Mitchell the statistics of tho cbnijhin the diocese of Brooklyn aro always en''nliy compiled and cheerfully Eivcn for pubic record at tho end of each year. IWould be well if the same could be said for olh'f dioceues. but investigation shows that are many missing tables nil over the coiutry, others aro only estimates, and tho caise of dissatisfaction with the statistics so as accuracy goes thatwero found iu former of tho directory aro continued in this one a'io. For instance, the total Catholic population fthe United States is set down as 8,047.221. Inthe directory for the total was 8,301, 37.

The increase in two years, therefore, "mid only seem to bo 34.ri.S54, a self evident "'surdity. In this year's directory the figures for the totals othe whole United Slates are as follows: Total Qergy. 9.0U2: churches, 8.0 12: stations. (Impels, l.OS.'S: orphan asylums, orphans, 25,518: seminaries, 54: students, secular, 138; academics, 055; parochial schools, children attendiug parochial schools, 06,753: Catholic population, diocesan re jorts, United States census reports, 250,045. The difference in the figures of the population betH'eeu the United States census and tho diocesan reports is explained by tho faot that Mr.

Portor made an arbitrary table, which he called a term not recognized in the Catholic church, By it he excluded in some dioceses all under 0 years of age and in others those under 15 years, making his total figure of tho Catholic population about 15 per cut. under the churob estimate. Tho last mails from England brought tho figures given iu the English Catholic directory for 1892, which aro also of interest. There are in England and Wales 17 archbishops and bishops, 2,573 priests, 1,302 churches, chapels aud stations. Scotland had 6 archbishops and bishops, 356 priests and 338 churches, chapels and stations.

Thero is a list of 02 Catholic peers and baronets, one who sits in the house oflords, Lord Petre, bsing a priest. In tho house of commons there are 84 Catholic members. The Catholic population of England is estimated at 1,357,000: Scotland, 343,000: Ireland, 3,540, 950. With the Catholics iu the British colonies, the total number of Catholics under the British flag is probably about ten millions; and with those in the United states we have a total about twenty two millions in English speaking countries. The absonce of Archbishop Corrigan in the West Indies and the vacancy in Brooklyn leaves the two most important sections of tho state without episcopal supervision.

Bishop Conroy, the former bishop of Albany, resides in New York, and would be available for any ceremony requiring a bishop, but there are fewcf pressing and immediate demands. It is reported that Bight Rev. Mgr. O'Connell, rector of the. American college at Koine, had two votes as a candidate for the vacant Brooklyn mitre.

Tho pope, speaking of him recently, said: "Yes, the Americans always do things well; Mgr. O'Connell kuirs what he is about. They have more than once tried to carry him off as bishop, but I have ever refused my cnsent in ordor to keep him here whero he is doing much good." Mar. O'Connell is a nephew of the pastor of St, Mary's Star of the Son. The Catholic Citizen prints an editorial from which this timely hint is taken: "Let the churches be made comfortable 011 Sundays with seasonable ventilation and heating.

A cold church is not conducive to devotion. It may be conducive to penance; wo aro all sinners and wa should willingly bear the crosses laid upon ub during our sojourn in this vale of tears. But our ittendance at church should not be tortured into a Teople should bo enabled to go to mass without danger of acquiring pneumonia.

Thero is every indication that Father Kicly will add a very handsome sum to his building fund from the proceeds. The death of the bishop may put off the dedication of the new church for some little time longer than has been contemplated, but this will give a better opportunity for the completion of the beautiful interior decorations.

It will probably bo the lii'it church that the new bUhop will dedicate and lie will not bo likely to ever have 11 handsomer one in which to officiate.

So young couples matrimonially inclined had better hurry up and fix the day. It is not likely that there will be any change iu the usual regulations for the fast, although on account of prevalence of the influenza in Italy the cardinal vicar has issued a circular letter lamenting "rho return of a malady which has caused serious apprehensions iu recent years, and which, unfortunately, at this season prevails in teverul provinces of Itaiy. The holy father, touched by this state of things, has been good enough to dispense, until further notice, all the faithful of Rome and its suburbs from tho obligation both of fasting and abttinenco from the use of meatB on the days prescribed." Tho pontiff, however, desires that, other works of Christian charity may titke the placo of that from which they are dispensed.

