100000 CATHOLIC
IN new YORK DIOCESE

New York, June IA cable to
the Sun from Rome says: It has been
decided to defer until November the
appointment OF the Archbishop OF New
York. Bishop Mcdonald of Brooklyn
appears to have been dropped. in con-
sequence OF representations from the
American Episcopate that he is not a
desirable successor to the late Arch
bishop Corrigan. The names of three
candidates are now before the Pope.
They are Coadjutor Bishop Farley,
Monsignor Mooney and Father Cotton.
The appointment is regarded at the
Vatican as one of exceptional import
ance, as the new Archbishop will be
simultaneously elevated TO the Cabin
alate, in accordance with opinions re-
Gently expressed by the Pope, that all
great metropolitan diocese ought to be
governed by a Cardinal. The Pope, on
one occasion, in conversation with sew
eral members of the sacred college who
objected to giving the United States
more than one Cardinal, said that the
New York diocese contains over 3,OOO,-
900 Catholics, and was, therefore, tho
most populous diocese in the world.
The Suns correspondent has good
reasons for predicting that before the
end of the year the United States will
have three Cardinals,

A handsome carriage, drawn by two
powerful black horses, passed at a

Sir +. Gumber Lodaston had a large
house on the river not far from the
town. The Lodastons entertained a
good deal, and the officers of the gar.

Sir Curtis Manilwell drifted over like
the rest to Cagswarden. There he
found Melrose quite the friend OF the

Sir Curtis Manilwell promptly fell
in love with Milly, and as the little
beauty was also attracted by the tall,
handsome Guardsman, the course Of
true love promised to run exceedingly
smooth. Sir Curtis was an excellent
match, and he had reached the point
at which the question of proposing to
Milly Lodaston was one merely of op.

they were obvious to every one except
the person most interested. Being in

the Broad Street Station. recently
"Will you kindly tell me when the next
train goes?"
THE next train leaves at 11:4O," was
the reply.
And when does it reach Lancaster"
asked the old woman.
IT'S a two-hour express; gets there
at 40"
Goodness me! I don't like to travel
so fast. I'm afraid of accidents"
No danger at all, madam, assure
you"
But surely you have slower trains. "
"Oh, yes; there's one at 1910 that
