Ii The following interesting sketch ap-
4peared in a recent issue OF the Chicago
Post: y
John r. .Finerty, whose eloquent and
forcible appeal saved the Grand: bouls-
ward elrns from the iconoclastic az Of the
judicial woodmen, has been for years 3
prominent figure in Chicago. Orator,
journalist, ;publicist, congressman, polit:>
zeal leader, he has been a factor in max
ing the history of the times. Frank. I'M
pulsiye, passionate when his sentiments
are touched, he is loved by the, warm
hearted Irish race of which he is an orna,
ment. He has been a soldier, a political
speaker, city and a government official,
but the bent Of his mind is toward jourS
nalism, and in that field he has done his
best work. He inherited his love fot'
newspaper life. His father was one Of
the best newspaper writer's in Ireland in
the dark days of 49, John F. Finerty
was born in Galway, Ireland, in 1916. He
received good education, and when but
youth espoused the cause Of Irish indie
pendence. He came to America In 1854
and Joined the Ninty-ninth New York
regiment in order to secure military In
struction and with it volunteered for the
nlted States service. He kept UP his con-
nection with the nationalists organiza-.
tions in ireland and was looked on as one
Of the leaders of the Irish independent
movement, In 1868 he came to Chicago
and went/to work on the Republican, of
which he became city editor in 1871.
Later he was engaged on the Evening
Post of those days and subsequently, on
the Tribune. In 1875 ne went to ths
Times and was the "star" man of the pa
per- In 1876 he took the field as cores
pondent for the Times with General
Crook in his campaign against the Sioux.
In 1879 he was with General Miles when
that great Indian fighter whipped tho
same tribe, and in 1882 be was with Cen
eral Carr in the war with the Apaches.
In these campaigns Mr.. Finerty Travelled
all over the country of the hostile Indians.
In 1877 he wrote up the Nichois-Paeka
troubles in Louisiana and the Pittsburg
riots. In 1882 he was elected to- congress
from the Second district. In 1882 he es-
tahlished the Citizen weekly newspaper,
Of which he is still owner and editor. He
is the author Of a very entertaining book
upon the Indian wars, the greater part
of which is compiled from personal exper-
fences. He supported Blaine in 1884 and
was candidate for congress, but was de-
feated. He was city oil inspector under
Mayor Roche. He is a powerful political
orator, and in every campaign his SER
vices are demanded. In the last munich
pal contest he warmly espoused Mayor
Swift's cause and his personal exertions
contributed largely to the success Of the
Republican ticket. Ab}e,. competent and
conscientious, a man of absolute honesty
and integrity, Mr.. Finerty Is a typical

1t may not be known to your lady read

of fraternal sisters with Queen Isabella as
their patroness, under the cross of our
Saviour and the flag Of our country. The
objects Of the society are as follows:
To unite all we'll disposed Catholic
women for their mutual Improvement
and social advancement. W.
To encourage and aid the needy, neg

moving the barriers which alone deprive
many Of oppportunity to aid the friendless
by sisterly interest and council.
To give moral and material aid and ass
sistance to fratM'nal sisters.
To aid their orphans when death Shall
have removed their natural protection.
The society is essentially Catholic, and

ed by bishops and priests. and all secrets
of the order cease to be such in the con-
fessional. It is a temperance society,
too, and no one will be admitted to menu
bership who is any way engaged in the
liquor business or Is addicted to drink. It
is also the object Of each court to furnish
employment to sisters out Of work, and
the business of the order will be transact
ed In accordance with the constitution
ard bylaws made by the grand court.
The court in this city is rapidly taking
root and is bound to spread out its pro-
teeting wings until every city in the
Northwest can boast Of having branch Of
the Daughters Of Isabella. The Catholic
woman's golden sun is, rising, and ere the
setting Of the sun of the Ninteenths cen
fury the Catholic world will be better OF

its benign inf hence among the people,
The Daughters OF Isabella shall aid their

The London correspondent Of the New
York Sun has few words to say about
the vacancy in the parliamentary repre-
sentation Of Cork which Is occasioned by
the enforced resignation Of VIM. tOBrien.
Speaking Of the election Of his successor
he facetiously says: The prospect is far
from pleasing to the government, because
a hot fight in Cork means the absence Of
IA few Of their Nationalist allies from
Westminster with consequent loss Of
votes, because the Tories refuse to pair
with them. II. is presumed, therefore,
that the issue of the writ will be delayed
as long as possible, thus postponing the
most interesting electoral struggle in Ire
land since Mr.. Parnell contested kilken-
my and had lime thrown in his eyes.
Cork is not likely to be behind Kilkenny
il this respect. It's honest citizens are
spelling for a fight and It seems a pity to
defer their happiness In Difference to pal

A NOTABLE CAREER
What Leo XIII. Has ACCOMPLISHED
During His Glorious Reign.

Pope Leo XIII. is nearing his end
Eighty-fiv years Of brilliant endeayor
have crowned his career. He has made,
SO far as Pope may, his will and tesla
ment. He has intimated, though he has
not sought to convey absolutely, his wish
as to his successor. He mas outlined
what he thinks should be the future pol
icy Of the church, and, coming from the
man who beat Bismarck, who outwitted
Gladstone and Beaconsheld, and who is
regarded by those who are good judges
as the most astute diplomat in Europe,
1t Is not at all advice that the Roman
church or its leaders are likely to ignore.
Pope Leo knows that his end Is near.
He is older than Bismarck, for he is
near to g. He is far older than Glad
stone. He has seen thrones and dynas-
ties shatter and fall. He he's seen the
map of Europe change score Of times.
He is old and feeble and dying, though
in the hollow of his thin hand he holds
more than monarch's power.
Summonses have gone forth from the
Vatican for the most eminent of the car
dinals and archbishops Of the Roman
Church to meet the Pope while he may
yet give voice to his wishes in regard
to the policy Of the church. md
There may be no doubt as to his pol
icy. It is peace" A soldier himself
while he was priest, he has lived long
enough to see the folly Of war. He has
lived long enough to see Europe turned
into camp, to see anarchy and social
ism assail all governments, and to note
that when war does come Europe will
be devastated. @ ..
But the grand old prelate, easily the
greatest since Leo x. or the great Greg
DRY, has set his hearts desire on main
tanning the policy that has lifted the
Roman Catholic Church In Europe. from
the position in which he found it when
France was flouting it, Germany and
Russia opposing it, when 1t was divided
against itself, and when the hand Of a
strong man was sadly needed. How he
won is an old story. How Bismarck,
Crispi, young Emperor William Of Ger
many, and even the Russian bear had
to treat with him In holding down forces
that they could not control is history.
Without an ar1ny-a prisoner, practical
~, within the. confnes Of his own
grounds-the Pope was yet a dominant
factor In European politics, and b 9 is yet,
aged and infrm though he is, and at the
point OF death. " 3. ~ .s
