CHINESE GIRL SUPPLIES
SQUEAL FOR GERMAN PIG

1t happened in Washington before
the murder of the women and chill
dren of the Lusitania rent the mask
of the german beast.
Lady Tsen Mel, the only Chinese
star in vaudeville, who is now to be
see in the feature part of the Betz-
wood Film Company's production
"For the Freedom of the East re-
leased through Goodwin, was head
lined at Keith's Theatre. She was
concluding her versatile offering
with number introducing her re-
markable limitations of birds and
animals. AS the applause subsidized
the artistic announced that she would
be glad to give vocal imitation of
any bird or animal suggested by the
audience.
Won Bernstein and party of aides,
whose appearance indicated that
their dinner had not been limited to
solids, occupied a stage box. With
leer and unmistakahle gutteral ac-
cent one of the aides leaned for
ward and staring brutishly at the
dainty Chinese artistic said:
MAKE a noise like me-"
Lady Tsen Mel, born in China and
receiving her education from Amer.
lean tutors, had an early antipathy
for anything German. 1t was the
Kaiser who referred to China as the
Yellow Peril.
While the crowded house waited
in silence she made step toward
the box and holding the gaze Of the
leering aide, she said in a tone that
had ice in it:
Il said birds and animals. You
are decidedly not bird. You ash
for the sound of your cry. 1t is al
so your masters voice. Listen
Then Lady Tsen Mel, with
sweeping glance at the occupants O.
the box, gave with flawless voca
accuracy the grunt and terrific,
soueal of pig. See Lady Tsen Me

For American Catholics
CHURCH IN ROME
SOON TO BE OPENED.

After much consideration, news of
the foundation of church in Rome
for the use of American Catholics re-
siding in or coming to the Eternal
City is given to the public A COM
mittee of American priests has taken
the matter in hand, and the church
will be served by them. The news has
come as little surprise. In the days
of Plus x, the idea was preached,
and the Pope had actually received
with favor the project However, the
late Archbishop Kennedy, rector of
the American College, did not approve
of it's realization under the circum-
stances that then existed. He went
in person to His Holiness to oppose
it, and there the matter ended That
must be seven years ago, and moth
ing was heard of it until three months
ago.

REV. JOHN R. POWER
PASTOR AT PENNINGTON, MINI.
DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS,

Rev. John Robert Power, pastor at
Pennington, Mimi, died in st. JOS
eph's Hospital, ST. Paul, Saturday,
September 90. Father Power had
been i'll for more than a year, and
for the greater part of this time was
confined to st. Joseph's Hospital and
in the Sacred Heart Sanitarium, Mil
waukee.
Father Power was born in Halifax,
N. S., December 10, 1879. He made
his classical studies at st. Francis
Xavier College, Antagonist. He COM
pleted his philosophical course in the
same institution. His studies in the
ology were made in st. Paul seminary,
where he was ordained June TO- 1905,
by Most Reverend John Ireland. He
was then appointed assistant at St.
Marys Church, St. Paul, where he re-
NAMED until, August, 1907. During
the following year he was City Mis-
sionary of st. Paul, and was then ap-
pointed as pastor at Rush City, where
he remained until April, 1912. At that
time he was transferred to Farming
ton. Here he built the Church of st.
Michael which, for comeliness and
architecture, is one of the most beau
tiful for it's size in the diocese.
The body was taken to O'Halloran
and Murphy's Undertaking Parlors in
st. Paul, where it remained until Mon
day morning and was viewed by his
st. Paul friends. On Monday morning
the remains were taken to Farming
ton where funeral services were held
in the church which he built. The
body lay in state all day. At 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning the Office of the
Dead was chanted. A solemn High
Mass of Requiem was sung by
Rev., J. A. Byrnes; Rev. Peter
Meade was deacon and Rev. Oliver
Dolphin, subdeacon Rev. L. Carey
was master of ceremonies, and Rev
J. NJ. Reardon preached the sermon.
About eighty priests and nine Sisters
of st. Joseph attended the services.
Tuesday morning the body was
brought back to ST. Paul for burial in
CcIINdAy NSuSLcIy USSlu6 IudL Ol HIS
mother who died here ten years ago.
The remains were accompanied by a
large number of parishioners and Wis
iting priests. Father Power is sur
yived by his father, who still lives in
Halifax, his brother, Rev. Maurice
Power of Vancouver, B. c., and sis
ter, Mrs. Paul, who lives in Wiscon-
sin, and who was at his bedside when
he died.
Father Power left host of friends
among both clergy and laity. He was
intensely jealous in everything that
pertained to religion and to the
Church of God. His ability and tai
ents, set off by most genial dispo.
sition, made him one of the most
promising of the younger clergy in
this diocese.

