NEW BLOCK
Mayor McGarry to Build Three-StOry
 Brick Building
Store on Ground Floor, Tenement Above

Store on Ground Floor, Tenement Above
 Mayor Joseph J. McGarry is to erect three-story block on his property at the corner of Grove and South Main streets. Plans are already in the hands of local contractors and bids are ex- pected next Monday. The building will be of brick and stucco and will front on Grove street covering an area of 43 by 2S feet.
 The ground floor of the building will be used by the mayor for his grocery store. The two upper stories will be used as a residence. On the second floor there will be four rooms and a bath, also a balcony, and on the third floor four chambers.
 The location is opposite the site pur- chased by the government for a new post office building. Whether the post office will ever be located there is not known as it has been announced that the matter has been held up "pending the investigation of matters pertaining to the site.n When Mayor McGarry first considered building il was thought that the new post office building would soon be located on the opposite corner but the possibility that, if it is ever erected, it will be erected on some other site, has not changed his deter imitation to build. If a satisfactory bid is submitted the work will be be- gun at once.

Frank Jarvis and Orlo C. Bosworth returned from fishing trip Monday night. They went deep sea fishing not far from Nahant where a whale was recently seen. "We would have liked to have hooked that whale, ' said NIT.

ROMAN NEWS so-CALLED.

In letter published in the
Washington Post" of February
Z, His Excellency the Apostolic
Delegate denies the truth of a
report cabled to that paper from
Rome to the effect that the Vati-
can budget for 1915 closed with
a deficit of nearly $5,000,000 and
that "the ready money in the
United States is being invested
in the highly profitable business
of specializing in war munitions
securities. - The items in ques-
ton were quoted from the "Agen-
zia Nazionale. F"
His Excellency says that the
only vestige of truth in the cable
despatch is the assertion that the
meagre income of the Vatican,
which comes mostly from the
charity and generosity Of the
Catholic people throughout the
world, has decreased on account
of the war and yet, continues His
EXcellency, Notwithstanding this
decrease Of revenue, the Pope has
managed to contribute, as report
ed by the newspapers, hundreds
of thousands Of Tires for the allie
Walton of people suffering from
the war in belligerent countries or
stricken with disaster in other
places.
This is only one. sample Of the
kind of news manufactured by
so-called Roman correspondents
for American newspapers, the
gullible readers Of which swallow
it with relish and accept it as COS
pei truth, no matter how pre-
posterous it may be. The avidity
with which the public seek news
Of Papal Rome is indicative Of
a great interest i'll the doings of
the Holy See; but some little
judgment should be exercised in
winnowing the true from the
false.

A MURPHY FOUNDATION.

=. y 4 -
A certain Murphy, to-wit, VIII
liam Stanislaus, said to be a
graduate of Harvard University,
of the class of 'S5, has bequeath-
ed $4,000 to his Alma Mater to
provide funds for the higher edu-
cation of students who bear his not
uncommon patronymic. 1t is
safe to say there will be no dearth
of applicants for his bounty.
However, he seems to have had
some doubt about this for he pro-
vided in his will that, in the
event of some national calamity
which would make the members
Of the Murphy tribe as rare as
snow balls at the equator, the Uni
versity authorities may advertise
in the Boston and New York
papers and bestow his largess on
the survivor, so that the race of
intellectual giants may not run
out.
1t would be interesting to know
il it ever occurred to this scion Of
an ancient and honorable lineage
to consider the claims which Cath
Ollie educational institutions might
possibly have on his bounty; and
whether his legacy might not be
better expended III imparting to
the rising generation of Murphys
better education than Harvard
gives--one in which culture and
refinement, based on moral prin-
ciples inculcated by religion,
would be developed side by side
with intelligence. lie this Murphy
were a Catholic-and what else
should he be, barring he were
not an anachorism--he would not
have to make a very extended
search for an educational institu-
ton under the auspices of the
Church, in which his. money
would produce much better speci-
mems of the race than will come
from the historic halls of Har-
ward.

PROPOSED IRISH CONVEN-
TION.

