The New York Freeman's Journal, an
authority on Catholic church matters, has
this to say as to the successor to the de-
ceased Archbishop Jansen, of the diocese
of New Orleans, and the rumor that the
vacancy will be filled at Rome by the
selection of Archbishop P. l.. Chapelle, of
the Santa Fe archdiocese: GAS matters
stand now, it is understood that Arch.
bishop Chapelle of Santa Fe, has been
designated by the ballots of the bishop
and clergy as most desired for the posi-
tion. There is no likelihood that Arch
bishop Kesne's name will be inter ected
into the matter"
A most delightful evening was enjoyed
on Thursday at Adams hall by the appre-
ciative audience attending Miss Guilt
ford's first "Shaksperian Recital" The
readers perfect command of voice and
manner was sufficient to people the stage
with the imaginary company needed by
the action of the play. HERDS woes, the
generous pionship of her cousin
Beatrice, Olaudios creduilty and Bene-
dots Inconsistency, were surprisingly
well and forcibly depicted, and, although
time did not permit the play to be given
in it's entirety, the selections we're 80 we'll
chosen that the narrative was sufficiently
presented, evidently as much to the sat
isfaction of the reader as of her hearers.
The play for next Thursday, 22nd inst.
will be Romeo and Juliet.
Professor A. A. Heller, as represe nta-
tive of the University of Minnesota, at
Minneapolis, of which Professor Cyrus
Northrup, we'll and favorably known in
Santa Fe, is president, has been in the
territory for over two months collecting
botanical specimens and investigating
the fauna of New Mexico. He has found
over $50 different species of plants, some
of them very rare and of great interest
to botanists. So far as known this is
the first attempt at Systematically maxi
ing collection of plants, flowers and
shrubs growing in New Mexico during
the past so years. Some very valuable
finds and discoveries were made. The
plants were carefully gathered, dried,
fixed up, cased and packed and sent to
the University of Minnesota for exhibi
ton and to be placed in cases for preser-
walton. Over 5000 specimens have been
gathered and preserved and sent on.
Professor Heller is accompanied by his
wife who is also skilled botanist and
very enthusiastic in this work. They
leave tonight, having finished their work,
to visit friends in Pennsylvania and New
York, after which the professor will re-
sume his duties at the University of
Minnesota.
