MANY GREET YOUNG PRIEST.

great congregation, in which
we're many relatives and boyhood
associates, filled st. Johns church
at Clay and Walnut last Sunday
morning to greet the Rev. Father
John ID. Fallon and receive his
blessing when he sang his first mass.
The ceremony was brilliant and i'm
pressive, the young priest never
faltering throughout the trying or
deal. Within the sanctuary and as
sisting at the mass we're six priests,
all boys of st. Johns parish. Rev.
John ID. Kalaher, uncle of Father
Fallon, preached an eloquent and
powerful sermon, in which he dwelt
upon the responsibilities and dig
nifty of the priesthood and the happi-
ness 1t brought the father and
mother, the sister and brothers, to
see the son and brother on the altar
end receive from him the most
blessed sacrament. As yet it has
not been decided to what church
Father Fallon will be assigned. The
happy parents, Fergus and Catherine
Fallon, were the recipients of many
congratulations upon this mo-
mentous occasion.

this drill will have a large number
of contestants for the prizes from all

and also the twilight parade. Be-

Communicates, each carriage con-
tanning the ladies of the auxiliaries

Answer to Present Day Bigots
Who Malign Nuns and
Converts.
Old Soldiers Indignantly Repu-
diate Baseless Charges
Against Them.
BRAVED The DANGERS OF WAR

One of the most disreputable
features of the present campaign
of bigotry against Catholics is the
malicious attack on converts and
Sisters. Women, whose lives are
devoted to sacrifice from religious
motives, are made the objects of
most vicious calumnies Just in
how far they are a menace to Ameri-
can institutions, scurrilous sheets
have not as yet had much to say,
but conventual institutions have
been represented as prisons from
which the inmates can not escape.
That a growing number of ignorant
people is being affected by this cam
paign of slander is not surprising,
but on the other hand, non-Catholics
who have learned to respect the
Sisters have been impelled to rally
to their defense in the face of the
baseless insinuations against them.
Let the Menace continue to malign
the Sisters. Men like those of whom
the Cincinnati Enquirer gave an
account will Indignantly repudiate
these charges. Read the following;
"In a little cemetery in back of
the Sisters of Charity's Mother
House and Academy, on Mt St. Jo-
seph, several miles above Delhi, are
the graves of Sister. Anthony, the
famous war nurse, and thirteen of
her comrades, who braved the dan
gers of war to administer to the
sick and the dying during the strug-
gle between the North and South.
Until two years ago the Noyes-Mc-
Cook Post, G. A. r., made an an
nual pilgrimage to the spot to honor
the memory of the heroic women,
but when several of the old soldiers
died from the effects of the climb up
the long hill to the cemetery, il was
decided to shift the Office to younger
shoulders.
Yesterday the Sisters stationed
at the academy received great bou-
quets of roses and twenty-eight
small American flags from the mem
bers of the post, to be used in decor
ating the graves. Young women
students at the school marched to
the cemetery singing patriotic songs
scattering flowers over all the
mounds in the cemetery and placed
one of the flags at the head and the
foot of each of the nurses graves
while the Sisters conducted a briei
service of prayer.
"Five of the nurses who accom-
panied Sister Anthony when she
chartered a steamboat, half cen
tury ago, went down the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers TO the battle
fields, are living at the st. JOSEPH
Mother House, but each has passed
her ninetieth year, and they were
unable to be present to honor theil
departed comrades in the cemetery
They are Sister Theodocia, Sistel
Beatrice, Sister Ambrosia, Sistel
Benedicta and Sister Veronica"

BOOSTER BANQUET.

The boosters of the Columbia
Athletic Club will have a big ban
quet at the club house on East St.
Catherine street Monday night.
Every member has the privilege to
invite friend, which insures a rep
resentative gathering. A splendid
menu will be served and several
well known speakers, besides a num-
ber of cabaret artists, will be pres
ent to entertain the guests. This
club, composed of Catholic young
men, has been very successful, but
a small debt still remains on its
handsome property, and efforts are
being made to increase the men,
bership and burn the mortgage dur
ing the coming year. The club
house is thoroughly equipped, and
here the young men of that section
of the city have an ideal place to
spend their evenings and leisure
time.

land, and Established
Convent.
Sister Joseph Nugent Was First
to Be Professed in
America.
CONDUCT SPLENDIDINSTITUTION
BY James A. Rooney.

