The application by Mrs. Maria Bu-
cellato for writ of habeas corpus
for the release of her 2O-year-old
daughter, Angelina, from the convent
of the Sacred Heart, New York, where
she became a novice several months

The young woman appeared at the
hearing with two nuns and told her
mothers attorney that she had de-
cided she wanted to remain in the
convent. Jerome Licari, the attor-
ney, said he would recommend the
withdrawal of the writ for that rea-
son.
"Tell your client should think she

Will Coach Navy's Quint

Jim Collinower," one of the best
basketball players that ever wore
the Georgetown colors, will coach the
Naval Academy basketball team. He
was asked to take charge Of the Navy
quint this season, and on accepting,
went to Annapolis where he will be-
gin work with the squad at once.

Apropos of his selection for the
Navy quint, an old athlete remarked,
that it is most noticeable and worthy
of comment, that the best athletes
and athletic coaches in this country
today, are Catholic gentlemen, and

CONFINEMENT At ScHoFIELD
BARRACKS.

There is universal contentment
among the officers and enlisted men
at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. Let
ters from this far away United States
Army post state that the morality and
discipline among the men is all that
could be expected.
Last Thanksgiving Day was espe-
cially marked by beautiful service
which took place at the post. Father
1gnatius Fealy, the Catholic Chaplain,
celebrated the Mass, and Father James
A. Lenehan, Chaplain, 4th U. S. Cav
airy, now at Texas City, Tex, who
was on visit to the Garden OF
Flowers" preached an appropriate and
patriotic sermon. In the afternoon
athletic games were held and smok-
er was given ON the cavalry parade
grounds, where 3,OOu attended.
Chaplain Fealy is directly in charge
of the athletics and recreation for the
enlisted men, and much of the con-
tentment and discipline is due to his
work and supervision.
Before his appointment to the Army,
Father Fealy was an assistant at
Saint Joseph's Church, Washington.

SORRY FOR INTOLERANCE.

81 have high official authority for
saying that the ministers and mission
aries of the Roman Catholic church
are at this moment doing more good
for the cause of virtue and morality
throughout the whole continent of
America than those of any other re-
ligious denomination whatever. The
hierarchy of the Catholic church in
the United States seek not endow-
ment; they love their Independence;
they seek not power; they prize their
purity; they seek not sinecures; they
value their high prerogative of useful
ness. And thus as sanity men do they
pursue their steady way, void of Of
Tense before God and man, approved
on earth and registered in heaven.

THE CALENDAR YEAR.

The Julian year consisted of 1854
days and exceeded by II minutes 1896
seconds the solar year of 3G5 days,
S hours, 4S minutes, 46 seconds. In
consequence of this, the equinox in
the course Of few centuries fell
back considerably. In the time of
julius Caesar, 1t corresponded to
March Is, and by the sixteenth CEN
tury it had retrogaded to March II.
1t was at this time that physician
of Verona, named Ghiraldi, proposed
u plan for amending the calendar. He
died before he had opportunity to car
ry 1t forward, but his brother pre-
sented it to Pope Gregory KILL, who
assembled a number of learned men
to discuss it, adopted, and thus was
given to the world what has since
been known as the Grcgorian calen-
dar. In 1882, Gregory issued brief
abolishing the Julian calendar in all
Catholic countries, and Introducing
the reformed one.
The reform of the Gregorian or new
on the Julian or old consisted in drop
ping ten days after October a, 1882,
so that the 18th was reckoned imme.
liately after the 4th. Every one hun.

was leap year, was to be common

In this calendar year the length OF
the solar year is taken to be 36s
days, hours, 49 minutes and Il

and the true length is immaterial.

His Eminence that the hymn would
be cherished and popularized by Hi

ocean to ocean, in their official gath

poet and musician are added proofs
of his truly Celtic temperament
Characteristic of this, were his re-

records of Innisfail, too little is
known of the Ireland which was truly
the land of Saints and Scholars;
and even the story Of Pagan Ireland
Is one in which the worlds great

The Cardinal expressed the kindli-
est sentiments of pleasure in being
brought into official communication
with Hibernians, through the visit of
the National President, and extended
his best wishes for the success of the
coming 1916 convention in Boston and
for the peace, growth, and prosperity
Of the Order. In the kindliest manner,
His Eminence desired the National
President to commend, in his name,
the Ladies' Auxiliary for it's deter

