A "Who" Among Catholic Publications
The tDa^nificat
An Illustrated Monthly Published by the
Sisters of Mercy, and Blessed by
His Holiness, Pope Pius X.
The complimentary notices of the press tell the reason of its rapid
growth in public favor. On the other side of the Atlantic the "Dean
of Iviterary Workers," Rev. Matthew Russell, S. J., tells the readers of
the September Irish Monthly:
An excellent magazine is The Magnificat, which is published at 435
Union Street, Manchester, New Hampshire, U. S. A. It is the neatest maga-
zine we are acquainted with, and only a dollar a year, though of quite stately
dimensions; and its contents are marked by great variety and high literary
merit. Its cheapness is a marvel to us, for we have always understood that
printing is more expensive in the States.
And at home, in the September issue also, the editor of the excellent
Christian Family is kind enough to say:
The Magnificat, published at Manchester, N. H., bids fair to outrank
all its fellows as an ideal Catholic magazine. The Editor seems to have the
rare faculty of gathering around her the sprightliest writers to be found.
There is never a dull page in the entire magazine, and the Book Notes are
real reviews, not a glance at the title and author, and a few general remarks
such as we have come to expect from the generality of reviews. The price is
ridiculously low for such a high-class periodical, being only $1.00 a year.

Dear Miss Curtis:
I am most pleased to learn that your new work, " The American Cath-
olic Who's Who," is soon to be published, and knowing as I do of the
great success your recent admirable work, "Roads to Rome," met with,
I feel sure that this, your latest effort, will be rewarded with the success
it deserves.
I take pleasure in recommending it as a work eminently useful and of
great interest not only to Catholics, but to the public at large.
Most faithfully yours in Xto.,
J. Card. Gibbons,
Archbishop of Baltimore.
EDITOE'S PREFACE.
When the Editor of the A. C. W. W. was a little girl, one of her fa-
vorite books, found in her grandfather's library, was Lodge's Peerage.
For its titles, degrees, dates she cared nothing, but what captivated the
child's imagination was its history; its account of what people had done.
When, in later years, that fascinating biography, the English Catholic
Who's Who, fell into her hands, it recalled the earlier and beloved book.
Therefore it did not seem strange that she should consent, when she was
asked by several ecclesiastics whose opinion she valued, to undertake the
compiling and editing of an American Catholic Who's Who. The only
hesitation on her part was for fear her physical and mental equipment
would not be equal to the task. Viewed in the aggregate it seemed on
too large a scale to be undertaken, but the Editor saw from the beginning
that like all great enterprises the work only needed to be classified and
systematized in order to sim^plify it. A plan was drawn up, carefully
considered, and adhered to step by step throughout a period of twenty-
one months, during which eight thousand Catholics received a notice ask-
ing for their record. Nearly all the sketches finally accepted for publication
were, therefore, obtained at first hand; about one-fourth being received
through Catholic agents in different parts of the country. These records
have been cast, in their essentials, in a certain form, while at the same
time some scope has been allowed for the narrative style, as in the valuable
English Catholic Who's Who; the Editor believing that by so doing the
book would be made more interesting than if it were a mere dry recital
of facts and dates.
Difficulties, obstacles, and disappointments were not lacking as the work
progressed. There were those who thought they saw in it pride, vanity,
and worldliness; others insisted it was to be a mere social register; still
others, who knew they ought not to be left out, refused to go in the book;
a fourth class were those who were utterly indifferent to the whole scheme.
Again and again, through the Catholic press of the country, whose Edi-
tors with only three exceptions lent to the book intelligent comprehen-
EDITOE'S PREFACE
sion and noble support, the Editor of the A. C. "W. W. has stated what
the work is, and what it is not ; that it is designed not to exploit the indi-
vidual as such, but to individualize him in order to show in the concrete —
to each other and to the non-Catholic world — what Catholics have done
and are doing to add to the prestige, dignity, and power of the Church.
In its completed form the book tells of noble effort, of men and women
who have frequently risen from humble beginnings to positions of honor
and influence, of those with a better start in life who have used their
position and talents for the highest purposes; it tells, also, of many an
ancient Catholic lineage on which to look back with gratitude and pride;
of those who have entered the Church, overcoming peril and obstacle. To
the Editor, through whose hands passed all these many records, the work
has been from the first Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam; and it is in this sense
that the work is now launched.
Because it is of the American people, the A. C. W. W. is cosmopolitan.
It embraces diverse types of Americans, and includes a few foreigners who
are our devoted friends. The one question asked, and as far as possible an-
swered throughout the work, has been : " Is this a person whom Catho-
lics, and we may say non-Catholics, will want to know about and ought to
know about ? '^
The Editor wishes first to record her grateful thanks and appreciation
to her friend, collaborator and adviser in this work, Mr. William Stetson
Merrill (A.B., Harvard), of the I^ewberry Library, Chicago, whose judg-
ment, prudence, and business ability went far toward making the work a
success. It was the Editor's desire to name him as co-Editor ; this he posi-
tively declined, on the ground that he had not done enough work and
planning to warrant it; nevertheless, without his staunch support, both
moral and material, the Editor knows it would have been impossible to
carry on her task. Her special thanks are also due to Mr. C. C. Copeland,
and Mr. Charles A. Mair of Chicago, whose generosity and material help
made it possible to carry on the financial part of the work.
There is a long list of those who should be publicly thanked, for encour-
agement and support, and for helping to get names and sketches of people
for the book. Among the Hierarchy and Reverend clergy are: His Emi-
nence Cardinal Gibbons; the Most Reverend Archbishops, Ireland of St.
Paul, Farley of ^NTew York, and Glennon of St. Louis ; the Right Reverend
Bishops Allen of Mobile, Gandgan of Sioux City, and Guertin of Man-

Hon. Joseph A. Chisholm, Mayor of Halifax, who rendered valuable aid

Among foreign contributors the Editor is indebted to Mr. Charles Fisk
Beach and Madame A. Morel, of Paris, to three others in England, Bel-
gium, and Italy, who prefer to remain unknown, and to Messrs. Burns and
Gates, of London.
Since this work was begun, some of the people who sent in their records
have died ; these sketches the Editor decided to publish, with the announce-
ment of the person's decease.
In compiling the clergy list, the Editor felt that the devotion and self
sacrifice of the priesthood entitled them all to mention in the Catholic
Who's Who, but as this was impossible because of their number, and as
they are all listed in the Catholic Directory, it was decided not to go
below the rank of Monsignor and Very Reverend, except where a priest
was an author, educator, scientist, musician, missionary, or had followed

lar parochial duty.
In conclusion the Editor asks that those who note any errors in the
book will correct them; and that all who are interested will send their
own records, or sketches of their friends, for a second edition. The first
edition, full as it is, contains many omissions; these it is hoped will be

supplied after the book is out, and its character and value as a reference
work become known.
All such communications can be sent direct to her or through the pub-
lishers.
To the Catholic public this work is now entrusted by the Editor. If it
meets with a kindly reception her labor will not have been in vain.

HIS HOLINESS POPE PIUS X
JOSEPH SAKTO.
Bishop of Eome; Vicar of Jesus Christ; two hundred and sixty-fourth
successor of St. Peter; Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church; Patri-
arch of the West; Primate of Italy; Archbishop and Metropolitan of the
Eoman Province ; Sovereign of the Temporal Dominions of the Holy Eoman
Church.
B. at Riese, near Venice, June 2, 1835; grandfather was a soldier in
the Papal Army under Pope Gregory XVI. Ed. at Treviso and Padua;
ordained priest September 18, 1858; Chancellor, 1875; Vicar Capitular,
1877; consecrated Bishop of Mantua, November 10, 1884; created Cardinal
and Patriarch of Venice, June 15, 1893 ; his appointment to the patriarchate
gave rise to a dispute with the Italian Government, which claimed the right,
as successor of the Republic of Venice, to nominate the Patriarch; this
claim was not allowed by the Holy See, and the personal qualities of Mon-
signor Sarto finally won over the Government. In the administration of
his important diocese he showed himself a strong and competent prelate,
reforming a number of abuses, and winning the love and veneration of all
his people, especially by his devotion to the poor, and the modesty and sim-
plicity of his life.
On August 4, 1903, he was elected Pope, and five days later was crowned
Supreme Father of the Universal Church. He entered upon his pontificate
with the reputation of being not only a deeply religious man and wise
administrator, but of a learned scholar and friend of the arts. Passion-
ately devoted to music. His Holiness has sought to raise Church music to
the highest plane; it was through him that Don Luigi Perosi, the priest
composer, was first brought to public attention.
Pius X is also Prefect of the Congregation of the Holy Eoman and
Universal Inquisition, or Holy Office of the Consistorial Congregation;
Pro-Eector of the Church and Chapter of S.S. Celsus and Julianus;
Pro-Eector of the whole Order of St. Benedict; of the Order of Friars
Minor; of the Archconfraternities of the Via Crucis; of the Lovers of
Christ and Mary; of the Sacred Stigmata of St. Francis; and of the Order
of Preachers. Eesidence : The Vatican, Eome.

hospital, N. Y. She dwelt in the slums

appalled the stoutest heart. On the
death of her husband, Mrs. Lathrop se-
cured a home on Cherry street. New

for afflicted souls. But so rapidly did
the field of work widen, so many poor
incurables daily turned out of the hos-

Hawthorne in Westchester County, was
secured, and a community under the
Rule of the Third Order of St. Dominic
was formed to aid her in her Christ-like
work. No one is received if he can
afford to pay. This charity is for those
who are pronounced incurable and
turned out of the hospitals, and is

