To HEAD THE ARM
General Barry Slated to Succeed Gen

tinguished Career.

Major General Thomas Henry Barry,
United States Army, now commanding
the Eastern Division, with headquar-
ters on Governors Island, New York
Harbor, is slated to be the new chief
of staff to succeed Major General
Leonard Wood on March next.
General Woods detail as chief of
staff expires automatically with the
term of President Taft. The decision
to appoint General Barry came after
great deal of argument in Washing
ton. General Barry had two rivals
Major General Arthur Murray, now
commanding the Western Division,
and Brigadier General William Gro
zier, the present Chief of Ordnance.
Before going to West Point, he was
a newsboy in lower New York and
fought his way to the academy from
most humble surroundings without the
slightest outside assistance, his pre-
paration being limited to night
schools. On his graduation young
Barry was assigned to the Seventh
Cavalry.
General Barry has held the most inn
portant of army assignments, and until
recently was superintendent of the
United States Military Academy. Dur
ing President Cleveland's second ad-
ministration he was on duty in the
Office of Secretary of War Lamont.
He has rendered conspicuous serv-
i've against the Sioux Indians in South
Dakota and was mentioned in general
orders for saving sailor from drown
ing in San Francisco Bay on October
2, 1892.
Should General Barry be designated
as chief of staff, which is nominally
the highest position in the army, 1t
will be the first time that Catholic
has held this position since the death

Sisters of St. Joseph of Troy,
N. Y, Occupy New Provincial
Motherhouse and Novitiate Which
Was Formerly St. Joseph's Sem
inary-CardinaI Farley Officiates at
Dedication.

With solemn and impressive cere-
house and Novitiate of the Sisters of
St. Joseph of Troy, New York, was
dedicated on December 18th, by His
Eminence Cardinal Farley.
The event was of more than local
Importance inasmuch as the new in
stitution was formerly the st. Joseph
Theological Seminary in which large
number of the clergy of New York
were educated for the priesthood.
Cardinal Farley himself is an alumnus
of this Seminary.
After the dedication Pontifical High
Mass was celebrated by the Right
Reverend Bishop Burke of Albany, in
the presence of His Eminence and a
large number of prelates, priests and
sisters of St. Joseph. The sermon was
preached by the Right Reverend. Mgr.
John Walsh of St. Peters Church,
Troy. The chapel in which the serv-
ices were held remains practically the
same as it was in other days when
it held the worshipping Seminarians.
No attempt has been made to add to
it's dignified simplicity. The Sisters of
St. Joseph showed a forethought and
considerateness for the ancient ira
ditions which is very gratifying to the
alumni.
After Mass dinner was served to His
Eminence and the visiting clergy, and
in the afternoon the ceremonies were
brought to a close with Solem Bene-
diction of the Blessed Sacrament.

Provincial Motherhouse is at Troy,

NOTED JOURNALISTS DEAD
Father Bailey, Founder of "La Croix,"
Paris, and Count Verspeyen, Editor
of ole Bien PubIique," Belgium.

Fl The whole of Catholic France
mourns the death of the Rev. Vincent
de Paul Bailey, the Assumptionist
Father, who founded La Croix, who
passed away recently in his 81st year.
His brother, the General of the
Assumptionists, was with him at the
end and administered the last sacra-
ments, also bringing him the special
blessing of the Sovereign Pontiff. The
hero of the Catholic press of France
was Graded amongst all that was
great in the Catholicism of his day;
and Montalembert, Ozanam and the
founders of L'Univers, the Tribune,
and many great movements were
frequent visitors to his fathers salon.
To Father Bailey, then young teleg-
raphist, we owe the long distance
lines without which we cannot exist
today. He acted as private telegraphist
to the Emperor Napoleon III at Yer
sailles, and later, after he and his
younger brother, Emmanuel, had
simultaneously received their voca-
tion, Father Bailey saw service as
chaplain of the Pontifical Zouaves. He
fought at Montana. and Monterotunda
side by side with Captain Wyard,
afterwards Superior General of the
Trappists. Afterwards he went
through the Franco German war. It
may be said that his whole life was a
warfare, for with the founding of 'sLe
Pelerin" in 1873, and LA Croix" in
1880 he entered the lists indeed. The
appearance of the new paper display
ing proudly a great crucifix on it's
title page enraged the anti-Catholics
and Mortified the Liberals. Even some
Catholics looked upon it with misgiv-
ing and for a time, by order of the
Archbishop of Paris, the crucifix was
withdrawn. But the paper did not
flourish without il and it was soon
replaced. He worked with wonderful
syigor and was ever on the alert. 1t
was only when conciliatory methods
were considered best that by command
of the Pope he laid down his pen,
with regret, but entire obedience. The
remaining years of his life were spent
in conducting pilgrimages to Rome,
the Holy Land and La Salette. The
funeral took place with great SIM
plicity, the beloved apostle of the
press being inferred at the cemetery
of Mont Parnasse.
In the same week Belgium lost it's
oldest Catholic journalist, Count Will
liam M. Verspeyen, chief editor of LIE
Bien Publique," officer of the Legion
of Honor and famous lawyer attached
to the Court of Appeal. For a half
century Count Verspeyen had been the
centre of Catholic journalism in Bel