Right Rev. NJ. C. Lenihan, Bishop of
Great Falls, Montana, left for the
southern part of his diocese, and will

ing places:
Reed Point, Mott, Hesper, Bridger,

churches in the northern part of the
diocese that are finished, but which he
will not dedicate until. he makes his
biennial visit next year.

WHY WERE RUSSIA'S SALOONS
REOPENED?

A Boston paper comments cynically
on recent report from Russia con-
corning the sacking of wine shops by
the mobs. 1t estimates that Russia's
much-proclaimed prohibition could not
have been very thorough or the wine
shops would not have been there.
But according to a report in the
Labor Press Agency (cited by the In
ternational Record, January, 1919,
British captain who was an eyewit-
ness of, the scenes attending Keren-
sky's overthrow sheds light on the
subject.
On the night in which Kerensky
was to have been aSsaSsinated, "sa-
looms for the sale Of vodka and other
prohibited drinks were mysteriously
opened, and the rumor soon spread
in the lower quarters of the city that
liquor could be had for the asking at
these saloons. The streets were even
full of drunken mob, who went about
pillaging and looting. Men and women
appearing at the houses visited were
shot down in cold blood"
The first revolutionists thoughtfully
placed guards over the wine cellars
and destroyed stores of vodka that
might have been broken into, and thus
avoided drunken mobs. There is no
record that the counter, revolutionists
took any such precautions but indica-
tions that an opposite course may have
been premeditated for a purpose.
The first Russian revolution, accom-
plished while the sale of liquor was
prohibited, was wonderfully success
full and orderly event. The second
revolution has been turned, by the
mysterious opening of the liquor
spigot, into bedlam and murder
GUS orgy. Obviously the only safe
disposal of liquor stores and wine and
beer cellars is to use all that cannot
be turned into commercial alcohol. to
flush the sewers.
Incidentally, it may be noted that
the press returns attribute the drunk
enness to the looting of wine cellars
which unquestionably did exist. In
response to the pleas of the wine in
terests of the districts given to wine
producing, the Government had al
lowed the production of wine to con-
tinue The wine which we hear
lauded as harmless and which was
saved at the behest of financial in
terests, thus contributed to the un-
doing of the Russian people.

MANY AND HOLY PRIESTS.

His Holiness, Pope Benedict XIV.
has recommended MANY and
Holy Priests" to the Apostleship
OF Prayer as the general inten-
ton for the month Of October. til
is a lamentable fact that, for
years, there have not been enough
priests to minister to the spiritual
needs of the faithful, even in
some Of the more populous parts
Of our own country. In many of
the sparsely settled districts a
month or more intervenes between
the visits of the missionary. The
people are virtually furnishing for
the want of priests to break unto
them the Bread Of Life. And Just
at the present time, when the war
brings the danger Of sudden death
near to hundreds of thousands of
the faithful, there is an extraor-
binary drain upon the supply Of
clergy to meet the imperative de-
mand Of camp and battlefront.
As a consequence, there is a gen
eral scarcity Of priests: and the
Fold of the Master suffers from
the lack Of shepherds.
The Head Shepherd Of Christen-
dom, solicitous for the safety and
the welfare of the focks, en-
trusted to his care, in all parts of
the world, appeals for concerted
prayers that the Lord may send
pastors to care for His sheep. Let
us, therefore, earnestly respond to
the Holy Fathers pleading. Let
us unite, heart and soul, in petit

The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1918-10-05

The diocese of st. Paul feels
keenly the loss Of its chief shep-
herd. To the world he was a
leader, to the nation a patriot;
but to priests and people here he
was a leader and a guide. The
sentiment heard frequently both
here and abroad is that we shall
not see his like again.
