THE OBLATE FATHERS.
Fifteen Acres at Catholic University
for Their Home.

According to the announcement of the
Very Rev. NJ. F. Fallen of Buffalo. N Y,
provincial of the Oblate Fathers the pur-
chase of fifteen acres of land opposite the
Catholic University near this city, was con-
summated, and during the summer a house
Of studies for the members of his order
will be erected there. The land, which is in
two sections, is 4th street northeast,
one section near Lincoln avenue and the
other fronting on Michigan avenue. A
house of studies for the advanced theO-
logical students will be erected first on the
larger plot, and a novitate will later be
erected ON the other section.
Following as it does the failure of the
treasurer of the university Thomas F.
Waggaman, which has embarrassed it con-
siderably, this announcement of the in
tention of the Oblate Fathers to build near
the university is regarded as showing the
confidence that the university will become
the center of Catholic thought and prog
ress in the United States.
In making this announcement, Father
Fallon paid a tribute to the Catholic Uni
versty, saying that the Oblate Fathers
desired that their house of studies should
be near the university which exerted such
a powerful influence on the friends of Ca
tholicism. He expressed the belief that the
Catholic University is too closely allied
with the Catholic Church in the United
energy and -yigor of the people, which has
carried TO victory whatever has been be-
gun under the auspices of the Catholic
Church, it's rulers and it's members.
The finances of the university, it is
stated are rapidly recovering from the
blow caused by the failure of the treasurer

of the large communities to unite with the
university, are known to history as the
pioneers of the northwest, having left the

OYSTER TRADE DULL.
Shad and Herring Preferred by Patrons
of the Market.

The coming of the shad and herring
season on the river has in a great meas
ure runined the market for oysters in
this city and the vessels lying at the
wharf here are having a hard time dis
posing of their cargOes al a profit. Sew
eral vessels have been lying here with
oysters aboard for week or more, and
their masters will take them back down
the river. where the oysters will be
planted and kept until the market is
better. Two OF these craft left port yes
terday afternoon, and others will follow
I'm the next day or two. By this method
the oysters can be kept until next fall
when they will be found improved and
will bring much higher prices than at
this time.
