was concussion thruout Rome. In some
cases 1t was terrifying.
The telephone was resorted to by
great numbers Of people at the same
time to ascertain the safety of rela-
tives and friends and to learn the ex-
tent of the damage. The telephone girls
did their best to meet the emergency,
and system of gathering information
was inaugurated
Historic Buildings Damaged.
1t was learned early in the day that
among the buildings damaged was the
Palazzi Chigi. as well as the famous
column OF Marcus Aurelius.

Ottoman Army Advances In

Menace Russia
OBTAINS ACCESS TO
RUSSIAN BORDER
Capture Of City Opens Way to Advance
Against Unfortified Section Of czar's
Territory - Psrsians Not Prepared
For Attack and City Falls Without
sIoodshed, Apparently = Important
Strategic Move.

London, Jan. 13-ReuterS Teiegraph
Company received dispatch from lts
correspondent in PetrogrAd saying an
advance detachment of the Turkish
army has occupied the Persian city Of
Tabriz.
Tabriz is in northwestern Persia
and after Teheran is the largest city
in the country. 1t is 100 miles to the
east of the Turkish frontier.
Base For Future Operations.
The taking of Tabriz means that the
Turks, who undoubtedly had the back
ing of some Of the wild Turkish tribes
men in this locality, have secured
more or less important base for the
projected German Turkish attack upon
the Russian possessions in the province
of Edizan north of the Persian border
and south of Tiflis.
The occupation of Tabr!s, which 10
the capital of the province Of Aver
baijan, was rendered comparatively
easy by the Turks by the recent with
drawal of Russian forces to meet the
Ottoman advance farther west. Wheth-
er Tabriz was taken without bloodshed
is not yet known, but with the. absence
OF Russian troops 1t is not likely that
Persia was able to offer any serious
resistance.
Russ Border Undsfsndsd.
Russias most vulnerable point at
which the Turks are aiming lies along
the undefended Prussian from
tier to the north Of rabriz. There
never has been any necessity for pre-
pairing this portion Of the Russian
boundary against possible Persian at
tack. The opinion 10 held here that
Great Britain and Russia may offer
assistance to Persia In the defense Of
neutrality as the result Of Turkeys ad-
vance. When the Ottoman activities
in Persian territory first developed.
Persia not only announced her neu-
trality bu. asked the good offices Of
Great Britain to prevent violation Of
her neutrality. Little could be done
at the time. as the territory invaded
lay within the sphere OF Russian in
fiuence.
May Be Held as Club.
Even tho Turkey should fail to push
farther northward, she will have
gained basis of negotiations If she is
able to retain Tabriz. and will also
have obtained foothold in the terri
tory on the eastern bank OF Lake
Urumiah. which she has long coveted.
Turkish encroachments In the pro-
vince of Azerdaijam began in 1905.
with Russia weakened in the war with
Japan, and it has always been as
serted that Ottoman pressure on this
portion of Persia was backed by Ger
many, whose economic interests. 1t was
contended. demanded free navigation
Of Lake Urumiah.
telegram from Petrograd today
says that 1000 persons Of the province
of Azerbaijam are fleeing on foot to-
ward the Caucasian frontier before the
Turkish advance. Many of the fugi-
tives. it is said, are dying Of hunger
and cold.

New York. Jan. 1$.--J. F. Morgan &
Co. confirmed the dispatches from

"A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. MALACHI, BISHOP.

"Of all the miracles which st.
Malachi worked, he himself" says st.
Bernard, was the greatest: so com
plete. was his victory over self, SO
active his charity for Christ's Mysti-
cal Body, whether in purgatory or
militant on earth. During his0 child
hood he would often separate himself
from his companions to converse in
prayer with God. AT the age of TWEEN
ty-fve he was ordained priest, and
set himself to revive, as far as he was
able, the ecclesiastical discipline,
which had fallen somewhat into de-
cay. His devotion and zeal led to his
being consecrated Bishop of Connor,
and shortly afterwards made Arch
bishop of his native city Armagh.
This see having by a long-standing
abuse being held as an heirloom, in
the family, it required on the part of
the Saint no little tact and firmness
to aliay the dissensions caused by his
election No sooner had he done so
than he returned in all humility to his
former see of Connor, not to rest, in
deed, but to do more for God. He
twice made a pilgrimage to Rome to
consult Christ's Vicar, the first time
returning as Papal Legate, amid the
joy of his people, with the pail for
Armagh; but the second time bound
for a happier home. He was taken
ill at Clairvaux. He died, aged fifty
four, where he fain would have lived,
in st. Bernard's monastery, Novem-
Der End, 114S, a fitting birthday for
eternity for one who in life had ever
been so tender a lover of the Church
suffering.
One day while st. Malachi was
burying the dead, he was laughed at
by his sister, but her words had no
other effect than to give him pain.
When she died he said many Masses
for her. Some time afterwards, in a
vision, he saw his sister, dressed in
mourning, standing in church yard,
and saying that she had not tasted
food for thirty days. Remembering
that it was just thirty days since he
last offered the Adorable Sacrifice for
her, he recommended doing so, and
was rewarded, after some time, by
other visions, in the last of which he
saw her within the church, clothed in
white, near the altar, and surrounded
by bright spirits