Though the first Sisters of Mercy
sent across the Atlantic from the
mother house in Dublin arrived in
New York in 1S46 there was another
band of the same order who pre-
ceded them, and the destination of
these other Sisters was st. Johns,
Newfoundland. They came at the
invitation of the Right Rev. DR..
Fleming, o. S. F., the Vicar Apos-
tolic, who had long designed a
foundation of the Sisters of Mercy.
With that in view he sent Miss Cree
don, native of his vicariate, to
Ireland, where she made her noviti-
ate under the foundress, the Rev.
Mother McCauIey. in preparation for
the work she was to take up in her
native land.
These founders of a new convent
in a new world we're Sisters M.
Ursula Frayne, Frances Creedon and
Rose Lynch. They sailed from Ire
land on board the ship Sir Walter
Scott in May, 1912, and arrived at
st. Johns on June 10, as noted in
our Catholic entomology. their fell
low passengers being five priests and
three candidates for the Sisters of
the Presentation who had been al
ready established in Newfoundland,
On their arrival they were well
coined at the Convent of the Pre-
sentation, being later housed in the
Bishops residence, where they re-
mained for six months until their
convent near the Cathedral was
ready. They opened their first
school on May the next year and
| IL prospered from the beginning, as
the population was mostly Catholic
The following year Mother Ursula
and Sister Rose were recalled to Ire
| land and the responsibilities of the
foundation rested on Mother Cree
don, shared by Sister Joseph Nugent
who made her VOWS March 20, 1913
being the first Sister of Mercy to be
professed in America. Besides be
ing an accomplished musician she
was a fine classical scholar and wei
founded in French and Italian litera
ture.
| In the conflagration that laid st
Johns in ashes, June 8, 1916, thu
Presentation Convent was destroyed
and the Sisters were given home II
the Convent of Mercy, where the!
were guests for the following fiv'
years. In 1857 the Sisters of Mere!

HONORs PoPE's RETURN.

Metropolitan press cablegrams
bring news that the Catholic
church celebrated with fervor the
centennial of the return to Rome of
Plus VII.--the Pope who suffered at
the hands of the great Napoleon al
most as much as did his predeces-
sor, Plus VI, who died in exile in
1900. Plus VII. had the satisfaction
of re-entering Rome in triumph. and
he, as we'll as Plus x, 100 years
after, regarded that event as a
triumph for the church. 1t is re-
called that when the exiled Pope
arrived in Rome over the Via
Flaminia he was met at the Piazza
del Popolo by a large concourse of
the faithful, among whom, on the
steps of the Church of Santa Maria,
was a nobleman, twenty-five years of
age, who knelt, making the sign OF
the cross. When the Pope impaired
the Papal benediction he showed
great emotion. the tears running
down his cheeks. The young man
was Count Giovanni Maria Mastai-
Ferretti, who forty-one years later
sat in the chair of Peter as Plus TX.
Count Ludovico Peeci, the eldest
nephew of Leo Kill, has recalled
another interesting incident: "In a
box erected for the occasion a pious
and enthusiastic noblewoman was
kneeling on the passage of Plus
VII, with two little boys, who by
stretching out their arms could
have touched the carriage of the
Pontiff with their fingers. The
woman was the Countess Anna
Pecci, the eldest of the boys. aged
eight. was Peppino. later Cardinal
Giovanni Pecci, and the younger,
aged five, called by the diminutive
Nino, or Gioacchino. sixty-four years
afterward became Leo XIII"

EUROPE MAY HAVE
 SEVERAL NEW REPUBLICS

Several new republics will start up from the ruins of Germany and of Austria if the threatening European war breaks out and gains much head way is the prediction ot Charles Petro- vitsky, an attorney of Bohemian ex- traction and a great student of Slavic history. However the governments may move they will find that the mass of the people is not behind them in a long and destructive war. The Ger mans are we'll educated and have sense, and so are most of the Slavs in Austria-Hungary, and they are all ready to throw off a monarchy on so good an excuse as that" he says.
 "The whole thing is simply a ques- tion of commercial supremacy, what. ever the pretext on which the war Is started. Russia is forever on the look out for seaport, and aiding Servia looks like good way to get one on the Mediterranean. Germany has the same ambition, always reaching out for a good seaport, of which she has none at present. And the fact that Germany is challenging England for the commercial supremacy of the world by move in that direction, af- ter expanding her trade and the num- Der of her merchant vessels at an in- creditable rate, is the thing that Is drawing England into the struggle against Germany and Austria.
