HIS LABORS ENDED.
Cardinal Newman Passes Away. Wide.
spread Regret Expressed.

During the greater part OF the 18th
inst, says a dispatch from London,
England, Cardinal Newman lay in a
semi-conscious state, frequently falling
into a doze. About an hour before
the end the cardinal asked to see
Father Neville, his secretary, whose
hand he grssped as hesmiled and mur-
INJURED: IL hear the music OF heaven;
others at the bedside were moved to
| tears at the scene. The body of the
cardinal will lie in state until the 10th
inst when it will be inferred in Rednal
cemetery. He prepared his last SER
mon on Jan. /. All OF the morning
papers print eulogies on the dead
cardinal
The post says that u great many
persons who did not sympathize with
his teachings will feel the poorer that
| he is dead.
The Chronicle says that Englishmen
will probably unite in demanding that
| he be buried i'm Westminster abbey
The Times devotes seven columns TO
his lie and career, bestowing upon
him the highest praise. Though he is
gone, the Times says, the saint and
| poet that were in him survive.
The Standard says no English
churchman doubts that he will have a
glorious reward.
John Henry Newman was born III
London Feb. 81, 1901 He was grad
uated at Trinity college, Oxford, in 1S-
90. Two years after he was elected
| fellow of Oriel college, Oxford, where
he began his public literary labors as
an associate of DR.. Whately in the
preparation OF his Treatise ofLogic"
| for the press, and contributor to the
Encyclopedia Metropolitana Hewas
ordained minister of the Church OF
England n'1S24. Between that date
and 1928, when he began the encum-
bency OF st. Mary's, Oxford, he held
offices in the university. His parish
included the small hamlet OF Little
more, where, from 1912 TO tS45, he
was at the head of band of ascetic
students, young men who looked up
to him as their religious guide. This
movement grew out OF the eXtraordi-
nary influence of his preaching at st.
Mary's and various publications. OF
these, Tracts ofthe Times" begun in
1888, were the most important. New
man was editor of these publications
and the author OF "Tract &c, which
was such marked advance toward
Rome that the heads of houses at Ok
ford condemned IL, and the bishop of
Oxford called on Newman to discontin-
tie the publication of these tracts, a
mandate which he obeyed. In 1S43 DIR.
Newman resigned his living in the
Church OF England, and in 1S45 join
ed the Roman Catholic church, of
| which he was soon after in Rome or
dained a deacon. When he returned
to England he established branch of
the Congregation of the 0ratory of
st. Philip Neri, Birmingham, OF which
he was the superior. From 1851 TO
1857 he was appointed rector Of the
Catholic university, Dublin. Return
ing then TO Birmingham he resumed
his residence at the oratory, in CON
nection with which he established
school of ofhigher studies. He was haade
cardinal in 1870, AS writer, Cardi-
nal Newman is known as TIE author
OF ten volumes Of sermons, asachurch
historian, a poet, a controversialist
y and the writer OF two works Of fiction.
