THE LATE EMPEROR s.
IS BURIED
FRANCIS JOSEPH is LAID TO REST.
IN VIENNA ON THANKS
GIVING DAY.

The funeral procession of Emperor
Francis Joseph left the Hofburg
chapel on Thursday afternoon, Novem-
Der 80, and traversed the streets of
Vienna by a circuitous route to st.
Stephens Cathedral. The hearse was
drawn by eight horses and surround
ed by an imperial bodyguard, lackeys
and pages bearing torches and cruel
fixes.
The route was lined with troops,
infantry and cavalry and tens of
thousands of spectators crowded the
pavements and the roofs and win
dows of houses. During the progress
of the cortege, Emperor Charles drove
direct to the Cathedral, where he
waited with the empress, the kings of
Bulgaria, Bavaria, SaXony and Wurt-
temberg and nearly a hundred other
members of the imperial family and
other royal houses.
Cardinal Piffl, Archbishop of Vienna,
offciated, assisted by four cardinals,
ten bishops and forty-eight priests.
At the conclusion of the funeral serv-
ice, Emperor Charles walked behind
the coffin to the Capuchin Church.
This is a small edifice, and only a
few of the privileged were able to
enter, the remainder standing outside
during the final ceremony of bearing
the coffin to the crypt.
The emperor, the grand master of
the court and two chamberlains fol-
lowed into the crypt and formally
transferred the body to the custody
of the Capuchin monks and the
golden key of the coffin to the senior
monk.
At the burial in the crypt of the
Capuchin Church, a historic ceremony
was carried out, which was anciently
designed to impress the monarch's
successor that in spite of all pomp a
sovereign is merely mortal The
funeral procession was halted at the
entrance to the vault by a challenge
from within: who is there?" The
reply: Ills Most Serene Majesty,
the Emperor Francis Joseph" The
challenger then replies: Il know him
not" Responding to a second chal-
lenge the announcement is made:
. "The Emperor of Austria and Apos-
toHc King of Hungary is outside .
Again the challenger answers: Il
know him not.' When, for the third
time, the voice within asks who de-
mands admission the master of cere-
-.
brother Francis Joseph The portals
then opened and the procession en-
tered.

Friday and this person finds hil1-
self iii the company of those of
other beliefs, his Faith is chal-
lenged, and he weakens in the
obedience which lie owes to the
Church: he eats meat, he smooths.
If superior intellect or ability
come within the range of his infu-
ence, he seeks to strike it down or
so to act as to draw attention to
himself or others, just so that
superiority may not be recogniz-
ed. He cannot brook excellence in
others, even in the same or nob-l
Ter cause with which he himself is
connected. His actions are all de-
structive: constructive principles
are foreign to his nature, because
by nature he is a smoother, and
smoothing generally is mildly de-
structive. Many a Catholic whose
faith is weak and whose actions
bring shame to the Church who
has produced martyrs in untold
numbers, would do we'll to exam
inc himself, and see if he is a
champion of the rights Of religion
and a practical exponent Of her
teachings; or whether he is just
an automaton, a hypocritical
smoother.

The building was very beautifully

was trimmed with wreaths of heather

A special feature of the occasion
was the service as ushers and attend

ONTARIO GOES "DRY."

Canada's prohibition movement has
with surprising rapidity carried On
tario into line with the prairie Pro-
vinces; and it is interesting to find
Toronto papers welcoming the Gov
eminent measure for putting an end
to the. sale of liquor. The city has
population of 100000. 1t seems safe
to forecast difficulty in enforcing the
law there, though it must be granted
that the inhabitants are homogeneous,
and that a five years campaign has
effectively aroused public sentiment.
When the Government measure was
introduced recently, the Opposition
stated that it had long been in full
sympathy with the bill, and that the
sooner it became law the better. It's
original sponsor recalled that when
four years ago he introduced the bill
it met with derision, whereas now
there was no quarter. in which there
was serious hostility. Hereafter it
can not be said, as it might have
been a short time ago, that the largest
"dry" city on the continent was made
SO unWillingly by q rural vote. But it
is to be pointed out that the bill is
in part war measure, and that a
referendum will be held on the uues-
ton some time after the soldiers re.
turn from the war.

NERVOUS PEOPLE.


Schofield says: Nervous people
are the salt of the earth, and the lead
ing men in every profession are drawn
from their ranks. They are men with
brains that thrill, that feel. that are
quick in action, firm, clear and of high
organization" 1t is just such individ.
uals who under strain of oxerwork,
insomnia, illness, or any kind of merry.
GUS strain, on being advised to take
a little liquor by some friend, or nos
sibly q physician, find that they feel
SO much better under its influence that
under similar circumstances they re-
peat the dose and gradually increase
its size until they become inebriafes.
There is an abundance of medical tes-
timony at the present time tending ia
prove that it is this class of individ.
uals who make up large percentage
of the army Of inebriates, and that in
ebriety is by no means confined to the
so-called perverts and degenerates as
has been so long taught by our pro-
fession.

