Mgr. Martir ELL.

No description can give adequate idea
of his eyes and the modelling of his
chin. They are wonderful eyes. They
are set far apart and deep. They are
dark brown. They are so luminous, so
kindly so marvellously expressive that
they seem to express his thoughts be-
fore he utters them. The lines of his
face are very firm, but there are none
that compare with thos eof the jaw
and chin. The maxillary muscles do
not bulge, but the strength there de-
mands your attention. The chin is
neither square nor pointed. 1t is deli
cate, yet powerful. His face shows
those qualities that have made him IA
nous - determination, zeal, breadth,
discretion, wisdom, sure and delicate
judgment, sympathy and, above all,
force.
The Most Rev. DR.. Sebastian Marti-
nelli is Archbishop Of Ephesus, having
been elevated to that rank or August
30 last. He was born near LucIa ltaiy
in 184S. His elder brother, who was
Cardinal Martin ali when he Led, boat
eight years ago, was connecced with
the Order of st. Augustine. II was In
the College of irish Augustinlans on
the banks of the TibeT that Dr. Marti.
nelli acquired thorough knowledge Of
English. He became professor in the
college on June 6, 1865, teaching theol-
ogy there until the death of Father
Memo, whom he succeeded as the head
of the order. While Superior
he lived in st. Monica's House, in st.
Peters Square, Rome.
Mgr Martinelli made his first ap-
pearance as the Papal Delegate in
America in St. Aloysius' Church in
this city, where Cardinal Satolll cele-
brated pontiical high mass, and tie
Rev. William O'Brien Pardow, OF New
York delivered the serlnon.
Cardinal Satolli will return to Rome,
where the Holy Father will place his
cardinals red hat upon his head. This
hat Is about three feet in diameter, and
1t is not for wear, nor is it seen pub
ltciy again until after the Cardinals
death. wher 1t is hung over the main
altar in his titular church.
The removal of Bishop Keane from
the rectorship of the Catholic Univer.
sity is now regarded as a victory for
Archbishop CorrigaG and his party in
the church. If this be true. it must be
regarded as the most important event
In the history of the church since Arch
bishop Ireland appealed to Rome to
sustain him against Archbishop COrri-
gan. AT that time the Archbishop of
st. Paul won or seemed to win nota-
BILE victory. He certainly procured an
utterance from Rome which his friends
professed to regard as an Endorsement
of himself and a rebuke for the Arch
bishop of New York. The appointment
of Cardinal, then Archbishop, Satolli,
which followed soon afterward, was
known to be agreeable to Mgr Ireland
and in opposition to the expressed
wishes OF the ultramontane arch
bishops.
Now, 1t appears, Archbishop Corri an
has found at the Vatican a reaction of
sentiment in his favor. 1t would, per-
haps, be too much to say that aftcv
five years waiting he has his revenge
For II anything is clear ii is that the
arrival of Mgr, Martinelli, and especial.
ly the removal of Bishop Keane, Is dis
tasteful to the Ireland party. Many
evidences of this are to be found even
ON the surface. To begin with, 1t is
obvious that the deposition of the rec
tor was not only shock but surprise
to him and his friends, Not one OF
them seems to have had the slightest
forewarning OF the event. Bishop
Keane. with admirable self-control, has
cloaked his chagrin in professions OF
loyalty to the Holy See. but 1t must
not be forgotten that without delay
and without answering, he declined the
empty honor OF titular archhishnnrin
