An Irishman. the Rev. Luke COncanen, reslo-

BISHOP HUGHEss H0UsECLEANING.

He began by annihilating the tricky and re-
bellious trustees The church corporations,
under the law of that day. were formed Of trus-
tees who had TO be members Of the parish and
to be elected by the pewholders. This law
worked well with the Protestants and badly
with the Catholics. because of a slight but i'm
portant difference in the matter Of membership
With the Protestants candidates for member
ship were chosen only after they had made due
profession of their faith and been accepted by
the church authorities; therefore, only reputa-
BILE orthodox pious people could become mem-
bers With the Catholics every soul baptized
became member at baptism, and remained so
until he openly apostatized. Therefore. old sim
ners Indifferent lvers and secret backsliders
could become trustees and electors. AS the po-
sition carried social prestige with IT, many
sought it, and the unworthy thus broke into the
sanctuary. Bishop Hughes attacked them one
by one and drove them beaten from the nelo.
BEFORE his death he secured law which made
the Bishop his vicar general, the resident pas
for and two Iaynen of the parish the board OF
trustees for each parish property. Since that
time there has been no trouble from trustees
