THE COUNTESS LEARY
LATE DISTINGUISHED WOMAN
NOTED FOR cHARlTY-oRGAN-
lied MANY FORMS OF Relief
HEAD OF NATIONAL SOCIETY.

Pope Leo XIII conferred upon Miss
Annie Leary, who died April 26, the
title of Papal Countess, in recognition
for her services to the Church. She
was much beloved as a woman of gen.
erous benefactions, whose contribu
lions to deserving charities have been
frequent and judicious. She had de.
voted herself to charitable work since
girlhood.
Her first great endeavor was in the
Italian quarter of New York A mis-
sion conducted by priests was not as
successful as it should have been
and Countess Leary, taking hand
interested the children through a
sewing class, at which she taught the
little ones their catechism.
With the approval Of the ecclesi
astical authorities Countess Leary
brought to New York Chapter OF
the Order of the Fathers of the
Blessed Sacrament. She also brought
to the country the Sisters of the Or.
der of the Reparation.
In honor of her brother, Arthur
Leary, the Countess erected at Belle
vue Hospital, N. Y, the Chapel of the
Blessed Sacrament, which has been
pronounced by architects and Others
as being one of the most beautiful in
the country.
At BlackwelPs Island Miss Leary
maintained a mission and helped the
chapel, and also gave library
where, in addition to the books, are
kept tea for the women patients and
tobacco for the men who are too poor
to buy the comforts of life Sewing
and knitting classes, which made the
shawls and some of the stockings the
patients wore, were also maintained
and the Countess devoted large parl
of her time to those poor childFen on
the island who had suffered from
tuberculosis.
Countess Leary was for some time
one of the Vice Presidents of Stony
wood, the home for sufferers from
tuberculosis, in the Adirondacks. In
1914 she was chosen as the head oil
| the National Organization of Catholic
Women of the United States, which
had as it's object the building of 8
new church on the grounds of the
| Catholic University In Washington.

Mr.. Frank M. KierOn is in charge of
the st. Paul employment office opened
here April by the Knights of Column
bus and the Catholic War Council
Mr.. Kieron writes of his work, quoting
the following letter:

The above letter is one which came
from a returned soldier whom we sent
to Luverne. It is typical of the other
letters received and indicates the
treatment which returned soldiers and
sailors are receiving at the hands of
farmers.
Since the organization of the Ma
tional Catholic War Council and K. of
C. Employment Service in Minnesota
in April we have been receiving many
calls for farm help, and it has been
gratifying to note the good character
of the applications since they indicate
the desire of the farmers to be reason.

etc. The farmers are willing to pay
attractive wages ranging from $50 to

been considerable movement to the

PRIEST PRAISES NURSES
RED CROSS ALWAYS IN THE
RIGHT PLACE, SAYS NOTED
CHAPLAIN

Father Duffy, chaplain of New
York's Old Sixty-ninth, writes:
l think that I never saw finer
women anywhere than the Red Cross
women in service overseas. At every
point that their operations touched
our regiment they showed up 100 per
cent worth while-nurses in the hos
pitfalls, canteen workers at railway sta
tons and at docks. Workers and all,
they were splendid, high-spirited
American women whom one can only
praise.
They were always where they should
be at the time they should be. No
body had to look twice for them.
Sometimes they were where you
would never think of their being-un-
der fire, for instance. Take the time
at Chalons when the three or four
girls who were in charge of the rail
way station canteen remained under
fire for days because they wouldn't
desert their job of feeding the SOL
diers who were constantly passing
through. And they stuck, mind you,
when more than half Of the native
population evacuated. They were in
momentary danger of their lives, but
they went ahead without thought of
themselves. l regret that cannot re-
call all their names. One was a Miss
Mott, | think, of an old New England
family, and another was Miss Wilson,
an aunt of Major Hamilton Fish.
There is nothing too good to say
about women like that. I'll subscribe
to the most enthusiastic praise that
can be thought.