The young people's union of the Carroll park Methodist church, a society for the prevention of loneliness and the dissemination of bashfuluess, met at the residence of Mrs. William J. Bower. 27G Carroll street, Monday evening, to read their journal nod engage iu the deligh tf'til pastime of making each other happy. The journal, called the Union, oansed much laughter and merriment, fer nearly everyone coDiiected with the union was held un iu a more or less ridiculous manner.

Love secrets, which the owners thought perfectly safe, were divulged, much to their consternation and surprise. All the events that had transpired since the last meeting were lucidly written up and clothed in language that could not be mistaken. The editorials and comments on what certain persons ought to do were bubbling over with wit, reflecting great creditou the. editor, who happened to be. this time.

Miss Juliet Whitenaclc. After the reading of the journal the members had their fortunes told and their partners for tuo evening selected. This was net done nil haphazard, but by a pretty little system, connected by Mrs. Bower. There were some sealed envelopes, numbered, and some small tickets with numbers corresponding lo the envelopes, shniS in separate baskets.

The men each drew an envelope and the women a ticket. Then the man had to hunt around for the woman bearing the number of his envelope, and when he found her, he was to read her fortune. After the resulting confusion subsided, dancing commenced and all W6nt smoothly until someone discovered a spray of mistletoe still hanging from the chandelier. He made use of his knowledge the next time he waltzed under it, and thus apprised the whole company of its presence. It was surprising though how soon tho girls would forget it was thero until it was too late.

The Colored Shepherds Say That It is "Wrong.

They Who Tread the Dreamy Measures to Sensuous Music Arc Inclined to Think There is Xo Harm in the Pastime "You Kin Fold the Lambs to Your Bosom ns Well at n. Prayer as in a Hound Dunce." The statement that the Rev. J. J. pastor of the Wayman A.

M. E. church, Wheeling, wis yesterday deposed from the ministry for permitting dancing at church entertainments, has created considerable interest among the colored church members ami church goers of this city. This is not becausu the membership are particularly in the habit of indulging; in dancing at. church sociables or kindred entertainments, but because it again brings up tho constantly recurring question of the morality of the ac' ion.

There i a diversity of view on the subject erem among those who are connected with the. churches and even tbe pastors look upon the. practice with varying degrees of leniency. An Eaole reporter detailed to get a concensus of opinion on tho question among tiie Afro Americans of the city found this to be very much the case. lie called on the Rev.

William If. Stitz, pastor of the Fleet street African Methodist Episcopal church, where a stirring revival is at present in progress, with such results that tho church can not hold all who are. nightly desirous of attemd ing. He found the pastor at his home, 99 Fi cot. place, in company with the Bev.

II. C. Collins, of Charlotte, N. a clergyman who is aiding hi tn in his revival services. The Bev.

Mr. Stitz, who is chairman of the New York state delegation to the national cop is of marked type, and, withal, very intelligent in his views on the question and his expression of them. He said: "1 donlt know anything of the particulars of the cane of tho Rev. Mr. Jones, but.

I do know that the rules of the general conference which are tbe book of discipline are very emphatic on this question. How a clergyman might be deposed for permitting dancing would have to ha the result of tlio evidence. Such things might happen iu spite nf 11 clergyman's most earnert efforts, but a. church would not he much of a church where such a tiling was permitted. This is what tbe rules say.

Thoy arc in that portion relating to membership and are as follows: "The prohibition is against taking such diversions as cannot done iu tlie name of the f.ord Jesus, such as dancing, card playing, iottery, policy and other games of chance, going to circuses and lei's, etc. You see tlie prohibit! in covers many things aud dancing icads the I don't say that I am opposed to dancing in it. self, but it leads to many other things lhnt are riiio ins to spiritual life. If it were confined to the home it might not be harmful, but the desir grows and the young are thus ie I to visit picnic gronuds, balls and dauce halls, where tbe results are disastrous. The question is an old one and the side opposed to dancing i.

certainly the safest." broke in Mr. Collins, "the young folks call our opposition to this dancing 'old I call their desire to dance 'young and the worst kin at that. It is nearly as harmful as any other of tbo things prohibited and more harmful than some of them." It is known that the Concord strcot Baptist, church, over which the Itev. W. T.

