The Most Reverend Edmund

Trebizond and Canon of the Church
of ST. John Lateran, died at Rome on
February 2S. For many years he was
closely attached to the Papal Court.
He was born in the Diocese of Bir-

moys. He was educated at Oscott
College and at the Noble Academy in
Rome. During the campaign in de-

pilgrims who from time to time
visited the Eternal City.
His funeral obsequies took place at
the English Church of San Silvestro
in Capite, the celebrant of the Mass
of Requiem being His Eminence Car
dinal Vincenzo Vannutelli. The re-
mains were inferred in the tomb
which he had prepared for himself
thirty years ago. Archbishop Stonor

THE POPEs OF ROME
MANY SAINTS AND MARTYRS
NATIoNALlTiEs or THE PoPES-
Plus TX. AND LEO XIII. REIGNED
LONGEST.

OF the first thirty Popes, twenty
nine were martyrs, except st. Diony-
sius, who was the twenty-fifth. The
total number of martyred Popes is
thirty-three; we venerate eighty-two
Popes as saints.
One hundred and four Popes have
been Romans; 103 were natives of
other parts of Italy; Is were French
men; 8 were Greeks; z were Ger
mans; S were Asiatics; were Afri-
cans; were Spaniards; 2 were Dalm-
atians, while Palestine, Thrace, Hol-
land, Portugal and England have
each furnished one occupant of the
papal chair.
Nine Pontiffs have reigned less
than one month, 80 less than one year,
IL more than 20 years, 6 have reigned
over % years. The longest reign,
except that of st. Peter, who was in
Antioch years and in Rome 25 years
2 months and z days, was the reign
of Piux TX, who was Pope 81 years,
z months and 81 days. The next
longest was his successors, Leo XIII,
who was Pope 25 years and months.
The combined successive reigns Of
these two Popes are the longest in
history, covering period OF 81 years
and months.
Including the present Pontiff, there
have been only Popes since the
foundation or the American republic,
the longest series OF reigns since the
foundation or the Church.

THE BULWARK OF THE PARISH
The Value of the Holy Name Society

There is something in the Society
of the Holy Name which takes hold on
the heart of manhood. It's huge demon
strations of marching men are his
toric. But it is not just for its public
display of Catholic manhood that the
non-Catholic denominations envy us
this great spiritual force. It is because
the Society of the Holy Name is SO
effective, though so quiet, an instru-
ment of moral regeneration. It's work
of cleansing the land of the horrible
evil of blasphemous and obscene Ian
guage can never be exaggerated, nor
can its power of bringing men of all
sorts and conditions regularly to the
sacraments. 1t is a leveling up force
in every sense of the word. It cements
the bonds of Christian manhood. 1t
is the bulwark of the parish.
Men feel in their hearts, though few
can put into words, the mighty work
of the Holy Name Society within their
souls. We say it in all reverence; it
traces more or less strongly in its
every true adherent the lineaments of
the manliness of Christ.
It is purely spiritual society. It
concerns itself little with social
gatherings, though when it has them
they are always magnificent demon
strations of religious forcefulness. 1t
has no insurance features. There is
no business of any kind in it. But
outsiders look on and say: We'll, any
how, the Catholic Church can hold her
own" Why? Because the Catholic
Church alone has the right doctrine,
expressed uncompromisingly and with
absolute clearness, on the Incarnation
of the Divine Redeemer. She alone
sets Christ forth as the model of men
in every state of life. This is her work
in every phase of her activity. But
somehow she makes an irresistible
and direct appeal to men as such, and
not simply as part of all humanity,
in the Society of the Holy Name.
1t is the besetting danger of men to
leave what some are pleased to call
the refnements, as distinct from the
absolute essentials of Catholic faith
and practice, to their women. The
Church leads them out of this danger.
She meets their difficulties, their "rm
not good enough" objections with the
simple response: "Christ is Man as
well as God. He feels with you and for
you, and you need Him all the time.
So we see the little, inconspicuous but
most eloquent badge OF knightly fealty
to the great Chief of
men, the head of the human race, as
well as its Redeemer, in the doctors
and the lawyers Office, on the breast
OF the college professor and OF the
collegian, of the master builder as well
as of the laborer and the artisan.
It is the pledge of salvation, for
there is no other name under Heaven
given unto men whereby we must be
saved"

Edinburgh Catholics are rejoiced
at the signal evidences of the worth

been given by the success of young
Catholic student at the University.
James Healy who is only twenty has
carried off the Van Dunlop Scholar

The competition was very keen. Healy

Catholics and the insurance Act.
Under the auspices of the Arch
bishop, the Clergy of Edinburgh have
formulated several important recon-
mendations for the guidance and pro-
lection of their fiocks in the admins
tration of the new Insurance Act.
Parish meetings are to be held, and
lectures will be given explaining the
Act to the people, and advising them
to enter a Catholic Benefit Society
to obtain it's advantages. There is a
certain fear that the Act may be
made the vehicle for efforts to get
Catholic workingmen and women into
Protestant Benefit Societies, which
have a sub-stratum of religion under
lying their surface rules, while the
Socialists are also out to gather un-
suspecting members into clubs and
organizations which have the de-
destruction of all - settled forms of
government and especially religion,
for their ultimate end, though their
intentions may be for the moment
masked under the appearances of

WHOLE DEPENDS ON FARMER
Tiller of the Soil and Not the PoIits-
clan Who Is Responsible for
Our Prosperity.

To hear the average glib-tongued
politician talk, if he could be always
believed, one might imagine him to
be Atlas, the god whom mythology
represents as bearing the world upon
his shoulders. The politician has been
given SO much attention and has been
in the habit so long and SO often OF
proclaiming himself as the savior and
preserver of the nation and of the
race. he himself has reached the con-
clusion that mankind owes him debt
OF gratitude SO large that payment
may be elassed among the impossi-
bilities.
But as a matter Of fact, so far as
the peace, comfort and the very life
of the race Is concerned, all the work
of the politicians OF the land, COM
pared with that Of the tillers Of the
soil, would be found as insignificant
as hucMeberry In wagon bed. It
is the farmer that feeds the hungry
and clothes the naked, says the Knox
vile Journal and Tribune. The city
man In his humble cottage, who sits
down to his simple but nutritious and
refreshing repast, as well as one with
his millions in his palace, wa1lowing
in luxury, must look to the farmer for
the food that keeps him alive and for
the clothing that hides his nakedness.
When the farmer prospers all
classes are more prosperous. He 1t

disagree with our fellow-man about q

assistance Of the farmer. He is q
prince among men and, under Prov
dence, the giver Of good gifts.

ONE NEED OF OUR FARMERS

The standard Of living Is generally

Our people are much more fully sup.

Despite this, it is undoubtedly true
that on a considerable proportion of
our farms the profits from the years

the family to have suitable clothes,

opportunities for education The in.

their children proper opportunities

This need will be met by the new sys'

But the Nashville conference wisely
favored deIiberation and care IN es-

Therefore the conference proposed
that select committee Of two bust

to make a personal study for three

cooperate to obtain cash and credits,
and buy together and sell together.
