The CATHOLIC Telegraph gives the nationality
of the bishops, priests, and laity of it's church
| as follows: In the United States, of the ten
archbishOps four are Irish and of the fifty-six
living bishops twenty-nine are of the same ma
tionality, while of the 5000 priests in the

large audience, many of whom were his friends
from Kansas City. The fact was that no such
lecture had taken place; it was to be delivered
on the corresponding day in the following
week, and the zeal of the reporter had over
leaped itself. But what is week to a Kansas
City journalistic enterprise.