and of Christian civilization, they
are destined to have the chief role in
the restoration of peace and order,
and in the reconstruction of human
society on the basis of these same
principles, when the violence of these
tempestuous days shall have passed.
Meanwhile, we very lovingly in the
Lord impart the Apostolic Benedic-
ton, intermediary of divine graces
and pledge of our paternal good will,
to you our beloved sons, to our VEN
cradle brethren and to the clergy and
people of your 1Ocks, but in a par
ticular manner to all those who shall

averted serious trouble. He estab-
which he conducted for number of
years. He went to Rome in 1885, and
upon his return to Yankton the city
gave him great reception, in process
sion and addresses, the occasion being
made public fete day.
Moved to Sioux Falls.
The year 1889 saw the vast terri
tory of Dakota divided into two states.
Bishop Marty was appointed Bishop
Of Sioux Falls, and he removed to
that city. Failing health, brought on
by devotion to the Indian work, a
field of great hardship, caused, in
1895 his appointment, on Archbishop
Ireland's suggestion, to st. Cloud,
Mimi, a quieter field, where Bishop
Marty died in 1896. Such in brief is
the life history of this remarkable
man. Today a statue and chapel keep
alive his memory. This chapel is one
of perpetual alteration. The Benedic-
tine Sisters were invited to Dakota in
1880 and came the following year.
They have charge of the institutions
on Mt. Marty, and in addition to con-
vent and chapel duties have charge of
two hospitals, two academies, num-
Der of parochial schools and of about
four thousand pupils.
A little over forty years have rolled
by since first Bishop Marty quietly
moved amongst Yankton people. He
was always greatly interested in the
city and its people. He was a great
friend of Bishop Hare, the venerable
prelate of the Episcopal faith who
like him, moved to Sioux Falls. His
faith in the future and his well di-
rected efforts have had great results,
and while Il special day was, devoted
to dedicatin9 a statue to his memory,
in much larger sense it is true Mt.
Marty has been dedicated, even con
secrated, to his memory for these past
forty years. The chapel was erected
by those who loved Bishop Marty, and
others, made possible the Shrine of the
Passion of Christ, in which devotion
and art have been combined in Won
derful blending.

puzzled the police and sheriff's force
recently. Attendants at the Church
reported to the Rev. w. G. Miller
that someone had been using the
statue of Christ for repository of
clothing. The priest found that a
complete infantryman's uniform, from
underclothes to hat and shoes, had
been draped over and around the
statue, and on one outstretched hand
was hung small model Of a bayOnet.
The insignia had mostly been taken
from the clothes, but enough re-
manned to show that the soldier was

Italian explained that the offering
was piously made in thanks for his
safe return from France.

CATHOLIC. DIRECTORY
LATEST EDITION SH OWS IN
CREASE IN CATHOLIC MEMBER
SHIP IN THIS COUNTRY-MORE
THAN ONE THOUSAND ARMY
AND NAVY cHAPLAiNS LISTED.

There are 17,54S,324 Catholics in
the forty-eight states of the Union, ac-
cording to the 1919 edition of "The
Official Catholic Directory published
and copyrighted by P. j. Kennedy &
Sons OF Barclay street, New York.
With fifty-four Archdiocese and Do
ceses making no changes in their pop
ulation statistics, with nine Dioceses
showing decreases and with thirty
nine Archdiocese and Dioceses show
ing increases, the net increase in the
number of Catholics aoyer the preced-
ing year amounts to 133,021.V1 8 o.
Although this is the smallest in
crease shown in many a year, there is
no cause for alarm, for, according to
the tables of the 1919 issue, fifty-four
important Archdiocese and Dioceses
made no changes whatever in their
population figures. This simply indi-
Gates that no new census was taken
during the unsettled conditions
brought about by the great world war.
According to Joseph H. Meier who
has compiled the directory for the
past fourteen years, the figure, IT,
549,324, is very conservative, and if
the floating" Catholic population
could be recorded and if it had been
| possible for every Diocese in the coun-
try to take a new census, the Cath
Ole population figure would, accord
| ing to Mr. Meier, be over 100000.
Adding to the figure 17,549,324,
which is the Catholic population of
the United States proper, the number
| OF Catholics in Alaska, the Canal
Zone, the Virgin Islands, Guam, the
| United States possessions in Samoa,
the Hawaiian Islands, Porto Rico and
in the Philippines, it develops that
there are 26,332 $50 Catholics under
| the protection of the United States
| flag.
The usual table of statistics appears
| in the Kennedy publication, and ac-
cording to the general summary of
| the 1919 issue there are now 20,58S
| Catholic priests in the United States
| OF these, 1902 are secular clergymen
and 1886 are priests of religious or
| derS
Other figures taken from the copy
| righted summary are as follows:
Archbishops, IA; Bishops, 81;
churches with resident priests, 10,460;
missions with churches, 5,537; semi
naries, 10; seminarians, 1866: par
ishes with schools, 5,7SS; children at
tending parochial schools, 1855, 500;
orphan asylums, 294; orphans, 46,069;
homes for aged, 49, colleges for boys,
215: academies for girls, GA.
| Another feature of the 1919 edition
is the complete list Of army and navy
| chaplains which takes up six pages
in the Kennedy publication. The 1852
secular clergy and the 264 members
Of religious orders who were serving
under the Stars and Stripes, are listed
| in the army and navy section.

