 ARCHBISHOP FARLEY'S TRIBUTE
 New York, July 21.-Archbishop Far ley of this city has paid his tribute to the dead pope in the following lan- guage:
 ''The history of his pontifcate, with its marvels and it's blessings, point to Leo XIII as having been pre-eminently a chosen instrument in the hands of divine Providence. A great pope, his gifted soul could soar up to and find congenia1 atmosphere among the sub- lime hearts of theology and philosophy, his fatherly heart could feel, and his foresight could provide, for the well being of the humblest of his flock. No other aim nor end than this, indeed, has he had in view in his wise and salutary councils, and in his luminous and en- phatic teachings upon the sacredness of the Christian marriage tie as being the source of the safety and protection of domestic happiness.
 His paternal sOlicitude extended to all peoples. America always had a large share of both his pronounced af- lection and his anxious care.
 With what emotion do l recall the words that fell from those venerable lips as bade him farewell, at the end of a memorable audience, after he had listened to an account of the progress of the church in this, our diocese, dur ing his own lifetime:
 "Ah,' he said, amid my many trials, America is my consolation. There the church enjoys liberty. In the United States she is free to build her churches and her schools unmo1ested. Here 1n Rome. I the vicar of Christ, am as slave, deprived of free action. In Italy, in France, the church is being perse- cuted by those who should defend her. Thank God for the consolation that comes to us from free America.
 ''Strikingly has it been brought home to us many times how his lofty intellect so cultured on every side and so richly stored with the lore of the ages, never ceased to concern itself with everything that made for the pro gress of art, literature and science; how his magnanimous spirit fearless in the cause of truth, threw open the treasures of the vatican library to the scholars of the world; and how his deep love and profoundest apprecia- ton of the highest philosophy man ever cultivated, that of the angel of the schools brought it back to it's rightful place in the esteem of the learned and in the regard of the thoughtful of our own times. cy
 ITO such a father, to such a friend, and to such a pontiff, our hearts go out to-day and our prayers for him go up to heaven in no limited measure"
 JUSTICE BREWERS COMMENT. Chicago, July Through the death of Leo XIII the world has lost one of it's great men," said Justice Da- vid J. Brewer of the United States SUI preme court, who has arrived here from the west on his way to Washing ton.
 '"The heroic battle which the pope fought against death,' said the jus tice ''and his final dissolution, have to a great extent wiped out the sec tarian differences among the Christian churches of the world and brought their members closer in mutual sym pathy.
 teThe long sickness and final death of Leo XIII caused Catholics and Pro- testants to forget their religious differ ences and together mourn the loss of a great man."
