Eligibility of Women Resu omitted by
the General Conference at Cleveland.

To THE EDITOR OF The NEWS:
SIR-Excuse me, put many are urging
me TO give public statement of the pres
ent and exact status OF the above ques-
tion. The idea prevails, from q declara-
tion in THE NEWS, that the woman dele
gates were permitted to retain their seats
by courtesy OF the General Conference,
and that they arc still holding said ssats
Nay, for on Monday, May 4, these
women. "for the sake of peace" re-
linquished tbeir-seats. Their action was
endorsed. Discussion on the eligibility OF
women as lay delegates continued, how
ever, until into the opening of the session
Thursday, a. M, May Z. True, that de-
bate was battle of giants, but both in
committee and on the floor of the confer
ence, eye witnesses say an amicable spirit
prevailed, and IL is On unjust caricature,
by which many OF the daily newspapers
have represented that debate
Thursday a. m. the conference brought
in a report according to the request OF
the General Conference, namely: "That
they find, il possible, some common
ground OF agreement; and tn is report,
when made. was TO the effect that the
whole question be re-submitted 10 the an
nual conferences. This report was
adopted by an overwhelming majority
and amid applause and much enthusI-
asm.
SO the present status OF this question
is simply this: The friends OF women in
the General Conference of the NJ. r..
Church, have come to a better mind and
have decided not to coerce or hurry this
thing; TO have il come as all constitu-
ttonai changes must come, by the re-
quired three-fourths vote. Hence, at
ensuing sessions of annual conferences
until the 1f5 throughout the world, have
voted on the above, no one can tell
whether women will be made eligible or
rot. Tire writer is free to say, he thinks
beyond doubt. the closing general con-
ference Of this century, 1893, will witness
women seated in that body and with her
"title clear" as also, we hope, "to
mansions in the sky. "

VICAR GENERAL CAFFERTY DEAD
He Was Formerly Well Known Resident
OF the North End.

At Atlanta, Ga, died last Thursday the
Very Rev. Edward Cafferty. aged 90
years, who for 10 years had been the
vicar general of the Roman Catholic dio-
cese OF Savannah, Ga. The deceased cler-
gyman was we'll known in the North
END, for before he began his studies for
the priesthood he mace his home with
his first cousin, Patrick Caherty, who
for great many years has resided on
Lippitt street. He also spent his vaca-
tions with his cousin and quite frequent
ly visited him and the Catholic clergymen
of this city, among whom the late Rev.
Fathers Corney and Mcguire OF the Inn
maculate Conception Church and Kew.
Church were his particular friends.
Very Rev. Father Cafferty was ordained
at st. Msry's Seminary, Baltimore, ana
immediately after his ordination, went to
the cathedral parish at Savannah, where
he remained during his 20 years In the
Thanksgiving, he preached at the Holy
Name Church, and last September, after
several months OF feeble health, no made
VISIT TO ireland, and while there he
was under tho care OF Sir Charles Nixon
OF Dublin, the great specialist o n diseases
OF the heart. though very SICK; while
at his native place in the county Leitfim,
he appeared to grow better and about
two months ago returned to Savannah in
good spirits.
The eighth day of last January was the
25th anniversary OF his ordination to the
priesthood, and on his return from Ire
land the event was appropriately celebrat-
ed in Savannah and Atlanta, among the
many choice presents given him being q
gold chalice by the priests of the latter
city on April 9.On his return to Savannah b
his old trouble returned and HE physic-
ians advised him TO go again TO Atlanta,
and he did 40, but the end was nearer
than any of them expected, and he died
at St.Joseph's Infirnary.
Ii Was while on a visi to Ireland that
he was summoned home to accept the re-
sponsible duties of vicar general by then
bishop, but now Archbishop Gross, and
he rendered him good service as he did
his successor, Bishop Becker. Very Rev.
Father Cafferty wasa man whose many
noble qualities, hid won the love and
respect of Protestants as well as Catholics
in Savannah, ,and his abilities were shown
In a marked manner in the administratio On
OF his office. His attention to the sick
during the yellow fever epidemic won for
him a place in the hearts OF the people of
his adopted city that will long keep his
memory fresh amcong them.
Rev. Father Walsh, at the services at
,he Holy Name Church, yesterday, paid a
touching tribute to the virtues OF the de-

above mentioned our attention was called
to an old house, now we'll filled with

II rather saddens US to think this spot

the enterprise OF the town will soon see
to II that It is.
Another spot was shown Us, the house
where Warren slept the night before the
battle of Bunker HILL. Close by this
sacred spot is shown where the Second
Provincial Congress met In 1776.
The first church yard OF the Town we
were much pleased to note was kept In
fine condition. The enterprise OF the
town in thus marking Its historic epots
is entitled to great credit.