Several hundred Irish-Ameri-
cans have issued a call for a Ma
tional Convention OF the Irish
Race to be held in the Hotel
AstOr, New York, on March and
8. The purpose Of the convcn-
ton is to devise ways and means
Of furthering the best interests of
Ireland in order that at the
Congress of Nations to be held
at the end Of the war, the legiti-
mate claims of Ireland may re-
ceive the fullest measure Of con-
sideration, so that after her age
long suffering Ireland may again
take her place among the nations
Of the world. F."
1t is safe to say that there is
not in America a single individ-
ual with a drop of Irish blood in
his veins who is not III sympathy
with the people of Ireland in
their struggles towards the goal
OF a re-gained nationhood but it
is very questionable whether or
not Ireland has anything to gain
from the deliberations of con-
vention such as the one proposed.
1t is very difficult to see what good
can be expected from it, or what
effect it will have OH the future Of
Ireland.
Many Irishmen who yield to no
one in their love for the land of
their birth or of their ancestors
and i'll their desire to promote her
prosperity national aud indus
trial-are of the opinion that the
holding OF this convention is in
OPportune. In the United States
all citizens, irrespective of nation
allty, are striving to be good and
loyal Americans and to that end
they lay aside all manifestations
OF old-world affiliations that
would tend to separate them
from the rank and file of their
fellow citizens. Whatever tends
to retard the amalgamation of
the people of the United States
into homogeneous citizenship
tshould be discouraged. The COM
ing convention will emphasize an
American citizenship of Irish ex-
traction and by so doing will tend
to separate those who constitute
1t from the great body of Ameri.
cans who are not of Irish lineage.
Furthermore, the descendants
OF Irishmen III America are not
lrishmen in Ireland; and it should
be left to the latter to plan for
the future of their country and
foster its legitimate aspirations
IThey are better judges of what
is for Ireland S welfare than the

Some time ago the Most Rev
erend Archbishop Messmer of
Milwaukee forbade Catholic stu
dents to attend Beloit College,
Beloit, Wis, because Of the com
pulsory regulation regarding at
tendance at religious exercises.
The faculty refused to yield and
allow Catholic students to absent
themselves from these services.
The male portion of the non
Catholic student body has now
taken sides with Archbishop Mess
mer. The result of referendum
held some time ago shows that
they are in favor of making at
tendance at vesper service and Bi-
bic class voluntary. The goods
voted for a continuance of the
compulsory rule. The Catholic
students abstained from voting.
The matter has been brought to
the attention of the faculty and
the. decision is awaited with inter
est.

COMNENDS POLICE OFFICER
WORK" EXTOLLS
CAPTAIN HENRY OF NEW YORK
FOR INDUCING HIS MEN TO FOR.
SWEAR DRINK.

The Christian Work for January
publishes a picture of Captain Domin-
lex Henry, of Precinct thirty-eight,
New York Police Department, and
says:
The New York Evening World of
November Is, 1916, told how Captain
Dominick Henry had induced his
whole command of 118 men to for
swear alcoholic drinks. The story at
tracted the attention of many religious
and temperance men, some of whom
feel interested in having him better
known about for society's sake.
He was born in County Derry, Ire
land, forty-eight years ago. His faith
err, Daniel Henry, with his family,
came to the United States when
Dominick was twelve years of age.
He was educated in parish and public
night schools Of New York City. He
became patrolman, Dec. 8, 1890; SER
geant, 1900; captain, April, 1908, and
was put in command Of the Sixteenth
Precinct, Mercer street. In the five
years he was there he saved dozens
of men, turning them to brighter and
better lives. Many a derelict was
saved by him. III public speeches
Police Commissioner Baker and
Deputy Police Commissioner Hanson
exalted him. He was in command
of the Thirty-first Precinct one year,
and while there led 118 of his men
to a Holy Name service, and that day
joined the society. He points the way
upward in public service and in pri-
yate life.
For the sake of our city, State and
country, the more men like Captain
Henry we have the better for our
public life. OF athletic physique, a
magnificent record as an officer and
generous and sympathetic manhood
that leads him to reach down to help
the weak, he makes a fine figure in
the civic life of the metropolis.

PRAYERS FOR THE POPE.

The general intention for the
Emembers Of the League of the
Sacred Heart during the month Of
February is "Our Holy Father,
the Pope
The Pope is Christ s Vicar on
earth. On ST. Peter and his sue
Ecessors in the long and unbroken
line of the Supreme Pontificate,
our Lord conferred jurisdiction
over all the Bishops and all the
faithful for all time, promising
that He Himself would remain
with His Church unto the end of
days.
This supreme authority is vest
ed today in our Holy Father, Pope
Benedict XIV, and we are sure
that it was no mere formality
when His Holiness recommended
that during this month the pray
er of all the league members, and
through them, OF all the faithful,
should be offered especially for
himself. Even in peaceful days

EpreIne Pontiff is exceedingly

lseltes Christians, but the many
millions of heathens and others
who do not believe in Christ or

spectacle for the common Father
of the Faithful. What prudence
is demanded that in the midst OF
clamors from every side and the
bitter attacks of those who would
be glad to have the Papacy dis
credited, he may not, by word OF
act seem to depart from his at
titude of strictest neutrality. lie

been hampered in the exercise OF

The next three Sundays are
known as Septuagesima, Sexages-
ina and Quinquagesima. These
names are reminders of the time,
prior to the sixth century, when
Lent began at different times in
different countries. 1t opened
seventy, sixty, or fifty days before
Easter. However, this did not in
crease the number Of fast days.
Forty was the maximum then as
now. The fast was not continu-
GUS. Now the Lenten season is
the same everywhere but the old
names are retained as a reminder
OF an ancient custom.
