New YORK, Oct. 9,-Ihe following
bulletin was issued from Cardinal

His Eminence, the Cardinal, has had for over

prudent to administer to him the last sacrament.

cese, administered the last rites to His
Eminence. In conversation with a
reporter this morning, Father Preston
said "The Cardinal was 2 little bit
brighter to-day, and while very low
and weak, was quite cheerful His
condition, however leaves US little
hope. His advanced years and the
disease from which ne has been suffer
ing for some time past, together with
q severe cold recently contracted by
him, have had a tendency to hasten
his end He has lived a long life of
usefulness and mis- reputation as an
eccelesiastic is world wide. Of course
in the event of his death the office of
Cardinal will not be vacant long, be>
cause his grace, the Archbishop Corri-
CAD, is coadjutor bishop with the right
Of succession, and ne would become
archbishop Immediately, without the
necessity of confirmation by the au-
thOrities at Rome. 4 circular has
been issued by the cathedral function
aries to all the churches in the diocese
asking of the prayers of the faithful
for his eminence. While there is life
there is hope, and we can only await
Gods will"
