NO SUCCESSOR
To Thomas Fitzgerald is to be
Appointed by B. & O.
Company.

From a story current in railroad
circles In Baltimore, 1t is stated that
the B. & o. management do not in
tend to appoint a general manager
in place of Thomas Fitzgerald, who
resigned on the first day Of the new
year, but that the position has been
abolished. The report states further
that the moneyed interests which
control the Pennsylvania railroad
have now obtained full control of the
b. & o. stock and that from now on
the same policies in vogue on the
great corporation will be, enforced IN
the management of the r. & o. AS
is known, the position on the Penn
sylvania as third vice president car
ries with it the additional title of
general manager, and as such Will
Mr.. G. L. Potter. a representative of
the P. R. R. interests, be known.

Hymn BARRED.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan. 2a.-"That
abomination, Nearer, My God, to
Thee shall never be sung in this
churchl"
The above words were uttered with
vigor by the Rev. Thomas NJ. Don
oghue, rector of the Immaculate Con-
.ception church, during an address TO
his flock at s:15 o'clock mass last
Sunday morning. causing mild sem
sation among the congregation, mem
bers which are now criticising the
stand taken by the rector, come of
the young ones boldly declaring that
his remarks on the subject OF church
music were uncalled for. Tho older
members, however, agree that the
priest voiced the sentiments OF all
Catholics well-grounded in the doc
trine Of their religion.
Rev. Mr.. o'Donoghue was speaking
upon the subject of church music He
announced that hereafter at low re-
QUEEN masses, when the body of the
deceased is in the church, no music
whatever would be allowed. The or
gan, even mus remain silent. AT SOL
emn requiem masses. during the pres-
ence of the course no hymns shall be
sung In the English or any other
tongue but the latin At such masses
the regular choir should sing, though
he would permit outside talent IL
such talent would strictly follow the
rule regarding Latin.
Vanity Of Singers
TOO often" he said, relatives or
the deceased, through artistic taste.
but more frequently through vanity,
win bring into the choir singers who
are ever ready to show off their voice
and who are more concerned about
the praise they may win from the
audience than in the solemnity Of
the occasion. But. while such sing
ers are permitted, they will not be al
lowed to sing hymns emInating from
a non-Catholic source. especially that
abomination, Nearer. Ny God. to
Thee. Never again shall that hymn
be sung in this church"
Sometime ago Cardinal Gibbons in
structed the priests of the archido-
cese to see to it that non-Catholic
hymns should not be sung in the
church. The order came from Rome
and had to be obeyed. though it was
not altogether to the liking Of the
Cardinal, one of whose favorite
hymns, Lead. Kindly Light" used
to be sung frequently for his benefit
at the cathedral.

Cannon's Reputation Made.
That speech said Mr.. Boutell. "gav,
Mr.. Cannon position as one of the
strong men in the House and Won for him
the respect of his colleagues in both
branches of Congress and of the lead
ers in official life Mr. Cannon, he de-
clared. had answered the ridicule heaped
upon him by admitting that he was A
country member and had oats in his
pocket: who proudly acknowledged the
truth of the jest. good-naturedly silenced
the jester. and then refuted the insinua-
ton of narrowness and provincialism in
words eloquent with the spirit of the
truest craftsmanship and the loftiest
PATRIOTISM
The oats that Mr.. Cannon sowed, said
Mr.. Boutell. were not wild oats. and
they have yielded him generous and rich
returns" Mr.. Boutell referred to the
steady strides made by Mr.. Cannon during
his services as member of the House,
resulting in his election three times as
Speaker. and in closing said:
THE people of his district have con-
ferred upon him all the honors that are
in their gift to beStow, single-handed and
alone. And the thought that comes to my
mind on this anniversary of our country
colleagues first triumph in this House, a
triumph won in the interest of the work
ers of the country, is simply this: How
gladly within the next few months the
