For years a sufferer from old wounds

recurrent attacks of rheumatic govt,
the fighter seemed to have shaken
off the burden of his advancing days.
He displayed high spirits at break
fast and ate a hearty luncheon at
noon.
While in his library at 2 o'clock
the admiral was stricken. Instantly
his family sent for DR.. S. S. Adams,
who on his arrival found the patient
in great pain. After treatment AID
miral Evans well into a restless
sleep, and it was thought that the
danger had passed Shortly after 4
o'clock, however, he awakened and,
raising himself with difficulty, an
nounced that he was choking.
Il cannot get my breath" he said,
and sank back. AT 545 o'clock he
died conscious to the end.
AT his bedside at the time of his
death were his wife, his daughter
Mrs. II. l. Sewall, and his daughter

After all is Dr. Cook not as great in his line as any man in the world Peary may have discovered the North Pole and Amundsen the South Pole but neither of them ever could have discovered how easily a great portion of the world could be fooled.
 Cook first deceived all Denmark from the king to the crowd. The tele- graph lines of all the earth flashed the news that he had succeeded in the great search. Were il not that the United States is pretty well on to games like his in a smaller way he might have received the official recog- milton of president and congress. But he fell down and disappeared and by disappearing he virtually admitted his deception.
 But here is where the real greatness of pr. Cook began. After his return he did not hide away and repent of his sins Far from il; he came back and only a few days ago we hear of him in Seattle laying claim once more to having found the pole. If such gall as that is not monumental and worthy of monument nothing ever was.
 The chances are that Cook would have succeeded in his lies if Peary had not happened 10 be on the quest for the pole at the same time. Just imagine what it would be to have him

The king is dead. long live rs pie who have the happy faculty of hitting off thing most wittily. It seems to mean that there is no use bothering about dead one while it is quite profitable to boost the one who occupies the throne.
 Some time ago we heard nothing but Roosevelt. Today there is none so base as 10 do him honor. Roosevelt is dead. long live Wilson.
 The more we travel through this vale of tears the more shall We have impressed upon us. no matter our stage of life. how fieeting are the honors if our success be brief: how quickly the friends of your success ful days can come to regard you as worthless in the days when the clouds of autumn dark are glooming.
 Have you ever been in a position of influence where sycophants toadied to you. and have you lost that position and not found that the sycophants deserted you for your successor?
 Such is life. Men should never be fools and believe that friendship is for yourself and not for what you have got. Theodore Roosevelt is the same man today that he was six years ago but the mistakes of today would have been called virtues while he occupied the White House.
 Watch the telegraph dispatches. If Woodrow Wilsorn catches cold the fact is chronicled to the world while Theodore Roosevelt might have the chickenpox and no one be whit the wiser.
 Long live the king until he dies or quits.

NOME, ALASKA, DEC. 3f, 1912.
WickeRsHAm NOT AN ISSUE.

The recent legislative election iE Alaska has clearly demonstrated one thing. And that IS that the people will not stand for q one man domin- bill had passed there was an inclina ton in different parts of the territory for candidates To announce themselves Hs "Wickersham men," In all proba- hility this was done without the sane ton of the real. successful politician of Alaska. the Hon. James Wicker sham. At all events there was soon a revolt against the idea by some of the former strongest Wickersham sup porters and followers. This was par ticularly true in the first division where the "progressives" put up a ticket headed by the famous or in- famous. Emery Valentine. They sought to bring to il the former Wick ersham support. but the voters would not stand for 1t. and elected the full non- partisan ticket.
 In the fourth division the original idea of putting up a striaght Wick ersham ticket was substituted by an action that resulted in the nomina- ton and election of a non partisan ticket. In the second division a com bination of all clements easily tri- umphed. while in this the third divis- ion. the intention of naming a full Wickersham ticket was displaced by a movement that resulted in the naming of the home rule ticket. which con- tained the names of two democrats and one other opposed to MT. Wicker sham. But of this ticket only two were elected. the other four having been placed on a non partisan ticket. So It is apparent that the Wickersham influence was not predominant at the polls on Tuesday last. In fact it was scarcely an issue. other than in the first district, which the delegate has himself always carried. There are undoubtedly many friends and former supporters of Mir. Uickersham in the legislature. but they are men who will not be dominated by him. although we don't know that he shall wish to in- fiuence them in their actions.-Chitina Leader.

CATHOLIC FEDERATION
Of AUSTRALIA
Organized to Protect Catholic Rights
Has 800 Branches With 10000
Membefs-Promotes Spread of Cath
olic Literature.