Dixon rules with paternal power, is one of the etrougest of the colored churches of thu town, and an effort was made to reach the pastor yesterday, but unsuccessfully. One of the leading members of his congregation s. that there hud never been any argument, on thn question. It wis the rule that there should be no dancing by church membera, and that settled it.

Bishop Longblin's Sticcessor in the Lorg Island Diocese. Wlm Some Potent inl Ptmplft Think or His Chances Domestic Differences Hnr Out Local Candidates Current Gossip 021 the Situation. The visit of Archbishop Corrigan to the, West Indies may delay for Jtttla time ilia an. nouncemeut of the name of tbo new bishop of Brooklyn.

The death of the nope, at, this time would still further protract the administration of Father May in diocesan affairs. The pope alone can namo the bishop and should Leo XIII die before the new incumbent of the soe of Brooklyn bad been ofiiciaily designated, tUo vacancy would remain until the new pope was formally installed and the usual proceedings of the consistory gone through. Them may be diplomatic and political delay in the election of the next pope mid Brooklyn would have to watt until it was all settled. If Cardinal Gibbons should prove the lucky candidate for the papacy Brooklyn could expect special favor in the mutter, for the cardinal has been a frequent visitor here and well knows the needs and desires of the diocese. Tbo idea of tho American cardinal being a candidate for the papacy is being regarded irith special favor by many ecclesiastical politicians, who are anxious for the future of the panaey.

Tradition too lends it a special flavor of probability. Several centuries ago an old Irish raonk, Malaehi, predicted Che papal succession, trivincr 10 each incumbent of tho Hoiy See a special designation or motto that subsequent events have singularly ratified. According to Malachi'a prophecy the next pope is called "Ignis Aniens "the impetuous tire. Whon Cardinal Gibbons wan raised to the sacred college he was given the church of Sanota Maria of the Transtevero as his titular charge. Here the chance of the Malaehian prophecy comes iu, for the.

words "Ignis Aniens" appear on the crest of the coat of arms that this titular church gives to the American cardinal. The coincidence, is striking, to say the least: all tho more so, asl the cardinal had nothing to do with tho choice' of the crest assigtied to him. The names of the candidates selected by tlin priests of Brooklyn and by the bishops of the province have reached Home by this time aui the pope Iiub had time to receive from the ollicial investigation of the details of tho nomination all the information necessary to make his choice if, indeed, it has not already been made.

Human nature is the same under tho priest's cassck as it is beneath the. layman's o.jtaWay hence it is not singular that there shoiilj ue ju' dividual likes and personal jealousies the Brooklyn priests. They are divided iuU several parties, mainly through the accident of tjr ferent training or schools.

The rivalries, however, are not very acute.

That local differences exist, however, is not to lie disputed' joined tn tho diocesan traditions of administntion, which are too far behind tho age to be longtj. tolerated, they seem, in the estimation of the cognoscenti, to ruin tho chances of the local candidates and to make sure that the coming bishop will be drawn from outside t)0 diocese. This is a vourco of much loeat regret, for the Brooklyn priests whom rumor ag accorded places iu the eligible list are all anii good priests.

It Will Shortly be Opened in the HollidiiT Building; and Will be Conducted on the Cooperative Plan, With a Capital Stock of 8300,000 Prominent Men Interested in tlie Veuture. The fact has just bean diseoverd that a bis business enterprise, in which aomo of tho most prominent residents of Brooklyn are interested, is about to bo established in the Bedford district. Arraagcrneiits for tho undertaking have been quietly going on for several weeks. It is proposed to open a general dry goods establishment on a co operative plan, in tbo Holliday building on Bedford avenue and Fulton street. The advisability of snob a venture has been considered at various times for over a year by some of the wealthiest residents of the upper wards.

