Dante Gabriel Rossetti
RECALLS A PICTURE OF
LAST MOMENTS OF FAMOUS
POET.

4 terribly significant passage, de-
scriptiye of the last hours of Dante
Gabriel Rossetti, is quoted by a CORE
spondent to the London Tablet. 1t is
taken from the "Autobiographica
Notes Of the Life Of William Bell
Scott" The full import OF the scene
it pictures will be ineligible to the
Catholic reader.
A new idea had taken possession of
his mind, which caused us painful
agitation. He wanted a priest to give
him abSOlutiOn for his sins.
At first no one took any notice of this
demand for a confessor. We thought
his mind wandering or that he was
dreaming. But on it's earnest repeti-
ton, with his eyes open, | for one put
him in mind of his not being a Papist,
and of his extreme agnosticism. Il
don't care about that" was his puz-
zling reply; Il can make nothing OF
Christianity, but [ only want con-
fessor to give me absolution for my
sins!' This was SO truly like man
living, or rather dying, in A. D. 1900,
that it was impossible to do anything
but smile. Yet he was serious and
went on: Il believe in a future life.
Have ] not had evidence of that
enough? Have | not heard and seen
those that died long years ago? What
] want now is absolution for my sins,
that's ALL" And very little, tool"
some outsider in the room whispered,
as a gloomy joke. None of us, the
deeply interested few who heard him,
could answer a word. Iii. 307-S.)
This the correspondent remarks,
has always seemed to me a terrible
passage" And well it might. Dante
Gabriel Rossetti, he adds, was assur-
edly never Catholic, although his
poem Ave shows his acquaintance
with Catholic teaching, and his first
picture, THE Girlhood OF Mary Vir-
gin" with the sonnet accompanying
it, "This is that blessed Mary, pre-
elect Gods Virgin" is entirely Catho-
lie in conception.

Navy has had only two other AID.
mirals-Farragu and Porter.
Likewise in the United States
Army, there is no officer either on
the retired or active list having the
rank of General, for this high rank
was last given to Sheridan, and was
conferred upon him on his death-bed.
He died on August 5, 1888, and the
rank of General passed with him.
AS to the duties recently performed
by Admiral Dewey-as president of
the General Board, which is composed
OF high ranking officers of our Navy,
and also as President of the Joint
Board, made UP of officers high in
rank of both, the Army and the Navy,
these duties will be assigned most
likely to the senior or ranking officer
of the Navy, and of the Army and
Navy respectively.
The grade of Admiral in the United
States Navy passed away on January
l6, and it may take another conflict,
or an Act Of Congress to revive it.

PRIEST AND DOG PARTED
A REMARKABLE INCIDENT OF
THE EUROPEAN WAR.

at st. Mary's Igloo. Ever at his side
as an inseparable companion was a
sturdy malamute, larger, stronger and
more attractive than most of the
others of his species,
Then came the call of war. The
priest, a French reserve, heard the
note Of the bugle, saw the bleeding

duty. He left his peaceful work of
saving men in the North to go where
men were being slain.
And the parting will long be remem.
bered by residents of the Northern
camp. Perhaps the tenderest farewell
the most fearful on the part of the
priest-soldier was to his big dog. The
dog seemed to understand.
Not long ago, Father Bernard, sol
dier1y in bearing, marked by the hard
campaigns he has undergone, vel
brave and fearless, was wandering

Hero, Priest and Martyr
HONOR TO BE PAID PRELATE
NOW DEAD NEARLY EIGHT
HUNDRED YEARS.

England soon will celebrate the
SO0th anniversary of the birth of
Thomas a Beckett, the most celebrat-
ed Catholic prelate in English an
nails The exact date of the commem-
grafton has not yet been decided. Au-
thorities differ as to the year in which
Beckett was born, some giving the date
as Dec. Il, ILL, others as Ills, and
still others as 1119. The consensus
of opinion now fayors the first named
date. The great Saxon hero, priest
and martyr was assassinated on Dec.
20, ITO.
1t is related that Gilbert, the father
of a Beckett, had in his youth accom-
panied a crusade to the Holy Land
While in Syria he was taken prisoner
by a Saracen of high rank, and con.
fined in the dungeon of castle. The
young Englishman's personal attrac
lions and miserable condition aroused
the pity of his captor's daughter, and

she soon became violently enamored Of
him, and visited him frequently in his
dungeon. The fair Mohammedan at
length contrived to effect his liberia
ton, first exacting promise from Gil.
bert that as soon as he had reached his
own land he should send for and marry
her.
Evidently there was not great deal
of chivalry or gratitude in the heart of
Gilbert a Beckett, for he permitted the
years to pass without even sending a
message to the lovelorn maiden who
was awaiting his coming. With love
and faith unbounded, the Saracen girl
at length decided to seek the distant
England, which was the home Of her
lover, and, after long wanderings and
many vicissitudes, she accomplished
that perilous enterprise.
Arrived in London, she set about the
difficult task of searching out her
lover and, fortune faVoring her, she
found him. He had not married, and
to his eternal credit he was willing
to reward the fair Syrians undoubt-
ing trust by taking her to his home
and heart Previous to the marriage
she renowned Mohammedanism, pro-
fessed her conversion to Christianity,
and was baptized iii st. Paul's Cathe-
dral, six bishops assisting at the cere-
mony. The only child of this marri-
age was Thomas a Beckett.

CLAIMS OF ROME
TRUE AND FALSE CATHoLlclTY.

