st. Mary's Cathedral, this city, was to-
day consecrated as Bishop of Trenton,

labored so faithfully being the scene of
the ceremonies. Only once before has
there been witnessed here an event of
such solemn import, attended by rites
so impressive and elaborate, and that
was on the occasion of the conservation
of Father O'Farrell, the first Bishop
of Trenton.
Today, for the appointment of his
his young successor, the Cathedral was
radiant with the PapaI and Episcopal
colors, fragrant with the incense of f1ow-
ers decorating three altars and brilliant
with the soft light of many candles. On
the Bishops throne was his coat-of-
arms, with lion and eagle in silver,
and the Blessed Virgin in gold, the de-
sign being surmounted by the episcopal
hat and Observation-Disclosures del sum id
