Gave Up His Life While Try

of others.
Tribute Paid to His Memory
by the Only Woman
Survivor.
BLESSED THE DOOMED PASSENGERS

A grand and beautiful figure against
the background of horror and death
on board the sinking Bourgogne was
a New York priest, the Rev. Anthony
Kesseler, the "Saint of Harlem"
When the ship went down he was
granting dissolution. Indifferent to
his own life, he died saving souls, his
face turned toward heaven, his hands
outstretched in blessing. A nobler
.example-.-of Christian fortitude, of.
heroic self abnegation, has never been
witnessed.
After thirty. three years of continu-
Gus labor, without one vacation, in St.
Joseph's parish, he was returning to
the home of his boyhood in Germany.
1t had'been the dream of his life to
revisit that home, yet so remarkable
was his devotion to duty that he would
not have left his flock even for day
had not a committee of priests and
parishioners waited upon him and
begged him to go.
He was the best loved priest in
New York. He was known the
length and breadth of Harlem as a
saint. The Catholic church mourns
his loss. No priest was ever hon.
ored with higher ceremonies than
was he at the requiem mass at St.
Joseph's on Tuesday, and the ex-
traordinary honor of Pontifcal high
mass at the Catholic Cathedral was
given him, Archbishop Corrigan pre-
siding.
Mrs. A. de Lacasse, the only
woman survivor of the wreck of the
Bourgogne, and an eyewitness of his
heroism, has written to the New York
Sunday Journal this inspiring story of
his heroic last moments and of his
death
Father Kesseler was the hero of the
Bourgogne. He died that others
might live. He forgot to don his life
preserver, and gave no thought to the
battle unto death for a place in the
life-boats when the ship was sinking.
He spent all the precious moments
when he might have been saving his
life in trying to save the souls of
others. He died at his post on the
deck of his vessel, his face turned to-
ward the darkling sky, his hands out
stretched in blessing.
He deserves canonization, this late
Saint Anthony of active virtues.
He died while granting absolution.
He would have saved while others
destroyed.
! am Protestant, but l revere this
Catholic priest as / do no other hero
of the world.
The sublimity of his sacrifice APP
peals to my religious fervor. The
picturesqueness of his act challenges
my artistic appreciation.

Good locks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital Or

have bilious look; if your stomach is
disordered, you have dyspeptic look;
if your kidneys are affected, you have
piEched look. Secure good health
and you will surely have good looks.

After the war Mrs. Brownell and her

Mrs. Sarah Edmonds Seelye. also a
member of the Grand Army of the Re-

soldiers uniform during the civil war
aud participated in it's hardships and
dangers. In 1861 she was living with
her parents in small Michigan town.
They insisted upon her marrying man
she did not love, and to avoid this she
enlisted in Company f, Second Michi-
gan infantry, under the name of Frank
Thompson. She served as an orderly at
the battle of Fredericksburg, was a
most skillfuI rider and carried messages
through showers of shot and she'll with
a fearlessness that attracted the atten-
tion and secured the commendation of
field and general officers.
The most notable example on the side
of the south was that of Mme Loretta
Janeta Velazquez, otherwise known as
Lieutenant Harry T. Buford. She was
born of noble Spanish family in the
city Of Havana in 1912 and afterward
resided in Texas. Soon after the out
break of the civil war she donned male
attire and secured commission in the

to a hospital. and there the secret she
had SO jealously guarded was discovered
by her physician, DIR. Banta. On her re-

forthwith proceeded to deliver a letter
to General Patterson intrusted to her
by DIR. Banta. An hour later she was
summoned before the general and ques-

had marched to the cannon's mouth
without tremor, fell in a dead faint.
Upon being restored to consciousness
Deborah Sampson confessed all, was
forgiven and received her discharge
from General Knox, with high recon-
mendations from Generals Patterson
and Shepard.
After her return home she married

where she was given pension and the
usual allotment of land made to ex-sol-

Many women served as soldiers on
both sides during the civil war. One of
the most conspicuous of these was Mrs.
Kady Brownell, who was regularly en-

under General Burnside for three years
and was color bearer at Bull Run. She
was born in Caffaria, South Africa, in
1842, her father being Scottish colonel
