THE NEW COLLEGE OF THE
oeLATE FATHERS.

The new College of the Oblate
Fathers is rapidly approaching COM
pletion, and will be ready for occu-
pancy the end Of September. 1t is
one of the most beautiful and artistic
buildings of those erected at the Uni.
versity. being built of Port Deposit
granite, three stories in height, with
a roomy basement. 1t occupies a com.
handing site at the entrance to the
University, while on one side rises
the white marble college of the Domin-
leans, and facing it is the Gibbons
Memorial Hall. The new House of
Studies will be opened in November.
The origin of the Oblate Congrega-
ton dates back to the 25th of jan
uary, 1916. It was founded at AK,
France, by pious and Jealous priest,
Charles Joseph Eugene de Mazenod,
afterwards Bishop OF Marseilles, with
the purpose Of establishing a society
OF missionaries Cat first called the
Oblates of st. Charles) to preach mis-.
sions to the poorest and most aban.
doned classes of rural France, then so
sadly lacking in faith and morals as
result of the devastating scourge OF
the Revolution. Ten years after, Pope
Leo XII solemnly approved the rules
and constitutions of the Congregation
and conferred upon it Motu propria
the glorious title of Missionary Oblates
of Mary Immaculate.
Today the Oblates are found in all
parts of the world. They have but one
aim-"to evangelize the poor" But
the means they have had to adopt
to accomplish their purpose have been
and are multiple-the care of parishes
OF shrines and pilgrimages, of semin
aries, of colleges and schools, of jails
prisons, reformatories, and above all
the preaching of the gospel in neglect
ed lands where the poor heather lies
lin the shadow and darkness OF
death" awaiting the missionary tc
bring him light and salvation.
The College of the Oblate Fathers
is another link in the great chain Of
buildings that will eventually form
the Catholic University of America.

Since the Gaelic Athletic Asso.

Since the Gaelic Athletic Asso-
citation issued its ultimatum to the
military authorities, Gaelic games
are carried on as usual, though
the police state they are "hotbeds
of Fenianism."
Outside Dublin, no recruiting
offices are open in the south or
west of Ireland, and the Union
Jack is never seen anywhere in
public.
Some traders who gave recep-
ton to the military during Easter
Week have been boycotted and
are under police protection.
In Cork and Wexford a number
OF police are in the hospital fol-
lowing the release of a man
named Foley who was interned
at Frongoch.
The Most Rev. DR.. O'Dwyer
has been presented with the free
dom Of most of the corporations
in the south and west of Ireland
and the Volunteers still drill in
spite of martial law.
The Parliamentary Party are
endeavoring to get martial law
withdrawn. They are also stated
to be working to secure general
amnesty for war prisoners, as this
might restore them to little fav-
or in the eyes of the public.
The new society, the Irish Ma.
ton League, is not likely to make
much progress south of the
Boync, as the people on the whole
prefer to depend on the methods
OF Easter Week.

son jeremiah, on going to her room to
call her, found her dead.
Friends were at once notified by
telephone and the news spread rapid
ly in Irish Nationalist circles. It was
a shock and surprise to everyone
who heard it, as all believed her to be
in perfect health and her daughters
who lived with her saw nothing to in
dictate that she was failing. Those
who met her at meetings wondered at
the clearness and power Of her voice.,
which was a marvel for woman in
her SEVENTEEN year, and her step was
as lively as that of a girl Of twenty.
But the Coroner's physician found that
her heart had been affected and that
she died of heart disease.
Mrs. O'Donovan Rosa, whose maid

1916. Her father was q successful
business man who could afford to give
his children good education, and all
of them received it. But, though all
were clever the future Mrs. O'Dono-
van Rosa was by long odds the
brightest of them all. She was edu.
Gated at the Sacred Heart Convent in
Roscrea, County Tipperary where she
received thorough training.
She early showed poetic talent and
before she was eighteen contributed
some very good verse to the Dublin

the most important business fac
tors OF the day. Hundreds of mil
lions are spent-and misspent-
every year by the business men OF
America to place their lines be-
fore the people of the country.
They have discovered that it pays
to advcrtisc--provided the adver-
Using is done judiciously. Adver-
Using, therefore, has become both
a business and an art says the In
tcrmountain.
Naturally the daily papers with
immense circulations are the best
general mediums for advertising.
The big advertiser, however, has
been overlooking, i'll our opinion,
a class of publications that rank
high for quality of circulation
the Catholic press.
Printers Ink, one OF the coun-
try's foremost magazines devoted
to the business and art of efficient
advertising, has the following to
say about advertising i'll such
publications as The 1ntermoun-
tain Catholic:
1T is worth while to give at
tcntion to the Catholic field in adj
vcrtising. About onc-sixth OF the
country's population is Catholic,
and the fact of the vast number
of institutions controlled by them
is interesting. The huge amount
OF purchasing done by their
churches, schools, colleges, aca-
denies and asylums and charit-
able institutions is simply formid-
able. In many cases every sub
scribcr of a church journal rep
rcscnts an unusual advertising
prospect. This may be partial
analysis Of the reason why adver-
tiscrs are discovering the peculiar
advertising value Of the good re-
ligious medium.
There can be no stronger
medium than the one which a
reader takes up with strong re-
ligious feeling, that gives every
word contained in it additional
force and conviction. The fact
women are the largest buyers,
and are also notably religious in
temperament, has considerable to
do with the excellent advertising
value of live and wcll-cditcd re-
ligious publication

