FREDERICK BARAGA.
Interesting Biography of the
Great Indian Mis-
siOnary. {
THE CONCLUDING CHAPTER
His Death at Marquette i'm 1868
the Cause of Universal
Mourning.
Concluded from issue of May as.)

The charitable soul of Bishop Bar
aga, who for quarter OF century
had been toiling for the spiritual and
temporal welfare of the Chippewas
of Lake Superior, and for whose
benefit he had expended all the
money he had realized from the
capitalization of his patrimonial in
come, was greatly consoled by the
results of his beneficient efforts, in
the evident improvement in the
social condition of the Christian
people of this unfortunate race. The
triumph of Bishop Baraga in wean-
ing the wild Chippewas from a
nomadic to semi-civilized life, be-
ing understood, will be more gener-
ally appreciated. He had not only
converted one generation of wild
Chippewas from Paganism to
Christianity, but with the practice
of Christian life came the improve
ment of home, with the habits of
industry The scenes of semi-star-
walton and of misery which met his
eyes when he first came among the
tribes, and which appalled, his soul,
has disappeared from among the
Christian communities he had re-
deemed from barbarism.
In order to attend council of
his brother bishops at Cincinnati, ;"
writes Very Rev. Edward Jacker,
'the venerable prelate travelled
distance of over $50 miles, partly on
snowshoes and partly in an open
sleigh in midwinter, while the
weather was exceedingly severe.
He arrived at Thunder Bay, on the
western shore of Lake Huron, quite
sick and almost frozen. From the
hardships endured during this jour
ney he never entirely recovered. "
October Is, 1865, the see of Mar
quette was created jointly with that
of Sault st. Mary, and Bishop Bar
aga, after a residence of twelve
years at the Sault, transferred his
cathedra and residence to Marquette.
Dating from the time of that fear
full journey on the ice and snow,
when he arrived at Thunder Bay,
half-frozen and i'll, commences the
physical decline of Bishop Baraga.
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1898-06-11

and responsibilities, was harder to
endure than the toll incidental to
his missionary life during former
years. This burden, he asserts,
tended to weaken the vitality of his
naturally strong constitution, and
to bring his career to premature
end. In October, 1866, Bishop Bar
aga attended the Plenary Council at
Baltimore, and was the guest of the
archbishop. While procession of
prelates was forming at the arch
episcopal residence, Bishop Baraga
was stricken down with an apoplec-
tic stroke. In falling, his episcopal
cross fell between his head aud the
pavement, inhicting deep wound
from which blood flowed freely,
thereby saving his life.
ga few days before starting for
Baltimore, writes Father Bourbon
to Archbishop Purcell, of Cincin-
natl, Bishop Baraga had had already
a kind of an attack of apoplexy, but
it was only the foretaste of the other
severe attack which would have
terminated his life at Baltimore had
not God provided the only remedy
at the same time that he fell. His
pectoral cross upon which he fell,
las stated before), by infiicting a
severe wound near the carotid
artery and causing the blood to flow
abundantly, saved him from an in
Simultaneous death. God had heard
his prayers, he had to come up and
die, as he used to say, in the middle
of his flock This reminds me of the
answer he made me one day at the
hospital of ST. Agnes in Baltimore.
l used to 60 and visit him before and
after the sessions of the council, and
once at the request of some bishops
| gave him to understand that it
would be better for his health should
he stay the rest of his life in milder
region than Lake Superior, that his
stiffened and already cold limbs
would not stand very long the pierc
ing blasts of our northern country,
and that they would shorten his
davs. Obi / shall ever remember
the pitiful and sorrowful look that
his lordship threw at me. That
thought of being left away from his
flock almost caused him another at
tack. 'No," said he, firmly, 81
must go and die where have lived,
and even should | die on the way
going home, must try to 90 back. "
The day after, fearing that some of
the fathers would propose the ques-
tion for the consideration of the
bishops, he came out from the hos
pital, and at his request we started
for home Immediately, without even
calling at the archbishop S residence.
He was weak, very weak, during the
whole journey. l had to hold him
upon my arms, and when necessary
to change cars ! had to carry him
from one car to the other. / scarcely
believed then that he would live to
see Lake Superior again, | was al
most sure that he would die on our
way home. But no! God had re.

solved, after having afflicted him
bodily, to give him to drink the
chalice Of affliction to the dregs.
When we arrived at Marquette he
had the greatest difficulty in speak
ing and he could not take o step
alone. Notwithstanding his weak
ness, we hoped that he would live
until spring. Three weeks before
he died, he sent for me. He was
very low and he thought that he
must surely die that same day. The
palsy had attacked the lungs and he
could scarcely take breath. The
remedies which he took gave him
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1898-06-11

From the effects of this exposure he
never recovered. For four years he
continued to fail. In 1866, symptoms
of palsy, hereditary disease in his
family, became manifest; his right
hand became partly paralyzed. In
September, 1866, he made his last
entry in the journal he had kept for
many years. He preached for the
last time in st. AIMS church at
Hancock, three different sermons in
the French, English and German
languages, but he found on this oc-
casion that his voice was failing.
Very Rev. Father Jacker states that
prior to these events the burden of
his episcopal Office, with its cares
