valerian Gribayedoff is dead in Par

Falerian Gribayedoff is dead in Par
is. If this were all that were said,
most people would ask, what of it?''
He was the originator of newspaper
in the United States. He
was man with an idea, and that idea
is less than generation old. Now, ev-
cry great newspaper from New York
to San Francisco has staff of sketch
artists, who use the idea of the Rus
sian Gribayedoff. With the pen and
ink sketch came the development of
other industrial arts, photo engraving
and colored printing, and thousands of
men are engaged in pursuits which
sprang from this germ, which Gribaye-
doff introduced

that Cardinal Gibbons declined to Of
f1ciate at the Vanderbilt Szechenyi
wedding New York, and further, that
he refused to allow the ceremony to
be performed in Catholic church. says
the Catholic Mirror Whether this in
formation is reliable or not, so far as
the Cardinals of1iciating is concerned,
we cannot say. But it probably is. Tho
Count. holding high position in his
own country would naturally strive to
have his nuptials attended with the
utmost solemnity in this, and to that
end he would have sought the Cardinal
as officiating prelate. Whether he
sought him or the contrary, certainly
the Cardinal took no part in the cere-
monies. AS to the latter part Of the
statement, the fact that Count Szech-
enyi and Miss Vanderbilt We're married
in the brides home speaks for itself.
The odd part Of the account is the
grave manner in which this great daily
comments on the fact that all the Van
derbilt millions could not bring the
church to forego her traditional GUS
toms. Surely that needs no comment.
All the treasures of the universe that
arc not Gods would be just as neffec-
i've. Has that great daily seen any
thing, heard anything of the present
struggle in France? Has France per-
suaded the Church to forego her tra-
ditional customs" And what are the
Vanderbilt millions to the power of
France? Has this daily ever heard of
Henry VIII of England? That mighty
King once thundered his commands
to Rome. But Rome trembled not.
Trust us, the Vanderbilt millions (as
millions) have no more show with tho
Church than d. SNOWFALL has in a Tex
as summer.

twenty.one years in the United States

the writer to find that Senator Daniels

There are many Catholics who SOL
a Catholic weekly asks them to sub
scribe for his journal. that they don't
care for the paper Of their faith--that
they get all the Catholic news they
want out of the daily papers. Do they
really? They surely get much that is
not so, and some that is queer, and
occasionally a selection that provokcs
laughter. We find this in the current
issue Of the Louisville Record: The
st. Louis Globe Democrat, one of the
widely circulated daily papers of this
country, is not behind some other great
dailfes in really extraordinary Catholic
news. In All article on Ground Hog
Day" it gravcly says: when the
church began observing the second day
/ of February as the natal day of
ST. Candlemas, the entire Christian
world naturally adopted the second
81 day of February as that one on which
nature should be closely watched to see
what could be expected of it in the way
, of bringing on the desired vcrnal sea-
SON. st. Candlemas! That's a neat
bit of daily newspaper wisdom. How
the writer must have pondercd labori-
ously in evolving it! How he must
{ have poured over encyclopedias and
church histories! Now let him take
his niche alongside the Chicago report
8er who. some years ago. told an
amazed world that Cardinal Satolli en-
tered the Cathedral at that city wear
ing a thurifer upon his head, says the
Syracuse. N. Y, Catholic Sun.

Some inquiries have been made as to
whether the body of the late Denis
O'Sullivan, the celebrated Irish actor
and singer, was cremated, such story
having appeared in the daily papers
of the country following his death at
Columbus, Ohio, some weeks ago. And
along with it comes the question as
to the attitude of the church regarding
cremation. The body of Mr.. O'Sullivan
was embalmed and taken by his wife
to England for burial and so the state
ment that his remains were cremated
is entirely false. The Church is un-
qualifiedly opposed to the practice of
cremation, as all decisions from Rome
clearly and unmistakably set forth.

Miss Theodore Shonts, daughter of
Theodore P. Shonts, president Of the
1nterborough- Metropolitan Railway
Company of New York, was married
in that city last Monday to Emmanuel
Due dc Chaulnes, of France. The we'd
ding was held at the brides home, the
ceremony being performed by Mgr
Michael j. Lavalle of st. Patrick's
Cathedral. After the bride has fully
committed to memory the name of the
groom in this case made and provided,
and is fully capable of pronouncing the
same, which will take some weeks,
they will be at home to their friends.

