CARDINAL COuLL|E's WILL
Had Nothing to Dispose of-Asks
Prayers of the Faithful.

The last will, dated April 13, 1902,
of the late Cardinal Coullie, Arch
bishop of Lyons, has been published.
Having expressed his gratitude to his
masters and to the Diocese of Paris,
which followed and sustained him
with such charity during his seminari-
ate, he asks pardon of the priests and
faithful of the Dioceses of Orleans and
of Lyons for his negligences, and
adds: God knows as my witness that
I loved them much"
Having instituted Mgr Dechelatte
his universal legatee, the Cardinal
says: My good relatives, cousins ger
name, know that I entered into the
priesthood poor. They will not be
astonished that I die poor. 80
I desire to repose in the primatial
church of Lyons. A simple slab will
close the vault, with simply name, the
date of death and the 'Requiescat in
pace No flower, no wreath on my
coffin or on my tomb. No word the
day of my funeral; prayers only
above all, prayers"

THE IRISH FEIS
Gaelic League Is Introducing 1t Into
American Cities-First Organized In
Boston Year rAgo-PhiIadeIphia to
Have an Elaborate One.

The syllabus of the Feis which is
being organized in Philadelphia by
the Gaelic League of Ireland is very
extensive one. 1t is the impression
that Irish speakers in Philadelphia
are sufficiently numerous and inter
ested in their native language, music
and literature to make the forthcom-
ing Feis compare favorably with that
of any city in the United States.
The Gaelic League of Ireland is
introducing feiseanna to this country
for the purpose of keeping alive all
that remains here of the Gaelic Ian
guage, music and literature. The feis
has been the most powerful weapon
used by the Gaelic League in it's policy
of combating Anglicization in Ire
land. Nearly every important town
and city today in Ireland has its an
nual feis. From Belfast to Dingle and
from Waterford to Derry these fes-
tivals have been formed into a chain
which prevents the inroads of West
Britonism.
Twelve months ago the feis was an
uAhAOWA WOIu w GAC udJUT1by Ol LuC
Irish people in America who left Ire
land previous to the founding of the
Gaelic League. Today nearly every
person that reads knows what wonder
full work has been done since Amer
ica's first feis was organized in Boston
on the 21st OF November last Since
that date feiseanna have been held in
Springfield, Providence, Worcester,
New York and Chicago, attracting a
total of nearly forty thousand people,
and it lis estimated that that grand
total will be exceeded in Philadelphia
alone, as particularly strong effort is
being made by the organizer to make
the Philadelphia Feis the greatest
gathering OF the Irish people ever
held at any feis either in Ireland,
England or the United States.

A JESUIT PAT R|ARC h
Father MasseIis of Detroit has Been
Seventy Years Priest.

Rev. Benedict j. Masselis, S. J., of
IS. Peter and Paul's Church, Detroit
has been a member of the Society of
Jesus for seventy years. ''The
Patriarch of the Society of Jesus" as
he is known in Detroit, joined the so
ciety September 27, 1912.
FIR. Masselis was born in West
Flanders, Rousselaere, Belgium,
March Z, 1920, and lived in that city
until six years after joining the or
der when he came to America. In
1853, he was ordained by Bishop
Spaulding in the Cathedral at Louis
vile, KY. FIR. Masselis holds the dis
tinction of being the first man or
dained in that Cathedral, which was
then new Bishop Spaulding, who or
dained him, afterward became Arch
bishop of Baltimore.
FIR. Masseli's next work was as a
missionary with Rev. Arnold Damon
and Rev. Cornelius Smarius in New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore
Scranton, New Orleans, Chicago and
other cities.
For some time FIR. Masselis was
pastor in Jesuit churches in Washing
ton, Mo-, and Bardstown, KY. He
was in the latter city when the civil
war broke out, and was removed to
ST. Charles, Mo. In 1863 he was again
assigned to missionary work, which
occupied period of about fifteen
years. From 1873 to 1880 he was pastor
Of the Jesuit church in Milwaukee,
Wis, and was then returned to Wash
ington, Mo. In 1885 he was assigned to
the pastorate in Detroit FIR. Mas
sells was pastor there until 1902, when
at the age of SO, he was relieved
Of all active duties i'm connection with
the Church and it's work.
Father Masselis is i'm his ninety
third year. He is hale and hearty,
and often laughingly declares that the
only thing he breads in this world is
old age. He is punctual and par
ticipates in all the services i'm the
Jesuit house in Detroit. He reads
Mass every morning without spec
tacles, having discarded them several
years ago. Tt is common sight to
see him walking about the premises
of the University of Detroit alone,
and without the aid Of a cane. His
retentive memory would reflect credit
on man half his age, and his recol-
lection OF events which happened
years ago, is remarkable

CATHOLIC SURGEON GENERAL
Brigadier General Torney Heads
Medical Corps of the United States
is Planning Hospital Automobile
to Care for Wounded.

