DEATH Of LADY HERBERT
One Of EngIand's Leading Catholic
Women and Writers-She Was a
Convert to the Faith.

Lady Herbert OF Lea, England, died
at London recently in the eighty
ninth year of her age. In 1846 she
married the Right Honorable Sidney
Herbert, who was Secretary of War
In the English Cabinet during Lord
Palmerstons administration from
1859 to 1861, during the Crimean war.
Her husband died in 1861. Five years
later Lady Herbert was received into
that her intellectual life really began.
She travelled extensively and did much
to break down English prejudices In
regard to foreign Catholic lands. Her
Impressions of Spain" was widely
read and commented upon and her
Life of Bishop Dupanloup" did much
to make that prelate known and ap-
preciated by Englishmen. At the time
of h9r conversion she published anony-
mOafsly a booklet on Anglican
Prejudices Against the Catholic
Church" and towards the end of her
life another In which she gave the
story of her conversion under the title
"HoW / Came Home This was
written for the Catholic Truth Society
and published under its auspices.
She was one of the most prolific Cath
olic writer's of her day and besides
the works mentioned her literary pro-
ductions include "Thekla," "Wayside
Tales" and lives of General de Sonis,
Pere Eymard, St. John Baptist De
Rossi and st. Cajetan.
Lady Herbert was active in good
works and was connected with nearly
every one undertaken by Catholics
during the last forty-three years. She
was President of the General Council
Of the Needle Work Guild.

GENERAL De CHARETTE
AND ORGANIZER OF
THE PAPAL ZOUAVES-A DIS
TtNGuIsHED SOLDIER AND DE-
FENDER OF THE RIGHTS OF
THE HOLY SEE.

The late General de Charette, SO
well known as the founder and organ
izer of the famous regiment of the Pa
pal Zouaves, was characteristic and
remarkable personality. A brilliant
soldier, unusually handsome, a daring
chief, he possessed the absolute trust
of the men under his command. He
was born at Nantes in 1882, of an old
Breton family, one of whose members
commanded the Royalist Army of Ven
dee in 1894. His mother, Louise
Comtesse de Vierzon, was the natural
daughter of the DUO de Berry, second
son of King Charles x, and of an Eng
lishwoman, Amy Brown, whose ac-
quaintance the Prince had made dur
ing the emigration. In spite of her
equivocal position, Mrs. Brown, from
whom the Duke separated only on his
marriage to Princess Caroline of Ma
pies, was treated with certain con-
sideration by the French Royalists,
and her daughters were carefully edu-
Gated, at their fathers expense. In
May, 1860, Charette was one of the
first to respond to the appeal of Gen.
eral de Lamoriciere, who was raising
an army of volunteers in defence of
the independence of the Holy See.
Charette had now found his true voca-
ton. No doubt he loved fighting for
fighting's sake, but the cause he
adopted appealed to his Breton faith
and to the chivalrous spirit that was
his leading characteristic
Ae Castlefdardo on September 18th,
1850, he won his spurs, and from that
moment the tall, handsome, fiery,
blue-eyed leader became a prominent
figure in Rome. 1t was Charette who
was appointed to organize the Pontifi-
cal Zouaves, and all his time and at
tention between 1851 and 1870 were
devoted to the training of this unique
regiment. 1t was made up Of four
thousand volunteers, who came from
France, Holland, Canada and Belgium.
Many of them bore names that in by
gone days had echoed across the bat
tlefields Of Palestine; others were of
humble origin, but the same spirit of
absolute self-sacrifice inspired them
all. There are many men still living
who remember those distant days,
when the medieval enthusiasm for the
cause of God seemed to have returned
to our practical, matter-of-fact modern
world. Their hearts grow warm and
their voices tremble when they recall
the memories of their youth. Charette
was their idol; with his keen face and
eagle eye, his gay humor and reckless
bravery, he seemed to the generous
youths around him the very ideal of
knightly courage.
When, In September, 1870, Rome
was> besieged by the Piedmontese, the
Pontifical zouaves made a brave de-
fence at the Porta Pia, but they had,
in the end, to yield to the enerny's SUI
perior forces. Those who belonged to
France were sent back to their own
country, where Charette again put

covery honors and scientific recogni-
ton came to them. A few years later
Pierre Curie was accidentally killed
and his wife succeeded to his profes.
sorship. In 1908 she was appointed
chief professor of physics in the Uni
versity OF Paris.
AT the Congress of Radioactiyity
and Electricity held in Brussels few
months ago signal honor was con.
ferred upon her by designating as the
"curie' the unit Of measurement for
radium emanations. Her name will
thus be perpetuated in the annals of
science as are those of Ohm, Volta,
Ampere and other pioneers in certain
departments of science.

