CARDINAL FARLEY DEAD.
VENERABLE PRELATE OF NEW
YORK SUcCUMBS AFTER
LONG ILLNESS,

Cardinal John M. Farley, Archbish
op of New York. died at his country
| home at Mamaroneck, N. Y, last Tues
| day night
The Cardinal was taken ill at his
summer home about the middle of
August. 1t was thought that a rest
in the quiet country would do much
to restore him to health. He regained
his strength to some extent, but last
week a weakness of the heart devel-
oped. Last Sunday it was said by his
physicians that little hope was held
out for his recovery. Realizing that
the end was not far off last Monday
afternoon, Auxiliary Bishop Hayes ad-
ministered the Sacrament of Extreme
Unction. The end came shortly after
nine o'clock Tuesday night. At his
bedside, besides the doctors, were
Bishop Hayes and Mgrs. Carroll, La
velle and Mooney.
Cardinal Farley was born April 20,
1912, at Newtown, County Armagh,
Ireland. He was a son of Philip and
Catherine (Murphy) Farley. Both
parents died when the boy was only
seven years of age, and he was left
to a great extent to make his own way
through the world. For some time he
attended st. Macartan's College, Mon
aghan. Here he proved to be both
brilliant and popular.
With the help of an uncle he went
to New York and continued his edu-.
cation at ST. Johns College, Fordham,
and st. Joseph's Seminary, Troy, N. Y.
He completed his scholastic training
with a four-year course of study at
the American College and the Propa-
ganda in Rome. He was ordained to
the priesthood in that city, June II,
1870
On his return to America the young
priest spent two years as assistant at
ST. Peters Church, New Brighton,
Staten Island. In 1872 Cardinal Arch
bishop McCloskey chose Father Far
ley as his private secretary position
Which he filled until 1894. In the
same year he was made a private
Chamberlain to Pope Leo XIII, with
the title of Monsignor In 1891, he
became Vicar General Of the Archdio-
cese of New York, and a Domestic
Prelate the following year. In 1895,
he was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of
New York, and became administrator
of the Archdiocese in 1902. On Sep
tember 10, of the same year, he sue
ceeded Archbishop Corrigan in the See
of New York
In the midst of activities in his large
Archdiocese the late Cardinal Farley
found time to write the following
works: Neither Generous Nor Just;
Life of Cardinal McCloskey; Why
Church Property Should Not Be
Taxed; History of st. Patrick's Cathe-
dral, New York.
On the occasion of the fortieth an
niversary of Cardinal Farley's ordina-
ton, in 1910, the clergy and laity of
the Archdiocese presented him with
the muniticent gift of 100000. The
prelate used this sum to pay off the
Indebtedness against st. Patricks Ca
thedral. His energy in raising the
magnificent sum of five million dollars
for Catholic war work last March rep
resents most unusual feat for cam
paign lasting but one week.

MASS AND MEDALS

Following the presentation of medals
for bravery to the heroes of the brig
ade from Pisa, Italy, Mass was cele-
brated by the chaplain of the brigade
and attended by the men of the brig
AIDES of both Pisa and Florence, num-
bering in all about 10000. The brig
ade from Pisa is one of the bravest
and best known in the Italian army,
and has held its ground along the
Piave, though it has suffered tremen-
dous losses. These men covered
themselves with glory in the drive Of
November, 1917, and won new Iaurels

SANCTUARY OIL

/ Among the many things that are
now rationed in England is oil, and
sanctuary oil is one of the kinds of oil
of which only limited quantity may
be used. The English Food Controller
restricts the amount of oil to one pint
a week, which means that only one
lamp will be kept burning in the Cath
olic churches. The restriction will be
felt most severely in the convent
chapels where there is perpetual ex-
position, as candles are generally re-
placed by lamps during the night
hours.

