Parliament might have been capable
of giving to it. The whole proceeding
had no other authority" to rest on than
the will Of a despotic monarch and a
weak compliance with that will. ex-
torted only by acts of intimidation and
in which justice was administered in
a manner worthy Of the name would
have been held to be abundantly suff1-
cient ground for setting the whole
transaction aside as null and void. OF
course, you will understand that in all
this I am by no means overlooking the
fact that, even If the surrender of st.
Patrick's and its extensive possessions
by the dean and chapter had been car
ried out as freely as, on the contrary,
1: was permeated with so much that
was discreditable, the proceeding
would still have been Of no real effect.
The dean, the other dignitaries, the
members Of the chapter, and we may
include the Archbishop himself, they,
all of them, held office. Of course, for
their own time only, and they had no
more authority to hand that church
or to anyone else. than, let us say, the
present Corporation of Dublin would
have to hand over the mansion house
and its grounds to me to provide me
with a stately residence in Dawson
street. Now, have mentioned all this
as furnishing at all events a possible
explanation of the approximations, alto
gether groundless as they are. that
have been aroused In the mind of the
worthy Bishop. AS to the fact that
the building of a great Cathedral,
worthy of the predominantly Catholic
capital Of this predominantly Catholic
country, has not as yet been taken in
hand, and the other fact, that no. au-
thority has been obtained from the
Holy See, or no application made to
the Holy See, for the elevation Of our
church in Marlborough street to tho
dignity Of Cathedral dignity which,
let me explain, cannot be conferred
upon any of our churches but by the
Holy See alone-these are purely &C.
clesiastical affairs, having no earthly
connection with the matter into con-
nection with which 1t has been sought
to draw them. I need say no more. I
beg once more to thank You for the
resolution you have been good enough
to tender to me, and I gratefully &C.

Catholic Magazine for tho Blind.

An announcement of interest and
Importance is that just made by the
Xavier Braille Publication Society for
the Blind. 1t is preparing to issue
monthly magazine In American Brallle
In which it is proposed to give d short
summary Of Catholic news, and a re-
view of topics, of general interest as
presented in editorials and other ar
ticles selected from some of the lead
ing Catholic weeklies. The subscrip-
ton price has been fixed at one dol
lar a year, and it is planned to have
the first number appear about the first

colony. Their lives are consecrated to
the work just as Father Damien's was
in far away Hawaii. At their head is
Father Keenan,; assisting him is Sis
ter Benedicta. one of the nuns who
was driven from France when the gov
eminent stepped in and took the con-
vents.
She fled to this country and asked
for some religious work to do. She
was assigned at once to the leper col
ony, and there she is now helping the
poor unfortunates. 1t is her care to
see that their tortured lives are made
as pleasant as possible.
The colony has not been there long,
but fifteen have already died and there
are as many more who will go soon.
1t Is the work of the good priests and
Sisters to see that the doomed ones
can forget. They arrange entertain
ments, make up croquet parties, take
long walks and drives, and do any,
thing to amuse the poor unfortunates
who must stay there until they go to
their graves. .a
But best Of all is the leper choir.
Those who have voices and a knowl-
edge of music sing in the church regu-
larry, and the practice they receive in
singing is part of the plan to help
them forget their doom.
The state pays $4,000 a year for
the support of the home and the rest
of the expense is met by the Benedic-
tine Order. 1t is little enough, as
those who are closest to this great
charity we'll know.

