mistakes, bad been lent for a charity meet

biscuit-colored silk, with the famous Van.
derbllt pearls, received Princess Chris
tiana. The duke, looking very thin and worn,
opened the meeting and at its end the
duchess escorted the princess around the
rooms to her boudoir for tea.
The ball room, in which the meeting was
held, had not a particle of decoration on
Its high, plain walla. Superb tapestries
they had expected to find, and old French
pictures and furniture, but there was not
a vestige of ornamentation of any kind, nor
waa there a suspicion of moulding even
on the cornices. The vast, plain walls and
ceilings were covered tightly with unin
teresting brown Holland, and tha awkward-looking
wlndowa were glased with
temporary glass, through which the un
eurt&lned sun nearly blinded tha royal
guest aa he aat In its fierce glare. None
of the gilded doors axe yet In position and
none of the odds and ends of furniture In
the other rooms are upholstered. It evi

HAVE THREE IDEAS ON THE SUBJECT

BOSTON, May 1. The committee of flf
teen, which waa appointed by the national
triennial convention of the Episcopal
churoh at Bon Francisco In 1901 to con
sider the advisability of changing the legal
name of the organisation, has secured an
extended report, In which the opinion is
expressed that any change at this time Is
Inexpedient' The report Is to be sub'
mitted to the general convention, which will
assemble In this city nsxt October. The
committee recommends the paasage by the
Boston convention of the following ro
lutlon:
Resolved. That the oommlttee be dis
charged irom tha further consideration of
ine subject
The report la signed by all ef the fifteen
members of the committee, although three
appendices, one algned by aevea member,
a lecond signed by five and a third by
on, are attached. The recond appendix
recommends that the words "Protestant
Episcopal" on th tltl page of the book
of common prayer be stricken out
Although officially party lines were not
drawn In the investigation of the sent!
ment In all of the seventy -eight diocese
and missionary districts, a change was
generally favored by the high church party
and with one or two exception th com
mittee, while agreeing on the report Itself,
divided In the supplementary statement
Milwaukee Start tk Work.
At th Saa Franctco convention the
diocese of Milwaukee presented a memorial
requesting that the bam "Protestant
EdIbcod! Churoh In tha United States'
be changed to that of "The American
Catholic Church' In the United States,'
The request was not passed upon directly
by the convention, but a committee, con
slstlng of five bishops, five priest and five
laymen, waa appointed to ascertain the
desire of th church, and report to tha
Boaton convention. '
The flrat appendix to the report is algned
by Bishops Daniel B. Tuttle of Missouri,
Gsorge W. Peterktn of West Virginia, Pa
vld H. Geer of New York, Rev. S. g.
Moor of Parkersburg, W. Vs., Arthur J.
C. Snowden of Boston, Francis A. Lewla
and Joseph Packard.
They observe that the present name can
hardly be considered aa a hindrance to
growth, alnoa all growth haa been in con
nection with the name. With respect to the
objection that the Catholic character of
the church Is obscured In the eye of
other Cathollo communions by th ham,
it 1 said "Our relatione with the old
Catholic have not been strained by reason
of the title, and In view of the late pope's
denial of the validity of our orders, a
mere change of name Is not likely to
change the attitude of the Bee of Rome
toward us."
Wkat tko Flv Thlak.
Th second appendix la signed by Bishop
Cortland t Whitehead of Pittsburg, Rev.
Oeorge MqClenlan Flsk, B. T. ., of Provi
dence, bishop ooadjutor-eleot of Springfield;
Rev. B. Talbot Roger of Fond du Lao,
Wla. L. H. Morehou of Milwaukee and
Daniel B. Lyman.' They say: "The Indica
tions shown ar most abundant that the
majority of our bishops, clergy and laity
ara pronouncedly dissatisfied -with our pres
ent title, and many apply to It more or less
derogatory adjectives. It la perceived that
It la a monument to diasentlon and perpetu
ates memories of which all earnest Chris
tian people would gladly rid themselves In
the Christian World. It la a wall Vf sepa
ration on the on hand against our Roman
brethren, and on the other differentiates
US from our non-Eplsoopal brethren. It Is
to ua humiliating that w must be forever
measuring our longitude from the pope of
Rome a the meridian and our polity be
made disproportionately prominent in the
eyes of our fellow Christians at every men
tion of the name."
"I Waa to Chaagro Yon Name."
Th statement concludes with th ug
geatlon that the Boaton oonventlon enact
legislation by which tha worda "Protestant
Episcopal" shall be omitted from the title
page of the prayer book until such time as
the people can be brought to favor a suita
ble legal designation.
The third statement, whloh Is brief, Is
signed by Rev, John H. Egar of Rome, N.
T., and auggeat that the nam b changed
to that of "The Church In the United States
of America." The two remaining members
of the committee, Bishop John Scarborough
of New Jersey and W. A. Leonard of Ohio
make no suggestions.
In .-New England the diocese of New
Hampshire was the only one to vote for an
Immediate change, although th clergy pf
Vermont expressed a similar opinion, and
th laity favored a correction at som fu
ture time. The large eastern dloocse were
opposed to any correction at present, but
the high church strongholds of the west
held opposite views.