need these people are for lack of ne
cessitites. Stocks of clothing and
raw material are long since exhaust
ed. There are no imports other than
those the Commission for Relief in
Belgium has been permitted to make,
and these never have been sufficient.
The world is now short of both cloth
ing and raw material, so the commits
sion can no longer purchase what is
needed. But you can give it.
Every household in the land has
some spare clothing, worn or out
grown, of little use here, but desper-
ately needed by the destitute there.
This extract from letter of we'll
to-do lady of Brussels shows the con-
ditions exactly:
Perhaps you will laugh when you
hear that l wear a cloak made from
my husbands garde civique Oyercoat,
a waist made from his football shirt,
and a skirt made of dyed bedsheet.
Mother had suit made of the table
cloth, J. and M. have 'cioaks made of
woolen blankets, and S. a 6ress made
of burlap. But all this is OTlly anus
ing in comparison with the wreLched-
ness of the population. After all, we
remain calm and confident Of victory"
A recent Brussels advertisement
says: Il will give up to 125 francs
($25) for new or worn bedsheets."
Every kind of garment, for all ages
and both sexes, is urgently needed. In
addition, piece goods-light, warm can
ton flannel and other kinds of cloth
from which to make garments for new
born babies, ticking, sheeting, and
blankets, woolen goods of any kind
and shoes of every size are asked for.
Scrap leather is needed for repairing
footwear.
Since the clothes will be subjected
to the hardest kind of wear only gar
ments made of strong and durable
materials should be sent. 1t is use
less to offer to any afflicted popula-
tion garments of flimsy material or
gaudy coloring. Make the gifts prac-
tical
Garments need not be in perfect
condition A hundred thousand destf-
tute women in the occupied regions
are eager to earn small livelihood
by repairing gift clothing and max
ing new garments adapted to needs
with which they are familiar.

A Rare Event

The conservation IN Rome of a
resident priest as Bishop of an
American diocese is a rare event; but
it is interesting to recall, in connec-
ton with the conservation of Bishop
McNichOlas in the Church of San Gle
mente, the fact that Father Luke
Concannen, the first Bishop of New
York, was cOnsecrated in the
Dominican Church of Santa Catarina,
Rome, on April "a. 1906. Several
other Bishops succeeding him were
also consecrated there.

PLEA FOR EDUCATION
MR.. WILSON ASKS FOR CONTINU-
ALTON OF SCHOLASTIC Eff
FORTS.
The President of the United States
sent this letter some time ago to the
Secretary of the Interior:
THE WHITE HOUSE,
Washington

Washington.
My Dear Mr.. Secretary:
I am pleased to know that despite
the unusual burdens imposed upon
our people by the war they have main
tanned their schools and other agen-
cies of education so nearly at their
normal efficiency. That this should
be continued throughout the war and
that, in SO far as the draft law will
permit, there should be no falling off
in attendance in elementary schools,
high schools or colleges is a matter
of the very greatest Importance, af
fecting both our strength in war and
our national welfare and efficiency
when the war is over. So long as the
war continues there will be constant
need of very large numbers of men
and women of the highest and most
thorough training for war service in
many lines. After the war there will
be urgent need not only for trained
leadership in all lines of industrial,
commercial, social and civic life, but
for very high average of intelligence
and preparation on the part of all the
people. | would therefore urge that
the people continue to give generous
support to their schools of all grades,
and that the schools adjust themselves
as wisely as possible to the new con-
ditions to the end that no boy or girl
shall have less opportunity for edu-
cation because of the war, and that
the nation may be strengthened as it
can only be through the right educa-
tion of all its people
Cordially and sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON.

Secretary of the Interior

RUMOR IS DOUBTED

The Vatican, according to dis
patch, does not believe that the; for
mer Russian empress is dead, for it
is considered probable it would have
been informed if there were confirma-
ton of the report. After the execu-
ton of former Emperor Nicholas, the
Vatican appealed to the German and
Austrian governments to save his
wife and daughters.

