NEW YORK, July 8.-As memorial
to her deceased brother, Mrs. Ann
Walsh, of Brooklyn, has Just establish
ed fund of $45O,OOO for the education
! of candidates for the Catholic priest
hood in the poorer dioceses in the
United States and elsewhere. The fund
has been incorporated under the laws
of this state, with the Rev. John Nc
Qu1rk, ID. D., Ii. D., as president and
treasurer.
Some time ago Mrs. Walsh decided
that she wanted to give a munificent
sum to aid in the education of ecclesf-
| astical students, and with that purpose
in view she sought the advice of
trusted friend, the Rev. DR.. John Nc
Quirk, rector of st. Pauls church, in
Harlem. While Mrs Walsh knew that
in many dioceses students in theologi-
cal seminaries were sufficiently pro-
vided for by annual collections and in
other ways, DR.. McQuirl1 pointed out
to her that throughout the United
States, Mexico and other countries
there were many dioceses without the
means of carrying on the necessary
studies of young men in the course of
divinity.
Mrs. Walsh knew that to meet mere
living demands has always been
problem difficult of solution for nu-
merous college students with capacity
to engage in business enployments
Candidates for the priesthood, I'M
able to do the work of ordinary posi-
tons, have labored under a double
burden. Mrs. Walsh realized that the
benefit of the fund should reach be-
| yond local needs and that the poorer
dioceses, unable to bear the expenses
| OF the maintenance and tuition of their
seminarians, should be considered as
exclusively entitled to the funds bene-
! fits. She saw that her intention could
! best be served, not by investing any
| portion OF the money in a new build
| ing and nominating more professors
! and tutors, but in paying the expenses
| of students in the institutions already
| open.
TO this end Mrs. Walsh determined
| that the fund should be devoted to the
education of such aspirants to the
| priesthood as the bishops Of the do
cese should name, and that it's help
should extend to the completion Of the
entire theological course to their ordi-
nation, thus actually founding numer-
| Gus scholarships in many seminaries.
] Mrs. Walsh has generously aided the
| Catholic church before. In 1896 she
erected, at cost Of 100000, a build
| ing called the McCaddin Memorial,
which she gave to the Church of Saints
| Peter and Paul, to be used as a lee
| ture hall and for other purposes con-
nected with the church.
! Besides this she has contributed sew
! eral hundred thousand dollars to char
| ity.
| Two Unions Want Same Work.
Isaac S. Rossell, the contractor, who
erected the Hall of Fame, is awaiting
| the decision of the supreme court as to

east corner Of Forty seventh street
and Filth avenue, the old home of Miss
| Helen M. Gould, and meanwhile the
I work is at a standstill.
| Bossel gave the job to the Stone
| Cleaners and Pointers union. Then he
| was threatened by a delegate of the
| Derrick Mems, Riggers' and Pointers
union with a general strike if he did
not employ their men. Finally the
| first union applied to Justice uiegerich.
