TO COLONIzE MONTANA.
Bishop CAROLS Plan For PopuIating
the State.
(Helena independently


Bishop J. P. Carroll of the Helena
diocese, returned Friday from visit
to his old home in Dubuque Iowa, and
announces his determination to organ
ize a colonization scheme for the pur-
pose of bringing people into Montana.
The plan which Bishop Carroll has
in mind is, still in a formative state, but
lit will be based on the successful plans
which have been pursued by Arch
bishop Ireland in Minnesota and by
Archbishop Glennon in Missouri.
corporation will probably be
formed and the business of bringing
Catholic immigrants into the state will
be conducted in a business like way.
1t will involve generous advertising and
the establishment of agencies in diff
ferent parts of the country and in for
eign countries, where desirable 'imml-
grants may be induced to turn their
eyes in the direction of Montana.
Il believe that irrigation will work
wonders for this state. said Bishop
Carroll as he talked enthusiastically of
his plan, last night. Il feel that an ag-
ricutural era for the state has com
menced and if the fertility of the soil
is once proven, people will come here.
Some time ago l sent Father Day over
the irrigation projects and later l as
signed Father Phelan to work in the
Milk river country.
Il am novice in this business, as
yet, and have been studying the ques-
ton. While | was away L visited Arch
bishop Glennon in st. Louis and Arch
bishop Ireland in ST. Paul. From them
obtained description of the methods
they have so successfully used. Arch
bishop Glennon has been conducting a
colonization scheme lin southern and
western Missouri and his efforts have
been largely successful. Archbishop
Ireland did the same thing during the
early days in Minnesota. | think that
corporation will be eventually formed
for the purpose. This is the method
which has been used by Archbishop
Glennon. We will endeavor to induce
desirable immigrants to come here
from wherever we can find them. What
Montana needs is people, and l think
we can get them
Bishop Carroll reports a very enjoy
able although busy trip. He made the
paccaiaureate address at the COM
mencement at St Josephs college in
Dubuqe, the institution of which he
was president before coming to Mon
tana. He also made commencement adj
dresses at neighboring institutions.

CITY OF DENVER.
Death Enters the Homes of Promi-
nent Catholic Families.


Sorrow is felt generally over the
death of Mrs. ]. A. Fisher, which oc-
Cured in this city last week, after she
had apparently passed the crisis in an
attack OF pneumonia and was on the
road to recovery. Mrs. Fisher was ar
old resident of Denver, a woman OF
high intellect and with a host of real
true friends She was the mother OF
Thomas E. Fisher, general passenger
agent of the Colorado & Southern
railroad, Mrs. jeremiah Mahoney, and
the Misses Jennie, Nellie and Rather
iaa Fisher.
Her death on Wednesday last was
caused by heart failure resultant from
pneumonia which greatly taxed her vi
1alfty. leaving her weak and unable to
withstand the shock. Four weeks age
she was taken ILL., but her recovery was
hoped for until the very last. and the
shock has accordingly Frustrated the
family The saddest feature Of Mrs.
Fishers demise is that it occurred on
the birthday Of her only son.
Mrs Fisher was one of the old res
idents of Denver, and for years she,
with her son and daughters, had lived
at the Capitol Apartments at 1851
Grant avenue. Mrs. Fisher came to
Colorado in 1877 and lived in Leadville
for several years. Mr.. Fisher died
there in the early sos, and then the
widowed mother brought her family to
Denver. where they have lived ever
since. Another son, Harry Fisher, died
there in the summer of 1901
Solemn high mass of requiem was
sung for the repose of Mrs. Fisher $
soul on Saturday in Logan avenue
chapel. Rev Father Phillips officiating.
The chapel was crowded with friends
Fri
attested the love of a legion of friends
The body was laid to rest in the receiv-
ing vault in Fairmont cemetery and in
october viii be taken back to her old
home in Memphis. Mrs. Fisher was 60
years of age.

