MAY DIVIDE DIOCESE.
Proposition is Today Being Considered
by Church Authorities at Rome,

'5'oPSs'o' 10 quay 6Sil9 SOHStoSfSo
by Church Authorities at Rome.
Rome, May 2O.-The congregation of
the propaganda is today examining
the proposition to divide the diocese of
Davenport, Iowa, in two. 1t is also
considering the question of establish
ing four new dioceses in various parts
of the west, which would bring the
total number of American dioceses up
from eighty-five to ninety.
In case the additional diocese is es-
tablished in Iowa its see city will in
all probability be Des Moines, and the
state will be divided by line running
east and west, giving the southern part
of the state to Davenport and the nor
them to Des Moines. The division
will not affect the Sioux City diocese,
which is on a par with the Davenport
diocese, although somewhat smaller
in territory. Ottumwa will still re-
main in the Davenport diocese.
E 1t is understood that Bishop Cos
grove, bishop of the Davenport diocese.
is opposed to the division as proposed.
as it will make his territory consider
ably smaller and will probably detract
from the strength and influence of the
Davenport school. However the pro-
position has been agitated in the state
among Catholics for some years, and
it is thought very probable that the
change will be made within short
time.
Election of Bishop.
The question as to who will be the
bishop is already arising in the minds
of Iowa Catholics. The system to be
followed will be for the non-remev-
able rectors and the bishops to vote
for three candidates for the honor
then send to Rome the result of this
vote.
Dean O'Reilly of Keokuk, rector OF
ST. Peters church in that city, is look
ed upon as the possible appointee for
the new position. Father OReilly
stands high in Iowa church circles and
in the estimation of both clergy and
laity.
The selection of the new bishop may
or may not be made by the higher au
thorities of the church according tc
this vote, and very often it is made
without regard to it.
The Iowa dioceses, those of Sioux
| City and Davenport, are now under the
archdiocese of Dubuque with Arch
bishop Keane in charge. If Des
Moines is made a see city, the Des
Moines diocese will also be under this
arch diocese. The four other propos
ed dioceses mentioned in the telegram
above are to be in the western part O
the country. with the exception of one
at Joliet, which will be under the Chi
cago archdiocese.

The Par1sian's Amusements.
m tie London Globe


The favorite amusement of the Partisan
at this time OF year is to drive out in the
cool of the evening, to the Neutlly fair. 1t
Is 1.-The thing to meet in front of the
roundabouts at 10 in the evening. It Is re-
markable to observe how very rich and
costly these roundabouts have become in
recent years. The steam motor is used in
stead Of the blind horse Of old. and elab-
orately carved pigs have entirely supplant-
ed the fiery steed of yore. There is no place
in Paris SO full of gayety. and even on Fri
day, which Is supposed to be the night re-
served for the upper classes. there is a Gu
rious intermingling OF rich and poor. of
mondaines and demi- mi-mondaines, of swelfs
from the Jockey and rastaquoaires. Of the
faneur from the boulevard and the rodeur
from La Villette. Some prefer merely to
drive through and just glance at the booths
to the right and left of the route. Others
prefer to mix with the crowd and enter
more thoroughly into the spirit Of the
thing. There are the usual attractions of
the suburban fairs, and It cannot be said
that much progress has been made on the
score of variety. for the attractions have.
with very few exceptions been seen and
seen again. The wild beast shows are still
as popular as of yore: Bidel and Pezon vie
with eaoh other in feats Of thrilling

ADVICE ON SHOCKS.
What to Do in Case of Live Electric
Wires Falling.


From the New Orleans Picayune.
The average man is mortally afraid of a
live wire. and he has good reason to be. 1t
is not one man In a thousand who will get
within h;.ilng distance of one If he can help
it. Should accident put him within reach
of one the very fact would scare him half
to death, and if ever he did know what to
do in such an emergency his memory would
fail to act,
The recent death of a negro who came in
contact with live wire through an iron
hoop. and lost his life, calls to mind the
necessity of a general knowledge of some
simple rules of action for such emergen-
cies. A Picayune man had a talk with Mr.
T.. b. Mckinney. superintendent of power of
the New Orleans Railways Company. yes
terday, which is interesting in this connec-
ton
The best thing for the average man to do
is to keep as far away from Il live wire as
possible he remarked but then you cam
rot guarantee that you can follow that rule
all your life. The wire might not observe
the rule strictly as you do. Electricity
has a different effect on different people. A
man with strong heart could withstand
heavy shock and be none the worse for IT.
On the other hand a man with a weak
heart might be Killed by shock from q
telephone wire.
Wood, you know, when dry, is a nom
conductor. and If you happen to see wire
hanging down you can use long stick and
push 1t out of danger without the slightest
danger to yourself. But you want to be
sure that the stick is dry. 1t would not do

The direct current is that which is in the
