A Jew Priest.—Among the ordina
tions to the priesthood last week at
St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York,
was Louis Stryker. who, with his par
ents, was converted som§ years ago.
Jesuit Missionaries Leave.—Last
Sunday, in St. Francis Xavier's
church, in New York, a ceremony was
held which marked the departure of
nine Jesuit missionaries for the Phil
ippines and five for Jamaica, British
West Indies.
Knights to Have New 'Home.—Con
struction work on a new $80,000 home
for the Topeka Knights of Columbus
will begin this fall, according to J. E.
Foley, grand knight. The building
will be 75 by 150 feet in size. It will
provide seating capacity for about
2,000 persons.
A Venerable Jubilarian.—Rev.
Michael F. Melody observed the gold
en jubilee of his ordination at St. Vin
cent's orphans' home, Louisville, Ky.,
on Thursday, June 22. Father Melody
was born in Ireland and came to
Louisville when four years of age. He
studied at Bardstown and was or
dained in the Cathedral of Louisville.
A Golden Jubilee.—The fiftieth an
niversary of the ordination of Rev.
Patrick O'Brien, chaplain of Notre
Dame academy, Toledo, O., will be
celebrated on July 21. Father O'Brien
has spent practically his entire priest
ly life in Toledo and ranks among the
city's most prominent citizens by rea
son of his intense interest in all her
civic, religious, patriotic and educa
tional activities.
Oregon Catholic Knighted.—Mr.
Jdhn P. Miller of Portland, Ore., has
been named a Knight of St. Gregory
by Pope Pius XI. The honor is one
accorded laymen in recognition of
their services to the Church. Though
given to a number of American lay
men in other parts of the country, this
is the first time in recent years that
the honor has been bestowed on a
resident of the Northwest. In 1847
the honor was given Dr. John Mc
Loughlin, the "Father of Oregon."
Catholic Boys to Have Camps.—
Catholic boys of Sioux Falls are to
have a delightful camping outing this
summer, according to announcement
made Saturday. The need of such a
vacation for the boys has been real
ized for some time, and to fill this
need a camp for Catholic boys will be
established at Lake Herman. The
camp will be in charge of Father
Reilly, of StvJoseph's Cathedral, and
J. B. Nelson, scoutmaster of the Cath
olic Boy Scouts in the city and an
expert in boys' work. Mass will be
said daily for the lads, and a priest
will constantly be, in charge.
Blackmail of Catholic Priest.—
Charged with attempting to extort
money from the Rev. Robert Murphy,
pastor of St. Rose's Catholic
church, New York, through black
mail, David Dalton and William Bell
were arrested last week. Dalton gave
his home address at 416 West Broad
way, St. Louis, and Bell said he lived
at 903 Wabash avenue, Chicago. The
exchange of marked bills, aggregating
$100. following the receipt of a letter
by the priest from the two men is
said to have caused the arrest of the
pair. They will be arraigned in Essex
Market court charged with blackmail.
Grateful to Notre Dame Sisters.—
A bronze tablet is to be erected by
the members of St. James' parish,
Baltimore, to commemorate the sev
enty-filth anniversary of the coming
to that parish of the Sisters of Notre
Dame. The sisters began their work
in St. James' school August 15, 1847.
A celebration in honor of the diamond
jubilee was held at St. James' church
Sunday, June 25. Former pupils and
present pupils and other members of
the parish joined in the demonstra
tion that showed that St. James'
realized the debt it owes the sisters
A purse was presented the commun
ity.
No Interference With Religion.-—
Justice Mitchell May in Supreme
Coux-t dismissed the application of
Solomon Solomon of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
for a writ of habeas corpus to obtain
possession of his 13-year-old daughter,
who had been reared as a Roman
Catholic in St. Agatha's home at
Nanuet, Rockland county. The girl
was sent to the institution as Jennie
Mahoney. Her mother was Kate
Mahoney, an English woman. Solomon
used the name of Mahoney when the
wedding was solemnized in a Catholic
church. Justice May said as the child
had been brought up in the Catholic
faith he didn't care to change the
situation.
Ursuline Nuns Work in China—A
letter received from the Ursuline
convent at Stanstead, P. sends the
good news that the Canadian Ursu
lines are to take up missionary work
in Swatow, China. The letter says:
"The formal permission of the Propa
ganda to go to the missions has reach
ed us. The communication is dated
April 30, the 250th anniversary of
the death of our venerable Mother
Marie de l'lncarnation, foundress of
the Quebec Ursulines. Our departure
is set for June 19, for the Pacific
coast, and we expect to take the
steamer at Vancouver on the 29th, the
feast of St. Peter. We had the prom
ise of two thousand dollars for our
new mission, but unhappily our bene
factor cannot carry out his good in
tention. We are now praying to St.
