Albany, N. Y., Aug. 1.—Several thousand Catholics, representing the Albany diocese, left here and nearby points on a pilgrimage to the shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre, Quebec. IRISH IMMIGRATION STATIS TICS. The registrar-general's return of the number of natives of Ireland who left Irish parts during April shows that the total number was 5,114, as compared with 6,171 in April of 1913, a decrease of 1,027. The total number of emigrants for the. first four months of the present year was 7,801. In the same period last year the number was 9,892, which shows a decrease for the pres ent year so far of 2,091 persons. Of the 7,801 emigrants for the pres ent year, 1,004 went from Leinster, a decrease of 153 as compared with the corresponding period in 1913 2,046 went from Munster, a decrease of 1,458 and 2,213 from Con naught, a decrease of 247. Of the 3,985 steerage passengers to the United States, 1,297 had their pas sages paid for in America. PRIEST-MAYOR TO SPEAK. Watlienu, Kas., Will Hear Priest Who Hold Unique Position. The Wathena-St. Joseph Chau tauqua should prove to be a hummer this year. They are advertising the most unique feaeture ever staged on a Chautauque circuit. This is the bulletin they eare' sending broad cast over the state of Kansas, says the Register. "Father Patrick Dunigan of La peer, Mich., will deliver one of his notable lectures the second day. Father Dunigan is the only priest mayor in America, being the chief execeutlve of Lapeer." Priests are becoming quite promi nent in civic works of all kinds, but Father Dunigan is the first priest In recent years who has been elected mayor of any of our American cities. A number of cities have depended upon a strong character from the priesthood to keep the town clean as was recently evidenced by the New Jersey town*that closed its doors and mourned during the funeral cere mony of its "good boss," Father Mallon. The American Magazine in a re cent article had this to say of the distinguished priest-mayor: "If you should ever visit Lapeer, Mich., probably the first place you would, be shown would be thfe home of Reverend Father Dunigan, located on the liill over looking the city and nestling beside the church. This for two reasons, first because the oc cupant is one of the most hospitable men that ever drove the skeleton from the feast, and second, becatise he is Lapeer's foremost citizen her Big Man, Father Patrick R. Dunigan is the only Catholic" priest-mayor in America, perhaps in the world. He is the executive of a city that Is over whelmingly Protestant, whose Cath olic population is but three ^er cent, of the town's four thousand inhabi efficient official the city had ever had in its history. Of the 721 votes cast at the election, only 31 were Catho lic. His election was due solely to the personality and character of the •nan to his labors as a citizen for the common good of the community. Father Dunigan stands six feet tall, weighs around two hundred pounds, and has the appearance and activity of an athlete. He has clear, blue, Irish eyes a broad, generous kindly mouth and a substantial jaw. His parish embraces a country about forty square miles, and among the towns in it are Davison, Inilay City, Metamora, Oxford, Otter Lake, Columbiavllle, Hadley, Elba, Attica and Lapeer. He alternates between his churches in these places, attending as many as the weather and roads will permit. Tlirouch mud and snow and ra*.n he shuttles back and forth across the kingdom, visiting the sick and burying (he dead. There are marriages and christenings disputes to settle, ad vice to give—admonitions, and praise, sometimes. He is the type of man you me it but seldom in a lifetime, and the meeting leaves you with a cherished memory. CHANGING FATHERS. When St. Francis, directed by the light of divine grace, began to dis tribute his substance among the poor he was summoned before the bishop who ordered him to sign a paper re nouncing his right to his father's estate, lest he should also give that away after the latter's death. Francis complied willingly, and then taking off his garments he laid them at his father's feet saying: "Hitherto I have always during life called thee father. Henceforth I can say, with much more truth and satisfaction of mind, 'Our Father Who art in Heaven,' for in His hands I hare deposited all my treas -ty. ure in Him are now placed all hopes and expectations." Ever afterwards his father continued to curse him. So Francis took a poor, despised old man, adopted him as his father in Christ fed, clothed and sheltered him—on the one condition that he would bless St. Francis each time that he was cursed by his own un kind father. SOME CLAIMS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. In a late number of the Catholic World, Bertram C. A. Windle, M. D., F. R. S., a brilliant Irishman (among the many) has a