ARCHBISHOP CORRIGAN.
Manners and Disposition of the
New York Prelate.
Everybody Talks About Him, But Only a
Few Know Bim-His characteristics
Analysed by an Unbiased
Newspaper Man.

The present archbishop of New York
ought to be the best known prelate in
the country, If newspaper notoriety can
make a man known. For nearly two
years, says the New York Tribune, the
American press gave him extraordinary
attention In connection with the George
McGlynn controversy, attention so close
and far-reaching that the meanest
sheets of the stupidest towns in the
country served up weekly accounts of
him to their readers. That notoriety
does not make a man known is exem-
plified in the case of Archbishop Corri-
gan, who has never been properly
known, in one mans opinion, even by
his own councillors. His position at
the head Of the most important diocese
in the country, perhaps in the world,
leaves him open to odious comparisons,
The admirers of Hughes, of Gibbons, OF
Ireland, of Spalding complain that he
has not the courage of the first, the tact
of the cardinal, the force of Ireland, the
literary taste Of Peoria's bishop; that
he takes no active interest in the gener-
al welfare of the church in America,
being too content with diocesan routine
work; in consequence the influence
which an archbishop of New York
might WELD at Rome and in America
for the general good is lost to the
church.
These comparisons are made by men
who like and respect the archbishop,
and who feel the need of a leader, which
they do not find in him. The same com
parsons are made by men who dislike
him for reasons not very clear and often
unsound. 1t is unnecessary to dispute
the fairness of the comparisons, since
the archbishop can have force, tact
courage and literary taste without dis
playing them in the same way as the
prelates named. In many things Arch

Potatoes Growlng LlI.e Pease.

Wellbaugh and Chening, in their ex-
%plorations in the Colombian Andes,
have discovered a species of potato the
vines Of which were covered with we'll
developed tubers growing in the open
air like pease OF tomatoes. Each pota-
to is protected by "A thin film or mem
brane, not unlike that which envelops
the ''ground cherry" They do not
grow in clusters, each being given
plenty of space in which to thoroughly
mature. The natives say that during
the dry season the membrane surround
ing each potato Is filed with water,
which in a measure protects it from the
rays of the sun.

bishop Corrigan is unconsciously decep-
tive, in all his disposition is ~secretive.
For example, his personal appearance
gives his fifty years the semblance Of
forty, his retiring habits make n sus-
pect his ability to lead, his devotion to
routine seems to exclude effective inter
est in affairs not diocesan, his silence
under widespread aspersion argues in
difference to public praise II blame.
Among the priests of his years his fresh
color, unwrinkled skin, alert movement,
give him a boyish air. He has few con-
fidants, perhaps none. He is seen for a
few minutes at a time by the crowds
that besiege his doors, for a few hours
once a year by the pastors whose mis-
sions he visits officially. Hence the
general ignorance of his character,
which is nowhere more surprising than
in New York.
How smoothly amid trying circum-
stances diocesan life in NewYork moves
on. DIR. McGlynn vainly exhorted the
hosts of labor to rise against Archbishop
Corrigan for having dismissed their
champion. The daily irritation aroused
by the mingling of races is never per-
mitted to continue, the complaints car
ried to Rome are n~eutralized by answer
ing fact and diplomacy, and the surface
calm is steadily maintained. The paro-
chial schools are strengthened yearly
in number and efficiency. To do all
this, together with the routine work of
the diocese, to preserve order, prevent
quarrels and scandals and deal SO skill
fully with foreign populations and their
protectors, requires more patience,
courage, tact and prudence than men
have been ready to place to the credit
Of Archbishop Corrigan. A moments
thought will convince any experienced
person that such results are not secured
by accident. In the opinion of some
people they prove the archbishop to be
an administrator of consummate ability,
and of undoubted courage. His diff
denee has been called timidity, and his
love of retirement Indifference to the
general welfare. The man who can adj
minister for years so difficult a diocese
and retain the youthful face and manner
which are the archbishop's can lack
neither courage nor knowledge. His
appearance secures him friends
wherever he goes, His speech at the
banquet to the archbishop of st. Louis
aroused boundless enthusiasm by it's
straightforward declaration of Ameri-
can principles, its courage and its fit
ness.
Archbishop C~orrigan's enemies say he
has his limitations, his deficiencies, even
his faults. All, however, admit his up
rightness, his piety, his courtesy.

STATE ASSOCIATION
FORMED FOR THE PROTECTION OF FISH AND
GAME.
Permanent Organization Effscted-A Good Pros
psct That Existing Fish and Game Laws
VIII DO Enforced.

On the evening Of October 18th, a
meeting OF representative sportsmen
from all parts OF the State was held at
the residence OF Mr.. James T. ThOmp-
son in Martinsburg, w. Va, to form
what is to be known as "The West Vir-
GINA State Sportsmen's Association,
for the protection OF fish and game. "
There were a large number OF sports
mer present from all parts OF the State,
Wheeling being represented By six
members OF the Island Gun Club. Jas.
I. Thompson, OF Martinsburg, was
elected president; ]. A. Penn, Of
Wheeling, secretary, and Mr.. Goshorn,
OF Charleston, treasurer. Mr.. c. H..
Townsent, editor Of Forest and Stream,
Of New York, made some remarks out
lining the objects Of such an asSocia-
tion and giving the most practical plan
OF carrying the same to a successful
issue.
1t was moved and carried that each
gun club in the State be requested to
elect a Vice President to this Associa-
ton, such officer 20 be the ruling spirit
in his club, town and section Of country
towards bringing the same into active
cooperation with this Association In
enforcing, what we now recognize, as q
set OF fish aud game laws that have
become dead letter on our Statute
Books.
Thanksgiving Day the Island Gun
Club of Wheeling will hold an all-day
tournament on their grounds at which
It is expected that representatives from
every gun aud fishing club in the State
will be present. A second meeting will
then DO called and the matter Of hold
ing q grand annual State meeting will
then be discussed and decided upon and
the feasibility OF petitioning the Legis-
lature for the appointment OF a Game
Warden, whose duty it shall be to
prosecute vlolaters OF the game and
fish laws, will also be considered. West
Virginia has long been recognized as
Astounding In the most small game

sportsman and lover OF a days recrea-
tion seeking game and fish and health
and relief from business cares, will be
rewarded for every effort put forth for

being rapidly depleted and which un-
less something is done, will soon be a
thing Of recollection. A cordial invita-
ton is extended to all gun clubs and

game to send a representative to the
next meeting OF the Association al