Records disclose that the will of the
murdered feud leader, Hargis of Ken
lucky. leaves an estate of $4,000 to
the son who murdered him. This is the
irony of fate. In the past, the Hargis
money has been used to defend every
branch and twig of the Hargis clan
from the assaults of their enemies and
from the efforts of the courts to con-
vict. Will it now be used to protect
the one who finally executed the man
whom neither his enemies nor the
courts could bring to judgment?

The daily press of the United States
is making ludicrous mess of the Lis
bon assassination, says the Western
Watchman. They all agree that the
late king got what he deserved. Now,
what was his crime: He suspended
the constitution in the face of an at
tempt to subvert the monarchy. We
are doing the same thing every time
we proclaim martial law. King Car
los was a humane prince His wife
was model queen. His mother is Il
saint How many times has the king
of England suspended the unwritten
constitution Of the realm in Ireland? Z?
Would these papers applaud the mur-
der OF King Edward by one of the cat
tie drivers? No wonder Europeans
hold our press in contempt.

We are told. says the Monitor. that
there is founded hope for a Catholic
daily American newspaper in the Eng
lish language. Cincinnati promises it.
We wonder what New York thinks Of
this. After ALL Cincinnati is not the

local in its influence. Great throbbins

man-American editor Mr.. Ridder was
cut to the quick by the reported utter
ance of the president, and said a few
caustic things to this effect: Perhaps
Mr.. Roosevelt, who is politician,
when he learns that more than fifty
per cent of the population have Ger
man blood in their veins. may next
time think twice before he slurs a
citizen on account of her German birth
or descent. He has known me quite

He had struck IL pieces in nickel from
the dies, two of which had been lost,
and these led to the discovery of the
contemplated issue. The dies were
sent down South, ana I, is not thought
that they were ever used there.
Years afterward the dies were again
sent back to Philadelphia and a firm of
coin dealers gained possession of them
and made arrangements to strike a
limited number of pieces in different
metals. They planned to coin seven in
gold. twelve in silver and 500 in cop
per, but in striking the coins in the
last named metal the collar of the dies
burst upon making the tifty-sixth i'm
preston and the work was abandoned.
The total number of Confederate
cents now known to be in existence
is seven in gold. ten in nickel, the other
two Of the original IL having disap-
peared: IL in silver and SIS in copper.
The gold specimens are valued at 500
each. those in silver and nickel at
about $25 and the copper cents at from
SO upward.
The dies were defaced and later were
bought by well known Chicago col
lector. Judson Brenner, who also has
a specimen of each coin in the four
different metals.

cock, who had been caught many
time by British soldiers In various
traps without being held, was now
really frightened, not for himself, but
for the lady. He cursed his foolhardi-
ness and especially regretted not per-
mitting Mahdesian to come with him.
II Babcock never returned to the lega-
ton the kavass would lose his head
II Babcock found no means Of escape
both he and the lady would be mur-
dered-
Babcoct kept the robbers waiting as
long as possible, hoping for some solu-
tion. II was growing dark when he
had entered the garden, and when the
hour Of midnight was approaching he
had come to no conclusion. Suddenly,
when he was meditating sending a
message to the American minister,
which was last resort and hopeless
solution, head appeared above the
waI-the head OF Mahdesian. He
whistled, and Immediately a dozen sail
or caps appeared on the wall, and In
another moment twelve American jack
ies, with drawn cutlasses, dropped In
to the garden.
Well, the robbers were left bound
and gagged, and BabcOck. the lady and
Mahdesian were put in a cutter and
rowed aboard the man-of-war.. AS
soon as they had arrived lIahdesian
explained as follows:
20 most mighty Bob. knowing that
II you got into difficulty I would lose
my head. followed you, saw the rob
bers attack you and informed the cap
tain Of this ship, who sent the men to
save you"
There was nothing to do but for Bah
cock, the Turkish lady and the kavass
to remain concealed on the ship, and
when she sailed the next morning they
sailed with her and were transferred
at Naples to a vessel bound for the
, United States. Meanwhile Babcock
married the Turkish lady.