The frequent conferences on tho subject finally resulted in the incor peration of the Brevoort dry goods and manufacturing company. It is the purpose of the incorporation to conduct a general dry goods business, embracing all the departments usually found in tbo largest houses iu Brooklyn atid Noiv Y'ork. The company has secured the several lower floors, comprising about 60,000 square feet or tho Holliday building bounded by Bedford avenue, Fulton street and Brevoort place. Tbe capital of the company is 5300,000, divided into 3.000 shares of fully paid up non assessable stook of the par value of $100 each, with the right to increase the capital stack to $500,000, without additional expense to tho company, if the stockholders should deem such action necessary at. any future time.

A bulk of the shares have already been subscribed for. Theodore P. Gilman, a Xew York produce merchant residing in the Twenty third ward and a prominent Brooklyn clubman, ts the president of the concern. Mr. Gilman has had a varied experience in such matters.

He was the incorporator of the Merchant's refining and ic9 manufacturing company in New York with a capital of J50D, 000, tho Barclay street refrigerator company (limited) and the Michigan condensed milk company. Mr. Gilman said to an Eagle reporter last night; "Our movements in this matter have become generally known earlier than we had expected and intended they should. It is the purpose of our company to purchase its goods for cash, being thereby enabled to go into tho market as a buyer and seller under circumstances as favorable as tbe largest and most prominent houses in the same business elswhere. It will, consequently, be in a position to sell to its patrons as cheaply as any of its competitors.

The proposed incorporation af such a company has been the engrossing topic among families, business men, real estate oivnars living within the district known as Bedford for a long while. The Best known men uptown aro in this movement. They have subscribed liberally for the stock. Wo will get under way within thirty days at tho furthest. Wo auk anybody who feels so inclined to subscribe and I am ready at any timo to fully explain the enterprise to anyone who desires Join us in the undertaking." The building selected for tbe purpose is one of the largest, if not the largest in tho upper part of the city.

It was erected by the late Edgar Holliday a few years ago at a cost of $1,000,060. It was Mr. Holliday's ntetition to lease tho upper floors as bachelor apartments and to conduct a general bazar on tho ground fldbr. He died suddenly, however, before he could carry his project iut execution. Mrs.

Holliday, since her husband's death, has rented moat of tho living apartments in the building, bnt has repeatedly refused handsome offers for the store portion of tbe structure. Not long ago a big local firm of dry gods dealers offered her $500,000 for the property. Shore fused the offer, because, she declared, it was her deceased husband's wish that the building should be inherited by his young son. The new corporation lease only the lower floors. GIFT TO THE S.

The young man was taken to the local uosoital known as the S. II. S'tuith infirmary, iu which institution he received the utmost care and attention until his death. Mr. Bungarz decided on making some return for tho kindness shown to his son, and presented tbe institution with an ambulance.

Erastus Winian, one of the oldest trustees of the infirmary, has sent tbe following letter to Mr. Bungarz: I desire to express to you my sincere appreciation of the exceeding liberality and thoughtful kindness which prompted you to give to the S. It. Smith infirmary such a beautiful ambulance. As tho trustee longest in the service ol this great charity, and deeply interested in its success, I want to express to yon bow highly our whole community value your girt.

Nothing could have come to us that would have been more uneful or beneficial to the sick poor or those to whom accident occurs, and. as you were prompted to make this noble gift by the kindness which we had the good fortune to extend to your son, we all feel that the event ii one of special signitinance, not only indicating the good spirit which animates you, but the degree of iisafdlnass which our institution has attained in being able to use such an effectivo instrumentality as yon have afforded in tho relief of suffering.

Tlu'ouih this friendship alio maiiaired to secure from an elder brother of Mrs. Croly a sketch of the early life of the well known writer, which presents some entit'uly new views of those times, and Mrs. Crolv's part in them. Thoietter is as 'As I remember my sister iu early life, the sunni ness of her nature is the first ami prevailing characteristic that I cail to mind, occasional moo.