Father lwhite rransferred.

Much regret is. felt at the transfer
of Rev. Father John B. White from
this diocese. Father White has been
stationed at Colorado City during the
winter, but his health is not as good

deemed the change advisable. He has
made wonderfully great number of
friends since he has been in this dio-
cese and their best wishes go with him

Journal Special Service.

: Paris, Oct. 2S.-There has been
good. deal of talk about the marvellous
predictions of Jules Verne who in his
czaT descripea the Surfing % Of the the
] reservoirs Of naphtha in the Caucasus
the river Of fire. and even the revolt of
the sTartars. These were not predic-
tions. in the strict sense, but forecasts
and the strange thing is that the nov
elsth himself believed that what he
imagined and forecast would come to
pass in due course of time.
After the success of ''Michael Strog-
off, = as story, Jules Verne went to
see the master of stagecraft, D Emery,
who by the way has made more money
in dealing in blood 7curdling plays than
either Scribe or Sardou, higher pro.
fessors Of the art, and suggested that
D Emery read the book, found it in
teresting, but said that if adapted for
the stage the public would never stand
the burning of the naphtha reservoirs
and the river Of fire.
fBetter have these impossibilities
out, said the doctor. ;~~=>
They. are not impossib ilities,' re-
piled Verne, "and you will find that
in the next century the word 'impos-
sible' will have to be blotted from the
dictionary. You will yet see come to
pass events as strange as any found in
my stories-in fact my stories will ap-
pear like predictions. "o-. >''..--~---~.

New York Herald Special Service.
Paris, Oct 2S.-Predictions are made
freely that the coming winter will be
a record one for severity. This predic-
ton, which is made not scientifically,
but popularity, is due to the unusual
cold snap this week. Furs have been
generally worn and at the last, open
cabs have disappeared from the street.
chestnut vendors are now on the street
corners and there are other signs that
winter is here in earnest.
Thermometers have dropped below
zero centigrade several times this week
and frost has been frequent.
NJ. Joubert, director of the municipal
observatories at the Tour of ST. Jacques,
writes to the Herald as follows:
There are two well-marked move
ments; one anti-cyclonic over the north
of Europe and the other center Of dis.
turbance< over the south. The meeting
of these two currents thus produced,
one moisture laden and warm, coming
from the south tie other dry and cold
from the north, will cause rain or
snow. ~ 49,. s..
"Such prospect as this is driving
Parisians to milder climates. Reports
from Riviere resorts show that these
are beginning to fill up. Cairo and Al

mncing.' .. . .-....- ,--..., ..-'s.fi

.CURzON IS TO BE
A BRITISH EARL
Seat in House Of Lords and an
Earldom to Be Former
Viceroy's Prize.
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service
London, Oct. 28.-AIl speculation
with regard to the future of Lord Cur
zon has been set at rest by the semi
official announcement that he is to be
raised to the dignity of an earl on the
occasion of his state reception OF the
prince and princess of Wales, when
they land at Bombay, a few days hence.
This will be his last official act as vice.
roy, and two days later he will sail for
England with Lady Curzon, who will
then be countess, and his children,
each Of whom will, thru the promotion
Of their father, be entitled to the prefix
of "lady'' to their Christian names.
The earldom will be one of the United
Kingdom, which will have the effect OF
investing Lord Curzon with seat in
the house of lords and Of depriving
him of the possibility of ever sitting
again in the house of commons. On the
death of his father, old Lord Scars
dale, the latter IS peerage, barony dat
ing from 1851, will become merged in
Lord Curzon's earldom.
There was an idea at one moment
that the new earldom might be, like
Lord Curzon's barony, an Irish one,
with the object Of enabling him to re,
main in the house Of commons if he sc
desired. But the idea has been aban
doned. much to the relief Of Sir Will
liam St. John Brodrick, secretary OF
state for India, who would not relish
having Lord CurZon as a fellow-me
Der of the house of commons after what
has passed between them.
