PRIEST DIES IN HOSPITAL
WHILE AWAITING SACRAMENT
Father Theodore George succumbs to
Heart Disease.

The Rev. Theodore George. a prominent
member of the Roman Catholic clergy In
Baltimore died suddenly at o'clock this
morning In ST. Agnes Hospital. while
seated in a chair awaiting the chaplain
who was TO administer 60 him Holy Conn
munion lie was found with his head
bent slightly forward reclining in peaceful
composurc by the chaplain who carried
the Blessed Sacrament.
Father George went to communion every
morning at the hospital, where he had
been patient for more than a month
suffering from heart disease and COM
plicaton of other troubles. He had just
been reading his breviary and the book
was found beside him. He had arisen
early as was his custom.
Father George was rector of St AL
phonsus Roman Catholic Church in Balt-
more, and funeral services will be con-
Quoted there next Saturday morning. He
was formerly assistant at the Roman
Catholic Church of st. Boniface, Diamond
street and Norris square, Philadelphia.
Father George was born in New York
in 1852 After several years spent IN
classical study at the Redemptorist Col
lege at Northeast, Pa, he entered the
Redemptorist Fathers House Of studies
in Leicester, Maryland. He was ordained
by Cardinal Gibbons in 1887. He was
then appointed professor of church his
tory and moral theology in the seminary
in Ilchester and some years later taught
philosophy.
Father George was very we'll known,
especially among the German Catholics
in this city. He was n man of large
physical proportions, being more than six
feet tall and weighing close to 800 pounds.
While stationed at st. Boniface's Church
here prior to May 1901, Father George
was especially interested in the young
men of the parish and he never tired
giving them good, sound advice. In Bal
timore he was one of the diocesan con-
suffers of Cardinal Gibbons and was held
in high esteem. Because of his illness
he spent several months in Atlantic City
last summer.

GREAT ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN.

prayer lists, 60OO window signs advertising
the evangelistic campaign and 1000 indi-

of the work accomplished by the local
committee since the opening of the offices
late in August.
The total expenses OF this branch of the

BIG CHOIR REHEARSES.
The big tabernacle rang with music last
night for the first time. One of the two
choirs of 1900 voices held its first rehear-
sal. The first hymn that was sung in
Billy Sundays great citadel was Nearer,
My God, to Thee" Many persons inter-
ested in the campaign were present to
hear it. The scene was impressive. 1t
thrilled those who anticipate 50 much
good from the revival.
AS they looked out from the choir loft
over the rows and rows of vacant seats in
tho brightly illuminated tabernacle, they
thought of the scene that would be pre-
sented when thousands of men and
women surged inside and filled every
bench and occupied all the standing room
They thought of the volume of music
that would rise among the rough beams
and pillars when the same hymns they
heard last night would ring forth from
tens of thousands of throats.
II. c. Lincoln led the singing, which
was accompanied by Mrs. Richard Mad
dock. organist of the Eleventh Baptist
Church. who presided at the plano, and
by f. Nevin West, the cornetist of the
Lemon Hill Association. Tonight the
other choir. also composed of 1900 per-
sons, will have its first rehearsal.

WASHINGTON SEEKS TACTFUL
REPLY TO GERMAN NOTE
Recognition of Belgium as Teuton
Territory to Be Avoided.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O-The State De-
partmont was feeling its way cautiously
today in preparing a reply to the Ger
man note concerning American Consuls in
Belgium. 1t was pointed out that the
position taken by this Government will
set precedent to be followed throughout
the war in determining the status of con-
sular representatives of neutral countries
in conquered territory.
IT was clear that the question of
recognition of Belgium as German terri
tory would be completely avoided in the
reply.
The State Department will suggest to
Germany that our Consuls be permitted
to remain until the territorial differences
are adjusted after the war. a.
Officials repeated today that the Ger
man note did not in any way affect the
present status of Minister Brand Whit
lock, at Brussels, whose diplomatic duties
have been largely suspended since the
Germans took the Belgian capital. Whit
lock is remaining in Brussels because he
finds he can make himself very useful in
relief work.
