Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Oct. 29-According to the
testimony of Baroness Won Schaezler in
divorce proceedings before Judge Chy-
traus today, her husband made his
Newfoundland dog his companion at
the table instead Of the baroness and
made her wait on the dog as well as
upon the master before she ate. She
said:
Though he was a baron, we only
had small kitchen table from which
to eat. The baron sat the dog in one
chair and sat in the other himself and
they had their meals together. First
the baron would take bite and then
feed some to the dog, while I had to
wait on them. When suggested that
it was my place at the table the dog
was taking and that the dogs place
was in the wood shed, he declared that
the house was good enough for the dog
and that the wood shed might be good
enough for other people,"
Baron Won Schaezleri and his wife
were married in Davenport, her home

between death and various forms of
unconsciousness.
With regard to the resurrection, the

o'GoRMAN COMES HERE;
BIsHoPRIc FOR HEBRON
This Is the Programme Laid Out by an
EccIesiastic Who Is in Touch With
the Powers - Says Positively the
Changes May Be Looked for-Arch-
bishop Ireland Gives Dinner.

"The report of the impending selec-
ton of Archbishop Ireland to fill the
vacancy in the archdiocese of Chicago
is true. I might add that Bishop Thom-
| as zO'Gorman, of Sioux Falls, will be
appointed to succeed him. and that
Rev. P. r. Heffron, president of the ST.
PauPs seminary, will be elevated to-the
bishopric to succeed Bishop O'Gorman."
This statement was made last even
ing by a member of the archbishop's-
official family, a man reputed to be
near friend to the archbishop and in
touch with the present situation. He
was a guest last night at the informal
dinner at the archepiscopal residence
attended by several archbishops, half
dozen bishops nnd number of the
lesser clergy. The dinner was in honor
of the presence here, in connection with
the conservation of Bishops Stariha
and Keane, of a number of high clergy
men naturally interested in the selec-
ton of the successor of Archbishop
Feehan, of Chicago and in the possible
changes the selection of Archbishop
Ireland would make in the ST. Paul
diocese.
Regarded as Settled.
"It may be regarded as settled that
Archbishop Ireland will be called to
Chicago, he continued "by the congre-
cation of the propaganda which meets
in Rome during December. I do not
think that the archbishop desires to
go, but it is larger field for the rare
talent and great ability whil n he has
shown in his work here. TIE Chicago
diocese is four times the size of ST.
Paul, having Catholic population of
nearly million people.
I'm the event Of his selection" this
in reply to a question, "the choice Of
his successor is of great Importance.
There is a wide field Of choice, but
Bishop O'Gorsnan, of Sioux Falls, bish-
op of South Dakota, who is next in line,
will be the choice. He is regarded as
the logical successor and is a man who
has proved himself in his present field.
Archbishop j. j. Keane, of Dubuque,
has been mentioned as a probable
choice, but his archdiocese included
nearly the whole of Iowa and is more
important in resources and extent Of
population than that of ST. Paul.
DR.. Heffron Is in Line.
"Rev P. r. Heffron D. D., rector of
| st. Pauls seminary, is in line for pro-
motion to the succession of Bishop

and in point of ability he is logically
