GUS for long time and who is now
the Oldest living monarch in Europe.
His life has been saddened by a series
of tragedies which have occurred to
the Hapsburg family of which he is
the head. The death of his only
son, the Crown Prince Rudolf, in
1889, made Charles Louis, brother of
the Emperor, the real heir but he was
persuaded to renounce his right to the
succession in favor of his son, Francis
Ferdinand, who was born in 1863.
The murdered Archduke was a man
of strong character and marked
ability. For many years he has been
the chief adviser of the Emperor and
is believed to have been responsible
for the addition of the provinces of
Bosnia and Herzegovina to the Aus
trian Empire. Servia was incensed
at this move and it is thought that
his assassination was due to the in
tense national feeling cherished
against him by the Seryians. 1t is
difficult to say what effect the death
Of Archduke Ferdinand will have upon
the political situation in Europe. If,
as many believe, he was the power
behind the throne in the Austrian EN-
pire, there is danger that, on the death
of the Emperor Francis Joseph, an
attempt will be made to disrupt the
Empire and bring about crisis in
it's political history. Very little is
known of the new heir to the imperial
throne, the Archduke Charles Francis
Joseph, a nephew of the murdered
Archduke.
Archduke Ferdinand and his wife
were devout Catholics ever ready to
profess their faith openly and fearless
ly, and to give practical expression
to it. His untimely death is mourned
by all classes of people in the Empire
who honored him for his fidelity to
the religion of his ancestors and
loved him for his personal qualities.

DUBUQUE SUMMER SCHOOL
SIX WEEKS COURSE OF STUDY
FOR CATHOLIC TEAC n E r S
OPENS JULY 12-SAME AS THAT
GIVEN AT CATHOLIC UNIVER-
SITY, WASHINGTON.

Members of the various teaching
sisterhoods from the middle west are
already arriving in Dubuque to be in
readiness for the opening of the sum-
mer school at the Dubuque College.
From the number of reservations for
rooms already made at the college
and the various converts of the city
it is safe to assume that fully
three hundred teaching sisters will
attend, besides the large number en-
ployed in the Dubuque schools.
The opening of the school to lay
teachers has given added interest to
the summer session, and many who
would otherwise go elsewhere have
announced their intention of attending
the Dubuque extension of the Catholic
University of America.
The summer session of the Sisters
College has been organized to give
Catholic teachers an opportunity tc
profit by the facilities which are offer
ed by the Catholic University and tc
obtain under Catholic auspices what
ever may be helpful to them in theiI
work. The courses include both the
professional subjects which are oi
vital Importance to every teacher and
the academic subjects which are found
in the usual school curriculum. Each
subject is treated with view tc
content and the aim throughout is to
base educational theory and practice
on Catholic principles.
The school will open July IL and
close August 21. Lectures will begin
promptly at o'clock Monday, July Is

FATHER FABER'S ANNIVERSARY

In 1889 Faber was made a minister
of the Anglican Church, and he enter
ed upon the duties of his ministry with
much zeal and devotion. But SO
earnest, honest and intelligent a spirit
as his could not long rest satisfied
with the contradictions of Anglican
ism. He was always searching.
Travels in Catholic lands, too, i'm
pressed him deeply and influenced him
favorably. In May, 1843. he visited
Rome. The scenes and sights of
Rome, at that time the city of the
Pontiff-King, touched his heart and
helped to open his mind. He grew
more restive and his conscience i'll at
ease. 'It comes to this" he writes,
ito stay is ministry at present, and
| dare not go away He was
speaking of the Anglican Church. II
seem to grow more Roman daily" he
writes to Newman, whom he had
taken for a counselor and guide. This
was in the summer of 1874. In the
autumn of that year many of his
friends were received into the Cath
olic. Church, and among them New
man. Faber soon followed. On Sun.
day, Nov. is, 1845, he preached his
last sermon as rector of Elton, and
on the evening of the following day
he was received into the Church by
Bishop Waring, at Northampton. A
few of his late parishioners shared
this grace with him. In 1847 he was
ordained priest, and the following year
Joined the ioratory of st. Philip Neri,
of which DR.. Newman was the SUI
perior. The congregation increasing
rapidly, it was resolved to. form a
branch house in London. This was
done in 1849, Father Faber being
placed at its head and this position
he occupied till his death, which oc.

NUNS ON OCEAN LINERS
NORTH GERMAN LLOYD STEAM
SHIPS CARRY FRANCISCAN SIS
TIERS TO MINISTER TO PAssEN-
GERS.

