Before Blackie could open his lips there

Archbishop Corrigan AS q Witty
Freezer.

If any one 5upposes that the arch bishop
of New York is overwhelmed by his trou-
bles with Father McGiYnn, DR. Burtsell
and the interesting Italian who has given
rise to tons OF printed matter since he
landed on our coast, he or she is vastly
mistaken. Prelate Corrigau remains the
atfablc, sunny tempered and witty man
he has always been. Thus when John d.
Crimmins and a few laYmon and clericals
happened to mention with expressions of
regret the unhappy condition of the Duke
OF Neragua's finances some one Venturcd
to say:
The gift of some half a million dollars
to the duke, even though raised by popu-
lar subscription, might be deemed by him
an atirOnt"
But atfronts are pOcketed every day.,
remarked the archbishop, 5miingly
Few Catholics here know that the arch
bishop gives over 81 200 of his own money
TO the poor every year. II was he who
started the fund for the observance of
national holidays in theparochicai schools
by prOfuSe display Of flags and bunting,
and who first worked enthusiastically
among his churches for an imposing dis
play at the worlds fair, at Il time when
New Workers were disposed to frOwn
down the whole undertaking because
Chicago had captured it. The charge Of
being un-American, brought against him
by some Catholics, seems queer in view
OF his WashiugtOn's birthday and Thanks
giving addresses, and his subscriptions
anonymously made, but made neverthe-
less out Of his own private income, to the
worlds fair fund, the Washington mouu-
ment, the Statue of Liberty PEDESTAL the
Martha Washington Mausoleum and
other undertakings Of the kind
Not 70 speak irreverantly, tho arch
