- 49,
Conduct College and orphanage
at Chesapeake City, Md.

At Chesapeake City, Md, there is in
course of erection, under the super
vision of Right Rev. Stephen Softer
Ortynsky, D. D., Ruthenian-Greek
Catholic Bishop for the United States,
a College for Girls which will be under
the direction of the Sisters of st. Basil
the Great. The institution will be a
combined home for orphan girls and a
select academy for young women. In
the former department, which will
occupy building apart from the rest
of the institution, Ruthenians chill
dren will be trained in domestic
science and taught the means of earn.
ing livelihood in the large Industrial
centres of the country. In the college
department only the better class of
Ruthenians will be accepted, the oh.
ject being to bring within the educa-
tional scope of the Church the daugh.
ters of the prosperous Austrians and
Ruthenians from Hungary, who are
now obliged to send their daughters
to secular schools.
In the college will be taught the
higher branches of education, the
principal European languages, the
sciences and arts and various accom-
plishments. In addition to- the regular
teachers, who will be the Sisters OF
st. Basil, recently brought from
Austria, there will be staff OF pro
fessors who will have charge of the
more advanced departments in science
Between the two schools will be a
splendid church built in the Greek
style, and adjoining it a commodious
rectory for the use of the Ruthenian
priest who will be in charge. More
than three hundred acres have been
purchased for the institution, which
will cost, for buildings alone, upwards
of 100000.

DENVER CATHEDRAL STRUCK
Tower Shattered by Lightning
$4,000 Damage Done.

During thunderstorm on August Z,
the west tower of the new Cathedral,
Denver, Col, was struck by lightning,
and with a terrific crash, twenty-five
feet of the top was hurled to the
ground, throwing huge, hundred-pound
blocks on all sides. 1t is considered
nothing short of miracle that none
of the workmen on the cement side
walk below was injured. All OF the
pinnacles and balconies in the path
of the falling rock were carried down
with the avalanche. The iron braces
of the roof withstood the strain
wonderfully well, and the roof also
remains intact The damage is
estimated at $4,000, partially covered
by insurance. The dedication of the
Cathedral will take place October 26.

DEATH OF FATHER zOCCH|
Editor of the "CiVilta Cattolica"-A
Noted Preacher, Author
and Journalist.

After a career of thirty-three years
in the Society of Jesus, death has re-
moved one of the most distinguished
figures in Roman life in the person of
Father Gaetano Zocchi, at the age of
sixty-six. He was distinguished as a
preacher, lecturer, author and jour-
nalist AS a preacher, Father Zocchf
was sought after in all the more inn
portant cathedrals. from Milan to
Syracuse; as an author there are
something like twenty works to his
credit; as a journalist he attracted
many years ago the attention of Leo
XIII, who requested him to fill the
editors chair of the "Difesa" of
Venice. This post continued to be
occupied by him until his superiors
summoned him to Rome to act as
collaboration in the Offices OF the
'sCivilta Cattolica," the organ of the
Society of Jesus.
Only few weeks prior to his death
his last book, "The Liberty of the
Pope" was given to the Italian public;
while his work on the "Civlita Cato
lica" continued up to two days before
his death. To the credit of the part
of the press in Italy which can rarely
afford q favorable line for an ecclesias-
tic or an earnest Catholic layman, it
must be said that nothing but admira-
ton for the dead Jesuit's talents and
strenuous career and respect for his
memory is to be found in the obituary
notices of Father Zocchi For quar-
ter of century he used trenchant
pen against those organs, their false
tenets, and their writer's; still his
worth as an honorable and fearless
antagonist disarmed at the hour of his
death the adversaries who had SC
bitterly opposed him during life.

FRENCH MISSIONARY PRIEST
General Butler Pays Tribute to the
Pioneer Catholic Missionary on
the Frontiers of Civilization.