Although only a short period has
elapsed since the establishment Of the
Catholic Federation of Australia, the
movement has made rapid progress.
Its present membership is over twenty
thousand, and upwards of three hun
dred branches have been founded.
Clergy and laity constitute the mem
bership Of the organization, and a
more active and up-to-date body does
not exist anywhere.
It was brought into existence pri-
marily with the object of protecting
Catholic rights OF every kind, civil
and spiritual, and also to safeguard
the Catholic Faith and it's institutions
from the viru1ent attacks and misre-
presentations Of bigoted fanatics of
other sects, principally Presbyterian,
Methodist, and what are known gener-
ally by the name Of Wowsers.
1t began its career In a most aus
picious and practical way by inaugur-
ating crusade against bad literature,
on much the same lines as those which
have lately proved so effective In
Ireland. There was grave need of
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1912-10-05

such effort, and the Federation will
find ample scope for it's energy in
the work to which it has put it's hand.
In order to make the campaign con-
certed and effective, the Federation
has invited representatives of the Pro-
testant bodies to meet them in con-
ference on the matter, with a view
to arranging for their cooperation;
and it is interesting and gratifying
to Catholics to note the very cordial
way in which their invitation has
been received.
Many lies have been nailed to the
mast since the Federation began it's
work of exposure and refutation, and
Orangeism has been receiving good
deal of attention at it's hands. The
dissemination of literature bearing on
various subjects connected with Catho-
licism has already done a good deal
towards removing many of the pre-
JUDGES of ignorance and imbuing
greater spirit of tolerance amongst
those who have hitherto been misled
upon all Catholic questions by local
fanatics of the Kensit type.

At meeting held in Philadelphia
last week ten thousand persons crowd

William III. X. Redmond, brother of
the Irish leader, who assured his hear
ers that Ireland was on the eve of
realizing her dream of liberty and
self-government.
When the call for funds was made
more than 1885, was subscribed for
the support of the home rule bill,
and the announcement was greeted
with wild cheers that were taken
up by the multitude that thronged the
street outside of the building and
had remained there in a drenching
rain for three hours, waiting for the
announcement of the total amount
Of the contributions.
Michael J. Ryan, President of the
United Irish League, introduced the
Governor, who delivered short open
ing address and introduced Mr.. Red
mond as the first speaker.
Sir George Croydon Marks, mem
ber of Parliament from Cornwall, and
Sir George MacAlpine, one of the lead
ers of the English Liberal party, ad-
dressed the meeting. Both paid a
tribute to Ireland and her Nationalist
party.

LAST HOURS OF NAPOLEON
The Emperor was ReconcIIed to the
Church before Death.

Evidence from a recent and we'll
authenticated source shows that
when the end came Napoleon made
his peace with God through humble
confession and was reconciled to the
Church.
The "Gaulois" has recently pub
lished most interesting letter
written from Roquefort, May ), 1890,
by the late Countess de Lapeyrouse
de Bonfils. She was the daughter of
General Montholin, who attended Ma
poleon at st. Helena, and Napoleon's
god-daughter. The Countess died a
nonagenarian some years ago. She
gives the following account of the ex-
Emperor's recourse to the aids of re-
ligion, as often narrated to her by her
father: "A few hours before his death
the Emperor expressed a desire to
make his confession. He summoned
Able Vignali, who had been sent to
st. Helena from Rome by the Holy
Father, invested with the fullest facul-
ties His Majesty wanted General
Montholin, my father, to remain in
the room, but the Able said this could
not be allowed. AS the Emperor in
sisted, it was arranged that a screen
should be put up and that the General
should remain behind it, which was
accordingly done. But from obvious
motives of respect and delicacy, the
General, while wishing to defer to the
desire of the august patient, retired
further back into the adjoining sitting
room, the door leading into which was
open, and which was covered by the
screen. At the end of three-quarters
of an hour the Able went to call the
General. When my father returned to
the Emperor's bedroom, His Majesty
exclaimed: All! Montholon, what a
comfort that isl cComme celia fait
du bien!O The Emperor was much
moved, and seemed to recollect him
self in prayer. Count Marchand has
told me that he often Joined his hands,
and that one could see by the move
ment of his lips that he was praying.
Able Vignali said nothing in COM
ment upon the Emperor's disposi-
tions; the whole affair passed be-
tween them i'm the secrecy of the con-
fessional, and he has never alluded
to the matter. The Emperor con-
fessed and received Extreme Unction
of his own initiative with the
simplicity of a child that was most
touching. He was bent upon making
a Christian end, and he openly said
and declared as much"