DEATH OF FAT HER
SIEBENF OERCH Err
OF THE SEMINARY APos-
ToLATE OF TOTAL ABsTl-
NENcE.
Pastor OF kenton, Ohio, for Thirty-five
Years-SpIrltuaI Director of Mount
St. Mary's Seminary, Cincinnati.

The news of the death of Rev. AM
thony Stanislaus Siebenfoercher, who
died at st. Elizabeth's Hospital, Day.
ton, Ohio, on November s, will be re-
ceived with sorrow by all who were
privileged to know the kindly,
ascetic-looking old priest who, few
years ago, took upon himself the work
of diffusifg total principles in our
seminaries and the organization OF
temperance societies among the young
levites. On more than one occasion
he visited st. Paul Seminary and
aroused enthusiasm for the cause
among its students, although he was
not, in reality, the founder of its Total
Abstinence Society. During the past
four years he has been a patient suf-
ferer and his death was due to general
weakness induced by continued illness
which made it necessary for him to
retire from active work.
Father Siebenfoercher was native
of Austria, where he was born on
February is, 1874 At an early age
he emigrated to America, and after
completing his philosophical and theo-
logical course at Mount st. Mary's
Seminary, Cincinnati, he was ordained
to the priesthood on December 81,
1871. Immediately after his ordination
he was appointed pastor OF the Church
Of the immaculate Conception, Kenton,
Ohio, where he remained until 1905,
when his health began to fail and he
was relieved of the cares of parish
life. He was appointed Spiritual Di-
rector>of Mount st. Mary's Seminary,
where he remained for two years. Ill
health forced him to enter st. Eliza
beth's Hospital, Dayton, Ohio, where
he died. His remains were taken to
his former parish at Kenton, where
Pontiffcal Mass of Requiem was cele-
brated by the Most Reverend Arch
bishop Moeller of Cincinnati in the
Church of the. Immaculate Conception
on the 18th inst
During his residence at Kenton he
built the Immaculate Conception
Parochial School and also the An
tonius Hospital, the only hospital in
that city. In the meantime he had
become interested in the total absti-
nence movement and organized socie-
ties, not alone among the laity, but
among the clergy of the Archdiocese.
When he realized the good that could
be accomplished by such organizations
he visited all the seminaries in the
United States and Canada, preaching
total abstinence to the students and
organizing societies among them
which he visited from time to time to
encourage and enthuse their members.
For ten years he devoted his time and
his resources to this work and won
the title of the father of the Seminary
Apostolate of total abstinence.
His was a familiar figure at the Ma
tional Catholic Total Abstinence Con-
ventions until the last few years and
his work was recognized and encour-
aged by that organization, as well as
by the members of the Hierarchy.

.ENGLAND'S CARDINAL ELECT.


the new Metropolitan of Liverpool.
Of calm and kindly manner he is a
man in the same mould as Archbishop
Bourne, suave, courteous, polished, a
man who leaves the most favorable
impression even on an opponent, and
one who would never be thought
guilty of an unfair or an uncharitable
deed. DR.. Whiteside who is the son
of Liverpool parents has gone through
some trying experiences recently in
his See, and is now serving as a
member of Lord Derby's Commission
to inquire into the sectarian disturb
ances in that city. On one occasion
during their continuance Bishop
Whitesides carriage was mobbed and
the Bishop stoned, but he bore these
outrages with the most unfinching
calm, and was more concerned for the
safety of his coachman than for his
own.
Cardinal Logue In England.
Cardinal Logue visited England
during the weekend and blessed the
fine new tower given to the Church
of st. Vincent, Sheffield, by Mr.. Phil
lip Wake, a solicitor resident in the
city. A luncheon was given after
wards at which the Duke of Norfolk
proposed the health of His Eminence.
Cardinal Logue rising to reply said he
hoped the day would come when Eng
land would be once again as she had
been in the past one of the choicest
spots in the Church's vineyard. He
felt it would come by degrees, and we
had only to be patient. True, some
who were going down the decline
would not live to see it but future
generations would be the witness of
the MONDAY splendor of that dawn
which we are privileged to behold
The Church was gaining by degrees,
the number of Catholics was not only
increasing but the quality of them
was getting better. He applauded the
fight made by English Catholics to
defend the faith of their children and
declared that Ireland had great SYM
pathy with us in this for if religion
was driven out of the schools in Eng
land the same fate might await them
in Ireland. Large crowds gathered
about ST. Vincent's to give the Car
dinal rousing reception as he left
the Church. He is the guest of the
Duke of Norfolk for a day or two, at
the latter's fine seat near Sheffield.