AVERY, Mrs. Martha Gallison (Moore) :
Author, lecturer, educator. Socialist;
convert to the Church; b. April 6, 1851,
in Steuben, Me.; d. of A. K. P. Moore.
Her ancestors were among the pioneer
settlers of Massachusetts, the eastern
portion of which later became the State
of Maine. On her father's side she is
Irish, Scotch and Dutch; on her mother's
she is English. A four-fold stream of
Revolutionary blood flows in her veins,
Major John Moore of Bunker Hill fame
being one of her kinsmen. Prior to the
War of the Rebellion Greneral Samuel
Moore, her grandfather, was a dominant
factor in state politics for half a century.
Ed. at the public schools, she regards her
fifteen years of intellectual discipline
under a master in Cosmic Law as her
most valuable period of study, one that
later led her to the door of the Catholic
Church, which she entered on May 1,
1904, being baptized by Rev. Father
O'Sullivan, S.J., at the Church of the
Immaculate Conception, Boston, Mass.
Mrs. Avery entered public life as a char-
ter member of the First Nationalist Club
of Boston, which was made up of such
distinguished men and women as Rev.
Edward Everett Hale, Mrs. Mary A. Liv-
ermore, etc. Carrying the principles of
the " Nationalization of Industry and
thereby the Promotion of the Brother-
hood of Man " to their logical expression,
Mrs. Avery became a Socialist. For
seven years she was Director of the
Karl Marx class that taught the eco-
nomics of Socialism. Later the class be-
THE AMEKICAN CATHOLIC WHO'S WHO
came known as the Boston School of
Political Economy. Mrs. Moore-Avery
is acknowledged as an authority upon
the philosophy, the history, the economic
theory, and the tactics of International
Socialism, and as a master in the sci-
ence of Political Economy. In an edi-
torial in The Outlook, March 20, 1909,
ex-president Hoosevelt recommends a
book of which Mrs. Moore- Avery is the
author in collaboration with David Gold-
stein, a convert and one of her economic
students, " Socialism: The Nation of
Fatherless Children." During the twelve
years of her membership in the Socialist
parties, Mrs. Avery was constantly in
the lecture field, aiding the cause by
voice and pen, until (in 1903) she was
led to recognize that in the world of
practical matters Socialism is the anti-
Christ, as Modernism is the anti-Christ
in the world of theoretical conception.
One year later she became a member of
the Church. At present she is the head
of the Boston School of Political Econ-
omy, training a group of brilliant young
men to meet the erroneous arguments
and the sophistical statements of So-
cialist propaganda. As a lecturer she is
cited by the press of New York as
being " wonderfully eloquent," and by
that of Massachusetts as " one of the
greatest woman orators of the world."
She is a contributor to the National
Civic Federation Review, to Social Jus-
tice; writes special editorials for The
Boston Traveler; has very near com-
pletion a book entitled " Twenty-five So-
cialists Answered," besides the MS. of a
work on the Primal Principles of Po-
litical Economy. M. in 1880 to Millard

BEDDING, Thomas:
Editor; b. in London, England. Came
to the United States, and now resides
in New York City, where his business
interests lie in that new, interesting,
and (when rightly directed) instructive
entertainment, known as the moving pic-
ture show. Its growth in New York and
the rest of the country has been rapid.
In the great metropolis there are over
five hundred of these places already
(1910) established, and there is every
prospect that the number will be doubled
in the next decade. The business has its
organ, a weekly publication called The
Moving Picture World, of which Mr. Bed-
ding is the editor. It is said on most
reliable authority that the company or
companies financing these shows pay
Mr. Edison $10,000 every week for the
use of one of his inventions necessary to
the successful operation of the pictures.
As this is, of course, only one of the
items of expense, some idea may be
formed of the weekly and annual cost
of this kind of entertainment, which di-
rectly or indirectly afi'ects the manufac-
turers of " animated photographs," as
they are called in the trade, illustrated
songs, lantern lectures, and slide-makers.

the instructors in Catholic schools. From
the first the Archbishops and Bishops
of the United States approved and en-
couraged the work, and the Catholic
teachers were brought together in large
numbers from distant states and from
nearly all the Teaching Orders. She
had as assistants some of the ablest
Catholic teachers in the country — thirty-
two in all formed the faculty. In
places where the attendance warranted
and the Superiors desired, graded in-
stitutes were held. In all cases the in-
stitute was held under the auspices of
the Ordinary of the Diocese. Large in-
stitutes were held in New York City,
in nearly every state in the United
States, and later in Canada. She orig-
inated improved methods of teaching in
the Sunday Schools where the work was
done chiefly by lay teachers. The sub-
ject was taken up at the Catholic Sum-

Christian Doctrine Conferences have been
held nearly every season. Gave talks
and lectures at the Catholic Summer
School; Madison, Wis.; Detroit, Mich.;
and at the Catholic Winter School, New

continue the work because of ill health,
since which time she has only occasion-
ally addressed the institutes. In 1889

Catholic publishers, D. H. McBride &
Co. In January, 1900, appeared the first
number of The Sunday Companion, a

CAMARIILO, Juan E.:
B. April 10, 1870, San Buenaventura;
s. of Juan Camarillo, who emigrated to
California from Mexico in 1834, and be-
came a trader with the Indians between
San Francisco and San Diego, disposing
of their wares and receiving currency
therefor. The hospitable mission fathers
gave him a room in which to lodge, and
there the Indians came and transacted
their business. With the funds thus real-
ized, amounting to about $3,000, he
opened a store in Santa Barbara. He
married Senorita Martina Altagrazia
Herndudez in 1840, and in 1852 moved
to San Buenaventura. Juan Camarillo
was educated at St. Vincent's College,
Cal., and later devoted his attention to
agriculture and business; is one of the
large land owners of California, and
identified in an oflficial capacity with
nearly every banking institution in the
county; is a Director of the First Na-
tional Bank of Ventura, the Home Sav-
ings Bank, and also of the Ojai State
Bank at Nordhoff. Last summer he
deeded to Rt. Rev. Bishop Conaty, for
school purposes, the old Camarillo home-
stead in Buenaventura, and he is now
planning to build near his home at
Camarillo a chapel as a memorial to his
parents. This chapel will be for the
benefit of all Catholics living in that
part of the country. Mr. Camarillo is
a Knight of Columbus, and one of the
leaders of the Order in California; is Past
President of Cabrillo Parlor Native Sons
of the Golden West, a trustee of the Ben.
Prot. Order of Elks of Santa Barbara,
and President of American Latin Union
No. 1. Has made a number of trips to
Rome, and on each occasion was granted
an audience by the Pope. Upon his last
visit, the Holy Father removed from his
head the white silk cap (called the
solideum) which he was wearing, and
presented it to Mr. Camarillo as a
souvenir of his visit. The latter pre-
sented this cap to the Knights of Co-
lumbus, of Oxnard, upon his return
home. His house is much admired for
its beauty, and contains many paintings
and rare curios gathered from all parts
of the world, as well as a collection of
Indian relics, many of them the handi-
work of tribes now extinct. The Indian
Cap of Penance, used to designate an
Indian who had been guilty of crime, is
in this collection. It is made in the
shape of a fool's cap, and from the roots
of an herb, so finely woven into a net,
that it has the appearance of leather.

CAPEL, Right Rev. Mgr. Thomas John:
B. in 1836; ordained by Cardinal Wise-
man, 1858; co-founder of the Training
College for School Masters at Hammer-
smith, London; was its Vice Principal,
1856-60; at the end of the latter year
ill health prevented him from accepting
the proffered principalship. He retired
to Pau in the Pyrenees and here estab-
lished an English speaking mission, of
which he was Chaplain, 1860-68. His
lecture on Bishop Colenso's works, and
on Catholic doctrines attracted the Prot-
estant public; the conversion of Lady
and Miss Duncan, of Mrs. Wave, grand-
daughter of the Bishop of Exeter, of
Miss Wilmot Chetwode the authoress,
and of the Episcopalian clergyman. Rev.
Harrington Moore, made him still more
prominent. With restored health he re-
turned to England and was appointed
to missionary work by Cardinal Man-
ning. December 24, 1868, he received into
THE AMEKICAN CATHOLIC WHO'S WHO
81
the Church the Marquess of Bute in the
Chapel of the Sisters of Notre Dame,
Southwark, in the presence of the Bishop
of the diocese, Right Rev. T. Grant,
an event which gained for him a place
in the pages of Lothair as Mgr. Catesby,
and once by a slip of Disraeli's under
his own name. His sermons and doc-
trinal lectures delivered in London pul-
pits, especially in that of the old Pro-
Cathedral Kensington, and one series in
Rome during the Vatican Council, made
him one of the most widely popular
of preachers. He was named Domestic
Prelate to Pius IX, 1873, in which year
he founded the Catholic Public School,
Kensington. From 1874-78, he was Rec-
tor of the Catholic University College
just established by the Bishops of Eng-
land. As financial support for the latter
Institution could not be obtained, Mon-
signor Capel, having exhausted his own
resources, resigned his position, Car-
dinal Manning writing to him next day:
" I know and bear witness that you have
strained yourself even beyond your
strength." For a while the Catholic Pub-
lic School continued, but was closed at
a later period. In 1883 he came to the
United States, preached and lectured in
the chief cities and at length settled in
California, accepting the Tutorship of
Pio Valensin in the McCauly Valensin
family at Arno, where he makes his
home, but doing missionary work from
the Cathedral of Sacramento as a center.
In England he has published Reply to
Gladstone's Vaticanism, and Ought the
Queen of England to hold Diplomatic Re-
lations with the Pope (both published by
Longmans, Green & Co.) ; Catholic (eight
editions) ; The Pope, the Vicar of Christ

Sang in the Jesuit Church, New York,

in regard to church choirs, since which
time her soprano voice has been heard
in the concert halls of America, Berlin,
London, and the principal towns of Eng-
land, which she, with her sister, Grazia,
toured with Patti in 1907. An Eng-
lish newspaper said of them: The Sig-
nore Carbone make music primarily for
musicians. The quality of her voice was
pronounced pure lyric ecstasy, while her
sister's was spiritual, rich and deep.
Max Bruch, German composer, has as-
sociated the names of the sisters with
the music of religion, by composing for
their voices a duet entitled The Cross,
sung for the first time at Queen's Hall,
London, 1907.

