6071 South Broadway Corner Sixth- ST. ANDREWS. Much Interest In the Meeting to Held Next Month in Phil. SrECIAI, COnRESI-ONUKNCE OF THE TIMES.) Aug. 6.

A convention of great Interest to the members of the Protestant Episcopal Church, that of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, is to be held in Philadelphia on September 29-30, October 1-2, of this year. Many promlnen: clergymen of this countryi including a number of bishops, will be in attendance, as will a number of prominent churchmen from abroad. Delegations are expected from San Francisco, Denver, St. Louts.

Cbic.go, Washington, D. C. Richmond, Boston, and elsewhere In New En- land and also from England and Jamaica: while naturally all near-v dioceses will be represented. Tha Interest manifested, not only by.hw In adjacent States, but by residents of distant parts, making Inquiry as to the programme and features of the convention and also expressing tlicir Intention to be present, prompts tin belief that this, the nineteenth annual convention, will be the greatest in the history of the society. The Brotherhood of St.

Andrew was organised In 1883 by a few young inn In the Bible class In St. James Church, Chicago, who pledged themselves to dor church work, and especially to bring other young men within the sound of the gospel. From ti small beginning has grown an organization with a membership of of 10,000 In the United States, and with branches In Australia, England, Japan. Scotland and Jamaica. The Brotherhood of St.

Andrev. is primarily an organization of ldrrx! working for Its object under the guidance of the clergy; branches or ennp-ters being conducted 'n connection with the different parishes of the Protestant Episcopal Church. WHY HE IS CALLED "PANT3." Ovid Bell gives In his Fulton Ga zette the explanation most favorable to Vandlver, Folk's manager, of the way he got the nickname "Pants." "Mr. Vandlver," writes Editor Bell, "had received a hurry-up call to tome home to look after his political Inter ests. Four or five ambitious statesmen In the Fourteenth District were blighting his prospects, for being returned to Congress, and his friends thought it best for him to be on th? ground.

"Mr. Vandlver instructed his secre tary, Hal Woodslde who has had charge of the Folk headquarters In St. Louis since last January to prepar his grip for the Journey home, and also, to collect some public documenti and frank them to his Missouri address. Time was short, and Woodside worked hurriedly, with the result that the trousers got into the mall sac-k and some of the documents got lntc the grip. "So far as the government was concerned, It was as ns It waa and there was no difficulty In explalu-Ing to the postoffice Inspector who investigated the matter, but the incident gave the fighting Congressman a nick-name that will last as long as he stayi politics."

Mr. Heineman has not been idle while resting, but has employed much of his time In fishing.

Besides this he took four other big fish ranging down to 180 pounds. 'The Avalon Wireless." published under the auspices of The Times.

GUESTS PAY FOR SOAP. Some Queer Charges In European Hotel Bills that Strangers do Not Appreciate. (Pearson's Weekly: Most British hotels adhere to a stereotyped list of charges, though occasionally travelers come upon strange exactions in out-of-the-way places. British hostelrles, however, are af behind foreigners In the variety and strangeness of their charges. Nearly every European country has some curiosity of Its own.

Many hotels in the Tyrol charge under the heading of ''office," to cover the clerk's time wasted In looking up information about trains and attending to letters. In some parts of South Germany travelers are Invariably charged for soap, whether they bring their own or not. Some small country hotels In Northern Spain supply their visitors with night shirts, for which a charge Is made; and all over the country lug-: gage, not kept In the visitor's bedrooms, is charged a special storage fee. French provincial hotels are proverbially moderate, but there is a hotel at DIJon which charges all Its visitors for "fires" In summer and winter alike. Old-fashioned hotels In Vienna make a charge for "brushing clothes," and visitors are expected to leave their external garments outside their bed room doors on retiring.

"Use of dark room one florin," ap peared in the bill of an amateur; photographer known to the writer, who changed his plates in the bathroom of a big hotel in the same city. Russia beats the world for strange hotel charges. In all but first-class hotels, bedroom towels are charged for; and visitors after paying about tl for a bath, are required to pay 12 cents additional per towel. Country hotls supply beds and mattresses, but charge separately for blankets, sheets and pillows, the theory being that all sensible travelers bring their own. Where there are no railways the posthouse keepers are allowed by law to charge travelers for "fodder for one horse," whether the horse be kept af the Inn or not.

Heavy taxation sometimes leads to curious hotel charges, Many Greeii hotels charge ten lepta (2 cents) a night for matches. In Italy, where the salt tax Is outrageously high, landlords of small Inns charge a cent per head for salt. They also Invariably charge a percentage on postage stamps bought at the Inn. "Use of toilet necessaries" Is responsible for thirty centimes (8 cents) of most Corsican hota! bills. At AJaccio some of the better class hotels charge for "table decorations," and anyone who wishes to avoid this exaction should instruct the bead waiter to put no flowers on his table.

The Item "lights In public rooms" appears ba-slde "bedroom lights" In many Greek hotels. In Sofia hotel-keepers have to pay a special tat for the maintenance of the police force; and they extract this from their visitors by charging specially for hot water. Most Bulgarian hotels charge 25 cents to anyope who comes In after 11 o'clotk at night, and to anyone who down to breakfast after 10. There is a hotel-restaurant in Bucharest which widely advertises a Hungarian band as Its great attraction, but charges 12 cents for "music" in all its bills. In Roumanla, as In Russia, bedding Is universally charged for.

Roumanian country hotels charge a fixed price. according to the visitor's rank, a mer chant paying only two-thirds of tin amount debited to a noble. In Northern Roumanla a traveler's paying capacity is estimated accord ing to the number of horses he travels with. The basis is one horse, and 10 per cent le added to the bill for each additional animal. Servla, however, beats the world Tor the variety of Its hotel bills.

In all but the best class hotels, table linen, bedding, writing materials', hot water. towels and "services of valet" are put down separately in the bill. A Belgrade hotel, some years ago, installed DIFFERENT. "So your son's a painter, Dost he n.iint landscapes?" O. Raffertyt f-aith, ht do not.

A large majority of our patients come to us with all the original disease and part or all of the combinations, resulting from delay and mistreatment.
