mr. Short could not give any
details, but said that both he and
Mrs. Spittle realized the necessity for
instant departure, since the call came
from their father, who would not
have summonsed them had not the
danger been very manifest. They go
with ttii utmost hone of a host ot
friends' that a change for the better
will have taken place by the time they
arrive there. The rector left so bur
riedly that he could not say anything
an to the immediate work of the
church, but intimated that it would
be attended to promptly and prop
erly, and all interested be duly ad
vised of it. He expects to be gone
the better part of a month.