CRAWFORD, Francis Marion:
Novelist; b. 1854, in Tuscany; s. of
Thomas Crawford the sculptor; ed. St.
Paul's School, Concord, I>J. H.; Trinity
College, Cambridge, and at the Roman
University. Spent four years in the East
as a journalist, and edited The Indian
Herald at Allahabad, 1879-80, during
which time he is said to have conceived
the plot for his famous novel, Mr. Isaacs,
first published in 1882. More than thirty
novels followed this first one, showing
Mr. Crawford as a wonderful student of
men and women (and their environment),
in different countries and of different
races. Whether in America, as in The
Three Fates; in England, as in The Tale
of a Lonely Parish; in Germany, as in
Greifenstein, or in his numerous Roman
sketches, Mr. Crawford was equally at
home. There was not a shade of the
Italian character, north or south, that
was not faithfully reproduced by him. In
Ave Roma Immortalis and Salve Venezia
we have a lasting picture, afmost a
THE AMERICAN CATHOLIC WHO'S WHO

classic, of historic Rome, and the Queen
City, Venice. Received into the Cath-
olic Church in 1894, Mr. Crawford
never failed to show by voice and pen,
his profound admiration for the late
Pontiff, Leo XIII. On being asked
shortly before his untimely death in
April, 1909, to write the story of his con-
version for Some Roads to Rome in
America, he, after some hesitation de-
clined, while expressing to the Editor his
deeply abiding conviction of the truth and
claims of the Catholic Church.

to Lincoln Coimty, New Mexico, where
he secured employment on a sheep ranch;
was next a post-trader at Fort Stanton
in Lincoln County, going from there to
Trinidad, Col., thence to Raton, return-
ing to Lincoln County in 1885, when he
entered the employment of James J. Do-
lan, wliolesale and retail merchant, and
became manager of the business; deputy

and Thornton. In April, 1898, at the

Riders, and shortly afterwards was pro-
moted to captain. Upon returning from

estate business at Tularosa, New Mexico,
and upon the creation of Otero County
in March, 1899, was appointed sheriff of

the American troops south of Manila;
stationed at Naic, Cavite upon return;
appointed provost marshal and provost
judge of that district; in June, 1900,

which command he continued until the
regiment was ordered home to be mus-
tered out in 1901; ordered back to the
Camarines, and served on staff of the

ince of Ambos Camarines; on June 30,
1901, was honorably mustered out of the
service as U. S. oflficer, and appointed as
governor of the same province by Gov-

of the city of Manila, where he organized
the first civil police force under the
American government; served in this
position until August, 1902, when he re-
signed to accept the management of

the Spring of 1904 returned to the Phil-
ippines and was appointed governor of
the Province of Isabella by Governor
General Wright, resigning in April, 1905,
to accept the appointment as Governor
of Samar, which was at that time the
most turbulent island in the Philippines,
and which was then causing the Amer-

accepting the governorship of the Island
of Samar, he was given a free hand by
the Governor General and received the
hearty co-operation of the military de-
partment in establishing law and order.

extent that at the expiration of two years
civil government was established and the
people allowed to elect their own officers.

DALY, Arnold (Peter Christopher Ar-

Actor; b. October 4, 1875, in Brooklyn,
N. Y.; s. of Joseph J. and Mary Daly,
natives of Ireland. The parents of George
Bernard Shaw, the Irish playwright, in
whose plays Mr. Daly achieved his most
noteworthy successes, were their intimate
friends. Mr. Daly was educated at the
Academy of the Sacred Heart and St.
Patrick's Academy, Brooklyn. His first
theatrical engagement was as call boy
at the old Lyceum Theater; his first
part that of a butler in a play in which
Fanny Rice was starring; played minor
parts until he came into prominence
through his impersonation of Chambers
in Frank Mayo's production of Pudd'n-
head Wilson. Prior to his taking up the
Shaw plays, Mr. Daly achieved successes
in Because She Loved Him So, The Bird
in the Cage, Barbara Frietche, in which
Julia Marlowe was the star; Self and
Lady, Are You a Mason ? When We Were
Twenty-One, Lady Margaret, Hearts
Aflame, Cynthia, The Girl from Dixie,
and Secret Service. On December 9, 1903,
he produced Shaw's Candida for a single
matinee at the Princess Theater. The
success of both play and actor was so
marked that Mr. Daly and Winchell
Smith formed a partnership to produce
the play at the Berkeley Lyceum. There
Candida ran for more than 150 nights.
Mr. Daly followed it with the Shaw plays,
The Man of Destiny, and How He Lied
to Her Husband, the latter a travesty
on Candida, written by Shaw expressly
for Mr. Daly. The next Shaw production
was You Never Can Tell, which had as
long a run. Then came John Bull's
Other Island. In the fall of 1907 Mr.
Daly founded the Theater of Ideas at the
Berkeley Lyceum, N. Y., playing three
one-act plays there each night. This he
abandoned, and in December, 1907, ap-
peared in a revival of Candida. M. July

DE ROO, Her. P.:
Member of the Archaeological Club of
the Land Van Waes and of the United
States Catholic Historical Society; Hon-
orary member of the American Catholic
Historical Society of Philadelphia.
Father De Roo is best known as the
author of a two-volume work on the
History of America Before Columbus, a
work which he was led to undertake
while engaged in other historical studies
in the Vatican Archives. In his search
for information concerning Pope Alex-
ander VI, he occasionally met with un-
published records having to do with the
religious history of America before the
Spanish discovery, and was induced, in
consequence, to begin the long series of
labors which resulted in the publication
of his history. Father De Roo began his
missionary labors in Oregon nearly forty
years ago, and, in the pursuit of his
priestly duties, traveled much of the
Northwest before the advent of railroads
or any other roads worthy of mention.
In September, 1908, he resigned the pas-
torate of St. Joseph's Church, Portland,
owing to ill-health and advancing years,
and is now retired from active pastoral
work. He has accumulated a large
amount of historical material which has
not yet been prepared for publication.

that there is no white slavery question
in Boston so far as the immigrant Irish
girl is concerned, no matter what her
creed. It is not an exclusive Catholic
society, in fact at the outset no Catholic
was eligible to hold office, but its his-
tory and years and records of work

Director in organizing several important
business enterprises, and Chambers of
Commerce. Prominent in politics almost
from boyhood, he was invited, when only
nineteen years of age, to canvass several
of the northern states in behalf of Gen-
eral Grant, and although he declined this
invitation on account of his youth, and
official duties as private Secretary to the
Governor, he made several speeches in
his own state. He has always been ac-
tive in promoting the extension of pop-
ular education, and the protection of
individual rights against corporate ag-
gression. During his term of office as
a Justice of the Supreme Court, he was
compelled to study the principles of law
and of public policy, but aside from his
Judicial Opinions, perhaps his most im-
portant public utterances were his ad-
dress on Trade Combinations and Strikes
delivered at Catholic Columbian Congress
at Chicago Exposition in 1893, and his
short address against granting alimony
in divorces a vinculo delivered before
the ' Universal Congress of Jurists and
Lawyers at the St. Louis Exposition

DRURY, Rev. Edwin:
Priest, missionary, author; b. June
16, 1845, near Knottsville, Ky. His an-
cestors were among the Catholic settlers
of Maryland in the Seventeenth Cen-
tury. Some of them may have reached
Maryland on the Ark. and the Dove.
His father, Hilary Drury, was bom in
Maryland, 1799, and came to Kentucky
in 1808. His mother, Teresa Coomes,
was born in Kentucky, 1807. His ma-
ternal grandfather, Francis Coomes, after
leaving Maryland, tarried several years
in Virginia and North Carolina, and
came to Kentucky with all his family
about 1795. It is interesting to note
how fruitful the grace of religious voca-
tions has been in this family. Rev. John
Wathen, Rev. Charles I. Coomes, and
Rev. A. A. Aud, were grandsons of Fran-
cis Coomes, and Archbishop Montgomery
of San Francisco was but one degree
farther removed in direct line of descent.
The family is still represented among
the priests of Kentucky by Rev. Edwin
Drury, Rev. Louis H. Spalding, Rev.
Celestine Brey and Rev. Lucien Clements.

GAYNOR, Hon. William J.:
Jurist; Mayor of New York; b. 1851,
at Whitestone, N. Y.; received his early
education at the Assumption Academy,
Utica, N. Y., and through the influence
of Brother Justin, Superior of the acad-
emy, was induced to enter the order of
the Christian Brothers; went to Boston,
taught for one year, then left the Order;
returned home and entered the White-
stone Seminary. After a course of study
there he entered the office of Judge Ward
Hunt, at Utica, N. Y., to study law;
admitted to the bar (1875) ; elected Jus-
tice, Supreme Court of New York, 1893;
re-elected, 1907; fought corruption in
high and low places, and although al-
ways a Democrat, declared himself a bit-
ter foe of the ring power in that party;
secured the conviction for election frauds,
of McKane, a notorious and powerful
boss; Mayor of New York, January,
1910. In August, 1910, an unsuccessful
attempt on the life of Mayor Gaynor
called forth from men of all classes, ir-
respective of party, a magnificent tribute
to his stainless integrity, honor, and
freedom from political corruption. Wil-
liam Travers Jerome, always a scathing
critic, says that he had opposed the elec-
tion of Mr. Gaynor, but he now thought
him one of the best mayors, if not the
best, the city has ever had. The Phila-
delphia Record (Democratic) says that
he has been teaching mayors all over the
country what can be done to break rings,
to oust rascals, and to secure efficiency
and some degree of economy in the pub-
lic service. Some of the reforms of the
Gaynor administration, accomplished in
less than a year, have been: Removal
of the aqueduct board and order to the
new board to wind up the business, sav-
ing in commissioners' and engineers' sal-
aries annually $200,000. One hundred
and twenty engineers, foremen, and la-
borers dismissed from the water depart-
ment, saving annually $185,000. Twenty
heads of bureaus and laborers dismissed

Manhattan, saving annually $80,000.

