RIGHT REV. JOHN L. SPALDING. Noted Prelate Who May Be Catholic Archbishop of Chicago. The clergy of the Roman Catholic archdiocese of Chicago have recommended John Lancaster Spalding. Bishop of Peoria, 111., as the most fitting successor to the late Archbishop Feehan. Bishop Spalding has been in charge of the diocese over which he now rules f »r more than a quarter of a century. He has transformed a small, straggling diocese Into a compact, powerful see, pos-essing nearly 250 churches instead of 51. and notable for the size and excellence ..f its college, schools and academies, and having nearly a quarter of a million Catholics within its boundaries. For 250 years the ancestors of Bishop Spalding have lived in America, the first of the name to come to the new world •W I hl 1.1 o I _ I RT. REV.
