MANY IMPROVEMENTS
In st. Anthony Parish During Past
Year-More to Follow.


During the year 1911 the first full
year of the pastorate of Rev. Patrick
Kenny, the old church of st. Anthony
of Padua on the East Side has been
greatly improved and the interior
view presents Il fine appearance. The
walls have been beautifully frescoed
and new stations of the cross costing
SIS each have been placed in position.
These stations have all been paid for
by societies and indidivual members
of the parish. A system of electric
lighting i~ being installed and will
soon be in operation. All these i'm
provements have been paid for through
the earnest efforts of Father Kenny's
devo.ed parishioners. During the
summer months quite a sum of money
was realized by series of lawn So
Gals in which young and old partici-
pated. The next big project contem-
plated is the erection of a modern
and up to-date school building for
the Sisters of ST. Joseph, large enough
to accommodate not only the lower
grades but the High school classes as
well. If the hopes of the projectors
ere realized the school building will
be completed by September 1st of the
present year.

WITH THE DEAD.
John Blake.

John Blake, for 43 years resident
of Minneapolis, a veteran of the Civil
war and member of Division No. 4,
A. o. H., died Tuesday at his home, SO
Royalston avenue, after a long illness.
The outbreak of war in 1861 necessi-
tated call to arms that the Union
might be saved and in response to
that call John Blake volunteered his
shire regiment and fought CALAMITY
until the close of hostilities, when he
was mustered out with the honors of
war. He came to this city in 1868
and began life as lumberman, which
occupation he followed many years.
He was also employed by the city as
cook at the workhouse. In 1888 he
was married at Lawrence, Mass, to
Miss M. E. Connolly, who, with a
daughter, Mollie M. Blake, survive
him.
His funeral took place Thursday

for the repose of his soul in the
Church of the Immaculate Conception

SEVENTY YEARS A PRIEST.

In an inconspicuous column in a
Canadian paper we notice this brief
item under the above caption.
"Pere Dandurand, o. M. l., the old
est priest in Canada, celebrated the
seventeen anniversary of his ordina-
zion recently. The venerable priest,
now in his ninety third year, is still
able to perform his duties as chaplain
at the Hospice Tache of ST. Bo2iface,
Manitoba. Pere Dandurand was born
at Laprairic, near Montreal, March %,
1919, and ordained by dispensation on
September -. 1S41."
This is surely a short account Of a
remarkable event. In all the millions
of priests that ever officiated at the
altar how few have there been who
have lived to see the SEVENTEEN ami
versary OF their ordination. Pope Leo
XIII saw twenty-five years of service
six years of service as a priest. Car
dinal Gibbons is one Of the Oldest
members of the Sacred College and
yet the SEVENTEEN anniversary Of his
ordination is twenty years away. Only
small percentage Of priests live to
celebrate their golden jubilee and but
meagre percentage of that percent
age ever reach period a decade be-
yond. The SEVENTEEN anniversary of
an ordination is truly an unusual an
niversary.
What a procession Pere Dandurand
has seen pass down the isle and into
the great unknown! How many a
flushed boy and girl he must have
seen scamper away in youth to Mobile
back in age! How many a life he has
looked upon in the bud, in the BIOS
som, and in decay! How often he
must have gazed into the appealing
eyes of a soul lowering on the brink
of eternity!
Pere Daudurands is career that
Is remarkable, a career that is almost
unique. The noble old soldier OF
Christ has stood on the battle line
while the line, with the exception OF
his lone figure, has been often re-
newed.

