bishops present were Bishop William

DOughprty in the S-r OF Buffalo. and
Bishop Thomas j. Walsh. of Trenton.

r"llor at Buffalo.
Cardinals Unable to Attend
Neither Cardinal Gibbons. of Balti-
more. nor Cardinal OConnclI, of
Boston. came to this city for the cere-
monies. Pressure of engagements in
their own diocescS made their presence
here impossible.
The solemn comforting of the pallium
today probably is the last great cerc-
mony in the Cathedral here for sev-
cral years. Archbishop Dougherty
already has celebrated his silver ami
vcrsary as a priest and his twenty fifth
year in the cpiscopate docs not termi-
nate until 1928.
No other Ccrcmonials remain as a
result of his appointment as archbishop
of Philadelphia. He was installed sew
cral months ago with elaborate cere-
monies. The head of the Philadelphia
diocese was bishop of Buffalo when
Pope Benedict Nv. appointed him the
successor of Archbishop Prenderga st
Prior to his Buffalo charge, Archbist Oh

From 1880 to 1910 our population
increased IS per cent. City or urban
population increased 1873 per cent,
and rural population 80 per cent. This
shows many more non-producers than
producers and may have something to
do with the hich cost of living. A
hundred years ago 80 per cent of our
population were producers.
