Cily ELlZAF.CTH Kli'LU'OTT l'OK.)
Richmond, A'u., Oct. 9. -One of the
largest collections ever taken up was
gathered In the men's thank offering
service In Holy Trinity Church at 8
jo'clock this morning when a great
corporate communion of the men ai
- tending the 'Episcopal general conven
tion ws held. The offering totals up,
it is said on good authority, about
one million dollars-Hjid hmro basins of
gold were nccesasry to hold tile !
bunches of bank notes, baks of gold, i
tied many of them in the American;
colors or In streaming purple ribbons, I
The collection was taken in utter si-j
lence, therefore was all the more Im
pressive. Private detectives and pic '
liccint nt were scattered through the
church to guard the treasure. Seventy-seven
dloecso contributed.
The offertory thanksgiving song af
ter tills largest single offering in the
history of Christendom was a. mighty
shout of triumph.
The occasion of the offering is ihe
300th anniversary of the American
church and It was decided that the
Churchmen of America should thus
express their thanksgiving for three
centuries of primitive Christianity on
this continent.
A preliminary Condition was that
the offering should be over and above
all the usual contributions of the
church, a special effort, In no way to
-Interfere with the apportionment to
each church from the head of missions
or with parochial expenses of each
congregation. .
Two Subscriptions of $100,000 Knrh.
Mr. J. P. Morgan; of New York, and
Mr. George C, Thomas, of ..Philadel
phia, each gave tliiO.COO through their
dioceses, and there were other gills
ranging down from $"0.n(M) to $10,000,
but the primal aim of the committee
has been so far as possible In the time
allotted to secure a contribution from
every man and boy In the church as
far as he Was able to contribute. The
demand has been for men first and for
money secondarily.
At 8 o'clock this morning Holy Trin
ity Church, where the general con
vention opened a service With holy
communion, was held, led by the pre
assist-!
siding bishop. Hlshop Tattle,
ed by Hlshop Greer of New York,

Then followed a definition of what
the committee considered the objec

At a meeting of the conference, held
last, night at. .10 o'clock, it was report
ed that the senior and junior Classes
had "adopted the resolution almost to
man, only two or three men in both
hisses refusing to sign. The sopho

refused to adopt the resolution. The

LITTLE DOING
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
New Orleans, Ocl. 9. A special to
the New Orleans Item from Stamboul,
La., says;
The rain, which was welcomed with
such acclaim has turned out not an
unmixed blessing. While tnc luinrall
will probably keep the trails in llna
condition, it Is almost too continuous
to ullow hunting. Then, too, the. early
morning -miasma is unpleasant to the
presidential nostrils.
Press lieadu.;.arters have been set up
about a mile from the telegraph sta
tion, und representatives from all the
large agencies are on the ground.
Today It Is said that fy trail that
which was struck yesturllay will be
followed. Despite the rumor that the
bears were on I outnumbered by the
mosquitoes, very few evidences have
been found. The scene is then:, but
It Is faint.
Tha hunting dogs have not b?en
working well. For some reason, and
despite the fuel that two of tlie best
trained packs in the country are with
the party, the leaders have been dis
posed to set -off on false trails, and
frequently the whole pack has taken
different directions, each baying us
though It were ubout to tackle not a
Louisiana, but u grizzly bear, in ull Its
fighting furry.
