The Address.
Rev. William O'Brien Pardow delivered
the address of the evening, and he sue
ceeded not only in telling of the good deeds
that had been done and the great work
accomplished by the retiring delegate, but
ne succeeded in entertaining his audience
every minute he occupied the floor
He prefaced his remarks by giving n
glowing description of the hall and telling
the people of the parish that they should
be congratulated, not only because of the
1act that they had erected SO fine a struc-
ture, but also because they had so great
a man as Father Gillespie at the head of
the work.
Speaking of Cardinal Satolli he said that
when he came TO this country there was
a great work before him, and he has taught
lessons which the clergy as well as the
iaity will never forget. He has stood out
as one against the divorce between church
and education, and he is undoubtedly right
IN his teaching that they should not be
separated. for book learning should not be
given at the risk of losing a soul Re
ilgion and education should always go hand
IN hand Satolli has told the clergy that
there Is no use in building up new re-
ligion or philosophy, for the old religion
of years ago is the true one, and that
cannot be changed. The cardinal will re-
turn to Rome. he said, not as a mem
Der OF the Vatican, but "our delegate"
fully familiar with the American customs
and institutions. And he will not return
without knowledge of the national game
base ball. When he witnessed the game he
trar slated all the hits in Latin and want ed
to make = study of the game even before
it was commenced.
he, (,,r
the Vatican, said Father Pardow, ne will
certainly be the one to stand up for the
rights OF America, and see that her inter-
ests are always protected.
When reference was made to Father
Gillespie and the work he had accomplish
ed there was an outburst of applause and
again his reference to the pastor was SO
loudly applauded that Father Pardow re-
him: there he is.
Referring to the loyalty Of the cardinal
to America Father Pardow said that there
were people who disputed some things in
Catholic history, and he said that they are
not nor will they ever be Americans. In
conclusion he paid a glowing tribute to
Archbishop Martinelli, whom he knew
would take up the work where Cardinal
Satolli left off.
Happy Response.
DR.. Rocker made a happy response on
behalf of the cardinal, and conveyed the
latter's thanks to the vast audience, as
well to St. Aloysius Church people and
those of the college, for the many cour-
tesies shown him. He made an amusing
reference to ST. AIoSsius clock and told of
what Father Gillespie expects to accom-
p!ish in a short time.
After few remarks by Father Gillespie
the evenings program concluded with hand
shaking. and because of the large audience
this ceremony di not conclude until a
late hour.
Severed His Relations.
Cardinal Satolli has now severed his Off
cial relations with the church in America,
and yesterday he addressed letter to
Cardinal Rampola, as follows:
APOSTOLIC DELEGATION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
WASHINGTON, October t. 1896
"Your Excellency: After the holy father
had shown his sovereign goodness by ele-
waiting me to the dignity of the cardinalate
naturally no great length of time could
elapse before he should recall me and name
my successor in the Office of this apostolic
delegation.
HE has named to succeed me the illus
trious prelate, his excelency, Mgr. Sebas-
tias Martinelli who, for his distinguished
qualities of mind and for his endowment of
prudence, has rightly been deemed well
fitted to fill the requirements of this office
and to furnish the greatest good in the
spiritual government of the Catholic
Church IN this great country, where the
most striking and noblest characteristic is
the universal love of justice, charity and
peace. Mgr. Martinelli has now arrived
and from this day assumes, as apostolic
delegate, the high office which the holy
father has intrusted to him, with all the
accompanying faculties and powers.
while conveying to your excellency this
information, most cordially fulfill CRATE
full duty by thanking your excellency for
all the kindness you have shown me from
the time of my arrival in this country up
to today. I am sincerely grateful for all
your goodness, indulgence and cooperation
in everything which pertained to the duties
of my office. 1t only remains for me to
wish you health and prosperity for many
years to come in the exercise of your epis-
copal ministry.
With sentiments of highest esteem and
fraternal charity, l remain,
Most faithfully yours, in Xt,
FIR. CARDINAL SATOLLI"
