ST. JOHNS NEW RECTOR.
vestry Holds Meeting, but Declines to
Announce Selection.

The vestry of St Johns Protestant Epis-
copal Church met yesterday TO consid-
er the question of a successor of the Rev.
Alexander Mackay-Smith, lately elevated
TO the coadjutor bishopric of Pennsylvania.
Most of the members of the ruling body
of the parish were in attendance.
1t was decided that the closest silence
should be maintained regarding the DELHI
erations of the vestry on the selection of
new rector. Despite this, however, ii is
understood that the vestry is practically
agreed upon one prominent preacher. No
tender Of the place has yet been made,
however. and Bishop Satterlee will be
consulted by the vestry before ii is. The
canons of the church provide that the ves-
try shall select a man subject to the ap-
proval of the bishop
The clergyman to whom indications now
point most favorably is said to be New
Englander OF doctrine tending somewhat
toward the low church. He is also said
to have attained such prominence that he
will in no wise be stepping into place too
large for him should the pulpit of St
Johns be offered to him, and he should
acceot.
Just how soon decision will be reached
is not certain, but it will probably be
within two weeks. At the expiration of
that time the vestry will be about ready
TO separate for the summer. and ii is ad-
visable that anyone vino is selected should
be Invited before the summer season in
order that he may SO arrange his affairs
as TO be able to enter upon his parochial

been asked to assist in the work of the
archdiocese during Archbishop Corrigan's
convalescence. and it is not expected that
there will be any change in plans on ac-
count of the archbishop's death.

Selection of Names.
The councillors, the vicar generals, and
fifteen irremovable rectors Of the arch
diocese meet and select three names. The
three candidates are known as dignissi-
mus, digniori. and dignus. Next the seven
bishops of the archdiocese, which includes
New York and New Jersey, select three
names. They have the names already Sc

All of the selected names then go TO

The archbishop was always one of the
busiest men in New York, but he found

hours to study. He was deeply interested
in missionary work in this country. and
was president of the Catholic Missionary
Union, an incorporated body, which main
tains many missionaries to nom Catholics
in various parts of the United States.
He was also interested in the project TO
found here seminary for the special ed
ucation of missionaries, and for the train
ing of priests for work in our insular pos
sessions.
During his episcopacy ne made many
trips TO Rome. and was regarded with
marked favor by the Vatican authorities
He was especially beloved by the Pope,
who showed him many marks of his es-
pecial favor. Time and again rumors came
across the water that he was to be raised
TO the rank of cardinal, and there is lit
tie doubt the Pope intended that honor for
him had not death cut short the arch
bishops career.

The metropolitan see of New York, to
which Archbishop Corrigan succeeded, not
only includes the ecclesiastical province
OF New York, but the dioceses Of Brook
lyn. Albany. Buffalo, Ogdensburg. Roches-
ter, Syracuse, Newark. and Trenton.
Probably the most stirring events in the
archbishop's ecclesiastical career centcred
about the McGiynn controversy, which
caused widespread excitement among Ro-
man Catholics of this country, particular
ly those living in the city of New York.
In May, 1895. there was a great celebra-
tion here on the twenty-fifth anniversary
OF the archbshop's episcopacy. After the
jubilee exercises in st. Patrick's cathe-
dral. the citizens of New York, without
regard to creed. gathered In vast num-
bers at the Metropolitan Opera House to
do him honor Many of the foremost men
of the country were present and among
the speakers were Elihu Root, Elbridge
T. Gerry. Jnsticc Joseph F. Daily and
Bourke Cochran. AT the celebration a
mortgage for s250O00 on the Dunwoodie
Seminary, which was built through the
efforts CT Archbishop Corrigan, was cam
celed.
Under the administration of Archbishop
Corrigan the archdiocese of New York
increased tremendously in wealth and i'm

that in 1895 1t was found necessary to
provide him with an assistant, and Vicar
General John NJ. Farley was appointed
auxiliary bishop by the Pope. The arch

His Career in the Church.
Michael Augustine Corrigan, successor
of Cardinal McCloskey as head of the
great archdiocese of New York, was the
youngest wearer Of the purple when he
was consecrated Bishop of Newark in
1873. He was born in that city sixty-two
years ago. At the wish of his mother he
was sent to st. Mary's College at Will
mington, Del, then conducted by Vicar
General Reilly. From there he went to
st. Mary's College at Emmetsburg. Nd.
and ut once took a leading place in his
classes. In his junior year he made n
tour OF Europe with his sister. whose in
fluence had much to do with his choice
of the priesthood as vocation.
He was graduated in 1889 and soon after
he sailed for Europe again with the in
tention of entering the North American
College at Rome to study for the priest
hood. He was one OF the twelve students
who entered when the college was opened

