AUSTRIAN EMPEROR CALLED BY DEATH

toria who reigned for sixty-eight
years.
When Francis Joseph ascended the
great upheaval in his heterogeneous
kingdom. The strong hand of Win
dischgraetz had crushed an uprising
in Bohemia. Northern Italy was in
arms against the government at vi
emma. Led by the fiery Kossuth, the
Hungarians were striking for free
dom. Fresh from victories over the
Italians by the hand of Radetzky,
Francis Joseph exchanged the posi-
ton of an officer for that of Emperor.
The hold on his people, which he
exerted from the beginning, was due
to the qualities of Cancellation, fair
ness and an appeal to loyalty and af-
fection. These qualities had asserted
themselves early when his uncle, EN-
peror Ferdinand, had abdicated, and
his father, the Archduke Franz, had
given up his right to the throne.
Francis Joseph proved that the Haps-
burgs were still a vigorous race.
Within year of his accession the
Hungarian uprising had been crushed,
and Lombardy had been recovered
from the King of Sardinia. During his
reign he participated in three wars
with Italy, one with Germany, one
with Hungary, two with France, and
the present great conflict with Russia.
His reign, however, was not sue
cession of triumphs. He saw seven
members of his immediate family car
ried off by sudden or violent deaths
In the war of 1850 with France and
Sardinia he was obliged to cede Lom-
hardy to Italy. Later he lost the
Duchy of Holste:n to Prussia, and the
Province of Venice to Italy. His
answer to the great liberal movement
of Europe was the Introduction and
development, in 1861, of Constitutions
alism in Austria-Hungary. The Hun
garians were appeased by federal
agreement between the two parts of
the dual monarchy. The many mixed
races constituting his kingdom were
treated with the most liberal recogni-
tion of national aspirations and Ian
guages that has ever been attempted
in such a conglomeration of peoples.
Francis Joseph was in all things
devout member of the Catholic
Church, and his reign furnishes an
example Of wisdom, fairness and sue
cessful governmep taat meE well
prove an example to all other rulers.

Mr. Heqnessey illustrated by his

He was punctiliously honorable,
chivalrous, earnest and sincere, gen.

He was an open-hearted, open-handed,
loving and loyal friend and a public
spirited citizen. His home life was
ideal He was splendidly Irish in his
strong Catholic faith, his intense loyal

generosity in answering all calls made
on him for the honor and glory of
God.
He devoted the greatest part OF
his life to the study of Church archi

she resided until her death. Her hus-
band, Dillon O'Brien was prominent
in the early history of the city and
of the northwest He took a great
interest in the work of Colonization
and helped to bring settlers to Grace
vile, Avoca and other localities in
teacher, lecturer, journalist and au-
thor, and took a deep interest in all
that made for the social and religious
welfare of his fellow citizens. In his
work he had the support and encour-
agement of his wife who was in many
ways remarkable woman. Together
they endorsed the hardships of pioneer
days and strove to make the best of
the meagre opportunities for advance
ment afforded the early settlers of the
State. Above all, they were devout
Catholics, who placed the Church and
her welfare above every other con-
sideration. Mr.. O'Brien died before
his wife by more than thirty years,
leaving to his family the heritage of
an honored name, and the priceless
treasure of a deep-rooted Catholic
faith. His children who occupy
prominent places in the professional
life of the city, attribute much of
their success to the inspiration of
their parents lives, to the example
and training given in the family cir

Mrs. O'Brien was a woman of
strong convictions and deep-rooted
piety, whose life was an open book
in which all might read the story of
her devotion to the Church and her
family. Her death removes another
pioneer from the rapidly diminishing
ranks of the early settlers and lessons

span of life measures two decades of
years beyond the allotted three score

VATICAN AND NEW POLISH KINGDOM
NO ACTION UNTIL AFTER THE
WAR.

The news of the establishment of
a revived Kingdom of Poland by
Emperor William of Germany and the
late Emperor Francis Joseph of Aus
tria has, of course, been officially COM
municated to the Holy See, and, it
is needless to say, it has caused graft
fication in the Vatican. Pope Bene-
dict, however, will take no action in
regard to this-or, in fact, in regard
to any other-territorial change un-
til after the close of the war.