A PRECEDENT Is CITED IN THE
TIME OF CGEON-PAPACY
REFUSED TO TAKE SIDES IN
HUGE STRUGGLE.

In the spring OF 1904 the Sacred
College met to discuss a question of
the gravest Importance, recalls the
Pittsburgh Observer. The First Con
sui of the French Republic had been
elected Emperor, and he wanted the
Pope to come to Paris to crown him.
AT that time he was at war with half
Europe. War with Great Britain had
broken out again after the Peace of
AmienS; the British government was
organizing an alliance against Napo-
looP with Russia. Austria and Sweden.
Would it be wise, in such a state of
things, to pay SO great a compliment
to the leader of one side? Moreover,
Napoleon hardly deserved the favor
of the Holy See. He had just put the
seal on a career of tyranny by an
atrocious crime, the murder of the
Duke of Enghien. He was the child
of the Revolution, and an enemy of
the old order, with which the Church
had been so long associated. Louis
XVIII, then in exile at Warsaw, would
he deeply offended; so would the En-
peror Francis II at Vienna. No Pope
had crowned a sovereign for cen
turiesy indeed, to be crowned by the
Pope was considered the special privi-
Iege of the Roman Emperor, and there
was Roman Emperor at Vienna,
Napoleon's enemy. (The Roman En-
peror Francis ii abolished the old
empire in August, 1906, and con-
tinued his, reign as Francis 1, EN-
peror of Austria) On the other hand,
there were weighty reasons for con-
ceding the new emperor's demand.
He was by far the most powerful
man in Europe; he had almost in
limited opportunity for benefiting or
for injuring religion; he was prac-
tically master of the Papal States.
Two years before he had arranged
the Concordat, whereby, as he was
fond of saying, he had made the Pope
a present of 80 million French Cath
olics: he had restored the Catholic
religion throughout the Republic after
the horrors of the Convention and
Directory. So far, at least, he had
deserved we'll of the Church, He
seemed the one man then able to re
store order and religion in France;
if he were offended, he could do in
calculable harm. He had already
threatened to set up schismatica
National Church, and he had played
with the idea of turning Moslem
making his whole army do so too
1t would be bad business to quarrel
with such a man.
Growing King.
There was, of course, no principle
of faith or morals involved either
way. No law of God forbids, the
Pope to crown any man he pleases
So, as we know after grave discus
sion Plus went to Paris-and Ma
poleon took the, opportunity of in
sulting him at the coronation. In
spite of this concession, Plus showed
himself absolutely uncompromising

LETTER TO IRISH BISHOPS

you have recalled, Venerable Broth
| ers, apropos of what we have done
since the beginning of our pontificate
to mitigate the sorrowful consequences
of the actual conflict and to bring
nearer the end of the inhuman slaugh-
ter The unjust campaign of which
we have been made the object, will
not occasion in us the weakening of
our ardent will and tireless activity
on behalf of all humanity, feeling GER
tain that, once these stormy times
have ceased and minds have regained
their tranquility the nobility and the
imparitality of our work will be every
where recognized.
Vigilance Called For.
In the meantime it is your duty,
Venerable Brothers, as also of the
other Bishops, and of the secular and.
regular clergy, to exercise vigilance
so that, amid all attacks, the faith,
may remain intact among the Chris
tian people and that all may remain
firmly united to Holy Mother Church
and to her Supreme Pastor. Well we
understand how many and how grave
are the difficulties that beset at this
the episcopacy and the clergy
of the Catholic orb. But we trust
that with that Christian fortitude of
which Venerable Oliver Plunkett gave
such an admirable example, joined to
that wise prudence and moderation
which the apostolic ministry demands,
where the situation is deli
cate and grave, they will be able to
fulfill their sacred mission and pre-
pare better times for the Church of
God
'<As an earnest of the divine help
which for this end we invoke on you
from heaven, and as a testimony of
our special benevolence, we impart to
you and to everyone of the faithful
in your dioceses with particular af
lection the Apostolic Benediction.
