PASSING AWAY OF
FATHER P. F. PARIsOT
Died at Castroville Sunday, July
u, Aged 76.-Oldest Priest
in Point of Service
in Texas.
San Antonio Express:

Rev. z. F. Parisot, 0. NJ. l., the
last survivor of the first missiona-
ries who came to Texas after the
interregnum following the secular
ization of the Spanish missions
incident to the independence Of
Mexico, died at Castroville Sunday
night at the age of rs. The re-
mains we're brought to San Anto-
Mo Monday. At 4 o'clock this
afternoon the Office of the dead will
be said in st. Mary church, where
the body will lie in state until the
funeral hour Wednesday morning
at o'clock.
Father Parisot was the oldest
priest in point of service in Texas.
He was born May 20, 1927, at
Pambacourt, Department Of the
Voages, Lorrine, France. On Feb.
: Is, 1852 he was ordained a priest
by Monsignor Desmaznod, the
founder of the congregation of
Oblates. Shortly after his ordina-
ton he went to Paris, where he
joined Bishop Odin and several
others who were bound for Texas.
The party included Bishop Odin,
eighteen seminaries, six Oblates, of
which number Father Parisot was
one, and a lay brother, Peter
Roudet, who is now a priest at
Eagle Pass. At his death Father
Parisot was the sole survivor of this
little band of devoted missionaries
who came to reclaim a vineyard |
which had been practically aban-
doned during the troublous days
succeeding the Hidalgo movement. |
They arrived at Galveston May
20, 1852. Father Parisot was
chosen to visit the Catholic families
which were scattered between Gal
weston and Nacogdoches. His travels
on these visits took him as far East
as Shreveport, La. He also visited
the district where Dallas, Fort
Worth and other Northern cities
were built, undergoing in his work
many hardships.
During the civil war Father
Parisot was a Confederate chaplain
at Brownsville under General
Magruder and H. P. Bee, father of
District Attorney Carlos Bee.
He was one of the founders of st.
Mary's University at Galveston,
and later on he founded st. Joseph's
College and the Convent of the
1ncarnate Word at Brownsville.
In the early days of st. Mary's
College and the Ursuline Convent
in this city, Father Parisot was
connected with these institutions as
chaplain. For a while he was also
pastor of st. Mary's church in this
city.
The latter part of his life he spent
at Castroville as chaplain of the
convent of the Sisters of Divine
Providence. There he has conduct
ed laborious historical investiga-
lions and his death interrupted
most valuable work which he was
on Texas. He was the
author Of "reminiscences of a Tex
as Missionary" a book which
his recollections of his life
work.
Father Parisot celebrated his
fftieth anniversary as a priest on
Feb. 10, 1902, at St. Mary's church,
where the BODY is living today.

Yesterday Salome Ramirez, son

Last Saturday week a certain
inhabitant Of this village, hight
Pablo Olive, was arrested for SNUG
Cling cigarettes. The aforesaid Pa
bio has oft been a boarder of the
State, and should be moro philoso-
phical. But he looks upon himself
as a martyr, and on his return
from town he announced a bale
with discurso by himself. The ball
was largely attended, and the ora
ton was a scorcher. Therein he
denounced his denouncers, intimat-
ed that he knew who they were,
and that they were without shame,
and a disgrace.
Late that same night one Pom
ciano, a lineal descendant OF the
Conquistador of Mexico, called up
on the doughty Pablo, and re-
monstrated with him-with his
fist. Pablo was valiant, full of Dutch
courage, gained from the distilled
juice of the Maguey, and he smote
upon his foe. The blows fell thick
and fast, the surrounding men ap-
pIauded, and the fray began to be
gory-red-red. Then some CON-
passionate individual, who was
after fee, pulled them apart, and
fixed them ready for the juez.
Tuesday was the trial, and both
we're fined.
Wednesday the mounted in
spectors came again to the rancho,
seized upon Pablo and bore him
off. He was accused OF having a
gallon of mezcal in his possession. /

great sampler. He hasn't come

POVERTY MAY KNEEL
IN A FRONT PEW
Court Holds That a Poor Man Has
Equal Rights in the Sanctuary.

KANSAS CITY. May Poverty does
not constitute a valid excuse for the
action OF wealthy members of a religi-
Gus organization in refusing to permit
a poor man to occupy one of the choice
pews. according to a decision hat has
been handed down in the circuit court
in this city.
Samuel Graves, a pawnbroker, sold a
pew in the synagogue OF the COngrega-
ton Comad Cheese, to H. Jagota, shoe
maker, for $65.
When Jagota sought to transfer his
seat from an obscure location in the
back of the synagogue to his new pew.
he was met by opposition on the part of
some of the worshipers who are men of
means and social standing.
The president of the congregation told
him that he could not sit in the pew,
He persisted, but was unable to get into
It over a barricade of chairs which had
been piled at the entrance.
Jagota refused to contest the matter,
and would not pay Graves the $c5.
Graves sued the congregation. charging
that because of the acts of the aristo-
cratic members he was unable TO com
plete his contract with the shoemaker.

BbLFOUR TALKS ON

Speaks at Banquet Where Andrew
Carnegie Presides.

LONDON, May 9.-Andrew Carnegie
presided last night at the annual dinner
OF the Iron and Steel Institute. There
were 500 guests, including the Duke Of
Devonshire. president of the council;
Prime Minister Balfour, Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman. John Morley. Am
bassador Choate, and Henry White. sec
rotary of the American embassy.
Mr. Carnegie. in toasting the King,
described his majesty as a great am
bassador, the friend of every country,
and a great harmonizing force. whose
efforts made for peace between the ma
tons of the world.
Prime Minister Balfour said he pro-
foundly distrusted the creed that the
prosperity of one nation was the adyers
ity OF another. and that the man who
attempted to depress the prosperity Of
another nation helped the prosperity of
his own. OF course. it was undeniabIe
that there was some real basis of truth
in the commercial rivalry of nations,
but he was firmly convinced that such
opposition of interest YVES absolutely in
significant compared with the great com
munlty Of interest in which it ought to
be lost and forgotten. The same was
true regarding collisions of interest be
tween employers and employed. No
body could persuade him that in the
long run what was good for the en-
ployed was bad for the employers, and
vice versa

Governor Cummins recently paid a

practical one TO be governed by the
