POPULAR ACTOR At
THE METROPOLITAN

The popular romatic actor, Fiske
O'Hara, comes to the Metropolitan
Theatre Aug. 25, in a new play called
Marry in Haste" It was written by
Anna Nichols, and is said to be the
best vehicle O'Hara has ever had. It
is romantic farce in three acts, and
an element of mystery adds to the en-.
joyment of the performance. OF course
Mr.. O'Hara sings, for his delightful
tenor voice has ever been one Of his
chief charms, and he has been pro-
vided with a number of charming mel.
odies. Manager Augustus Pitou has
surrounded his star with an excellent
supporting company, and scenic and
costume establishment which en-
hances the worth of the performance.

WHAT THE ROOM LACKED.

The decorator went to the house
and looked about her. The furniture
was all right. The colors chosen
were all right And yet something
was the matter with the place. She
did not feel as though tea there would
be cosy and interesting thing, de.
spite the charming owners.
Where" she inquired, where are
your bookshelves?"

"And where" continued the decora'
tor, where in the name of goodness
are your living things? Where are
your plants, where is the cat or the
dog? Don't you know that the things
that live most in your house are your
books? Why, they tell visitors at
once just who you are.
Somebody else may choose your
pictures, your hangings, your furni-
ture, or even your gowns, but you
yourself choose you books. You
choose your own plants, too, usually,
and the cat or the dog. They all talk
for you.'
And the books talk most of all.

STILL IN HARNESS,

Rev. Francis Raymond, who for 65
years labored as a priest in the New

eight Archbishops of New Orleans, has

IT'S AN ILL WIND.

One extremely good effect of these
stirring days is the death of some of
the rabid publications that have been
so numerous of late years. Financial
reasons and lack Of patronage are
given as the cause. A few days ago
three such publications in st. Louis
ceased to exist: The Rip-Saw, of late
known as the Social Builder; The
Paladfn, and The Melting Pot. Philip
Wagner, the publisher, declares the
suspension was voluntarily, but their
death will give general satisfaction.
Some of these sheets had a peculiar
and diabolical antipathy to everything
Catholic.

ADMIRAL BENSON

Admiral Benson-to whom has been
accorded the highest rank held by
any officer Of the American Navy since
the death of Admiral Dewey-was
born in 1866 on farm in Bibb Coun-
ty, Georgia. Although his parents
were cultured people-his mother was
among the first women of her state
to receive a diploma from a woman's
college and his father was a graduate
Of Randolph Macon College-the cir
cumstances of the family were such
that the ambitious boy enjoyed few
educational advantages, writes John
Nicholson, in The Rosary Magazine.
Nothing daunted, however, he sue.
ceeded by sheer industry and perse-
verence in preparing himself to enter
the Naval Academy at Annapolis and
was admitted at the age of eighteen.
Then, as now, the course was a diff
cult one, but with the tenacity of the
sturdy stock from which he sprang,
he forged steadily ahead and in 1879
was graduated with honors. Previous
to this, he had served as midshipman
on the old Hartford" memorable as
the flagship of Farragut at Mobile
Bay, and also on the ESSEX" an
other famous ship.
Shortly after his graduation he was
assigned to the historic frigate Con
stitution," at Norfolk, under the COM
mand of Rear Admiral Oscar F. Stan
ton, and after two years spent sailing
up and down the Atlantic was trans
ferred to the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
where he was made an ensign. Sub
sequently he served on the "Yantic,"
on which he made the interesting
cruise which took that vessel in 1888
to Littleton Island as convoy for the
Greeley relief steamship "Proteus."
1t was while serving on the Naval Ad-
visory Board year later that the
idea became fixed in the mind of the
young officer that the best interests
of the American Navy demanded that
its ships be made of steel. The idea
still abides with him now that he is
in supreme command.
After leaving the Advisory Board,
Ensign Benson was ordered to the
photographic branch of the service in
Baltimore. In 1886 he was assigned
to the Fish Commission steamship
"Albatross," where he spent two
years, being engaged for the greater
part of the time in deep.sea soundings
and investigations of marine life
along the eastern coast of the United
States.
In 1890 he was assigned to duty at
the Naval Academy and at the end Of
three years received his commission
as lieutenant. In 1900 he was pro-
noted to be lieutenant commander,