At the head of the Medical Corps of
the United States Army today, is Sur
geon General George H. Torney, hav-
ing the rank of Brigadier General.
Like his predecessor in this i'm
portant position major General
Robert M. O'Reilly) General Torney is
Catholic.
He was born in Maryland on June
1, 1850, and was appointed to the
army as First Lieutenant and AS
sistant Surgeon, June 26, 1875. Just
five years after, he was promoted to
the rank of captain. On June 6, 1894,
he became Major and Surgeon, and
on August 6, 1903, Lieutenant Colonel
and Deputy Surgeon General. He
was promoted to the rank of
Colonel on April %, 1908, and on
January Ia, 1909, he attained his pres
ent rank and position, upon the re-
tirement of General O'Reilly. General
Torney had his degree of M. D. from
the University of Virginia, in 1870,
and soon after entered the United
States navy as Past Assistant
Surgeon, but resigned in 1875 to en-
ter the other arm of the service.
During General Torney's thirty
seven years of service, he has per-
formed duty in all parts of the United
States and the Philippines. He was
highly commended for his efficient
service during the San Francisco
earthquake.
General Torney is member of st.
Matthew'S parish, Washington. He is
at present engaged in studying the
working drawings of new automo-
bile. The Hospital Department of the
United States Army is planning a new
method of taking care of wounded
soldiers on the battlefields. Instead
of sending out carriers to bring badly
injured men to the field hospitals, as
has hitherto been the case, it is now
proposed to take the hospital to the
wounded. This vehicle combines
every facility for performing the most
delicate operations. AS soon as the
final plans have been decided upon, ii
is proposed to order one machine Fl
it is satisfactory, General Torney will
ask for an appropriation covering the
purchase of at least fifty moving
hospitals.

THE COURTLINESS
Of WASHIu I 0 n
He Used as a Text Book in Polite
ness a Work Written by a Jesuit
Priest-Washngton "Ruies of Civ
ilitv" Is Based on This Book Which
was Entitled "The Life-Blood of a
Master Spirit"

A remarkable fact in the life OF
George Washington has just been
brought to light by the publication OF
a book entitled: Belgium, the Land
of Art" by the Houghton, Mifflin Co.,
of New York According to the
author, DR.. Griffis, Protestant min
lister, Americas first President owed
his courtly demeanor and politeness
to his early training in a school con-
Quoted by a teacher who used a book
on roliteness written by Jesuit Fa-
ther. The portion of DR.. Griftis' book
dealing with this interesting fact and
reproduced in the current issue OF
America" is as follows:
VERY curiously, we Americans owe
much of the invaluable example of re-
finement and dignifed courtesy set
by our early Presidents, Washington,
Madison, and Monroe, before young
nation just carved out of the back
woods to a Jesuit, Father Leonard
Perrin. Posthumous but real was the
influence of this man, who lived In
the Walloon district of France.
Through his little book, the lifeblood
of master spirit he taught courtesy
to later generations. He deserves
memorial from Americans.
I'm that part of France, once Belgic
territory and the old Walloon land,
is a town on the Mas River called
Stenai. Here, in 1867, the year of
Alva's invasion, Leonard Perrin was
born In scholarship, his Latinity and
French were both unusually fine,> and
he became professor of the humanl-
ties at Paris. He was chosen by his
Bishop to translate into Latin manu-
al on civility for the use OF the
students in the Jesuit College OF
La F1eche Perrin did so, adding
a chapter of his own on man
ners at table. This was printed
in sixteenmo, in 1917, and al
ter various enlarged editions, pla-
giarisms, and translations, in English
among others, the book was carried
to America by a French Reformed
pastor to Fredericksburg, Virginia.
This gentleman kept school where
instruction in politeness was part OF
the daily order of studies, and in
which were educated three boys who
became Presidents of the United
States.
After George Washington had been
made, by foolish biographers, sort of
American deity, it was long and cas-
lily imagined that, when a little boy,
he had been such an insufferable prig
as to be the original author Of those
very mature one hundred and ten
Rules of Civility,' the last one read
ing: Labor to keep alive in your
breast that little Spark of Celestial
Fire called Conscience Since the
manuscript of George Washington's
school copy-book, albeit we'll nibbled
by garret mice at Mount Vernon, has
been found, and the true history OF
the Rules of Civility recovered
ninety out of the one hundred and ten
rules being found in Father Perin's
manual,-we are all the more CRATE
full to the good Jesuit and the teach
er of that true gentleman, the real
Washington, so much more winsome
and inspiring than the creature OF
popular mythology"

Washington, Aug. 12.-Astronomers
