Beautiful-A Number of Ameri-
cans Were Present.
Rome, Aug 15.-The conservation of
the Rev j. j. Harty of st Louis as
archbishop of Manila took place this
morning in the Franciscan church Of
ST Anthony. The conservation of an
archbishop retains intact more of the
rites Of the early Christian church than
any other Roman Catholic function
and to-day's ceremony was very beau
tiful. Added interest was given by the
fact that the first archbishop to be con-
secrated under Plus x was an Ameri-
can.
Cardinal Satolli officiated and was
assisted by two bishops. The new
archbishop was annointed with holy oil
on the temples and palms of his hands.
He was then given the Episcopal ring,
symbolic of his marriage with the
church the mitre and the pastoral
staff of power. Archbishop Harty
then offered Cardinal Satolli two light
ed torches two loaves of bread and
two small gilded barrels of wine as
symbols of his love toward his conse-
orator. This offering was followed by
the kiss Of peace from Cardinal Sa-
tolli after which the new archbishop
walked through the church imparting
his first episcopal benediction to the
kneeling congregation.
Among those present at the conse-
Grafton were the Rev Dennis O'Con-
nell, rector of the Catholic university
at Washington; Monsignor Ken
nedy, with members Of the
American college; Bishop Hen
drick of Cebu, and his brother,
Father Joseph Hendrick; Monsignor
Edward w. Fowler, Father Donahue,
Father David Fleming. formerly su-
perior general of the Franciscans;
Father Whitmer, rector of the English
church in Rome, and the Rev J. J.
Ryan, president of the college of
Thurles, Ireland.
After the ceremony refreshments
were served in the refectory of the
Franciscan monastery. The fact that
the first American archbishop of Ma
Mia was consecrated in the church
which is the seat of the general house
of the Franciscan monks, one of the
four orders objected to in the. Philip
pine Islands, was much commerte en-.

Solomon Might Have Found Something New
Had He Dropped in at This Contested
Election Hearing.

Asheville. n c., Feb 24-The Gudger
contested election hearing today was
again eniivened by some pretty rough
language, and oaths were hurled at Frank
Carter counsel for Gudger J. A. Jarvis
was the witness with whom the contest
ants opened the hearing today.
When Carter asked, How many times
have you been arrested" witness flew
into a passion and let loose a string of
vituperative language. Il told you Mr.
Carter you are scoundrel to introduce
ANYTHING like that" Carter asked the
witness: Did you not buy a Singer
Sc wing machine on installment plan and
afterwards without paying for machine,
dispose of it by mortgage or sale, in or
der to defraud the company This ques-
tion threw witness into frenzy and he
yelled ''r- - your Internal soul.
At this point counsel had a Sord to
say. Commissioner Green said he did
not propose to fill up the record with
this kind of stuff. Gudger arose and said
he thought it was the duty of the com
missioner to protect counsel from such
attacks and to fine the witness Col
Lusk, of counsel for contestant. replied
that counsel were not justified in asking
such questions
During this discussion or counsel Wit
ness kept saying: e. -- your Internal
soul " ''-- - Internal scoundrel,
and other uncomplmentary language
Counsel for contestant have only lin
tied time in which to introduce further
evidence and then Gudger's attorneys
will introduce evidence. 1t is said there
will be a lively time when witnesses are
put on the stand to rebut CampLell's
testimony.

THE NASH AND DAVIDSON
MONUMENTS,

All North Carolina is gratified that at
last Congress has made two appropria-
tions of 81. 900 each to erect a monument
10 Davidson and Nash. For that the
whole State is indebted chiefly TO our
two Senators and To Hon. w. w kitchin.
who secured the appropriation. and to
Col. Benehan Cameron.
At the meeting OF the Society Of the
Cincinnati In Charlotte on Monday. on
motion OF Bishop Chcshitc. the society
expressed its opinion that the monument
TO Davidson should be- erected at Char
lotte and the Nash monument in Raleigh
ON Nash square. The people of Greens
boro and the directors OF the Guilford
Battle Ground desire that both monu-
nents be erected on the Guilford Battle
Ground. The trustees OF Davidson Col
lege believe and hope that the monument
10 Davidson will be erected on the cam
pus of the college named for him.
1t is particularly fitting that the monu-
lnent to Gen. Nash should be erected on
Nash square. facing the union depot in
the capital of the State. There is no
place so fitting or appropriate as on the
public square named in his honor in the
city of Raleigh.
