VOLUME XXXI.-NO. 20. AMERICAN 1EISI. BUSCHEMEYER Takes Up Itelgnsof City Govern ment On Next Tuesday Morning. .Much Speculation Hclng Indul ged In as to Probable Ap pointments. Talk of Contest' Confined to Law yers and 81eutlis Scenting Fees. TOM M'DONOUGH'S APPOINTMENT Mayor-elect John H. Buschemeyer will be sworn In next Tuesday with all the pomp and ceremony that can be given by an enthusiastic Democ racy. Immediately after Ills Induc tion into office he will announce bis appointments on the Board of Public Works and Board of Public Safety, of which there is much present speculation and many guesses are being made as to the probable appointments, with John D Wakefield, John W. Klein, Charles B. Mllllken, Joseph Nevln and Lewis Humphrey as popular selections for the Board of Works, while Edward T. Tlerney, Al M. Emler, Rush Watklns, William P. McDonogh, George W. Berry and Judge Muir Welsslnger are men tioned for the Board of Safety. As for the other appointments of the Mayor there are hundreds of applicants, although not many offices to be filled, owing to the fact that many now in office are good Democrats and worked faithfully for the success of the ticket, In addition to the fact that some of the appllr cants have only become enthusiastic Democrats since the evening of November 4. As an example, one of the candidates for a place on the Board of Safety, whose name Is not mentioned In the above list. Is bavlng his claims urged by a Dromlnent Bull Mooser and close trlend of Jake Haager's, and inci dentally Is trying to persuade organized labor to back him up In his exhibition of nerve. Democrats in general are pleassd at the election of Tom McDonough as Clerk of the Board of Aldermen, his energetic services In" this cam-1 palgn and previous ones entitling him to the best in the Democratic locker, and it goes without saying that he will prove an able and capable official In Ills new berth. Ray Flanagan, his successor as Quarterly Clerk, while light In weight, is heavy with Democracy and is busy receiving congratula tions on his appointment. "Billy" Dennes and Tom O'Connell will be sworn In as deputies to Police Court Clerk Will Holley next Tuesday, and these representatives from German town and Limerick respectively are sure to make their chief's reign popular in the Boldrlck domain. John Malley, who has 'been stenog rapher to Chief LIndsey, has been appointed Secretary of the detective department to succeed the late Ed Mackey, and this bright young man Is sure to make his mark in the "sleuth's stronghold. The local Progressives have been dying hard this past week, the talk of contesting the election being kept alive by a few lawyers who are Interested from a possible fee, and a few detectives who scent a pos- sible Job of securing evidence for the contest if Axton can be shaken down again, or a few of our mis guided citizens, who may have been tooled by the Herald's wild-eyed stories of election thefts, which were not substantiated, especially during the count, which increased Buschemeyer's majority, can be made to produce the coin. As for the motley crew which filled the Hopkins' balcony last Saturday evening and were busy crying "Burn the City Hall," etc., are our same little old Junior Order boys who attended tha former Moone gatherings and cried "Down with Rome" and who gathered at the polls on election morn armed with staves and broomsticks. Keep your weather eye oil this crew in esse of war with Mexico, as they will be found hiding la the shadow of the , little red schoolhouse while tbey leave the fighting to the b'oody Catholic foreigners, especially those of Irish and German descent. Another amusing feature of the after-election events is the c I rela tion of anonymous letters by for mer Grinstead office-holder, who makes a specialty of this sort of campaigning, but never with any success. His latest stunt Is to send threatening letters to the wife or sister of some Democratic worker, threatening prosecution If an ex planation is not given for alleged frauds in the recent election, and everyone familiar with local politics Is laughing in his sleeve at this wornout stunt of the former official, who has his office In the neighbor hood of Fifth and Jefferson streets. CATHOLIC CHARITIES. The third biennial meeting of the National Conference of Catholic Charities will be held at the Catholic University in Washington during the nonth of September, 1914.

In commemoration of the act of Constantlne the Great, by which freedom, was given to all persons who professed the Christian faith, the Rev. Patrick Walsh, pastor of the Sacred Heart church. Seven teenth and Broadway, has arranged for a public trlduum and retreat for his congregation and Catholics gen erally, which will open next Wednes day evening at 7:80 o'clock and close the following Sunday. This law was laid down In the year 813, and the Catholic world is celebrating the sixteenth centennary of a law that has meant much to Christianity since that time. The indulgence granted by the Pope In honor of this centennary Is being gained in one church after the other by the spe cial three-day services being held. Rev. Father Cyril, C. P., of the Passlonlst Monastery, will conduct the retreat and deliver a special course of sermons. Masses will be celebrated every morning at 6:30 and 7:30 o'clock, followed by short Instruction, and the night services and sermon will be at 7:30. Father Cyril, who is an eloquent Passlonlst pulpit orator, will deliver the night discourses, opening Wednesday and concluding Sunday, their order be ing as follows: "The Vital Ques tion," "A Dreadful Peril," "The Tragedy of Life," "The Mercy of God" and "The Call of Life." It Is expected that every member of the congregation will avi.ll themselves of this opportunity to make the Jubilee and gain the blessing of Its Indulgences. The ladies of the Altar Society will spare no pains in beautifying the sanctuary and with the new electric lights the church will present an edifying and brilliant scene. MOURN HIS DKATH.