INQUIRY OPENED IN
DEATH OF EDITORS

Dublin, Aug. 23.-The inquiry into
the shooting without trial of three men
during the rebellion in Ireland was
opened today in the four courts. The
cases are those of F. Sheehy Skeffing-
ton, Fred Mcintyre and Thomas Dick
son. The men were put to death at
the order of Capt. Bowen olthurst,
who was court-martialed and found
guilty, but insane.
The attorney-general for Ireland who
appeared, he explained, ito place the
material facts about which there is no
controversy, between the commission"
related incidents of the week of the
revolution and of the arrest of Skef.
fington. After his arrest Skefington,
the Encouragement stated, said he
was not Sim Feiner, but was in
sympathy with the organization. Later
that night he was taken out of the
guard room by Capt. Bowen olthurst,
who handed him over to Lieut.. Wilson
in the street, telling him that if any
other soldiers were fired upon by the
rebels, Lieut.. Wilson would shoot him.
The next morning, continued the
witness, Skeffington and his compan.
ions were taken from the guard room
by Capt. Bowen-C olthurst, who said:
Il am taking out these men to shoot
them, as 1t seems to me it is the
best thing to do"
The execution of the three men fol
lowed.
The encouragement added that the
men were entitled to fair trial which
they did not get, they being innocent
persons who took no part in the re
bellion.
Lieut.. Morris, placed on the witness
stand, said he arrested Skeffington
who was followed by an excited
crowd as precautionary measure.
Lieut.. Leslie Wilson, who was in
charge of one of the barracks near
Portobello bridge, said that Skefing
ton when he was brought out of the
barracks on the night before the ex
ecution, had his hands tied behind his
back and that Capt. Bowen.C olthurst
fired several shots into the air. The
same witness testified that boy
named Corde had been shot by Capt
Bowen.Colthurst. The boy, who was
suspected of sneaking around the bar
racks, gave the captain an insolent
answer and then ran away. Capt
Bowen-Colthurst raised his rife, in
tending to hit the boy in the leg, add
ed the witness, but the shot was in
accurate and the boy was struck in the
abdomen.

A NUN IN HEART.

Years and years ago, a little
girl was born on the rim of the
great American Desert. Her
home was on the prairies. Twen-
ty miles away was the nearest
neighbor and underfoot, overhead
and all about were the big, wild
and mighty processes of nature.
The great empty spaces formed a
sanctuary where the girl grew
spiritually clean and fine, her re-
ligious nature hearing Gods word
in the great equinoxcs and seeing
His consuming powers i'll the
beauty and the terror OF the alter
nate time of harvest and time of
storm. 1t was then, these years
ago, that a stranger and discover
er of hidden thoughts said OF her
"She is at heart num-" This girl
was not an educated one in the
sense of bookish notes or nimble
fingered musical acrobatics, but
her hands clasped to her breast
all the sorrow and JOY that long
living with the great nature of
wood and wind gives, and by in
heritance her views were rich
with some of the stauuchcst
blood Of France. This girl
married a French pioneer,
by name Gosselin, and the
great wild prairies swallowed
them for years. Years, these, of
silent toll and the birth OF many
children, sturdy boys and fine
delicate featured girls who, feel
ing the early religious trend of
their mother and also the oppor-
tunity, became religious. The
sons are known wherever bust
ness ability is kecncst and most
successful. Thus, we'll on in the
sixties when the husband has
gone to receive his reward of the
faithful servant, begins the life
dreamed of, wished for all the
years ago for the spiritual girl.
Her daughter, the mother of an
Order noted for its energy and ac-
complishment, stood by to see her
mother receive the habit of the
Sisters of St. Joseph on the 22nd
of August, when Madame Apo
line Gosselin, true and loving
mother of an earnest and SUCCESS
full family, laid away all outward
emblems of the world and put on
garments symbolic of the soul of
the little girl of years long passed.
The ceremony that attended her
profession made at Nazareth
Academy. La Grange, Illinois,
was beautiful and impressive. and

wished for cup of joy, Archbishop

With the coming of another presi-

of the colleges where the men have
been educated, who have filled the
highest Office in the gift of the nation,
and while nineteen of our twenty -seven
presidents have been college men, only
sixteen were graduated. Washington
and Lincoln, the most famous of all
our chief executives, did not have ad-
vantages of higher culture, and Nc

our presidents, spent but about one
year at Allegheny College, Meadyille,

sixteen college graduates John
Adams, Madison, John Quincy Adams,
w. H. Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Pierce,
Buchanan, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Ar
thur, Benjamin Harrison, Roosevelt,
Taft and Wilson.
Madison was said to be one of the
most scholarly of our presidents. He
had the advantage of wealth and so
cial position, and came forth from
Princeton zone of the best scholars
of his time" Taft was the first Yale
man to reach the presidency.
Wilson has probably had the most
extensive and varied college expert
ence of any of our presidents. He
spent one year in Davidson College
a small North Carolina institution;
then graduated at Princeton and
studied law at the University of Vir
ginia. He also spent two years in
special study at Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, Baltimore. Then he has
taught in three institutions, Bryr
Mawr, Wesleyan and Princeton. His
class in Princeton numbered 1872, and
he stood forty-first, being just within
the honor line.