Joseph to find us another friend."
Who will be that benefactor?
Priest Drops Dead.—'Catholics of
Lawrenceburg, Tenn., were profound
ly shocked at the sudden death of
Rev. Joseph Merkley, pastor of Sacred
Jfc&rt church. Many parishioners
22
an OMR lands,
aasgs:*®^
were present in- the church to wit
ness the confirmation of a class of
children. Right Rev. Samuel A.
Stritch, Bishop of Toledo, had arrived
on the noon train-to administer the
sacrament, and the two had just en
tered the sacristy when Father Merk
ley fell to the floor and expired al
most instantly. When Bishop Stritch
made the announcement to those as
sembled in the church, his words were
followed by unrepressed sobs and
tears. Father Merkley was an alum
nus of Mt. St. Mary seminary, Cin
cinnati, matriculating there in 1901.
He was ordained in the Nashville ca
thedral in 1906, and for fifteen years
was chaplain of St. Mary orphanage
and St. Cecelia convent, prior to his
being appointed to the pastorate at
Lawrenceburg.
Degree to Denis McCarthy.—Bos
ton college graduated one hundred
and thirty-four students and awarded
an honorary degree of LL. D. to Denis
A. McCarthy, poet, lecturer and for
merly editor of the Sacred Heart Re
view, at impressive commencement
exercises at University Heights. His
Eminence Cardinal O'Connell, an
alumnus of the college, spoke briefly
to the graduates, urging them to main
tain high ideals, and commended the
masterful address by Dr. McCarthy,
who was orator of the day. Following
the exercises His Eminence laid the
cornerstone of Science hall, the newest
building in the college group, which
will be ready for occupancy next year.
Mr. McCarthy spoke of the changed
conditions which Catholic young men
of today have to meet when they go
forth from college to do battle in the
world of business. "You of today," he
said in part, "have far more oppor
tunity for worldly success, won fairly
and squarely and without compromise,
than awaited your predecessors. It is
but right that you should seize and
make the most of such opportunities,
and your efforts here need not be
inconsistent with your endeavors to
lead that higher life which your Cath
olic training has taught you to be the
chief end and aim of your existence."
OLD WORLD NEWS
Bishop Injured Boy Killed.—Bishop
Gibier of Versailles was severely in
jured in an automobile accident re
cently, while returning from an epis
copal visit. A six-year-old boy at
tempted to cross the street in front of
the car. In an effort to save the child,
the chauffeur swerved the automobile
to one side, causing a collision. Bishop
Gibier suffered a wound on the fore
head, and, when the car recoiled and
overturned, the boy was killed. The
Bishop's injuries are not regarded as
serious.
Mass for Patriots.—A unique cere
mony took place in Kilmainham jail,
Dublin, formerly a stronghold of the
British. Requiem Mass was celebrated
in the prison chapel for the patriots
of 1916 executed within its walls. The
congregation included representatives
of the Irish army and a number of
relatives of the executed men. After
Mass a pilgrimage was made to the
spot where the executions took place.
Mr. de Valera, addressing the assem
blage, said: "This place is holy
ground, and as long as God gives us
life we will work for the freedom
which they died to gain for Ireland."
Rev. Father Sebastian, O. S. F. C.,
who attended a number of the dead
during their last hours, recited the
Rosary in Irish.
New Separation Bill.—Both Catho
lics and High Anglicans are stated to
be strongly in support of a new bill,
which has just been read the second
time in the House of Commons, for
tightening up the legal restrictions on
separation and maintenance. So far
as can be understood, the new bill
does not go in the direction of extend
ing facilities for divorce indeed, it is
strongly opposed by the Divorce Re
form League on the ground that it
will delay laws for easier divorce. But
the bill has also met a certain amount
of opposition from those who are
equally opposed to divorce. If the
bill is passed into law, one of its main
features—in the mind of its proposers
—will be to prevent the breaking-up
of homes, and while making for more
definite understanding in the way of
legal separation of married couples,
will not make the procedure for di
vorce any easier.
Jesuit Treasures Sought by Divers.
Gold lost by the Jesuit missionaries
who evangelized the Huron Indians is
being sought in Penetanguishene, Ont.,
Canada, by a party of divers working
beneath the waters of the River Wye,
where they have located an ancient
chest sunk deep in mud. A set of
solid gold candelabra, presented to
the Jesuit missions by the court of
France, and a quantity of French gold,
brought over from the old world to
pay the soldiers who accompanied the
missionaries, are expected to be re
covered if the divers are successful.
The chest which contained the treas
ure was said to have dropped over
board in 1650, while being conveyed
to Fort St. Marie, the headquarters
of the Jesuit missionaries for Huronia,
whose flourishing missions had been
destroyed by the incursion of the Iro
quois in 1G48-49. The work of eighteen
years was wiped out by the savages
and seven priests were killed, two
being burned at the stake.
