Nov*. 6.—Columbia Ib en tertaining tho great Episcopal Mla- ■lon&ry Conference, which begins to day and continues till November 8. It lx now certain that it will be the largest gathering of the kind ever held in the South. It is estimated that there will be between 850 and 600 bishops, clergy and lay delegates in attendance. But these do not* by any means, complete the^lst. It Is more than probable that each church of the department, whlali in cludes South Carolina, Georgia, Flori da. Alabama, Mississippi. Louisiana. Cuba and Puerto Rico, will send more members.of the laity, just as visitors ns general delegates, than It will send full delegates. One of tho problems that the com mittee had to solve was the finding of halls large enough to hold with com fort the enormous gatherings at the various sessions. But ttfTs has been satisfactorily solved. There will be meetings in Trinity and Good Shep herd churches, in Craven Hall and in the opera house. The people of Columbia have, as is customary with them, responded fully and generously to the call of the com mittee to help entertain the delegates. Almost every* family has signified Uh readiness to entertain one or more of the visitor*. In addition to this general hospitali ty*, the Chamber of Commerce 1ms made provision for a reception of the dele gates at the state house on Wednesday from 6 to 8 o'clock. The large number of bishops and of other men of the greatest prominence In the Episcopal church will serve to make this conference distinctive and memorable. As there are to be such a nuinlMT of Mshops preM iii, tli- com mittf-»‘ h.n i arranged for a sp.-rlal bish ops* session, which will be of unusual interest, as each bishop will give a brief survey of his diocese and Its needs and opportunities. The program for today Is as follows: Tuesday* November 6. Opening service in Trinity church. Short address of welcome by the bishop of the diocese and addresses upon: (a) "The American Episcopal Church and Its Place in the Life of the Na tion." Speaker, the Rev. C. B. Wilmer, D. D., rector of St. Lukea church, At lanta, Ga. (b) "The American Episcopal Church and Its Present and Future Work for the Nation." Speaker, the Rt. Rev. C. K. Nelson, D. D. r bishop of Georgia.

HOKE SMITH'S FIRM PETITION FOR DEPOT The romance and exciting doings of the great West In Its early days, when it was wild and woolly, and when cowboya and Indians and things glo ried In' each other's gore, have lost none of their fascination as a msdlum of entertainment. People still like to see enacted on a miniature prairie In front of a canvas grandstand the lislr-ralslng episodes whlct) have found another outlet In the novels of th* “Ollle, the Outlaw," or "The Mon With the Silver Wind pipe" variety. The else of the crowds which wit nessed both performances of the wild West show, presented by Pawnee Blit In Atlanta Monday, left no room for doubting the popularity of the be-pls- toled, broncho-bustin' life of the plains of earlier days—the waving wheat- fields of the present.

If the exhibition had been stripped of every thing else—Its several sham battles between Indians and cowboys, crack shooting, acrobatic stunts, the buffalo hunt and the like—the expert horse manship of some of the show people would have been worth while In Itself. The show waa all right, but the crowd was too big and the smoke too thick for the comfort of some of the audience. ■She's really too young to go shop ping alone." , ' 'Yes, she is rather Impressionable.'

M'CANOLESS MALAR IANS FROM MALARIA INTERESTED OLD DARKEY One of the most interested specta tors at the YYIId West parade yester day was an old darkey accompanied by a bevy of "chllluns." He carefully scrutinised tho representatives of the different races as they rode by, and then told the children vrLo the riders were. "Dose am Mexicans,” said the old fellow, as a squad of Cossacks passed. “And ilesc fer sure am Krnbs," said the children's guide as a number of Fili pinos rods along. When a. band of Arabs passed, the old darkay looked at them for a mo ment, and, -then, scratching his head, said; "Ah ain't quite sure des who dry Is, but Ah reckon dey Is Malarlans." The listener did not wait to hear what the next squad might bo, fearing the "darkey" would swear they were consumptives.
