UaLD MUlSUH2 MUikiTalVU
Oyster Bay, N. Y. Jan. 6.Col.
Theodore Roosevelt died in his sleep
early today at his home on Saga
more Hill in this village. Death is
believed to have been due to rhea-
matism which affected his heart.
The colonel suffered severe at
tack of,rleumatism and sciatica on
New Years day, but none believed
his illness would likely prove fatal.
The former president sat up most
OF Sunday and retired at II O'Clock
last night. About 4 O'Clock this
morning Mrs. Roosevelt, who was
the only other member of the fam
lily at Oyster Bay, went to her hus
bands room and found that he had
died during the night. Mrs. Roose-
welt telephoned to Colonel Emlin
Roosevelt, cousin of t h e former
president, and he came to the Roose-
welt home immediately. Cable mes
sages were sent to Major Theodore
Roosevelt. Jr., and Captain Kermit
Roosevelt, who are in service in
France, and tele e<5rams to Mrs. Mich
olas LongWorth, to Captain Archie,
who left yesterday with his wife for
Boston, where his father-in- law died
today, and to Mrs. Ethel Derby.
who is in Aiken, S. c., with her two
children.
Telesrams Of condolence n d
sympathy began to pour in from
all parts of the country today as
soon as the news OF Colonel Roose-
velt's death became known
The former president came to his
home on Sycamore Hill from the
Roosevelt hospital n { hrist mas
Day, but a week later was stricken
with a severe attack of rheumatism
and sciatica. from which he hsj
been suffering for some time. The
rheumatism affected his right hanC

remained in his room and efforts
were made to check the trouble
| Last Saturday the coIonel's secre
tary, Miss Josephine Stricken, called
to see him but the colonel wa!
asleep in his room. Miss Stricke
said today no one had any idea tha
death was SO near at hand.
Flags were placed at half mas

holds only when they marry as be-
comes a socialist, in compliance with
the law of the Church, and therefore
excludes all mixed marriages and
patched-up matrimonial entangle-
ments.
We know former socialists who are
now the mothers of happy families,
that are as proud of no ornament in
their household as of that statue OF
the Blessed Virgin, which they re-
ceived with the best wishes of their
sodality on their wedding day. They
prize it not SO much for it's material
value as on account of the ever-pleas-
ant reminder of early piety and an
untarnished maidenhood. Some So
dalists have gone SO far as to say
that they would rather have foregone
all other wedding gifts than to have
been found undeserving of that token
from the sodality. Pastors and spir-
itual directors, interested in their So
dalists, show special honor to faith
full members of the sodalities on their
wedding day. They allow the sodality
to decorate the sanctuary and espe-
cially the altar of the Blessed Vir-
gin, permitting only socialist brides to
kneel within the sanctuary, having as
many members of the sodality as
possible to assist at the Nuptial Mass,
and to sing beautiful hymns of the
Blessed Virgin, instead of some out
landish solos or theatrical wedding
marches.
Those members who follow the
calling to the religious life are pre-
sented by the sodality with some
useful article, such as Prayerbook for
religious, on the day of their profess
sion

IRISH RELIC.
-Exch0 nCe.

The bell of st. Senan, the tenth
century Irish relic that was sold by
auction in London recently, realized
the sum of 1880 guineas ($6,250)
The bell was purchased by Mr. Will
liam George PAINTER who has gener-
ously presented the historic relic to
the Irish nation in the guardianship
of the Irish Academy in Dublin. The
Royal Irish Academy was founded in
1886 for the study of science and po-
lite literature.
The bell of st. Senanus, an Irish
saint ranking in the hierarchy of the
saints with the names of Patrick,
Bridgit and Columbkille, is a pious
relic around which many legends have
been woven.
According to ancient manuscripts
st. Senan was one day near Kiltan-
mum. when a bell fell at his feet, COM
ing from the skies and changing loud
ly. For that reason is was called
Clogna Neal-the bell of the clouds.
But as years went by it became known
as Clog an Oir-because it appeared
to be made of gold.
The bell is five inches high and two
and half inches across the base. 1t
is constructed of gilt-bronze, of a
rectangular shape, widening towards
the base, the four faces being deco
rated with slightly raised Runic or
nament outlined with silver and with
sunken receptacles for jewels.
For nearly 600 years the bell was
preserved by the comharbs of St.
.Senan, the last comharb being Cal
vagh O'Cahane, who died in 1881. 1t
still remained in the keeping of the
direct line of the family until 1880,
when through marriage it passed into
the keeping of Robert Cahan of Bally
voc.
Under the care of the comharbs the
bell was looked upon as a sacred relic,
and an oath sworn upon it was held
to be inviolable. 1t was said that if
one had sworn on oath on the bell
and afterwards lied, his mouth would
be twisted awry.