GREAT AGE-HlS LIFE SHAD-
OWED BY soRRoWs-WoNDER-
Full DExTERiTY AS A RULER
WAS FOREMOST CATHOLIC soV-
EREIGN-FAIR TO THE CHURCH
AND PERSONALLY PIOUS.

On Tuesday, November 21, at nine
o'clock, Francis Joseph, Emperor of
Austria, King of Bohemia, and Apos-
tolic King of Hungary, died at Schoen-
brunn castle. He was eighty-seven
years of age. Had he lived until De-
cember 2, the venerable monarch
would have completed the sixty-eighth
year of his reign.
Immediately after his demise a
death mask was taken, preliminary
to removal of the body to the Hof-
burg. The heart will be sealed in a
silver cup. The body drawn by six
black horses was transferred from
Schoenbrunn palace to the Hofburg
in the dead of night, according to
custom. The body will be laid to rest
in the imperial vaults in the Capuchin
Church where are the tombs of his
predecessors. In spite of frequent
rumors as to the Emperor's precari-
Gus health, their prompt denial caused
the report of his death to come as a
great surprise. According to a Geneva
despatch the last Sacraments were
administered to Francis Joseph on No
vember 18. On the death of the En-
peror the Archduke Charles Francis
Joseph was proclaimed sovereign.
The Archduke was born OH August
II, 1887. His father was the Arch
duke Otto, a younger brother of Fran
els Ferdinand, who was assassinated
prior to the outbreak cf the present
war.
A Long Reign.
The late Emperor Francis Joseph
was born on August 18, 1880. Upon
the abdication of his uncle, Ferdinand
i, on December 2, 1848 Francis Joseph
ascended the throne. During this
reign of sixty-eight years, excepting
the first twenty, he was also Apostolic
King of Hungary. 1t is doubtful il
in all authentic history there has been
longer active reign. Tradition, in
deed, ascribes a longer period to a
certain Pharaoh; but recorded his
tory shows no. equal to that of Francis
Joseph A close rival was Queen Vic

THE MOST CATHOLIC IRISH
AMERICAN PLOT OF GROUND IN
THE UNITED STATES.

.. .. 81

In passing by old ST. Mary's Church,
Philadelphia, take off your hat and bow
your head in honor of your God, who
dwells within the Tabernacle. Then
pass through the little churchyard and
enter the most Catholic Irish-Ameri-
can historical plot of ground in the
United States-old st. Mary's grave
yard. From the inscriptions on the
tombstones of st. Mary's, could be
written almost a complete history of
the Revolutionary War. Beneath the
sod of ST. Mary's lies the dust of men,
who worked, fought and bled that the
United Colonies might be free.
In old st. Mary's lie the mortal re-
mains of Com. John Barry, the father
of the American navy. Beside him
lies his friend, Captain John Rossiter;
to the northward rest the bones of
Thomas FitzSimmons, signer of the
Constitution of the United States, an
officer in the Revolution, and a rep
resentative in Congress. Southwark
of Barry's grave are inferred the re-
mains of Geo. Meade, patriot. About
the center of old st. Mary's sleeps
Gen. Stephen Moylan, near him is the
grave of Anthony Micom, another Rev.
olutionary patriot. These few patriots
will suffice for the present.
John Barry.
John Barry was born in 1745, in the
townland of Barrysampson, County
Wexford, Ireland. Leaving his native
birthplace when but boy, he went to
SpanishtoWn, in the Island of Jamaica
and when about fifteen years of age
went to Philadelphia. At the age OF
twenty-one he was appointed captain

The statement made by the "Koel-

government is about to confiscate the
property of the Church in Rome in
order to raise money for the further
prosecution of the war against Aus
tria, is utterly devoid of foundation.
A large amount of new taxes have
recently been imposed on manufac-
turers who have been making exces-
sive profits out of army contracts and
on other members of the wealthy
classes; but religious property has
