Cardinal Visits Episcopal Bishop.

Cardinal Gibbons was one Of the
many persons who called last week to
see Bishop William Paret of the Prot
estant Episcopal diocese of Maryland,
who died on Wednesday of this week
at the episcopal residence in Balti-
more. The Cardinal expressed his
sympathy and hopes for the Bishops
speedy recovery
Though extremely i'll, the Bishop
greeted the Cardinal with smile and
the two men chatted for few mo-
ments. The Cardinal has daily in

Though of different faiths, the two
churchmen have been friends for q
long time. Each admres the other,
and whenever they have met they
have recalled past occurrences in a
pleasant manner

Ginal. "The Church of which he is

him. Nothing would please me more
than to hear of his recovery"

is a peer of Ireland who sits in the
Commons and enjoys at the same time
the privilege of voting in elections
for Irish Representative Peers! AL
most as strange case is that of the
Duke of Fife, Scot, who as an Irish
Earl has similar VOTE An Indian
predecessor of Lord Curzon, Clive
when a peerage was conferred upon
him, was made Lord Give Of Plassey,
in the County Glare, a title now ac-
tually held by Earl Powis.
A redeeming feature of this aspect
of the question is the fact that so
good Liberal as Earl Darlington,
though an Englishplan, is also a peer
Of Ireland. However, not even his
Liberalism, to say nothing of his
humor, qualities the anomaly. Lord
Darlington, it should be said, does
not vote in the election of Irish Rep
resentative Peers. These, however,
are personal anomalies. The more
serious anomaly relates to the sys-
TEN of plural voting, which etfectually
shuts out the possibility Of a Liberal
Lord securing election as an Irish
Representative Peer. Such thing
is unheard of. Peers who sit with
Imperial titles, like Lord Lansdowne
and Lord Londonderry, take part in
the election of Representative Peers,
so that they not alone sit themselves,
but they have what may amount in
some cases, as in that Of Lord Cur
zon, to controlling voice in the Sc
lection of some of their supporters.
So, too, sitting Representative Peers
vote for their own recruits when va
cancies occur.
Apart from the immediate over
representation of the Irish Peerage
the position of that body is of inter-
est in the light of Lord Roseberys
scheme of reform. lie has announc-
ed that under, that scheme all peers,
whether Imperial, Scotch, or Irish,
would have votes in selecting repre-
sentatives in the proposed reconsti-
tuted House. II BY any chance that
scheme came into being, it is not
only conceivable, i;sat probable, that
this inflated Peerage of Ireland would
have controlling influence in secur-
Ing practically solid Tory repre-
sentation in tho Lords on the heredi
tary side. When, then, the pro-Lords
men talk of MISREPRESENTATION of
Ireland, let them first look to their
own House.

SISTER PATRICIA
Deaf and Dumb Herself, She Was a
Good AnqeI to the Afflicted.

Sister Patricia, for 81 years mem
Der of the order of St. Joseph, died
recently at Mt. st. Josephs Chestnut
Hill, Philadelphia, of pneumonia, after
an illness Of only a few days.
Deceased nun had unique as we'll
as interesting life, despite her afflic-
ton. She became incurably deaf and
dumb at the age of eight years. the
result of an attack OF fever. She was
a native of Carbondale, Pa, and was
sent to the Pennsylvania deaf and
dumb institute in Philadelphia. There
she came under the spiritual care of
Rev. Daniel A. Brennan, formerly of
her home town, who found there 9th
er Catholic pupils for whom no pro-
vision had been made as regards in
struction in the doctrines of their
holy faith. He gathered them togeth.
or and took them 10 the Cathedral
chapel on Sundays for mass and cate
chism. The future Sister Patricia was
bright and talented and became an
expert in the sign language. Being
of a religious disposition, she cooper
ated with good effect in Father Bren-
hans efforts.
After her graduation Archbishop
Wood recommended her admission
into the Sisters of st. Joseph, she hav.
ing manifested Il religious vocation
She used her talents for the benefit
Of those afflicted like herself, and
taught number of the sisters the
sign language. These assisted her in
teaching catechism classes for those
attending the Pennsylvania institu-
ton. She and other sisters of the
order have been doing this work for
81 years, even paying their own car
fare.
The only deaf-mute member of the
order, Sister Patricia was devoted to
the interests of those who had first
claim upon her sympathy, and being
one of the most expert and graceful
users Of the sign language, she was
of inestimable assistance to many,
some of whom might have lost the
faith but for her.

Sisters they viii soon be able to re-

troublesome chimney fire. The fire
was in the woodwork about the same
chimney, in the kitchen, where is To-

about sounded at 6 o'clock.

den Plots for Cemetery.

I'D on the Leonard farm on Win

liant cemetery on the west side and
which was some time ago purchased
by the city, are a lot of garden plots
which the pupils of the Smith Gram
mar school have been given permis-
sion TO cultivate for the purpose OF
| learning the first rudiments of farm
| ing and gardening. These plots are
rod long and five feet wide and are
separated by a piece of Irvine which
runs around each, and on each IS
| little marker bearing the name of the
pupil to whom IL belongs. The
youngsters planted the seed them
selves and are raising all sorts of
small vegetables, and some flowers.
| The plots are cared for by the chill
| dren, who are allowed to devote GER
Itain times each week to visit their
gardens" TO give them the required
care and see how things are grow
ing.
| OF course many people pass the
| spot each day and no small amount OF
curiosity is manifested by the pres
enee of the plots just on the other
side of the wall from the Cemetery.
one good soul who, while on visit
to the cemetery few days ago. dis
covered the plots on the other side of
the WALL was very much surprised,
and as she gaZed on the unusual spec
tacle she remarked to her companion:
We'll, this must be the potter's
field, where the poor of the city are
buried. And they all seem to be the
graves of children. I didn't think so
many poor children died last winter.
Amt it too bad she continued, point
ing to one of the little markers on the
plots, their parents were too poor to
buy a headstone and had TO stick up
that little card
And she probably Went home with
sorrow in her heart on account of
those humble little graves"
