Mother Mary lav0la.


On Saturday, April %, Rev. Mother
Mary Loyola, mother prioress of the
Third Order Of st. Dominic, died at the
mother house in Albany, N. Y. While
her health has been impaired for some
time, her death was sudden and unex-
pected and great shock to her spirit
ual children in the various houses Of
the order.
Mother Loyola was born in New York
city some so years ago and was con-
vert to the faith, being received into
the church at Rome at the age Of 20
years. She was the sister Of the foun-
dress of the order in this country which
is known as the American Congregation
Of St. Catherine de Ricci. She was a
highly cultured woman, speaking sew.
eral languages, and Travelled very ex-
tensively in her early years. She pos
sessed rare judgment and tact, and al
though great sufferer for years she
bore all patiently and displayed not the
slightest fear of death. Her sterling
qualities and exalted virtues were no.
where better known or utilized for the
benefit of all around her than in re-
ligion, where her simplicity of manner,
magnetic presence, and gentle, loving
kindness and consideration for others
attached all hearts to her.

The Burial of Moses.

"The Burial of Moses was first
published in the Dublin University |
Magazine, and was written by G. +.
Alexander. The talented authOress
was born near Baron Court, the resi-
dence of the Duke of Abercorn in the
County Tyrone, says Il. Nice. in San
Francisco Monitor. Her father, a
William Humphrey, was land agent for
the dukes estates in that county many
years. SHE was married to DR.. Alex
ander, Bishop of Derry, who some
years ago was translated to the primal
tial see of Armagh, and is still otiiciat-
ing in that city. His wife died several
years ago. The bishop and his wife
were old contributors to the University
Magazine, and many of their poems
are to be found in its pages. On the
appearance of "Thc Burial of Moses"
it received much praise from the crit
les, all agreeing as to the mastery
ability Of the author displayed in the
treatment and solelnnity of her subject.
. / think many of her poems have been
collected and published, but have not
seen them in book form. She was very
popular in Derry, and a veritable blue
stocking in dress, kind to all irrespeet-
five of creeds, and is remembered with
affection by all in the city.
''THE BURIAL OF MOSES"

side Jordan's wave,
In a vale in the land Of Moab, there

And no man knows that sepulcher,

For the angels of God upturned the
sod, and laid the dead man there.

/ That was the grandest funeral that
ever pasesd on earth;
But no man heard the trampling, or

he arose he found every seat occupied.
Beaming with pleasure he astonished
his hearers by saying:

in addition to the money contributed by
ST. Louis citizens. Before the depart

to get permission from the royal
British commission to conduct an indie

but after two months of efforts got

damages to her dwelling, part of which
consisted in the tearing off of single

Swelling with indignation the youth

stripped of all her possessions. Even
the roof which covered her head has
been taken from under her.
Walter Scott liked to tell the story
of his meeting an Irish beggar in the

FEDERAL TROOPS IN RALrrKoRE

The ssger critics OF President Roosevelt who
thought shat they had at last caught him in an
inpulsivs blunder would better think again. His
quick diEpstcL Of troops 10 Baltimore without
waiting for a formal request from the State au-
thOrities, was gleefully seized as an evidence
OF an irreprosEible tendency TO ''butt In which
subjected the federal government 10 Just re-
buke for transcending its authority. On the
assumption that the presence Of the troops was
resented IN Baltimore, the faultfnders felt they
had plausible case. With the preferment as
soon as the necessary red tape can be unrolled
OF an Official request for the use Of troops which
everybody IN Baltimore wants, il would seem
that the reproach for putting IN" lies not
against the President but against those who
are 90 anxious 70 find fault with him that they
rush IN without stopping to learn the facts.
With or without the request Il the Maryland
authorities, the President had a perfect right
20 send troops TO Baltimore IN anticipation OF
possible need for them there. Baltimore is as
much n the United States as New-York. United
States soldiers are as much at home there as
here. II was an act OF wise and foreseeing
statesmRnShip az such a crisis to realize that
the troops were more likely 10 be needed In
Baltimore than anywhere else, and to move
them there n advance OF the need. 50 that II
they were called upon there would be no delays
IN getting trains, but the soldiers would be
ready when wanted.
The movement and disposition OF troops are
absolutely tn the discretion OF the President he
needed no request from anybody to send them
% Baltimore. AS a matter Of fact however,
he did send them at the earnest solicitation OF
Senator German and Governor warfeld with
ont the ofnctal request OF the State authorities
they could not technically be employed as a
posse comitHtus. As the constitution OF Mary
land lodged the power OF asking for federal
military protection In the legislature, and gave

Fencies as many other Governors possess. the

NIKE II PLAM.

