At the end of the first quarter, how

most satisfactory way. According TO

gave up his diocese to become rector
Of the Catholic University, il looked as
if he had retired from the race perma-
nently, and interest in the careers OF the
rivals decreased. There was little ex-
from Rome that Bishop Kain had been

Candidates for the Red Hat.
The question now engrossing thesat-
tention and interest of friends of The
two prelates is, Who will first wear the

will be watched with as much interest

~ through the many events which
took place last week relative TO
the Catholic Church in America
q peculiar coincidence regarding two Of
the distinguished prelates Of the church
has been recalled.
At the meetings Of the American hier-
arcby which occurred last Thursday at
the Catholic University one Of the most
prominent figures was Archbishop
Kesae. Of Dubuque. Iowa. first rector of
the university at BrookIaud and one Of
the most popular men IN Catholic cir
eles Of america. The fact that the
Archbishop-s name is pronounced
kane instead OF keen" has occa-
stoned much confusion in view Of the
fact that there IS another Archbishop

After delay of several months
cable dispatches came from Rome an
nouncing, according to some papers, that
the Rev. John Joseph Kahn had been ap-
pointed bishop of Wheeling and. acz
cording to others, that the Rev. John
Joseph Keane had been chosen. The
odds were still TO 1 that it was
Keane, first; but when the official
papers reached Baltimore, it was found
that the Rev. John Joseph Kahn Of HaT-
per's Ferry was to be the new bishop
of Wheeling.
It was a shock to the old classmates
Of the rivals. The positions held for
twenty years OF more were reversed.
-.Kain second" had become Kahn first. -
and 'eKeane first" had become 'Keane
second.
After the first surprise. the question
was generaI-wiI Keane yet pass the
new bishop? A few years later the ques-
ton was answered, in part, by the an
nouncement from Rome that Father
Keaue had been appointed bishop OF

Virginia Drew Trescott, who is
great favorite with the theatre
goers, has created the role OF
"Satania." She will appear in
this city with her own company,
at the opera house, on Saturday
night, Oct. "a.
Miss Trescott is a remarkably
handsome woman, the possessor
of a beautiful voice, which she
handles with consumate skill.
Her queenly bearing makes her
the centre of attraction during
the scenes which afford spIen-
did opportunity to display her
talents Miss Trescott has con-
scientiousness and ardent enthu-
siasm and she is never SO happy
as when she is doing a benevo-
lent action. On account of ex-
ceptional gifts and admirable
qualities as a woman, the young
actress is indeed general favor
ite, loved and admired wherever
she has appeared. As "Satania
she has a role for which she is
eminently fitted, and having been
a leader of society she is perfect
" fitted for the drawing room
scenes.
