ARCHBISHOP IRELAND EDUcA-
TIoNAL FUND CORPORATION
ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR NEW
MlNARY-DETAlLS YET TO
BE SETTLED.

The collections on the Educational
Fund pledges have now arrived at a
point which justify the corporation
to guarantee the $15O,OOO endowment
stipulated by the late Timothy Foley
as condition for his gift of 100000
for the purposes of preparatory
seminary. 1t will be recalled that Mr.
Foley by a trust deed dated October
&c, 1918, placed securities of the par
value of 100000 in the hands of The
Foley Realty & Securities Company
as trustee, the trust to terminate at
the end of three years and the money
to be returned to his estate if the
diocese of st. Paul had not by that
time met the requirement of $150,O00
as an endowment fund. If, however,
then or sooner, il had demonstrated to
Mr.. Foley'S designated representative
that it had acquired the fund stipulat-
ed, then the trustee is empowered to
erect on grounds belonging to st.
Thomas College, a building for the use
and purposes of students of the col
1eSe who have it in mind to enter st.
Paul Seminary to study for the priest
hood 1t is further provided that such
a building must be erected either by
the Foley Brothers or by someone
whom they select on cost plus basis.

Consular Service, has just taken
place Mr. Claffey is an American by
birth, descended from Irish Catholic
stock. During the many years that he
has been Vice Council at Dublin he has
proved himself an official of unusual
tact and business efficiency. After
the Dublin rebellion of 1916, when the
Consulate entered on the most trying
period in it's history, Mr.. Claffey rem.
dered prompt service to American cit;
izens who were in danger of suffering
serious inconvenience ON account of
the prevailing troubles and the meas
ures they entailed.
A dramatic incident in which he
was concerned was the saving of the
life of Mr.. De Valera. The latter was
doomed to death for his part in the
rising. His Catholic baptismal certifi

BOOKS FOR THE SICK
ST. PAUL PUBLIC LIBRARY TO
REACH PATIENTS AND PER.
SoNNEL IN HOSPITALS.

The st. Paul Public library is about
to extend it's benefits to the fourteen
hospitals in this city. This service
will reach nurses, patients and per-
sonnel with appropriate books and
reading matter.
Such plan is in keeping with the
principle that pleasing distractions
form an important part in the recov-
cry of health; while works bearing
on medicines and nursing will be
placed at the disposal of both physi-
clans and nurses.
His Grace the Most Reverend Arch
bishop has commended the plan. In a
letter to the pastors Of the city he
expresses the wish that persons who
desire to donate books or reading
matter to this end may have an oppor-
tunity to do SO, by leaving them in
some designated place where they
will be called for by the library au-
thorities.

THE PREPARATORY SEMINARY

In the course of the last few days
Mr.. Edward Foley as representing the
Trust Company, has accepted the en-.
gagement of the Archbishop Ireland
Educational Fund to furnish on de.
mand the stipulated endowment Fund
and the Foley Brothers have entered
into a preliminary contract to build
a preparatory seminary.
In executing the terms of this trust
for other reasons, it has seemed wise
for the present that the preparatory
seminary should be held by the cor.
poration of st. Thomas College
though it's management will be quite
separate from that of the existing col
lege. While many things about the
preparatory seminary have yet to be
settled, it is at present announced
that this proposed institution will be
a boarding college and that it will be
situated somewhere in the vicinity of
the Twin Cities. 1t should make pro-
present time there are 1O3 boys at
st. Thomas College who would belong
in the Preparatory Seminary, and it
is anticipated that when it is opened,
there will be easily double that num-
ber of boys who will desire to study
for the priesthood. To provide for
so large number in a boarding
school will call for the expenditure
of very large amount of money. but
such is the interest and enthusiasm
of the Catholics of the diocese in
this work that those in charge have
no misgivings about finding the neces-
sary funds.

HOW FABRE DIED
NOTED SCIENTISTS LAST DAYS.
vIRGiL OF INSECTS SHOWN
TO HAVE DIED IN CATHOLIC
FAITH.
(By n. C. w. C. News Service.)

(By n. C. w. C. News Service.)
Interesting light on the conversion
and Christian death of J. Henri Fabre,
Virgil of Insects" is furnished in
the current number of the Revue Pra-
tiaue d'Apologetique. Fabre's re-
searches in the field of entomology
promise to bring natural science back
into it's true orbit, from which it
strayed under the influence of Darwin
and Huxley and Spencer in the nine
teenth century.
1t appears that, after the death of
Fabre's wife, in 1912, Sister Adrienne,
a religious of the Congregation of St
Roch de yiviers, who had nursed her
remained at the home of the famous
entomoiogist to attend to him. She
was invaluable, Fabre told Sister
Adrienne, and he loved religion as
she practiced it. She read the Cos
pels to him and spoke to him of the
sufferings of Christ. During his lone
nights of sleeplessness he ponderet
over what he had heard from stht
good Sister.
In the spring of 1914, the nonogen
arian's strength showed signs Of fail
ing, and he was visited by the Arch
bishop of Avignon, who afterward:
continued to write to Sister Adrienn'
letters which were source of grea
comfort and happiness to M. Fabre
The scientist had regained some o
his strength, but in the summer o
1915 it became apparent that he hal
not long to live.

into the district in quest of health,
and who had established friendly rela-
tions with the household, resolved to
speak seriously to M. Fabre on the
question of confession. To the

want, who seemed to have been ex
pecting some such invitation, humbly
acquiesced. when you like" he said.
After making his confession, NJ. Fa-
bre received the last saeraments, and
was conscious to the end. He pressed
the hand of the priest who was recit-
ing the recommendation of the depart
ing soul, and at the words, ''in manus
tuas, Domino" his lips moved as if
striving to pronounce an Amen of SUI
preme acceptance, while. his falling
eyes were fixed on Sister .Adrienne's
