CONSERVATION at st. Stephens Church.
To say that the removal of Rev. VIM. M.
Clements, for eleven years pastor of st. Ste
phen's Church, at Bradshaw, and St. Frances
Church, at Abingdon, Hartford county, in such
created CONSERVATION in the parishes and
country around, does not express it.
Delegations from both parishes were Joined
by many representative men of the neighbor-
hoods on Monday morning. They numbered
about $50 and filled the square on Mulberry
street, from Cathedral to Charles street. They
proceeded to the Cardinal residence and asked
for an audience which was Immediately grant
ed. That was all that was granted, however.
ALI persuasions were parted in diplomatic
manner by the Cardinal. Mr.. Harry Wroth,
the spokesman from Abingdon. was followed
by Mr. P. A. Fleury, of Bradshaw; Mr.. Frank
NJ. Gorsuch, of Kingsville; Mr.. Edward Rey-
nods, of Upper Falls and others.
To the plea that Father Clements was very
much needed on account of financial affairs it
was answered that st. Katharine's, in Bal
timore, needed him more, and that Rev. John
Mcnamara, whom he had sent in his place,
was able to cope with country conditions; that
he was q fine man and priest, and in point of
oratory Father Clements superior. When
asked why he could not send him to st.
Katharine's he replied: He is too young"
To the plea for Father Clements health the
Cardinal replied that he was well man now
and that if he broke down in couple of years
he would send him back to st. Stephens. His
Eminence gave us all his blessing and then
backed gracefully out the door.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick of Abingdon, so years of
age who was in the Cardinals parish AZ years
ago, also made plea on how hard it was for
them to give him up. The Cardinal replied /:
"My good woman, this is promotion for
Father Clements and if had not been moved
then 1 would not be Cardinal today"
No argument produced was of any avail, so
the delegation quietly dispersed.
Through the efforts of Father Clements, as
sisted by willing and hardworking congre-
CATION, and his great ability as financier, the
enormous debt that he found on st. Stephen s
Church eleven years ago, has been reduced to
A.. Sc a
BILE basis. Father Clements was the friend of
the rich and the poor, the Catholic and the non
Catholic, and to q man the large delegation
agreed that his leaving the parish would be an
irreparable loss to the entire neighborhood.
Among those outside of his Pensioners who
were present were Messrs. j. G. Taliferro,
Harold Walsh, V. B. Rittenhouse, Harry
Schultz, William Crossmore, Talbot Jenkins,
Armour Jenkins, Frank M. Gorsuch, Edward
Reynolds and others.

delegation that called on the Cardinal to pro-
