OUR DEAD ABROAD
AMERICAN RED CROSS TO PRE-
PARE FACILITIES FOR
VISITORS.

Thousands of American friends and
relatives of the men who lie buried in
France will travel to the graves of
their loved ones the coming summer
in motor omnibuses provided by the
Graves Information Department Of the
American Red Cross.
American war cemeteries along the
old battle lines are, for the most part,
inaccessible by train. Many of them
lie more than ten miles from the near
est railway station. To save Ameri
can visitors, particularly aged mothers
and fathers, from the difficulty and eX-
pense of obtaining private transporta-
ton to the cemeteries, or the alter
native discomfort and fatigue of max
ing the pilgrimage of sorrow on foot,
the American Red Cross is now organ
izing a complete system of bus lines
to the principal points where Ameri-
cas- heroes lie. The system will be
complete and in active operation be-
fore the summer months.

SACRANENTAL Wines
CLERGY NEED NO LONGER TAKE
OATH IN APPLICATION FOR
MASS WINE OR GIVE ESTIMATE
OF TIME REQUIRED FOR CON-
SUMPTION.

Revision of the form of application
for the procurement of sacramental
wines so as to ameliorate the present
regulations on the subject is promised
by John F. Kramer, federal prohibi-
ton commissioner.
In circular giving instructions to
collectors of internal revenue, state di-
rectOrs, and other officials charged
with the enforcement of prohibition,
Commissioner Kramer announces that
applicants for the procurement of sac
ramental wines will not be obliged
hereafter to estimate the period of
time needed for the consumption Of
the quantity named in the application,
and there will be no requirement that
the form will be subscribed under
oath.
Pending the revision of the present
form, Commissioner Kramer states,
collectors and directors will be per-
mitted to accept applications which
omit the estimate and which are not
executed under oath. The instructions
apply where there is a hierarchical
form of organization" and thus partic
ularly affect the Catholic Church.
The other regulations governing the
procurement of wines for sacramental
use remain in force.

GOVERNOR ON SCHOOLS
PENNSYLVANIA EXECUTIVE DE.
CLARES THAT SPIRIT OF OBEDl-
ENCE FOSTERED BY CHURCH is
HEADING OFF GREATER UN-
REST.

An eloquent tribute to the work of
the Catholic schools and the spirit of
obedience so prevalent in the Cath
olic Church was given by Governor

claimed, "there could be more of it in
all our schools such as you have in
yours! The nation would be the bet
ter for it.
Referring to the spirit of obedience
fostered by the Church, Governor
Sproul said it is one of the things

NOTED PIONEER DIES IN EIGHTY
SECOND YEAR OF FAGE-HELPED
TO BUILD GREAT NORTHWEST
-MOST GENEROUS BENEFAc-
TOR TO WORKS OF CHARITY,
EDUCATION AND RELIGION.

Last Tuesday morning Mr.. Timothy
Foley died at his home in this city
after a long illness. He had been in
ill health since last fall and spent the
winter in California. About a month
ago he returned to st. Paul apparent
ly improved in health, but pernicious
anemia had set in and it fastened the
end. Friday afternoon, May 21, he re-
ceived the last Sacraments with great
piety from Rev. l.. F. Ryan, rector
of the Cathedral.
Mr.. Foley was pioneer lumberman
and was known throughout the world
as a railroad contractor, wholesale
grocer and capitalist. His charities
were always in keeping with his great
wealth and material success.
Born in 1888.
Mr.. Foley was born August Is, 1888,
in Lanark County, Ontario. After
learning the lumber business in that
region he came to Minnesota in 1879
with his brother, Michael H. Foley,
who survives him. Together with two
other brothers, Thomas and John, they
entered into extensive operations in
the numbering business and had great
mills at Foley, Mimi, st. Cloud, For
reston and Milaca. In the early eight
les an office was opened in st. Paul.
Joining in the view of the late Arch
bishop Ireland, James J. Hill and other
noted pioneers, Mr.. Foley foresaw the
splendid material development of the
Northwest His various activities
radiated from st. Paul in every direc
ton and embraced large parts of Can
ada. Mr.. Foley with his brothers
early became interested in the rail
road contracting business and they
formed one of the largest firms in
that line of endeavor on this continent
The firm of Foley Brothers had a
large share in the building of prac
tically all the great railway lines in
the West and Northwest, as we'll as
in Canada.
At various times in his career Mr.
Foley held high positions of trust ir
railroad and banking circles. At the
time of his death he was president o