remarkable article on "The Intellectual Claims of the Catholic Church," in which he shows that those who take the trouble to study it in the dry light of science, will soon discover that our church, from the intellectual standpoint, is just as much a matter for marvel and for thankfulness as it Is from any of the many other standpoints from which it may be viewed." Mr. Windle does not deal with all the claims our church has on the minds of the intellectual, but he gives a few facts which that most objectionable of creatures, the "superior person," would do well to study, as far as his intellect will permit him. Without taking our bearings from Mr. Windle directly or solely, we think we can (and may), name of the church's claims, as follows: (a) She is the only Church Christ founded, even if Wattaker's almanac names more than a hundred sects for England alone. (b) She is the only One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church— even if Chiniquy's books, Rev. Clot, Mother Eddy and Deacon Jasper Johnson say the contrary. (c) She is the only church whose ministrations reach the childien of all nations, a matter belonging to her Catholicity, but solely disp:t'd by the founders of the Campbellitcs. (d) Her philosophy and theology presuppose in those who study them some education. They were never meant to be understood by self-or dained exhorters or setf-iminortai ized sciolists. (e) The greatest poets, literateurs, scientists, general scholars, philoso phers have, in 90 per cent of the cases, been Catholics. .What was Pasteur? What is Lorenz, Van Roentgen, etc.? (f) Even Darwin got his cue from the Schoolmen. (g) The great scientists who are not Catholics are not Protestants either they are Infidels. So are the best theologians outside of the Church. Catholic argument, when it does not win them, at least "smokes (h) The Catholic Church is the only one where poor and rich, ignor ant and learned, feel equally at home (i) She Is the onoly Church which can win a Newman, a Manning, a Von Stolberg, a Schlegal, a Brown son, etc. (j) She is the only Church, as Comte de Mun says, who can give God's answer to the agitated social body. (k) She is the only Church that can boast of hundreds of thousands of monks and nuns. What is the sacrifice of a Christian Endeavorer when compared with that of the priest, brother and nun among the lepers? (1) She is the only Church that tries to save the Child. (m) The only Church that has civilized the world. Here and there others turned up, once the savages lost their thirst for blood. (n) There is even, as the late Father A. F. Hewitt, C. S. P., once said, a distinct charm in the word "Catholic" for those who retain the Christian tone and temper of mind. (o) She is the only Church infidels find worth fighting. (p) Christ was fought by all classes of men in Jerusalem His Church has inherited the common hatred of all heretics, infidels, Jews and schismatics. (q) The unbroken chain of her Popes forms the backbone of general history. Luther is dead, but there is still a Pope. (r) The Church, as Archbishop Hughes once said Is not a foreigner on any continent or Island of this globe. (s) She Is the only Church that can speak with authority, and the only Church that truly respect!) the Pible. (t) She has given the artist, the musician, the sculptor, the archi tect, etc., their noblest themes, the themes that Immortalized them. (u) She is the only Church that deserves the common hatred of such blackguards as Luther. Calvin, Hen ry VIII., Zwlngli and Knox, and such cads as Chiniquy, Combes and Clem enceau. (v) She is the only Church that bears a full message to the world. (w) The Church that tan make a man confess his sins, although she can have him sing hymns, strain his eyes, and strike his breast Id the bargain. ix) She is the only Church whose doctrine can bear the scrutiny of common sense. (y) Like her founder, Jesus tho Christ, she never changes. Her ft." ..At iti THE IRISH STANDARD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8,1914. priests cannot teach and preach ac cording as every wind of doctrine moves. (z) She is the only Church that has never yielded, never faltered, never gone back, never ma.lo a com promise with infidelity, never let so the Old Testament or the New. Never hesitated in the conflict with kings or people when Christianity was at stake. She defied King Hal and dip obeyed Napoleon.—Tidings. ROME HAD SUFFRAGETTES, TOO Reminders Are Found of Ancient "Conventas Matronalis." Rome, June 9.