Brother A
White Father

General Foch, commander-in-chief
of the armies of the Allies, has a
brother who is Jesuit Father.
General Haig, commander of the
British armies in Flanders, has
brother who is Redemptorist Father.
And to add another to the list, Gen
eral Mangin, whose name has acquired
new renown because of the achiev-
ments of the armies under his COM
mand in the present Allied advance,
has brother who is White Father.
The last fact is Interestingly told
by Rev. F. Patrick Mcguire, mis-
sionary priest of the Premonstraten-
ton Order and Chevalier de HOrdre
du Lion, who visited Chicago relatives
last week.
Father Mcguire tells of the meeting
with the brother of the distinguished
French general in the following man
ner:
The recent accounts of the glorious
feat at arms performed by General
Mangin, who is just now being de-
picted as the happiest man in France,
recalls to mind an incident which took
place on board the Albertville, Bel
gian steamer on the west coast of
| Africa.
Invalided home from the mission
| and in company with sick brother, l
had already taken the steamer at the
mouth of the River Congo. Sailing on
shimmering seas of glass, the monot-
ony was broken by watching the shoals
of phosques in their mad rush after
the flying-fsh.
On reaching the French port of
Konacey, our vessel stopped for short
time in order to take up some neces-
sary provisions of fresh meat and fish,
as we'll as travellers. Presently there
appeared in small boat a man of
rather small stature and clothed in a
white cassock and a broad-brimmed
hat that showed unmistakable signs
of the bush. He was Immediately
hauled on board, in presence of large
number of passengers, who seemed to
know something about the mysterious
missionary. In the meantime the
word passed around in subdued tone,
lie Pere Mangin, frere du general
Father Mangin, brother Of the general.
He retired Immediately to his cabin
and in a short time emerged and ap-
peared on deck garbed this time in an
Immediately white cassock AS we
were the only missionaries on board,
he naturally sought our company, and
during the remaining part of the voy-
age he proved to be very entertain
ing and enjoyable companion.
He belonged to the Society of the
White Fathers of Cardinal Lavigerie
and had spent ten years of missionary
efforts on the buckle of the Niger. We
spent hours together interchanges
notes, Father Mangin dilating upon the
uses and customs of the natives of the
Niger Valley, and we describing the
primitives of the Welle and Aruwimi
districts between the Congo River and
the Nile.
The comparisons with regard to the
uses and customs as we'll as the Ian
guage Of the various tribes proved very
Instructive; but never once did he
mention his relationship with the gen.
eral who had already won his spurs in
Africa.
A wonderful lesson in modesty that !
showed the man Of God the true mis-.
sionary.

Resolutions reiterating the fealty Of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians to
President Wilson and the Government
were adopted at the closing session Of
the meeting of the Board Of Directors
Of the organization held at Atlantic:
City, N. j., last week. The annual
convention of the order was to have
been held in San Francisco, but was
omitted on account of the war.
Reports submitted at the meeting
showed that the order is comprised of
2,100 branches in thriving condition
with a membership, including that of
the Women's Auxiliary, considerably
in excess of 100000. The Auxiliary
has $4,000 members.
The Auxiliary also adopted pledge
of loyalty which was sent to President
Wilson on Friday. The war and
peace policy of the President was in
dorsed and the membership declared
ready to answer any call that might
be made. Another resolution express
ed absolute confidence in the President
relative to the future of the Irish ST.
uation.
I'VE rest satisfied and have the
greatest faith in your Judgment" It
read. "Your oft-repeated assertion
that small nations be allowed the
right Of selfdetermination encourages
US. Your statesmanlike knowledge of
Irish history, her conditions, and her
her national aspirations make us feel
assured that the situation will be dealt
with Justly at the final reckoning at
the end Of the war"

CHANGE OF HEART.

Before the war French statesmen
said they had banished God out of the
heavens and taken Christ from the
schools. But General Foch, command
ing general OF the allied forces, is diff
ferent. He has said to one of his army
chaplains: Tomorrow we are to make
our supreme effort. Do you also make
a supreme effort in prayer; all my
trust is in God" The French soldiers
and people will within more ways

and five years later was made com.
mander. In 1907, after varied serv-
ice. he was made commandant of mid
shipmen at the Academy under Cap
tain Charles j. Badger, now rear ad-
miral on the General Board of the
Navy, of which Admiral Benson has
been president since the death of Ad-
miral Dewey. In October, 1908, he
relieved Henry T. Mayo of the COM
mand of the Pacific fleet, his ship, the
albany" being sent to Nicaraguan
waters to protect American interests
at Corinto and the Gulf of Fonesca.
After the Spanish-American War
he commanded the Chicago" on
which ship he made cruise through
the Mediterranean and Red seas and
around Africa returning to the United
States via Rio Janeiro and the East
Indies. On August 20, 1915, he was
promoted to the rank of admiral by
an act of Congress, and is now the
ranking officer of the service It was
about this time that Congress awak-
ened to the necessity of creating a
Chief of Naval Operations who should
be responsible for the fleet and the
preparation of plans for it's use later.
Admiral Benson was so successful in
organizing the Office and demonstrate
ed its needs so thoroughly that in
1916 Congress enacted that the Chief
of Operations should have Jurisdiction
in the name OF the Secretary; that the
Chief while holding office should have
the rank of admiral, and that to in
sure the highest efficiency at least fif-
teen officers should be assigned to
duty under him.
Admiral Benson is a convert OF
long-standing, and since he has come
into the Church there is not man
who has been a more staunch defender
of the faith. When in charge of the
Naval Academy he was a daily COM

fold duties prevent his daily recep-
ton Of the Eucharist, he never fails
to be at the altar-rail on Sunday. The
chief pleasure he derives from having
reached his present position, he says,
is the thought that it reflects credit
on the faith. The few days each year
which he can spare from his arduous
f1,c
he spends at Mt. Manresa, making a
spiritual retreat His faith has that
childlike quality which is the best
guarantee of it's genuineness. He
lives it out in his life and takes it
for granted. He has never played to
the galleries at any time in his life,
much less since his entrance into the
Church.
He is the soul of honest straight
forWardness and probity Perhaps
his character is best described by this
and former shipmates: mo matter
what his personal feeling for me
might be, there is no officer in the
Navy whom l would fear moro if l
were on trial for an offense of which
was guilty. For nothing would make
him swerve from what he conceived to-
be his duty"
Last year Admiral Benson was Sc
lected by the faculty of the Univer-
30513-Irish-Tw FAS
sity of Notre Dame as the recipient
OF the Laetare Medal, which is award
ed annually to the Catholic layman
who, in the opinion of the faculty,
has rendered the most distinguished
service during the year.
