ROME. April 1L-Cspecial Cablegram to
Tho BceD-Rt Rev. Geremia Bonomellt'
bishop OF Cremona. Of whose pastoral the
sovereign pontif wrote in such strong
terms in his letter to Cardinal Ferrari,
archbishop Of Milan, came TO Rome re-
Gently TO visit the pope He took up his
residence in the Minerva hotel The news
papers have been busy with his name and
his pastoral, but as he said nothing for
publication the reports given of his sayings
and intentions were strange and extrava-
giant freaks Of the Imagination. II has
been unfortunate for Mgr. Bonomelli that
the liberalistic anti-Catholic press in Italy
has undertaken his defense in an enthusi-
astic manner for It has been noticed that
that press is rarely on the side of the Cath
olics
Finally. Mgr Bonomclli left Rome on his
return Journey TO his diocese of Crcmona,
and the noncatholic papers published here
in Rome announce that he has not been re-
ceivcd by the pope. This event has been
responsible for a sensation in the newspa-
pert, but it is said that the entire incident
did not have the construction placed upon
It and that the pope did not refuse to re-
ccive the cardinal.
The Irish Franciscans Of St Isidore have
Loguc, who has been visiting here in Rome.
Amongst the guests invited was Very Rev.
Mgr Byrne, dean Of Dungannon who
accompanied the cardinal to Rome as his
secretary During his stay i'm Rome his
emncnce tho cardinal has been In consul
taton with the advocate for the cause Of
bcatiflcatiou and sanctfcation for recogni-
ton Of the venerable Oliver Plunkct, and
also with Mgr Verdi, promoter of the
faith. There Is reason to anticipate that
within comparatively short period OF time
the Irish Catholics throughout the world
will see the name Of this martyr enrolled
amongst tho names of the blessed who are
raised to the dignity OF the altars.
Another member Of the sacred college Of
cardinals. his emlnence Cardinal Guiseppl
Callegarl. bishop of Padua. has Just de-
parted this life. He was in the sixty-fifth
year Of his age, having been born I'm Venice
in 1871. The story of his career is that of a
diligent parsh priest a laborious and far
seeing bishop, whose labors we're especially
directed toward the advancement of his
people
Another great clerical character has Just
passed into eternal rest. Rev. Father
Michael Costello, master in theology and
sub-prior Of St. Clements in Rome, has
breathed his last IN the ancient ana FAMOUS
convent Of the Dominican order. Father
Costello was 50 years Of age and many
years Of his life were passed in the Eternal
city His recollections of Rome embraced
a period Of over sixty years and in that
time he beheld as II were the old order OF
things changing into new. Gregory XIV
was the occupant of the pontifical throne
when this young friar first beheld the city
of Rome. Then, following the death of
Gregory. came in June. 1916, the new pom
tiff, Plus TX. Father Costello used to tell
how. when Plus x was elected, he was
young-looking and his hair was dark. But
the revolution so0n came and Plus TX was
an exile in Gaela. In 1850 the pope returned
TO Rome again but now the dark hair was
rapidly growing white and signs Of care
rather than age were visible on his face
| Then CAME the invasions of the pontifcal
| territory on the part OF Piedmont. encour-
| aged by Napoleon III, which finally ended
I'm the seizure Of Rome by Victor En-.
manuel, and all of the troubles which have
marked the course of the last thirty-hvS
years.
