The muf5ed drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on Hfe's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents arc spread.
And glory guards, with solemn round.
The biVouac Of the dead.
No rmor Of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind:
No troubled thought At midnight hamts
OF loved ones left behind;
No vision Of the morrow's strife
The warriors dream alarms;
No brayins horn or screaming fife
At dawn shall call TO arms.
Their shirerrd swords arc red with rust.
Their plumed heads are bowed;
Their naughty banner. trailed in dust
Is naE their martial shrUud.
And pIentsous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow
And the proud forms. by hattie gaShed.
Arc free from anguish now.
The neighing troop. the flashing blade.
The bugle's stirring blast
The charge. the dreaded CDnn0nade.
The din and shout arc past;
Nor wars wild note. nor glory's peal
Shall thrill with ierrc delight
Those breasts that never more may feel
The rapture Of the fight
Like the fierce northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau.
Flushed with triumph yet TO gain.
CAme down the serricd foe
Who heard the thunder Of the fray
Break DER the field beneath.
Knew well the watchwOrd Of that day
Was Victory or death"
Long has the doubtful conflict aged

Still swelled the glory tide;

Never before has the club shown SO
distinguished a group of paintings on
ivory. The twenty -four miniatures ex-
hibited are so sincere, skillful. and ar
tistic that ones whole space might well
have been given to an elaborate appre-
citation of them alone. In addition to
those of Allyn Williams, already re-
ferred to. which flank the group on either
side, there is one solitary exhibit from
Eda Nemolde, of Chicago, that has
easily attracted more attention than any
single picture in this years exhibition.
bust portrait OF Miss A. Goss. 1t is
girlhood gloriied. No beauty of any
kind is drawn into it that did not exist
in the perfectly beautiful original to any
one who had eyes to see. Veracious and
convincing as the dainty image seen on
the ground glass of a camera, it still Is
as ideally beautiful as any Madonna"
ever put on canvas.
A high degree Of merit marks the minia-
ture display. No weakly colored, simper-
ing counterfeit presentments'' painted
from photographs of noted people, brought
in over the heads of the jury by power
ful social and other influences. No: this
is an artists display. Only virile, artis-
tic convincing work of the first class is
shown. Charlotte Saint Gaudens presents
three-quarter length portrait done with
admirable skill and lack of conventional
treatment. 1t is the finest possible por-
trait of the great sculptor, her father-In-
law. Bertha E. Ferries portrait of
Horace Warner, father of the painter
Warner, is another mastery performance

cARpn!AL GIBBONS MEMORIAL.

On October 12 Cardinal Gibbons will
Law the corner stone of the memorial
hall which is being erected to COM
memorate the golden jubilee of his
ordination to the priesthood and the
silver Jubilee Of his elevation to the
Cardinalate. AS the annual meeting
of the Board of Trustees of the Cath
Ollie University and the meeting of the
Archbishops OF the American hler-
archy will be held in Washington at
the same time 1t is certain that the
placing of the cornerstone will take
place in the presence of practically
all the Archbishops and Bishops In
the United States. Cardinal Gibbons
will offlciatc at the ceremony.
1t must not be thought however,
that because the cornerstone of the
Cardinal Gibbons Memorial hall has
vet to be laid there is no work being
done on the building. AS matter of
fact one of the wings of the building
is already so near completion that by
the time school opens in October 1t
will be ready to accommodate fifty or
more students.
This grand structure when COM
pleted will be a worthy and enduring
testimony to the man in whose honor
it is being built. 1t will be granite
monument which will symbolic the
ideals of one of the greatest men in
the American Catholic hierarchy. 1t
will impress on future generations the
way in which he valued Catholic edu-
cation. 1t will be an inspiration for
those who come after him to lend their
influence to helping forward the same
great work.

the Lords to a mere suspensory one.
But he kept quiet and watched events
The election of January, 1910, entirely
altered his position. The Govern
ment was at his mercy. At any mo-
ment he could turn it out. Accord
iugly he exacted terms for his sup
port. Not only must the Parliament
bill be followed by a Home Rule bill,
but an assurance must be given that,
In the event of the Lords throwing
out the Parliament bill, there would
be creation of sufficient new Peers
to force it through the House Of
Lords"
Mr.. Redmond is doubly fortunate.
Not only is he a good strategist but
he has a cause which appeals to the
Democracy of England. 1t is to be
hoped that he will be as fortunate in
meeting future contingencies as he
has been in dealing with the questions
that have arisen in the past If he
perseveres in his good generalship for
few more years he will be able to
bring back to Ireland a Home Rule
bill for which he will receive the last
ing gratitude of his people.

THE FACTS IN THE CASE.

A few months ago the announce
ment that Madame Eames and M. de
Gorgoza had been married by a
Catholic priest awakened general at
tention owing to the fact that it was
known Madame Eames had been
previously married and her husband
is still living. AS the press dispatches
made it appear that the Catholic
Church was sanctioning the re-mar-
riage Of divorced person the editors
OF America sent communication to
the Archbishop of Paris asking for a
statement of the conditions under
which the ceremony was performed.
The reply which was published in a
recent issue Of America was as fol-
lows:
"In reply to the letter which you
addressed to Monseigneur, the Arch
bishop, during his absence, on the
subject of the Gorgo2a- Eames mar
riage, 1 can tell you that Madame
Eames was free according to canon
law. She had not been baptized and
had been married to an unbaptized
person. In becoming a Catholic she
awaited herself of the Pauline privi-
lege procuring dispensation from in
terpellation, granted to her by the
Holy Office June 20, 1911. AS regards
NJ. de Gorgoza, l was under the i'm
preston that he was a, single man.
Your letter has reawakened my at
tention. The priest who blessed the
marriage informed me that M. de Cor
goza had indeed contracted previous
marriage, but a purely civil one, and
that he had regarded it as null.
have ordered a new inquiry in, the
matter"
Though the case is all unusual one
the facts show that the Church has
not budged one iota from it's well de-
fined rule of no re-marriage of di-
vorced persons.

