The managers of an underwriting syndi-
cate In carrying out this part of the
programme they proceed to lay the mat

STEPHAN MAY RESIGN.
A Change in the Catholic Indian
Bureau Expected.

The Very Reverend William H.
Ketchum, of the See of Oklahoma, who re-
sides in the Indian Territory, but is visit
ing Washington on official business, will
probably be appointed in January as head
of the Catholic Indian Bureau OF the
United States. He viii succeed the ven-
cradle Monsignor Thomas Stephan, who
has governed the bureau here for many
years, having taken the late DR.. ]. B. a.
Brouillet's place after that priest died, in
1888. By reason of feeble health and ad-
vanced age Monsignor stephan deems it
expedient to resign his exacting duties
into younger hands, and it is stated that
one OF the objects which prompted him
to visit Europe at the present time was
to acquaint Pope Leo with the need of a
youthful priest as head of the American
missions.
He is now over seventy years of age,
and has been in the mission field for half
a century; whereas Father Ketchum, his
prospective successor, is but forty-five
years old Father Ketchum ranks among
the most eloquent orators of the country,
and is likewise priest of marked execu-
tive ability Since coming East, few
days ago, he has called upon President
Mckinley and has also been in conGulta-
tion with Cardinal Gibbons, OF Baltimore /;
Archbishop Corrigan, of New York, and
Archbishop Ryan. of Philadelphia. man
ayers of the National Catholic Bureau.
After Monsignor stephan returns home
next month his plans for the future will
become definitely known, and the indica-
tions are that he will continue as one
of Father Ketchums advisors in mission
ary work.

The French Ambassador at New York
En- Route to Washington.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Jules Cambon.
the French Ambassador to the United
States, arrived here today on La Gas
cogne. With him was NJ Louis Hermite.
who has been in the French diplomatic
service two years, and who comes here
to take the place of VI. Taigny as second
secretary of legation. This is NJ.
Hermite's first assignment abroad, and
he is much pleased that his Government
sent him to the United States.
NJ Cambon was met at the pier by
Lieutenant De Faramond, naval attache
of the French Embassy; Henry Maillard.
Henry Hourd President of the French
Chamber of Commerce, and by the agent
of the French line.

tury pretty soon had not made much Of an
Impression on Paris, and that up to The

HOLY CROSS FATHERS TO MOVE.
To Leave the Monastery at West
minister, Nd, for New York.


NEW YORK, Dec 30.-tt is announced
that the community of celibate priests
known as the Order of the Holy Cross and
formerly residents of this city. but for a
number of years located in Westminster.
Nd, will soon remove from their present
home and re-establish themselves in the
Episcopal diocese of New York, though not
within the corporate bounds Of the city.
This order for long time conducted the
work connected with the Holy Cross Mis-
sion at East Fourth Street and Avenue C..
Subsequently the community secured a
monastery in Westminster. 1t has been
understood, however, that the life of the
members of the order has not been alto
gether happy in their present surround
ings, for Bishop Paret, the Bishop of
Maryland, has disapproved Of their ritual
istic practices and prohibited them from
performing priestly functions within his
Jurisdiction.
For this and other reasons the Fathers
of the Holy Cross have decided to remove
from Maryland and return to the diocese
of New York. The Rev. o. S. Huntington,
the father superior, who is son of the
Rt. Rev. Frederic Dan Huntington, the
Bishop of Central New York, announces
that a plot of land for the new monastery
has already been purchased at West Park,
on the west bank of the Hudson River,
about seventy-five miles from New York.
The community has in hand $4,000 with
which to begin building Plans call for
the erection of buildings TO cost $50, 600.

Last October a cold spell IN Montana Killed

thermometer indicated 20 degrees below zero
The herder was frozen TO death on the prairie
while caring for the sheep, and 1t was three
Jays hefore his fate was known to his en-
pIoyers. Two shepherd dogs were with him when
he died. and one of these stayed with the body
while the other attended to the sheep, lust. as
though the herder had been with him. Inc dog

back again at night, guarding them from wolves
and preventing them from straying of: Neither
