# Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Ven. Henry Morse

From volume 10 of the work.
Martyr; b. in 1595 in Norfolk; d. at Tyburn, 1 Feb., 1644. He was received into the church at Douai, 5 June, 1614, after various journeys was ordained at Rome, and left for the mission, 19 June, 1624. He was admitted to the Society of Jesus at Heaton; there he was arrested and imprisoned for three years in York Castle, where he made his novitiate under his fellow prisoner, Father John Robinson, S.J., and took simple vows. Afterwards he was a missionary to the English regiments in the Low Countries. Returning to England at the end of 1633 he laboured in London, and in 1636 is reported to have received about ninety Protestant families into the Church. He himself contracted the plague but recovered. Arrested 27 February, 1636, he was imprisoned in Newgate. On 22 April he was brought to the bar charged with being a priest and having withdrawn the king's subjects from their faith and allegiance. He was found guilty on the first count, not guilty on the second, and sentence was deferred. On 23 April he made his solemn profession of the three vows to Father Edward Lusher. He was released on bail for 10,000 florins, 20 June, 1637, at the insistence of Queen Henriette Maria. In order to free his sureties he voluntarily went into exile when the royal proclamation was issued ordering all priests to leave the country before 7 April, 1641, and became chaplain to Gage's English regiment in the service of Spain. In 1643 he returned to England; arrested after about a year and a half he was imprisoned at Durham and Newcastle, and sent by sea to London. On 30 January he was again brought to the bar and condemned on his previous conviction. On the day of his execution his hurdle was drawn by four horses and the French ambassador attended with all his suite, as also did the Count of Egmont and the Portuguese Ambassador. The martyr was allowed to hang until he was dead. At the quartering the footmen of the French Ambassador and of the Count of Egmont dipped their handkerchiefs into the martyr's blood. In 1647 many persons possessed by evil spirits were relieved through the application of his relics.

# Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Ven. James Duckett

From volume 5 of the work.
Martyr, b. at Gilfortrigs in the parish of Skelsmergh in Westmoreland, England, date uncertain, of an ancient family of that county; d. 9 April, 1601. He was a bookseller and publisher in London. His godfather was the well-known martyr James Leybourbe of Skelsmergh. He seems, however, to have been brought up a Protestant, for he was converted while an apprentice in London by reading a Catholic book lent him by a friend. Before he could be received into the Church, he was twice imprisoned for not attending the Protestant service, and was obliged to compound for his apprenticeship and leave his master. He was finally reconciled by a venerable priest named Weekes who was imprisoned in the Gatehouse at Westminster. After two or three years he married a Catholic widow, but out of his twelve years of married life, no less than nine were spent in prison, owing to his zeal in propagating Catholic literature and his wonderful constancy in his new-found faith. His last apprehension was brought about by Peter Bullock, a bookbinder, who betrayed him in order to obtain his own release from prison. His house was searched on 4 March, 1601, Catholic books were found there, and Duckett was at once thrown into Newgate. At his trial, Bullock testified that he had bound various Catholic books for Duckett, which the martyr acknowledged to be true. The jury found him not guilty, but Judge Popham at once stood up and bade them consider well what they did, for Duckett had had bound for him Bristowe's "motives", a controversial work peculiarly odious to Anglicans on account of its learning and cogency. The jury thereupon reversed its verdict and brought in the prisoner guilty of felony. At the same time three priests, Page, Tichborne, and Watkinson were condemned to death. Bullock did not save himself by his treachery, for he was conveyed in the same cart as Duckett to Tyburn, where both were executed, 19 April, 1601. There is an account, written by his son, the Prior of the English Carthusians at Nieuport (Flanders) of James Duckett's martyrdom. On the way to Tyburn he was given a cup of wine; he drank, and desired his wife to drink to Peter Bullock, and freely to forgive him. At the gallows, his last thoughts were for his betrayer. He kissed him and implored him to die in the Catholic Faith.

# Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/A/Arne, Michael

Arne, Michael. Son of the preceding. So early did the genius of this musician develop it-self, that at the early age of ten or eleven years his performance on the harpsichord was such, that he was able to execute all the lessons of Handel and Scarlatti with wonderful correctness and rapidity. Even at this early age, so great had been his practice, and such was his perfection on this instrument, that it was thought he could play music at sight as well as any performer then living.
In conjunction with Mr. Battishill, he produced at Drury Lane Theatre, in 1764, the opera of "Alcmena ;" but its success was not very flattering. He afterwards produced at the King's Theatre the opera of "Cymon," from which he derived both emolument and fame. Several of the airs have been lasting favorites ; and particularly the two, "Yet a while sweet sleep," and "The sweet passion of love," which will be for-ever remembered.
The attention of Arne was, not long after this time, turned so strongly towards the study of chemistry that he not merely neglected, but, for a while, entirely abandoned, his professional pursuits. Ridiculous as it may seem at the present day, he became a convert to the absurd notions of those persons who believed in the philosopher's stone, and the transmutation of metals. In order that he might discover the former, he was at the expense of building a laboratory at Chelsea ; but when he found himself deceived in his expectations, he had the good sense to return to his professional avocations, and he afterwards composed music for Covent Garden, Vauxhall, and Ranelagh.
As a composer, Arne did not possess that happy taste, nor that power of writing beautiful melody, which were so conspicuous in his father ; yet there is a certain good sense which pervades all his works ; though it must at the same time be observed, that if some of them were less complex, they would perhaps be more pleasing. Upon the whole, however, his merits very justly entitle him to a high and distinguished rank amongst English composers.

# Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/A/Armonica

Armonica. The name given by Dr. Franklin to a musical instrument which he constructed, consisting of hemispherical glasses, which yielded the most agreeable tones by laying the wet finger upon the margin and giving a rotatory motion to the glasses. Might not bells of glass be substituted with advantage in place of the musical metallic bells now in use ? The Italian word armonica means harmonious. This term, when used adjectively, implies a quality, or character, of harmony - as, sinfonia armonica, harmonious symphony; guide armonica, harmonious guide.

United States Supreme Court
95 U.S. 373
County of Cass v. Jordan
The only question presented in this case not disposed of by the judgment in County of Cass v. Johnston, supra, p. 360, is that which relates to the identity of the company to whose stock the subscription was made with that to which the subscription was authorized, the claim being that the vote was for a subscription to the stock of the Pacific Railroad, while the subscription was actually made to that of the Pleasant Hill and Lawrence Branch of the Pacific Railroad. It appears, with reasonable certainty, that the vote of the township was for a subscription to aid in the construction of the branch road, and was intended to authorize the taking of the stock in the Pacific Railroad set apart under the 'Act to aid in the building of branch railroads in the State of Missouri,' approved March 21, 1868, to the Pleasant Hill and Lawrence branch. This renders it unnecessary to consider whether the plaintiff below was an innocent holder of the bonds sued upon, and what her rights would be as such.
The effect of the filing of the certificate for the construction of the branch after the call for the election, but before the vote was taken, has been sufficiently considered in the case above cited.
Judgment affirmed.
MR. JUSTICE MILLER and MR. JUSTICE BRADLEY dissented.

# County of Cass v. Shores/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
95 U.S. 375
County of Cass v. Shores
It was conceded upon the argument, that, under the decisions of this court, the county was estopped from denying its liability upon the bonds in question, being, as they are, in the hands of an innocent holder, if the presiding justice of the county court and the clerk were, by the terms of the order of Oct. 20, 1871, authorized to execute bonds which would bind the county for their payment. The question of the power of the county court under the law to bind the county for the payment of a debt of a township, or to issue bonds on behalf of a township to fund township debts, is not involved. The only inquiry is as to the authority conferred upon the presiding justice and the clerk by the terms of the order. On the one hand, it is contended that they were only empowered to issue the bonds of the county in behalf of the township, and thus bind the township alone for payment under the township aid act; and, on the other, that they were authorized to charge the county with the indebtedness to be incurred.
The latter, we think, is the true construction of the order. It recited that coupons for interest upon the bonds of the county issued for the benefit of the township had matured and remained unpaid; that the court had been prevented from making provision therefor until after the last annual levy of taxes; that the credit of the county had suffered, and was likely to suffer, on account thereof; and that honor required counties as well as individuals to meet their obligations in good faith. It then directed that, for the benefit of the township, county funding-bonds be issued 'for the purpose of paying said coupons, keeping the faith of the county, protecting and preserving her credit, and also that the next levy of taxes upon said township may not prove burdensome.' For the purposes of construction, language is to be given, if possible, its ordinary and natural meaning. Applying this elementary rule in the present case, there seems hardly room for doubt as to what was intended. 'County funding-bonds' were to be issued to protect the faith and preserve the credit of the county. The law under which the action was taken was one authorizing counties 'to fund any and all debts they may owe.' The county court may have been mistaken in supposing that the interest in arrears was a county debt; but, however that may be, they clearly assumed that it was, and acted accordingly.
Judgment affirmed.

CHAPTER XX
SOME CURIOUS CONTRASTS
CHAPTER XXI
THE OLD PACIFIC CAPITAL
AMID these curious contrasts the “Old Pacific Capital” retains its quaint and peculiar charm and lives on in satisfied content. Rich in historic memory, unmoved by the feverish activities of a commercial age, Monterey has been slow to depart from the pleasant paths along which she has found such happiness and delight. Down through the centuries she has marched with dignity and grace, ever cultivating and practicing those ceremonial courtesies that have left an indelible impress upon her daily life.
The visitor to this old historic town will find no towering skyscrapers nor throbbing centers of commerce, but he will find a business center with clean and well paved streets and modern and well conducted shops. He will find no palatial dwellings whose architectural splendors typify the luxurious display of inordinate wealth, but he will find the pleasing and fascinating picture of charming homes in a picturesque setting under the spell of an