Imposing Funeral Of Murdered Nun

imposing Funeral OF MURDERED TNuH.
All through Italy, and especially in
Ancona,' feelings of deep horror are
expressed at the murder of Sister
Seraphina in the hospital of that town
by an italian, who had been carried
there for treatment the same day as
that on which he committed the crime,
says the Rome correspondent of the
London Catholic Times" On enter
ing the apartment of the man the poor
Sister was beaten to death by the in
furiated homicide. After thirty-fve
years of self sacrificing labor in the
hospital she died in terrible agony her
head being completely smashed in by
the iron bar used by the miscreant.
The funeral of the poor Sister has
been made the occasion Of a public
demonstration, the Mayor and City
Councillors, the Archbishop of Ancona,
the civil authorities and chief citizens
walking after the hearse between two
lines composed of thousands of the
people.
1t is stated the man is not a luna
tic, though it has been found neces-
sary to keep him in straitjacket.
Banished from Austria as an "unde-
sirable CITIZEN he now shows himself
in the hospital cynical and sour in the
moments he spares from bursts of
ungovernable fury.

UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS.

There seems to be a growing ten
dency to criticize the lack of uni
formity in the divorce laws existing
in the various states. In some states
a divorce is granted only when one
particular crime can be proven; in
other states the judge is given such
latitude as to be able to grant a de-
cree Of separation for almost any
cause that can be mentioned A short
time ago it was reported that Con-
gress would soon be asked to consider
the matter of regulating divorce. Now
it is announced that President Taft is
interested in the question and will
make speech on it during his west
ern trip.

secrated bishop of Achonry and Right
Rev. DR.. O'Dougherty was consecrat-
ed bishop of Zamboango at cere-
mony here conducted by Most Rev.
DR.. Healy, Archbishop of Tuam on
Sunday, Sept. 8. Bishop Clancy and
Bishop ODea were assisting prelates.
DR.. Beecher preached the sermon.
The occasion was a red letter day
for the town of Ballaghadereen. The
streets were profusely decorated with
flowers, every house having some dec
Grafton to indicate the general pleas
ure which animated the people of the
entire town.
1t is seldom, indeed although, Of
course, not unprecedented, that two
Bishops are consecrated on the one
day and in the same Cathedral. Here
that exceptional privilege seemed
somehow not so remarkable, but, on
the contrary, quite appropriate, as
both prelates were so intimately as
sociated with the place. In the case
of DR.. Morrisroe it is no exaggeration
to say that there has always gone out
to him from all who have known him
a feeling of absolute love and affec-
ton in the diocese which has become
intensified by the fact that their wish
es are now realized by his being
placed over them as their guiding pas
tor and Bishop. AS the eloquent
preacher said, all Ireland honors
Achonry in the selection of its new
Bishop. His great record in May
nooth needs no recalling. AS Dean of
the Junior House he secured the rev.
erence of every student. as a scholar
he commanded the recognition of all
his compeers, and his exalted ecclesi-
astical gifts were made all the more
manifest by his singular gentleness.

journalists from all countries whose

gardng the Presidents views of the
divorce evil he is to use his influence
to have laws regulating the grounds
on which divorce may be granted
made as nearly uniform as possible
in all the states. And further than
that he would have a law passed in
every state which would prohibit the
re-marriage of persons who had been
divorced and forbidden to re-marry
in another state.
While it is certain that the divorce
question will never be solved by leSis-
lation nevertheless the attempt to
regulate the granting of divorce and
separation more difficult is to be COM
mended. Our present lax laws simply
result in making certain states motor
ious for their divorce colonies.
In this regard we would suggest
that Il step further be taken and that
ministers of one denomination be pro-
hibited by law from marrying di-
vorced persons of another denomina-
ton who are unable to have the cere-
mony performed in their own church.
If such a law existed in all the states
men who can afford to pay five mill
lion dollars for wife would not be
able to mock society so easily under
the protection of the law. OF course
change their religion if necessary but
having to comply with that added
formality would help in some degree
to discourage the practice.

REDMOND A GOOD sTRATEe'sT

Since the passage of the Veto bill
John Redmond has received tributes
from sources where one would least
expect to hear a good word said in his
behalf, His worst enemies, while en-
wing him his success, have neverthe-
less given him credit for able and
judicious leadership. A writer in
"Truth" London) calls Mr.. Redmond
the only good strategist in the Eng
lish Parliament. He says:
"Tactics are as indispensable to
success in politics as in war, but nei-
ther the Liberal nor the Unionist lead
ers have greatly distinguished them
selves as tactcians in the fight over
the House of Lords. The only good
ss'ategist has been Mr.. Redmond.
Liberals have for some time protested
themselves DESTROYS of giving Home
Rule to Ireland Mr.. Redmond's OBJ
jective' was to get them to give effect
to their professions as soon as they
had the power In the Parliament of
1906 the Liberal majority was so large
that the Government was not depend
ent on the Irish vote, and If meas
ure was carried in the Commons, 1t
was sure to be thrown out by the
Lords. There was, therefore no chance
for Home Rule In that Parliament,

posal of Sir Henry Campbell Banner

that Ireland ranks sixth among the
countries they have contributed to the
population, says the Irish American.
The report states that there are L.
61S.567 native born Irish and 1920. 10
of Irish decent. The latter figures are
misleading. Under a rule of Mr.. Por-

1890, and since followed, those are
classed as of Irish descent only where
both parents were born in Ireland.
Where only one of the parents is of
foreign birth then the child is classed
as American. The statement is there