Park department, saving annually $110,-

with no fixed duty, dismissed from fire

sons dismissed from the department of
buildings aaid offices, saving annually
$20,000. In the highway department
494 men were laid off for the winter
months, saving $100,000. By the reor-
ganization of the bureau of street open-
ings and the abolishment of an anti-
quated system the city will save an-
nually an amount it is impossible to
estimate, but which the Mayor says is
millions. Address: 20 Eighth Ave.,

GERRER, Rev. R. Gregory, O.S.B.:
Artist; b. July 23, 1867, in Lauten-
bach, Elsass, Germany; came to America
four years later with his parents, who
settled first near St. Joseph, Mo., and
then at Bedford, Iowa. Entered the
Benedictine Monastery of the Sacred
Heart, Oklahoma, in 1890; ordained to
the priesthood in St. Mary's Abbey,
Buckfast, England. Gifted with a talent
for painting, his art was cultivated, first
in America, and later his superiors sent
him abroad. He studied mostly in Rome,
under Professor Guiseppe Gonnella, Ciro
Galliazzi, and S. Nobili of the Vatican,
making a special study of the Old Mas-
ters and sketching from nature; leaving
Italy, he traveled through France, Ger-
many, Austria, Switzerland, Greece,
Syria, Palestine, and Egypt. After
completing his studies, and before re-
turning to the United States, he was
accorded the rare privilege of painting
His Holiness Pope Pius X. The por-
trait was received with much favor at
the Vatican and by the art critics at
Rome, and the Holy Father was pleased
to greet Father Gerrer as his priest
artist. A duplicate of this painting was
made for the Vatican (until that time
the only one that had been accepted).
In 1908, Father Gerrer made a nine
months' trip through the West Indies,
Bahama Islands, and Florida, where he
sketched the scenery and fruits of the
tropics. It is his ambition to paint re-
ligious subjects, though up to the pres-
ent time he has confined himself to por-
traits. Some of his paintings that may
be seen in Chicago are portraits of Br.
J. B. Murphy, Dr. Edwards, and S. C.
Scotten; also Judge Clinton Irwin at
Elgin, 111. Address: Sacred Heart Mis-

his presentation of the subject in 1906
and 1907, by public addresses and writ-

it up, resulting in the enactment of the

rying on local work among the colored
people and to maintain Industrial

Contributed to Catholic press for past
30 years on matter particularly relating
to young men's societies and the lay
apostolate. Mr. Harson believes that
as the most potent constructive in-
fluences in the past were, ( 1 ) the princi-
ple of obedience, and (2) the found-
ing of religious communities; so, in
the future, the potent constructive in-
fluences will be, (1) the principle of
co-operation, more especially between
priest and people, and (2) an intelligent
development of social life in connection
with all Church interests. Address:

HOEGAN", Stephen Henry:
Editor, inventor, author, photographer;
b. February 2, 1854, at Norfolk, Va.;
his father was a native of Cork, Ire-
land, and his mother was born in Sligo,
Ireland, though her ancestors came from
the North of England; m. Mary Cath-
erine Cecelia O'Connor, daughter of a
convert. Ed. at the primary schools in
Cork; grammar school in Nyack-on-the-
Hudson; St. Francis Xavier's College,
New York. In 1874 he won in a com-
petition for an expert photographer on
the New York Daily Graphic ; here he
remained until 1884, invented the process
of photo-lithography which was used
there from 1877 until the paper stopped;
also invented, while on the Graphic, a
method of half-tone illustrating which
was used first on March 4, 1881, the
first half-tone in the world to be used
in a newspaper; resigned from the
Graphic to introduce illustrations into
the plate service of the American Press
Association, where it is said he sup-
plied 32,000 illustrations to 10,000 dif-
ferent papers, thus setting the style for
newspaper illustration and also popu-
larizing it; first art editor of the Re-
corder; art editor of the New York
Herald, introducing half-tone engraving
and color illustrating to that paper;
after installing illustrations as a fea-
ture of the Herald he was dismissed by
THE AMEEICAN CATHOLIC WHO'S WHO
295
Mr. Bennett. In 1881 he had invented a
method of applying photography to etch-
ing and steel engraving; many etchings
by Hubert Herkomer, F. S. Church, Rob-
ert Blum, and others, were made by his
process, which he applied in his busi-
ness; resumed newspaper illustrating on
the New York Morning Journal; when
John R. McLean of the Cincinnati En-
quirer bought that paper he taught him
the use of illustrations. About this
time he invented a method of newspaper
illustrating by the three-color process.
In 1896 he went on the New York
Tribune and there invented and patented
a method of using half-tone cuts on
the newspaper which forced other papers
into it until that system of illustrating
has gone around the world; is known
as the Father of half-tone illustrating
on the newspapers. In 1906 he started
a paper in Newark, The Monitor, of
which he was, for a time, managing edi-
tor. Mr. Horgan was granted five pat-
ents for his inventions connected with
the printing press; one invention of his
on which he did not seek a patent, is
used in every illustrated paper in the
world. Since 1895 he has been the edi-
tor of the department of Process En-
graving for the Inland Printer of Chi-
cago. He is an enthusiast on the power
of the press, and has laid plans for a
Catholic daily newspaper in New York.

IRELAND, Most Rev. John, D.D.:
Archbishop of St. Paul; b. in Ireland
1838, and came to the United States
in boyhood; studied for the priesthood
in France, and was ordained in 1861. A
man marked out by his talents from the
beginning, he passed through aome of
the most arduous campaigning of the
Civil War as Chaplain to the 5th Min-
nesota Regt. After a term of duty as
Rector of the Cathedral, St. Paul, he was
consecrated in 1875 Bishop-Coadjutor of
that Diocese, and became its chief ruler
in 1884. In 1888 his See was raised to
Metropolitan rank, and in 1889 he se-
cured the further development of the
Hierarchy in the North West by the erec-
tion of the new sviffragan Sees of Sioux
Falls, St. Cloud, Winona, Duluth and
Jamestown. A man of large views and
an all-round lover of such freedom as
American citizenship carries, the Arch-
bishop stands in the United States for
all the causes and ideals that elevate a
nation. His Grace has always taken a
firm stand as an advocate of total ab-
stinence. His early training in France
has given him a special insight into
such controversies as arose when
French formalism made its attack on the
new phases of what was dubbed Amer-
icanism in apparent ignorance of the
existence of an idealistic school of Cath-
olic thought in all ages and among all
peoples. A contributor to such periodi-
cals as the North American Review upon
questions of the day and the attitude of
the Church toward them. Address:

THE AMERICAN CATHOLIC WHO'S WHO
Principal of the parish school. Of this
school, more than one hundred of the
teachers of the New York Public Schools
are graduates. She was elected the Su-
perior of the Community in 1893, and
immediately established the Normal
School at St. Teresa's Academy. When
the Educational Authorities at Albany
passed the law that only students of
schools approved by the State Board
would be granted license to teach in
public schools, Mother Irene went to
Albany, and through her own eifforts had
the curriculum of the Academy approved
so that St. Teresa's was the first Cath-
olic school in New York City empowered
by the State Board to prepare for City
licenses. In 1897 she opened an Acad-
emy at Park Avenue and Ninety-third
Street, which now numbers more than
two hundred students. The same year,
the property known as Leland Castle,
New Rochelle, was purchased by Mother
Irene from Mr. Adrian Iselin, Jr. The
present Ursuline Seminary was opened,
which is now the Preparatory School of
the College of New Rochelle. Mother
Irene obtained a College Charter from
the University of the State of New York
in June, 1904. In September of that
year she opened the College of New
Rochelle, which has had a steady growth
during the six years of its existence.
In April, 1906, Mother Irene was elected
delegate to the General Chapter of the
Ursuline Order held in Rome, and in
1908 she was made Provincial of the Ur-
sulines of the Northern Province of the
United States. Address: College of New

JACKMAN, Miss Mary Martha:
B., 1808, of Presbyterian parents in
Newburyport, Mass.; the family settled
in Boston about 1818. Ed. Boyls-
ton School on Fort Hill. Permitted
by her mother, Mrs. Mary Haslett Jack-
man, to visit any church in the city,
Martha chanced one Sunday afternoon
to stray into the old Cathedral on
Franklin St., and from that time evinced
such a fondness for Catholic services
that when Good Friday came, she cried
all day because her mother denied her
permission to visit the Cathedral. The
mother finally yielded in the evening, but
decided to accompany her daughter to
church, and as a result embraced the
Catholic faith one year after the latter
had been received into the Church. Pre-
pared for her new faith by the Ursuline
nuns. Miss Jackman was ever zealous
in their service. When their new home
in Charlestown was burned by the
Knownothing mob, she ministered to
the wants of the Sisters and worked hard
seeking shelter and relief for the per-
secuted nuns ; visited the tombs of the de-
ceased sisters, after the conflagration, and
even went so far as to varnish the coffins
before putting them in their proper
resting places. On March 29, 1910, Miss
Jackman breathed her last, having at-
tained the ripe age of 102 years. Her
mind was active and her memory ex-
ceptionally retentive to the last. She
was buried in old St. Augustine's
Cemetery, South Boston, Mass.

of Fine Arts. Her first art work. The
Listening Look, was followed by Ulysses,
and A Neglected Old Man; a bust of
Fr. Maloney of Cleveland; and a bvist of
Bishop Maes of Covington, Ky.; but the
crown of her labors was reached in
Christ the Rejected, exhibited at the
Pan-American Exhibition, Buffalo, 1901,
adapted from a life size figure of the
Sacred Heart, which she made for St.
Lawrence Church, in Ironton, Ohio.
This head of Christ has won praise from
St. Gaudens, Duveneck, French, Bor-
glum, Lorado Taft, and Edgar Cameron.
While in Italy, she was urged to leave
the cast or even a photograph of Christ
the Rejected with sculptors; Romanelli
of Florence and Verdi of Rome especially
commended it. The figure of St. John,
placed in St. Lawrence Church, is an-
other of her great works, while the busts
of her brother, Rev. James Cotter, and
her small son Billy are great triumphs
of her art; likewise a Madonna and
Child, for the Covington (Ky.) Cathe-
dral. Two of her paintings, one an ideal
portrait of herself, and McGinty, a genre

