The Cardinal died peacefully and

prelate had passed away.
Cardinal Farley was taken i'll with
pneumonia about six weeks ago, while
at Green Acres, Mamaroneck, N. Y,
his summer home. His condition was
were issued twice daily by his attend
ing physicians.
Thought Crisis Passed
The crisis was believed to have been
passed several days ago, and it was
thought probable that the aged patient
could be brought to his home on Madi
son Avenue within few days. Then
he suddenly suffered relapse.
Since that time the Cardinals con-
diticn has slowly but stesdily grown
worse. With indomitable will he
fought off two severe sinking spells
when his friends believed hope was
gone. Each time, however, his consti
tuition showed the effects of the dis
ease, and while the attending ply
sicians held out hope to the very end
they realized that only a miracle could
save their patient.
The last sinking SPELL from which
the Cardinal failed to rally, seized him
minute or two after 9 o'clock. His
physicians, as we'll as Bishop Hayes,
Monsignor Carroll, Vicar General La
velle and Monsignor Mooney were at
his bedside.
End Was Peaceful
The end came SO peacefully and
quietly that none of those close by the
bed knew of it, save the physicians.
The church repre- esentatives were still
chanting prayers for the dying. when
the doctors stepped back and informed
them that the Cardinal had passed
away.
Last Sunday morning really saw the
beginning of the end. Shortly after

that as many members of his official
family as could be reached were hur-
riedly summoned. At that time Bishop
Hayes administered the sacrament of
extreme. junction.
Cardinal Farley realized then that
he was going to die. Though he could
scarcely make himself heard he whis-
pered to Bishop Hayes that he wished
he might return to his home here be-
fore the end. 1t was his one expressed
wish and seemingly carried his only
regret.
The body wilr be brought to the
archiepiscopa residence tomorrow
and will lie in state at the cathedral
until Tuesday, when funeral services
will be held. Burial will be in the ca
thedral vault.
Made Cardinal in 1911
John Murphy Farley was created and
proclaimed a Cardinal of the Roman
Catholic Church by the late Pope Plus
X on November 81, 1911. He was at
the time Archbishop of New York.
At the same time Archbishop O'Con-
nell, of Boston, was named q Cardinal,
and the entire Catholic world viewed
the two appointments rs a great trib-
ute to the Church in America, which
up TO that time had been represented
in the Sacred College by only one
Cardinal, the venerable Cardinal Glib
bons, of Baltimore.
The announcement of the elevation
Of Archbishop FARLEY provoked an al
most unprecedented amount of enthu-
siasm in this city, for during the years

community. When he sailed for Rome

the waterfront Papal flags were every
