The zeal of Bellamy Storer and
his wife to crown Archbishop Ireland
with the cardinals red hat and make
him a prince of the Catholic churcn'
Is better understood in Cincinnati than
i'm Washington, says a Cincinnati, o.,
dispatch to the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat. That the Storers for years
have been close friends OF the arch
bishop is well-known. His grace has
visited their home on Grandin road.
To Archbishop Ireland is given the
credit for the conversion Of Mrs. Sto-
rer and later Of her husband from
Professionalism to Catholicism. HIS
teaching Of the faith to Mrs. Storer
caused a sensation in society years
ago when the announcement Of her
baptism in the church was issued.
Since that time Mrs. Storer has been
conspicuously active in Catholic mat
ters. It was she, 1t was said, who fos-
tered the movement to establish the
Catholic cathedral in Cincinnati on
the hilltops. 1t was she who offered
the archbishop Of Cincinnati, at that
time the Most Rev. William Henry
Elder, a palace on the hilltops. Mrs.
Storer purposed to vacate her own
beautiful home and consecrate it to
the church. The agitation following
the offer was such that the archbish-
op decided to remain downtown
among the greater number of his
flock. The refusal of the residence
set at rest the move to establish the
cathedral In ST. Francis de Sales
church. Mrs. Storer's political and
social activities in Cincinnati have been
great. Her husband represented the
First Ohio district at one time. Mrs.
Storer was the conspicuous figure in
Washington, and 1t was Mrs. Storer
who was always listened to attentive
ly by the leaders of the Republican
party in Ohio. The friendship of
Archbishop Ireland with the Storer's
was credited with the hearty support
given President Mckinley by the
church dignitary. Archbishop Ire
lands service for the Republican
party in 1896 made him a national
figure, and when President Mckinley
was inducted into office suitable re-
ward was sought for Bellamy Storer.
Storer preferred a cabinet position.
He was slated to become assistant
