VATICAN FINANCES SOUND.

A proof of the soundness, if not of
the redundancy at the present time,
of the Vatican finances is seen in the
innumerable donations which the pope
is generously making to countries,
cities, towns and persons suffering
from the effects of the war and also
in the fact that, in order to avoid un-
employment, he has continued to carry
on the regular work in progress in the
Vatican and in other possessions of
the Holy See and has also started new
undertakings, such as the new mu-
scum in st. Peters. There is no foun-
dation for the report that, owing to
its impoverished treasury, the Holy
See Is about to raise world-loan. It's
regular income from invested funds
and from Peter Pence is, it is true,
much restricted owing to the war; but
several generous offerings, especially
from American Catholics, as we'll as
economies effected by the Holy Father,
have helped to supply the deficits.
The Sacred Congregation of the
Propaganda has subscribed million
francs from the investible fund to the
new Italian war loan.

NEW BISHOP OF BOISE is REV
DANIEL GORMAN OF DUBUQUE.

Dubuque, Iowa, Jan. 29.-Very Rev.
Daniel German, president of st. Jo-
seph's college, Dubuque, since 1904,
was notified today of his appointment
as Bishop Of Boise, Idaho, in success
sion to the late Bishop Glorieux The
information was contained in tele-
gram from Archbishop Alexander
Christie of Portland, Ore, announcing
the selection Of Monsignor German by
the Holy Father.
The new Bishop of Boise was born
in Iowa in 1861. He was educated at
st. Joseph's college, Dubuque, and at
st. Francis seminary, Milwaukee. He
received the degree of LII. D. from Mt.
st. Mary's college, Emmitsburg, Md,
in 1908.

in 1904 was elected president, which
position he now holds. He is lead

Last week the long-sufering town
of Padua had renewal Of air raids.
The world-famed Basilica of st. An

have escaped damage of any serious

MARY is HoNoRED BY MosLEMs.

We do not think of Our Lady pos
sessing shrines in Mussulman coun-
tries, yet we are told by a writer in
the ave Marie" that, during the Cru
sades, the sanctuaries of Tortosa and
Cardenay, near Damascus, dedicated to
her, were honored by Mohammedans,
who have always cherished great
veneration for the Mother of Christ
1t is said that blind Sultan of Damas-
Gus resorted to the shrine of Our Lady
of Sardenay to recover his sight, and
that on arising from his prayers be-
fore the shrine he saw the lamp burn
ing before her statue, and glorified God
for his miraculous cure. Ere depart
ing, the grateful client promised an
annual gift of fifty measures of oil for
keeping the lamp alight in the sanctu-
ary-a gift faithfully sent till the time
of Noured Din. The Church of Our
Lady of Lourdes at Constantinople is
also frequented by Moslems, among
whom many cures have been reported,
and the omen may be hailed as indeed
happy one for the future conquest of
the faith of those who, far away as
they are from the light, still own Mary,
as Mahomet himself proclaims in the
Koran, as free from all stain, and chos-
en- by God out of all the women of the
world.
When the White Fathers were being
turned out of Jerusalem, says FIR
FrOment in a recent number of "The
African Missions" it was proposed to
hide a statue of the Blessed Virgin
for fear of proclamation by the Turkish
authorities. But the Turkish officer
in charge hastened to set their minds
at rest:

Mother also; she belongs to us, too.

"WHEN JOHN MCCORMACK SINGS"
Tribute Of Ex-Governor GIynn Of New
York to Great Irish Tenor.

The following tribute to Mr.. Nc.
Cormack recently appeared in the
editorial columns of the Albany Times
Union, and was signed by Martin H.
Glynn ex-governor Of New York
State):
Before a record-breaking audience
in Harmanus Blocker Hall last night
John Mccormack sang with that in
imitable grace, that magnetic power
which made him the most popular
singer in the world. No man in the
sphere of vocal music ever rivaled
John Mccormack in the affections of
the American public. Two women
alone-Jenny Lind and Adelina Patti
compel him to share this enviable
need of honor.
CAS- one listens in rapture to the
silvery notes, the soul.inspiring tones
of John Mccormack, one is filled with
an understanding of why this is so.
1T is not music alone that makes
Mccormack great, though of music
he is the master and in sympathetic

that he is, it is the man, the heart,

the cooling caress of affection, the
fire Of valor and the warmth of sym
pathy behind the tones within his
voice, that makes John Mccormack
the uncrowned king of song.
"The stars come out at night, the
heavens wear a joy-bespangled robe,
the moon beams carry messages that
words cannot depict-when John Nc.
Cormack sings. .....

deprive of an invincible Joy of life

After benediction, at which the al
tar boys" again served, visit was
paid to the reading and smoking room.
The inmates were scattered in various
groups in animated discussion, says a
Pilot correspondent describing a New
Years visit to the Boston Old Folks
Home, conducted by the Little Sisters.
A composite report of the dialogue
would make odd reading.
One lively Methusaleh was pish-
pshawing present day sports. "Non-

work do more than that at country
crossroads. My own father was in
the habit Of jumping over his team Of
horses after his days plowing. And
football! What are you talking about,
man alive? Musha, God give you
sense. In my time there wor no goal
posts. One parish challenged another.
They kicked the ball from one parish
to the other. Maybe there wasn't
sport at the boundary. Football of
today! Faugh! tits only child's play

One little knot was swapping rem
iniscences, comparing the present,
rather unfavorably, with the past.
When it was suggested that the much.
lauded good old times" were not very
pleasant, one old gray-beard with a
distinctly Gaelic flavor in his speech
remarked, well, God be with the
good old times anyway, bad as they
wor."
