toward England and the favoritism In
the report from the London Morning
Post:
DR.. Walter Hines Page. American
ambassador to Great Britain, was one
of the principal speakers at the ban
quet in London on December 5th last,
by the committees of the British peace
century and the Anglo-American Ex-
position, and the London Morning Post
quotes the Ambassador in his speech
as saying:
I'm America they lacked the expert
ence of Englishmen in generous hospi-
tality; they lacked the fine arts that
Englishmen had in many Of the cour-
tesies Of life." but he assured them that
Americana were not lacking in that
sterling sentiment which meant what
1t said when it said that they were
kinsmen of the English people whom
they trusted Indefinitely"
In reference to the Panama Canal,
he said: "The American people felt
that the English.speaking men across
the Atlantic, when face to face with
the realities of life in that expansive
land soon learned better things than
the glories of war. With regard to
the Notifications of the Panama Canal
there was large body of opinion In
the United States that they ought to
trust to the same great principle there
also, and the reason that they did not
was the unspoken reason, and there
was therefore the greater qualification
in speaking on that occasion, namely,
that the men and nations who would
have to do with that waterway were
not all of our blood. That was the
only reason"

he was married to Miss Emily Swee-

For time Mr.. Craven was en-
ployed at the Minneapolis branch of
the American Type Founders COM
pany. In 1890 he founded the Nor
wood Times, which paper he con-
trolled and edited until his retirement,
about two years ago. During the
years that he edited the Times he
gained statewide renown.
The funeral occurred Wednesday
morning from the Catholic church in.
Norwood. Solemn requiem mass was
celebrated by Rev. Father Goevert,
assisted by Rev. Fathers Doyle Of
Green Isle, and Burns of Glencoe
Many beautiful floral tributes of the
esteem in which he was held covered

cELTIc-ITALIANS.

Many persons who have been fav-
ored with an audience with the Holy
Father have commented on his strong
Celtic characteristics. One CORE
spondent writing to a London paper
writes:
"The present Pope would lend SOL
emnity to any scene-a short, strongly
built old man with the head of an
Irish peasant, strong in simplicity, IL
Illuminated by goodness, full of sincerity
and sound judgment"
Plus x came from a section of Italy
which had been the home of many
Irish in centuries past and where the
term Irish Boy" was commonly used.
A correspondent of the New York
Sun traces an Irish lineage for the
late Cardinal Oregha in the follow
ing letter:
1T is we'll known that after the
treaty of Limerick in 1891 many Irish
people left their distressful country
rather than submit to the rule of the
Sassenach. Continental Europe has
many noble Irish families who were
a source of glory and credit to their
adopted countries.
During the past week there died
in Rome the last relic of the College
of Cardinals as it was under Plus TX,
his Eminence Cardinal Oregha. 1t
seems very likely that this prelate
could have traced his lineage back to
O'Reglia and then O'Reilly. Perhaps
the genealogy is already written out
somewhere awaiting publication. To
any one at all familiar with the Italian
pronunciation of 'gi' the similarity
between his Eminence's name and the
Milesian patronymic will seem very
close"

A Hidden Priest Scientist.

The list of the priest scientists from
Albertus Magnus and Roger Bacon to
Gregor Mendel and Eric Wasmann is a
long one, and has been repeatedly
drawn up. One name, however, has
persistently escaped the notice of the
compilers, that of Father Bresadola, of
Trent. 1t remained for Mr.. Lloyd, an
American Protestant, says the "Volks-
zeitung," OF Cologne, to draw the at
tention of the world to the inestimable
service rendered to botany by the hum
BILE Tyrolese parish priest.
Father Bresadola is undoubtedly one
of the greatest botanists of the twen-
tieth century, and deserves to be
called the founder of modern mycol-
ogy, or mushroom investigation, being
the connecting link between the older
mycologists of the school of Fries and
the moderns. 1t was Bresadola who
brought order into the chaos into
which mycology had sunk through the
superficiality of numerous investiga-
tors. 1t is to him, in the first place,
that the Berlin Theological Museum
owes the celebrity it so justly enjoys.
On competent authority, Bresadola
was the only critical mycologist of the
last decade. "In my opinion" says
Lloyd in his Synopsis of the Stipitate
olyporoids" Up. 97), "Bresadola is the
only man in Europe who made a seri-
GUS attempt to become acquainted
with the characteristics of the older
species in the various European muse
ums. Hence it is not surprising that
mycologists from all parts of the world
consult the priest scientist of Trent,
and that museums invite him to ar
range or rearrange their collections
Of mushrooms" Bresadola's Fungi
Tridentini" Tin two volumes), with its
splendid colored plates, is a standard
work still on the lines of which all
the more recent theological treatises
are modelled, and his collection of
mushrooms is, from the scientific point
of view, second to none in the world.
Father Bresadola is seventy years
old already, but as yet no honors or
distinctions, civil or academical, have
been conferred on him either by Ber-
lin, whose museum, as we have seen,
Is SO deeply indebted to him, or by
Austria, which might we'll be proud of
possessing such a man within its Dor
ders. Many have decked themselves
with feathers that were his; many also
who but for him would never have
been heard of have been promoted to
university professorships, whilst he,
the master of them all, has been con-
tent to remain unknown.

The new currency bill aside from
being an epoch making measure will
arouse some considerable local inter-
est in the twin cities because Of the
probable location of a national reserve
bank in this section.
The feature of the bill permitting
the national reserve board to gain the
same control over the currency of the
country that was formerly enjoyed by
New York City banks to take care of
the surplus should lessen the risks
from panics as it is possible in this
manner to contract or expand the cur.
rency as the need requires.

American citizens has taken occasion
to find fault with his own people and
praise Englishmen at the expense of

His attention was called to this blum

the fine arts of Englishmen in the
courtesies of life. Page may do very

when an ambassador continuously ex-
