Yesterday morning after mass there was held a meeting of all the Catholics of the par ish and at that time it was explained by Father Horton that just at this sea son of the year being in midst of the holidays and so many of he students being wholly engrossed in their exam inations, the right reverend bishop of Hie diocese had decided to postpone his forthcoming visit to Athens until after the holidays and that, the exact date of his coming would be announced later.

A large number of new men ire in the present house, and their availability is being considered by Speaker Cannon and Democratic Lead- r Williams.

C., December 9.— The selection of Chicago to be the place for holding the next republican national convention is being interpret ed as a victory for the anti-administra tion forces. Whatever foundation there is for the feeling a sense of su preme satisfaction pervades the breasts of the Foraker forces. Sen ator Foraker and his colleague. Sena tor Dick, express unmitigated pleasure at the result of the committee's meet ing. For several days tlie report has been circulated that the success of Kansas City would mean the dominance of the administration, while the choice of Chicago would lie largely dictated by the desire of the delegates to be free of the local Taft sentiment in MiS; sostiri. The administration supporters insist that other factors dictated the choice of Chicago. It is very evident, however, that there is no satisfaction in the Talt camp over the committee's action. On the other hand, the Foraker contin gent is jubilant. Asked by Citizens Bank was Denied by Judge Brand at Hearing Yes* terday. Yesterday afternoon Judge Charles H. Brand heard arguments in the in junction proceedings of the Citizens Bank ami Trust Company against the owners of the building in which the bank is located. The petition for injunction was brought for the purpose of preventing the owners of the building from erect ing a one-story addition to the build ing on the corner of Clayton street and College avenue. The contention of the bank was that the contract called for a corner room and that tile erection of this ad dition was a violation of the contract between tlie bank and the owners of the property. It was further contend ed that the erection of this addition to the building impaired the light ing and ventilation of the bank room, and for that reason it was asked that the injunction be granted. Judge George C. Thomas appeared for the bank and Cobb & Erwin for the owners of the building. After hearing the evidence and the arguments. Judge Brand declined to grant the injunction and the erection of the one-storv addition will pro ceed. LINEN INDUSTRY IN UNITED STATES Boston, December 9.—Now England cotton mill operators are figuring up on tlie probable effect upon their business of the establishment of the linen-making industry for the first time in the United Slates. This has come about as the result of the dis covery by a Massachusetts inventor of a process of linen-making that is commercially praeticalfle under the labor conditions prevailing in this country. Two New England mills are now being equipped to operate under this process. Heretofore practically all linen fibre and fabric used in the United States has been imported from abroad at a cost of over 520,000,000 exclusive of duty. This is due to the fact that by old-world methods of reclaiming linen from flax straw the cost here would be prohibitive. Only the peasant labor of Russia, Belgium and other Euro pean countries }s_cheai>, enough t^ UBe in the processes which abroad oc cupy from IS to 30 weeks. The com bined mechanical and chemical pro cess invented by Benjamin C. Mudge, of Lynn, accomplishes the same work in a few hours, and does not sacrifice the sped crop for which some 4,000,- 000 acres of flax are annually planted. The straw, which according to the department of agriculture, is of a bet ter quality than that used abroad, is burned. There will now lie an ever-increas ing market for this straw at a price of about $50 a ton, or only one-fifth of what cotton costs the manufacturer, exclusive of freight. With this ad vantage in tlie lower cost of raw ma terial and the higher prices that can he obtained for the finished product, the linen-making industry is expected to add enormously to the value of American textile production, which for cotton fabrics alone now reaches half a billion dollars a year.
