MONDAY EVENING, OCT.
TO CONsECRATE ST. PATRICK's.

At 5 O'Clock on the morning Of We'd
nesday, October 5, Archbishop John
Nj. Farley, head of the archdiocese OF
New York, will begin the solemn
services OF conservation before the
high altar OF St. Patrick's Cathedral,
at Fifth avenue and Fifty-first street,
New York which will forever set apart
the building, unencumbered by debt,
to the uses OF religion. The service
will put FINS" to long history OF
endeayor which had its inception in
1858.
Three cardinals, one OF them a
papal Iegate, will have their thrones
in the chanceI during the two days OF
services; fifty bishops and archbishops
and 1000 priests from Europe and
this country will take part in the
festival.
The list OF dignataries OF the church
who are to be participants in the
services OF jubilee includes Cardinal
Vannutelli, papal legate; Cardinal
Logue. primate OF Ireland, and Card
inal Gibbons, OF Baltimore. AT the
solemn pontifical mass which is to
follow the conservation OF the cathe-
dral Cardinal Gibbons will officiate
and the two other cardinals will have
their places in the chancel. Archbishop
Glennon, of st. Louis, will preach the
sermon.
On Wednesday evening Archbishop
Diomede, papal delegate at Washington,
will be the celebrant OF the solemn pom
tifical vespers, and Bishop Thomas r.
Hickey, of Rochester, will preach.
On Thursday, October 6, the morn
ing will be given over to special chill
dren's celebration in the Cathedral.
All the cardinals and archbishops will
be present to hear 5000 pupils from
the parochia schools throughout
Greater New York sing during the SER
vices. The great choir is now being
trained in segments by the choirmasters
OF the schools.
Tho conservation of St. Patrick's will
have a significance in which the whole
Catholic Church in America will rejoice.
1t will mean that the last cent OF debt
has been paid and the archiepiscopal
cathedral of New York, the physical
center of the church in this country, is
at last wholly the property Of the church.
Churches in the Catholic faith may be
dedicated to the uses Of religion as
soon as they are habitable, but they
cannot finally be consecrated until they
are free frem debt. 1t has been labor
Of 81 years to raise the debt which en-
numbered the cathedral property when
it was first opened for worship on May
25, 1879. ,
The history of st. Patrick's Cathedral
covers a period Of just 100 years, for 1t
was in March, 1910, that the Rev.
Father Anthony Kohlmann, vicar gen
eral OF the diocese, purchased the
property upon which the cathedral now
stands.

The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1910-04-30

The Lady Arnott who occupied a
seat on the platform at VIM. O'Brien's
meeting in Cork is the wife of a
wealthy brewer Of that city who was
raised to the peerage for subscribing
to the Tory campaign fund. The
brewers were heavily taxed in the
Lloyd George budget and O'Brien is
their champion in opposing it, Other
brewers, like the Guinnesses of Dub
lin, Lord Iveagh and Lord Ardilaun,
were ennobled for contributing gen.
erously to the Tories who are opposed
to the independence of Ireland. Pope
must have had folks of that kind in
his mind when he said:
What can ennoble sots, or slaves, or
towards?
Not even all the blood of all the How
ards.

THE RAILROAD BILL.

The railroad bill drafted by Taft and
his attorney general after consulta-
ton with the railroad magnates of the
country is meeting with considerable
opposition in both houses of Congress.
The first to attack it was Senator
Cummins of Iowa. His criticism was
scathing in the extreme. He declared
that the president was usurping the
powers of the senate by submitting
a ready-made bill for passage and then
forcing it through before the senate
committee had had an opportunity of
examining and discussing its provi-
sions.
La Toilette charged the sponsors of
the bill with "trickery" and "unnum-
bered villainies;" Nelson asserted that
it would enable the railroads to evade
the laws and defy the regulations of
interstate commerce.; Clapp denounced
it numerically: Borah strongly con-
demned it, and last came Dolliver who
cautioned the Republican party that
the apparently innocent legalization of
pooling involves the surrender of

A correspondent tells a good story
at the expense of Cardinal Logue. At
the election in Louth the Cardinal
voted for Tim Healy, but the ballot
was rejected. He placed the Episcopal
cross before his initials on the ballot
paper instead of making a cross in the
space indicated thereon. He forgot for
the moment that he was not signing
some episcopal note of instruction to
his flock, and so Tim Healy received 80
majority instead of 100 over Mr.. Haz-
zleton. They say the Cardinal enjoys
the joke and laughs heartily over his
blunder. He will be careful the next
time to make cross and omit the
initials, M. C. L., which mean Michael
Cardinal Logue.

Ready Wit.

A story is told of prisoner before
Lord Justice Fitzgibbon, at the time
when the latter was one of the justices
of appeals of Ireland, whose ready wit
probably saved his neck.
Lord Fitzgibbon was holding assizes
in Tipperary county, when a man was
brought before him on an indictment
of murder. The case was proved that
the victim came to his death by being
hit with a stick in the hands of the
defendant; but the doctor testified that
he had what they called in medical
parlance a paper SKULL"
The case looked dark for the pris-
oner, however, and the jury returned
a verdict of guilty. AS the man was
brought before the court for sentence
it was noticed that his lordship had
his black cap in his hand.
Have YOU anything to say why sem
tence should not be pronounced upon
you?" demanded Lord Fitzgibbon.
The man looked for moment and
then said:
"No, your lordship, 1 have nothing
to say; but I should like to ask one
question"
What is that. my MANI" said Fitz-
gibbon.
II should like to know what a man
with head like that was doing in
Tipperary?"
The black cap was put away and a
prison sentence imposed.
An instance is related of a newly
appointed officer on General Sher-
mans staff whose wit saved him from
breach of etiquette.
The general liked young men; but
not when they were fresh. He was
full of praise for the bright officer in
his first epaulets. but despised sec
ond lieutenant's attempted familiarity.

A PreIate's Resolutions.

Mgr. Ricard, Archbishop of Auch,
France, had the following resolutions
enthusiastically cheered and applauded
at recent congress:
l. We want all the liberties the
name of F'renchman calls for.
2. We are Catholics, indeed; slaves
never.
3. The most sacred of liberties is
that of conscience.
4. The children shall be brought up
according to their baptismal promises.
S. Let us respect good schoolmas-
tiers, but let us despise the others and
their condemned books.
6. Political Caesarism is odious;
scholastic Caesarism all the more.
T. We are pledged not to obey UNI
just laws.
s. 1t is better to shout under the
knife than to be silent under chloro-
form.

Europe, with dinners, receptions and
honors fit for kings and emperors has

Preparations on a gigantic scale arc

Roosevelt wants the reception to be

idol to pave his way to the White
House to remain there indefinitely.
