THE Catholic Bishops Of this coun-
try are preparing themselves TO at
tend the Grand Council at Rome this
coming winter, by having the requl--
site robes made In Lyons. The cope"
costs from $40 to $50, and the "cappa
magma" 1920, if trimmed with fur.
The Archbishop of Lyons lends his
vestments as patterns, partly because
he Is handy to the manufacturers,
and partly because they are supposed
to be a good imitation of the costly
garments worn by the fisherman Of
Galilee, whose immense wealth, it Is
quite we'll known, enabled them to
indulge in such extravagances OF cos
tune.

MEMORIAL CHAPEL. - When fin
ished, the Memorial Chapel Of the
Wesleyan University, .Middletown,
Conn, will be the finest chapel on an
American college campus. Middle
town organized a company, and her
men were among the earliest In the
field. They fell in many battle,
and many returned with laurels and
without limbs. This edifce is in
memory of them. Already $35, 900
have been expended on it, but S25, 900
additional is required to complete it.
At the recent Commencement, the
Joint Board assumed $4,000 if an
other $4,000 could be raised on the
occasion. The sum Of So, 975 was
contributed by half dozen men, and
it is believed the balance will be
secured without delay. = Western

THU OoUMENICAL CoUNCIL.-A
Roman correspondent of the Perse
veranze states that the Pope is begin
ming to entertain apprehensions as t
the success of the council. The pro

opposition of the highest classes G
the Catholic world to the propose

causes of his anxiety. "Eminen
theologians and canonists, celebrates
lawyers and discreet diplomatists ar
all opposed to the plan, and 1t is feare
that the controversy may excite atten

world. The Curia itself is animatei
by quite the contrary passions an