Is of reverio melancholy only made more bright the habitual ra. lieneo and buoyancy of a nature that diffused happiness all around her. She was a perfectly healthy sirl in mind and body a sound mind in a sound body was her nob.e heritage. She was always extremely tern, perate ill food and drink; fastidious in all her tastes and personal habits: indulgence never, beyond tbo dictates of perfect simplicity and sebriety. She had no health destroying indtUs ences of any sore whatever.

Aptitude for any kind of work which came to her hand, or which necessity required, was a strong point in her maKCup. No sort of work came amiss. Sho could do many things, do them all equally well, Bbo was troou at all branches of housekeeping. Iler graham bread wis perfect, her stewed frtin delicious, and baked meats aln'ayj done to a turn. Pastries of any kind had but a small! place in Iter pre pa: tions.

Her apparel was mostly of her own She trimmed her own bonnets, mado her own dresses and, though her means were and her attire simple, nobody ever thought her ill Good literature was a pass ion with her, literature that is in the true sense, as expressinu iu the best way whatever thoughts or emotions sought for utterance. Xever an om niverous reader, she bad a natural instinct for he best iu lausuasc. A spirit of indomitable independence, courase and persistence in purpose characterized her from childhood. Sho must think her own thought, and mark out and fol her oirn path. Suffering from a degree of physical timidity that at times caused her much pain, she had a sDirit that seemed sometimes to border on audacity iu the assertion and maintenance of her ovfn convictions.

1'rom childhood she developed a personality which charmed all with whom she came in contact. Pefoons of both sexes, youm: and old, the souer and the cay, fell under the inlluenco of her magnetic power. Living for a time in a small manufacturim; village l.oOO people in Massachusetts, she drew to her all sorts of persons by I ho charm and brightness of her personality. One secret of her influence was her self fjrzttfttluess and genuine interest in all a bout her. for years she lived only to serve others, without any contract for pay for services rendered.

As yet be bad not. found her real work, and put but light value on what she did for others. It was iu this same village that her re makable capacity for journalism Iirst developed itself. One of the means which she used to interest the community, was the public reading of a semi monthly paper, every line of which I bolievo was written by herself and a fellow worker. The reading of that oap'U' to a crowded house, once in tiro weeks ill the Congregational church of tin placft was nu event, in their and her history.

A boundless passion and capacity for work became apoarent, perhaps, at. this period also. Shn was keeping house at this time for a widowed brother and his son, boarding also two school teachers, entertaining company and doing all the work axd much sewing, at the same timo preparing the pancr for tlioir public readings. If "genius is an infinite capacity for" work, as says, our Jtnnio showed it early. Jennie was no dreamer.

She was no speculative theorist, spinning impossible things out. of the cobwebs of her brain. Hho was no llypatia, striving to restore the effete gods of the past a revelling in a brilliant land of sym holism and atlinities. if she was caught in the mist at any time, she soon came out of it, and found her footing in the practical realities of daily life. Her nature was extremely practical not that.

she ignored the spiritual side things. Xever over reverential she never called in ipies tion the deeper realities of life But her work was with matters of everyday import, and concern. The social side of life always had immense attractions for her; not so much for the pleasure it affordsd her, though she keenly enjoyed it as from the desire to moralize all things and open them up more perfectly to the enjoyment of all. Hho was no ascetic. She would have made a por nun.

But she was a born preacher, if by preaching is meant the annunciation of a gospel to those who need it. Jennie was an ardent devotee of her sex, whatever else she believed in. She behoved in women, in girls, in womanly instincts and capacities, iler life has been among and for women, as thousands of them from sea to sea and across the sea gladly acknowledge. Unfettered by adhesion to any cotcrio or school, women of all schools and creeds have 1'eit. the infi.itiueo of her vigorous and helpful words.

Iler iife has been largely the evolution of the perhaps inchoate ideas and sentiments of ibe girl. She has changed but little, except to ripen from girlhood into a vigorous womanhood.
