Avenue and Newark Street The man who
lost a wife and his temper is Herman
Asop, clerk. who asserted that the or
phan maid had promised to marry him
long before she ever knew there was a

SBARETTI TO DEPART SOON.
The Bishop of Havana VIII Leave for
Cuba Next Week.

Cuba Next Week.
Right Rev. Donatus Sbarretti, Bishop of
Havana. Cuba, who was consecrated here
at st. Aloysius Church. on February A,
is still at the Papal Legation, with which
he has been connected since 1893. He re-
marked yesterday that just seven years
ago Pope Leo XII appointed him auditor
OF the legation, which was then created.
with Mgr. Francis Satolli. Ambassador, or
nuncio, and Rev. Hector Papi, secretary.
For year they resided at the Catholic
University, but in 1894 the present build
ing was secured, and has since been occu-
pied.
The Bishop feelingly mentioned that he
is the only one Of the original members of
the Legation remaining here Mgr. Satolli
having returned to Rome in October, 1885,
after becoming a Cardinal in Baltimore,
and Father Papi. having Joined the Jesuit
order in Frederick, Md. where he labored
several years. but is a professor at
the great Jesuit seminary of Woodstock,
Howard county, Nd. After SO lengthy
sojourn in this city Bishop Sbarretti
naturally has some reluctance in severing
the ties binding him to the Legation.
The Bishop said he did not seek the office
and accepted ii solely in obedinecc to Pope
Leo. whose friendship he has long en-
jOyed. His immediate predecessor, Bishop
Santander, IS still in Havana acting as ad-
ministrator of the diocese. pending shop
Sbarrettis arrival. He will welcome and
install his successor.
DIR. Santander is a native of Spain like
most Of the Bishops of Havana during the
past four centuries. and it was through his
agency the dust of Columbus was recently
eXhumed from the vaults OF its ancient
cathedral and transported to Sapin for
final sepulture.
Bishop Sbarretti expects TO leave this
city for Havana carly next week, and
will be accompanied by at least one promi-
nent pastor Of this city. who will remain
at the Cuban capital long enough to wit
ness his formal enthrOnement in its cothe-
dral. Neither Archbishop Martfnelli nor
Rev. DR., Rocker will accompany him. The
question of appointing his successor as au-
ditor al the Legation will not be definitely
settled until after his departure.
As regards changes among the clergy at
Havana DIR. SbarTetti says that. knowing
little or nothing about the sees present
condition except from hearsay he is un-
able TO outline his future plans further
than to state that no changes whatever
will be made unless circumstances, as yet
unforeseen, justify them. There are up
ward OF 200 Clargy in the diocese OF Ha-
yana. and its Catholic population is large

support herself.
Contributions have been received al
ready from the Rev. DR.. Greer. OF st. Bar
tholomew's; Mrs. W. ". Shiffen, Mrs. Es-
ther Herman. Mrs. Angus Cameron. and
others. One firm has agreed to furnish
all the doors and window sashes; another
agrees to give the brick for the chlmneys.

peated at Carnegie Hall next month, and
