1t will interest all Maine Catholics
to know that Mgr. VIM. II. O'Conneils
election as bishop of Portland by the
cardinals of the sacred congregation OF
propaganda fde was unanimous; in
deed it may be described as by accia-
nation. During the meeting at Whlca
his election was decided several car
dinals pronounced warm eulogies on
him and on his work as rector of the
American college in Rome, adding mat
their only regret was his proXimate
departure from Rome. This apprecia-
ton Of his work by those whose po-
sition enables them to judge of it with
knowledge and authority Is Mgr
O'Connell's highest satisfaction ana
most complete reward. Father OCon-
nelFs career has been noteworthy. In
November. 1895. when the Rev. Will
liam II. OConnell was in his 3.th year.
he was chosen as a rector of the college
in which he himself had made his
studies in Rome. This was testimony
to the high opinion in which he was
neld by his ecclesiastical superiors
both in the United States and in Rome.
At the period of his election he was
a harn- working priest in the church OF
ST. Joseph. Chambers street Boston.
In the month of January of the fol-
lowing year. 1896. he entered upon mis-
duties as rector of the American col
lege in Rome. Since he took charge
Of this institution its progress has been
most satisfactory Mgr. O'Cornell
was in Rome but little over year
when Leo Mi. appointed him to the
dignity of domestic prelate. with the
title of monsgnor and the privilege OF
assisting at and taking part in the
grand ceremonies which are held from
time to time in the Vatican or in ST
Peters.
