Cardinal Has . Motor Car.

The motor car has at last made its

In the streets of Rome except in those
somewhat sombre carriages drawn by
their pairs of coal black horses with
flowing tails. which since 1870 have
entirely supplanted the imposing
equipages of the Cardinals of other
times. But the Cardinal Secretary of
State has this year been strongly rec
commended by his medical adviser to
make cure at the waters of Vicarello.
and as he had either to use motor
OR to defy the doctor. he has wisely
chosen the former alternative. It is
not unlikely that before long other
Cardinals of the Curia may follow his
example. for. after all, there is moth
ing particularly venerable in the long
tailed black horses (most of them
hired from livery stable). and the
useful motor would give the cardin-
ais an opportunity of frequently
breathing the invigorating air of the
Castelli, while their afternoon excur-
sions are now limited to the arid cam
pagna within few miles round Rome.

The royal capital Of the o'Briens is
often known as The City of the VIC
lated Treaty." It was stoutly de-
tended against Cromwels army in
1851, by Hugh O'Neill but after a six
, months siege it was captured by GEN
eral 1reton, the son in law of Crom-
we'll. who became governor until his
death of the plague the year follow
ing. The house in which 1reton lived
and died stood next to the cathedral.
I: was torn down some years ago and
the site added to the cathedral grounds.
Limerick was also besieged in 1851.
during the war between James IL. and
William Of Orange. The latter cap
tured the city with an army of $4,000
men and made treaty with General
Patrick Sarsfield, who surrendered on
Oct. 3, 1891. The ninth article Of the
treaty of surrender provided that Ro-
man Catholics could enjoy the same
privileges as Protestants. and were
given immunity for all religious Of
lenses in the past. This article. how.
ever, was repeatedly violated by the
Protestant authorities. although it was
no fault of William of Orange. His
representatives made it so hot for the
Catholics who had served under James
that they fed from Ireland to France
and formed an Irish brigade that was
so famous in continental wars during
the next twenty years. Sarsfield. who
was one of the ablest and bravest SOL
dlers. Ireland has ever produced. was
killed in battle in 1893 and it is esti-
mated that during the next half Gen.
fury 100000 other Irishmen died fight
irg for the King of France.
A monument to Patrick Sarsfeld has
been erected near the Roman Catholic
Cathedral with the following inscrip-
+. ton:
To commemorate
the Indomitable Energy
and stainless honor of
General Patrick Sarsfield,
Earl Of Lucan,
the heroic defender of Limerick
during the sieges Of 1890 and 1891.