Congregation of st. Joseph of Caronde-
let, St. Louis. Troy is one of the four
provincial headquarters of the Order
in the United States.
The new Motherhouse at Troy-the
remodelled Theological Seminary of
st. Joseph-was first erected as a
Methodist Seminary, but through lack
of funds it did not long fulfil it's orig
inal purpose. In 1862 it was purchased
by Archbishop Hughes of New York
and two years later was opened as
theological seminary. For over third
of century it served as center Of
clerical training and it's alumni are
found in all parts of the United States.
In 1896 it's students were transferred
to the new Dunwoodie Seminary in
New York, and for several years it
remained unoccupied. =. Two years ago
it was purchased by the Sisters of st.
Joseph for one hundred thousand dol
lars and remodelled to suit their pur-
poses. The cost of renovating the in
stitution was about one hundred thou

The new Motherhouse is built in the
Italian Renaissance style of architec-
ture. 1t is four stories high, 2S0 feet
long and IA feet wide. 1t consists of
three pavilions with connecting Sec
tions. Four majestic towers rise from
the corners of the central pavilion in
which the chapel is located. It occu-
pies magnificent site on hill above
the City of Troy overlooking the Hud-
son River.
For more than half a century the
Sisters of st. Joseph have labored in
the Province of which Troy is the
headquarters. There are now about
five hundred Sisters belonging to the
Community. The old Motherhouse will
be used as convent residence for
the Sisters teaching in the parochial
schools of Troy.

BISHOP IS PRESIDENT
Bishop of Urgei Rules Republic Of
Andora.

Apropos of the election of Arch
bishop Noual of San Domingo as Pro
visional President of the Republic, it
is interesting to know that a similar
situation obtains on the borders of
Spain. This is the little Republic of
Andora, the President of which is the
Bishop OF Urgel. Andora is even a
more miniature republic than that of
Marino, which, small as it was, in
formed Napoleon I. that it wished to
have nothing whatever to say to him
or his affairs. In imitation of the
great Emperor, Italy has always re-
spected Marino, just as Spain has left
inviolate Andora.

THE INFANT CHRIST IN ART|
HOW THE BRUSH OF THE
PAINTER HAS PICTURED THE
SCENE AT BETHLEHEM.

The Dresden gallery is considered
by the best critics one of the great
galleries of Europe. It is the rival OF
the Pitt and Ufizi in Florence. Like
these two galleries it contains some OF
the valuable masterpieces of the great
Italian masters. One of the most
famous of these is the birth of Christ
in the Manger, by Corregio, called the
Holy Night. Corregio was one of the
foremost Italian painters of the Rem.
aissance and he achieved one of his
real masterpieces in this painting. It
represents the birth of the Christ-child
in the manger, with his mother bend.
ing over him in alteration. The
light from the Infants eyes lights up
the mothers face, and peace and JOY
are on her countenance. Joseph stands
there watching the Infant with pater-
nal pride, which he shares with His
mother. The coming of the Christ is
heralded by group of beautiful
angels lowering overhead who are
there to guard His coming. The wise
men have already heard the story and
are coming to see the wonderful child.
They are coming from afar to proclaim
Him king. Though it is still night the
mysterious birth il1umines the simple
and humble place, which has an air of
Joy and contentment in spite of it's
poverty. Corregio represents the So
lemnity and the simplicity of the place
with consummate art. He tells the
story without wishing to reproduce
any startling effect.
The same story is told in Raphael's
masterpiece, the Madonna enthroned.
BY many critics this is held the most
valuable painting in the gallery and
thousands of strangers come to Dres-
den to see this much priced picture.
In this painting the most tender beau
ty is woven with mysterious vision.
1t get it's name from the monastery
of Benedictines at Piacenza for whom
the picture was painted. 1t shows the
Virgin and the child in clouds with
st. Sextus on the right and st. Bar
bara on the left and with the cherubs
underneath.
The curtains have been drawn apart
and the Virgin appears coming from
heaven holding her child in her arms.
She is not pressing him to her breast,
but holds him as though she wished
to say, He is not mine, He is yours
yes He belongs to humanity" There
1s an expression of contentment and
supreme intelligence seen on the face
OF mother and child. 1t were difficult
to find another picture where the joy
of motherhood and the innocence of
childhood are more happily shown.
The beauty of this picture is height
ened by the cherubs who are also look
upward in alteration It is said that
these are the most beautiful cherubs
1n the world and certainly it would be
hard to find any that are 1ovelier. A
more serious note is given by the