We print an extract from THE
Great Lone Land" tale of travel in
the Northwest of America in 1870, by
the late General William Francis But
Ter. He tells story that may be told
with equal truth of every land under
the sun whence went out call for
apostolic zeal and disinterestedness
The missionary from France was al
ways on hand answering the call and
ready to undergo cheerfully all the
trials and tribulations in obedience to
it anywhere and any time required.
"a few miles northwest of Edmon-
ton a settlement composed exclusively
of French halfbreeds is situated on
the shores of rather extensive lake
which bears the name of Grand Lac,
or St. Albert. This settlement is pre-
sided over by a mission of French
Roman Catholic clergymen of the
Order of Oblates, headed by bishop
of the same order ana nationality. It
is a curious contrast to find in this
distant and strange land men of cul-
ture and high mental excellence devot'
ing their lives to the task of civilizing
the wild Indians of the forest and the
prairie-going far in advance of the
settler, whose advent they have but
too much cause to dread. I care not
what may be the form of belief which
the on-looker may hold-whether it be
in unison or in antagonism with that
faith preached by these men; but he
is only a poor semblance of a man
who can behold such a sight through
the narrow glass of sectarian feeling,
and see in it nothing but the self
interested labor of persons holding
opinions foreign to his own. He who
has travelled through the vast colonial
empire of Britain-that empire which
covers one-third of the entire habit
able surface of the globe and probably
half of the lone lands of the world
must often have met with men dwell
ing in the midst of wild, savage people
whom they tended with a strange and
motherlike devotion. If you asked
who was this stranger who dwelt thus
among wild men in these lone places,
you were told he was the French mis-
sionary; and if you sought him in his
lonely hut, you found ever the same
surroundings, the same simple
evidences of faith which seemed more
than human. I do not speak from
hearsay or book-knowledge. I have
myself witnessed the scenes now try
recall And it has ever been the
same; East and West, far in advance
of trader, of merchant, of sailor or
soldier, has gone this dark-haired
fragile man, whose earliest memories
are thick with sunny scenes by the
bank of Loire or vine-clad slope of
Rhone or Garonne, and whose vision
in this life, at least, is never destined
to rest again upon these oft-remem-
bered places"

GOLDEN JUBILEE
Father Mccarthy of Winnipeg Hon.
ored by Confreres-First Priest in
Charge of Winnipeg Parish-Was
Stationed in DuIuth-A Pioneer Mis-
sionary of Northwestern Canada.

At the close of the annual retreat of
the Oblate Fathers in Winnipeg last
week the Rev. Joseph Mccarthy cele-
brated the fiftieth anniversary of the
taking of his solemn VOWS in the
Oblate Order. He officiated at Solemn
High Mass in St Mary's Church of
which he was the first pastor, and the
sermon was preached by the Most
Reverend Archbishop Langevin.
Rev. Joseph Mccarthy was born in
Dublin in 1889 and joined the Oblate
Order in 1860, coming to Canada two
years later as Professor in St. Jo-
sephs College, Ottawa. In 1867 he
arrived in what is now the Province
of Manitoba, and was ordained to the
priesthood by Archbishop Tache in
1869. After his ordination he organ
lied St. Mary's parish for the Eng
disappearing Catholics of Winnipeg,
and was it's first pastor. In the later
seventies he did missionary work in
various places.
In 1881 he returned to Winnipeg as
Secretary to Archbishop Tache which
position he held until 1888 when he
was again attached to st. Mary's
Church. He celebrated mis- silver
jubilee of ordination in 1894 and two
years later went to Ireland to make
a study of the separate school ques-
tion. In 1904 he visited Ireland again
and on his return was transferred to

STATUE Of THE MADONNA
Found Off Barcelona BY Fisherman
Lost in Expedition Against
Turks-PiIgrims View 1t.

All Catholic Spain is greatly excited
regarding the wonderful discovery of
poor fisherman who lives in BARGE
loneta, suburb of Barcelona Young
Agostino and his little wife are poor
but exemplary people much esteemed
by their neighbors. Recently while
fishing Agostino casting his net, felt
it become extremely heavy and on
drawing it in found it to contain some
thing SO encrusted with marine
plants and shells as to be unrecogniz-
able. These being removed with care,
what was the astonishment of the
fisherman and his mates when a
wondrously beautiful statue of the
Madonna appeared, carved in the most
precious marbles and of an unique
design. The face of the statue is SO
beautiful as to appear the work of a
great sculptor, and she is surrounded
by three children. The news of the
find spread like wild fire and soon
spontaneous pilgrimages were coming
from far and near to the humble little
cot of the fisherman, where on a
cabinet in his humble room the mar
velous statue was placed. So enormous
became the crowds that the municipal
authorities intervened to regulate the
people. Meanwhile experts examined
the work and have declared their
opinion that the statue has been lying
beneath the sea for several centuries,
and that it is recognizable as one of
those which DON John of Austria took
with him i'm that ever memorable ex-
pedition against the Turks which
ended i'm the glorious victory of
Lepanto. Though large sums have
been offered Agostino for his marvel
GUS find he refuses to relinquish it,
saying that il he ever parts with the
statue it will be to his parish church.
How it came to be lost beneath the
sea OFF Barcelona and how it got into
the fsherman's net after reposing for
SO long at the bottom of the ocean are
questions which no one can at present
answer.