Mil-
KLEIN, Abb6 Felix:
IH^ Frencn abb6 and writer, famous be-
^» cause of his knowledge of the United
States and sympathy with American in-
stitutions and ideals; b. July 12, 1862,
at Chateau-Chinon (Ni6vre) ; ed. first
at the Petit S6minaire of Meaux, then
at the Grand S6minaire de Saint- Sul-
pice, Paris, where he studied theol-
ogy with Father J. B. Hogan (founder
of St. John's Seminary, Boston) ;
studied also at the Institut Catholique,
and at the Sorbonne; went to Algiers in
1889-90, where he met Cardinal Lavi-
gerie, whose life he related later in his
book: Cardinal Lavigerie and his work
in Africa. Taught philosophy at the
College dioc6sain of Meaux for three
years; published New Tendencies in Re-
ligion and in Literature, a series of es-
says showing his wide mind, his toler-
ance, together with his ardent faith in
the united progress of democracy and re-
ligion. In 1893 he was appointed
Professor of French literature at the
Institut Catholique of Paris, the head
of which was then Monseigneur d'Hulst.
The new Professor soon acquired a great
influence over the young Catholics and
helped to make them accept the republi-
can form of government; at the same
time he followed the advice given by
Pope Leo XIII to the French Catholics.
This made him the object of enmity in
certain quarters, so that when he had
published translations of the most im-
portant speeches of Archbishop Ireland
and a life of Father Hecker, the founder
of the Paulists (L'Eglise et le Sifecle; le
P. Hecker), he was accused of American-
ism. Immediately after Pope Leo XIII
sent to the Archbishop of Baltimore an
Apostolic Letter, Testem Benevolentiae,
in which he condemned the heresies
known as Americanism, Abbe Klein
wrote to the Pope that he withdrew his
book. The ghost of Americanism disap-
peared as easily as it had appeared, and
the Abb6 Klein personally gained
through this incident the sympathy of
people on both sides of the Atlantic. Ho
next wrote the very edifying life of the
Bishop of Metz, Monsignor Dupont des
Loges, in which there are pages on the
Franco-German war that have great his-
torical value; this work was given a
prize by the Academic Frangaise. A lit-
tle later, Abb6 Klein grouped in two vol-
umes his articles in the great Catholic
Review Le Correspondant ; these are
Autour du Dilettantisme and Quelques
Motifs D'esp6rer. In Le Fait Religieux
et la Mani^re de I'Observer, a pamphlet
published in 1903, he shows what an
apologist he might have been for the
Church if circumstances had allowed it.
His Discours de Mariage published in
1909 show his view of a Christian life
and how it can be adapted to the dif-
ferent conditions of modem life and ^e
immutable rules of the Gospel. For
such a mind as the Abb4 Klein, open
to the latest and newest problems and
necessities of mankind, America had
always held especial attraction. A
great traveler, the Abb6, looked to the
United States as the newest, the lar-
gest and most progressive of all coun-
tries. He studied some of its highest
and best ideas in the works of Bishop
Spalding and in the sermons of Arch-
bishop Ireland, and imparted his ad-
miration to his countrymen by hia
translation of them, as Opportunity,
and TEducation Sup6rieure des Femmes.
338
THE AMEEICAlSr CATHOLIC WHO'S WHO
Wishing to study America on the spot,
in 1904 he made a visit to United States
and Canada, and saw New York, Bos-
ton, Montreal, Ottawa, Buffalo, Chicago,
Peoria, St. Louis, Pittsburg, Phila-
delphia, and Baltimore, where he was
the guest of Cardinal Gibbons. In Wash-
ington he called on President Roose-
velt to whom he dedicated the rela-
tion of his journeys: Au Pays de la
Vie Intense. This book was a great
success in France; it was awarded a
prize by the Academic and in three years
b3,d ten editions. The name of the au-
thor, until then only known, to a small
circle of religious and cultured people,
became world-wide, and the Abb6 Klein
became an authority on American ques-
tions. This helped to teach tolerance to
his countrymen as well as true demo-
cratic and republican principles ; he made
a social and legal study on Separation in
the United States, a summary of the
history, the laws and customs governing
the relation of church and state in
America. He also wrote a very curious
book La D6couverte du Vieux-Monde
par un 6tudiant de Chicago, which under
a transparent fiction is a comparison be-
tween his country and America, in which
he freely says what he thinks of the
ideas, the institutions and even the men
of France. This book was translated
into English, as also Au Pays de la Vie
Intense (McClurg, Chicago), and was
much appreciated in America. When it
was known, in 1907, that he was coming
back again, he was invited everywhere,
and requested to give lectures in all
parts of the country. He accepted the
invitation to lecture at Lowell Insti-
tute, Boston, at the University of Chi-
cago, and also at Chautauqua, Omaha,
St. Paul, San Francisco, Flagstaff and
iSew York. Some of these lectures were
made in French and some in English.
On his return to France he published
an account of his impressions and re-
marks in the Correspondant and the
Revue des Deux Mondes and then pub-
lished the same in 1910 in one volume
I'Amgrique de Demain, for which he ob-
tained a third award from the Acadgmie
Frangaise. Both the French and the
American papers agreed that few men
had ever understood and explained so
well the actual state of mind of the
United States, and the fundamental
questions confronting the democracy.
The Paris newspaper Le Figaro summed
up all that can be said of the Abb^
Klein, that he was the Frenchman who
knew best, and most loved, America.

KNOTT, Hon. A. Leo:
Attorney-at-law (retired from active
practice). B. in Frederick County, Md. ;
s. of Edward Knott, of Montgomery
County, and Elizabeth (Sweeney) Knott,
of St. Mary's County, Md. Related on
both parents' sides to the Neales, the
Mealeys, the Donnellys, the Digges, the
Spaldings, and other prominent Catholic
families of Maryland. His ancestors
came to Maryland from Yorkshire, Eng-
land, in 1647. Ed. at St. John's (Jes-
uit) College, Frederick, Md. ; and at
St. Mary's College (now St. Mary's Sul-
pician Seminary), Baltimore, Md.; grad-
uated from the latter with high honors,
and subsequently received therefrom the
degree of A.M. Studied law under the
Hon. William Schley, and on admission
to the Bar formed a partnership with
Mr. James H. Bevans, which continued
for two years, since which time, until
his practical retirement a year or two
THE AMEEICAN CATHOLIC WHO^S WHO
339
ago, lie continued the practice of law in
Baltimore, alone. In 1S67 nominated
by the Democratic party for States At-
torney for Baltimore City, and elected;
re-elected in 1871, and again in 1875,
serving three successive terms in this
important office. In 1859, Mr. Knott
took a prominent part in the reform
movement which resulted in the deliv-
erance of the State of Maryland from
the hands of the Know Nothing Party.
Emtering actively into politics in 1860,
he was in close touch with the tre-
mendous questions that finally launched
our country into civil war. From the
first he opposed secession; and battled
fiercely against the hot heads of both
factions. However, he remained stead-
fast in his allegiance to the Democratic
party. In 1864 he was made Secretary
of the Committee for the re-organization
of the Democratic party, under the
leadership of Gov. Thomas S. Piatt,
Judge Richard B. Carmichael, Col. John
F. Dent, and others. The main object
of this reorganization was to put the
Democratic party in Maryland in full
accord with the Democrats of the other
states, as constituting the only safeguard
of the liberties of the people, so seriously
menaced by the revolutionary influences
then in supreme control of the Repub-
lican faction. He was a delegate to
the City (Baltimore), State (Mary-
land), and National Conventions. All
in all, he was among the most prom-
inent and most successful of the work-
ers in Maryland, in bringing order out
of the chaos that succeeded the Civil
War. In 1866 he was elected a delegate
to the Maryland Assembly, which in-
cluded at that time the most notable
men in Maryland. He was again sent
to the Democratic National Convention
in 1872, and was a member of the Na-
tional Democratic Executive Committee
from 1872 to 1876. Took a prominent
part in the election of President Cleve-
land in 1884, and was appointed Second
Assistant Postmaster General under
Cleveland in 1885. In 1886 he con-
cluded an agreement with the Governor
General of Cuba for the transmission
of mails between Cuba and Spain, and
the same year was appointed to the
Supreme Bench of Baltimore, but at the
request of President Cleveland, declined
the appointment. Upon retirement from
public office (1889), Mr. Knott resumed
tne practice of law. He is an orator
of note; is an authority on Maryland
History, and in this connection has re-
cently contributed articles to the Cath-
olic Encyclopedia. In 1873, married
Regina M. Keman, a descendant of the
famous colonial family of that name.

the various revolutions which convulsed
354
THE AMERICAN CATHOLIC WHO'S WHO
the country and which finally culmi-
nated in the French intervention in
1862, the family fortune was wiped away
and his family left in poverty. Mr.
Larrazolo's father and four brothers
served in the army of the republic dur-
ing the French War. In 1870, the Rt.
Rev. J. B. Salpointe, then Vicar Apos-
tolic of Arizona (later Archbishop of
Santa F6, New Mexico), passed by
Allende, and there happened to meet
Mr. Larrazolo, then a boy 10 years old.
Becoming interested in the lad, the
Vicar secured the consent of the boy's
parents and brought him to the United
States. Here he remained under the
protection of the good Bishop, and ac-
companied him on his travels in Arizona
and New Mexico from 1870 to 1877. In
1875 and 1876 he attended St. Michael's
College, Santa F6, N. M.; in 1878 moved
to San Elzeario, El Paso County, Texas,
■where in 1881 he married Rosalia
Cobos. After the death of his wife he
married in 1892 Maria, d. of Carlos
Garcia. Both her father and grand-
father, Capt. Gregorio Garcia, partic-
ipated in the Indian wars in Texas.
In the race war that occurred at San
Elzeario in 1877, where many Ameri-
cans lost their lives, Capt. Gregorio
Garcia, with his sons and a few others,
held the insurrectionists at bay, and
saved the town from pillage until the
arrival of the U. S. troops, who restored
order and authority. From 1878 to
188'4, Mr. Larrazolo taught school at
San Elzeario, a Mexican community
where only two of the natives spoke
English; he brought the first school
books that were ever used in El Paso
County, and when he retired from his
duties as school teacher to accept public
office, there were over twenty well edu-
cated boys in the small community.
In 1885 Mr. Larrazolo was appointed
Clerk of the United States Courts at
El Paso, Tex.; resigned in 1886 to
become Clerk of the District Court of
the 34th Judicial District of Texas,
with principal office at El Paso; re-
elected in 1888. In 1889 he was ad-
mitted to the bar and elected District
Attorney for the 34th Judicial District;
was re-elected in 1892. He moved to

LEWIS, Edmonia:
Sculptor; b. July 4, 1845, Albany, N.

ple until she was fifteen, when, assisted
by her brother, she went to the Oberlin,
Ohio, college for three years. While
there her Indian name of Wildfire was
changed to that of Edmonia Lewis.
From childhood she had always had
wonderful power with her hands in
shaping anything she touched, and while
pursuing her studies, she began her
career as a sculptor; came into notice as
a rising young sculptor in 1865, through
the exhibition of her first work, a bust
of Robert Gould Shaw of Boston. The

consequence found it expedient to im-
migrate to America, which he did, after
his marriage to Anna Price in 1730,
finally settling in Conewago, Pa. His
son, Thomas, born at sea on the voyage,
was a member of the Provincial Coun-

nated by a member of the Lilly family.

