In some respects Alaska occupies an
unfortunate position, in that 1t is re-
garded by many persons in other parts
of the United States in much the same
light as many sections of the United

foreigners, who imagine that by ven

are in danger of losing their scalps
to hostile Indians, and that buffalo
may be hunted and killed in the

state of civilization will not be en-
countered in Alaska as in New York,

BIG CHURCH EVENT

was Rev. John Nepomucene Neumann,
who, in 1852, was consecrated bishop |
of Philadelphia.
Bishop Neumann died suddenly in
1860, and was succeeded by his CO.
adjutor, Rt. Rev. James Frederick
Wood, who had been appointed to
assist Bishop Neumann, with right of
succession, in 1857. Bishop Wood
was born in Philadelphia at Second
and Chestnut streets. His parents
were not Catholics, and he was not
a member of the church until, while
acting as teller in one of the branch
banks of the United States at Gin
cinnati, he became converted to Ca
tholicism. Subsequently he went to
Rome, and after his ordination to the
priesthood was assigned to a parish in
! the diocese of Cincinnati.
Under Bishop-and after the cree
| ton of the diocese into an archdio-
cese, Archbishop-Wood, the see be-
came one of Importance. He finished
the cathedral, which was consecrated
| in 1864, and in 1875 Philadelphia be-
came an archdiocese. Archbishop
Wood, like his predecessors, estab-
lished schools and converts, and many
| churches were added to his see. Sew
eral sisterhoods and many homes and
asylums also were organized during
his episcopacy. Archbishop Wood
died in 1888, and for a year the arch
diocese was administered by the vicar
general, Very Rev. Maurice A. Walsh,
rector of st. Paurs church, Tenth and
Christian streets.
In 1884 Most Rev. Patrick John
Ryan, archbishop of Salamis. coad
tutor with right of succession tc
Archbishop Kenrick of st. Louis, was
appointed to the vacant see of Phila
delphia. During the last % years, un
der Archbishop Ryan, the archdiocese
! of Philadelphia has become one of the
, most important in the United States
t When Archbishop Ryan assumed
charge there were 127 Catholic
churches and 260 priests here; nov
D. there are ESQ churches, SO ehapels ant
4 545 priests. Then there were So par
+ ish schools, with $4,000 pupils; nov
+ there are 122 such schools, with 54 ,00
d pupils. Then the diocese provided 70
} 99S orphans; now it cares for 1892
g orphans. New charitable institutions
i notably the Philadelphia Protector
for Maynard Boys, above Norristowr
r have been instituted, and others whic
l. were in existence prior to his comm
}, have been enlarged in their equiI
j. ment and usefulness under his fostel
y ing care. The Catholic population /
the archdiocese of Philadelphia ha
IS increased from 100000 in 1884 t
D about 100000 in 1908.
In 1897 an auxiliary bishop was d.

on April s, 1908, the Catholic church

direct contrast to the mushroom
shape, which under the guise, or
should say diguise, of the bell-shape,
has been masquerading for our dis
figurement now for some IL months.
The hat which turns up at one side
is trimmed under its most expensive
conditions, with triple ostrich feath-
ers spread widely over the crown.
More frugal examples show velvet or
ribbon, and fanciful quilts. All tho
crowns are considerably higher than
they have been for some two seasons,
and those which are not decorated
with feathers or flowers will show
large Topping wing on either side.
| This latter plain style looks particu-
| larly well when the straw of the
crown is of the thatch order, and the
straw of the brim is of very fine de-
scription.
Artificial flowers bloom in great
profusion, and every season seems tc
see them in greater perfection. The
roses are more lovely than ever this
year, muslin, silk and velvet alike be
ing used for their advantage.
In our illustration is seen the lates
fashionable union between coloreC
skirt and black coat, the color in this
case being a deep wine red, while the
black face cloth of the coat introduces
the further contrast of long waistcoa
fronts of blue gray cloth, embroidered
in several soft shadings. OF course
the same scheme can be carried out il
any desired colors, or If preferred, tn
skirt can repeat the color of the coat
and merely introduce a differen
| shade.
In the other costume is seen NOR
abbreviated and charmingly curve
coat, which is united to a GRACEFUL
) hanging plated skirt and is carrie
| out in fawn cloth, and is itself adorne
with black velvet, pale blue clotl
a braidings of black and gold and blu
!, and enamel buttons to repeat tn
9 pretty blending of colors, the wais
t coat being of the pale blue cloth wit
4 decorative edging of braid.

1t is already a question as to wheth-
err the loose coat or the tight coat, the
long coat or the short coat will be the
proper thing, and to these questions
yes and no" answer can be returned.
l realize that on the whole the long
coat, at least that which reaches to
the knees, is to be allowed consid-
cradle vogue in the early spring, and
that it is supplied with waistcoat OF
a contrasting color, and in some in
stances to be worn over skirt which
matches with that waistcoat. An adj
mirabIe example has the skirt of bis
cuit-colored cloth, and waistcoat also
of biscuit color buttoned with gold,
while the coat is of dull shade of
pale green fastened with very large
gilt buttons, and tied at the neck with
black glace silk ends, which certainly
give a most distinctive note.
1t is some time ago now since we
had the fancy for skirts which differed
materially from their coats, and |
would hail the revival with much en-
thusiasm, so that each woman always
takes great care to cut the length OF
that coat to the measure of her In
dividual figure. Short women may
| wear long coats If not too long, and
always supposing the women are not
too short, not abnormally short, |
! mean.
The short coats are some Of them
