All things are possible. Therefore
there may have been more entertaining
books Of personal observations and
gossip than this. But Il so, the pub
fishers must have failed TO send US

our somewhat protracted career we
have seen nothing better than Mr..
Blathwayt's book, and really not many

But he gives us many chapters OF
life, every one OF which is just one
good thing. one amusing thing, one en-

greatest excellence is the marvellous
versatility and adaptsbility of the
man. When in America he has Ameri-

Resignation Of Papal
Secretary Denied
Cardinal Gasparri Will Not Retire as
Papal Secretary Of State Cable
qram From Rome. s

Rome, August 24-The reports sent
out from this city to the effect that
Cardinal Gasparri, Papal Secretary OF
State, was about to resign that posi-
ton, are utterly untrue. They orig
mated with that anti Catholic sheet,
I'll Messagero," published here, which
also stated that the reason for the
resignation was a dispute between His
Eminence and Monsignor Tedeschini,
his under secretary"-a malicious in.
vention.
The health of Cardinal Gasparri has
undoubtedly suffered considerably
from continuous strain caused by his
thirteen years of unremitting labor on
the Codification of the Canon Law;
during three of which he has been per-
forming the added task imposed by his
duties as Papal Secretary of State;
and it will not be surprising if one OF
these days he asks the Holy Father
to relieve him Of that high office. But
unless his health breaks down en-
tirely it is unlikely that he will re
tire until after the war.

niberian Field Day
Scheduled for Sept. z
Every Effort Has Been Made to Make
the Day a Huge. Success.

Ramsey county Hibernians are all
aflutter over their success in arrang-
ing the sports for the Hibernian field
day, at st. Thomas college grounds,
which will be pulled off Sunday after
noon, September 2. An interesting
bill of contests, dancing, music and
games, classic tug-ofwar between
Hennepin and Ramsey county teams
has been arranged and everyone who
will participate in the contests is al
ready in tip-top shape for the battle
royal. There will be prizes galore,
for the merchants of Ramsey county
have put up some of the most valu-
able prizes ever given away in like
event.
Perhaps the most interesting con-
test that will be pulled off will be the
tug of war between Ramsey and Hen
nepin county. We know that Captain
Bevins is working his recruits to the
limit, and while we don't know who
will win the cup, we do know that
the Hennepin tugsters know, for their
smile OF confidence reveals their Sc
cret. OF course they may not reckon
the strength of their Ramsey county
brothers, who, it is whispered, have
worked hard and zealously to return
the trophy back to Ramsey, and will
demonstrate to the Hennepinites that
they are the boys who put the tug
into "war."
All in all, our Ramsey county broth
ers can indeed be proud of their ar
rangements, and it is hoped that their
efforts will be appreciated by the Hi
Ibernians of the Twin City and respond
to the day in large numbers.

the cry taken up last night by $4,000
Irish men and women at Brands Park.
The occasion was the forty-third an
nual picnic Of the United Irish So
cieties of Chicago.
A formal demand for an Irish repub-
lie was made in a set of resolutions
calling upon President Wilson, the
American army and the people of the
United States to recognize the rights
of the Irish to be an independent ma
ton.
Judge Thomas F. Scully, the chair
man of the meeting, said that from
his personal experiences on the exemp-
tion board, that there were no slackers
among the Irish in the country today.
In extolling the loyalty of the Irish
in the United States, Rec. Francis
X. McCabe, president of DePaul Uni
versity, said: 1.-THE Irish were never
aliens because they came here to be
American citizens, to live here, and,

K. of G. Ladies Red
Cross Association
A New Unit Contributed by Mime
apoIis to National
Project.

Minneapolis has contributed an
other energetic unit to the work OF
the Red Cross by the organization of
the Catholic ladies Of the city, which
was effected last Tuesday evening at
the rooms of the Knights of Colum-
bus, corner of Fifth avenue south and
Eighth street. All of the parishes of
the city were represented and the Of
ficers chosen are: Miss May Slavin,
chairman; Miss Jean Vincent, vice
chairman; Miss Name Murphy, secre-
tary; Miss Anna Irving, treasurer.
Several interesting short addresses
were made, but all seemed to be SO
thoroughly awake to the necessities
of the situation that there was but
little,:need of exhortation, mot words
but deeds" seemed to be the slogan
It was recognized, too, that the work
must be persistent and unfaltering
during the period of the war, and not
spasmodic or temporary effort. All
ladies are cordially invited to join the
organization, especially those girls
who are employed and have not as
yet had the opportunity to do thell
bit" ior the welfare of the soldiers
and sailors. Inquiries regarding the
work can be made of any of the mem
bers or officers.
On Wednesday evening, August 20
the association will give lawn so
cial on the X. of G. grounds, at which
a musical program will be given ant
refreshments served. Among the fea
lures of this occasion will be singing
by Mr.. Hal Griffee and Miss Josephine
Byrnes and musical medley by Mr
Leo Murphy. There will also be chor
us and ensemble singing. From thi
entertainment it is hoped to raise
fund adequate to provide materia
and equipments for the practical be
| ginning Of the work.
