Great God, brethren, Wnat are we
doing? Of what are we thinking y
great president of our country is sIalH
by a degenerate who was nerved TO the
| deed by socialist and anarchist Vapor-
| ings- We read that anarchy has lts
seat in New Jersey: that she sits In
council in New Orleans or chicago
| They have a propaganda, red press
! an appeal to reason, for Sootn' we dIe
made aware that some of them come
here from southern and eastern Eu-
rope in every shipload, and with suplue
Indifference we look on. Have we
found the pearl beyond price that we
may roll it in the dust like child $
plaything? Have we grown so cold in
our love toward the fair vestal. hber-
ty, that we feel no indignation when
the ruffian and the stranger treat her
as if she were the harlot of the public
place."
Rev. Edward Barry. S. j., of the
Church of the Sacred Heart, was dea-
con, and Father EisIer, c. SS. R, OF
ST Josephs church. was sub-deacon.
Every priest in Denver. though, was
present in the sanctuary, with Father
Phillips officiating as master of cere-
monies.
The scasket was borne in solemn pro-
cession to the union depot, from which
it was shipped to Paterson The
Knights of St John formed the guard
of honor, which walked on either side
of the black hearse. The Knights of
Columbus also appeared in line at the
call of Grand Knight Delehanty, but
the other organization being the
stronger in ST. Elizabeths church, and
having originated there years ago, the
honor of acting as escort fell to it. The
Christian Mothers, a society of the Wo-
men of st. Elizabeth's church. attend
ed in a body.
st. Elizabeth's is one of the three
churches in the diocese of Denver to
enjoy the distinction of being conse-
Grated edifces. The conservation took
place on June 1902, some years after
the church had been opened. 1t was
built by the German Catholics of Den
ver and is the handsomest Catholic
church in the entire state. Its front
age is sixty-seven feet, and it extends
to a depth of 132 feet Adjoining it
are the monastery and parochial
school.
The last parochlal appearance OF
Father Leo was on Thursday evening
of last week, when he addressed the
bi-monthly meeting of the knights of
st. John in st. Elizabeth's school hall.
The slayer of Father Leo is a Sicil- |
ian shoemaker. He was born in 1857,
and left his native land for Buenos |
Ayres in 1905. He arrived in New |
York last year, and came to Denver |
only a few weeks ago. He shared al
room at 1900 Fifteenth street with Mi |
chael Brunetti. In that room after the |
arrest of Alio were found bullets like /
that he had fired into the heart of the
priest, sharpened to a needles point.
The successor to Father Leo has not
been officially named, but it will doubt
ess be Father Eusebius. Father Eusi-
Oius is familiar with the wants of the
parish, having worked long as assist
ant to the. beloved Father Francis. He
has only recently returned to st. Eliz-
lbeth's after a long time in New York,
where he had one of the large down
own churches.
To the Franciscan Fathers through
,ut the entire country who will most
IeenIy feel the loss of the martyred b
PRIEST, The Intermountain Catholic ex- .
ends sympathy.
