BY a pathetic and unforeseen coin
cidence. the charming "reminiscences
of the eminent Catholic novelist. Mary
A. Sadlier, by her daughter, Anna T..
Sadlier, in Donahoe's Magazine for
April, Mrs. Sadlier's EARLY Life, Her
Books and Friends but briefly pre-
cede the announcement of her lament
ed death
Mrs. Sadlier was contributor to The
Pilot nearly half a century ago. Her
first serial, a prize story, Willy
Burke was republished from these
columns in book form and seven thou
sand copies sold within six weeks. She
also wrote an historical novel. The
Red Hand of Ulster" for The Pilot.
This is not the moment for critical
estimate of her work. 1t is enough to
say that her books have borne the test
OF the years. and many of them are
o. immense value as faithful pictures of
Irish-American life in the middle dec
AIDES of the century. Their spiritual
influence is of nature to set their au
thor among those who instruct others
unto Justice and who are destined to
shine as stars for all eternity.-The
Pilot.
Rev. DR.. John Zahm of Notre Dame,
Ind, provincial of the congregation of
the Holy Cross of the United States.
has arrived here. after visiting the
branch of the order in France, which
is among those ordered to disband. He
is continuing making arrangements to
send a large number of the members
to the United States. When Father
Zahm was seen at the Academy of the
Holy Cross here, which is the second
largest in France the place showed
signs of confusion and disorder follow
ing the notification to disperse. Pack
ers were hastily filing trunks and TAX
ing down the paintings of founders and
other valuables, some of which will be
shipped to the United States. Father
Zahm spoke more in terms of pity than
He said this and other
academies represented the life work of
those who had been ordered to dis
band. The effect would be particular
ly severe on the old men and sisters of
the formal orders
They retain only their personal be-
longings and lose their schools and
and buildings. and hereafter
will be unable to wear the habit of the
order and continue work as members of
the congregation. Those who are able
to travel will take up new work and
are going to the United States, Canada
and India. AS the result of Mr.. Zahm,s
visit, 100 brothers and. priests and 100
sisters are going to the United States
and about the same number to Canada.
He says most of them speak French
and German. so they will be distrib-
lted among the colleges and will teach,
Those who are going to Canada will
settle in the French provinces where
hey will understand the language. DR..
Iahm has not yet determined on the
points where those who are going to
he United States will be located. They
will begin leaving soon in groups.
