HEROIC NUN DEAD
WORKED WITH FLORENCE NIGHT.
INGALE IN THE cRIMEA.

From the Convent of the Faithful
Virgin, Central Hill, Norwood, Eng
land, Mother st. George, one OF
Florence Nightingale's nurses, who
died at the age of eighty-seven, was
buried on April 18. She was Miss
Jane Pursell, and when in 1854 Miss
Nightingale, the Lady of the Lamp
gathered together her band of thirty
seven nurses to attend the soldiers in
the Crimea she volunteered for serv-
ice, and was on duty there for many
months. She used to tell of the mes
sage received one Sunday evening at
the Norwood convent from DIR. Grant,
Bishop of Southwark, which ran: "I
must have five of the Sisters by seven
o'clock tomorrow morning at London
Bridge ready to start for Constan-
tinople,'' and how she and four other
Sisters started with Miss Nightingale
the next day for the Crimea.
For over fifty years afterwards she
was in charge of the Convent of
Mercy at Folkestone for the care of
orphans. She had great personal
charm, and to the last took great In
terest in all charitable work. When
she was over eighty she said 'T would
go again now If there were the same
need and I could be of use. felt a
great longing to go during the South
African War;"

A REMARKABLE INCIDENT
A FATHER AND HIS FIVE SONS
MEMBERS OF A RELIGIOUS Or
DER IN GLASGOW, SCOTLAND
THE FATHER DIED RECENTLY.

We read sometimes of father and
son, or of several brothers taking
part together as priests in the cele.
bration of the Divine Mysteries, says
the Catholic Record of London, Ont
But an incident of the kind which
took place in Scotland some years
ago, and of which we are reminded by
the death recently of the senior par.
ticipant, is probably unique-at least
in our age. The late Father Francis
Guppi of the Minor Observants, who
died the other day near Glasgow, be-
came a member of that Order upon
the death of his wife ten years ago.
He was at that time fifty years OF
age. His five sons all followed his
example, and by special dispensation
they were all permitted to reside in
the same monastery. So that on
great festivals this father with his
five sons could be seen in the sane
tuary at the same time, the father
sometimes, with two of the sons as
deacon and subdeacon respectively,
participating in the solemnization OF
High Mass. We are not aware of
any similar instance in ecclesiastical
annals. No doubt there were some
even more remarkable in the ages of
faith, but they do not lie upon the
surface of history.

THE NEW CATHEDRAL

of st. Anthony Hill, "bulked against
the sky" It's picturesque setting has
been enhanced by the removal of the
houses adjoining the rear of the edifice
to distance of about sixty feet. These
houses which will be used as resi-
dences for Bishop Lawler and the
Cathedral clergy, have been placed
upon new foundations and the space
between them and the new Cathedral
serves to set off the massive struc-
ture to great advantage. There is no
possibility that in the future the splen-
did view of the Cathedral from all
sides will be obstructed by the erec-
ton of buildings in close proximity
to it. 1t now stands out alone in
solemn grandeur towering above the
neighboring buildings and carrying it's
majestic dome and heaven-pointing
cross high above every other object
in the vicinity. In fact, it can be
seen to advantage from all the out
lying districts and it is the first OBJ
ject that meets the gaze of the travel
er as he draws near the city on
trolley, steam car or boat Those who
have not seen the Cathedral since it's
completion and since the recent i'm
provements have been made in it's
surroundings will be well repaid for
a visit.
The contract for the ceiling has
already been awarded and the work
of making the moulds has begun. The
ceiling will be of ornamental plaster
and the design is very artistic and
quite elaborate. The whole will be
in keeping with the architecture of
the building and the work will be
rushed to completion as speedily as
possible.

CHAPLAINs ASSIGNED
FATHER WARING SUCCEEDS
FATHER DORAN AT LEAVEN-
WORTH MILITARY PRISON.
FATHER ROCKFORD GOES TO
FORT SLOCUM, N. Y.

Owing to the departure of Rev. Mi
chael G. Doran, of the 10th Infantry
from the Military Prison at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas, to join his regi
ment in the Canal Zone, the
vacancy has been filled by the assign
ment of Rev. George J. Waring, 18th
Cavalry, who has been stationed at
Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia.
Father Waring is well known
throughout the United States. 1t was
at his suggestion, that a chaplain's
flag was adopted by the War Depart
ment, for use of field service, to en-
able officers and enlisted men to
locate readily the chaplain's tent dur
ing camp or extensive manoeuvres
This flag is of blue bunting, bearing
in the centre white Latin cross
Father Waring was born in England
and has been in the service nine
years, and all of that time with the
18th Cavalry.
Chaplain John E. Rockford has beer
assigned to duty at the recruit depot
at Fort Slocum, New York.
This station has been without a
regular chaplain, but Catholic priest
from New Rochelle has been looking
after the spiritual welfare of the Cath
olic enlisted men at the post.

MEMORIAL TO FATHER DAMIEN
STATUE ERECTED IN LOUVAIN
ON THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNI-
VERSARY OF THE HEROIC
PRIESTS DEATH.

The twenty-fifth anniversary of the
death of Father Damien, the Apostle
of the Lepers, occurred on April Is,
and it was celebrated at Tremeloo, a
little village of Brabant, near Louvain,
where he was born. 1t was also cele-
brated in Louvain itself, where a
magnificent statue by Belgian sculp-
tor has been erected to the memory of
the heroic priest. This statue repre-
sents Father Damien standing en-
bracing with one arm and partly
shielding with his cloak one of the
poor victims of the terrible disease.
Many floral tributes adorned the
plinth of the statue on the occasion.
1t is interesting to recall that
Father Damien went to Molokai quite
by chance, as it were. He was a
young priest, preparing to take his
degree at the University of Louvain,
when his brother, Father Pamphile,
who was leaving for the Sandwich
Islands, fell i'll, and the young Damien
instantly offered to take his brothers
place. Thus began the career of
heroic remuneration which so i'm
pressed the Protestant world that the
Prince of Wales led a collection for a
lasting memorial to Father Damien in
the Sandwich Islands.
