Prophecy of St. MaIachy.-Mgr.
Farges, of Paris, in articles which he
is contributing to the Paris "CroiX,"
examines the historic evidence, pro
and con, regarding st. Malachy's pro-
phecy on the Popes, and says that
whilst weakness in the attacks of

at times astonishing harmony between

| plshed facts became more and more
| striking.

A Roman NobIe-The Duke Salvi-
| att, Don AntOninO, one of the best
known and most universally respected
| members of the ancient Roman nObil-
! ity, has passed away at his magnificent
| villa of MigliarinO, near Pisa. He was
| born in Paris in 1860, and was the son
| of Don ScipiOne, and of the Duchess
Arabela de Fitz James. His tastes
| and tendencies were those of an Eng
| lish country gentleman, and that is
perhaps the reason which induced him
| to sell the ancestral Salviau Palace
| on the COrsO, in order to give all his
| time and care to his tenants on the
| Migliarino estate. The duke built
model cottages for all his tenants. Civ
ing an example which it is to be hoped
will be followed by other large land
owners in Italy. During his last mo-
| ments he was comfOrted by a special
! blessing from the Holy Father.

dents interested in social and religious

| martyrdom. The Pope implored the
| blessings of God on the students and
their studies; on their college, and on
the new rector, that true family
spirit of charity may reign in it; on
