Received Into Catholic Church

Rt. Rev. Frederick j. Klnsman, Tor
mer bishop of h Protestant Episcopal
diocese of Delaware, has Joined the
Catholic Church. The report was off,
cially confirmed last Friday by Doctor
Kinsman himself, through letters writ
ten to friends in Wilmington, and by
Cardinal Gibbons, who received him IN
to the Church
Cardinal Gibbons announced at Bal
timore on Friday night that the FORMER
Episcopal bishop had been received into
the Catholic Church at the Cathedral
in Baltimore by His Eminence himself.
The Cardinal had made no
ment of the fact until he was shown a
dispatch from Wilmington quoting
Risbon Kinsman to that effect. 1t is
presumed the was performed
very quietly. 1t was doubtless due TO
Rishop Kinsman's presence at the resi-
dence of the Cardinal last week that
cave rise to the report thai he was
about to enter a Catholic seminary In
Baltimore to study for the priesthood.
The General Convention held IN Octo-
her accepted DR.. kinsmans reslsha-
ZION but did not remove him from
office. leaving him in the position OF a
hishop without a diocese. He now re-
mains a bishop of the Episcopal Church
.rd at the same time a Catholic. rms
anomalous position will not be changed
until he notifies the standing committees
of this diocese of his enumeration

IElks,. New. Home to Cost 100000

1t is expected h work on the pro-
posed new .hye-story home of the
b. p. o. E., which will occupy the site
vacated by the Church of the New
Jerusalem, at delaware venue and
washington Street, Wilmington, will
start within a short time. The new
building will cost in the neighb0rhood
OF. 100000.
A feature of the proposed new struc-
ture is that theffourth and fifth floors
will contain about thirty rooms i for
the use of transient Elks. Theb base
msnt will be furnished with a locker
room, shower ,tbaGhs and gymnasium.
ON the first floer will i,be found the
library, lounging room and a billiard
room. The social hall will occupy the
entire second floor. The lodge and
committee rooms will be located on the
third floor, according to the present
plans.
Meanwhile the Elks will move from
their present quarters. at No. S3l Mar
ket Street, to Nc. il105 Market Street,
which place will serve as the head
quarter of the order until the new
home is completed. The Elks have
been working on their temporary res
idence for six weeks. and will move in
before Christmas, as the property they
now occupy will have to be vacated by
that time.
There will be a meeting of the new
building committee some night TINS
week to talk oyer the preliminary
sketches of Professor Laird, of the
faculty of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, who is planning the new
.structurt.

Oysters of Eastern Shore

The Easton, Nd, Star Democrat says:
The past three weeks have been
among the most prosperous ever, ex-
praenced in the oysterJindustry in Tal-
bot County.
At least four car loads a day have
been sent out for three weeks, and. at
an average cost of S2,500 a car, the
business has resulted in a total of
about $50, 900 a week, with the demand
increasing each day But for the
scarcity of shuckers the shipments
would have been much larger. Liberal
wages are offered to shuckerS, but IN
spite of this there are not enough TO
handle the volume of orders coming in.
As Christmas comes on the demand for
oysters will be ever greater than now,
and for two weeks prior to the holl-
DAVIS the volume of business will ex-
ceed $50, eco a week.
The prevailing prices during the TWO
weeks have been $1.65 per gallon for
standards and $1.90 for selects, or an
average of S1.75 per gallon for the en-
tire shipments, while quite a quantity
of this stock sold at higher prices.
Shell stock is demanding t~op-notch
prices-even better prices here than at
CrisfeId. Cambridge, Baltimore. or any
other shipping point on the bay, n as
a result Talbot is getting a majority OF
the oysters caught in the Chesapeake
and its tributaries. During the past
week shell oysters sold in bulk here
at from so cents for the most inferior
grade to an average of $1.25 for FAIR
stock, and some stock brought as high
as $3.50 bushel. Despite the fact that
food. labor and every other expense
connected with the operation OF an
oyster vessel are higher now than at
any time in the past, the oyster men
are making more money than they ever
made ir their lives And the smokers
are reaping a harvest. They nave
steady work all day, the stock as a
usual thing is easy to handle, and they
are getting ~top-notch prices for shuck-
ing. In Valliant's big Bellevue plant
a day and night gang is being worked.