—The historian Lampridlus in his life of the Em peror Elagabalus, who reigned for less than four years and was slain at the age of 18 with his mother, Julia Soaemis, by the praetorians on March 11, A. D. 222, relates that the Emperor's mother, who encouraged and shared the follies and enormi ties of her son, took a place In the Roman senate and was herself the president of a sort of female parlia ment, which held its sittings near the Quirinal. and published edicts for the regulation of all matters con nected with morals, dress, etiquette and equipages of the matrons. The site of this female parliament has now been identified by Prof. Pasqui, who discovered the remains of a building under the palace of the Marchesa Bourbon del Monte, close to the Porta Salaria. Two female marble statues without heads and arms were found lying on the pave ment of a large room, the walls of which bear traces of colored fres coes. Fragments of marble columns which originally supported the roof of a large hall or assembly room also were found. The identification of the site is based on the special kind of dress and sandals worn by the two statues, which are almost identical with the tunic and shoes which .were the insignia of Sena torial rank. The location of the site between the gardens of Sallust and the Baths of Diocletian, on the Quirinal hill, corresponds to the description of another historian, Vospiscus, who relates that Aurelian restored the female parliament. A so-called "conventus matronalis," or associa tion of matrons, probably preceded the female parliament, the identifi cation of which will undoubtedly be used In favor of modern female suf frage. A LITTLE STORY WHICH SHOULD STRIKE HOME. By Shl&a Mahon. A Catholic woman living in an apartment hotel, took notice of a smart young colored boy, about fifteen years old. He was bell boy and every one had a good word to say about his politeness and good service to the guests. Every morn ing the Catholic woman attended and every time she went out the bell boy had a respectful "Good Morn ing," for this particular woman. One morning she happened to drop her prayer book, which the boy picked up. The leaves had flown open and a picture of the priest celebrating mass with a small boy In attendance was visible. "I used to serve mass," said the boy, when I was at home in the West Indes, "but I don't now," he said, and there was a regretful note in his voice. "Why don't you now," asked the lady? "Wal I jest had to give it up when I came here. Colored people are not much liked here. Many white folks don't seem glad to see them In church, I dunno why. "God made us all I guess," he added with a whimsical smile. "Anyhow I don't go to church any more." "But that is very wrong," said the lady. "You must commence again at once. There is exposition of the Blessed Sacrament going on in the church I go to. Don't you get a half holiday to-day? "Yes," said the boy, "but I am going to play baseball." I am sorry. "A'll go with you some other day," he added. "You'll come to-day," said the lady firmly. "Now that I know that you are a Catholic, I have no hesi tation in saying you must go. I feel sure our Dear Lord in the Blessed Sacrament has directed me to you, so be ready at twelve o'clock. It was hard work to get the boy to go. He had grown careless, no interest being taken In him, but the lady persevered and the boy accom panied her. It was as If a miracle had been wrought. From that day the boy attended to his religious duties and was the means of bring ing other Negro boys into the fold. The moral is, that an opportunity comes across a case of this kind. If one has not the time to follow it up, it should be put in the hands of Rev. John E. Burke, Director-General of Catholic Colored Missions, with Natiq*al Headquarters in the Metro polliVkBulldlng, 1 Madison Ave., New York City. It is bis special mis sion The conversion of the negro in America and to help keep the faith In those already converted. A line to him in any special case might be the means of helping on this great work. 1 CARDINAL GIBBONS DENOUNCES THE INDUSTRIAL WORKERS. An organization which should be met with distrust and opposition, es pecially in this country, he said, was the Industrial Workers of the World. It is a dangerous element, and should be put down, he said. Some of its adherents, he thinks, have no doubt been deceived and misled concern ing its purposes, but the leaders are guilty of open defiance of law and justice, and are without respect for the rights of individuals and proper ty, not hesitating to resort to viol ence to promote their purposes. NEPHEW OF IRISH LEADER MARRIED. In St. James' Cathedral, Montreal, Canada, a fortnight ago, Edith Shaughnessy, daughter of Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, president of the Canadian Pacific railway, was married to W. H. Redmond of Vic toria, B. C., who is a son of tlie late W. H. Redmond and a nephew of John E. Redmond, the Irish Nation alist leader. The ceremony, was per formed by Bishop Gauthier. Ihe bride was given away by her father. The happy couple sailed on the Al satian next day to spend their hon eymoon in Europe. RECENT ANARCHIST AGITA TIONS INSPIRED BY MEN WHO SCOFF AT GOD AND RELIGION. New York City has