TO sUPPLANT THE FRIARS.
American Priests to Be Sent to the
Philippines

Philippines.
Right Rev. D. J. Dougherty, the newly
appointed Catholic bishop of Neo-Segovia,
province of Vigan, Island of Luzon. in the
Philippines, will leave for Manila in Octo-
Der next, accompanied by five priests Sc
lected from Philadelphia for duty in the
Philippines. Bishop Dougherty was at the
War Department yesterday and had con-
ferences with some of the officials there in
regard to his new work.
Acting under recent instructions from the
Vatican, Bishop Dougherty and Fathers J..
J. Carroll, J. B. Mckinley J. McCloskey, E.
Cook and J. Farren will establish Catho-
lie college in the northern part of Luzon
for the education of native priests for duty
also been instructed by the Vatican to Sc
tive priests or young Filipinos anxious to
enter the priesthood and send them to the
United States for education at the Catholic
University in Washington and at other
Catholic schools.
The sending of Bishop Dougherty and FIVE
priests from this country inaugurates a
movement to largely supplant the Spanish
friars now in the Philippines with Ameri-
can priests. Bishop Dougherty has received
detailed instructions from the Vatican to
govern his work in the Philippines, and will
work in perfect harmony with the state
officials. Recently the bishop was at Oys-
ter Bay and had a conference with the
President regarding the work he proposes
to do in the Philippines in connection with
church matters.

WASHINGTON EXHIBIT
ST. LOUIS FAIR MANAGERS URGE
A DISPLAY.
The Commissioners Invited to Cooper.
ate-Reservation Set Aside for
the City's Use.

The management Of the Louisiana pur-
chase exposition is showing deep interest
in the proposition to have an exhibit rep
resenting the city of Washington among
the exhibits of the leading cities of the
country, which the Commissioners are now
considering. In response to his letter OF
the 2Sth Of July, acknowledging the invita-
ton to the Commissioners to arrange for a
special Washington exhibit and asking for
information as to details, Commissioner
mcfarland has had three replies. One is
from the secretary of the exposition, Mr..
Walter B. Stevens, saying that President
Francis has taken up the subject-matter
with the division of exhibits and that the
department Of domestic exploitation will
send information as to what the leading
cities are going to do.
The chief of the department of social
economy, Mr.. Howard J. Rogers. writes,
by direction of the director of exhibits say
ing that Mr.. Alfred Kelsey of Philadelphia,
superintendent of the municipal improve
ment section, now on a flying trip to Eu
rope, will return in September, and will
then visit Washington and confer with
Commissioner Mcfarland.
You may be assured" writes Mr.. Rog-
ers. that we will highly appreciate any
cooperation you may decide to give us in
the matter of this exhibit"
He incloses a circular, indicating the gen.
erdl purpose or the EXHIBITS representing
the principal cities under the general head
Of municipal Improvement.
Space Reserved.
The third letter is from Charles NJ
Reeves, secretary of the committee on leg
islation, and Is as follows:
II am sending you under other cover a
ground plan map of the Louisiana purchase
exposition. on which I have designated in
blue pencil the site of the proposed Model
City," in which Washington has been in
vited to place an exhibit. This reserva-
ton is about 1,5OO feet in length, with an
average width approximately 800 feet. A
model street will be laid out through the
center of this tract This street and it's
equipment will cost the exposition company
$4,000.
ut is our purpose to have the buildings
representing the twenty-five cities that have
been invited to participate erected along
either side of this street, and to make this
one Of the most attractive features of the
exposition.
Among the other interesting things that
have been proposed for the municipal ex-
hibit requests have been made for sufficient
ground space upon which to erect model
church and model theater."

NOW 1T is COCKRELL.
MI. w. j. Bryan Has Discovered An
other Presidential Candidate.

A special TO the Baltimore American from
Lincoln, Neb., yesterday says: Under the
heading why Not Senator Cockrell?" Mr..
Bryan says in the Forthcoming issue of his
Commoner:
Why not Francis Cockrell of Missouri
for President? His Christian character, his
long experience, his great ability and his
unquestioned integrity make him worthy
TO be considered among those eligible to Il
democratic nomination. AS one who has
been in harmony with his party on every
occasion, he would be acceptable to the
Kansas City platform democrats. and yet
what reorganizer could find a personal OBJ
lection to him? His long service would dis,
arm criticism. and his popularity would
spread as he became known.
he Is sixty-nine years of age, but young
enough for service yet His service in the
confederate army would not weaken him.
frst because the war Is over, and, second,
because his record has been such a. to com
mend him to those who wore the blue as
we'll as TO those who wore the gray"
Following the laudation of the Missouri
senator, Mr.. Bryan criticises the mention
of Senator German as q presidential pos
sibility.

and it is possible that Dr. George N. Luc-
cock. the last pastor. will come from
Orange. N. j., where he is filling tempo
rary engagement and will assist in the
services. The services will be public and
the burial private.
Mr. Zimmerman was born in Fairfax
county. Va, in 1928. He lived for some
time at Harpers Ferry, where he was en-.
gagged in the undertaking business, and was
there during the terrible cholera epidemic of
1850, when scarcely a home was without a
vacant chair. While there he married Mary
Margaret Fleming, whose father was after
ward in the flour and feed business in this
city. In 1852 he came to Washington, and
soon afterward obtained employment in the
folding room of the House of Representa-
tives
At the beginning of the civil war he was
sworn in, together with the other employees,
to defend the Capitol, and had at command
stock of interesting stories of war times
in Washington while he was at home. One
day, before regiment had been detailed
to defend the Capitol, he heard loud firing
in the direction of the building. Thinking 1t
might be attack he grabbed his hat and
ran at full speed in the direction of the
noise, only to find when he got there that
a Massachusetts regiment had arrived to
relieve the impromptu guard and was
emptying its guns with peaceful intent.
Stood by the Union.
He was always a strong Union man, al
though he had two brothers on the other
side. For while during the war he was
engaged in manufacturing mattresses for
the United States government, but he failed
in the business ultimately, and returned
soon after the war to accept a position in
the Capitol, this time on the Senate side.
While there he became acquainted with
many public men. and it is said Senator
Allison and several others of the upper
house who We're there many years ago con-
Sidered him their close friend.
At the time of his death, as stated,the had
charge of the upholstering and cabinet
making of the Senate. He supervised the
preparation of the catafalques constructed
to receive the remains of Garfield, Logan
and Mckinley, and whenever a senator died
1t was he who draped the vacant desk on
the floor. He had many friends in the
building, and had known nearly every
prominent man who had been there during
the time of his employment. Some time
norman married Katherine Lehman. the
daughter of Col Lehman, a prominent
patent attorney in the city.
He has always been identified with mis-
sion work. and was instrumental it is said,
in founding the Waugh NJ. E. Church, at
the corner of Sd and A streets southeast,
and was the first class leader. After the
war he Joined the Metropolitan Presby-
terrain Church, at a time when 1T was
scarcely more than a mission. No man in
that church today, 1t is said has watched
it through it's growth more closely than he.
Mr.. Zimmerman leaves a wife and one
son. Robert II. Zimmerman. who resides t
112G B street northeast, and two daughters,
Mrs. B. J .Cady, 113 9TH street southeast,
and Katherine, aged fifteen years, the lat
ter by his second wife.