INDISPENSABLE WOMANHOOD.

1t is an infinitely better thing to
be sweet and gracious and virtuous
woman than to be the foremost of
women novelists, or poets, OF musical

but we are imagining choice. New

which the one woman out of the one

world, to be compared as a benefcent

DEVOTION TO OUR LADY IN AN.
GENT DUBLIN.

Dublin is rich in souvenirs of thai
devotion to our Blessed Lady which
is so characteristic of the Irish PEG
pie. Before tie arrival of the Anglo
Normans in the twelfth century the
eastern gate of the city stood at the
extremity of Dame street, so called
because statue of the Mother OF
God was honored in niche above it
for Wnich reason it was known as the
Porte de Sainte Marie del Dam"
The name was derived from q
neighboring church consecrated to
Our Lady of the DAM" in allusion
to the proximity of the sacred edifice
TO mill dam. Danes Gate, as the
Porte de Sainte Marie del Dam came
IN time to be called, was one of the
parrowest entrances to the city; and
Lord STAFFORD, then England's Vice
roy in Ireland, had it partially pulled
down, with view to it's reconstruc
ton on a wider scale. But the
scheme fell through for some reason
and the pedestal of the statue of Our
Lady remained undisturbed till the
final demolition of the gate in 1898.
1t was through this old gateway
that, during the Middle Ages, the
Mayor and Corporation of Dublin used
TO pass on State occasions. And even
when it had been knocked down, the
Ulster king-of-arms always stood upon
its site when demanding the Lord
Mayors permission to enter the city.
When Henry II, Of England, kept
Christmas in the Irish capital, in III,
he entertained his guests in a tenn
Dorary building erected where a por-
ton OF Dame street now runs. An
English chronicle tells us that the
people of Dublin wondered and mar.
yelled" at the amount of food con-
sumed by the Englishmen.
But by far the most interesting
souvenir of ancient Ireland's devotion
to the Blessed Virgin is the famous
statue of Our Lady of Dublin" now
in the Carmelite Church, Whitefrair
street, which was the scene of a great
pilgrimage on the Feast of st. Co.
lumbkille. On that occasion the
women Of Dublin went in procession
to pray for Ireland and in spite OF a
high wind and a continuous downpour
assembled in hundreds round the al
tar where the Blessed Sacrament was
exposed all day long.
A picturesque feature of the memoir
able pilgrimage was the number of
women who carried flowers, which
were eventually laid upon the altar
The statue of Our Lady of Dublin
was brilliantly Illuminated for the
solemn occasion by means of num-
Der of small lights placed all round
it like an oblong frame. The figure
is of Irish oak, and life-siZe, and rep
rcsents the Blessed Virgin with the
Infant Jesus in her arms.
The Cistercians were the guardians
of the statue till the suppression of
st. Mary'S Abbey in 1914, when Henry
VIII handed the building over to the
Earl of OrmOnde as stable for his
horses. The beautiful statue was con
demned to be burned. Indeed the
back had been actually charred away
when it was rescued from the flames
by poor Irishman.

| assure you. Almost daily | stagger
to pfcnics under a burden of ladies
wraps, lunch baskets, and Eiddies.
But | was telling you about Father
Livingston, who built the beautiful
Gothic church-with O'Malley money
mostly. It's only about ten years old,
and he tells me that before it was
built the O'Malleys were almost the
only Catholics in the neighborhood.
In fact, he implied that even the
O'Malleys were converts; but, while
l did not contradict him, think he is
mistaken on this point.
He told me another thing which
rather worries me. He says that
Marie Louise it was who named the

then, can she lie, as she did, with her
dark eyes looking soulfully into mine
