Ihe following bulletin was issued lron
By the clergy dn charge:
HIS eminence, the cardinal, has had foa
over two days a change in his condition
which renders him very weak and appar-
emily in great danger Of death, SO much SO
that it was considered prudent to admins
ter to him the last sacrament.
Rev. Thomas G. Preston, chancellor and
vicar general Of the diocese, administered
the last rights to his eninence. In CONVEX
sation with q reporter Father Preston
said:
The cardinal was a little bit brighter to-
day, and, while very low and weak, Was
quite cheerful. His condition, however,
leaves us little hope. His advane-
ed years, and the disease from
which he has beer suffering together witha
severe cold recently contracted by him,
have had a tendency to hasten his end. He
has lived a long life of usefulness, and his
reputation as an ecclesiastic is worldwide
Ofcourse, in the event of his death, the
office OF cardinal will not be vacant long,
because his grace Archbishop Corrigan is CO.
adjutor bishop, with the right OF success
sion, and he would become cardinal inn
mediately, without the necessity OF confir-
mation by the authorities in Rome. A cir
cular has been issued by the cathedral
functionaries to all the churches in the
diocese asking for the prayers OF the faith
frrl for his eminence. The following bulletin
WAS issued by the cardinals secretary:
The cardinal made his usual profession
Of faith and received Me holy viaGcum by
the ministration of Archbishop Corrigan
There were present Right Rev. Bishop
Laughlin OF Brooklyn, Monsignors Quinn
and Farley. Rev. DR.. Mcdonnell, Rev. F.
Donbresse, S. J., and the Catholic priests
dispatch from the pope was received ex-
pressing his deep sorrow, and giving his
apostolic blessing
Judicial Methods i'll England and Ameri-
A Washington letter stat!, that Chief
Justice Waite has derived very great bene-
fit from his three months trip abroad
Some OF the English papers, just before he
sailed for home expressed regret that more
attention had not been paid him, and rather
chided the bench and bar for failing to en-
terrain him, but the chief justice has 40 COM
plants to make on this score. Before he
left the United States his physicians advised
him that if he expected to rccuperate. he
must avoid all excitement, and particularly
to abstain from the pleasures and tennptsl-
lions OF set entertainments. Following his
advice, he kept out OF fashionable circles
as much as possible, spending only about
two weeks OF his time in London and giving
the remainder Of his stay to quiet enjoy
ment in the beautiful rural districts OF Eng
land and Scotland. On several occasions
he accepted invitations OF distinguished
members OF the bench to sit by them while
in the discharge of their official duties,
and ne was much struck with the
comparison between court practices in
England and America. In England,
the chief justice says, the judges
decide questions much more promptly and
in fewer words than in the United States
At the close OF important cases in England
the presiding judges will often consult
moment or two and announce their decis-
ion before leaving the bench-so different
from the practice in the United States,
where judges will take days and weeks to
get their decisions ready, and then put
them III the form OF lengthy essays.