FLAMES Do Serious Damage to the Inte rior of St. Paul's Church. Father Thomas York Itcaches the Altar and Saves Sacred Vessels. Fire Itaged Two Hours and De vours the Work of Years. LOSS WILL REACH THOUSANDS Catholics and citizens generally were given a terrible shock Tuesday evening when the news spread that St. Paul's church on Jackson street, between St. Catherine and Kentucky, of which the Rev. Thomas York is the beloved and hard working pastor. was in flames and threatened with destruction. The fire raged for nearly two hours, doing damage that will fell between 17,000 and $10,000. It? origin has not yet been learned, but it. is believed sparks from the fur nace in some manner ignited the woodwork. The church was valued at over $15,000, and the loss is only partly covered by insurance. Father York and Henry T. Brown, a neighbor, were talking In the front yard of the priest's residence when tbey noticed smoke issuing from the belfry, at the same time flames bursting through the roof. An alarm of fire was turned in from the nearest telephone while Father York made heroic effort and succeeded In reach Ing the altar and in saving the host and sacred vessels. Ke was able to make but the one trip, the smoke and intense heat driving him out. Mr. Brown also displayed great heroism and succeeded in saving a number of articles. . Before the flames were sub dued they invaded the sanctuary and destroyed the altar and the handsome and valuable statuary that added to Its beauty. When Assistant Fire Chief Cassin arrived on the scene with the No. 3 truck be saw the seriousness of the blaze and sounded a second alarm summoning a number of additional engines and the No. 2 truck. By hard sork the firemen prevented the com plete deBtr'uctlon6f llie "church after a fight of nearly two hours, witnessed by several hundred persons who had gathered from surrounding homes. Father York has made a grand struggle for St. Paul's congregation his efforts being crowned with success and the church being rapidly freed from debt. The loss will fall heavIV fipon him and his people, as It wipes out the labor of years. , There is some cc nsolatlon, however, in the fact that the rectory and school house that ad joined the, church edifice escaped the dames. For Father York there Is felt the most sincere sympathy 1y his brother priests and the laity gen erally. Wednesday many called upon blm to speak words of encouragement and from all quarters came messages that will help him recover from the blow that would have prostrate! many stronger men. What steps will be taken to repair the damage have not yet been de cided, but tomorrow the congregation will worship in St. Philip Neri's church, Floyd and Woodbine, Father Ackermann having generously ten dered the use of his church until Father York and his people can re turn to St. Paul's. The masses for St. Philip Neri's congregation will bo at 7 and 10:45 o'clock, and for St. Paul's at 8:15 and 10 o'clock, the evening services for both congre gations to be held at 7:30 o clock. Father York and the Trustees win most likely decide their course within the next few days, and the Kentucky Irish American calls upon the people of Louisville to lend them all the at-sistance In their power.

CALIFORNIA Honors Franciscan Priest Who Founded First Mission There. The Centenary of the Itlrth of Father Serra and Its , Celebration. November 24 Declared n Legal Holiday ly Governor Johnson. SAVED TEN THOUSAND INDIANS The centenary of the birt'h of Father Serra, who founded the first mission In San Francisco, will bo celebrated by Catholic societies throughout the United States, and especially by those of California, where November 24 has been de clared a legal holiday by Gov. Johnson. The remarkable and heroic missionary zeal of the Cath olic missionaries, to whom America Is Indebted so largely for the dis covery and exploration of this con tinent and opening It up to civilized occupation, has' drawn forth most eloquent tributes of admiration from non-Catholic historians and must stand forever as monuments of the beneficent influences of the Catholic church in America. We have noted in these columns h iw all the discoveries from the North, East and South, and down the Mississippi, have been made by Catholic pioneers and missionaries and this date, which marks the first Catholic mission established on the Pacific coast, reminds us that the first steps taken In opening up the Far West to civilized influences were made by the same Catholic pioneers of religion and civilization. The founder of San Francisco and the apostle of California was the pious Franciscan, Father France J. Serra. He was born on the Island of Majorca, in the Mediterranean, on November 24, 1713. He was educated by the Franciscan fathers find at the age of sixteen became a member of the order. His native talents developed most rapidly and he rose to high distinction in the order and became a professor of theology, -honoring U title be stowed upon him no less by his pious example than by his brilliant attainments. Like Fathers Le Crron, Marquette and others, he possessed the missionary Bpirlt and resolved to seek In the New World a field of labor befitting his zealous spirit. After a stormy passage he reached Mexico, and on foot pene trated to the capital, In company with a party of fellow members of tho order, reaching the palace of the Montezumas on New Year's day, 1750. He labored here for many years among the tribes of the Sierra uorda, and was arterward ap pointed Superior of the band of priests devoted to missionary labor in Lower California. In 1789 he accompanied the military expedition of Galvez with three other Franciscans into Upper