An Official and Authoritative Statement
Concerning the Office.

An Official and Authoritative Statement
Concerning the Office.
Washington, November 1S.-In deny
ing the cablegrams published in a
number of newspapers from Rome re-
garding the striking off of Archbishop
Keane's name from the list of candi-
dates for the archbishopric OF New
Orleans, DR.. Rocker, secretary OF the
papal delegation, said to-day the re-
port doubtless originated with Mr..
Keane?s enemies at Rome.
Contrary to the circulated reports,
Dr. Rocker said, when the names were
seen by Archbishop Keane, he de-
clined to allow the use Of his and him
self struck it off the list.
"The choice for the post" said DR..
Rocker, ''lies between Bishop Meas, OF
Covington, KY, and Bishop Heslin,
of Natchez, Miss. Unless there is a
special meeting at Rome between now
and the last of the month, and no in
formation of such an intention to hold
one has been received In this country,
the chances are that the vacant see
will not be filled before the middle of
December"

About Assembly Week at Good Will Farm

The Journal has received from Rev.
A. T. Dunn of Waterville, a neat little
pamphlet brimful of information and
interest to those who may intend to be
present at the boys assembly, which
will be held at The Pines, Good VIII
Farm East Fairfield, July % to Aug.
t. This will be the fifth annual assem-
bly, all of which have been very pros
fitable and growing in interest and in
fiuence. We will quote from the
words of one of the visitors at the last
assembly: He would be queer
person who could spend assembly week
at Good VIII Farm and come away
without a great enthusiasm for the
wonderful institution 1t is no place for
the selfish lover of mere pleasure. But
if one wishes to meet noted men. to
hear interesting talks and addresses,
to form delightful and lasting acquain
tances. to note the progress of great
educational and religious plan, to en-
joy sincerely a social time. to come into
contact with a large number of boys, To
help others and to receive others help.
let him spend assembly week at Good
Will Farm" 1t is gratifying to all the
hosts of friends of the school that the
month which Mr.. Hinckley has spent
in the South has afforded him the rest
he so much needed after his indefatg-
able labors in behalf of this noble work.
