WEDNESDAY Was tho Seventy-fifth Anniver sary of Death of Bishop England. Was tho First Catholic Priest to Address tho American Congress. Stood Next to Daniel O'Conncll in Securing Catholic Emancipation. BORN IN THE CITY OF CORK Last Wednesday, April 11, was the seventy-first anniversary of the death of Bishop England, tho first Catholic priest to address Congress. The Right Rev. John England, Bfohop of Charleston, was born in the City of Cork on September 23, 1786, and died In Charleston, S. C, April 11, 1842. That afternoon the Charleston Patriot wrote: "This eminent pre late breathed his last this morning about 5 o'clock. Thus has been ex tinguished in its meridian luster one of tho most brilliant lights of the Catholic church In the Western hemisphere." The Charleston Mercury of April 12 writes: "Ho was a man of rare talents, of various learning, elo quent, public spirited, one equally capable of adorning the walks of private and meeting the emergen- cles of public duty " The Republican' of April 13 writes: "The Bishop was well known In this country and in Eur ope, not only as an enlightened and zealous prelate, but as a profound and elegant scholar." The Catholic Herald writes: "In his death not only has Catholicity to mourn one of her purest and ablest champions, but Christianity one of its most brilliant ornaments, for who that ever listened to 'his defense of his faith and explana tion of his doctrines tout felt Hhat truth from his lips prevailed with double sway.' " The Boston Pilot writes: "Bishop England is dead! None shall again hear him, with a monarch's voice, proclaim xne great aocirines or ine Catholic church. No more shall wo ; see that glorious countenance raaTaTTf'with the halo 'of divine in spiration; never again shall we lis ten to his exalted precepts; no more shall tho mind bow captive to the masculine power of his logic, or the perspicuous and overwhelming splendor of 'his reasoning. That proud and towering intellect that seemed to reach heaven In its flight, and draw proofs of the immaculate purity of his creed from its eternal throne, hath left its earthly tene ment and ascended to its 'kindred element. God hath taken to Him self tho brightest and purest of tho land! him, who like some Christian Jupiter wielded the thunder of truth and went forth to illumine the path of tho desponding mortal; who spoke but to convince, and who shed a glory refulgent with hope around tho sceptic 'heart. All feel that one has gone down to the grave the greatness of whose mind and whose benevolence and elo quent example have ennobled hu man nature. That the earth has closed over one who has stood a pillar of immovable power to the Catholic church of America; whose resplendent genius, mellowed with the sacred influence of his high and holy mission, shone forth in the beauty and majesty of a mind en dowed with more than human in tellect. None can feel the terrible calamity that has fallen upon the ministry of truth and religion but those who have listened to him when pouring forth the reflections of his lofty mind, who have heard his masterly and convincing reason ing, and felt the power of his sublime oratory. Par 'from the land of his kindred, which he loved so well, he slumbers In the tomb, over whose- dust ages may roll, but not produce one so great, so pure, so good.' On ono Occasion he was preach ing at Baltimore. During his stay a lady of rank and refinement vis ited the city to consult a dentist. Tho latter requested her to excuso him that ,day, as he had made an engagement which he was very anx ious to keep. "In fact, madam, Bishop England, the most cele brated preacher in our country, is now In this city, and I had de termined to hear him." The lady fC tVk)aw iiit tint umll frnrvwfnrA how to dispose of her time, thought she could not do better than go and hear the famous preacher. She went, and so strong was the impres sion produced in Tier mind that she became half a Catholic on the spot. On her return Bhe confided to her brother .the change wrought In her opinions respecting the Catholic church. The brother received the intelligence with alarm and indigna tion. But how was he to draw her back from the goal to which sho 'waa hurrying? To convince 'her of what he regarded as her folly he commenced an earnest course of reading and inquiry; and in order to foil the Bishop with his own we pons, he resolved to hear him preach. jHe did go, and such was the power of the preaeher and the honest candor of the listener that the alarmed and Indignant brother was actually received ink), the church before the slater, who was only on the road to ltl From the date of h(s conversion the Catholic church In America had not a bolder or aler champion than William . fc WeBM -ft!. 4kkkkkkLs "" " IkkkkHkn v UHpgJHriHBlk v '!tt"1 wV'flkM'kHkr Jt3.

