UNIQUE CHINESE MEMORIAL TO
POPE.
Emblem From China Presented to tn.
Pope That Proves the Missionary
Efforts at an Early Date.

DR.. Fritz Holm, the Danish explor-
err and lecturer, who was decorated
last year with. the order of st. Syl-
vester by Pope Benedict for his dis
covery of the Chinese, HISTORIAN mon
ument, is back in New York from his
trip to the Vatican, where he pre-
sented to the Pope a two-ton mono
18th replica of the famous HISTORIAN
monument. 1t was a gift to the Pope
from Mrs. George Leary of New York,
to whom the Pope has sent an auto
graphed photograph in appreciation.
The monolith was placed in a promi-
nent position in the Museum of Chris
tian Antiquities in the hateran Palace.
DR.. Holm had two audiences with
the Pope, the second just before he
left for America.
He said his experiences in taking
the huge monument to Rome were
full of excitement and worry, partic-
ularly during the trip from Gibraltar
to Genoa. It required a lot of influ-
ence to obtain train to take the
monolith to Rome, but finally a spe-
cial train was loaned by the military
authorities. He found that all dur
ing the trip he was an object of spe-
cial attention because he had painted
his trunk with the Danish colors.
Eventually he learned that the colors
were the same as the Italian Grand
Cross Ribbon of the order of the
Crown.
The monument is a copy of one
erected at Cian-Fu, China, by Nesto
rians. It's inscriptions prove Chris
tianity had reached China at a very
early date. Mrs. Leary Of New York
purchased the copy from the Metro.
politan Museum last year for $4,000
for the purpose of having it present
ed to the Pope.

APRIL INAUGURATION.

Determined efforts will be made at
the extra session of Congress to bring
about an amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the United States, which will
change the date from March 4 to the
last Thursday in April.
This day is selected, it is pointed
out, because the weather bureau rec
Ords for many years show that this
day would not be dangerous; it was
the day on which George Washington
was first inaugurated, and the day
which would prevent conflict with
Sunday.
The reason why the change in the
constitution is necessary is that it ex-
tends the presidential term.

The IRISH IN
AMERICAS HISTORY

It has been claimed that this coun-
try was discovered by st. Brendan,
an Irish monk, eight or nine centuries
before Columbus. And we are told on
good authority that the ship that car
ried Columbus across the ocean had
an Irishman aboard. ...
There were two Irishmen on board
the Mayflower-William Mullins and
Christopher Martin.
Twenty years later five hundred or
more were forcibly transplanted. In
the days of Cromwell, when $50 was
paid for the head of patriotic Irish
man, more than hundred thousand
were driven out, and most of them
came to the American colonies. They
came with a grievance, and hence we
find the Irish everywhere on the firing
line and readiest of the ready in the
War for Independence.
"You lost America by the Irish!"
declared Lord Mountjoy in the British
Parliament.
The first blow-four months before
Lexington-was struck by John Sulli-
van, from the rugged hills of Desmond
in ancient Kerry. He captured the
British military stores in Portsmouth,
Gripping their operations.
First in the Navy.
The first British warship was cap
tured by O'Brien, a Corkonian. The
first official father of the American
navy was Jack Barry, who hailed from
gallant little Wexford.
The first American general to fall
upon the field of battle was Mont
gomery, an 1rishman.
It was the Irish Stark that drove the
British Tories and their Indian allies
from the field of Bennington.
The Irish generals, Ewing, Griffin,
Hand, Stark and Conway, with their
countrymen, helped to sweep Burgoyne
and his redcoats from the field Of
Saratoga.
It was two of these same generals
with two other Irish generals-Butler
and Wilson-that were with Washing
| ton when he crossed the Delaware, and
who, with him, surprised the British
at the Battle of Trenton.
They were also with him when Corn
wallis handed over his sword through
the Irish General O'dara, to the

REGRET FOR REPRESENTATIVE
CONRY'S DEATH,

There was great regret expressed
throughout the national capital over
the untimely death of Representative
Michael F.. Conry of New York, the
leader of the Democrats of his state
in the House and who was instrument
al in defeating the Presidents meas
ure for the immediate independence of
the Philippine Islands.
The bill had passed the Senate, with
the unqualified approval of the Pres
ident, and when it came up on the
floor of the House Mr.. Conry contend
ed that the Islands were not ready for
immediate independence. Although he
was ill and the Doctor told him he
should remain in bed, Mr.. Conry went
to Congress, took prominent part in
the debate, and stayed until after mid
night when the final ballot was cast.
He then collapsed, was carried home,
and died a week later in Providence
Hospital.
It's only just that the Catholic of
the country should know the sacrifice
made by Mr.. Conry for the defeat of
this bill, which undoubtedly would
have meant the confiscation of. church
property and the Mexicanization of the
Philippine Islands. This at least, was
the opinion of ex-President Taft, who
knows possibly better than any living
man, the condition of the islands.
Mr. Conry also gave his support and
help to the bill for the memorial in
Arlington to the nuns of the battle
field, and asked the secretary of war
to give his approval to the measure.
On last Sunday memorial service
was held in the Church of the Nativity,
when Rev. Louis ]. O'Hern, esp,
celebrated the mass and Rev. F. x.
Bischoff, the pastor, preached the SER
mon.'
In the opinion Of many Of the older
residents of Washington it will be
many a day before Mr.. Conry's like
in Congress is seen again.

Cali Ireland is one today. The
priests saw to that. They are heart
and soul with their boys, eager to
help, some times rashly defiant in
their eagerness. 1t is their message
that l bring. They cry, with us to
our people in America not to abandon
them now, with the fight started and
the climax yet to come.
"The fight was only started. The
men of Ireland-yes, and the women,
too-will keep the fight going, even
If they must go into the next fight
armed only with clubs. If it is clubs
only, they will fail. And that means
the extinction forever of the Irish
race. 1t is victory or death, now.
1T depends on our kin here in Amer

send us in to fight again without the
means to make that f1ght-our last
success"

summer heuuCtton.
The custom of reducing the price of
coal fifty cents per ton beginning April
II, is likely to be abandoned by an
thracite operators this year.
The winter prices are expected to
prevail through the summer. Opera
tors claim that the cost of production
and material has been increasing, and
the chances of the customary April
decrease are unfavorable. The opera
tors adopted a schedule a few years
ago, whereby they dropped the price
fifty cents per ton each April for the
purpose of encouraging summer buy
ing. The price went up again on a
sliding scale arrangement from Sep

When asked whether or not there
will be any advance in the fall prices,
providing the present cost is maintain
ed throughout the summer, operators
say they will have to wait until they
reach that bridge before crossing.
