Washington Catholics VIII Welcome
Cardinal Gibbons in Baltimore.

Representatives of nearly all the local
Catholic parishes met last night at Carroll
Institute Hall to discuss and perfect ar
rangements for participation in the recep-
ton to be rendered his Eminence Cardinal
Gibbons, in Baltimore on Monday after
noon, August &c. The Cardinal is expected
to arrive in New York tomorrow and will
proceed to Baltimore on Monday, reaching
Union Station at 3:l2 p. m.
Ed. J. Hannah, President of Carroll In
stitute, occupied the chair and stated the
object of the meeting. There was some
discussion as to why the meeting had been
called by the laity instead of the clergy.
The Rev. Father Caughey, rector of st.
Stephens Church. and the Rev. Father
Mackin. rector of St Pauls Church, spoke
in favor of the meeting having been called
by the laity and expressed their hearty
support of the movement. After consid-
cradle discussion it was finally decided
that those who desired to join In the re-
cepticn should meet next Monday after
noon at the Baltimore and Ohio depot at
l O'Clock to take the ITO train from there
to Baltimore. DIR. Charles O'Connor made
a motion that the secretary be ordered to
notify the rectors of all local Catholic
churches of the transactions of the meet
ing so that they may announce them at
next Sundays services He also moved
to purchase $50 badges, and that every
man taking part in the reception be re-
quested to wear badge. p J. Haltigan.
