Father Drumgeole, in order to raise funds
for the institution, brought out a little paper
called The Homeless Child. With the pro-
ceeis of this paper he built ten story build
ing known as the Mission of the Immaculate
Conception. 1t cost $4,000. This was
opened in 1881. In the following year he
bought tract of land on Staten Island, on
which he built another home, called Mount
Loretto, at a total cost of $40, 600
The number of boys who have passed from
under the care of Father Drumgoole has an
nually amounted to l3,0O0. He loved his
work and cared nothing for his personal
comfort. Once, when Cardinal McClosky
offered TO build him fine residence, he de-
clined. MY home is with the unfortunate" :"

He Was Much Beloved by the Poor Of
New York.
Especial Correspondence
New YORK, April l6.-The Rev. John C.
Drumgoole, much beloved for his devotion to
the poor, died recently in this city Father
Drumgoole was born in County Longford,
Ireland, sixty-two years ago. His parents,
who were very poor, emigrated to America
in 1884 Young John Drumgoole, before he
was 90, was made sexton of st. Mary's church
in New York, and from his salary saved
enough to enable him to enter St Johns
college, Fordham- But while pursuing his
studies his father died, and he was obliged TO
leave college and support his mother. Ten
years later he entered st. Xavier's college in
New York, and was graduated to the senlin-
ary of Our Lady of Angels at Niagara Falls.
Here he applied himself TO the study OF
theology, and was ordained priest in 1869.
He was assigned to ST. Mary's church, New
York
Having conceived the idea OF founding a
mission for the protection of homeless and
destitute children, and his plan being APP
proved by Archbishop McClosky, he began
the work of founding the st. Vincent de
Paurs Newsboys' lodging house. Shortly
afterward the name was changed to st. Vim
cents Home for the Protection of Homeless
and Destitute Bovs.

inSly down Madison street. Mr.. Citizen just
now looked the reverse of respectable. His
right eye wore Grape, his nose was split in
three different directions, and his lower lip
was swollen until it bore a close resemblance
to frostbitten tomato. One arm was con-

member bore evidence of having seen more
or less service in losing cause. Along came
a friend, who inquired of the perambulatrng
