The death is announced of Very Rev.
DIR. Hogan, of st. Sulpice, Paris, which
took place there on Sept 20. For a
great number of years DIR. Hogan
maintained in France and in America
the best traditions of the Irish church,
uniting in his person those national
characteristics of learning and sanctL
ty, which won for him the respect and
veneration Of the people and clergy
among whom he lived and labored in
both countries. DR.. Hogan was born
at Cooareagh, in the county Clare, in
the year 1929. He left ireland whilst
still boy and went to live with
some relatives in the South of France.
There he studied classics and mathe-
matics and in due course entered the
seminary of Bordeaux, where he was
ordained a. priest. He was in Paris
during the period Of the Commune,
and narrowly escaped sharing the fate
of Archbishop Darboy, whom he Wis
lifted in prison. When DR.. Hogan left
Paris for the United. States, in 1884,
he received an address from the clergy
OF Paris, headed by the late Mgr.
d'Hulst, bearing testimony to the af-
lection and gratitude Of his pupils,
iSince. then he had been president Of
the Ecclesiastical Seminary Of Boston
with the exception Of few years that
he spent as president OF. the Divinity
College at Washington University
Away from ireland all his life, DR.
Hogan cherished the deepest affection
for his native land, and sympathized
with every effort that was made to
lift her from poverty and oppression

than one of his letters, the warm wei.

Sulpice from his countryman there
while he was in exile in Paris. The
late J. p. Leonard was his intimate
friend. Many Irish visitors to Paris
called to see him, and he was always
ready to do them any service in his
power. DIR. Hogan was a near rela
tive of DIR. Hogan, Of Maynooth, and

Ireland is already threatened with q
s.royal VISIT" or visitation. The Dub
lin Freeman's Journal of Oct. 5 states
that the arranged program is as fol
lows: "Thc king and queen are to ar
rive in Dublin Immediately before the
next Punchestown races. They are tc
stay at the viceregal Lodge, and tc
attend the races. They will not visit
the South at all. They are to pay
short visits to the Marquis of London
derry, the Duke Of Abercorn, and the
city of Belfast. Their entire stay II
ireland will only last a fortnight. AT
ter the visit Earl Cadogan will resign
the viceroyship and be created Duke
of Chelsea. His successor will be
Earl Beauchamp, now governor of New
South Wales" 1t has long been an
open secret that Lord Cadogan was
anxious to get away from Dublin cas-
tie; but the De Beers-C Chamberlain
ministry could not afford to let him &
till they had played their "royal visit
card, which they expect may and III
raising those additional military rein
forcements, for which Lord Kitchener
is urgently clamoring.
