the term knows its origin.
Even as late as the close of the
eighteenth century the silver coinage of
the United States had not superseded
the Spanish 'milled' dollar in the west

ARCHBISHOP GLENNON.
| The New Metropolitan Of st. Louis q
| Young and Vigorous Prelate.

The New Metropolitan of St. Louis q
Young and Vigorous Prelate.
St. Louis. Oct. 14.-Most Rev. John
Joseph Glennon, who becomes arch
bishop of the diocese Of st. Louis fol-
lowing the death of Archbishop Kain,
is one of the most interesting figures
in the Roman Catholic church in
America.
Although only Al years old, his sue
cess in his chosen field has been little
short of remarkable.
He will be the youngest archbishop
on the continent of North America. and
one of the youngest, If not the young
est, in the world.
His youth, his perfect health and his
ability make him a formidable candi-
date for still higher honors in the
hierarchy.
Bishop Glenn0n was born in County
Meath, Ireland, of aristOcratic Irish
parents. He was educated at All Hal
lows college, Dublin university, and
came to this country 20 years ago.
He worked under Bishop Hogan of
Kansas City for one year, when he was
admitted to the priesthood and made
assistant to Father Dunn, then pastor
of st. Patrick's church.
In 1887, three years after his admis-
sion to the priesthood, Bishop Glen
non, in order to better acquaint himself
with his duties as prelate of the
church, made a tour of Europe. He
made an extended visit in Rome, was
received by Pope Leo, and when he re-
turned to this country, one year later,
he was made assistant pastor of the
cathedral Parish in Kansas City.
From this position he was elevated
to the pastorate, then to the station of
vicar general, and later coadjutor to
Bishop Hogan, which Office he neld
when selected as coadjutor to Arch
| bishop kain.
Catholic bishops are always assigned,
in theory to some diocese within the
original church, and it is interesting
to note that Bishop Glennon's diocese
includes the site Of the ancient city OF
Troy.

No Steps Left Cntaken.
Admiral Alexieff, speaking to an
American official. said:
War would be great calamity.
Here we believe that the best way to
prevent it would be to strengthen our
selves as much as possible. Therefore,
we have left no steps untaken for that
purpose
The details of the maneuvers were
kept secret. but the press correspond
.ent learned that the landing forces at
Talien-Wan bay were repulsed. 1t is
reported that the attacking army broke
through Port Arthur's defenses at three
points. Two battleships and two cruis-
ers are on their way here from Rus
sia. When they arrive, Russia's naval
force on this station will be stronger
than Japan's, according to the views
of the Russian officers.
Anticipation mt Fever Heat.
Anticipation of war is at fever heat
in the army and navy, but this is based
entirely on the activity of the prepac-

overawed by the demonstration OF Rus

No steps towards the evacuation of
Manchuria have been taken. The Of

will be taken.
