OBITUARY.
James Curley, a Noted Instructor and the
Oldest Priest I'm America.

James Curley, Noted Instructor and the
Oldest Priest I'm America.
WASHINGTON, July 24.-Father James
Georgetown College observatory, died last
evening at $40 O'clock. Father Curley had
been ailing since February last with
cold, which took such severe hold of him
that he could not shake it Off. Shortly aft
er the centennial celebration of the college
he fell down stairs, but appeared to have
received no injury apart from the shock to
his nervous system caused by the accident.
Yet he never fully rallied, and always kept.
to his room in the infirmary building.
Father Curley, up to within year Of
his death, had been director of the George
town observatory. He was the instructor
of many men afterward famous in this
country and in Europe. 1t was under his
direction that Father Secchi, the lllustri-
Gus Italian astronomer, first devoted his
attention to the profession in which he
made for himself such name. This veneer
able man was in his ninety-third year at
the time of his DEATH and was one of the
most interesting characters in the history
of the college. He was born in RoscommOn
county, Ireland, Oct. Is. 1896. and was at
the time of his death the oldest priest in
America, perhaps in the world. He was
connected with the Georgetown College for
sixty-twO years.
Father Curley took the first longitude
and latitude of Washington.