gan Pope Benedict, on December 4,
held secret consistory without a
German or Austrian cardinal being
present About thirty members of the
sacred college gathered around the
pontiff, all of them belonging to ma
lions of the Entente Allies.
Pope Benedict appeared stronger
and more energetic than ever as he
delivered in Latin his allocution, in
which special emphasis was laid on
the passages concerning the war, the
deportation of Belgians and the bonn
bardment of undefended towns.
Afterwards he created ten new cardi-
nails, all of them belonging to En-
tente Allied countries.
The new cardinals are:
Monsignor La Fontaine, patriarch
Of Venice; Monsignor Donate Sbar.
retti, former apostolic delegate to
Canada, later Bishop of HAVANA and
recently Assessor of the Holy See;
Monsignor Debourg, Archbishop OF
Rennes; Monsignor Dubois, Archbish,
OPP of Rouen; Monsignor Vittorio

of Grenoble; Monsignor Marini, Sec.
rotary of the Holy Signature, and Mon
signor Giorgi, Secretary of the Coun-
Gil

Is IT,
The Catholics have done their
duty for the United States. In
the time of the KnQw-nothings we
stamped that evil out through our
service i'll the Civil war. There
were 81 per cent of the men in the
Union army Catholics. The A. p.
As were obliterated when Catho-
lies marched in greater numbers
than other denominations in a
fight against a Catholic nation

Americans who went down in the

PAULIST CHORISTERS
SING
TWO CONCERTS WERE GIVEN AT
AUDITORIUM UNDER STU
DENTS AUSPICES.

The famous Paulist Choristers OF
Chicago, on Thanksgiving Day gave
two concerts at the Auditorium, Min
neapolis, under the auspices of the
University Students Catholic associa-
tion. Rev. William ]. Finn, their
equally famous director, conducted.
Mary Anderson played the piano and
William Ripley Dorr the organ accom-
paniments.
The balance of the parts was
excellent and the tonal quality at all
times of crystalline purity. Each part
was perfect unit in rhythm and
tone color, the altos surprising all
the rest in this respect, while from
the viewpoint of instantaneous attack
the basses excelIed. In artistic phras-
ing as in shading of even the slight
nuance the singing was marvellous,
especially in mezzo and pianissimo
passages.
The program was strikingly modern
both in its sacred and secular parts.
Rev. Father Finn evidently stands in
close harmony with the noble work
done by Kurt SCHNEIDER and his Schola
Cantorum, for the majority of pro-
gram numbers we're by this gifted
composer and other talented Neo-
Russians, such as Archangelsky, Gret-
chahinov, Rachmaninov, Rimsky-Kor-
sakov, KastalSky, Zolatariev, SlonoV
and Tschaikovsky. The Oldest epoch
in church music represented was that
of the 16th1century through the beau
tiful ave Maris Stella" by Richard
Farrant, member of the Chapel Royal
of Edward VI. Among the most beau
tiful sacred songs was Rachmaninov's
Praise to the Lord From Heaven"

sung capella. Another gem, this
time from modern French church
music. was Dubois "Hodie Mecum

Our Holy Father has recon-
mended the Conversion of the Mo-
hammedans to the members of
the Aposteship Of Prayer for this
month.
The Mohammedans are follow
ers of the Arab, Mohammed, born
in Mecca about 500. He claimed
to have received revelations from
God. These so-called revelations,
together with later communica-
tions which the false prophet said
he had from the Angel Gabriel,
make up great part Of. the Koran,
the Book" a collection Of doe
trines, legends, laws and prayers.
The religion of Mohammed was
called Islam, meaning ''submis-
sion. It inculcates belief in one
God, Allah, and Mohammed, His
prophet, daily prayer, legal aims,
the fast Of the month of Ramadap
and the pilgrimage to Mecca once
in a lifetime.
+ Mohammedanism was. spread
by the sword. In less than a cen
tury after his death it had over
run Syria, Mesopotamia, Egypt,
North Africa and the south of
Spain. In the eighth and ninth
centuries Mohammedans conquer
ed Persia, Afghanistan and north
ern India and went eastward as
far as the Malay Islands, Borneo,
Java and Mindanao. In the thir-
teenth century the Arabians were
conquered by the Turks who be-
came Mohammedans in 1853.
The number of Mohammedans
is variously estimated at between
800 millions and Us millions. The
present wars i'll Europe have for
the first time in history witnessed
Mohammedans fighting with
Christians against other Moham-
medans and their Christian allies,
and it is possible that these con
ditions may result i'll a lessening
of their fanatical hatred for Chris
tianity and pave the way for their
conversion.

proposed a new league to bring
England and this country into
closer relations. He declares that
this league will not be tangling

smoothing, gives birth to new

Without entering into the mer-
it's of the league, we should like to
call attention to the mental atti-

smoothers. So long as men live in
civic groups there is bound to be
a difference Of view on many sub

of caliber and intelligence will be
found to hold different, even OPP

circumstances. of a manifold ma

vironment, mental habits, all go
towards forming a state of mind
that judges men and facts accord

Men may be straightforward and
honest, and yet differ violently on
matters of politics, religion, or
business. Yet these men are hon

The smoother is an animal OF a
widely different species. He seems
to belong to no particular genus,
but to exist as a separate and dis

it's place a wishbone: hence he sell
