Bishop MorrisOn,s Visitation.
ARE NOW IN

On Sunday last Bishop Morrison,
OF the District of Duluth, made his first
official visitation to the church of the
Good Samaritan (Episcopal in this
city, and in the morning pr cached an
admirable sermon. He speaks without
n totes, is eloquent and commands the
closest attention. In this style he con-
firms to no rules, but is not effective
on that account. There is nothing
common place in either matter or
method. He administered the rite of
confirmation to class ofseven pers sons
and afterward celebrated the sacra-
ment of the holy communion. In the
evening he addressed the young peoples
meeting, and he fairly charmed all
who heard him. He has way of gett-
ing very close to the young people,
who will never forget his address.

The walls of the newly erected Ro-
man Catholic church at Long Prairie
are cracked. The Argus says The
crack in the brick is nearly an inch
wide at its widest part and extends
from the corniee to the bottom
of the basement wall. The big
arch at the back end is badly cracked
also. IF the cracks do not open any
further than they are now it will
amount to nothing further than spoil
ing the appearance a little. but it is
feared that the weight of the immense
structure will be too much for that

The Betrayer Of General Maceo
Given a Political Place.
Has Received the Appointment Of Mayor Of
Bejucal, Havana Province.
Havana Newspapers Comment
With Sorrowful Utterance
Upon the Death Of Lieutenant-
Colonel Ruiz at the Hands of
Cuban Insurgents.

HAVANA, Dec. 20.-Dr. Zertucha,
who was the physician of the late Cen
eral Maceo, has been appointed Mayor
of Bejucal, this province.
Zertucha has belonged in his day to
all the political parties in Cuba At
one time he was a bandit in the Vuelta
Aba1o, and his record was very dis
credtable. 1t was quite inexplicable
to the friends of Maceo that he kept the
physician on his staff for SO long a
period, notwithstanding the warnings
given him Maceo used to say that Ter
tucha fault was his drinking habit.
At the time the famous Cuban COM
manGtr was killed Zertucha was charg-
ed with leading him and his party into
the fatal ambush, but he issued long
statement, in which he tried to show
that Maceo met his death in battle in
the usual way. Zertucha also bitterly
assailed the honor of the Cuban lead
erS.
After the killing of Maceo the dis
honored physician was allowed to go
free by the Spaniards, and it was said,
and generally believed, that his pock-
cts were well lined with Spanish gold.

Bishop Emard Describes His Visit
to the Vatican

NEW YORK, Dec. 20-Bishop Emard
of valleyield. Province of Quebec. who
arrived here on the La Norrnandie from
Havre to-day, described his visit to
Pope Leo.
THE Pope is in excellent health" he
said IT had an audience of an hour
and ten minutes with him, and his VI
vacity was as great as ever He asked
questions necessarily. He seems to
know everybody everywhere. and fol-
lows the events of the world with avid
ity''
If the Pope discussed with Bishop
Emard the Manitoba school question
and other questions affecting the State
and church in Canada. the Bishop was
careful not to reveal the fact.

The Commissioner believed that the
head of the bureau was in the best
qualified position to pass upon the eff
cheney of a clerk, and that he ought
not TO be hampered in removing clerk
for inefficiency. If permitted to do so he
could remove at least 100 clerks from
his Office without affecting the eff
cheney of the force.
He thought it would be desirable to
have definite tenure of Office not ex-
ceeding ten years, so that every year
about 10 per cent. of new blood could
be infused into the force. This would
do away with the abuses resulting from
some clerks remaining in office too long.
The Commissioner thought some re-
form would have to be enacted, or the
country would have the inf1iction of a
civil pension list. He believed it was
a mistake to include in the classified
service the special examiners, medical
boards, chiefs of divisions. and all 9TH
ers receiving salaries exceeding 81, 400.