cestors came over to Maryland with
Lord Baltimore, and from that time the
descendants of the first Jenkins have

tinguished sons, including soldiers, sail-
ors, jurists, physicians, lawyers, and

Oliell Olum, king of the south of Ireland,
The family reigned over a large prin-
cipality till Cromwell conquered them,

was still a young girl, following out the
beautiful French and German custom of
clothing a child of poverty on Christmas
Day, she prepared an infant's outfit and
distributed gifts to the children of two
poor homes. She interested others in
the work and soon a little society was
formed, each member agreeing to make
six garments for the infants then being
cared for, and besides, to make at least
one child happy at Christmas. In 1900,
the Society took more definite form;
other work, such as sewing schools,
'children's libraries, Sunday-school
classes, etc., were added to the work of
relief of destitute children. The Society
was finally incorporated, with a member-

ject of the Society being one that ap-
peals to every heart in which love of

graphic Secretaries of the Vatican
Council, and served officially during the
sessions of that CEcuinenical Synod.
(Apart from His Eminence Cardinal
Gibbons, the only living American
bishop who took part in the Vatican
Council, Father Metcalf is the only other
living American who was officially con-
nected with that great assembly). In
March, 1870, Father Metcalf was ap-
pointed Vice Rector of the American
College in Rome; returned to America
in 1872; two years later, made Chancel-
lor of the Archdiocese, and Secretary

of Marblehead, Mass., and later of the
Gate of Heaven parish; South Boston;

teachings insulting to Catholics on the
subject of Indulgences. Contributor of
short articles, stories, verses, and let-

Jubilee of Pope Pius IX; this was
afterwards embodied in a pamphlet is-
sued by the ecclesiastical authorities
of Baltimore, entitled The Grand Demon-
stration in Baltimore and Washington,
D. C, in honor of the twenty-fifth an-
niversary of the election of Pius IX
to the chair of St. Peter (published by
John Murphy & Co., and Catholic Pub-
lication Society, N. Y., 1871). This let-
ter seems to have definitely put an end
to the many controversies in current
journals of the day, on the subject dis-
cussed. Father Metcalf has been an ex-
tensive traveler through Europe and
Northern Africa. Received into the
Catholic Church in childhood; found
and studied a catechism and then asked
to be baptized. The late Bishop Fitz-

Bros.; recognized as an authority in
aeronautics, and by some German
authorities as the father of aerial navi-
gation. According to Victor Lougheed,
author of Auto Vehicles of the Air, in
1893 Montgomery absolutely described
the successful machine of to-day and was
then prepared to do all that is being
done to-day. Twenty-five years ago
Montgomery made the first flight ever
made in an aeroplane, and in 1885, a
year later, he evolved the parabolic
curved wing which is the sole support
of all aeroplanes now in use. The
Wright patent calls for a flat surface
wing, but neither Wilbur Wright nor
his brother Orville, nor any other
person, has ever used a flat surface
wing to support his machine in the
air. The Wrights dispute this, and the
case will be decided by the courts. In-
ventor of the rectifier, which is de-
signed to recharge storage batteries

MURPHY, Mrs. Virginia (Reed):
Author; b. near Springfield, Mass.
Whilst an infant, her father died in an
epidemic of cholera, and James F. Reed
nursed both Virginia and her mother
through the same illness and finally
married the mother. Hence the little
girl knew no other father, and owing to
Mr. Reed's great devotion, she always
bore his name with pride and gratitude.
In 1846, Mr. Reed and his family, with
some friends, the Donners, started for
California (then a province of Mexico)
in prairie schooners. The party after-
wards bore the name The Donner Party.
Their history was one of disaster and
horror, over 40 of the original 80 perish-
ing in the winter snows of the Sierra
Nevadas. Virginia was a child of 12
when the party started. While im-
prisoned in the snows of the mountains,
she attended daily prayers offered by
Patrick Breen, one of the emigrants,
and there vowed that if she and her
loved ones escaped she would become a
Catholic. Rescue ultimately came, and
her father and family settled in San
Jos6. In 1851 she married John Murphy,
the founder of the celebrated mining
camp of Murphy's. She wrote a graphic
account of her trip across the plains,
which appeared in The Century Maga-
zine in 1890. Address: Second St., San
Jos6, California.

O'BRIEN, Rev. John:
Editor of the Sacred Heart Review;
b. April 2, 1838, at Garranjames, parish
of Imogeela, diocese of Oloyne, County
Cork, Ireland. Came to America with
his parents in 1850; settled in West
Springfield, Mass.; employed on a farm,
and later in a factory during the Know-
Nothing days, when Catholics were
rarely employed and the Church in New
England was living in strenuous times.
During these years of hard manual
labor, which often began at 5:30 a.m..
Father O'Brien gave all his spare time
to study, and the defence of his religion.
Seeing that the Catholic children around
him were receiving little or no religious
instruction, he obtained from the Super-
intendent of the Mill the use of a hall,
where he gathered the children and
young people every Sunday afternoon
for Sunday school. Later acted as
book-agent and canvasser for the Boston
Pilot, when he read everything that
came within his reach from Milner's
End of Controversy and Pope and Ma-
guire's Oral Controversy, to the Bible.
About this time Father Powers, a priest,
on a visit from Ireland, noticed his pas-
sionate love for books and for souls, and
proposed his becoming a priest, an idea
that finally took shape. He was sent
to Miss Stebbins' school in Springfield,
then to St. Charles' College, Ellicott
City, Md,, later making his theological
studies at St. Joseph's Seminary, Troy,
N. Y. Ordained June 6, 1868; pastor
at Concord and Lexington, 1871. East
Cambridge, Mass., 1873; built Church
of the Sacred Heart, East Cambridge,
1874; later built schools and convents.
In December, 1888, Father O'Brien
founded a small Catholic weekly, the
Sacred Heart Review, mainly for the
use of his Advanced Class in Christian
Doctrine. From this small beginning
there has grown a world-wide publica-
tion known and welcomed in every cor-
ner of the earth where Catholic inter-
ests are dominant. Under Father
O'Brien's splendid editorship the Re-
view has attained the highest rank;
possessing some unique and salient fea-
tures, it defends, propagates and ex-
plains all truths, and practices of the
Church in relation to burning questions
of the day. On June 6, 1908, Father
O'Brien celebrated his triple anniver-
sary, the 40th of his priesthood, the
35th as Pastor of the Church of the
Sacred Heart, East Cambridge, and the
20th as founder of the Sacred Heart Re-
view, an event that brought an outpour-
ing of congratulation and appreciation
from every part of the country for the
beloved Editor-priest. Address: The
Sacred Heart Review, East Cambridge,
Mass.

O'DEA, Rt. Rev. Edward John, D.D.:
Bishop of Seattle; b. in Boston, Mass.,
November 23, 1856; attended a private
school, previous to the departure of his
mother and younger brother for Cali-
fornia by the Isthmus of Panama. His
father, Edward O'Dea, joined the rush
of gold seekers and preceded by a year
the rest of the family to the Pacific
Coast; while in San Francisco, he at-
tended St. Ignatius College. The family
moved to Portland, Ore., in 1866, where
they reside to this day. After a few
years spent in the public schools, the
future Bishop entered the school of the
Sisters of the Holy Names, in Portland,
and finished his classical course of six
years in St. Michael's College; entered
the Grand Seminary in Montreal, Can.;
remained for six years; ordained priest,
December 23, 1882, by Archbishop Fabre;
assigned to duty at the Cathedral,
Portland, Ore., where he served under

Seghers. Later appointed secretary to

named from the ancient village, which
now exists but in name, near the city
of Olympia, but which in early days was
the headquarters of the powerful Nis-
qually tribe of Indians, among whom the
pioneer Catholic missionaries lived and
labored for many years. The progress of
the diocese during the administration of
Bishop O'Dea may be estimated by the
following facts: in 1896, when he took
charge, it contained only 39 secular
priests, 24 priests of religious orders, 41
churches with resident priests, 48 mis-
sions with churches, 4 colleges and acad-
emies for boys, 14 academies for young
ladies, 5 orphan asylums, 11 hospitals,

priests, 62 priests of religious orders,
78 churches with resident priests, 102
missions with churches, 6 colleges and
academies for boys, 19 academies for
young ladies, 6 orphan asylums, 13 hos-
pitals, and a Catholic population of 90,-
000. Realizing the importance that
Seattle would soon assume as the great
emporium of the northern Pacific Coast,
the Bishop petitioned the Pope to trans-
fer his residence ofiicially to Seattle,
and received a favorable reply on Sep-
tember 11, 1907, creating the Diocese of
Seattle. Address: Seattle, Wash.

says: The intensely poetic lines of
Manfred were given as fine an inter-

PHILLIPS, Hon. Charles Francis Lacey:
Eldest s. of Samuel Richards Phillips,
by his wife, Anne M6lanie Berry-King,
both deceased; b. July 5, 1846, in Phila-
delphia, Pa. Descended, paternally, from
an English family, of Roman origin,
resident in Britain since the early part
of the Christian era; maternally, from
an old Catholic family of Maryland, of
English, Irish, and French origin. His
father, the first member of the family
born in America, took an active part in
the promotion of American enterprises,
a pioneer in many undertakings of im-
portance, he was also enthusiastically
devoted to historical research, and left
a valuable library of about fifty thou-
sand volumes, which had always been
open to the use of the scholarly public,
largely composed of works relating to