Parliament are Home Rulers. The
startling and nauseating thing about
it is that from Belfast the news should
come that the Orangemen are prepar-
ing counter demonstration which
will result in bloodshed. The reports
-four ded rumors. But when the gov.
ernment officials pass resolutions in
imical toward the Nationalist party it
is easy to soc how roWdyism should
take it as cue to license violence.
Whatever may be said about the
propriety of holding a Nationalist
meeting in Belfast, no point can be
advanced to show that the party is
violating any principle of justice. Ire
land is country in which the law
guarantees free speech. The Irish
party has the same right to hold a
meeting in Ulster that they have Ito
hold similar meeting in Leinster,
Munster or Connaught. If the people
of Belfast should resort to violence,
they will prove themselves not only
enemies of the government under
which they are living but eminently
untitled to take part in self-govern-
ment. They will not injure the cause
of Home Rule. They will only make
themselves ridiculous and hateful be-
fore the world.
There is not likely to be any con-
certed action taken to do physical
injury. But there is danger of out
bursts of violence between individuals
who may chance to brush up against
each other. The pity of it is that any
injury whatever should result from
what ought to be a peaceful, orderly
meeting.

BRANDING MARRIED MEN.

A priest of Aurora, Illinois, deplores
the way young people days
disregard conventionalities in making
acquaintance. Flirting, which he con-
siders almost natural habit, has be-
come so common that even married
people, men especially, indulge in it.
AS a remedy he suggests law which
would require every married man to
wear a plain gold ring as a woman
does to announce her engagement.
":rhe ring has always been the SYM
boi of fidelity" he says. TT has al
Ways been the adornment of the wife,
the nun, the bishop, and the king. 1t

meet the abuse? Like many other
Impractical laws it would soon be-
come dead letter. The ease with
watch it might be evaded would make
anything like strict enforcement i'm
possible. Besides, what of the firta-
1ion that goes on between men and

law would not strike at the heart of

only a guess at the contents of the

ULSTER COMEDY IN ONE ACT.

The tragic aspect of the Ulster
Comedy lies in the fact that it will
never get past the first act. 1t will be
a play without climax or rather
with an anti-climax. 1t is Il gener-
ally accepted fact, almost an axio-
matte truth, that the man who makes
the greatest buster does the least ac-
tual work. Viewed in this light the
pitifully poor imitation OF fight if
the gauntlet were thrown down to
them.
But the most absurd feature OF the
situation is the absolute lack of any
ground for making the threat. At the
present time Ulster has thirty-three
representatives in the Imperial Par
liament-.seventeen Unionists and six
teen Nationaists. And in the face OF
this Ulster is preparing to reject
Home Rule! Would it not be wise for
Ulster to first reject from her Parlia-
nlentary representation the men who
are the avoWed supporters of Home
Rule? With a majority of one in its
representation of thirty-three III the
Imperial Parliament Ulster is prepar-
ing to reject an act which will re-
quire for passage majority not only
of 1relands one hundred and three
tot h,,t rf I,n En.
lish Parliament with a membership
approximating six hundred. Is not
that the superlative degree of ridicu-
lousness?
Some time ago we reproduced q
speech by Mr.. Redmond in which he
summed up the figures OF the whole
situation in a brief paragraph as fol-
lows:
ULSTER returns thirty three mem
borough and twenty-seven county
members. or the six borough men,
bers, two are Nationalists-West Bel
fast and Newry-and four Unionists
Or the twenty seven county members
fourteen are Nationalist and thirteen
, Unionists. The total repres .ntatior
of Ulster Is, therefore, seventeen
Unionists and sixteen Nationalists
The Nationalist show majority OF
one in the counties. In the boroughs

In the face of these facts what bet.

will mean the ringing down of tn

THE BELFAST MEETING.

On February Mr.. Winston Church.
ill, Mr.. John Redmond and Mr.. Joseph
Devlin will address a Nationalist
meeting in Belfast. The purpose OF
the meeting is to explain in the heart
of the rebellious district the position
of the Nationalist party on Home
Rule. 1t has been deemed advisable
owing to the extremely distorted no
lions the Ulster Unionists have on
the Home Rule question.
Now there is nothing startling in
the news that the Nationalist leaders
should deliver Home Rule speeches in
a province. sixteen of whose thirty
three representatives in the Imperial