Cardinal Dubois Honors Society.
Cardinal Dubois recently presided at
a meeting held in honor of the 65th
anniversary of the foundation of a
Parisian organization known as the
"Malades Pauvres" (The Sick Poor),
.one of the most deserving societies
supported by Catholic charity. Es
tablished in the community of the
Sisters of Hope, the society is an or

the bourgeoisie under the name of the
Ladies of the Holy Family. In the
thickly populated districts north
east of the capital, those ladies
during the last year gave care and
alms to 18,507 sick persons. Thanks
to them, 623 sick persons were able
to die with the comforts of religion
95 marriages were regularized 309
baptisms administered 55 tardy First
Communions were made and 9 Con
firmations administered. In addition
to this, the organization paid for the
treatment of 362 persons in hospitals
or sanatoriums.
Temperance in Ireland.—Serious
minded Irishmen are concentrating
upon temperance propaganda and re
form. It is felt that there is laxity
in the enforcement of the existing
licensing laws, that there are too
many saloons and that intemperance
is accountable for many offenses
against peace and order. In Armagh
diocese a temperance congress at
tended by 200 delegates was held.
Cardinal Logue presided. His Em
inence observed that a great deal of
the rapine, cruelty and murders that
had marked the last few terrible
years were due to the fact that in
temperance was prevalent among
those who participated in the strug
gle on both sides. Papers on various
aspects of the problem were read and
discussed. In these, temperance in
struction in the schools was advocated
and restrictive legislation urged.
Archbishop O^onnell delivered an ad
dress, in the course of which he stated
that the best method of promoting
temperance was through the schools.
Blessing of the Sea.—The Arch
bishop of Aix-en-Provence this year
performed the traditional ceremony
of the blessing of the sea in the most
modern of sea-going craft. It is a
century-old custom in Provence to im
plore the protection of God against
the cruelty of the waters of the
Mediterranean, and each year the
primate of Provence gives his bles
sing to the sea from a boat in mid
ocean. This year, M. Samat, a news
paper man from Marseilles, who was
an aviator during the war, was trying
out along the coast a "hydro-glider,"
a small craft which is propelled by
means of an ordinary airplane engine.
He invited Mgr. Riviere, Archbishop
of Aix and primate of Provence, to
accompany him in his frail craft.
Mgr. Riviere went on board with his
vestments and archiepiscopal crozier
and blessed the sea from the rocks of
Marseilles to the beach of the "Saintes
Maries," where, according to tradi
tion, Saint Mary Magdalen, Saint
Martha and Saint Lazarus landed
when they came to Gaul after the
Ascension of Christ.
Hospital of Santo Spirito*—The dis
astrous fire at the great hospital of
Santo Spirit'o in Rome, by which six
teen patients lost their lives owing
to the collapse of a floor, has drawn
wide attention to the history of this
institution, part of the social and
charitable provision made and main
tained by the Popes as rulers of the
Eternal City. Centuries before any
modern hospital was built, Santo
Spirito carried on its good work by
the side of the Tiber. Its vast orig
inal buildings, constructed under the
direction of Guido de Montpelier, were
put up in the time of Innocent III,
whose reign covered the end of the
twelfth and the early part of the
thirteenth century. A number of later
Pontiffs, among them Innocent IV,
Sixtus IV, Benedict XIV, and Pius VI,
enlarged and repaired the hospital,
and similar work was done under Pius
IX before the fall of the Temporal
Power. Santo Spirito is one of the
most notable charities of its kind in
Europe, and the recent fire, tragic
though it has been in the loss of lives,
has fortunately not interrupted a
work that has been going on in Rome
for more than seven hundred years.
Help for Irish Brothers.—In the
educational sphere the Irish Christian
Brothers have in face of great diffi
culties played a great and noble part.
In every chief town throughout the
country their primary and secondary
schools are largely attended. In
Dublin and Cork especially their
schools take pride of place every year
in the intermediate examinations.
Owing to the sturdy action of the
Brothers in regard to religious edu
cation, and their insistence upon the
exhibition of religious emblems in the
school rooms, and the use of text
books in accordance with Irish ideas,
the British government refused to
recognize their primary schools.
They have, therefore, had the work
without any state grant. It is gen
erally felt that this grievance ought
to be removed by the new Irish gov
ernment. Action in support of this
view has been taken by former pupils.
They call upon the Minister of Irish
Education to recognize the services
rendered by the Christian Brothers
to the Irish nation in educational mat
ters during the past hundred years
by seeing that in the allocation of
future grants for education they are
fairly generously treated.