The committee on legislation OF the Citizens
Union has reported adversely for various rea-
sons. 10 a number OF bills now under considera-
ZION at Albany. one Of them is a Senate bill
introduced by Mr.. Wilcox, concerning which the
committee says: 1T is a bad amendment, for
1T seeks TO cure defects in certificates OF cor
Hporation or articles OF association by certain
railroad companies in such way as 10 revive
adefunct companies" We are not particularly
Informed as 10 the provisions OF the measure so
described but the committees account Of II is
q reminder OF one OF more Of the railroad grab
hills which fourlshed for time ar the last ses-
sion. but were finally condemned TO death by
public opinion. Their ostensible authors and
ardent advocates were always ready 20 protest
that they meant nothing more than they pur-
ported 10 mean, and that ii was a wicked preJu-
dice which attributed 10 them any other design
than that Of serving a single, legitimate pur-
pose. Bot when the opposition urged The pro-
priety II that were so, OF making the intention
clear beyond the possibility Of dispute, an OBJ
stinate refusal was the invariable reply That
proof OF an I'D concealed colored brother IN the
woodpne justified the hostility, which grew
stronger from day to day and finally defeated
the plans Of the schemers.

effects which the committee foresees are not
intended though iaadvertence is exceedingly
rare in such cases. But IL Mr.. Wilcox has
been deceived. or took too little care TO make
his real object plain, it viii be very easy for
him to set the matter straight. When that has
been done his bill may deserve unanimous sup

men fror, other cities were lending themselves
10 the local department There was 10 VIOLA
ton Of the spirit Of the law, nor any action even
which needed subsequent legislation 20 make
formally correct. The critics, forsOoth are con-
cerned over the risks which they ignorantly
thought the President was taking. lie might
really have attempted TO exercise federal au-
thority 70 keep order in Baltimore before the
pecessarT forrnalities legalizing such step had
been complied with. He did not but they are
stiu unhappy Their distress is because II
such a situation had arisen they would then
have been compelled to rebuke the President
They would have been Sc sorry 10 humiliate
him! He gave them no such chance and there
was not the least likelihood Of his doing IT.
Nevertheless. II the question Of cutting red tape
to save life and property in Baltimore had been
balanced in his mind with protection Of him
self from possible criticism, no doubt he would
have cut the red tape; and the people Of the
United States would think more Of President
who. careless Of himself did the thing that was
needed without fling vouchers for future poliu-
cal auditors thar Of the tmid slave Of techni-
calities who would let a city burn for lack OF
an engraved invitation to save il, ike the old
Spanish courtiers who could not lay hand on
royalty to pull it out Of the fire.
The generous and helpful spirit which sent
hremen and policemen from afar TO work with
the authorities OF Baltimore, without thought
OF anyboGys right to order them there, was not
merely justified but was demanded by the most
sacred law Of humanity. The same spirit took
the federal troops 10 Baltimore. justified the
uses which they were put 10, and would have
justified any further uses which the situation
might have required. The needle-eyed search
ers for technical irregularity in their employ
ment should return 10 their mole hills. HUI
mainly is not small enough for their compre-
kension.

4 NEGLECTED EPIDEMIC.

When a city or town has been sorely afflicted
with some virulent disease IT is not a pleasant
task to censure the public authorities or the citi
zens in general for neglect OF precautions which
would have prevented the outbreak or Of RENE
dial measures which might have diminished its
violence. But for the sake Of inducing greater
attention TO their sanitary requirements on the
part Of other communities, it IS necessary 20
draw q warning from such experience as the
people Of Watertown. in this State, are now
going through. There is an epidemic Of typhoid
fever in that city, which has begun, rs the dis
patches say, to cause deep anxiety. The Won
der is that the inhabitants did not become
alarmed sooner. The population OF Wetertown
is about 22.OO0, the number OF persons down
with the fever is estimated at four hundred. and
a dozen new cases daily show its rapid prog
ress. Yet the fact is made known that a sani-
tary expert has only Just been sent for TO deter
mine the source Of the malsdy. as to which the
local authorities confess themselves bafled. In
cidentally, It is remarked that the existence Of
typhoid germs in the Black River. from which
drinking water is taken unfltered. IS generally
suspected.
Now, watertown IS not an ignorant, helpless
hamlet, but a thriving city, with ample facili-
ties it must be supposed, for looking after its
own welfare, and il does not seem unreasonable
to assert that the quality OF the water which
many people were drinking ought TO have been
determined long ago. II may appear that there
was reason TO believe before the present cpl
demic began that the Black River was a safe
source Of supply, and a competent examination
may show, contrary 10 the prevalent opinion,
that it is not, in fact, contaminated. But il is
obvious that some prolific source Of infection ex-
lists and that II the authorities had not been
dilatory and inefficient 1t would have been dis
covered before it had produced four hundred
cases OF fever in a population Of 22OO0-R pro
portion as large as 10000 cases would be in
the city OF New-YorI. We are sincerely sorry
TO hear Of Watertowns afictiOn and earnestly
hope that the belsted steps now being taken
may prove effectual, but we feel bound 70 say
/ that more melancholy example Of careless
ness has seldom been witnessed in an intelll-
gent community since the nature Of typhoid and
the means by which it Is propagated became a
matter OF common knowledge.