519
the discovery and settlement of America,
and to the growth and development of
its people and their institutions. Born
a Protestant, he was always an earnest
friend of Catholic education and a pro-
fessed admirer of Catholic polity, and
prior to his death, which occurred in
1880, became a most sincere and humble
convert to the faith. Mr. Phillips was
educated by private tutors, and attended
the School of the Assumption, Philadel-
phia, Pa.; his higher studies were made
at Saint Joseph's College, Philadelphia;
Georgetown College, District of Colum-
bia; and St. John's College, Fordham,
N. Y. (A.B., 1865; M.A., later); trav-
eled abroad, after graduation, and con-
tinued his studies in the principal cities
of learning. Placed by his family un-
der the protection, in England, of Car-
dinal Manning and the Hon. Charles
Francis Adams, then Ambassador of the
United States at the Court of St. James;
in France, Italy, Austria, and elsewhere,
of princely personages eminent for their
piety and wisdom; and, in Rome, of the
Papal Court, he enjoyed special advan-
tages of education, and an intimate ac-
quaintance with Catholic sentiment and
tradition. Returning home, he devoted
several years to a careful study of the
industrial, commercial and financial con-
ditions of the day, and gave considerable
attention, also, to journalism, contrib-
uting editorials and other articles to
the secular and religious press and aid-
ing in the management of Lippincolt's
Magazine; aided the historian, John Fos-
ter Kirk, and others, in the revision and
editing of a number of important works.
Entered upon the practice of law, and
while still actively engaged in the exer-
cise of his duties as juris-consult, is
occupied almost exclusively with mat-
ters relating to public and private cor-
porations, and to constitutional and in-
ternational law. Has been largely in-
terested in railroading, banking, and
industrial operations, and as a director
in a number of companies and institu-
tions, he often acted as their counsel.
Life Fellow of the London Institute of
Bankers, and as such occupied with mat-
ters of European finance; one of the
first publicists to urge upon American
bankers the advisability of adopting the
branch bank system and other measures
of reform and development suggested by
the successful practice of the old world;
took an active part in the practical la-

THE AMEEICAN^ CATHOLIC WHO'S WHO
1890. September, 1895, to July, 1896,
was at the Georgetown College Observa-
tory, engaged in scientific researches
with Rev. Father Hagen, now director of
the Vatican Observatory, and with Fa-
ther Hedrick (now director) ; principal
work consisted of the photographic deter-
mination of the variation of latitude.
The feeble light used in the handling of
the plates, the microscopic measure-
ments and the continuous calculations,
impaired Fr. Rigge's eyesight to such
an extent that he was obliged to relin-
quish his astronomical experiments and
confine himself to the class room. Since
September, 1896, he has been instructor
in astronomy, mathematics, and physics
at Creighton University, Omaha, where
he is Director of the Creighton Univer-
sity Observatory, which is primarily a
students' observatory, and as such is
probably the best equipped of its kind
in the United States. Father Rigge is
thus enabled to observe occasional phe-
nomena, reports of which may be found
in the proper technical journals; writing
on astronomical subjects, for technical
and popular magazines, has become (as
much as his duties and feeble eyesight
will allow), the feature of his life. Con-

with Charles E. Hurd, then Literary

Christy of Rathglin, published in 1907
(the C. M. Clark Publishing Co. of Bos-
ton). Rathglin is another name for
Tang, the author's birthplace in Ireland,
just a mile from Sweet Auburn, that
historic spot in the Emerald Isle, v.liere
Oliver Goldsmith was born.
With its ash tree and its hawthorn and
its lark that heavenly sang,
Sure no roadway went to heaven but ray
Irish one at Tang.
The eviction scene, as told in this r.ovel,
is an exact transcription from memory
of the family's experience when evicted
from the house in which he was born.
Of this work, Maurice Francis Egan
wrote: For color in style, for real hu-
man interest, for power in painting hu-
manity, Christy of Rathglin exceeds any
novel, published this year, that I have
read. Mr. Riley made a four months'
trip to England, Ireland, and France, in
1889, visiting his birthplace and being
present at some heart-rending eviction
scenes in Mayo, of which he wrote to
the Boston Pilot and Republic. He be-
came Editor of the Orphan's Bouquet in
1885, and while on that paper, of all
the bright young minds who wrote for
its children's column, he singled out
Charles Phillips, of New Richmond, Wis.,
as the most promising. The little West-
ern boy of that day is now the well-
known editor of the San Francisco Moni-
tor. After retiring from the Bouquet,
Mr. Riley edited the Father Mathew
Herald for a time. He is now engaged
in writing a novel on the Revolution.

THE AMERICAN CATHOLIC WHO'S WHO
During the A.P.A. excitement he planned
a lecture on the history of religious
intolerance in the U. S. to be delivered
in the principal American cities as a
reply to A.P.A. falsehoods; George
Parsons Lathrop was to have delivered
the lecture but did so only once. Ad-
dress: 616 Fulton St., Brooklyn, N. Y.
ROBINSON, Fr. Paschal, O.F.M.:
Writer; member of the Franciscans,
and a well-known authority on Fran-
ciscalia. Author of A Short Introduc-
tion to Franciscan Literature; The Real
St. Francis of Assisi, a series of bro-
chures that appeared in the Messenger
(June-September, 1903). As a critique
on M. Sabatier's Vie de St. Francois
Fr. Robinson says: "However much the
purely biographical portion of M.
Sabatier's book may be crippled by his
entire lack of sympathy with St.
Francis' religious standpoint, that part
of the work which deals with early Fran-
ciscan history, and which is at once the
most interesting and valuable, has served
to open up a new era in the study of
the sources and, if we are now in the
maelstrom of books dealing with St.
Francis, it is due largely to the energy
and enthusiasm with which M. Sabatier
has followed up this subject," Fr. Eob-
inson cites Sabatier's many predecessors
in the field to prove, however, that the
world had not hitherto been left in ignor-
ance of the Poverello, and that M. Sa-
batier would be the last to undervalue
their research and erudition. Fr. Robin-
son is also the Editor of The Writ-
ings of St. Francis of Assisi, newly
translated into English (The Dolphin
Press, 1906), and he has in prepara-
tion a complete biography of the life
of St. Francis. There are those who
say that a critical life of the real St.
Francis is yet to be written; Catholics
who know Fr. Robinson's talents, and his
devotion to the subject, will await his
book with interest. Address: Mt. St.

son Edward, Comte de Roth, were dis-
tinguished military commanders in Ire-
land and France, from 1686 to 1766.
Edward, Comte de Roth, Colonel of the
Brigade Regiment known as Roth's,
served in the Army of the Rhine till
1744, when he passed into the army
commanded by the Marshal de Saxe;
fought with the Irish Brigade at the
victory of Fontenoy in 1745. Serving
for several years in the Low Countries,
he was made Lieutenant-General of the
Irish and Scotch troops in 1759, dis-
tinguished himself in various actions
until his death in 1766. His widow, an
English woman of the noble house of
Cary, called in France the Countess de
Roth, but the Honorable Mrs. Roth in
England, to which country she soon re-
tired, survived him till 1804. With the
death of Count Edward de Roth, the
distinction of the Roth family ended.
The Penal Laws by sweeping some into
poverty and the rest into Protestantism
soon reduced them all to the ranks of
the Ignobile Vulgus. Edward Roth was
educated in private schools of Kilkenny;
Burrel's Hall, and Trinity College, Dub-
lin, Ireland; was teacher at St. Mary's
College, Wilmington, Del., from 1846 to

that institution. Was Vice-President of
St. Mary's College, 1856-60; Principal
Broad St. Academy, Philadelphia, Pa.,
1862-92. Considers the most valuable

30 years; some of the scholars being
sons and grandsons of former pupils.

SCHNEIDERHAHN, Edward Vincent
Paul:
Attorney-at-law; b. September 23,
1874, in St. Louis, Mo.; s. of M.
Schneiderhahn, religious sculptor, by his
wife, Frances Bleckmann. His father
was the youngest of ten, and his mother
the eldest of eleven children; their son,
the subject of this sketch, was one of
thirteen children. Mr. Schneiderhahn
received his early training in parish
schools, and pursued his higher course
at St. Louis University (degree of A.B.),
and Washington University (degree of
LL.B. ) . At the age of sixteen, hav-
ing conceived a great admiration for
self-made men, he interrupted his
studies to gain for himself the means
for further education, kept up with the
classes through private study, and grad-
uated with the same class which he
haa originally entered. Has practiced
law for fourteen years. Is at present
Vice-President of the Council of the
City of St. Louis (the Council is the
upper House of the Municipal Assembly
and is elected by the entire city) ;
member of the Catholic Union of Mis-
souri (a state organization of approxi-

member of the American Federation of
Catholic Societies; member of various

absolute divorce admits the principle
of polygamy in amended form, and that
the admission of the principal of abso-
lute divorce is many times the temptation
to produce the cause for the very pur-
pose of divorce. Advocates the denial
of the sanction of law to so called
common law marriages; advocates the
religious education of youth, and points
to the increase in juvenile crime and
depravity in proof of the necessity. Is
frequently called upon to address Ger-
man and English Catholic audiences in
various cities on the above topics Ad-

SCHNEIDEHHAHN, Maximilian:
Sculptor; b. May 18, 1844, at Rex-
ingen, \^'iirtemberaf. Gormpny -eceived
his preliminary education in the gram-
mar schools, and when ten years old,
entered the Gymnasium at Ravensburg
where his eldest brother, Rev. Vincenz
Schneiderhahn, Ph.D., D.D., was pro-
fessor. After studying sculpture and
painting for four years, he went to the
THE AMERICAN CATHOLIC WHO'S WHO
583
I
renowned art centre, Munich, and en-
tered the atelier of Professor Knabl;
studied sculpture, especially religious
sculpture, under him for four years,
entered the famous Academy of Fine
Arts of Munich, and graduated with
highest honors. When 25 years old, he
was one of the exhibitors and, with
one exception, the youngest exhibitor at
the great International Art Exposition
at Munich in 1869. Every work ex-
hibited had first to pass a jury of
world famed artists before being ad-
mitted. At that time some commissions
received from America caused him to
come to this country (1870). Since then
he has been engaged in his chosen pro-
fession of religious sculpture, and has
executed commissions received from all
parts of the country. The elevation and
inspiration of the beholder by the high-
est religious art has been the aim of
his life. All of the statues and groups
are his own original designs. In the
Last Supper he claims that many of the
well known paintings and sculptures
depict the moment of the greatest dra-
matic confusion. " One of you will be-
tray Me." Mr. Schneiderhahn main-
tains that for the Christian sculptor
the most sacred moment to be por-
trayed is the institution of the Sacra-
ment itself, " This is My Body, this is
My Blood," a more difficult subject, but
one the true religious portrayal of which
involves the highest art. The original
of Mr. Schneiderhahn's Last Supper
may be seen in the Mother House of
the Notre Dame Sisters at Milwaukee.
Other well-known gi'oups are the Pietjl
in finest white marble, St. John's
Church, Quincy, 111. ; Holy Agony group,
St. Vincent's Church, St. Louis, Mo.;
Crucifixion group, St. Joseph's Church,
St. Louis, Mo.; Holy Family group,
St. Louis; Good Shepherd, St. Anthony's
Church, San Francisco, Cal. In later
years pictures of the statues and groups
executed by Mr. Schneiderhahn have
been much in demand and he has pub-
lished various copyrighted editions of
such pictures. The most noted are The
Last Supper, The Holy Agony and Mater
Dolorosa. Address: 1131 South Seventh

