By A., K. GROH.

804 marriages, i8b conversions, 3,628
baptisms and 957 deaths.
There are three Catholic dioceses
in Nebraska, those of Omaha, Lin
coln and Kearney. The total Catho
lic population of the state is 142.309.
The Omaha diocese was erected
October Z, 1885; that of Lincoln, Au
gust 2, 1887, and that of Kearney,
March 8, 1912.
Province of 'Dubuque.
These dioceses are a part of the
Province of Dubuque, which prov
ince comprises the states of Iowa,
Nebraska and Wyoming, and is pre
sided over by Archbishop James J.
Kcane of Debuque, la.
In the United States there are six
teen archbishops and 100 Catholic
bishops, besides three cardinals and
the apostolic delegate.
In the entire world there are four
cardinal .bishops, forty-nine cardinals
and eight cardinal deacons. Three
of the cardinal bishops, seventeen of
the cardinals and five of the cardinal
deacons are Italian's.
While the new prelate of Omaha
will preside over a bishopric (or dio
cese) he has the title of archbishop,
and this title he will retain.
He is the fourth Catholic prelate
to have official residence in Omaha.
The administration of his three pre
decessors extended over a period of
fifty-eight years.
Here Before the 'War.
The first prelate to live here was
the Rt Rev. James O'Gorman, D. D.,
Vicar-Apostolic of Nebraska, aqd
Titular Bishop of Raphanea. He was
consecrated in St. Louis, May 8, 1858,
and came here soon afterward, when
there were but four priests in the
whole state. He died suddenly, July
4, 1874.
The Rt Rev. James O'Connor, D.
D., Vicar-Apostolic of Nebraska, and
Titular Bishop of Dibona, was con
secrated August 20, 1876. He was
the first to hold the title of Bishop
of Omaha, which title he received
when the Diocese of rjmaha was
erected, October 2, 1885. He died
May 27, 1890.
The Rt. Rev. Richard Scannell, D.
D., was consecrated Bishop of Con
cordia, November 30, 1887. He was
transferred to Omaha following the
death of Bishop O'Connor, and was
installed Bishop of Omaha, January
30, 1891. He administered the affairs
of the Omaha diocese for a quarter
of a century, dying January 8, 1916.

County Poor Farm
Is of Little Value
The present county hosni'.al, or
county poorhousc, of Douglas county
is no good that is about the sum
total of the findings of the city health
and hospitals committee of the Com
mercial club.
The language used by the commit
tee is: "The present building is
wholly unsuitable for the care of the
insane and those afflicted with tuber
culosis or for taking care of the
county poor."
It is the committee's opinion that
the sick and insane should be cared
for in an institution separate and apart
from the work farm. At their last
meeting J. IV Palmer, who was a
member of the last legislature, met
with the committee to discuss the pro
visions of further legislation, which
it is proposed to submit to the legis
lature this winter and which will at
least provide for a workhouse and
workfann. It is not expected that a
separate city and county hospital can
be obtained at this time. It is thought,
however, that the county poor could
be taken care of in a new workhouse
and the upper floors of the present
county hospital building with some
changes used temporarily for hospital
purposes. A special committee has
been appointed to confer with Mr.
Palmer relative to the provisions of
the bill mentioned. Guy C. Kiddoo,
representing the city health and hospi
tals committee: T. F. Sturgess, public
welfare committee, and John A. Rinc,
the municipal affairs committee, are
the special committee. They will meet
with Mr. Palmer during the coming
week and will probably be ready to
submit their conclusions to the execu
tive committee within the next week
or ten days.

Commercial Club
Wants to Know the
"Hyphens" Better
To fraternizf with the "Hyphens"
is the purpose of a plan now being
worked out by a special committee
of the Commercial club. Of course,
the committee doesn't put it that way,
but the idea is to get better ac
q lainted with the foreign-born of the
city. .
In this project the club intends to
work along lines suggested by the
bureau of naturalization of the
United States Department of Labor.
Commercial organizations every
where are showing a growing ten
dency to seek to become better ac
quainted with the newly naturalized
citizens in order to induce them to
learn more rapidly national, state and
civic ideals.
