The announcement that new Home

that the Irish problem soon will be

only of Great Britain and Ireland, but
OF the civilized world, says the Irish

on something like an equitable basis

have discovered. The Irish question
of today exists because in the past

were sacrificed ruthlessly.
1t may be said, no doubt, that this is
ancient history now and it is useless
to recall it. We should be willing to
subscribe to this opinion if the effects
of the system of the Government were
not felt in Ireland even to this day.
The manner in which Irish indus
tries and commerce were destroyed
by English legislation is OH record.
BY acts of Parliament Ireland was
excluded from the Colonial trade.
Irish cattle were excluded from the
English market as "a common nui-
sance." The Irish were forbidden to
export woolen goods and lreland's cot
ton industry was ruined by an English
import duty of rs per cent. These
and other Irish industries were wiped
out by English legislation. Lord Duff
ferin, referring to the dire results Of
that legislation, said: "One by one
each of our nascent industries was
either strangled in it's birth, or handed
over gagged and bound to the jealous
custody of rival interests in England,

Fifty THOUSAND DOLLARS
HAS Been SUBSCRIBED
Toward Decorating and Finishing the Interior Of the Pro-
Cathedral Of St. mary--Passing Mention Of
the Old Immaculate Conception Parish,
the Church and Its Pastors

On November II, 1905, there was
published in The Irish Standard under
the head of Catholic Progress in
Minneapolis, the following article
concerning the Immaculate Concep-
tion Church and parish which we are
sure will prove of interest to our read
ers at this time:
"The Immaculate Conception was
the First Catholic church on the West
Side. Rev. james McGolrick, now
Bishop of Duluth, arrived in Mime
apolis in 1867, and began the work of
caring for the Catholics of Minneapolis
proper. He enlarged the school build
ing on Third avenue N. and Third
street and used it for church purposes
till the splendid edifice was ready
for occupancy. Bishop McGolrick
was young and filled with ardor for
the cause to which he had dedicated
his life. He began the erection of
the church which was destined to be-
come the center of Catholicity in Min
neapolis. The corner stone was laid
in 1871, and the Mother of God was
asked to stand sponsor for the church
and guide its communicates in the
path Of virtue. The Temple of God
rose stone by stone and at last Father
McGolrick had the happiness to read
Mass in the new church from which
he afterward was called to wear the
mitre. For twenty-five years Father
McGolrick toiled in his chosen field
of labor. He built new school build.
ing, organized societies, gathered the
old and young men about him, taught
them the virtues of self-denial and
made them better citizens of the com.
munity. When the Diocese of Duluth
was created Rev. James McGolrick
was appointed to rule over it and he
took up his work as Bishop of Duluth
as he took up his work as pastor OF
the Church of the Immaculate Con
ception in this city-with determine
tion to do his duty and guard the
faith Of those entrusted to his care
"Rev. ]. G. Byrne succeeded Bishop
McGolrick as pastor of the Immacu
late Conception. Father Byrne had
early learned the lesson of right liv
ing and his inclination for the priest
hood came from seeing the piety and
self-sacrifice of the modest priest who
had preceded him. Father Byrne was
pastor for two years. His admins
tration was notable for raising the
church debt. In this connection il

lation is 500 souls. The nearest rail-
road station is Cholet, close to the
border of Anjou, Poitou and Vendee.
A brunette, of medium height, with
face more pleasant than handsome,
the girl is true daughter Of that
old Vendee race so justly reputed for
its fierce energy, it's religious fervor,
its tenacious love of traditions.
She owes her fame partly to her
N1sf prophecies, which have proved
true, and partly to her religious ex-
altation, which she has materialized
in literary works worthy of q Saint
Therese; to her fervent patriotism
that has made her bold enough to ap-
proach statesmen and generals to
show them by what means they could
, save France.
In Catholic circles it is believed
; that Christ under the image of the
Sacred Heart has appeared and
spoken to her frequently in the little
church at Loublande. Claire's gift OF
prophecy seems to be unquestionable
J 1t is absolutely beyond doubt that
at the end of 1916, she announced
that members Of the government and
other powerful politicians were plot
ting against France, and that revolu
tionary acts and military seditions
would have to be punished soon.

Fifty thousand dollars was sub
scribed last Sunday by the Pensioners
toward fund to be used for decorat-
ing and finishing the interior of the
Pro-Cathedral of st. Mary. This sum
brought the total subscriptions dur
ing the last two weeks up to 100000.
The interior of the Pro Cathedral will
be completed at the close of the war
at an estimated expenditure of $780,
900. Announcement to this effect was
made Sunday, the fiftieth anniversary
of the founding of the parish.
While actual construction, except in
the case of the interior of two chap
els, will not be started until after the
war, plans will be made, material will
be cut and assembled at the place Of
production and everything will be
made ready to hasten the work as
soon as peace is declared.
The interior of the Pro- Cathedral
now exposes the brick in exterior
walls. The entire interior will be
lined with polished marble, or some
other polished stone, finally to be de-
termined in consultation with the
architects, it was announced Sunday
night by the pastor, Rev. E. Cullen.
Five chapels and the main sanctuary
are to be finished. Two of these chap.
els will be ready for use. by January
1, 1919, according to present plans.
Measurements will be taken and all
the material will be cut and polished
but because of transportation conges'
tion and the scarcity of skilled labor
it will not be sent here from the
quarries until after the war. Altar
furnishings, hangings and pipe organ
are all included in the proposed i'm
provements. The value of the Pro
Cathedral as it stands is estimated
to be $725,oO0.
Members of the church decided or
the course outlined during August
''We feel justified now in going ahead
with our plans," said Father Cullen
''It gives us great encouragement tt
know that the people are so willing as
they showed themselves to. be by theil
pledges"
Father James McGolrick, later
elevated to bishop, who died in Du
luth. January %, 1918, founded the
parish September 8, 1868. Just how
long it will take to complete the worl
in the main sanctuary after it is once
begun is not known, but the services
of the church during that time will be
held in the sub-auditorium.

This is the question which all

Who is she? Where is she to be

of her mission?
Her name is Claire Ferchaud and
she is twenty-five years old.
Like her great spiritual prototype,
she is no more than a young peasant
humble and obscure. But among the
people and clergy of the Catholic
church she has already commanded

High personages of state have
granted her audiences or have paid
personal visits to her home. She was
introduced to President Poincaire and
it is openly admitted that one of the

helped to bring about by her womanly

Claire Ferchaud is the daughter of
well-to-do peasants, whose family
have titled the ancestral homestead
for countless generations. Like the
Pucelle of Orleans, she was born in
a hilly, wooded country propitious to

brothers, two of them fighting for
their dear France, and two sisters,
one of whom is a nun at Nantes.

The enemies of the Church have
found it profitable to circulate a ru-
NOR that the Vatican is pro-German.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth, and yet it is most difficult to
refute such an insidious statement.
The position of the Vatican is a
most delicate one. The Vicar of
Christ is father to all peoples, ir-
respective of nationality, and, theoreti-
cally, the Vatican can neither be pro-
German nor pro-ally. Still, to refute
effectually the charge of pro-German-
ism, it is necessary to bring forth
facts proving the Vatican pro-ally.