Death Of Thos. L. Sheyin

Thomas l.. Shevlin, multi-million-
aire lumberman, noted athlete and
one of the most prominent and popu-
lar young business men of Minneapo-
lis, died at his home, 2205 Park Ave-,
Wednesday morning. Mr. Shevlin had
been Ill but four days, succumbing to
the ravages of pneumonia. The last
sacraments of the church were ad.
ministered to him by Rev. Thomas E.
Cullen, pastor of the Proc Cathedral
parish, early on Wednesday morning
shortly before Mr.. Shevlin died.
The deceased was born March 1,
1888, at Muskegon, Michigan. His
parents moved to Minneapolis short
ly afterward Mr.. Shevlin first came
into prominence during his career at
Yale, where he established a most en-.
viable record as an athlete. He was
given a place on the All-American
football teams of 1902, 1904 and 1905.
Mr.. Shevlin was married Feb. 1,
1909, to Miss Elizabeth B. Sherley,
the daughter of prominent Catholic
family of Louisville, KY. The cere.
mony was performed In the Cathedral
at Louisville by Rev. FIR. Williams.
Mr.. Shevln was the father of two
children, daughter aged five years,
and son eighteen months old.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shevlin have been
generous donors to all forms of Catho-
lie charity. The generosity of the
Shevlin family in the early history of
the Orphan Boys Home is specially
recalled, also their generous contri-
buttons to st. Stephens parish, in
which the Shevlin home is located.
The death of Mr.. Shevlin cast a
gloom over the city. His youth, his
vigor, his powers as an athlete, the
short duration of his illness, all COM
bined to give a lack of seriousness to
his illness, and make his death great
surprise. Sixty days previous to his
death he was declared to be perfect
insurance risk. His total insurance
amounted to $1,575, 900.
Funeral arrangements were made
for Friday morning, with private serv-
ices at the home In charge of Father
Gaughan. pastor Of st. Stephens
parish. lnterment will be made in the
family vault at Lakewood cemetery.

WHAT DID REDMOND SEE AT
THE FRONT?

(From ''The Butte Independent"
"Mr. John Redmond, accompanied
by his private secretary, left last eve
ming on his visit to the Irish soldiers
at the front" The Butler lndepend-
ent comments as follows:
This news item appeared in the
London correspondence of a Dublin
newspaper of recent date. Since then
the one-time leader of the Irish peo.
pie has presumably returned, and it
is also to be presumed that his expert
ences in the vicinity of the trenches
will be used to lure more young Irish
men to their doom. But what did
Mr.. Redmond really see? Did he see
the men of the Irish regiments hud-
died like swine in the damp and dis
NAL swamps which the British call
trenches? Did he visit the wounded
III the adjacent field hospitals and
see young and vigorous sons of
the old sod writhing in agony in their
cots, and did he visit the long line of
tortuous trenches in which others of
those whom he had lured to their un-
timely death sleep the sleep that
knows no waking?"
Amid these terrible scenes-these
awful and heart-rending monuments
of a blood-guilty nations lust of COM
mercial supremacy-did the feeling
not arise in Mr.. Redmond's breast
that he is, before God, and before
his country, responsible for the suf-
ferings of only too many of his young
and untutored countrymen there, and
for the premature death of many 9TH
ers who lie still in death nigh the
battlefields of Flanders? To his exhor-
tations and pleadings-to his personal
and political influence were due the
enlistment Of those young men and
for the consequences of that enlist
ment the moral responsibility rests
on Mr.. Redmond's shoulders, and
there is not a decent lrishman living
who would change places with him
today, If the change carried with 1t
the moral blood-guilt of the needless
suffering and causeless deaths of this
wretched campaign of England in the
heart of her traditional foe.

he claims that no sensible person can

Early Training Of Children
Rabbi H. H. Mayer in the Kansas
City (Mo) Journal.

City (Mo.) Journal.
The period of childhood in human
life is represented in memorial win.
dow in the church at Stratford. on.
Avon by a scene from the Bible show
ing Hannah bringing the lad Samuel
into the temple at Shiloh to minister
before the Lord. He was dedicated by
his mother to the service of God.
Childhood is the age of consecra-
tion and dedication. It is the period
of preparation for life's work and
duties. The child is the product of
heredity and environment. Neither
influence should be exaggerated. He
redity is predisposition, environment
is the factor that calls forth the latent
powers.
Each child learns it's first lessons
of life through correction and prac-
tical instruction. The second stage
of education is reached when the
child learns by imitation. 1t copies
from it's elders. Example is more
important than precept.
Children at the first stage of de-
velopment identify goodness with re-
ward, wickedness with punishment.
The abstract idea of good and bad
is inconceivable to them. They have
no virtues and no vices in the literal
sense of the word. Their blunders
are overcome by the three steps in
education-in the sequence of correc-
tion, imitation and reflection.
Religious education is fully as i'm
portant as mental and practical edu-
cation. It is mistake for parents to
say that they will omit training in
religion in earlier years and will leave
the selection of a religion to the
child when its mind has matured. No
person is a Judge of music, competent
to express all authoritative opinion,
until he has learned the principles by
thorough study of one or more musi.
cal instruments. In the same way
no person can choose between the
different denominations of religion un.
til he has been well grounded in the
principles of one particular religion.
