Catholic Councillors of Manitoba
University Resign.-Dr. ]. K Barrett
and DR.. James McKenty have resigned
from the council of St. Boniface Col
lege and, consequently, from the coun-
Gil of the University of Manitoba, on
which they were among the represen-
tatives of ST. Boniface College. Their
action has been the direct result of a
difference of opinion with some of the
other representatives on the question
of English Catholics in the University.
Call for Convention of Catholic
Edttors.-Edward ]. Cooney, business
manager of the Providence Visitor, has
sent out a call for convention of
Catholic editors "All class journals
of the United States are organizing"
says Mr.. Cooney. I'm the South the
Protestant papers have an organiza-
ton, the labor papers, the school pa
pers, the engineering journals, the
foreign language papers, are all united
together through some form of organi-
cation Shall it be said that the Catho-
lie papers are unable to do that which
other class papers are doing" The
Catholic Summer School of Cliff
Haven, Lake Champlain, has been pro-
posed as the convention place.
Presentation to Senate Chaplain at
Standardization the State Legis-
lature adjourned at Sacramento re-
Gently, among the presentations made
was one to the Chaplain of the Senate,
Very Rev. H. H. Wyman, G. S. P, who
was given a beautiful silver writing
set Senator Gates of Los Angeles
made the presentation speech. The
distinguished statesman from the
South is not Catholic, but his tribute
to Father Wyman could not have been
happier had he been one of the Faith.
Father Wyman, he said, had been the
friend of all, and he had given courage
and guidance for the work that was to
be performed. Father Wyman's re-
Spouse was eloquent, witty, and full of
feeling.
Woodstock College to Be Moved to
New York.-The Jesuit House of
Studies, better known as Woodstock
College, at Woodstock, Baltimore
County, will be moved to Yonkers, N.
Y, within the next two years. The
Jesuit Order has just closed contract
for the purchase of property running
from Broadway at Warburton Avenue
to the Hudson River. The lack of
transportation facilities is given as
the chief reason for the proposed re-
moval.
Hibernian Excursion to Crosse Isle.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians of
Ottawa have decided, with the appro-
baton of His Grace the Archbishop,
to run a monster excursion to Crosse
Isle about the second week of next
August. The suggestion came from
Mr.. James Regan, National President
of the A. o. H., on the occasion of a
visit to Ottawa recently. It is hoped
by this means that the last resting
place of so many Irish immigrants
will not be forgotten, but will be kept
alive to awaken in the hearts of their
countrymen like sentiments of Chris
tian faith and fortitude. The beauti-
full Celtic cross which now adorns the
commanding cliff at Crosse Isle was
erected two years ago and is due in
large measure to the enthusiastic ad-
1vocacy of Ottawa Hibernians.
New York Friendly Sons of St.
Patrick.-It is Of interest to note that
the Society of the Friendly Sons of

Law of 100 against "Popish Priests
and Jesuits" was repealed by the State
Legislature.