Was then taught privately for two years, and entered tho Car low College, August 31, 1803. In his nineteenth year 'he becan to deliver catechetical instructions in tho parish chapel and zealously in structed tho soldiers in garrison at uorK. Ho alpo established a female reformatory, together with male and female poor schools. Out of these schools grew tho Presentation Convent. He was ordained priest in Cork, October 10, 18Q9, and was appointed lecturer at the Cathedral. In the same year he published the "Religious Repertory," established a circulating library in tho parish of St. Mary, Shandon, and attended the city jail. In tile elections of 1812 he fearlessly exerted his in fluence, maintaining that "in vindi cating tho political rights of his countrymen ho was but asserting their liberty of conscience." In 1814 ho vigorously and successfully assailed with tongue and pen the insidious veto measure which threat ened disaster to tho church in Ire land. Next to O'Cqnnell's, his in fluence was the greatest in the agitation which culminated in Cath olic emancipation. To help this cause -he founded the Chronicle, which he continued to edit until he left Ireland. In 1817 ho was ap pointed parish priest of Bandon After three years in Bandon he was promoted to the episcopal see of Charleston. CARDINAL TO PATRIOTS. Cardinal O'Connell, of Boston, Issued a statement Monday night, calling upon tho nation to rise .from its knees, bended during holy week, and "hasten now to act." "There is but one sentiment per missible today that sentiment is absolute unity," he said. "Our country is at war our nation therefore needs us all, every man, woman and child of us, to strengthen her, to hearten her, and to stand faithfully by her until her hour of trial has passed and her hour of glorious triumph shall ar rive. So up from our knees! Our souls have gathered stiength of sacrifice from theslght of Calvary. God and our nation! Lot us lift up that cry from heaven. Neither base hate nor sullen anger may dim the glory of our flag. But let 'the love of true freedom blessed, God- given freedom which above all other lands our country has cher ished and defended let that be the thrilling power that will quicken our pulse's into a still greater love of America than wo have ever Jcnown till now. "We are of all races; today we are one Americans. Whatever we can do In honor and justice, that we must in conscience do to defeat our enemies and mako our flag tri umphant. Christ is risen. He has triumphed over iniquity and death. Let us look up to where He now sits In glory and read anew from the story of his Passion and his triumph the greatest of all lessons man can ever learn that evil is conquered only by divine courage, that death has no terrdrs for the man of faith, and that not all the riches of this world are worth a passing thought in comparison with the things which enduro forever. Let us hasten now to act. We have spoken enough. May God preserve and bless Amerfca." SUPRISE WEDDING.

