DEATH MASK OF EMMETT.
Will Be Seen at the Irish Industrial
Exposition.

The famous missing death mask of
the patriot martyr Robert Emmett has
arrived from Ireland in the care of one
of the Commissioners who were sent
to collect material for the Irish Indus
trial Exposition in Madison Square
Garden. New York, which opens in
that city on September 18th and con-
t,nues for three weeks. This mask is
one of the most precious relics of the
tragic struggle for Ireland's freedom
by the men Of 90. For many years it
had been sought by men who knew of
its existence but it's location could not
be found Finally it was discovered in
the possession of poor but ardent
lover OF Ireland who disposed OF it to
Mr.. James F. Egan. a well-known
naturalist, member Of the City Gov
eminent of Dublin, who has lent it to
the Irish Industrial Exposition COM
mittee.
The authenticity of the mask is
vouched for by Thomas Matthew
| Ryan. the Secretary of Daniel O'Con-
| nell the "Liberator." Mr.. Ryan was an
| authority on the lore of the rebellion
of 1898 and the dark years that fol-
lowed. He has graved on the back of
the mask the declaration as to its
| genuineness.
The exhibition of this authentic im-
preston OF Emmet's features comes at
a time when much interest is being
taken by 1risl,men throughout the

AN OPINION WITHOUT VALUE.

Young Mrs. Mackay OF New York,
who is member OF the smart set and
a society leader has attracted atten-
ton in several ways OF late. 1t is said
that she is an accomplished and pub
lie spirited woman. She has recently
secured her own election on the school
board OF Roslyn, Long Island, where
she lives. By way of identification let
it be known that she is the wife OF
Clarence Mackay. the son of John w.
Mackay. John w. Mackay was an
Irish Catholic who made millions in
the mines Of the west His son is also
a Catholic. Young Mrs. Mackay, how
ever, is not. From her high plane Of
assumed intelligence she disapproves
OF the effort of the Catholic church to
impart religious education to its chill
dren. She was asked recently to con-
tribute toward parochial school. In
her reply to Father Duhigg, the priest
i'll charge of the parish, she said: 81
wish to tell you that absolutely dis
approve OF parochial schools OF the
Romans" faith and consider them
grave menace to our country. Need
less to say am not a RomaMst and
will not help YOU"
In reply to this t1ippant note Father
Duhigg said:
"The information you volunteer, viz,
that you absolutely disapprove of
parochial schools OF the Romanist
faith, and that you consider them a
grave menace to our country. simply
reveals condition OF mind. The opin-
ion is characteristic. In the schools
you dislike so much we teach our chill
dren the ordinary courtesics OF life
AS an example. we would tell them
the use Of the word 'Romanist be-
trays bad form, and that nice, intelli.
gent people would not be guilty of such
a blunder."
Mrs. Mackay was probably eager tc
| make it appear that she was superior
person. Her statement was but a,
echo of what she had heard among
her set. 1t is fashionable in some
quarters to speak OF Catholics a!

sidered the proper thing among til,

THE REAL TEST FOR JAPAN.

lie supreme test tor Japan comes
after successful war. The world will
soon know whether all the glowing
tributes paid to the Japanese were JUS
tilted or not. We have been told over
and over again that the war just ended
was commenced by Japan out of neces-
sity and not choice. Russia, it has been
said. was fighting i'll order to extend
its territory while Japan was fighting
in order to save itself.
The way in which the terms Of peace
has been received by the Japanese
people indicates that they wanted more
than safety to their territory They
now show that they have as little re-
spect for law and government as those
who attacked the police and military
in Russia in recent months.
Those who are familiar with the
present situation in Japan assert that
the present dynasty is in real danger.
There is even a possibility that the
army will disregard the terms OF peace
and fight on for the purpose Of exact
ing tribute from Russia. 1t is not
probable that the situation is as bad
as all that The very fact. however,
that such a thing is suggested shows
that the Japanese are not the unsclfsh
patriots that they have been represent
cd as being. Japan is absolutely within
the power of its army The people
would follow the army rather than the
civil government. This shows that
modern Japan is not so very different
from the old Japan. when the military
classes constituted the ruling party.
The real test Of Japanese civilization
il now at hand. 1t may be that those
governments who stood behind the
Japanese in the recent conflict will
have cause to regret their action.