White-garbed nuns, to look after the
welfare of women and children among
the immigrants on all steamships of
the North German Lloyd, is the latest
and probably the most novel and hu-
name feature ever introduced in ocean
travel.
The North German Lloyd has made
arrangements with the Motherhouse
of the Franciscan Nuns in Vienna to
supply each of it's steamships with two
members of the order, whose sole duty
it will be to minister to the wants
of the immigrant women and children.
AS an experiment, two members of the
order, Sisters Maris and Josepha, ar
rived in New York on the Barbarossa,
and returned to Europe on her when
she sailed on July 2. During the entire
trip the two Sisters remained in the
steerage with the immigrants, and
their services were SO greatly appre-
ciated that the North German Lloyd
Immediately made arrangements to
supply every steamer.
Sisters Maris and Josepha, both of
whom have worked among immigrants,
will be the deans of the service, and
every time they leave Bremen they
will be accompanied by third mem
ber of the order, to whom they will
give Instructions These third mem
bers in turn will instruct others, so
that within short time all the North
1oud or
migrants will be supplied with two
members of the order. The Mother
house in Vienna has agreed to furnish
as many of the Sisters as may be re-
quired.
During the trips across the ocean
the Sisters will be members of the
steamers official family. During the
steamers. stay in port they will be
cared for at the Motherhouse of the
Franciscans, 81 East One Hundred and
Twenty-Eight Street, New York Sim
liar arrangements have been made for
their care while ashore in Bremen.
What to do with little children in
the steerage when their parents are
suffering from sea-sickness has long
been a problem. Sometimes children,
too, become seasick. The doctors and
other members of the crew have tried
to look after the children, but their
many duties prevented them from Civ
ing much time to the little ones. In
future these Franciscan Sisters will
not only care for the children, but will
also minister to the mothers. A cor
ner of the steerage will be set apart
as a nursery where the Sisters will
take turns, day and night, in caring
for and amusing the children.
Last year the North German Lloyd
landed 164,536 steerage passengers in
this country Among them were thou
sands of women and children, and the
officials of the company were impress
ed by the helplessness of the latter
during the parents illness. The ex.
pertinent of the white Sisters" which
proved so successful, was then decided
upon.

Last month Oxford University, Eng
land, honored with appropriate cere-
mony the memory of one of her most
distinguished sons, a Franciscan
Friar, Roger Bacon, who in the thir-
teenth century, won for himself a
name in the fields of theology and
scholastic philosophy, almost equal to
that of ST. Thomas or Albertus Mag
nus, and closed his eventfdl career
by becoming 0ne OF the Famous pio-
neers of modern science.
One of the principal features of the
celebration was the unveiling of his
statue in the Natural History Museum
of the University. The artist, Mr.
Hope Pinker, represents the Fran.
cscan Friar in the habit of his
Order holding in his hands ma.
thematical sphere. The statue was
unveiled by Sir Archibald Geikie.

that it was a tardy reparation of a

mater.

CENTENARY OF. BIRTH OF AN
EMINENT CONVERT FROM AN
GLIcANlsM coMMEMoRATED
THIS WEEK.

Frederick William Faber, better
known as Father Faber, was one of
the best loved and more eminent of
that illustrious band of English con-
verts whom what is called the Oxford
movement helped to lead into the
Catholic Church. He was born June
20, 1914, at Yorkshire. His family
was of Huguenot origin. When still
a youth he entered Oxford, where a
distinguished himself and it was at
this university, which was founded by
Catholics, that Faber met the late
Cardinal Newman, at that time vicar
of St. Mary's and strong Anglican.
In 1888 began the Oxford movement
in the English Church and Faher,
young as he was, took an energetic
part in it. He had a strong touch of
Calvinism, inherited from his parents,
and fastened on him by his early
education. Whatever his bent and the
turn of the time, religion was always
uppermost in his thoughts. His let
ters, written in the honesty of his
heart, show him to have been an
earnest, searching and conscientious
young man, who was always seeking
for the right and always anxions to do
right. 1t is strange now to find the
Faber of that time writing of the
Newman of that time (1836): New
man is delivering lectures against the
Church of Rome. / have just come
from magnificent one on Peters pre-
rogative. He admits the text in its
full literal completeness, and shows
that it makes not one iota for the
jurisdiction of the Bishop Of Rome.

REATUs QUI INTELLECT.

Blessed is the man that understands
The needy and the poor,
Him God will save in evil days,
And give him life secure.
The Lord will make him blessed on

And save him from his foes,
And make his bed of sickness soft,
And help him in his woes.

And heal my sinful soul,
For have erred against Thy name,
And evil is my dole.
The enemy reviles and SCOTS,
But he has had his day,
When shalt Thou blot him. from the
earth,
And wipe his name away.
He came and stood beside my bed,
And spoke of evil things,
His heart was storing guilty thoughts
Going out he gave them wings.
In groups they whispered, planning
sin,
And tales that did me wrong,
The man of peace that ate my bread
Was with the lying throng.
Because of Thy good will the foe
Shall not rejoice DER me,
Blessed be the God of Israel,
Through all eternity.