BLESSED ANNA TA|G|
VENERABLE ROMAN MATRON TO
BE SOLEMNLY BEATiFiED-
SANITY LIFE OF ROMAN
WOMAN

On Sunday, May 80, Venerable Anna
Taigi will be solemnly beatified in
Rome.
The Venerable Anna Maria Taigi,
Trinitarian Tertiary, who is to be
canonized tomorrow in Rome by Pope
Benedict, is remarkable not only for
the holiness of her life, but because OF
the fact that she is one of the stig-
matics of the 10Th century and made
several private prophecies concerning
the remote and proximate signs which
will precede the general judgment.
Anna Maria Gesualda Antonia was
born in Siena, Italy, on May 20, 1863.
Her parents, Luigi Giannetti and
Maria Mast, kept an apothecary shop
at Siena, but lost all their fortune
when Anna Maria was five years old
and were compelled to go to Rome to
seek a livelihood.
There was little remarkable about
the girls early life. She was married
on January 7, 1889, to Dominic Taigi,
a retainer of the noble family of Chigf.
1t was while kneeling in prayer with
her husband at the Confessio at st.
Peters that Anna Maria experienced
the inspiration which changed her
life. She began thereafter to pay little
attention to dress and devoted more
and more time to charitable and holy
works. All the money she could
spare she devoted to the poor and
miserable Yet despite her love for
the poor she did not neglect her own
family. Two of her children had died
young, but the others grew up in piety
under the care of their mother.
The whole family was wont to as
semble for prayer in private chapel
and here, later on, Mass was cele
brated by priest who dwelt with the
family.
Anna Maria, soon after her inspira
ton to renounce the vanities of life
was received publicly in the Third Or
der of the Trinitarians. She is sale
to have exercised a peculiar influence
over individuals and converted many
sinners, as much by her example al
| her advice
She died in Rome, June 9, 1887, ane
her remains are now at Trastevere il
that city.

TIMOTHY FOLEY, K. S. C., DEAD
Foley Brothers, wholesale grocers, and
the Flour State Baking Company.
Made x. S. G.

For great many years Mr. Foley
was a close friend and associate Of
Archbishop Ireland. He took an &C
tive and practical interest in many of
the great church undertakings of the
late prelate. In 1918, at the recon-
mendation of Archbishop Ireland, Mr..
Foley received the Order of Knight
hood of st. Gregory the Great. He was
one of four men in the Twin Cities
honored by Pope Benedict XIV at that
time.
In recent years Mr. Foley has donat-
ed freely and often to works of charity
and religion. The list of his benefac-
tions is not entirely known even to
his closest friends. During the many
long years in which he built railroads
throughout the West he was constant
ly appealed to by priests and bishops
for struggling parishes and schools in
the territories in which he was con-
structing lines. In every case the gen.
erous benefactor of religion opened
his heart and his purse freely and
willingly in the good cause. At cne
time he was one of the most liberal
contributors to the Cathedral at Van
couver, B. C. He also made generous
donations to the st. Paul Cathedral, as
we'll as to the campaign for the House
of the Good Shepherd in st. Paul sew
eral years ago.
A few among his many charitable
donations during recent years were
the following: the building and equip
ment of the Magdalen Monastery at
tached to the House of the Good Shep-
herd in this city, which was opened
and blessed last week; a parochial
school in the parish of the Blessed
Sacrament, and combination church
and school for the parish of St An
drew, St. Paul; 100000 towards pre-
paratory seminary at st. Thomas Col
lege. Recently he purchased, for
$4,000, the piece Of ground near the
new Cathedral, and he donated this
to the Diocese in order to protect the
view of the Cathedral.
We are able to state with authority
| that recently Mr.. Foley laid the foun-
dation for number of other charities
| the result of which will appear in the
near future. This he did in view of
| the great interest which he has man.
| ifested in the works of religion, char
| ity and education.
AS we go to press the funeral is an
nounced for Thursday of this week.

