Rome that Monsignor Falconi will soon
be created cardinal, and ii is further
reported that he will be replaced as
apostolic delegate at Washington by
Monsignor Agius, whose interesting re-

delegate TO Cuba, or Monsignor Stangni,
the Archbishop Of Aquila, who lived
many years in America, may be de-
cided upon. For the present, however,

places in the east to take part in the
exercises. Advantage had been taken
of the fact that Sunday had been mp
pointed for the ceremony, and many

and even as far of as Albany. were
closed in order that the congregations
might enjoy the trip TO the scene of the
exercises. 1t is said that the land
alone, in this somewhat rural district,
cost upwards of $54, 900. This money
was largely contributed through the eff
forts of the Lutheran Educational So
