BEATIFICATIoN OF MARIE EMILE DE
RoDAT.-The Bishop of Rodez has recently
pu blIshed a pastoral soliciting the prayers
Of the faithful for the success of the process
of Qualification of a very holy woman.
From it we CLEAN some interesting particu-
lars of her life {: "Mara Emile Kodat was
born in 1887, and belonged to a noble fami-
ly of DIuelle, in the diocese of Rodez,
France. AT very early age she display
ed an unusual love of holy things and a
vocation for a religious life. Sustained in
the laudable purpose by the example aud
encouragement of her grandmother, a most
Christian and pious woman, Marie Emile
devoted herself to charitable pursuits and
to prayer. She rose early to attend Mass,
and passed great portion of her time in
visiting the poor and sick. Later on she
went to VIllefranche de Ronergue, and
there, in company of two or three other
ladies, dedicated her leisure to the educa-
ton of orphans and ethe- abandoned chill
dren. Fortunately she fell in with a spirit
ual ad wiser OfsmOst exalted piety and pro-
found experience, the Able Marty, a former
Doctor of the SurbUnne. Under his guidance
she established the Order of the Holy Fam
lily, which has since become SO popular and
widely extended, and which is devoted to
the educational interest of the lowest class |
of poor children. Mother Marie Emile
lived and died at VilleHranche. She expired
ON September 18th 1854, surrounded by
her SISTERS IN Christ, and deeply regretted
by the entire population, who ever spoke |
Of her as the saint. 1t lie not astonishing !

OBITUARY.

Edmund L. Morton, Com modore New
Jersey Yacht Club.
On the evening OF October Is, while returning
from regatta OF the club the yacht Julia. OF which
Commodore Morton was in command, was run into
by the ferryboat James Fisk belonging to the Erie
Railroad Company, and the Commodore drowned,
all the others on board being saved. He was last
seen standing up, endeavoring to "fend ofr'' and
tighten the shock of the colliding boats and
whether the jar Of the collision Knocked him over,
or the boom of his own vessel struck him, or the
paddle wheel OF the ferryboar rendered him sense
less is not known but he disappeared in the gloom
OF the night and forever. The Commodore was the
second son Of Captain Charles r. Morton, United
States Army, an officer during the war OF 1912, and
grandson OF General Jacob Morton, very well known
to the old residents OF New York.
During the late rebellion Commodore Morton
served as second oficer OF the United States gun
boat Naugatuck, and was with her during the
whole time OF her service of City Point. In his
business relations he was prompt, active and be-
loved by all who came in contact with him; and
his urbane and genial manners and disposition
will render his loss very greatly felt, not only in
his own home, but generally throughout the city
OF Hoboken. The New Jersey Club in the death OF
Commodore Morton will lose stanch friend, as
ton, a thorough yachtsman, and TO whose energy
and skin no little OF the glory OF the club is rightly
attributable. Commodore Morton was vestry-
man OF Trinity Episcopal church, Hoboken, and
displayed the same zeal In church AFFAIRS that he
applied to all the other concerns OF life.
