The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1904-10-29

the church has been reported a score
of times, but Mr. Maleney has never
admitted the fact. nor will he. The
| converts are there, the sisters are safe
1 within their high walls and the taxes
| are paid. God and the church-and per-
: haps Martin Maloney-know by whom
| and why.
/ The Catholic colony at Spring Lake,
n, j., had no church quite worthy of
J the name in which to worship. Martin
/ Maleney lost his second daughter,
Catherine, by death on the high seas.
and to provide her with a fitting mon
| ument and at the same time meet the
! needs of his Catholic neighbors at
| Spring Lake, he commissioned his
, architect to design st. GATHERINGS
: church, one of the most beautiful edi-
fees in the country. and in crypt in
the church Catherine Maloney sleeps
and there Martin Maloney and all his
Kin will sleep their last sleep.
For these things and for many more
of which the world Knows nothing and
can learn nothing Martin Maloney
was made marquis by the pope. and
for him further honors are in store.
Strangely enough, Mr.. Maloney has no
ambition looking to his own advance
ment III politics. society or the general
affairs of men.
Through plumbing venture, Mr.
Maloney became practically interested
in the problem of lighting and. being
somewhat of an inventive genius he
perfected a burner now to be found on
every gasoline street lamp burning in
the United States. The royalty on this
invention represents the foundation of
his great fortune. The Maloney lamp
was first used to light the Centennial
grounds. and today the same burners
are used wherever oil is used for street
illumination.
In 1877 Pittsburg adopted the Ma
loney burner, and from time to time
since every important city in TIE
United states has taken it up, and to-
day scores of lighting corporations
have no real excuse for being except
the right to use the Maloney burner
for lighting by gasoline.
Spring Lake is the especial hobby
of Mr. Maloney. He regards the place
as the garden spot of the world. and
each year upon his return from his
tour he suggests, and with his own
money, makes some great. and costly
