Rev. JOHN MoELRoY, the oldest Catho-
lie priest in the United States and the old
est Jesuit in the world, died at Frederick,
Md, OH last Wednesday week, at the ad-
vanced age Of % years. lie came to this
co intry from Ireland in 1903, when he was
twenty. one years old, ard when Thomas
Jefferson was President. He had been IA
priest for sixty years, having been ordained
by Archbishop Neale III 1917. In 1910 he
was chiefly instrumental in suppressing a
formidable riot Oh the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, to quell which it was found ne
cessary to call for military assistance, aud
was subsequently, one of the two chaplains
appointed by President Polk to accompany
the American army to Mexico, to minister
10 the sick and wounded soldiers. Father
McElroy was doubtless the most widely
known priest in the country, and from his
solid requirements and great age exercised
extraordinary influence in the Church.
Take him all in all, he was one of tho most
remarkable men Of the present century.

Court Incident.

The dry details OF law aud proceed
ings in the case on trial in the District
Court was e%nlivened yesterday by
some od-humored sparring between
the Court and counsel relative to the
grammatical Interpretation OF the word
" righted." After mutual argument,
the Judge called the counselor TO parse
the word, which invitation the latter
warily declined, with the remark that
he was not going to school at pres
ent." The Judge retorted. hat az he
was, he would be at the foot of the
class" which answer caused an out
burst of laughter from the spectators,
promptly repressed by the officer OF
the court, who was SO indignant at the
demonstration that he forgot for the
space Of a minute to make a newcomer
sit down.

The horse in his struggles threw him