Watertown and noting the general thrift
and neatness OF its people as shown about
their homes, the beauty OF its public
buildings the schools, churches, Libraries,
etc., the care OF its cemeteries, the mark
ings of the historic spots, will AT once
form a very favorable opinion Of the peo-
ple. Where such things are seen the peo.
ple will be found to have reached high
standing also. We came away from
the town with regret, feeling that we
were too soon deprived OF such rare
feast of good things but shall place the
first day of our life spent here as q red
letter day in our pilgrimage below, al
the same time ever remembering those
kind friends and relatives who spared nc
pains to make our visit agreeable, inter

May stare or Adjournment.

Washington, May lS.-The impression
is growing about the Capitol that the
silver men will soon take a position
against final adjournment before the
national conventions. The movement
embraces silver advocates in both houses
and of all parties, and there is no doubt
that some OF the leaders hold the opinion
that il will be wise to postpone adjourn
ueat until there shall be opportunity
to know what position the conventions
will take on the financial question.

INTERESTING wArERrowN.
A Visit to the Place That Is Associated
With Lief Erickson.

1t Is said that variety 10 the spice OF life
and therefore tnat must have been the
design OF nature in creating such an in
finite variety in all her paths and through
all her moods. SO. perhaps, the great
pleasure We enjoyed In our visit TO Water
town, Mass, would AFFORD no pleasure or
satisfaction TO many others of the human
race. Others, however, among your
many readers, might be much interested
In what We now write.
AS the first home in New England OF
my emigrant master, Thomas Arnold, 1t
Is more than interesting TO me, and to
view the site upon which he lived for
about 20 years has been passion with
me for years. When circumstances or
dered that our wish should he gratifed we
were more than honored. Accompanied
by distant relative and present resi-
dent of the town (Mr. William q. Com
stock). we visited the site OF the Tromas
Arnold house. The land has been turned
out To pasture. The cellar has been par
tally hlled. The district schoolhouse Is
on part OF the land. In the vicinity we
noticed several new houses being puilt
and the indications seemed TO be that
the neigh hborhood would soon be q respcc-
table residence resort.
On the site of his wife's fathers house
the widow simpsons sons estate we find
no buildings but Alvin Adams, the foun-
der of the Adams Express Company, mad
turned il into a beautiful lawn. The
Parkhurst estate was used for nursery and
cold frame purposes. SO far for personali-
ties.
The works of the late Prof. Eosford
regarding the Norsemep. with which /
am familiar, made the scenes pointed out
here doubly interesting. The site Of the
wharves and warehouses now covered by
huge manufacturing concern, the long
trench. the site of Leif's house, the scene
OF the first battle, the ampitheater, all
possessed q deep interest. The monu-
ment at Boston to Lief was fascinating.
IL showed a strong, roubst man in the
bow.of his boat, with a speaking trumpet
at his right side. His left hand was raised
and shading his eyes while he was bend
ing-an anxious, watchful look towards
the west. The artist has seemed to catch
the inspiration of the hour; he seems to
have mastered the situation. He has made
the picture so realistic that even a child
can see that renowned man in fancy as
he stood on the bow of his boat 900 years
ago. A work of art like this is worth
going some distance to zee.
Next In interest was the monument
situated in the now town of Weston
upon the bank overlooking the Charles.
From the top OF this tower q good view
can be had OF the vicinity. This monu-
ment Is built In q circlar form, has 69
granite steps curved in a spiral form lead
Ing to the top. The walls are common
boulders laid in cement and are
peirced at intervals to let in light. 1t is
claimed that here Lief had his fort. The
ground about II Is covered with a small
growth of wood. No doubt soon in the
future, the ground will be cleared and
made into a small park.
At the base OF the monument is q tablet
upon which is recorded the following:
