lie was seized with severe cold and
was compelled to seek his bed. Though
he was obliged TO break engagements TO
lecture, no alarm was felt by his friends
until the following Monday, when he
suffered asevere chill. The first serious
attack occurred November &c, and a day
or two later there was consultation of
physicians. 1t was announced that DR..
McGlynn was suffering from chronic
kidney disease. Early in December DR..
McGlynn suffered two attacks of heart
failure and his relatives were hurriedly
summoned. He rallied, however, and
until Saturday night he appeared to be
holding his own and gradually regained
strength. He was able to sit by his
bedside for few minutes each day, but
was never able to leave his room. DR.,

robust and of fine physique, but he be-

DR.. McGlynn early developed a line Of In
dependent thought which was destined to

make him trouble within the church for
the upbuilding of which he incessantly la
bored. He was seldom in full sympathy
with the teachings of the authorities Of
the church regarding questions of public
policy. His opposition 10 the parochiaI
school system was a striking Illustration
of his Independence He never hesitated 10
declare his belief that Catholic children
should be educated in the public schools.
He also deemed it his duty, as well as privi-
lege, TO engage in politics.
DR.. McGlynn's participation in the NUM-
cipal campaign in this city In 1856, when
he expressed his sympathy with the single
tax teachings Of Henry George, who was
then a candidate for mayor, was regarded
by the vatican as "pernicious activity"
Archbishop Corrigan admonished him that
his course did not meet the approval of his
ecclesiastical superiors, but DR.. McGlynn
nevertheless remained an active worker in
the cause until election day. After that he
was summoned TO Rome. but refused to
obey the papal summons. To him was
granted 40 days in which TO comply with
the order and defend himself before the
vatican. In July, 1887. he was eXcommuni-
Gated, being notified of the action by Arch
bishop Corrigan.
For six years DR.. McGlynn remained
without the church, md during that time
his conduct was such as TO inspire the
greatest admiration. At no time did he rail
at his fate or denounce those who had
brought disgrace upon him. He continued
his work Of charity among the poor, and
never forsook his position of independence.
In 1898 the ban OF cXcommunicai was
lifted from his shoulders, but II was more
than another year before he received a
church. On Christmas day. 1894. he ccle
brated mass for the first time since his cx-
communication, and on the following New

knew that she had received the one

Slowly the general in chief rose from
his chair, and, advancing to the vindi-
Gated man, grasped his hand; Margaret
laughed and wept by turns, while the
rest of us threw up our hats and shout
ed. When quiet was restored Gen.
Heath concluded:
you are aware, general, that during
the period of my service in the west ru-
mors have been current that have
been secretly and treacherously aiding
the enemy. 1t is now plain.whence this
secret malignant influence came. Be-
rante was made prisoner at Shiloh and
had the ear of union officers. Having
been exchanged before Chickamauga
he was present at that battle and had
an opportunity to converse with the
union officers captured there. I leave
you to infer whence came the reports
that the confederate successes were
largely due to a friend in the union
army, that friend being myself. Atlast
I am confronted with the author of nv
misfortunes. I am unable to punish
him, for he has come into our lines
pledged to protection, but I thank the
Great Jehovah, the God of battles and
of peace, that from this time forward
he will be powerless to injure me-"
Notwithstanding wars horrors, it
has it's pleasurable episodes. My most
delightful remembrance of that period
of strife and suffering is the few min
utes following the exit of Col. Archard
and Maj. Berante. There was sudden
wringing of hands, eyes looking into
eyes that danced triumphant, a babel of
congratulations. AS for me, forgetting
myself completely, threw my arms
around everybody in the room except
the general-in-chief. embraced, sue
cessiyely, the general, Margaret, Punk,
and Georgia, whose enthusiasm, great
as it was, did not prevent her giving me
box on the ear, which she afterwards
admitted was not for the caress, but be-
cause Of its publicity.
Our expressions of joy were inter-
rupted by the general-in-cl,ief taking
Heath aside and speaking With him in a
tone which, though too low to be heard
by the others, brought 81 light into his
eye that I had not seen there for
months. Then the commander of the
armies of the west offered Margaret cs-
pecial thanks for the great service she
had rendered and hurried away. What
he was going to do did not know then.
but the next day the thunder of his
guns told me that he was taking utvan-
tage of the absence of Longstrcet's
corps from the army of the Tennessee,
fighting and winning the battle OF Mis-
siouary Ridge-a battle which marked
the beginning of the end OF the confcd-
eracy.
