railroads didn't run Bowling went in
motor cars or carriages. On the narrow
gauge tracks he mounted railway hand
car and pumped himself over the line.
Where other methods of transportation
failed he walked; in the bayou parishes
launches and rowboats were called into
service.
"Dowling's way Of dealing with condi-
tions as he found them was something
OF a shock After spending day in in
specting town he would stand up at
meeting of citizens in the evening and
say; You have very dirty town here.

they became better acquainted with the

thinking. Cleaning-up days became the
rage all over the state.

than the children of light are only
too true And, oh, how this grieves
the heart of His Holiness and fills
him with grave concern.
whilst the august Pontiff seizes
this opportunity of expressing to you
and to all the members of this meri-
torious society his paternal satisfac-
ton at the good they have done up
to the present, and at what they pro-
pose to do in the future, he wishes
through them to make Catholics feel
a still more lively consciousness of
this exalted duty and to let all under
stand that to close the eyes to such
great destruction of souls as the
bad press causes every day is not a
thing to give tranquility before God
to those who believe in Him and pro-
fess to love Him sincerely"

couple seeking such a marriage must

the church regarding matrimony. That
Is, there can. be no impediments to
marriage-such as previous union, etc.
The priest holds a double permit to
marry-one from the church, the 9TH
err from the state. When acting as a
priest he must also represent the
state. But not always the reverse. He
can therefore act as a state official
and witness the marriage contract. as
does Judge. This permission is some
times granted for special reasons of
friendship, ETC., as was the case in
Kansas City. There the priest did not
bless the union, but merely took the
profession of each and pronounce them
united according to the law of the
land.
If the priest can act in the separate
capacity Of state official, why can
he not marry even divorced Protest.

He could. and legally, as the state
is concerned as long as he sees the
laws of the state are protected; but
as a member of the church he cannot
legally take part or try to do what
his organization says cannot be done.
He would be then in the position be-
fore the church that Judge or JUS
tice will find himself who tries to mar
ry a couple one of which is already
married and not divorced. 1t would
be an attempt to do what Is pro-
nounced impossible and is null.
When told of the case Father Man.

saying that even as civil official il

A Famous Astronomer.

One of the most eminent scientists
of the last century was the distin-
guished Irishman, William Parsons,
third Earl of Ross. He was educated
at Dublin and Oxford universities,
where he won high honors In mathe-
mates and the higher sciences. He
represented Kings County in Parlia-
ment from 1921 to 1884, and succeed
ed his father in the earldom in 1s41,
In 1s45 he was elected a representa-
tive peer OF Ireland. He filled the
distinguished post of Chancellor of
the University of Dublin for many
years.
Although a strong Conservative, he
latterly took little part in politics,
and his name was unheard in the de-
bates during the whole of the stir
ring period that embraced the Cath

ments The charms Of science grad
ually weaned him from all pursuits
that interfered with it's cultivation.
During the discussion of the Reform
bill he was occupied with the con-
struction Of his first great telescope,
: the speculum of which had diam
eter of three feet, being larger than
that of any previous instrument.
Its success was so complete that
he was emboldened to construct one
with speculum double the diameter.
Every step in the process, necessitat-
ing combination of scientific knowl-
edge and mechanical skill, had to be
pioneered by experiments, and sue
cess was won at the cost of many
and harassing failures. The gigantic
speculum was at length turned out
without warp or flaw. 1t was mount
ed on telescope fifty-two feet in
length. The machinery required to
; move such a ponderous instrument
taxed all Lord Ross's mechanical
genius.
The task was completed in 1915, af-
ter seventeen years labor, at an out
lay of upwards of 100000. 1t was
one of the finest instruments in the
! world until the famous American
telescope was constructed at the Lick
Observatory i'm San Ernncisco Tord

ciety. and served on number OF

on the S1st of October, 1867, ut the
age of sixty-seven, and was buried
in the Church of st. Brandon, Par.
sonstown, in Kings County, where
his famous telescope was erected.

PROTESTANT WEDDING
A Priest officates With Permission Of
Cardinal.

When Cardinal Gibbons was in Kan
sas City lately he was visited by Mrs
Belle Danforth of Leavenworth, Kan,
and E. H. Danforth of Kansas City,
who made an unusual request.
Mrs. Danforth and Lane were en-
gagged to be married. They both are
Professionals, but Chaplain Ferry, the
Catholic priest at Fort Leavenworth,
is warm friend of Mrs. Danforth,
and she desired him to perform the
marriage. The Cardinal granted a
dispensation. Accompanied by Mr..
and Mrs. e. J. Barrick and Chaplain
Lieutenant Doran of Fort Leaven-
worth, the pair were married at the
Coates House in Kansas City last
week.
The above, taken from Kansas
City paper, was shown to Father
Organ with the question, How can
that be done?"
Father Organ answered.: No dis
pensation is needed. 1t only requires
the permission Of our superior to as
