 The Most Rev Michael Augustine Corrigan, D. D., was born at Newark, N. J., in 1S4O His parents came from Leinster, Ireland. After having been graduated from the schools of his na- tive place he was sent to St. Mary's college in Emmitsburg, Md.
 After leaving St. Mary's in 1859, hav- ing made brilliant record as a stu dent, he went to Europe to take holy orders. In Rome he was one of the thir- teen students who registered in the American college there when it was opened. He devoted two years to the preliminary studies of the college and then began the study of theology.
 Although ordained priest by Cardi- nal Patrizi in the Lateran basilica in 1863, he remained in the American col lege another year and won the degree of doctor of divinity. Dr. Corrigan then sailed for home and reported on his arrival to Bishop Bayley in Newark, who at once assigned him to the pro- fessorship of dogmatic theology and sa- cred Scripture as well as to the direct orship of Seton Hall college. Later the Rev. Father Corrigan became vice president of the college and when only twenty-eight years old became presi- dent of that institution.
 When Bishop Bayley visited Rome in 1870, Dr. Corrigan became the ad- ministrator and vicar general of New ark. He was consecrated bishop by Cardinal McCloskey on May 4, 1873, and remained in charge of the diocese of Newark for seven years. In that time he consecrated forty-two new churches, among them the cathedral in Newark. Besides these achieve ments, he established many religious communities and founded home for erring women and reformatory for boys.
 Owing to his successful administra- ton of his diocese Dr. Corrigan was selected to be coadjutor of Cardinal McCloskey. On Oct. l, 1880, he was raised to the archiepiscopal see of Pc tra and made coadjutor, with the right of succession. When Cardinal McClos- key died, Archbishop Corrigan suc- ceeded to the see of New York.

JUDGE PEASLEY DEPENDED.
Claimed To Be Visiting in Waterbury When Ansonia Store Was Burned.

Claimed To Be Visiting in Waterbury
 When Ansonia Store Was Burned.
 Michael Zuk of Ansonia claims to have been visiting friends here Easter Saturday night. He is on trial before the city court in Ansonia charged with setting fire to his store on Jer- sey street Easter Sunday morning. Judge Peasley defended him yester- day. There is no question about the store being set on fire and but for the time the fire was started the prem ises would certainly have been de- stroyed. Near by the store is a church. The congregation of this church was holding an early Easter morning service and as the people were leaving for home the fire burst out in the store. Someone broke in a window and soon the fire was ex- tinguished. Investigation showed that every inch of the interior of the store was saturated with kerosene and loose papers were strewn around. Zuk's defense is that he was visiting friends on North Riverside street when the fire started. The case was continued.

Women's Federation Votes to Admit
 White Members Only.

 White Members Only.
 LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 6.--After two hours of discussion of the question of admission of colored women into the Women's federation the anticolor- ed women won the day when the con yention overwhelmingly voted to ac- cept what is known as the compromise amendment agreed upon in New York several weeks ago.
 Upon the opening day of the con- vention it was evident that spirit of tolerance would rule. There was ab- solutely no bitterness in the prelinina- ry talk outside the convention hall. In the morning there was suppressed excitement during the consideration of the charter, which came up first, and when Mrs. A. O. Granger, presi- dent of the Georgia federation, moved that sections and of article 2, parts of the proposed amendment, be made the first order of business every one knew the battle was on.
 When points of order and interroga- ton points flew thick and fast, Mrs. Lowe retired from the chair tempora- rily, calling Mrs. Denison to preside.
 The color discussion has entirely overshadowcd everything else, but election runors are flying fast There seems to be q feeling that the Decker forces are gaining ground. A Colorado woman said that seventeen states have already announced their intention of voting for her for president The ru- nor that Mrs. Denison has withdrawn from the race was promptly denied by her