Preachers' Song of Evultation Uas Changed to Wail of Sorrow. They Are Now Indignant nnd Clamorus .For Simple Justice. FORMING A RELIGIOUS LOBBY All Americans who are not Demo crats know that a particularly sav age revolution has been in progress in Mexico for several years. The Democrats will learn the fact as soon as the Republicans get into office, exclaims tho editor of Amer ica.. Among the people cognizant of this upheaval beyond tho Rio Grande are several itinerant preach ers, their wives and their progeny. As usual these latter folk, babies Included, are the only ones who know anything about the dire con ditions that obtain beyond tho bor der. They know the leaders of tho revolution, they know the men in arms, they know tho political, economic and social causes underly ing the disorder, they know all about everything and everybody. Carranza and his Generals are fine upstanding men fighting for light, freedom, morality, religion; heroes, every one of them, striving to put the principles of the "Reformation" Into effect foe- Mexico's benefit; the soldiers, dear boys, are only react ing against oppression, and the political, economic and social causes of the war are summed up in one word, Rome, it least that vas so about a year ago, when Villa and Carranza were flirting with tho evangelists. It is not true now. Tho flirtation Is over; Carranza is seated more or legs securely, and tho preachers, their wives and their progeny can no longer look into his dreamy Southern eyes and read therein the conquest of the "Scarlet Woman." It Is a short story just this: Tho Mexican constitution confis cates every foot and stick of Protestant mission property, and tne indignant preachers are clam orous for justice. The shoo is now on their foot, and the pressure is unbearable. It was a joyous sight to see Rome crushed. At the time that God was blasphemed, churches desecrated, priests murdered and Sisters maltreated, two preachers flitted through our country, singing or the new kingdom of glory into which Protestantism was to come through the guns and daggers of ruffians. But their song of exulta tion has been changed to a wall of sorrow. According to the Brooklyn Eagle of March 26 tho preachers havo coniq together to resist Car ranza, and the Mexican Congress is to ibe "confronted by a moat pow erful religious lobby In which all creeds will bo represented." "It Is planned to assemble all the mis sionaries of Mexico at Mexicq City, to make an orderly demonstration against the measure." Then Robert E. Sneer uprose and spoke: "The language of tho constitution Is plain. There can be no mistake about the purpose of those who drafted it. It means simply that after the first of May the Govern ment of Mexico becomes the abso lute owner of all religious -property in Mexico. It doesn't matter whether this consists of churches or hospitals, convents or parsonages. This doesn't neeeeearKy mean that the Tellglous Institutions will be suppressed. Indeed this wasn't the purpose of the framers of the con stitution. 'It means simply that the Government .'1)1 reserve the right to nomo the conditions under which religious worship si all be conducted and the use to which tho property of religious organizations shall bo put. To continuo tejworshlp or con duct business in ttfe .buildings which the Government will take over, pro viding tho constitution is permitted to stand, It wlll-fte necessary for the denomlnatlonsjhsffected to rent or lease what wag originally their own property. There is nothing ap parently In the constitution which obligates the Government even to take this course, -but this 'conces sion' Is implied." H When this Infamous law hit Rome It was a rlgateous deed done to Babylon by rugged saints. But when the revolution menaced Prot estantism ah, that's another story! So it is, and it begins thus: Some of tho devil's dupeswear white ties and carry a Bible. jfj RECENT DJEATIIS.

GOVERNOR Stanley Will Soon nave Time to Counter Haly-Beckham Plans. Prohibitionist Democrats Plan to Bring Billy Sunday Here. Candidate Bruinlevc Is Badly Advised Iii Opinion of Many. CORNER DUNCAN NOT ELIGIBLE With the adjournment of the Legislature, which takes place shortly, It is expected that Gov. Stanley and his friends will take a hand in the political deals now going on throughout Kentucky, and the friends of tho State administra tion say that an awful jolt will be given to the plans of the Haly Beckham clique, which has been at tempting to dictate the nominations in Democratic circles. Beaten at every turn In their attempt to block tax reform, thereby discredit ing tho Governor, It is now the in tention of tho antl-adminlstration crowd to control if possible tho election machinery throughout the State, and to that end they have centered their attention on the Sheriff's race in pretty nearly every county where the Democratic party Is dominant. Thus far this plan has progressed smoothly enough be cause of legislative matters taking up the time of Gov. Stanley and his friends, but it is a foregone con clusion