4 PATRIARCH AMONG PRIESTS
Monsignor Herfkens of the Neither
lands has Been a Priest for More
Than Seventy Years-Honored by
The Pope and by Queen WiIhelmina.

The Right Reverend Anton Herfkens
of Terborg in the Netherlands eel
ebrated his ninety-fifth birthday ami
versary on March %. On the fifteenth
of last August he attained the seven
tieth year of his ordination to
the priesthood. For nearly sixty years
he was parish priest in the small city
of Terborg, and only resigned his
pastorate on account of increasing
deafness, although he is still hale and
hearty. He could not, however, give
up the old presbytery in which he had
lived for three score of years and the
garden which he cultivated; nor
would his people allow him to do so.
They built another residence for the
priest who succeeded him, and the
venerable prelate will spend the re-
naming years of his life among his
beloved flock. Monsignor Herfkens
was always ready to assist his neigh
boring priests across the border in the
Prussian Province of Westphalia.
Some years ago the Holy Father be-
sowed upon him the purple robes of
Domestic sPrelate of the Papal
Household; and Queen Wilhelmina
decorated him with the Cross of the
Order of Orange-Nassau.
The late Jesuit Father, A. Pierik, a
distinguished Oriental scholar, was a
alf-brother of this venerable prelate.
Four of Monsignor Herfken's nephews
became priests. Two of them died as
pastors in the Diocese of Leeds, Eng.
land; and his cousin died several years
ago in parish in the Archdiocese OF
New York.

JESUIT MISSIONARIES
FIRST BROUGHT SUGAR CANE TO
LOUISIANA.

Sugar was first made in Louisiana in
1895, though sugar cane had been
grown in various parts of the state
from before the Revolution for the
manufacture of swamp and rum, the
sugar cane having been introduced in
to Louisiana in 1851 by the Jesuit
Fathers from San Domingo, where
their confreres had built up quite a
considerable industry.
The cane grew well, but all attempts
to manufacture sugar from it were
abortive and 1t was not until 1871 that
DON Antonio Mendez succeeded i'm ex-
tracing sugar from cane. Three years
later Etienne de Bore made such
large crop of sugar that many were
induced to 60 into the industry, and it
is to him that the real credit of being
the father Of the industry belongs.
In common with all industries i'm the
experimental stage, the sugar-cane in
dustry of Louisiana was at its incep-
ton very crude and unimportant one
both as to its cultural and manufac-
turing methods and the insignificance
Of its annual output but as the pro-
gressive planter, realizing its future
possibilities abandoned indigo entire
ly and to some extent cotton to sugar
cane, it commenced to enjoy period
of steady growth, until In 1920, the
crop approximated some 20,000,000-
pounds Of sugar. From this time the
industry developed rapidly.

CELEBRATION
The Sisters of Loretto Will Celebrate
Anniversary on April 25th.

The Sisters of Loretto of Loretto,
KY, will celebrate the one hundredth
anniversary of the founding of their
order, April 25th. The celebration
will be marked by Church festivities
suitable to the occasion.
The order was founded by Father
Neryun in 1872, near Bardstown,
KY. The place of the founding has
since received the name of the order.
Fifty years ago a number of the sister
hood went west on the old Santa Fe
Trail and founded branch of the or
der at Santa Fe. Two of their num-
Der died of cholera on boat on the
way from st. Louis. Their graves can
be seen in the Catholic cemetery at
independence, Mo. Many hardships,
among them being an attack by In
dians, were encountered before the
small band reached Santa Fe. After
the attack by the savages it was dis.
covered that one of the sisters had
died of fright.

CHAPLAIN O'KEEFE PROMOTED
Now Ranks as Major-onIy One in
Active Service-Sixteen Catholic
Chaplains in the United States
Army.

President Taft recently signed the
papers promoting Rev. Timothy p.
O'Keefe to the rank of major, after ten
years service as Catholic chaplain
among the enlisted men. He is now
the only one in the list of active Catho-
lie chaplains who holds this high
Office at present and is stationed at
Alcatraz Island, California.
The Catholic chaplain is recognized
as strong factor for military disci-
pline, and his services have been highly
valued by the officers of the army.
They say that he is peculiarly adapted
for his position by the ease with which
he transfers from one post to another
and by the readiness with which he
accepts the order to move. The enlist
ed men have more than ordinary re-
spect for his position, and for that
reason he can do great deal among
the enlisted men in the way of making
them happier and better.
There are now sixteen Catholic chap
lains in the army, and they are all
doing excellent work in their respec-
tive regiments. 1t is work that is
difficult at times, because they have
not the equipment of chapel and they
have to provide many of the necessa-
ries for service from their own re-
sources, and of course they have not
the same authority over their men that
a priest would have in parish.

In 1847 he came to America and OBJ
tanned position on the United States
frigate Michigan, in the department
of DR.. Woods, acting physician, whose
steward he afterwards became. His
knowledge of languages and his assid.
uous attention to his duties commend
ed him to his superior, who offered to
secure for him an honorable position
in the navy of the United States. But
the youth had prediction for the
sanctuary, and he made application to
the Right Rev. Amadeus Rape, Bish-
op of Cleveland, for admission to the
seminary. The Bishop was not favor
ably impressed with him, as he was
very slender and looked to be in deli
cate health, but, owing to the kind
ness and favor of the Very Rev. Faith
er De Goesbriand, he was permitted
to take up his studies for the priest.
hood. On May 25, 1858, when a little
over twenty-five years of age, he was
ordained by Bishop Rape, special
dispensation having been obtained
from Rome. His FIRST field of work
was in Sandusky, after which he was
sent to Canton. He was one of the
professors In the seminary for two
years and afterwards was, for thir-
teen years, pastor of st. Francis de
Sales Church, in Toledo, going to
Cleveland in 1872, where he became
pastor of st. Johns Cathedral and
Vicar General. After trip to Europe
and the Holy Land to recuperate his
broken health he became the chaplain
of the Ursulines at Villa Angela where
he spent the past twenty-seven years.
