upon his personal loyalty the aged prelate could ever
rely. Archbishop Feehan <lied 12 July, 1902. His
administration in Chicago saw a development of
Catholic life unprecedented in any other period of
tin city's history. When he was installed there were
in the diocese two hundred and four priests, while at
bii death there were five hundred and thirty-eight.
At his advent there were one hundred and ninety-
four churches, when he died there were two hundred
and ninety-eight. The city of Chicago, when he was
promoted to the see, had thirty-four churches, at his
passing away there were in the city one hundred and
tilt y churches. Some idea of the manner in which Cath-
olic education was promoted under this archbishop
can be gathered from the list of institutions which
sprang up in his time, among them the De La Salle
Institute. Saint Cyril's College, St. Vincent's College,
St. Viateur's College at Bourbonnais, St. Patrick's
Academy, and the Loretto Academy at Joliet.
Secern,/ Archbishop. — Bishop James Edward Quig- i Buffalo, New York, was promoted (8 January, 1903) to the Archbishopric of Chicago, and installed 1 1 .March following. Born at Oshawa, Ontario, 15 October, 1855, he attended St. Joseph's College in Buffalo, from which he was graduated in 1872. In this year he won in a competitive examination for entrance to the Military Academy at West Point, but relinquished military ambition to study for the ( hureh. To this end he entered the seminary of Our Lady of Angels at Niagara Falls. In the following year he went for a time to the University of Innsbruck in the Austrian Tyrol, and thence to Rome, where, having completed his theological course in the college ol the Propaganda, he was ordained priest 13 April, 1879. He was appointed rector of St. Vincent's Church, Attica, New York, in 1879, leaving this mis- sion to become rector of St. Joseph's cathedral in Buffalo in 1884. Two years later he became pastor o! St. Bridget's church in the same city and while ministering in this parish was appointed Bishop of Buffalo, his consecration taking place 24 February, 1897. The administration of Bishop Quigley in Buf- falo was characterized by a clear, far-reaching discern- ment. His public spirit, too, made him ever a con- trolling power in the community, and he was particu- larly alert to the weal of the labouring classes. His mediation in the dock strike of Buffalo in 1899 and his forceful pronouncements on Socialism were es- pecially noteworthy. In Chicago his talent for mastering details and his regard for due procedure brought a new order and system into the government of the archdiocese, while the synod held 14 December, 1905, marked the introduction to the see of a body of beneficent legislation. A diocesan college for ec- clesiastical students was opened in 1905, and the meas- ures of previous administrations for the spiritual care of the immense foreign-born and constantly increas- ini; population was continued and broadened.