His progress was so rapid that as soon
as the doors were thrown open he won a
number of medals in competition. free

Irish and Greek colleges.
He was ordained by Cardinal Patvizi In
the Lateran Basilica on September 10,
1863. year before the close of his theo-
logical studies. In 1864 the degree OF
doctor of divinity was conferred upon
him. When he returned to his native
land n few months later Archbishop James
Roosevelt Bayley, then bishop of Newark.
appointed him professor of dogmatic
theology and sacred scripture at Seton
Hall College.
Bishop Coadjutor.
Soon after he was made vice president
of the college, and in 1853 he succeeded
Bishop McQuaid as president. In March,
1873, he was made bishop of Newark upon
the recommendation of Bishop Bayley
who had been made archbishop and trans
ferred to the See of Baltimore.
In September, 1880, Pope Leo elevated
Bishop Corrigan to the office of coadjutor
archbishop OF the archdiocese OF New
York, with the right Of succession In the
archiepiscopate to Cardinal McClosky.

Crape-Nuts Food Gave the Strength.


1t is a good thing to know of food that
will add volumes to ones strength. for
the strong can do things and accomplish
work in this world while the weak must
stand to one side.
A woman in Toronto writes: 81 was in
very poor health long time and got so
weak and run down that | would often
stop at the foot of the stairs and wonder
how ! could get to the top.
Il began using GrapeNuts and in a
very short time that weak. broken down
feeling entirely disappeared. 1 had form
erly been forced to give up my breakfasts
in order to give my stomach a rest. but
when got hold of Grapefruit l could
eat breakfast for the food, seemed to
help digest other foods, and soon | began
to gain in weight and strength.
II regularly use fruit and Grape Nuts
for breakfast and can work harder and

Defends Governor Taft.

/ DclCuQS JUstluUI ldll-
Mr.. Lodge went on to defend Governor
Taft from the charge of evasiveness made
against him by Mr.. Patterson, and he eu-
| logized Governor Taft and his substitute,
Governor Wright. Are they not he
asked, honorable men? Do they not
stand high in this community? Is there
one who knows them who does not re-
| gard them as upright, eminent men? Are
we to be told that we cannot trust them
with their public duty
IF not there is no man in the length
and breadth of the United States ht TO
be trusted.
At this point Mr.. Lodge brought In Mr.
Rawlins' historical references, in one OF
which Copernicus was referred TO as one
who had been tortured to death. MIR.
Lodge said that the Senator from Utah
had probably meant Calico. but Calico
had recanted and lived ten years longer.
So that IL was neither Copernicus nor
Calico, but must have been some other
tortured astronomer. tLaughter.l
The Democratic party he said, had
been as slow to learn as the Roman Curia
of the sixteenth century, that the world
moves. lRenewed laughter.l
Coming TO the question Of the water
cure torture. Mr.. Lodge expressed his bit
ter regret that any American officer or
soldier should ever torture anyone, or
that any order should ever be issued
which on its face seemed -evolting.
But" said he. there must be some
reason for IL. Only last night ! heard CT
three of our men having been captured
and carried TO a ncighboring town. They
were stripped naked and were told that
II they cried. Long live the Philippine
republic,' they might run away as they
were into the bush. One of the three
stood up there naked in the midst Of
that hostile crowd. and cried. Long live
America"
They tied him TO a tree. and then
women and children stoned him TO death.
The other two lost heart and cried Long
live the Philippine republic but they
were cut to death with bolos. Do you
wonder that the American soldiers after
that went into battle with cries for ven
gcance? ] am not here to excuse torture
or cruelty, but cannot condemn human
nature in an American soldier under such
as those"
Mr.. Lodge repelled the charge of saw
agery made against General Chaffee and
paid high tribute to that officer He re-
called his services in China where the |
American troops went TO save the lega- |
tions
when all the commanders were debat- !
ing" said Mr.. Lodge, "as TO whether |
they should wait a month before starting, /
chaffee stood up and said, Gentlemen, |
whatever you may do, I march at once |
And the japanese general rose and said |
hat he trusted that the American gem
,ral would permit him to go with them /
And they all went; and history tells the |
rest"
