first established, but SatOlli was Sc

Industry has been Mgr. Falconio's
keynote of success. He has always
been a hard worker and attributes his
rise in the Catholic church to persist
ency rather than to extraordinary abil-
fly
The residence of the apostolic dele
gate at Washington is one of the his
toric houses of the national capital.
Prior to the civil war the land on which
it stands was owned by Stephen y.
Douglas and Vice President Breckin-
ridge. At the close of the war n num-
Der of the friends and admirers of
General Grant bought the property, on
which Breckenridge had in the mean
time erected a large dwelling, and gave
it to the general. When Grant ceased
to reside in Washington and General
Sherman took command; of the army,
some of the latter's New York friends
purchased the house and Furnishings
from General Grant and presented it
to General Sherman, who occupied it
until 1874. Sherman divided the house
by building a partition through the cen
ter, and one-half of the original struc-
ture now serves for the apostolic dele
CATION.
The functions OF Mgr, Falconio are
largely ecclesiastical, and from a diplo-
matte standpoint the position of dele
gate is by no means on a par with that
of the ministers from the various for
eign nations, as is the case at The
Hague and in Spain and in Austria,
where the Vatican has regularly ac-
credited diplomatic representatives. The
late Pope Leo was always anxious for
the establishment of such diplomatic
relations between Washington and the
holy see.
While diplomatic relations have not
existed between this government and
the Roman church for many years, in
tercourse between Washington and the
Vatican has always been of the most
friendly nature.
The order of Franciscans, to which
Mgr. Falconio belongs, takes it's name
from st. Francis of Assist, one of the
most revered of the canonized saints OF
the Roman church. In medieval Eu-
rome the Franciscans went everywhere.
Then, as now, they wore the plain
brown robe with wisp of white about
the waist. Their numerical strength
is estimated at 100000.

Army of the Republic is not a political
organization. We have but
three objects obligatory upon US as
members of this order-namely, to
promote the love and practice of fra

and unequivocal loyalty. The founders
of the order were actuated by the fact
that when the war ended we had on

stated that 100000 members were en-
rolled in 1867, the year following its
organization, but for the succeeding ten
years there was great falling off, and
in 1879 the membership was but A, I03.
1t was in 1880 that the first real
growth of the organization was noted,
nearly 1900 new members being
added. The increase from this time
on was rapid, the membership jumping
to $4,000 i'll the following year, when
Paul Van der WORT. the sergeant,
was commander I'm chief.
The largest increase in membership
in any one year was in 1888, when Gen
eral Robert L. Beath, the historian of
the Grand Army of the Republic, was
its commander in chief. He added to
the rolls the names of S7,412 veterans,
bringing the membership up to 215,44S.
There were several causes for this phe-
nomeRal gain. General Beath was Il
good business man and used business
methods in the management of the or
ganiZation. 1t was also the year of the
organization of the Woman'S Relief
corps, and this auxiliary has alway $

The membership reached high water
mark in 1890. the rolls showing 409,4S9.
The next year this membership dropped

rapid, the report for 1902 showing but
263, T45 on the rolls. The average an
nual decrease since high water mark
in 1890 has been 14.000.
