THE POPE GRANTS PRIVILEGE
The Rev. Luis Martin Still Cele-
brates Mass Although His
Right Arm Is
P..,o,,el
Removed.
Special Dispatch TO Evening Capital

New York, May 25-Information has
been received here from Rome that
the Pope will accord TO the Very Rev
Luis Martin, General of the Jesuits.
the extraordinary privilege of still
celebrating mass, although his right
arm has been amputated
One of the strietest rules of the
Roman Catholic Church is that in re-
gard to what are designated the 'tca-
nonical fingers of the priests. These
are the thumb and index finger of
each hand. which alone are allowed
to touch the Blessed Sacrament. They
are especially annointed with holy oil
when the priest is ordained. AS stated
in the cable dispatches some time ago
Father Martin, owing to a cancerous
ffaction, had to have his whole right
arm amputated.
This would ordinarily have prevent
ed his ever celebrating mass again.
When the Pope learned of the opera.
tion and that Father Martin was rally
ing from the effects he said that so
beloved priest should not be de-
prived of the consolation of his daily
mass. Another priest will have to
assist him at the altar. however. OF
all the cities of the world New York
has had two notable instances OF the
eccesiatsical value set on the "eanoni-
cal fingers. Faher O'Reilly, the
late rector of the Church of Our Lady
of Good Counsel, in East Nineteenth
street, lost his life by his effort to
save canonical finger.
Father O'Reilly injured his thumb
while fishing and blood poisoning set
in. He refused to have it amputated
and thus lose his right to say mass
until it was too late to save his life.
The Jesuit missionary, Father Isaac
Jogues, who it is expected will soon
be canonized as New York's first
saint, had his thumb and four fingers
hacked and bitten off in the most
barbarous manner hy the Mohawk In
dians He escaped from their captivity
and returned to Europe. Pope Urban
VIII, hearing of his mutilated hands,
sent him a particular dispensation to
celebrate mass.

jected to his pardon, as it would re-
feet discredit on her family and her
