 THE NEW BISHOP. A Sketch of the Career of the New
 Catholic Bishop, Rev. Father Tier
 ney-Much Satisfaction Expressed
 Among New Haven Catholics.
 As mentioned in yesterdays paper Rev. Father Michael Tierney is the new bishop of the diocese of Hartford, successor to the late Rev. Bishop McMahon. He was the choice of the New England bishops, and the pope has ratified their selection. The selection is heartily approved by all the Catholic clergy, and the qualifications of the new bishop are highly spoken of. The new bishop is dtty-four years of age. A dispatch from New Britain says of him!
 "He was born in Ireland in September, 1889, and at the age of eight years came to the United States with his parents and set tied in Norwalk. It was there he really began his education. He studied in the schools of that town and later entered St. Thomas college, Bardstown, Kentucky. He studied philosophy and theology in Mon tree1 and finished his education in Troy, N. Y., where on May 28, 1866, he was or dained to the priesthood. The young priest was first located in Providence, R. l., and acted as rector and chancellor of the cathedral there for six years. While in Providence he developed that executive and administrative ability that has been so characteristic of his life ever since. He built the Christian Brothers school, which has since grown to bs noted educational institution in Providence. Father Tierney left Providence to become pastor of 8 parish in New London. He rebuilt the church there, but after little less than two years he was removed to Stamford. He succeeding in erecting handsome church in that town, and three years later he went to Hartford and was appointed pastor of St. Peter's church. It was under his direction that the schools and chapel of the cathedral and St. Peter's convent were built. Before he had been quite seven years in Hartford, Rev. Dr. Carmody died in this city and Father Tierney came to New Britain to assume charge of St.
 Mary's parish, Rev. Father Tierney's
 work in New Britain is too we'll known to need repetition here: His life has indeed
 been 8 busy one. It was here that his
 business ability was given full sway; as a result he has succeeded in erecting one of the hsndsomest churches in the state.
 Personally, Father T:erney is 8 very agree able man. He is devoted to the duties of the priesthood, is ever on the alert to in- spire his parishioners with religious en- thusiasm, and his voice Is ever raised for their spiritual welfare. He is not an ora tor, in the true acceptance of the term,
 but is an effective speaker"
 MUCH SATISFACTION EXPRESSED. A prominent Catholic of this oity, half g century 8 resident here, devoted friend of the St. Francis orphan asylum sincs its foundation, said last evening: "The choice of Rev. Father Tierney is an admirable one, and his appointment is hailed with satisfaction by our New Haven Catholics. It Is with the utmost pleasure that we I learn that the bishops mantle has fallen upon g clergyman from our own locality \ oS ~ WCASS oS ASoAohuA HULL s4ic no- | lection of one from another diocese, unac | qusinted with the diocese. Father Tier ney understands the cage, the situation, ,the parishes, the priests, and the people of his ! diocese. No outsider could come to the | diocese thus equipped for an immediately ! and practically successful administration | Father Tierney ts, moreover, eminently | discreet aud wise. His discreetness is \ coupled with keen perception and no SC | verity. He will prove a wise administra
 tor of the affairs of the diocese and his ap | pointment is indeed most acceptable" AN OLD FASHIONED SUPPER.
