Father Mccarthy Born In Newark.
Father Mccarthy was born in New
ark about sixty years ago. He got ms
primary education at st. Patricks
School, after which the late Monslgnor
Doane, rector of st. Patrick's Cathe-
dral, had him go to St. Charles Col
lege, in Maryland, to study for the
priesthood. At the college he always
led his class. Among his classmates
we're Monsignor Joseph M. Flynn, OF
Morristown: Monsignor John A.
O'Grady. of New Brunswick; the Rev.
DR.. MeManus and the late Rev. James
j. Curran. He was graduated from
Seton Hall College in 1868, after which
he entered the seminary at the college
to fnish his theological studies. He
was ordained a priest on May 30. 1874.
Monsignors Flynn and O'Grady n
the Rev. John Joseph Schandel, the
Rev. James J. Curran and the Rev.
Gerard Funcke were ordained at the
same time. Father Schandel died in
1895 and Father Curran In 1890.
Father McCarthy's first assignment
was as curate at st. Michaeps Church
under the late Monsighor de Concilio,
who was rector OF the hurch He
served next as curate under Dean Nc
| Nulty at old ST. Johns Church, Patcr-
son. His first appointment as pastor
was at the Church of st. Rose Of Lima,
at Short Hills. He was in charge of the
parish for years and wiped out nearly
all debt encumbrances. Afterward he
was at the Church of the Immaculate
Conception, Montclair, until he was
appointed rector Of the Church of the
Holy Trinity in Westfleld.
Father Mccarthy was considered
n of the best English scholars in the
diocese and one of the ablest and most
eloquent preachers" a priest said to-
day. HE was rendered the rectorship
of big parishes, but he declined. When
friends urged him to accept the charge
Of a large church, where his ability
would be appreciated, he always said
he was satisfied where he was, that
he vas doing all his bishop asked him
to do. AS a scholar he ranked high,
and he was a great reader" y

CUT IN HOUSE COMMITTEE
PAIRING Down of School Estimates
Cause Of Regret.
SEVERAL ITEMS THROWN OUT
No Provision Made for Clean Streets

Bathing Beach.

Although the District subcommittee Of
the House fcut to the bone the estimates
of the District Commissioners for appro-
priations for the District, the Commits
sioners will stand out for their original
estimates and will renew their efforts TO
secure all of the items asked for before
the Senate committee.
To Commissioner Macfarland the cut in
the estimates for the schools is special
regret Commissioner West says he is
sorry that the effort to esta blisn good
bathing beach is discouraged and that
no provision has been made for cleaning
the streets along the line of the inaugural
procession March 4.
While We much regret that tie House
committee on appropriations did not adopt
all that VIC recommended in the District
budget, and especially that it did not
adopt all that was recommended for the
public schools. said Commissioner Mac
Iarland today. we realize that very much
that asked given, and We shalt
lave another opportunity when We ap-
pear before the Senate committee on ap-
propriations.
Appeal to the Senate.
Assuming that the IIous, adopts the
bill substantially as reported by the
House committee on appropriations we
shall ask the Senate committee to recon-
mend all of the District budget that is not
adopted by the House, stating that the
District revenues are ample to provide
Tor the Districts half of the whole
budget of estimates if the estimates for
extraordinary improvements, including
public school buildings, are considered
separately and paid for gradually. Until
this is done the extraordinary projects of
Improvement must be deferred or our
current expenditures must be cut. or
both.
Among the valuable new provisions in
the bill is that for the municipal archi-
tect recommended by the Commissioners.

repairs OF all municipal buildings, reliev-
ing the inspector of buildings so that he
can devote himself to inspection work.

IF the bih should become law as re-
ported by the committee the District
would have to pay. in round numbers a
million dollars next year toward the re-
payment of the four million dollars due
the Treasury because of the extraordinary
improvements.
This reduces the appropriations by
twice that amount. Extraordinary prof.
ects. including the high-pressure fire-pro-
lection service. the Rock Greek valley and
the Anacostia and Washington harb. +
.front Improvements, together with the
general provision for the public schoo.
