"Henceforth the docks will be my parish." he said to the strikers; "yoli know aa bishop I have no parish. And I shall not leave you until you are hack at work and aatisfied with the condition." He stuck by this declaration, became the virtual strike leader and saw the trouble settled to the satisfaction of the men. While most of the ministers of lirie County were gathering In mass-meeting to protest against a prise-fight being pulled off in the county, the bishop called the sheriff to hla house, and demanded of the latter whether he wanted to put a stain on his official character by allow ing the fight to take place. Receiving a negative answer, the bishop next asked the uncomfortable official whether he proposed to let the fight take place. "No, Bishop. I do not." was the reply. "Please state the fact In writing." Which the sheriff did. Then the bishop went to the mass-zneetlng. waved the bit of paper before the Catholic and Protestant clergy there assembled, and broke up the gath ering.

In this respect his career contrasts strangely with that of the archbishop of Boston, who has held" only three or iour offices below that of' cardinal. Succeeding the late Archbishop Corri gan six years ago. Archbishop Farley, by his conduct of tins country's largest Catholic archdiocese, has won an inter national reputation as an ecclesiastical administrator. Back in the early '0s, when he became the secretary of Cardi nal McCloskey. the first American to re ceive the red hat, he secured his wide reputation as an expert in canon law. Until Cardinal McCloskey's death. Arch bishop Farley was closely associated with him, and as his secretary kept the accounts of the building of St. Patrick's Cathedral, in which famous edifice the archbishop now preaches. During the rather recent centenary celebration of the New York archdiocese, its head was much in the public eye, and at that time there waa a great deal of talk to the effect that, after Archbishop Ireland, he was America's most likely candidate for car dinal. He now lacks four years of being 78. The birthplace of Archbishop Farley was Ireland; he came to this country when he was 17. Archbishop Sebastian Messmer, of Milwaukee, is a native of Switzerland, and did not come to -this country until after he had been ordained priest in his home town of fit. Gall. That was in 1S71, a year after Archbishop Far ley had 1 een ordained in Rome, following his four years' course in the American College there. The future archbishop of Milwaukee be gan his American career as a theological professor in a New Jersey seminary: and from then on until he waa appointed bishop of Green Bay. Wis., In 18'J2. he held various professorial posts, develop ing into one of this country's leading theologians and Latinists. He accepted the bishopric only after Pope Leo bad refused to let him remain In his chair at the Catholic university. As bishop he made good, and when death caused a va cancy in the -Milwaukee archdiocese lie waa sent there, succeeding, five years ago. the man he succeeded as bishoi. Archbishop Messmer is looked upon as the leader of the German-American Cath olics, largely because of the location of his see. He believes that Catholics should deal with public questions as they choose. and holds that they show unjustifiable weakness if they do not. He came for ward with this statement when Archbish op Ireland urged his co-religionists not to embarrass President Roosevelt in his pol icy of dealing with the friar question In the Philippines. Kxplalning his state ment. Archbishop Mesamer aid: 'To be good citizens: It Is necessary that men should have an intimate under standing of all questions in which their country is involved. They must proceed with a clear mind to the discussion of all these issues, and must lend their aid and influence to the Just eettlement of them. They should not be deterred from this patriotic duty by any outside consid eration, and . although Catholic cltixens should act hi accord with their splrttual advisers, they should remain firm in what they know is the right path."

All the merrywidows have come off without comment! The Old World has sent full measure Stable Constructed of Concrete Throughout THE use of concrete in special forms of construction has ceased to be a matter of wonder to architects and con tractors. Its cheapness, strength and adaptability are, however, much dis cussed in technical publications. From this point of view the stable recently built by Robert E. Griffith at Haverferd, Pa., Is Interesting. It is thus described by Randolph Parry, of Philadelphia, who designed it: The stable is of very solid character, comparing from that standpoint very favorably Tylth the best examples of brick and stone. In designing the structure the practical and convenient features were given the first considera tion. Artistic effects were a secondary matter, yet the results are entirely pleasing from an architectural stand point. The same methods of construc tion here employed could, with equally good results, have been applied to a dwelling. Except in one Instance, the case of constructing such buildings constitutes !IAMMERTEINg NEW OPERA-HOUSE IX PHILADELPHIA, PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 28. (Spec al.)

While the walls and columns of this stable did not cost more than if constructed of wood, brick or stone, they possess the decided advantage of never requiring painting or repairs. If the methods here -employed were ap plied to a dwelling-house, a further economy would be effected through an elimination of the necessity for furring and plastering. A dwelling thus con structed -would Ve fireproof and could be heated at a considerable saving of fuel, as compared with many other houses. . The building is 26x37 feet in ground plan, with a 14-foot shed, or overhang. The outer and partition walls are of concrete six Inches thick, the former being 11 feet and 6 Inches high.