California, now known as the State of California, die established his first mission at San Diego on the landing of the expedition. Mass was celebrated in a tent, in front, of which a large wooden cross was raised. The Indians were pro moted by presents and kindly treatment, and the priests began to learn their language and to teach them civilized methods of living, and in time thousands of the Indians embraced the faith and conformed to Its obligations with all the fervor of their nature. At the very time when the Declaration of Independence was being drafted in Philadelphia those faithful priests were founding a mission 3,000 miles to the West on the extreme boundary of the con tinent, on June 7, 1776, on the present site of San Francisco, which takes its name from the historic event. The first building erected on the site of the present beautiful city was dedicated to the worship of God under the patronage of St. Francis. Father Serra continued his holy work for eight years, laboring among the savage tribes. Before his death he had established ten missions and about 10,000 Indians had been baptized. At last he be came conscious that death was ap proaching. He went with trembling steps to the little church, and on bis knees received the holy com munion. He gave 'word ta the car penter of the mission to make his coffin. He was assisted back to his bed and soon after peacefully passed away. His death was mournsd with every expression of profound sorrow by all the missions und by the . Spanish authorities In the war vessels In the harbor. He died on August 29, 1784, at the age of seveuty-one years. ALUMNI HOLDS ELECTION.

ULSTER Muddle Makes Parties Appear to He Further Apart Than Ever. Carson Will Have No Compro mise and Still Talks War. His Kebhelllon Would He Pn Down In Forty-Klght Hours. MUCH MUST BE DISCOUNTED We have had another week of oratorlal orgy without getting much forward, cables T. P. O'Connor to the American Press. This Is largely due of course to the fact that everybody's attention has been concentrated on the four bye-elec tions and the further fact that these elections If they go very much to one side or the other are bound to . have a potent influence on the fata of parties and of measures during the next momentous twelve months. In these oratorical utterances we have receded from Instead of ad vancing toward any mutual accom modation, and this week leaves the parties much further apart, than last week. . Sir Edward Carson Is shouting louder than ever If that be pos sible. He says he will have no compromise and still talks bravely about civil war. Mr. Balfour sur prised everybody . by making a speech which, though not openly adopting Carson s tactics, utilized them as an insuperable obstacle to home rule and at the bye-elections the smaller Tory fry follow the leaders in still giving full encour agement to the Orange extremists. Much must be discounted In all of this as inevitable in keen election eering. Much will be dropped, or continued on the same note, as the elections turn out well or ill for each party, but for the moment un doubtedly things look more war like and the Orangemen seem some what encouraged by recent develop ments. - Tha HAnnr Tnrioa bH11 inna tt la possible that they might tfit ,sis concessions even concessions be yond what the. Nationalists think good for the future either of Ire land or Ulster, such as borne rule Within home 'rule, as suggested by Sir Edward Grey, but either perma nent or temporary exclusion of the four counties would be rejected by the Nationalists even if there were a risk of postponing home rule for several years. There is no such risk, but if necessary the Nation alists would face it rather than see Ireland mutilated, even for a brief period. The Orangemen probably will damage the chance of any big concession by their folly and bigotry. They now, however, begin to realize that Mr. Asqulth and the other Ministers are not frightened by the threats of civil war and are ready it occasion should arise to meet force with force. Nobody doubts that If Sir Edward Carson should attempt to carry out his programme his "rebellion" would be put down In forty-eight hours. It is also known that Car son can not command one-tenth of. the force he boasts If things should coce to extremes, and further that the shopkeepers and bankers of Belfast and every business man out side of some fanatical shipbuilders and linen manufacturers Vould re fuse to Join In the commercial ruin of Belfast. On the necessity .and the determination to put down civil war with a string hand the feeling among the rank and file of Liberals, and the British masses generally, Is even sterner and more united than among the Liberal Ministers. As. yet I have not found during my prolonged tour through England and Scotland the least inclination to yield to the Orangedamor. I find, on the contrary, that feeling Is hard ening dally against Ulster. The situation thus remains unchanged amid the turmoil of the bye-elections and the fervid electioneering talk, and the prospect still is that, while continuing to bluff up to the last moment, and perhaps even officially standing out, Sir Edward Carson will b compelled by the English Tory leaders to accept som . concessions which will save his neck and his face. The shrill, shouting, braggart defiance will be kept up till the last moment, but negotia tions continue under - the surface, and though the final agreement may be postponed until even the moment h.r,.,. .hA knma rut. Kill la nlai'ori on the statute book, it will be placed there all the same, and with the tacit aBsent of the English Tory leaders. If Carson still growls he will grew) alone.
