IRISH MAYoRAL INSTALLATIONS.
The installation Of the Lord Mayor of Dublin
was, on the WHOLE q brilliant affair. The
principal incident Of it have just described.
Let me just add that, as on the previous occa-
sion on which Alderman MacSwiney occupied
the civic chair, he had in his procession tho
banner of his ancient sept and o number of
gallow-glasses in the historic costume of the
heavy armed cavalry of ancient Ireland, riding
at either side. Drogheda was the only other
place where suoh a parade took place. Tho
historic city by the Boyne turned ont in grand
STYLE Scarcely any flags were to be seen ex-
cept national ones, and wherever there was q
harp it was sure to be unaccompanied by the
crown. The Mayor and several other members
of the Town Council attended at High Mass in
their official robes; and on Sunday last-the
first Sunday of the New Year-the Lord Mayor
of Dublin and several members of the Metro
politan Corporation did the same thing, being
received at the Cathedral by his Eminence,
Cardinal Cullen, large number of the clergy
of the Archdiocese, and the students of Holy
Cross College, Clonliffe. It was notable
sight-that of the Cardinal Archbishop and the
Lord Mayor heading procession, through the
Cathedral, Of the Clergy, the Town Councillors,
and the young levites Of Clonlife. 1t is not 80
very long since all who would have taken part
in such demonstration would have been
hanged or shot. The Cardinal-Archbishop
preached on this occasion.
REMARKABLE PRIEST.
somewhat remarkable priest passed away
on Sunday in the person Of the very Rev.
Michael Canon Coyne, Parish Priest of Clon-
feacle, Moy, county Tyrone. Canon Coyne was
born in the eventful and sorrowful year of 9s. |
For full forty years he was Parish Priest of
Clonfeacle yet it was not in Ireland that he
entered on his mission. Forced, like 30 many
of his Older, to go to France to study he was
trained in the famous school of Pickfns, and, !
ordained in 1896, was selected by the Bishop
of Meaux to take charge of parish in that |
diocese which had suffered SO much from the
revolution. In 1884 he was at last appointed |
to the parish of Cionfeacie in bis native |
county. The French polish bad never left his
manners, and he was always a most exemplary
priest. He was one of the very few links that |
correct the Catholic Ireland of tho present
with the Catholic Ireland of the days of perse-
cution. The Archbishop of Tuam is another of
those links, and may mention that this illus
trions prelate will celebrate his jubilee as q
Bishop few months hence
THE MONKS OF THE PRESENTATION ORDER.
On Friday lsst-New Years's Day-the Pre-
Order of Monks received in st,
Finbarr's Church, Cork, the formal approval Of
The Holy See. There were present at the in
teresting ceremony the Bishops of Cork and of
Kerry and large number of the Secular and
Regular clergy, besides vast throng of the
atty. The Bishop of Kerry preached Q very I
eloquent sermon. The Order was founded in !
5ork in 1876, but it was only in May and June ,
asst that the Holy See determined to constitute {
as q regular Order Of the Church: It will be
that it was in Cork also that the
order of Presentation Nuns was founded by the 9
ainted Nano Maggie, late in the last century. 7
like the Nuns, the Monks are destined chiefly J
or the education Of the poor and in Cork and q
Terry their success has been conspicuous. In T
;ork all the nstitutions--schools, orphanages, 9
nd industrial schools-for the training of the '
atholio poor are under the care of the Pre- b
sntation Monks; and their success in the g
ature must be all the greater in consequence q
( the recognition which the Holy Father has 3
{ last given of their services. 1t need hardly 9
o said that the education they give is truly B
atholio. An anecdote connected with their ii
,hool in Greenmount, Cork, is worth recalling =
this connection. They set stone cross in b
le gable of the schoolhouse. Soon afterwarde1 is