The New Cardinals.

Of course the news of the sixteen
other Cardinals who are to be created
at the forthcoming consistory is al
ready with you by cable. Congratu-
lations on the three red hats which
are to be conferred on prelates within
the United States! Amongst the other
Cardinals who have received many
expressions of esteem and regard on
their elevation to the dignity of
Princes Of the Church, are Monsignor
Granite di Belmonte, late Papal
Nuncio in Vienna, who is Prince in
his own right in the world, coming
of a noble Italian family, and who
charmed London during his recent
visit in the capacity of Papal Envoy
at the time of King Georges Corona
ton; while all visitors to Rome are
delighted to hear that the kindly,
courteous Major Domo of the Papal
household to whom many of them
owe some privilege or thoughtful as
sistance, Monsignor Bisleti, is also
included in the list of Cardinals.
Amongst the three French Cardinals,
Monsignor Annette, Archbishop of
Paris, is the best known outside of
his own country, but France in her
fight with Freemasonfy and Rational.

said that the directors have decided
to peddle him on the baseball mar
ket What price he will bring is
questionable, but it is certain that a
club in need of southpaw would
make no mistake in picking him up
for he has hardly reached an age OF
retirement.
1t is not the intention in this con-
coction to severely criticize Burch,
for that would be almost too tickle.
But it can easily be shown that fans
have tired of witnessing Burch pitch,
If nothing else. Such a condition is
detrimental to the attendance and the
announcement that Burch will not be
retained has caused no surprise.
Dear old ''Rubev should not be con
demned for his short-coming during
the past week, for during the first
week of the season he gave evidence
of great form. He was credited with
2-hit and a 4-hit game in the first
two battle in which he worked.
Burch; however, has lost one OF
his greatest assets-control. But this
does not altogether prove that he
no longer will be able to pitch his
club to victory. Keokuk fans would
rather see some one else in the box,
even though they have confidence in
his ability to win half of the games.
The veteran is far better than
many of the pitchers who now hold
jobs in the Central Association and it
is likely that some club in the league
will gobble him up. 1t is hoped at
least that if Kokuk is to lose him he

TEBEAU WINS
FOR K. H. S.
Batting Like Fiend He is Responsible
For Three Runs-Purple and
White Beating Quincy.

Ralph Tabeau's hitting sent home
a victory for the Keokuk High school
warriors Saturday afternoon against
Quincy High, and the purple and
white copied in easy fashion by the
score of 4 to 1.
Tebeau demonstrated that he was
some clouter for the Keokuuk
team, and yesterday he fairly murder
ed the pill In the first inning he
stung a double which sent two runs
across the plate and in the fourth he
drove ball far over the left field
fence of the athletic park. The
sphere bumped the white house across
the road and was good for a complete
trip around the circuit.
Quincy had little chance against the
sterling work of Walker in the box
and his good support The only mis-
take of the game, which was coined
into run for the visitors, came in
the first inning when Walker made a
wild heaye to first base, and two
bagger followed it for the only score
made by the Illinois club.
Keokuk scored three runs in the
first inning, after Quincy made its
lone count. Harrington walked and
McGrath reached first on an error.
McManus hit past third, counting one
of the runners. Walker walked and
Tebeau followed with his safe drive
which gave Keokuk a safe lead.
The rest of the game was pitch

good form and kept the few hits we'll
