John McClosltey has the undivided distinction of being the first cardinal ever created on American soil, and this diocese shares the glory with him. Work of Archbishop Corrigan.

"It is quite unnecessary in this assembly to dwell at any great length on the life of the late lamented Archbishop Corrigan. His virtues and good deeds are so frosh In the memory of all of us of his brothers In the Episcopate, his clergy and laity ihat they need no rehearsal at my hands. "Though obliged by his exalted position to appear In the public walk3 of life, he courted retirement, and 'his life was hidden with Christ in "It would ill become me to enlarge here in his presence on the merits and labors of the popular prelato who now happily presides over the destinies of this flourishing archdiocese. Ho has taken up and holds with a linn and prudent hand the reins of government laitl down by his Illustrious predecessors. Ho enjoys the esteem, the confidence nnd affection of the clergy and laity committed to his spiritual jurisdiction.

"And, while 'the solicitude of the churches' and the moral and religious welfare of his own people are the primary objects of his pastoral vigilance and zeal, nevertheless, like a true, patriotic prelate, he is always ready and eager to co-operate with his fellow citizens of every race and rank and religion in advocating anv measure that may redound to the material and temporal well-being of the inhabitants of this great metropolis. Gigantic Strides of the Archbishopric "Let us now make a brief survey of the gigantic strides which this arch diocese has madb during the century that has come to a close. It Is only by com parisons and contrasts that we can form an adequate estimate of this growth and expansion. 'According to a primer catholic Direc tory preserved in the Baltimore Cathedral archives, published in 11J, tnore were six priests ministering in this diocese, which then, as I said, embraced the whole State of New York and a part of New Jersey. There was only one Catholic Church in the cltv old St.

Peter's and a fow modest houses of worship scattered far and wide over that Immense area. The Catholic population numbered about 20.000 souls. As for colleges and acad emies, hospitals and asylums, there were none of which any record is preserveu. What is the situation to-day? in the same territory there are one archbishop and bishops. Including a coadjutor and an auxiliary bishop, priests, up ward of 1.400 churches and a Catholic population of about 3,000,000.

The whole region is now adorned with colleges, academies and schools, protectories, asylums and hospitals, and with all tho ap pliances that religion and benevolence can devise for the alleviation or suneriiiB humanity. Now York is to-day the most important See in the United States and Is second to t'-e few. If Indeed to any, in the whole Catholic world. But amonE the various Institutions that enrich this metropolitan See there Is one structure which the hierarcny anu faithful' contemplate with peculiar pride and exultation; there is one edifice which Is your Joy and your crown, ana that is the majestic Cathedral in which we are now assembled. What the Cathedral Is.

In contributing to the erection of this church, you bav- done honor to yourselves. If it is a glory for a citizeu to raise a monument to the father of his country, how much greater Is the privilege of erecting a monument to our Saviour and Father In heaven! "And as three kings took part, in erecting Jerusalem's temple, bo have three princes of tho church united in tho construction of this noble edifice. Archbishop Hughes secured the ground and projected tho idea; Cardinal McCloskcy erected the building, and Archbishop Cor. rigan, re-enforced by his successor, brought tho work to a happy consummation. "But the times have changed; a privilege that had been of yore exercised chiefly by crowned heads, la now relegated to the people.

You are tho heirs of a princely prerogative. And though you have not royal titles nor kingly wealth, you and your fathers have proved by your bountiful offerings that you possess royal hearts. "The most Impressive sermon ever preached In this church is delivered by tho cathedral itself. It. la a Bermon in marble, it preaches la silent but eloquent language to tho immigrant dally arriving In your harbor.

"If the devout philosopher 'finds tongues In trees, books in running brooks, sermonB in stones and good In surely the Christian pilgrim, In casting his eyes around him in this church, will discover everywhere object lessons to quicken his faith, to strengthen his hope and nourish his love for his God and Saviour. Effect on the Mind of the Immigrant. "Let us imagine a foreigner coming to day to New York from Germany, Switzer land or sunny Italy. As no wains inruuK" the streets of your city, he feels that he Is In a strange land, a stranger to your country, to your instltt ions, and even lo your language. But, when his eyes fall on this cathedral, with its cross-crowned spires pointing to the heavens, ho feels that he has discovered an oasis In the desert; he found one familiar spot in a foreign laud.

