C., to the effect that great national Catholic uni- versity will have at its head Bishop Jonn Carroll .of Helena. The Evening Star of Washington has this to say with regard to the selection: - \The selection _of .Biahop__ Car- roll as the new rector is regarded as highly gratifying. He is very popular with the 'priests and hier- archy of the country. Bishop' Carroll is particularly well known and liked in the western states, and is dee*ed to command the active support of rich and influ- ential persons in that - section. The.selettion of a churchman from the west is looked to be a highly important factor toward the sue- 'cess of the institution, einee it will rally, more than ever • before, the Catholies --- iii — tharibiltion!cif — the country to the support of an - en- dowment that has had the sanction and the patronage of two of • the i greatest,pontiffs n the history of the Catholic church.\ A LARGE BANK SALE S.
