Hord Is also the registrar of tho Diocese of Pennsylvania and 1 well-known among the Protestant Episco pal clergymen and working laymen throughout the East For almost 14 years he had been in charge of St. Michael's purUh.

On this point all parties and tactions seem to ngieo. To all Intents and purposes the sentiment against Mr. Penrose is neatly as pronounced. The Penrose people nre carrjingon what Is classed as n "foxy" campaign. The old-time Republican courage appears to have oozed out and this condition of af fairs serves fuither to accentuate tho statement thnt "things are different now"; that the machine which for many ears boMty carried aloft the Penroso banner, is now compelled to work for his return to the United States Senate In a rathet surreptitious manner. Tho average voter hero has grown wler than he was a few eara ngo, and in proportion to his taking on wisdom he lias become endued with a hardihood which comes with casting off the collar m Duaaism ami standing foith u free man. It is said upon good authority that Mr. Penrose Is belnir kent advised nt iim changed condition. Thero Is no an nouncement as yet that tho Senator Is to visit Chester Count during this con test. To those who are not informed on the conditions, this seems er stianga, but to tliOBtt- who know what's doing, the reason for his stajlng out of tho county Is obvious. Dr. Brumbaugh Is to come here soma time during tho campaign and his visit will serve to bring out the strength of the Republican forces as well as nwnv others who are quietly resolving to give hi in the support ritual procession of 1500 persons. Arch bishop Prendergast occupied the throne (luring the Solemn Pontifical Mass which followed. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mgr. Charles F. Kavannugh, chancellor of the diocese.