He sees the paintings of the saints, and of the Lord of Saints whom hu was accustomed to venerate at home. He sees the baptismal font which reminds him of his regeneration in the waters of Baptism.

MAY HEAD A BOLTER'S TICKET.

In That Cass Democrats Would Have Good Chance of Capturing the District. There is much discussion throughout the Fifth Congressional District, now-represented by George E. Waldo, regard ing the probable candidates for the fall election. It is generally believed that Mr. Waldo will not be renominated by the regular Republicans.

It is also be lieved that Mr. Waldo intends, if Gover nor Hughes is a candidate for office of any sort, to run independently of the organization under the banner and title of a "Hughes Republican." The organization leaders, Kracke in the Eighteenth Assembly District, Connell in the Ninth, and Voorhis in the Sixteenth, who together control the congressional district, have not committed themselves definitely to the programmo of turning down Waldo, but their friends are confident that the temper of the regular organization. Republicans Is such as to demand the "turn down" because of Waldo's recent primary light against the organization in the Eighteenth Assembly District. With this as the Indicated course of events the politicians are very busy studying- out the question of whom the Republicans will nominate. The two men most prominently considered at the present time are Warren I.

Lee and former Park Commissioner Richard Young. It is still too early to make a definite forecast regarding the outcome. The only tacts known are that there will be two noimnations of nearly equal importance to be made from the Eighth Senatorial District, that for United States represen tative to succeed Mr. Waldo and that for state senator, to succeed Charles Fuller. By the laws of the garne both these noimnations cannot go to one assembly district.

By the law of majority control one of them will almost surely go to the Eighteeth Assembly District. Inasmuch as Robert A. Sharkey, leader of the Fifth, is not on the best of terms with the other district leaders in the congressional dis trict and Kracke, Cornell and Voorhis think as one man, it is not regarded as likely that either nomination will go to the Fifth Assembly District. It is the general opinion among the Republicans of the powerful Flatbush sec tion that the record of Assemblyman Warren I. Lee deserves recognition in the way of advancement at the hands of hi party.

His friends say that he is clearly entitled to the nomination for state sen ator or for representative. Lee's com parative youth he is only 32 years old has been urged by some as an argument for perferrlng to give him the senatorial nomination, but It is urged that Representative Law was nominated and elected at a younger age than Lee's, There is in this comparison the notable fact that Lee and Law were schoolmates and boyhood friends, and it has been urged on the sentimental side that there would be a peculiar fitness in sending them to Congress together. But the Republicans of the Senatorial district learned a lesson two years ago when a district nominally 4,000 or 5,000 sent Fuller, a Democrat, to the senate. In the uncertain condition which will almost surely prevail throughout the district this fall because of the tights in both parties results must necessarily bo very doubtful. He has proved himself a big vote getter in the district.

It is believed that he could be elected senator, while If Waldo runs Independently for Congress and the Democrats nominate a strong candidate like Senator Fuller, and the Republicans nominate a candidate of unknown parts from the Ninth or Sixteenth Assembly District, the result will be very much in doubt. If Waldo Is in the field it Is regarded as likely that he will recelvo the support of the Fifth Assembly District Republi cans. He has already demonstrated some strdength in the Eighteenth. It Is not thought likely that he could bo elected, but it Is regarded as not unlikely that he might cause the defeat of the regular organization candidate and the election of a man like Senator Fuller on the Dem ocratic ticket. As the Republican conventions occur earlier than the Democratic the latter are in the strong tactical position of being able to take advantage of whatever move the Republicans make.

If the Republicans nominate a weak or uncer. tain candidate for Congress, the Democrats would undoubtedly have a good chance to elect Senator Fuller to Congress and could relinquish the senatorial district. If the Republicans nominate Lee for Congress the Democrats would have time to study their chances of beating him with Fuller In a three-cornered fight In which Waldo might be the Republican dog in the manger. It Is believed to be the best tactics by leading Republicans of the district to nominate Lee for the Senate, and some man like Marcus Campbell of the Sixteenth for Congress. OBITUARY NOTES.