been Infested with a host of revolutionary dema gogues. Radical organizations are holding public meetings and attack ing the fundamental principles upon which the American Republic is es tablished. There is the "Free Speech League," the "Anti-Militarist League," the "Ferrer Association," and anarchistic I. W. W. branches. They are controlled by an interlock ing directorate, consisting of a group of anarchists, including such nota bles as Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman, Ben Reltman, Leonard Abbott, Upton Sinclair and others, says the Live Issue. On the whole the public is little acquainted with the philosophy of life these men hold. As anarchists, they are against all restraints, moral or civil. They are obessed with the notion that man's impulses a*e all good and that one has a right to give fuU vent to natural inclinations. The Ten Commondmenets they discord as an imposition on the world by de signing priests. The State they hate as an institution shackling individ ual freedom. Property rights they scorn as based on might and exploit ation. In 1912, "Mother Earth," printed a proclamation by one W. Curtis Swabey, which adequately sets forth the anarchist position. It is as fol lows: To all States, kings and priests to all governments and capitalists to all men and women—yea, to all thinking be ings, I proclaim that I respect nothing. I respect no moral duty, no property rights, no "rights of man," no humanity, no god, and no devil. I respect not a single thing. I bow to no idol of gas or iron. I respect no rights of a fellow ego. I know that all moral codes are frauds that all moral teachers are liars. I am absolutely alone in my moral world. That there is no wall that there are no chains. I am my own—and so is all else which I can get which I crave. I have no superiors, no equals, and no inferiors. My ego is the center of the universe. No spider-web net of wordy moralities binds me. I have no affairs save my own. I obey no ideals I kneel to no conscience. I am unprin cipled, unscrupulous, an'i con scienceless. I am not immortal, but without morals. I clearly percleve that moral principles have just as little existence as god. Both are nothing clad in something's clothes. Neither exists. Both are lies. I am entirely selfish and revere noth ing. No one can influence me an inch to the right nor the left, without appealing to my ego ism. You moralists! I have dissolved myself out of your world, and you cannot touch me! I am beyond your laws— your good and bad. Only a lov er of man, and I resent these injuries. Alfred the Great wrote us a law: "Injure ye not the stepchildren, nor hurt them anywhere for if you do other wise, they will cry unto me, and I will hear them and I will slay you with my sword, and I will cause that your own wives shall be widows and your children shall be stepchildren." This is the attitude of the egoist. He appeals to no right he denoun ces no wrong. He simply says: I will slay you. For thy laws, O State! I have absolutely no respect. I will dodge them if I do not like them—if I can. Thy will, eves if it were the voice of the will of the world, I would not wor ship. I would probably do what you say from live humanity fgRprrr^t "W^MM but from respect—never! No will can be greater than mine is to me. Nay, no other will can ever even exist as a moral duty to me. On the State I will lay with Nietzsche an ev'erlasting curse: "The State! Whatever the State saith is a lie whatever it hath is a theft all is counterfeit in it gnawing, sanguinary, insati ate Monster it even bites with stolen teeth—its very bowels are counterfeit." Property, rights cannot be de stroyed. They do not exist and never have existed. They are simply delusions. They at be washed from your minds. Gray mist-figures all they dis solve in the sun. Using the words in another sense—-all property rests on might. Might of three kinds— ivilitary and physical force, th.- forces of pity and sympathy, and the force of superstition. O ye men! Arouse ye! Let all bells toll the glad news! May all men hear! Lc-t Liberty rejoice! Hear ye all: Property is a lie! One might mistake this diatribe for the padded cell ravings cf a maniac,* but no, the/ are the notions of men allowed at large in our cities and given the privilege of making propaganda in public places for their vicious theories. That is what they call upholding the right of "Free Speech." ANGELS OF THE BATTLEFIELD, The following letter was written to the Ladies Auxiliary of the An cient Order of Hibernians by the National President, Ellen Ryan Jolly. The history of the "angels of the battlefield" has been written by Mrs. Jolly in her appeil for funds for a monument to the memory of the heroic Sisters. Mrs. Jolly writes: "Dear Sisters: History has done Scant justice to the Irish Soldiers whose swords and bayonets helped to establish and preserve this