Win Miss w. C. T. U.
Candies and Tracts.

At meeting of the Jersey City Heights
Z Woman's Christian Temperance Union
held at The home of Mrs. l.. A. Opdyke,
Thursday, it was decided to abandon the
annual "trip to the Penitentiary at Snake
Hill, as some of the white ribboners are
afraid of the smallpox. The ladies will
pay a visit to Ellis Island instead. This
means that the inmates of the Peniten-
tiary, Alinshouse ard Insane Asylum will
miss their yearly treat of cakes, candies
and tracts Faithfully every years have
these good women hired stage and laden
with the good things of earth and heaven,
travelled Snake Hillward to make glad the
hearts Of outlaw and lunatic.
The "Trip to Ellis Island is for the pur-
pose of studying the liquor situation in
that part OF the country and will be tax
en- on June r. The ladies will meet at the
Barge Office at noon, when Miss Mary
Orr who has been the w. c. T. q. mis-
sionary on Ellis Island for the past fif-
teen year, will take the party in charge
and show them all that is to be seen.
The union this year has decided to in
troduce into its programme something
heretofore entirely foreign to its system.
out for pleasure only and on June 20
the members will take a trip ito Midland
Beach for the day. When first suggested
some of the ladies' were inclined to think
this a little too frivolous for an organiza-
ton of their nature, but Mrs Story, the
President pointed out that "all work ami
io play made Jack a dull boy and that
other organizations which accomplished
the most work were those where an an
nual outing was part of the programme.
So the motion was carried.
AS this was the last meeting for the
year a programme on next years work
was outlined and Mrs. Old, Mrs. Snyder
and Mrs. Chamberlain We're appointed a
committee on topics. The work will in
clude Bible readings, original papers on
sociological subjects and course in par
iiamentary drill. The opening meeting for
1s0g-190S will be held September 10 at the
hone Of Mrs. Pr.c', NJ. Il Clinton avenue,
when officers for the ensuing year will be

NEW VICAR-GEAERAL
Bishop o'connor Appoints Rev.
John A. Sheppard to
the office.

Bishop O'Connor conducted confirmation
services at st. Michaens Catholic Church,
Jersey City. last night, and before aeav-
ing he announced that he had appointed
Rev. John A. Sheppard, rector OF that
church, to be yicarlGenerai of the dio-
cese. and that the approval of the APP
pointment had arrived from Rome yes
terday.
Father Sheppard was born in Ireland
about ffty-one years ago He came 70
this country when mere lad and settled
with his parents in Paterson. He entered
st. Charles College, E.licott CITY, Mary
land in 1851 In 1876 he was ordained
priest. For time he was Chancellor of
the diocese under the late Archbishop
corrigan. who was then Bishop of this
State He was a curate at st. Patrick >
Pro-Cathedral, Newark, until 1852, when
he was paced in charge Of parish at
Dover, and remained there until 1881 when
he became rector of ST. q cho ass Church.
Passaic He remained at ST. Nicholas $
for thirteen years and half, and on
April 6. 1898, came to Jersey City as the
rector Of St Michae's Church. and has
remained there ever since. His stay at
St. M.chael,s has been brilliant and
successful one.
When he took charge of the church
there was standing debt of sl26,09. BY
earnest work he has reduced this debt by
s3e, ,00a, so that now there remains debt
of sS7, 900 at 4 per cent. He has PAID out
in improvements on the church property
about s35, 900. This includes the repainting
and redecorating of the church outside
and inside, and the strengthening OF the
foundation, also the renoyatng of the
rectory. In his time the church organ
has beeen repaired and equipped with
motor power and sixteen stained glass
windows, imported from Munich, and the
gifts Of prominent parishioners, have been
put in pace. The interior decorations OF
the church are probably more elaborate
than those of any church in the diocese.
One Of the features is a copy of the fa-
nous painting in the Sistine Chapel.
Rome. "The Discussion of the Doctrines. =
This picture is the largest painting in
the country. 1t was the work Of three
famous artists.
All the societies of ST. Michael's Church
have been placed on sound footings dur
ing Father Sheppard's rectorship. He re-
iuvenated the parish club. Tho monthly
collections at the church are now three
times what they were when he was first
placed in charge and the annual revenue
has been doubled.
Father Sheppard founded the Sacred
Heart Union when he was curate at st.
Patrick's Pro-Cathedral, Newark. Dur
ing its first years this union gathered a
membership of almost 10000 and today
has a roll of over half a million.
While curete ct the Cathedral. New
ark Father Sheppard received through
the death of stranger Si5 900. His repu-
tation for charity was demonstrated by
the use to which he put his legacy. As
soon as he came into possession of 1t he
divided 1t amongst these institutions: -
ST. Mary's Convent, Newark; St. Michael's S
Paterson. and the St. Vincent de Paul So
ciety of Newark. The latter bequest was
real estate for building home for friend
less boys.