ART INSTITUTE
Proposed BY Bishop McGoIrick TO,
Duluth


Duluth.
Bishop McGolrick has formulated
plans for an art gallery and school for
Duluth which, If they receive finan-
cial backing, will give that city an in
stitution that will not only reflect the
culture of the people of Duluth but
will aid materially in cultivating a
taste for art among the school children
who have now no advantage of that
kind. Writing of the proposed insti-
tute, Bishop McGolrick says:
Does it not appear that the time
has come for some careful considera-
ton Of plan for an art museum?
Consider the thousands of children
growing up in our schools whose ar
tistic tastes would be cultivated by the
opportunities afforded in such a GAL
lery.
Besides, there are some, myself,
amongst the number, who If there were
a decent home for art treasures, would
gladly present such Of their collections
as would contribute to the education
of the people.
I'm very few years growth of
refinement and good taste would be
developed in our homes and surround
ings which would well repay the
givers.
"At present we have not a statue. a
fountain nor an artistic composition
of any kind to teach lesson or to
beautify our city.
Fortunate is he who at an early
age knows what art u.s. writes Goethe:
and Hamerton writing on this says,
1t would be difficult in the whole
course OF ancient or moderate litera-
ture to find sentence relating to art
implying so much thought and expert
erce as this Goethe felt that true
knowledge of subject SO difficult and
complicated as art. is, If we reach it at
all. unhappily only too likely to be
reached at time Of life when it comes

tunate man among men to whom art
ts Of any consequence, is he to whom
this knowledge comes early, when it
may light up for him the obscurity In
which he works. And If we had &C.
cess to Goethe's mind such as It was
when he wrote that profound and i'm
mortal sentence, we should discover
most probably. that he used that word
art In sense much more comprehen-
sive than the sense that is commonly
attached to it, and that, in his much
embracing view, the good consequent
ces Of a knowledge of what art is
would extend to many spheres of hu-
man activity.

The snow had begun in the cleaning,
And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
With a silence deep and white.
Every pine and fir and hemlock
Wore ermine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm tree
Was ringed inch-deep with pearl.
From sheds new roofd with Carrara,
From chandeliers muffled crow,
The stiff rails were softened to swans
down
And still fluttering down the snow.
I stood and watched by the window
The noiseless work of the sky,
And the sudden f1urries Of snow birds,
Like brown leaves whirling by.
I thought Of mound In sweet Auburn
Where little headstone stood;
~AN" LILO AAohCo "CAc IL S6uIlys
AS did the robins the babes in the
wood.
Up spoke our own little Mabel,
Saying Father, who makes It
snow?"
And I told Of the All-Father
Again I looked at the snowfall
And thought of the leaden sky
That arched DER our first great sor.
row,
When that mound was heaped so
high.
I remembered the gradual patience
That fell from that cloud like snow,
Flake by flake. healing and hiding
The scar of our deep-plunged woe.
And again to the child I WHISPERED,
1.-THE snow that husheth all,
Darling, the merciful Father
Alone can make it fall"
Then with eyes that saw not kissed
her;
And she, kissing back, could not
know
That my kiss was given to her sister,
Folded close under deepening snow.

BOY BANDITS ROB
WITH CAP PISTOL
They Hold UP Randall ST.
Clair and Perhaps Dis
figure Him for Life.

Three boys about Il or Is years old
turned highwaymen Monday night and
robbed Randall ST. Clair, aged IL, at
the point of cap pistol in West Pike
street in front of the First Methodist
Episcopal church.
The young highwaymen fired the
cap pistol in Randall,s face, burning
him painfully and perhaps distiguring
him for life. Then they took his
purse, extracted all the money there
was in it and fed III the darkness.
The victim had 80 or 60 cents in
change in the purse.
Randall is the son OF Elmer St
Clair. the well known tailor OF the
firm OF st. Clair and Albaugh. His
father and mother are justly indignant
over the outrageous conduct OF thei1
sons assallaRts and are determined to
prosecute them. Efforts are now be-
ing made to find the youthful high.
waymen and as soon as they are To-
Gated and identified they will be ar.
rested on warrants charging then,
with highway robbery. T!1ese war,
rants have been prepared in Justice
Samuel w. Gordon's court.
Mrs. ST, Clair visited the public
schools Tuesday and enlisted the as.
sfstauce Of the school authorities in a
search for the young bandits.
