as to be present.
The Hobbies OF the Windsor were
crowded with friends OF the bishop
when the carriage drove up with him
and others. When he entered the

girls endeayored to say a last farewell

Then followed the toasts, which were
responded to with moro than usual
brillianCe and wit. "The ladies" was
responded to by Mr.. John j. ConitE in
creditable effort He spoke of his
vislt to the Worlds Fair, where wo-
mans work can DO seen in Its greatest
perfection. He spoke feelingly OF tho
approaching departure OF the retiring
bishop.
"The Laity;' was responded to by
John A. Howard in a splendid speech
that was enthusiastically received. The
Roman Catholic laity had done much
to show the world that loyalty TO church
did not necessarily mean disloyalty to
country. In West Virginia the influ-
enre OF the lnity had also been felt to n
great extent in state and national rov-
eminent. No Catholic has need to
blush with shame for tho public acts OF
one. lilo spoke feelingly Of the noble
and great Catholic statesman, John H.
Kenna, who so we'll represented tho
little Mountain State In tho United
States senate, and whose life stands as
q monument TO tho trials, lardships
aud final and grand triumphs OF his
career.
On last Sunday, said tho speaker,
whom tho bishop had for the last time
addressed his congregation from tho
pulpit toars had fallen from tho eyos
VI all present. "Tears born OF such
holy emotion that II every toardrop
were q pearl, and thoy wore all pilod
up before tho bishop, thoy could not
possibly represent 40 high tribute.
Tomorrow he goes away from usi wo
lose him not because OF dissatisfaction
but only because tho work Of our holy
church requires mon Of his pro.omi.
mont ability in broader fields than Wost
Virginia. We arc proud that wo can
extend to tho west n probate Of such
high ability. We believe that in his
now field no will not forget ug, though
far away, and that tho glory Of Ills
future work will shlno across and illu.

Tho response Of Col. John 4, McGraw
TO tho toast "0ut Guest" was ono Of
tho beBt Of tho evening and wnn full Of
tho earnestnosB Of tho man. Ho spoke
Of tho respect aud regard in which tho
retiring prolatu 10 hold among tho poo.