that with tho adjournment of the Legislature soma bombshells will be thrown into that plan. Unfortunately right hero in Jef ferson county the Haly-Beckham plan of capturing the Democratic nomination for Sheriff has pro gressed to the extent that local ranks are more dn danger of dis ruption than for many years past, and murmurs of discontent against the proposal to nominate a Haly- Beckman man for Sheriff are heard In every gathering. Tho plan to give Jefferson county's vote to Beckham in 1914 out of gratitude to the Evening Post for Its' fight in behalf of the municipal ticket caused the first breach in local Democracy's ranks, which had been solidified since the campaign of 1909, and although It was a bitter pill to swallow for many Democrats some 4,000 did so and for their pains were given an awful double cross by Beckham and JIaly ithe fol lowing year, when they brought out McChesney for Governor on a pro hibition platform against Jefferson county's favorite son, Lieut. Gov. E. J. McDermott. It is now the Intention of the prohibition Democrats to bring Billy Sunday here just previous to the next Governor's race, and to that end It Is Tumored that Haly and Beckham's local representative, whom everybody knows because of his dally plunges in the limelight with religion, war, prohibition or any old subject for an excuse, Is now fathering tho plan to bring Sunday here. All of this only em phasizes the fact that local .Democ racy must steer clear of the Haly Beckham selection for Sheriff or any other office, and if this course Is not pursued widespread dlssen Blon will be the result. To begin with, Gov. Stanley and his friends are not going to sit Idly by and al low an open and avowed enemy In the important office of Sheriff, nor are the Haldemans and the Courier Journal and TlnHa expected to enthuse- over a ticket with a Haly Beckham man for Sheriff, the high est office In Wie county. It is a certainty that the liquor men, wholesale and retail, (will not pull the Halr-Beekham chestnuts out of ithe fire, and when it is Haken into consideration that every Democratic paper in Louisville, English or Ger man, with tho exception of one, op poses that nomination, it is tlmo for local Democrats to heed the warning sign, "Stop, 'look and lis ten." Tho real friends of Mr. Brum leve, Democratic candidate for Mayor, should advise him to dis continue Tunning to tho press, and especially the Republican press, with his grievances or supposed-to-be grievances against Sheriff Cro nanr his rival candidate. In the opinion of many Mr. Cronan is entitled to pursuo his own wishes In the manner of his canvass, and If Mr. Brumleve can not find any greater excuso for protesting he should hold his peace. As stated before in these columns, Mr. Brum leve would make more friends by telling the voters what he would do Is elected 'Mayor, his methods of reform, etc., and In the event of his defeat there would be no sore spots to heal in local Democracy. It is tho writer's opinion that tho Brum leve candidacy has gained no ground and surely can not gain enough to defeat Mr. Cronati, which makes it all the more advisable that he and his real friends change their present stylo of canvass. There Is nothing but tho best of feeling for 'Mr. Brumleve ntfd his friends among tho bulk of the lo cal Democrats and it goes without saying that all aro desirous of see ing a fair and square primary in August. It is being stated pretty author atively that Coroner Ellis Duncan Is not eligible for re-election on several grounds, and this fact is liable to hrlng a good field in the Coroner's raco in tho next few weeks. Dr. Duncan's service in tho regular army, which Is just now be ginning, will bring him. a big fat salary for the next few years at least, and coupled with the fact that he has been away for nearly a year previous to this1, it would bo pretty good politics for the Demo crats to nominate some one on the ground. Those who know say the Government legulatlons are pretty strict on this point and do not al low a commissioned officer to hold another salaried public office. CATHOLIC KNIGHTS. St. John's Hall, Clay and Wal nut, was well filled Wednesday night when the Central Committee of the Catholic Knights of America held the monthly meeting. Presi dent Will Cushlng occupied the chair, and the invitation of Presi dent Fleck to all members and their lady friends to attend the meeting of the Social Club at the Knights of Columbus Hall, In connection with tho formation of a woman's branch, was accepted. Earnest talks were made by Gen. Relchert, Col. McGinn, Petor J. Dowllng and Peter Buchhoit. The matter of the anniversary celebration on May 20, when the ladies' branch will be In stituted by Supremo President Gau den and Supreme Trustee Michael Quinn, was left with the Social Club, who will bo aided by tho en tire Central Committee. After a social half hour adjournment was taken and all present proceeded to the home of Emll Stein, a charter member of Branch -C, where pray ers for the dead were recited. MONSTER PARADE.