Mr.. AND MRS. TIMOTHY FOLEY
OF THIS CITY HAVE GIVEN
MUCH-NEEDED BUILDING TO SIS
TIERS OF GOOD SHEPHERD
STRUCTURE WAS BLESSED
LAST WEEK BY MOST REVER-
END ARCHBISHOP BOWLING.

Thursday afternoon, May 20, His
Grace Most Reverend Archbishop
Bowling solemnly blessed the new
Magdalen Monastery at the House of
the Good Shepherd in st. Paul. This
building which is just completed is
the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Foley
of this city. MI Foley died last Tues
day.
Building Is Blessed.
At 2:30 P. NJ, the Most Reverend
Archbishop blessed the new structure.
He was accompanied by Reverend Fa-
theirs Farrell, Odone, J. c. Byrne, Prin-
ton, and l.. T. Ryan. After the cere-
mony His Grace addressed the as
sembled Magdalens and the Sisters Of
the Community. He spoke feelingly
on the great work being accomplished
in this institution, and he asked his
hearers to ever remember in their
prayers and good works the splendid
generosity of the munificent donors
The Archbishop also blessed the
memorial tablet erected in the build
ing to perpetuate the generous bene-
factors. This tablet reads as follows:
Tribute of Gratitude
To
MIR. AND MRS. TIMOTHY FOLEY
Through whose munificent
Charity this Magdalen
Monastery has been
Erected, may Jesus the
Good Shepherd be their
Reward

BenGdictiOn of the Most Blessed
Sacrament then followed in the con-

Archbishop and visiting guests were
then entertained at lunch. Mr.. Clio
condo Giuliani was also present, rep
resenting the st. Paul Statuary Com
pany, that has presented beautiful
statlae OF tho immaculate Conception
to the House of the Good Shepherd.
The New Structure.
This new building which was so
sOrely needed is a magnificent struc-
ture. Up to the present the institu-
tion has been so crowded that both
the Magdalens and the Sisters of the
Good Shepherd have been obliged to
utilize several corridors for sleeping g
quarters. Now the Magdalens, forty
building of their own. Their joy and

A NEW MAGDALEN MONASTERY

gratitude at this unexpected gift are
reflected in their many daily prayers
and sacrifices for their great bene-
factors.
The new building is 124 feet long
and 80 feet wide. 1t is three stories in
height and has an ample and COM
modious basement and a large attic
which may in time be used for sleep
ing quarters. In the basement there is
a large dining room, an up-to-date
laundry, kitchen and other depart
mentS.
On the first floor large assembly
hall will easily accommodate one hun
dred persons. The sleeping quarters,
divided into small dOrmitories, are on
the second and third floors. These
dormitories provide accommodations
for from three to ten persons. The
equipment, though simple, is new and
thoroughly complete throughout the
building. The very latest in plumbing,
electric lighting and hard finish is
found on every floor. At present there
are sleeping quarters for seventy per-
sons.
One feature that appeals to the
Magdalens and the Sisters in a special
manner is the work room with electric
power machines. There is also beau
tiful library.
Work of MagdaIens.
1t may be here noted that these
Magdalens lead a strictly religious life
and follow rule and religious eXer-
cises like other nuns. Some of them
have been in the institution for a great
many years and have taken their final
vows. Their life is one of self-sacri
flee, piety and continuous acts of
sanctity. The spiritual joy that ami
mates their lives cannot be surpassed
anywhere.
1t may not be generally known that
the Magdalens excel in the very finest
kind of artistic work, painting, and
needle art especially. Their services
along this line are in demand by many
of the wealthiest families in st. Paul
and other parts of the country. They
make trOuSSeauS, ntanC layelS, ana
the finest garments of every kind.
Some of the high-class stores of mems
and women's furnishings in st. Paul
handle the product of these artistic
experts. -...-..-.
For many years the Sisters of the
Good Shepherd and the Magdalens
have prayed necessarily for generous
benefactor to come to their assistance
in the matter of new building. The
gift of Mr.. and Mrs. Foley was en-
tirely unexpected. A coincident was
found in the fact that the building was
blessed exactly one year from the day
on which Mr.. Foley visited the House
of the Good Shepherd to make plans
for the new structure.