ESTABLISHED OVER HALF A CENTURY ASTOR PLACE DOoooccooc9CuCcc30oaoooooia I THE REALTY (ViaRKET SjaaooQaoooooacGOOOQSocooo As told In the Eagle on Saturday there hits been an appreciable drop In mortgage interest rates, both in Manhattan and this borough, with an increase of funds to be loaned. In this respect, the weekly statement of the condition of the mortgage market, issued by the Title Guarantee and Trust Company, is interesting and indicates that tho new and more favorable conditions affecting mortgages are likely to remain Indefinitely, although the Interest rate mentioned re fers to Manhattan. The lowering of rates applies equally to this borough, however, where 5 per cent. Is now the rule. The statement says: "In response to our statement that we were prepared to accept loans at 6 per we received a flood of applications, showing that activity in tho realty market is only waiting a lowering of the Interest rate on mortgages.

We were able to accept at 5 per cent, every" loan applied for, that met the requirements of our usual scale of lending. We have been pleased at the liberal response on the part of Investors, who 'seem to recognize that they can no longer expect to get the recent abnormal rates."

Certain types each are much more effective than hers, and In view of the high sneed Ith which car3 are run and in view of he congested character of many districts of the city, it is essential that only he most effective types of brakes and enders be used and that all of low effl-iency be eliminated as rapidly as pos sible. "Our division of accidents has investigated hundreds of cases and it is the opinion of the chief of the division, Mr. Daggett, that fully one-half of the acci dents would be prevented If a brake of the high power and efficiency claimed for the magnetic track brake were in universal use. A large number of lives would be saved and.

Injuries Mf every car were equipped with the best type of fender and wheel guard. "I move, therefore, that the companies be directed to report the facts called for In the resolution I have just offered, that the electrical engineer be directed to re port upon the relative efficiency of the various types of brakes, fenders and wheel guards used by the street railway companies under the jurisdiction of thi3 commission, and that, pending the submission of this report nn order for a hearing be Issued as to the advisability of requiring every company to submit to the commission for its approval the types of brakes, fenders and wheel guards to be used upon all cars hereafter purchased before such cars are ordered by the companies."

Will Mayor and Other Officials Watch a Fifteen-Ton Casting Hoisted Skyward. READY FOR THE CABLES NOW. B. E. T.

Applies for Leave to Build an Elevated line to the Man. hattan Bridge. In the presence of a distinguished company of guests the last saddle upon which the massive cables will rest was placed in position on the Brooklyn tower of the Manhattan Bridge thi3 afternoon. One of the most interested spectators was Mayor MeClellan and his chief alios in the executive offices of the administration. The Mayor was highly pleased over the rapid progress which marked the erection of the towers and the assurances of the contractors that the structure will be open and ready for traffic before the close of his administration.

The official party, beside the Mayor, consisted of Bridge Commissioner James W. Stevenson, Deputy Commissioner John H. Little. Secretary Edgar E. Schiff, Chief Engineer Ingcrsoll, Consulting Engineers Johnson and Buck, Messrs.

Ryan and Parker, the contractors, and representatives from the Phoenlxville Steel Company, which is furnishing the steel for the structure. The ceremonies nf hnlstlnr the bie steel casting into place began promptly at 2 o'clock. Of course, it would have been far more interesting if the official party had been on the top of the massive tower, but nobody seemed Inclined to venture up the dizzy heighth. The only means of ascending were a series of perpendicular ladders, which seemingly required the orintv nf gymnast to climb. The Mayor and his party viewed the proceedings from the ground.

The big steel casting, which in engineering parlance is called a saddle, weighing fifteen tons, was slowly hoisted up to the top of the tower by a masBive steel crane, and after a good deal of careful maneuvering was slowly let down into place. The other three saddles there are four on each tower were already in place. The four on the Manhattan tower are also in place. They are the final and highest parts of the towers except for the ornamental housing which will inclose and protect them later. Announcement was made that no time wi'll be lost now in beginning the work of spinning the four big steel cables which will hold up the massive steel superstructure of the bridge.