JSarly Records of America ShriV Activity in Caring For the Sick. Facts That Are Unfamiliar ty the Majority of Our Poonlc. ANOTHER PROTESTANT TRIBUTE Tho world war while focusing the attention of the masses upon tho activities of the great armies has also brought into prominence the more merciful and benignant career of tho nurse. It will be of tlmoly Interest therefore to hear facts un familiar to the majority of our peo ple concerning the history and de velopment of nursing in our coun- iry:.H.?ro aBa,a we caa turn with justifiable satisfaction to the pages of a recently published book by a non-Catholic and read from the pen of an outsider a remarkable tribute to tho work Which tho r.niirnh ,hr.a accomplished in this field. In "Health Nursing," by Mary Sewall Gaidner, R, N., we are told that 'In America, as In EneinnH iu sick have been cared for by nuns and Sisters, both in and out of nospiiais, since tho earliest settle ment days. One can not road nf th hardships so heroically endured by tho Sisters in their efforts to nurso tho Indians in Canada in the first nan oi ino seventeenth century without thrills of admiration, and at an even earlier date Spanish nuns were at work in the hospitals of Mexico." Herein our author but corrobor ates tho testimony of Charles F. uoomis, who records in his "The Awakening of a Nation" that a royal hospital for Indians was founded In Mexico in 1553, that in the great epidemic of 1762 this same hospital cared for 8.3 G2 ner- sons; that besides this there wero mqny other hospitals founded in various parts of Mexico before our own country was anything more than a very primitive colonial set tlement. Summing up their work Loomls exclaims: "No other nation (than Spain) has founded sp ex tensively such beneficiaries iu its colonies, and few colonies have built so well upon their Inherit ance. Wo may pick flaws In these Institutions as administered while we wero hanging witches, but tho Institutions wero there and aro there yet." Miss Gardner In turn bears out Loomls in this his last assertion when sho states that: "The Pllgrira fathers and mothers wore made of different material, and came to tho new world 'for other reasons than those which brought their French aud Spanish neighbors. They came to make for themselves homes, and their religion took llttlo heed of the Indian or the state of his soul. Among the early Canadian settlors on the other hand were Jesuit priests, who came for the solo pur pose of converting the savages and saw In the nursing skill of tho Sis ters an Important means to that end." Even so impoitant a settlement as Montreal was Intended prlmarlly not so much as a center for trade as a gathering point for the activi ties of faith and mercy. For as our author continues, "Montreal came Into existence as a mission consist ing of three communities, ono of priests to manage tho affairs of tho colony, one of nuns to teach tho faith to the children, and ono of Sisters to nurse the sick; and all this arranged In obedience to what was believed to bo a direct revela tion of God, before there was any colony to manage, and children to teach or any sick to nurse." What a glaring contrast to this picture of devotion to the Catholic Ideal of charity and mercy, and for that matter to Catholic efficiency, is that offered to us when we aro told In the same chapter of tho devel opment of nursing in New England. "The newly established communities in the English colonies, however, wero not loilg without their sick, and aa the little villages grew pro vision was made in hospitals Tho first, Blockey in Philadelphia and Bellevuo In New York, were started as what wo would now call poor houses, and dreadful indeed was their nursing history. No tales of the cruel neglect of English alms house nursing of the same period can exceed those that can bo told of these two hospitals. Lurid pic tures como down to us of drunken attendants fighting like furies over the beds of their patients, or lying In sodddn unconsciousness besides the bodies of' tho dead." Thus we see that Jn this so Im portant field of charity tho church hoi a record splendid indeed. It need but bo kpown to command the reverence and gratitude of all truly Interested in tho welfare of insti tutions which make for the better ment and ennoblement of our race. C. B. of C. Y.