saints who are protecting and in ador-
alton before the mother and child. st.
Barbara kneels before them with JOY
GUS heart and Sextus with holy rev.
erence. The glory of this picture is
also in it's splendid coloring. The Ma
donna's robes are green and red, SYM
bolic of hope and love. st. Sextus
wears the royal purple of the church
and st. Barbara in blue is the symbol
of purity.
In charming contrast is a copy of
Raphaels lovely Madonna della Sedia
or the Madonna seated in the chair.
The original is in Italy, but this is con.
sidered the finest copy ever made.
Mary is seated in chair holding her
infant in her arms and with the baby
John resting against her knees. Christ
is nesting close to His mother and
the infant John looks at Him with
wonder and exhaltation. 1t were hard
to find another picture anywhere that
has SO much of the human note and
still it lacks the intelligence and
power found in the other Raphael Ma
donna.
Among the earliest representations
of the Holy Night none is more un.
usual than Lorenzo di Credits Holy
Family. Christ is typified as resting
in the manger sleeping on a bed of
straw. His mother is shown kneeling
before Him with eyes bent low and
hands clasped in prayer.
The Infant is playing with straw
unconscious of His mothers Joy. JOS
eph seated outside is guarding his
family. In the background is the river
Tiber spanned by beautiful bridges.
Beyond are the seven great hills on
which the city is built. The picture
is painted with exquisite color and
with that peculiar delicacy SO typical
of the Italian painters.
The same theme is treated in much
the same way in beautiful picture
by Giacomo Francia, only the back
ground is omitted and the figure OF
John is used instead When this was
bought for the gallery it was supposed
to have been work of Perugino's.
The Madonna and the children show
love and humility, but their faces have
strength and determination that is
shown in few of the studies OF the
Madonna and the Child.
A companion study for strength and
character is seen in the Holy Family
of Andrea Mantegna. The Holy Fam
lily have been visited by Elizabeth and
the little John. They are all overcome
by the reverence they have for the
Christ-child. Still. every face, including
those of the children, is depicted with
character and understanding. Tho
figures are taken out of the mystical
into the real and human.

SOME MARIAN SHR|NEs
Historic Places in the Old and New
Worlds-Many Unmarked in the
Gin
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
the Rev. T. T. Holzknecht, o. S. F.)

In all Catholic countries there are
confers graces and favors more evi-
IDENTIFY and readily than elsewhere
through the power of Mary's interces-
sion. These miraculous shrines are
places of pilgrimage. The most IA
nous ones in Europe are Loretto in
Italy, La Salette and Lourdes in
France, Czenstochowa in Poland,
Kevelaer in Germany, Mariazell in
Austria, Montserrat in Spain, Knock
in Ireland and Einsideln in Switzer-
land, Guadalupe in Mexico, Auries-
vile in New York, Holy Hill in Wis
consin and many others. All have
their history, but with all is linked
the glory of Mary and her ever-ready
help for afflicted mankind In the
litany we invoke Mary the Consola-
ton of the Afflicted and as such she
manifests herself continually in her
chosen shrines.
To perpetuate the memory of our
Americans love to erect to the Queen
of Martyrs chapels ON sites where
these holy men lived and died The
places where our holy faith first was
planted is honored instinctively by a
grateful people. Places thus far over
looked are St. Paul, where heroic
Hennepin prayer at the firestake;
Crystal Falls, where aged Menard was
tomahawked; Ludington, where saint
ly Marquette entered into heavens
bliss; South Bend, where Jealous Al
louez finished a forty years mission
ary career.
Here in Wisconsin refer the reader
to a historic place where this holy
man built his first altar to Mary as
early as the year 1871. What is now
called the township st. Marie in
Green Lake county, had the honor of
the first shrine of Mary in Wisconsin.
Near his st. James mission chapel
on higher ground Allouez had first
erected St. Mary's in the fields. Later
this chapel was given the name st.
Mary of the Fountain. Distant on Fox
River shore one mile from Princeton,
Wisconsin, Father Allouez and his
successors lived nearly half cen
tury. In 1851 the Franciscan, Louis
Godhaart, erected chapel and
in 1860 Father Edward Gray, of Ripon,
built the brick chapel, st. Mary of the
Fountain. Pere Marquette, according
to an old report in the mouth of the
people, blessed this fountain June 1,
1878. In 1921 Pere Charlesvoix visited
the spot and mentions this well, which
Pere Marquette describes as min
eral water of good quality. Of the
chapel nothing remains now except
the old high cross by the fountain
blest in 1892, and lone visitors come to
pray there and drink the healing
water. For more than ten years
crowds of Irish and Polish Cath
olics from Marquette and Green Lake
counties have gathered there to hear
the praises of Mary and the sanity
missionaries, Allouez, Marquette and
Hennepin. An unfortunate lease of
ninety-nine years put an end here to
all public devotions. Let us hope not
forever.

A whitesouled host, spotless court,
Is Thine, dear Child, each Christmas
Day,
Oh, may that memory sweet become

And sin and trial bar our way,
Remember that white innocence
That paid Thee court, on Christmas