IRISH APOSTLE OF ARGENTINA
Monument erected to Father Fahy-A
Missionary in Ohio and Kentucky
Went to Argentina in 1843 and Died
Of Cholera in 1871.

Recently there was witnessed one of
the most historic celebrations ever
held in the Recoleta, Buenos Aires,
Argentine Republic, when handsome
monument erected by grateful peo-
pie to the memory of an Irish priest,
Canon Fahy, was unveiled. The en-
tire press of the city published eulo-
CYSTIC articles on the beloved priest,
and joined it's voice with the Catholic
community in praising the memory of
Father Fahy. DR.. Santiago O'Farrell

man to whim the Irish of the Repub-
lie owe SO much in material wealth
and spiritual consolation.
Planting the Seed.
AS in other countries, as soon as an
Irish colony was formed, they looked
to the Motherland for priest. In the
early days of the last century the first
Irish priest, Father Burke, came to
Argentina. Then in 1929 followed
Father Moran, to be succeeded by
Father O'Gorman, and then came the
Dominican, Rev. Anthony d. Fahy, the
story of whose life has been handed
down from father to son, from gener-
alton to generation.
Previous to the unveiling of the
monument Mass of Requiem was
celebrated by Bishop Terrero of La
Plata. At the conclusion of the Mass,
clergy and laity proceeded to the
cemetery, where Archbishop Espinosa

years ago, but whose work is today

After Archbishop Espinosa had
blessed the grave and monument, DIR.
O'Farrell delivered a panegyric, say
ing in part:
In 1843 Buenos Aires groaned be-
meath the sway Of tyranny. The Irish,
driven out by the persecution and mis-
cry which they had suffered in their
oWA DC5dA " arrive III
considerable numbers on our shores.
In a short time the city became
studied with dwellings, and they soon
realized that their only want was the
priest. In 1843 Father Fahy arrived.
Born in Loughrea, Galway, in 1904, he
made his studies in the Irish Domini-
can Monastery OF st. Clement, Rome.
After being ordained he was sent to
do missionary work in Ohio and Ken
lucky. Ten years of this labor in
those regions gave him the experience
necessary for his great ministry in
Buenos Ares. -.
do not let us forget that it was
Father Fahy who induced the Irish
Sisters, the Daughters of Mercy, to
come here, educators of the poor, as
he also, despite the scarcity of his re-
sources, educated priests who wild
ened the sphere of his apostolic action
and continued it after his death. Dur
ing the cholera epidemic he was con-
stantly at the bedside of the stricken,
and while thus engaged, giving con-
ISOLATION to an Irishwoman, he felt
himself dominated by the plague, and
after few days he died on February

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED
Badness Is Too Generally Coneidered
a Sinn of Advanced Age.


A bald-headed person does net have
an equal chance with one blessed with
a healthy head of hair, because bald
ness is too generally accepted as an
indication Of age. Many large corpora
tons have established an age limit, and

age as new employees.

OF the corn to be planted. If big
cared sorts are selected, plant in
wider rows than where prolific
varieties are used.
s. Open a furrow with turn
ing plow or 20 inch sweep run
ming through the furrow, say
twice, so as to get depth and
width. Put in the bottom of this
furrow from four to six hundred
pounds of fertilizer, depending on
the character of the land. On
heavy clay soils most of the terti-
Iizer may be put IN the drill row
with safety at the time Of planting
the crop. On sandy lands one or
two side applications should be
made and smaller amount put IN
the drill row on account of the
danger of loss from teaching.
8. On the heavy richest type
of red clay soils and on strong
| bottom land use about an 8-3 4.
On Ioamy soils containing some
sand, use 1855. On sandy lands
use a 1G-4-5. On extremely light
sandy soils as much as ~ per cent
of potash may sometimes be used
to advantage.
10. Put in the drill row on the
lighter soils from five to six hun
dred pounds. Mix the fertilizer
thoroughly with the sub-soll,
using bull-tongue for this pur-
pose.
II. When yard manure or leaf
mold can be secured, put two to
FIVE tons IN the open furrow and
mix it we'll with the sub-soll. Ihls
will cause the roots to penetrate
