When the Kentmere monastery was
erected by Bishop Curtis from the
money Of a daughter of George Adele,
owner of the Baltimore Sun, it was
said that the young woman, who is
now confined within the monastery
walls, left $4,000 with Bishop Curtis,
with the understanding that after her
death the money was to be used for
the erection of a cathedral, which
should stand as a monument to her
father. Rumor had II wrong, as the
money which Miss Abele gave to
Bishop Curtis was to be used in the
erection Of a Kentmere cloister. Il
has been said that the buildings of the
convent cost about $4,000. Bishop
Curtis denied on several occasions that
Miss Adele gave MIN $780, 900 with
which TO build a church. Wilmington
former bishop has been censured sew
eral times for putting so much money
i'm the construction Of the cloister. when
the city needed a cathedral Bishop
Curtis, however, was not in a position
to use Miss Abele's money as he de-
sired as the money was given to build
the nunnery

The first official orders for repairs to
a Catholic church in this diocese, given
by Bishop Monaghan, were those for
st. Pauls r. c. Church, at Fourth and
! jackson streets. The improvements
have only been made recently, and
Bishop Monaghan evinced great inter
est in the progress OF the work. When
the church had been finished It was
hinted that Bishop Monaghan was to
remove the episcopal seat from St
| Peters to ST. Pauls, as the latter
church and its surroundings were more
to the bishops liking. F'ather Fallon
told an Evening Journal man that he
had invited Bishcp Monaghan to take
up his residence at st. Paul's, but the
invitation was declined on the grounds
that as the episcopal seat was at st
Peters it could not be remove,
therefrom unless decree from ROm'
were secured When the seat Of q bishOl
is to be changed q formal request mus
be made to the Pope. Bishop Mona
CHAN declined to do this owing to hi
desire to build a cathedral.
An Evening Journal man called O.
the residence of Bishop Monaghan las
night and was informed that the bishol
was out of the city. When Vicar-Gen
eral Lyons was seen he said that tn
bishop was interested in the move
ment, but funds were lacking ''