For months tho Roebling Company has been manufacturing the wire for the cables, bn-gincers of the Bridge Department have been stationed at the Roebling woVks to supervise the stanaara test. department prescribed for each strand before it is accepted as the finished article The first thing to be done now is the construction of a foot path over the river, between the two towers upon which tho men who spin the cable will do their work. Each of the four cables will be 20 inches In diameter. They will cross the towers and rest. In the saddles whic transmit the loads on the cables through the steel towers into the masonry foundations.

Unlike the saddles on the towers of the Williamsburg Bridge, the saddles on the Manhattan Bridge will not be movable, but stationary. The elastic: ity of the structure will be furnished by the towers, which will bend! back and forth, according to the strain on the The 'erection of the towers was hr-gun in Juno VJ07. Each tower is built of legs and bracing weighing altogether pounds. B. R.

T. Applies for Leave to Build an Road Connection. Coincident with the placing into position of the last saddle to-day. the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has filed for the Brooklyn Union Elevated Company an application for a franchise to build an elevated connection for its different elevated lines in E-ook yn with the Manhattan Bridge through the Flatbush avenue extension as well as tno use of the tracks of the bridge.

LATTER HUDSON CO. LEADER. Fourth Delegate-at-Large Will Probably Be Named by Delegates From Hudson. Trenton. X.

April 2S At 10 A.M. the situation with respect to to-day's Democratic State Convention for the selection of delegates to the Denver convention was not changed from the pro gramme as agreed upon last night by the state committee. This programme embraced former United States Senator James Smith, former Mayor Frank S. Katzenbaeh. of Trenton; State Senator John Hinchllffe of Passaic and State Chairman Robert S.

Hudspeth of Hudson for delegates at large, with the delegates uninstructed and the unit rulo applied. A railroad wreck at South Elizabeth delayed the arrival of the delegates from north Jersey points. State Chairman Hudspeth was not here during the forenoon, and It was not known uy to 11 A.M. whether he would come. It was also not known whether he would accept one of the places as delegate-at-large.

A few of the Hudson County delegates who came here late last night said to-day that Hudson would stand out for Robert Davis, their leader in that county, for one of the delegates-at-large, but their manner did not indicate their belief that they would win. State Chairman Hudspeth arrived at noon and announced that he would not under nny circumstances be a candidate for delegate-at-large against the preference of his own organization In Hudson County for Davis. This left the fourth place open at the time for the convening of the convention. Chairman Hudspeth said that he did not believe that the convention would adopt any resolutions, but that the declaration of national principles would be left to the national convention. The delegates agreed upon by the various Congressional districts will be as follows: First, William H.

Davis, of Camden, and E. E. Grosscup, Gloucester; second, Clarence L. Cole, Atlantic, and Mulforrl K. Ludlam, Cumberland; Third, W.

Parker Runyon, Middlesex, and Melvin H. Rice, Monmouth; Fourth, Charles II. Gallagher. Mercer, and James M. Pid- cock, Hunterdon; Fifth, William F.

CARLYLE'S "GRAND EVENING." In the course of remarks on that subject dear to all essayists, "The Art of Conversation." a writer In Harper's Weekly recalls a delicious anecdote of Carlyle and Tennyson. "Who that has wandered through the Carlyle house on the Chelsea Embankment can forget it the story which the old Scotch keeper rehearses so punctiliously day by day, and yet ever with fresh gusto? "In this room it was, sir, that Mr. Carlyle and Mr. Tennyson spent a long evening, each smokin' his pipe and neither of them speakln' a word. And nfter three hours, when Mr.

Tennyson rose to go, Mr. Carlyle said to him, 'It's a grand evenln' we've, spent, Alfred, a grand And Mr. Tennyson, he Just said, too, 'A grand and went out." wiiuL 111c viiiuii.ii wwca iu Annul 15 ti Uon.
