Edward Keys, formerly of New Hope,
known as 1.-The American prodigy ut
the Catholic University of Rome, died
ON the Fourth of July after an illness
of several weeks. The direct cause of
his death is reported to have been
Bright's disease. At the time of his
death Keys was barely twenty-one
years old.
The scholastic career of Edward Keys
not only commanded the keenest in
terest and admiration of his fellow
students and instructors in this coun-
try, but was regarded by his professors
at Rome ms unprecedented
At an early age the Rev. Francis
Markee, present pastor of St. Philo-
mena's Church, at Eansdowne, Pa,
observed the unusual ability of the
young man and directed the boys
energies toward a scholar life. At IA
he was graduated from the New Hope
High School with almost perfect stand
ing. The following year he entered
st. Josephs College, Philadelphia,
with an examination displaying such
unusual precocity that the faculty
placed him in the third year of the
seven years course.
SO rapidly and masterfully did Keys
grasp the curriculum that he became
eligible for admission to st. Charles =
Seminary, at Overbrook. after three
years study.
After two years study. during which
he won many medals for scholarship,
the professors of st. Charles decided
to send him to Rome, unanimously
agreeing that he was thoroughly fitted
to take up the subject of theology in
the Eternal City. While at Overlook
the honor of being appointed Project
of the Seminary was conferred upon
him by the Rev DIR. Garvey, as o re-
cognition of the great esteem and con
lidenee in which he WIS held.
In the fall of 1902, the gifted student
entered the University of Rome. the
youngest among several hundred. In
the study of moral theology and law
Keys excelled his class, and, in argu-
mentatiVe discussions he won many
victories, finally becoming the admit
ted leader. This honor had been for
years about equally divided between
student from Tipperary, Ireland and
an Armenian Keys was the youngest
man who ever was SO signally distin-
guished, and the first American to
hold the title. AT the time of his death
he was at the head of his class.
Friends and schoolmates in Bucks
county and Philadelphia are deepl Y
grieyed ut the news of his death.
Several former classmates, i'll speaking
of their relations with Keys, declared
| that he was the most remarkable man
| they ever had known, as, aside from
his erudition he was nm athlete of nc
means ability.
His old friend and adviser, the Rev.
Francis Markee, when seen in the rec
tory Mt Lansdowne on Thursday, said
Edward Keys was the most gifted
young man | ever have known. The
world has lost great man.
II is not probable that the body will
be brought to America for intcrment.
Nature has just one pigment on
her palette with which the produces
all the marvellous tints of beauty, and
that one pigment is the blood. The
shell like pink beneath the finger mills,
the delicate rose of the cheek, the
cherry ripencss Of the lips, the irri-
descent brilliance of the eyes are all
produced by the blood. Just as the
permanence of beautiful painting
will depend upon the purity of the
colors with which it is painted, so the
permanence Of beauty depends on the
purity Of the blood. Paint, powder
and cosmetics won't avail to preserve
beauty. Beauty begins in the blood.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is true beautifier, because it provides
for nature that pure blood with which
alone she can paint. The use of this
medicine will cleanse the skin, ,heighten
the complexion, brighten the eyes and
give to face and form that radiance Of
health which is the greatest charm Of
beauty. DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
are very effective in Kidding the sys-
tenn of elogging residuum, which nc.
cumulates with constipated habit.