Life of Bishop Marty.
During the interesting services, in
church and at the unwilling, many
facts of the life of Bishop Marty were
brought out by Father Ignatius, David
NJ. Finnegan, and p. F. Wickham, of
Alexandria. Bishop Marty was born
January IL, 1884, in Switzerland, the
cradle Of freedom. He won distin-
guished honors as a student in high
school. In 1853 he Joined the Order
of st. Benedict at the famous Abbey
of Einsiedeln. In 1856 he was or
dained priest, and was for four years
professor in the college at the place
named. In 1860 the cry from the New
World reached his Abbey and he vol
unteered for overseas service. He
came to southern Indiana, and was
there at the foundation of the Abbey
at ST. Meinrad and became its first
Abbot on appointment of Pope Plus

In 1876 Father Abbot Marty first
visited the Sioux Indians. He came

number of years after he was often in
Yankton, and on August II, 1879, Pope
Leo XIII signed the apostolic brief
which created him Bishop of Tiberius
and Vicar Apostolic of Dakota Terri
tory In 1880 he established his home
in the northeast room of Sacred Heart
Academy on Mt. Marty. The present
rectory was built in 1882.
During his very busy life work there
he laid the foundations for about sew

several hospitals and converts, and
through his activities between eight

embraced the Christian faith. During
this time he had great influence

Some players have different parts
other. have duplicate parts TO aoa ~
the volume of sound, but the results
as a whole are absolutely dependent
upon the perfection of the mdivlduai
effort, each in his part
He must play his part in tune anu
time; for such is part Of the "hole'
and the character of his performance
determines the character OF the or
ganiation.
And likewise in human society
The character and effort OF each III
dividual of the community OF the com
mu1lty determines the character OF
the community and its Harmonious
workings as a society.
One player by himself unaccoh'
panied isn't much either III interest
or volume of sound but each in ms
proper relation to the other produces
both harmony and volume and the ell
forts of each are all important III the
general result.
So it is also in the working or
human society: There are those
whose functions and efforts may be
u1noticed yet take them away and
the performance Of all others are rem
dered useless and Improbable.
And the worth of real leadership Is
nowhere better illustrated than in the
orchestra.
The orchestra may be so large and
the parts so many as not to permit
the director himself to be a player
just as in the case of executives III
the working organizations OF society
they may be of more value as d.
rectors of work than as actual work
ers.
Eut whether his is an actual player
or not the orchestral directors func-
tiol is one OF keeping the individual
PLAYERS in time and tune by criticism
and suggestion that each may play
his part in harmony with his fellow
players and for results as a whole or
ganization.
The orchestra director who as
sumes the despotic attitude toward
his men--one Of driver than lead
er of his men is a paradox in that he
is trying to produce harmony by in
stilllag discord into their hearts.
Likewise the player in this human
orchestra who deliberately effects
discord is inviting temporary chaos
and ultimate disaster upon his iel-
lows.
1t is true that an orchestra can Sc
lect its members while society, a
community, must be taken as it is.
Yet an orchestra is never perfect
there IS always room Tor improve
ment
Society is not perfect, but there
will be much Improvement when we
as individuals see that the POSSIBLE
ity OF Improvement is within our
selves.
That reform like charity, begins at
