o MORE FEMALE COOKS.

NO MORE FEMALE COOKS.
In pursuance to an order issued short time
ago by the provincial Of the New York Mary
land province, the female cooks at the Jesuit
parsonages have been succeeded by males.
Owing to the ill-health Of the pastor Of Trinity,
Father Murphy, at the time of the issuing Of
the order it was not thought advisable to
change his cook, but now as death has claimed
him, at the first opportunity q brother from
New York has been brought down who will
hereafter take charge Of the Trinity kitchen.
The new brother will not teach the parochial
school as did Brother Whelan, his predecessor,
but will confne his work to the kitchen. The
school will be under the exclusive charge Of
ladies. The costly repairs to the large church
organ have been completed and the tone Of the
instrument much improved.
