distance east of Ashburnham, Mass The

seen from distance. In the fall of the

the other.

CATHOLIC PRELATES.
AN IMPORTANT MEETING SOON TO

The Archbishops Are to Discuss nIn.tors
OF Moment TO tho Church, and Cardi-
nal Gibbons Will Preside ut Their De-
liberations.
Preparations are now being made for n
most important meeting of prelates of the
roman Catholic church of the United
States. In some respects it will be more
notable than the great council at Balti-

ops and bishops mitred abbots and theo-
logians and the heads of religious orders.

The council has been called by Pope Leo
Aill, through Cardinal Lelochowski. and
will meet in New York on Oct. 10.
The coming session will be important In
tne respect that it will be the first meeting
OF inc heads OF the Roman Catholic church
In the United States since the third plennrv
council at Baltimore, and for the reason
that for the first time the result Of the
rulings of that council will be FORMALLY
discussed.
!e may seem strange that bishops are
noe admitted to the coming council How
ever, this is but a formality. Every do
cese will be represented, for the pope's in
structions to the archbishops are that they
snail consult their suffragan bishops on
all points before attending the council
Cardinal Gibbons, whose diocese-now
an archdiocese-is the oldest in the United
States will preside, as he did ut the Balti-
more council. 1t was for his services in
TINS capacity, by the way, that he received

possible to have walls held firmly in

mark true level. With the vial

safe to use on stations of 100 feet