According to the London Catholic
Times, the Protestant Bishop of Lon
don has been informing some MEM
bers of his flock that the great OBJ
stacle to "a reunited Catholic
Church is "the claims of one diocese
the Roman claim-to dominate
every diocese in the world The
Bishop ought to be aware that it is
in virtue of his position as Peters
successor that the Pope claims SUI
preme authority in the Catholic
Church. His Holiness presides over
the greatest Church in the world
the Catholic Church. 1t is not dis
united. 1t is those outside it, espe-
cially the members of the hundreds of
Protestant sects, including the Church
of England, who are disunited, and
are the insuperable obstacle to Chris
tan unity. They are not Catholics
and have not the shadow of title to
be so called.
Explaining why he belonged to the
Catholic Church, st. Augustine wrote:
1.-THE agreement of peoples and Of
nations keeps me; an authority begun
with miracles, nourished with hope,
increased with charity, strengthened
by antiquity keeps me; the succession
of priests, from the Chair itself of the
Apostle Peter-unto whom the Lord,
after His Resurrection committed His
sheep to be fed-down even to the
present bishop keeps me; finally the
name itself of the Catholic Church
keeps me-a name which, in the
midst of so many heresies, this
Church alone has, not without cause,
so held possession of, as that, though
all heretics would fain have them
selves called Catholics, yet to the en-
quiry of any stranger, where is the
assembly of the Catholic. Church
held?' no hereto would dare to point
out his own basilica or house," st.
Augustine knew the difference be-
tween true and false Catholicity and
had no liberation for mere pretence.

in France wrapped in thought.
Doubtless his mind pictured the quiet
days at st. Marys Igloo And per-
haps he was thinking of his dogs and
their stalwart malamute leader.
Suddenly he stopped before a dog
team which was dragging provisions
OF war to the front. A familiar bark
greeted him and vigorously wagging
tail expressed the joy of it's owner at
the recognition. And there, near the
fighting front of far-off France, a man
and a dog, once companions, met
again. Both were engaged in one aim,
that of defeating Frances enemies.
This is the story told in letter re-
ceived by T. NJ. Cloves, a Seattle res
ident, from Kenneth MARI, an old
Alaskan friend atsthe front. The writ
err is associated with the French avia-
ton corps. Himself former Alaskan,
Mari was struck by Father Bernards
experience.
According to the story written to
Seattle by Mari, Father Bernard, on
deciding to go to the front, gave his
dog team, in which was his leader and
companion, to a friend. His last
words to the new owner of the dog be-
sought tender care for the animal
But commercialism got the better Of
sentiment, and the dogs wonderful
physique brought a good price, SO he
was sent to Europe with hundreds of
others.

THE sHUBERT STOCK THEATER.

The audience is promised new
sensation in THE Big Idea" a com
edy by Clayton Hamilton and A. f.
Thomas, which the Shubert Stock Co.
will put on at the Shubert the week
of Feb. II, commencing with the Sun
day matinee. The curtain rises On
dark stage, out of the depths of which
rise two voices, one old, broken and
beseeching; the other young, disturb
ed, but hopeful. When the lights 90
on, the two are found to be James
Howard, president of the Mckinley
bank, and his son, Richard. The faith
er confesses to defalcation, and says
he must have $4,000 within four
days or go to prison, and the son sets
his mind to work at the problem of
raising the sum. He decides to kill
himself, so that his $4,000 life insur-
ance may cover the loss, but a college
girl who happens along just then TO
visit his sister, has another idea
"The Big Idea" She proposes to
write play based on the experience
the young man is going through at the
time, and sell it to some manager for
the amount required. From that point
the audience is let in on the process
OF writing the play, and in other
cities, where the comedy has been seen
the plan has proved both novel and
absorbing.

St. Catherine Of Siena
A FEMALE SAINT AND PUBLIC
AFFAIRS.

Today when women are endeavor-
public policy special interest attaches
to the tribute which has been paid
by his Holiness Benedict XIV, on the
occasion of the Dominican Cen
tenary, to a woman who played an
important part in the public affairs
of her time: ''As long as the memory
of Catherine of Siena remains in
benediction the singular union of the
Dominican Community with the Apos-
tolic See will appear in all it's splen-
dour." So it is. A striking figure
in the history Of the Friars Preachers
is st. Catherine of Siena, one OF the
Sisters of Penance of St. Dominic.
In the war which the united Guelphs
and Ghibellines made on Pope Greg
DRY XI she retained for the Pontiff
the cities of Arezzo, Lucca and Siena,
and afterwards went to see his Holi-
ness. When he was declared sue
cessor to st. Peter, the Holy See was
at Avignon. st. GATHERINGS biograph-
er tells how she induced him to go
to Rome. Holy Father" said she,
Il have come to remind you of the
secret vow you offered to God that
if it pleased Him to make you His
Vicar, you would remove the Holy
See again to near st. Peters tomb,
in the Eternal City," The Pontiff
gazed at her in amazement ON finding
that his vow had been revealed to
her. He blessed her and then re-
tired to prepare for the fulfilment OF
the secret promise.

ture under stimulus OF a high, strong
ideal Of what in it is of value for
greater development and better living.
Consequently, in tracing the history,
the three-fold purpose, and the &C
omplishments Of the Irish National
Leagues and the Irish Playwrights, he
emphasized especially the significance
of the influence of the movement The
heroic contribution of the school of
writer's who represent it, he said, is
the vital lesson which they have
taught to other nations; that the plain
homely facts of every day existence,
touched with the higher ideaiism OF
life, afford material for literature; and
that simplicity and naturalness in
stage representation of truly human
theme carry with them a compelling
charming. He characterized the work
of these writer's, Yeats, Synge and
Lady Gregory, showing by illustration
the qualities which distinguish each,
and offered interesting practical sus
gestions for combinations Of one-acS
plays for presentation.
