Among Yerkes* most treasured pos-sessions is a collection of Oriental rugsthat is said to be the finest and mostcostly in the world, even exceeding invalue and beauty the collection of theShah of "Persia or that in the BritishMuseum. These rugs are twenty-threeInnumber and are hung upon the wallsof a gallery that Yerkes had built espe-cially for them. Several years ago hehad the designs copied in their originalcolors and reduced to book form. Thepaintings are comprised in a set of tenvolumes, one- of which was to remainin the Yerkes collection and the nineothers to be presented to the most fam-ous museums of the world. Each rugwas copied separately and each paint-ing is about two feet long.

Among the rugs is the "Holy Car-pet," for which Yerkes paid $60,000.Some of the others are represented asalmost priceless treasures. In 1897Yerkes purchased and rebuilt the large

mansion at Fifth avenue and Sixty-

eighth street. In this he put his col-lection of paintings, said at that timeto be the most valuable private collec-tion in this country. He also bought

the house adjoining his in East Sixty-

eighth street and made the two intoone. The architect described the firstand main house as costing $600,000, itsfurnishings $500,000 more, which, withthe cost of the lot, made the total near-ly J1.D00.000. Yerkes* painting* at thattime were valued at $1,500,000 and havebeen greatly added to since.

BIG LIST OF DELEGATESExperiment Arouses Vast

Interest Throughout En^tire Anglican Communion

Coincident with the meeting of the.dioc-esan convention of the Episcopal churchIn California' inGrace Church during nextmonth there "willassemble the new houseOf churchwomen, to which has been dele-gated the power to. legislate- upon suchmatters as especially concern '• women'swork in the church.

Formerly Women were elected delegatesto the regular conventions, but this pro-cedure was declared to be both withoutprecedent and. unconstitutional, .and hadto be abolished. :In order. t6.placate themost active portion of \u25a0 church members-ship, a separate house was organized, inwhich the officials were all women, whowere to be permitted, with the advice andin conjunction, with the regular conven-tion, to legislate' upon such .special mat-ters as women are more directly :inter-ested in. •\u25a0

'

There is no precedent for such. a body,and the -whole church, -Anglican, as wellas American, is deeply "interested in- theoutcome of the experiment. \u25a0 The sister-hood in the church is greatly Interested,and the largest delegation. ever present ata diocesan convention is expected to ap-pear. :Every parish or mission Is entitledto a representation of five women, exclu-sive of the male delegates usually ap-pointed. ! .

The house of churchwomen will legis-late from the beginning under prescribedcanonical authority." Itmust first enactrules of procedure and elect officers anddesignate their special prerogatives.There will be some interesting momentsat the session, it is expected, and someof the old-fashioned church people in thediocese, who are disposed to look askanceat the radical departure, are preparingfor the worst. Throughout the diocesethe election of delegates has been theoccasion for • considerable feeling, andcompetition for the honor of sitting Inthe first house of churchwomen everknown has been keen. Among the dele-'gates are names of many matrons knownthroughout the State for activity inchurch and philanthropic work and In thesocial world..