A very large proportion Of the peo-
pie of the United States, though they
fully understand that the country is
prosperous, have been puzzled to recon-
Gle this clamorous fact with the much
more obstrusive one that they them
selves are not prosperous, says the
Public OF Chicago. But now comes the
Commercial Bulletin of Cleveland, with
an inadvertent explanation. Our pros
perity, so it seems, is of peculiar
kind, and the Bulletin invents singu-
larly apt descriptive term for it. The
term is concentrated prosperity"
Thereby the enigma of a prosperous
country with an impoverished popu-
lace is solved. The country is pros
porous, but its prosperity is concen-
trated in John D. Rockefeller, ct al.

The pretcxt OH which an attempt is
now being made to reduce the repre-
sentation OF ireland in the British, Par
iiamant is that on basis of popula-
ton ireland is not entitled to its pres
ent membership. When the act OF
union was entered into population was
not considered. If population had been
the basis then ireland would have had
over 200 members instead of 1903. Ire
land would not now object to the
abolition OF the act OF union, but it
does object to change i'll that ar

Compared with Philadelphia. New
York is an excellently governed city,
In New York City there are almost
100000 people OF Irish extraction.
There are more than 100000 Germans.
These two nationalities easily make
more than one-half the entire popula-
ton, ii we count those who have Irisl,
and German blood in their veins, but
who are OF the second and third and
fourth generations.
The Italians, Jews and other foreign
nationalities make up large portion
OF the remaining half OF the popula-
ton. New York is indeed cosmopol-
ian city. Philadelphia is entirely diff
fcrert. Its population is almost en-
tirely made up OF Americans, and most
OF it. what is commonly called Yankee.
y comparison of the governments OF
the two cities does not speak very
well for the Yankee.
Comparisons of this kind are odious.
1t is unpleasant and perhaps unpro6t-
able to draw comparisons between re-
hgions and nationalities. We would
not knowingly be the first offenders.
it is time, however, for Americans to
cease stigmatizing Catholics as the
supporters of bad government. Chica-
go, the second city of the country, has
an Irish Catholic mayor and an Irish
Catholic chief of police at the present
time. For the first time in many years
there is no gambling in that city.
Dance halls have been suppressed, and
saloon keepers have been made to feel
the strong arm of the law. So great
has been the change that Protestant
ministers Of that city on last Sunday
announced from their pulpits that they
actually believed that Mayor Dunno
meant what he said. and was going to
keep the lid down. We hope that we
may not hear i'll the coming campaign
in the City of New York, the old
charge that the Irish Catholics are
the supporters of bad government in
that city. The truth of the matter is,
as every practical person knows, that
municipal government is comprom-
Use. 1t is impossible to conduct city
government i'll accordance with the
standard of living of the best and
noblest citizens. 1t is unbearable to
live under city government conduct
ed in accordance with the desires of
the worst elements of the community.
The result is compromise at best.

ILL-HEALTH,
Leads Archbishop ouigIey's Chancellor
to Resign His Post.

Rev. Francis ]. Barry, for seven
years chancellor OF the Roman Cath
Ole archdiocese OF Chicago, and one
!: OF the most widely known Catholic
clergymen i'll the middle west, has been
compelled by illness to resign his
ecclesiastical Office and is succeeded by
Rev. E. NJ. Dunno, D. D., for some
time pastor of the Church of the Holy
Guardian Angels, 178 Forquer street.
Archbishop Quigley announced the
event yesterday at Notre Dame Uni
versity, where many Chicago priests
are i'll retreat. The archbishop was
making a few farewell remarks at the
end OF a weeks sojourn at the Umvcr-
sity, when he referred with regret to
Father Barry's illness and his resigna-
ton. While it was known that Father
Barry was all but incapacitated, the
archbishop's pronouncement was heard
with some surprise.
Father Barry's resignation was ten
dered last Saturday after many weeks
OF serious illness. Knowing that he
needed complete rest and absolute
freedom from official cares, the chan
cellor requested Archbishop Quigley
to take early action in the matter. The
chancellor's physician said Father Bar
ry was the victim OF general break
down, and would not entirely recover
unless liberated from the cares OF his
Office.
The new chancellor is about 40 years
| old, and was born in Chicago. He
went to Europe in his youth. and
studied in Rome, where he was or
| daincd in the church eighteen years
ago. Returning to Chicago, he was
appointed first assistant pastor of ST..
Columbkill's church, one of the largest
parishes OH the West Side. He served
there with distinction, and was next
assigned to take charge of the Italian
parish of the Holy Guardian Angels.
Chancellor Dunno is linguist of
ability and is rcputed one of the most
talented priests in the diocese. Brother
pastors spoke highly of him last night,
and at the same time accorded warm
praise to the retiring chancellor for
his efficient work.
Bishop P. J. Muldoon paid tribute to
Father Barry's faithful and successful
regime, asserting that the cares of
office undoubtedly had worn him down.
But he is still young man." added
