An Address 60 YOnng Mon.

William M. Field delivered an ad.
dress in Riddles chapel on Sunday
afternoon to an audience In which there
was quite a number of young men, the
address being principally designed for
them. Ha laid down the rule of con-
duct by which young men could make
themselves respected and useful mem
bers of society. He condemned tip
pling, beer drinking and profanity in
forcible language. He sharply criti-
cised the Court in granting license in
the face OF q heavy protest from the
business men and respectability of the
neiR hborhood and declared that no
foot of land belonging to the Riddle
property should ever knowingly be
sold for liquor saloon purposes. So far
as he was concerned his influence
would be exerted to prevent the depot
of the Baltimore and Philadelphia
Railroad from being surrounded by
liquor saloons as the p, w. & B. depot
was now nearly surrounded. Mr..
Fields address was listened to with the
greatest interest.

Catholic Clerical Changes.

For several days past reported changes
in the appointment Of priests have been
received, but nothing definite was
known until yesterday. Though it IL
not definitely settled upon, yet the pro-
liabilities are strongly in favor of Bish
op Becker going to Savannah, Georgia,
and that Father Foley, OF Baltimore,
will be created Bishop and sent to
Wilmington. The imm ediate reasons
for such . change has pot been made
known, but 1t is certain 1t IL not made
on account OF any dissatis sfaction with
Bishop Becker, 1t is more likely that
the Bishop Ia recognized In the move,
ment as an efficient worker and one that
IL particularly needed In the Savannah
Diocese.
The death of Father Reilly, who for
40 many years has been the able con-
fsssor and priest Of st. Mary's church,
has necessitated several changes In the
local priesthood. The Vicar-General
ship OF the Wilmington Diocese having
been left vacant by his death, Father
McGrane has been advanced TO that
position. He has for long time been
an assistant at st. Peter's Pro Cathedral.
Father Fallon, former pastor at st
Paul's Parish, but Of later years pastor
of st. Patrick's church, which he
built hss been appointed Father Rsil-
ly's successor in charge Of st. Mary's
parish. He will PROBABLY remove to
his new appointment next Saturday.
For pastor Of ct. Patrick's church
several priests have been snggested,
amongst them rather Lyons, formerly of
St. Peters, this city, but now in charge
of parish In ElktOn, Md, and Father
Bradford son of James Bradford, Of this
city, formerly OF Easton, Md but now
at Dover Del. 1t In said that either OF
these priests are entitled by priority to
the appointment before Father Fly nm,
who has been assistant at st. Mary's,
but In case these priests should forego
their claim IL 10 probable that Father
Flynn a general favorite in the church
and with those who know him outside
of the church, will be appointed.
