Oldest Living PreIate.

Archbishop Murphy, of Hobart, Tas-
mania, the oldest working prelate in
Christendom, has entered on his ninety
third year in good health and spirits
Sir Robert Stricklaw, the governor Of
Tasmania, and representative depu-
tation visited the venerable prelate to
tender congrat tulations and good wish
es. DR.. Murphy in his reply said he
was born on the day on which the bat
tie Of Waterloo was fought. and around
that fact a certain amount Of fiction
had gathered. He read in one &C.
count of his career that he was the son
Of soldier who fought at Waterloo.
and that he himself was actually born
on the battlefield. Unfortunately for
that picturesque legend, his father was
not a soldier and his mother was never
outside Ireland. Archbishop Murphy
is a record prelate in other respects
than age. He is the only prelate now
alive who was appointed by Pope
Gregory, XVI, the predecessor of Plus
TX. In 1s46, when he was consecrated
as bishop for India, he was the
youngest prelate of that period-only
thirty one-and today, after lapse of
sixty-one years, he is the oldest. so
that he is the holder Of q double epis-
copal record. DR.. Murphy passed twen-
ty years in India as bishop of Hyder-
abad and had an anxious time during
the mutiny. In 1865, for reasons of
health, he was transferred to Hobart,
and the change of climate has evil
IDENTIFY agreed with him. AS DR.. MUIR
ply was ordained priest in 1888, if he
lives until next year he will have yet
another jubilee to celebrate. the sew
entieth anniversary of his ordina tion.
The Archbishop is humorist, and
the fact may account in some measure
for his Remarkable longevity He was
held in high esteem by the late Pope
Leo XIII. At the age of seventy-nine
Dr. Murphy visited Rome, and at the
close of a cordial audience Pope Leo
remarked: We'll. my dear brother, I
suppose this is our last meeting in this
world" But five years later DR.. Muir
ply thought he would have one more
run around the globe, and presented
himself at the Vatican as pert and
smiling as of yore. He reminded Pope

slyly added $50, you see, you are not
infallible, after all" This is said to
have been one Of the few ocasions on
which Pope Leo laughed heartily.

tribute to Catholic friends:
There comes to our table on July

versary number, full of illustrations
and information of great value. On it's
first page we find a splendid picture of
our good friend, Patrick Donahoe. who
founded the paper, and whom We never
think of but with pleasure. When we
had the double pneumonia some ten
years ago he took special interest in
leaving his important engagements to
come to our home to encourage us with
his kind presence. We we'll remember
one day when he called at our Office
and we said to him, "Donahoe, have
just received letter from western
paper in which the editor says he
never wants to see Our Dumb Animals
again because we have spoken kindly
of the Roman Catholic Church" Don
ahoe thought for moment and then
simply said, II will offer a prayer for
him. It was the thought. word and
act of a saint
John Boyle O'Reilly was another Of
our very best friends. About the last
time we saw him happening to call at

e'My model"
The great sculptor St. Gaudens sat
back in his chair. He gazed enthusiast
tically at the wondrous serving maid
who was bringing him his plate Of
vegetable soup.
Summed up in her, his artists eye
caught everything-the classic profile,
the absolutely pure features which the
Greeks once loved, the curving lips,
the correct nose, the splendid forehead,
the well-set eyes. He knew he had
found what he had sought so long
the perfect face which he needed for
the new set of American coins which
are soon to be issued.
And she merely waitress!
But what cared the sculptor for that?
He wanted a nnodel-in fact, he was in
sore distress for one. And here she
was, serving soup and asking him
whether he'd have beef or chicken in
the little country town Of Cornish. near
Windsor, VT, where the artist used to
spend his summers.
st. Gaudens forgot his meal. All he
cared about was that he had found
the ideal face for the new series Of
United States coins which the govern
mont had commissioned him to design.
And soon now-though the hand that
made the designs is stilled in death,
the face has been preserved by St.
Gaudens's wondrous skill-in a few
months the face Of Mary Cunningham,
waitress, will be known from Maine
Gulf. She will be on pennies, on ten
dollar gold pieces and twenty-dollar
gold pieces. She will Jingle in our
pockets-let US hope-for many years.
This was a. year and half ago.
Uncle Sam had decided that he needed
some new designs for coins, and ST.
Gaudens was the sculptor selected to
design them. It was easy enough for
the master hand to plan the coins, but
to find the face from which to make
models-ah, that was another story.
He searched high and low. There
was plenty of pretty girls-oceans Of
them, but what he wanted was a pure
ly classic face. Models came and went
they wouldn't do. He couldn't find
what he wanted anywhere. And then
came that chance meal and-the wait
ress who served it!
But the mere fact that st. Gaudens
wanted Mary Cunningham to pose for
her profile didn't make the thing pos
sible at all. The waitress demurred.
She didn't want to be sculptor's
model; she had never done anything
OF the kind. She would far rather wait
on table.
And then the sculptor had to plead
-he, who could have had many a So
ciety woman to pose for him for the
coins merely for the asking! He point
ed out to Mary Cunningham that she
owed a duty to the country.
"You must pose!' was the artists
hnal nat and Mary Cunningham did.
And when it was over she went back
to the table and started serving soup
and lamb and apple pie and coffee
this girl Of the wonderful face which
is soon to be known wherever Uncle
Sans copper and gold goes.
With such material to work from,
st. Gaudens worked fast. He had be-
fore him just what he wanted. The
face Of Mary Cunningham is-as it was
when she posed for the dead sculptor
clear cut and classical. It's contour re-
minds one Of the faces Of the old-time
patrician bellies.
"A modest and unassuming little Irish
maid" was St. Gaudens's estimation OF
his model
And sure she was-and is.
Mary Cunningham has fresh, pink

HARDWARE MEN NOT TO

taller was defeated at the opening
Of the annual meeting of the Executive
Committee of the National Hardware
Association in Philadelphia yesterday.
r. James Fernley, secretary and

was the champion of the iobbers. Mr.
Fernley asserted that 70 would be USE
less for either the manufacturer Of
hardware or the retailers who handle
his goods to attempt to carry on their
business successfully without the mid
dleman. He declared that the manu-
facturer through the jobber, can dis
tribute his goods more economically,
and that the retailer can purchase them
cheaper. The expense Of maintaining
one jobber to distribute hundreds Of
different lines of goods, he pointed
out. is much cheaper than having one
salesman for each sundry. and for
this reason alone every possible en-
couragement should be given the job
bcr to continue in business.
As a result Of Mr. Fernley's argu-
ment, a resolution was adopted, which
will be submitted to the national as
sociation, asserting that the elimina.
ton Of the middieman would be dis
astrous to the hardware industry