great nation, and whosj blood has'Sancti fied every battlefield since Lexing ton, s:!. which Cap!. James Parker, thj son of an -rish mothor from County Claire, was in command. He was wounded at the first fire, and, continuing to discharge his gun, was bayoneted to death by the English Barrett, in command at Concord. Thi This record of Irish loyalty and Aravery has been repeated a million times, p.nd recently again in the death of the young Irish Catholic, Daniel Haggerty, the first to fall in the present Mexican difficulty. I hope future writers may do justice to his memory. In the Civil War our Irish soldiers sustained the glory of their ancient and brave race, and again is history almost sil ent, or'else Its voice is so low and indistinct that the true story re mains buried in the soil of forget fulness, awaiting some resurrective force. This is our own fault. At least our own children should have in their hands histories written by those who will "give honor to whom honor is due.' Ask the children of our race to-day who was Meagher? What is his war record? Ask about Shields, Meade, Shereidan, Mulligan, Case. Kelly, Keraev and others of our race, and note the reply. Again we- are to blame. Ask them about Barry, Moylan, Fitzgerald, Carroll and other Catholic patriots, and then blush for having allowed this con dition to exist so long. In our mil lions we have strength, and if we de mand for proper historical recogni tion were made, conditions would Improve and our children would be given an opportunity to learn the history of the Irish race in America's establishment and development. "All honor to Mary A. Liver more and Clara Barton and their glorious bands of heroic women, who braved death In a thousand ways in their womanly and tender devotion to the sick and the wounded of our Civil War. History has been generous in its praise of them, and Justly so, and we rejoice. A statue of Florence Willard occupies a well-deserved place In Statuary Hall In the Capitol at Washington. When shall we be able to do a similar honor to the Nun of the Battlefield? It should be soon. Here let me ask a question. Have you ever read in any school history any reference to the heroic bands of Catholic nuns who in hundreds, too, did noble duty as army nurses? Who shall tell to future generations the history of the gentle "Angel of the Battlefield,' whose very identity was concealed by her religious name? The sisters left their quiet convent for the field of battle, and their tenderness and sweetest womanly sympathy have been the admiration of even Protestant gentlemen who were eye-witnesses of sacrifices. These gentle souls knew no North, no South blue and gray shared their attention alike. They received again and aghin the official recogni tion and thanks of President Lin coln and thanks of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate states. The men of the South still hold in holiest and grateful reverence the memory of the gentle nun, for whom no task was too menial, no duty too heavy. If a poor soldier lad, either In blue or gray, might be comforted. i&fs^TSp- CHUBCH DIRECTORY ST. PAUL. THE) CATHEDRAL. Sixth aad St. Peter. Bt Rev. John J. Lawler, D. P* Ve O., pastor—Low I. 7.

Many a last and loving message to wife, sister, mother, was written by the kindly nun, and many brave lad found at last a soldiers grave be side his own at home through the efforts of the sister whose heart bled in sympathy for the poor soldier breathing his last for the 'cause he thought right.' "This is a matter, sisters, yes, and brother Hibernians, the injustice of which for years has grieved the hearts of this Auxiliary National President, who dreams by night and thinks by day of the hour in which the members of this order will erect suitable memorial to the Catholic nun of the battlefield, a memorial worthy of them and worthy of our great order. In passing, I may say that in a future letter I shall give the names in religion of the nuns who did long and actual service. In addition to this I shall give the fam ily names of the nuns, obtained by request from superiors of several orders, and which read like the roll call of our Auxiliary. Irish in the large majority, many of them were members of families of distinction. On memorial Day, when we epltice our garlands above the hearts of our soldiers dear, let us entwine with a few blossoms the crosses beneath which rest all that is mortal of our Sisters of the Holy Cross, the 'White Caps,' or Corvette Sisters of Charity the 'black Caps' of Mother Sleton's daughters, the Sisters of St. Joseph, and though last, not least, our Irish Sisters of Mercy, daughters of Cath erine McAuley. May the sods rest lightly above their honored remains, and many the kinswomen of most of them write their names in characters of gold, which the future generation may read with pride of race." sN- 'M: »y "NT I .. j&
