In this connection it iniiyht' be said that the clorpy of the diocese of Denver are unanimous in their d.sitv that the j Jiriiim- of being the successor to the I worthy archbishop of Santa Fe fall j I upon the Jlight Rev. Bishop N. Matz, I who as bishop of Denver lias Miccess- I llillv ininiBtfi-p In i)ip ?vpv -alhnlir Ipopulatioji of the state of Colorado. Although the archdiocese of Santa Fe embraces the state of Colorado, the archbishop has had little of the care of I this state upon his shoulders. Bishop I Matz having kept a watchful eye over j very parish in his jurisdiction. For I this reason Colorado did not know I Archbishop Bouregarde personally, but this fame as an administrator of church affairs and a counsellor of the sick of oul was widespread, j Archbishop Bouregarde went to Hot I ' Springs, Ark., a few weeks ago In the I hope of recuperating his strength. His j health had been failing for some time, i He seemed on the road to recovery; f when he left Hot Springs early this I month and went to Chicago. It was J there that he died on Sunday last. The fatal illness lasted but one dav, and i during the visit of the archbishop in Chlrago he had seemed in fairly good I health and drove out every day." Sun- 1 clay he had a sinking spell and suc cumbed to heart failure. Father S. ! Gates, chaplain of the hospital, and Father Thomas Caraher. a patient at the hospital where Archbishop Boure-; Boure-; garde was. were at the bedside when "!-,e end come. Bishop Bouregarde was one of the pioneer priests in the southwest. south-west. He was a native of France, but j came to this country in 1S6P. settling in Arizona, then in a wild and wooly ! Ptate of existence. There were onlv three priests in the whole territorv when Father Bouregarde undertook his ' labors there. He was first stationed at I Tuilia. then at San Elizario, and Silver 1 f'i'v. M. In 1SS5 when Archbishop I Salpointe took charge of the Santa Fe I fr-ee. Father Bouregarde was made vicar apostolic of Arizona. In 1SS the vicar- a,e was made into a regular diocese J "'lth the seat at Tucson, and Father I Bouregarde became its first bishop. It ! waf; i;i 1889 that his holiness. Pope Leo XIII, officially transferred the bishop from the diocese of Tucson to the Metropolitan Met-ropolitan see of Santa Fe. Bishop Matz went down from Denver for the ceremony, cere-mony, at which the title of archbishop was conferred on Bishop Bouregarde. I Six nu.nths later the archbishop was i invested with the pallium at the hands of Bishop Matz in the cathedral of St. I ' Francis of Santa Fe. The two church- I men were fast friends. . I Bishop Matz left Denver on Tuesday I "f this week for Santa Fe to attend the I funeral of the archbishop., whose body I Mas brought from Chicago that it ! might be interred close to the scene of his apostolic efforts. He inten'Qed to rt main in New Mexico a week. Six years ago a coadjutor to the archbishop .f Santa Fe was selected I " "r 'viciw a I large and the labor attendant Upon its case arduous. This honor fell to Father Fa-ther John i Baptist Pitaval. a priest of th diocese of Denver. He was. consecrated conse-crated at Santa Fe in the summer of I 1Q(I-: Bishop- Pitaval has endeared him- I f'!f to the people of the archdiocese, I 5"'1" 'he broader experience of Bishop I Matz makes him a more likely candi- I la, for the archbishopric. Although t Denver and the state generally would "'i" him. there would be consolation in 'he fact that he had been the re- f eipiont of a high honor.