SHIPMAN, Andrew Jackson:
Historian litterateur, attorney-at-law ;
b. October 15, 1857, at Springvale, Fair-
fax County, Va. ; s. of John James Ship-
man of Aldie, Loudoun County, Va., by
his wife, Priscilla Carroll of Upper
Marlborough, Prince George County,
Md. The Shipmans came from England
to America early in 1700, they settled
in New York and Connecticut, and dif-
ferent branches of the family afterwards
located in Pennsylvania and Virginia.
On his mother's side Mr. Shipman is a
THE AMERICAN" CATHOLIC WHO'S WHO
601
lineal descendant of Thomas Carroll,
who, following the elder Charles Car-
roll and his other relatives then settled
in Maryland, came over in 1725 with
his wife, Elizabeth Pope of Liverpool, a
relative of the family of Alexander Pope.
Mr. Shipman's great-grandfather, Daniel
Carroll, and his granduncle, Charles Car-
roll, were in the wars of the Revolution
and 1812, respectively. Andrew Jack-
son Shipman received his early training
in the elementary schools of Virginia,
later entering Georgetown Preparatory
School and then Georgetown University;
graduated in 1878 with the degree of
A.B. ; also received the degree of A.M.
in 1889. His legal education was ac-
quired in the University of New York,
graduated in 1886; same year admitted
to the New York bar. For two years
after leaving college he edited a coun-
try newspaper in Virginia, and then be-
came assistant manager of the coal
mines of W. P. Rend & Co. in Ohio.
Entered the United States customs serv-
ice in New York; became assistant sec-
retary to the Collector of the Port; in
1885 was one of the investigators of the
Sugar Frauds at the Port of New York.
Left the customs service and engaged in
the private practice of law for a short
time; in 1890 he formed a partnership
with Edmund L. Mooney, which contin-
ued until 1895, when Charles Blandy en-
tered the firm, which has ever since been
known as Blandy, Mooney & Shipman,
New York City. While engaged in the
active practice of the law, Mr. Shipman
has been counsel in a number of cele-
brated cases involving the law of re-
ligious corporations, of labor organiza-
tions, and of testamentary matters,
which have in some measure determined
the law of New York State. The most
notable of these cases were the St.

fession. He is well known in both hem-
ispheres as the founder and head of the

SLOAN, William Hill:
Educator and author; b. Fort Wash-

September 4, 1843; s. of Surgeon Wil-

Brothers, Santa F^, N. M., at the Com-
mercial College, Leavenworth, Kan., and
at the University of Rochester, N. Y.
(degrees of A.B. and M.A.) ; entered
Baptist Theological Seminary, Rochester,
in 1870, and the same year married
Ida Preston. In 1873, ordained to the
Baptist Ministry at Walworth, N. Y. ;
and appointed to a pastorate at Marion,
N. Y., at the same time acting as
Principal of the Marion Academy.
Previous to this Mr. Sloan had learned
the trade of a printer while in the West,
and had also served in the United States
Army during the Civil War, both of
which experiences fitted him to some ex-
tent for Missionary life on a foreign
field. He was sent, in 1875, to Rangoon,
Burmah, and became superintendent of
an extensive missionary printing-plant
and treasurer of the mission. Prepared
and published his Practical Method
with the Burmese Language, a book that
is still extensively used in Burmah by
those who wish to acquire the language.
Returned to the United States in 1878
and settled over the Baptist Church in
Canandaigua, N". Y.; transferred to
Albion, N. Y., where he spent five years.
In 1884 he was urged by the American
Baptist Home Mission Society to un-
dertake a mission to Mexico for the con-
version of Roman Catholics to Protes-
tantism, and he accepted the appoint-
ment. He took a printing press with
him, and established himself in the City
of Mexico, where other workers had pre-
ceded him by a few months. His suc-
cess was that usually attained by those
who seek proselytes. A number of peo-
ple gathered around him, he built a fine
church edifice, published a religious
paper call La Luz (The Light), and by
his writings and addresses awakened
among Americans a good deal of interest
in the conversion of Mexico, After four
years he returned with his family to the
608
THE AMERICAN CATHOLIC WHO'S WHO
United States to place his children in
school, and labored for a short time in
Kansas City, Mo,, and for four years as
pastor of the First Baptist Church of
Toledo, Ohio. Ji 1903 he returned to
Mexico, and renewed his labors as a mis-
sionary. He built churches in the City
of Mexico, Puebla, San Luis Potosi, and
Aguascalientes, and issued many tracts
and leaflets from his printing press, de-
voting seven years to the preparation of
a Concordance to the Holy Scriptures, in
Spanish, printing it four pages at a time
on a little treadle-press, as he could
find no one in the United States who
would publish it for him. Much of the
type he set with his own hands, and all
the pages were made up by him. Only
one thousand copies were printed, the
work was not stereotyped, and copies are
already becoming scarce. Archbishop
Labastida, of Mexico, was much pleased
with the book, and ordered four copies
for himself. A number of other books
came from his pen, chiefly religious, and
all in Spanish. Mr. Sloan's views had
been undergoing a change for several
years, and in 1908 he united with the
Catholic Church, receiving baptism in the
parish of San Lorenzo, City of Mexico.
Member of the Knights of Columbus and
the Grand Army of the Republic. Is at
present engaged as Professor of Lan-
guages in private Mexican Catholic fam-
ilies. Present Address: Fifth Cedro No.

SMITH, Rev. William St. Elmo, S.P.M.:
Chaplain of the New York Fire De-
partment, a post which came into be-
ing about 1900. At the time of th«
terrible fire of the Windsor Hotel, so tf
many men and women were called to
their final accounting without prepara-
tion, and the clergy from the Cathedral
nearby found so much difficulty in get-
ting through the fire lines, that the
then commissioner, the Hon. J. J. Scan-
nell, thought of having a recognized
chaplain among the uniform forces.
The late Archbishop Corrigan and the
late Bishop Potter were approached on
the subject, which received their warm
approval. Father Smith was one of
the two chaplains subsequently named;
they are not only spiritual directors,
but actual firemen, and are frequently
called upon to assist in the work of
fighting conflagrations — many times
helping to place a ladder or run a hose
to a point where new danger is im-
minent. Father Smith was born in
Ottawa, Can., May 6, 1859; matricu-
lated in the college of Montreal at the
age of eleven years, graduating six years
later; went to England, where he passed
two years, then returned to the United
States and entered the seminary at
Baltimore, Md., whence he repaired to
Brooklyn, N. Y., to make his novitiate
in the order of Fathers of Mercy; or-
dained in Brooklyn at the age of twenty-
four years. In the year 1873, made
pastor of the Church of Our Lady of
Victories at Paterson, N. J.; remained
for a year and a half; subsequently
went to France and officiated as vice
rector in the college of Rauzan. Re-
turned to America and was appointed
pastor of the Church of St. Francis
de Sales in Brooklyn, now Church of
614
THE AMEEICAX CATHOLIC WHO'S WHO
Our Lady of Lourdes; while there he
was also spiritual director of St. Louis
College for four years. Transferred to
Cleveland, and finally appointed pastor
of the Church of St. Louis, Toledo,
Ohio; returned to New York (1892) to
the Church of St. Vincent de Paul,
and served there until March 29, 1889,
when he was appointed Chaplain to the
fire department, which office he still
holds. Father Smith has made about
eleven trips to Europe, and has roamed
nearly over the entire globe, includ-
ing Asia Minor, Palestine and other
countries in the Far East. Conducted
two or three pilgrimages to Rome to
wait upon the Pope and to visit the
shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes. Ad-
dress: 120 West Twenty-fourth St., New

office of Attorney-General, ho appeared

convicted him and had him sentenced
to 20 years in the state penitentiary;
prosecuted and convicted the City Treas-
urer of the City of Omaha for having
embezzled over a hundred thousand
dollars; prosecuted and convicted the
State Auditor for having embezzled over
twenty-three thousand dollars, and con-

Beech Fork (1902), which met with
immediate success, being printed as a
serial story by at least seven English
journals. Of this book Maurice Francis
Egan says: in The Cave a new genre
is created in American Catholic litera-
ture, and he adds: all the fresh air
books provided for boys had hitherto
been written by non-Catholics, and the
lessons taught were the commercially
virtuous maxims of Benjamin Franklin,
which are as devoid of spiritual life
as those of Polonius in his famous
counsels to his son Laertes. Dr. Egan
concludes: a dozen more books as true,
as interesting, as honestly religious, as
manly as that, are, we hope, to be
expected from his pen. Later works
were The Sheriff of the Beech Fork;
The Race for Copper Island, followed
by its sequel. The Marks of the Bear
Claws; and Wethrose Mill (all pub-
lished by Benziger Bros.) ; contributor
to the Catholic Encyclopedia of an ar-

Remedy Prof. Spalding says: It was
the genuine authority . . . set forth
by thinkers like St. Augustine among the
ancients and Cardinal Newman among
the moderns, which made such strong
appeal to me. ... If the Catholic
religion is not the religion of Christ, it is
nothing; if it is that religion, it ap-
peals to all who come within its reach
with the exclusiveness of truth. Those
who heed the appeal will find the sure
remedy for the world's unrest. Mem-

SPALDING, Most Rev. John Lancaster:
Archbishop; b. June 2, 1840, in Leb-
anon, Ky. From the founding of
Spalding Abbey in Lincolnshire, Eng-
land, in the middle ages to the present
day, the family of Spalding has given
to the Church in England and America
many sons and daughters eminent for
piety and learning: the American branch
of the family dates back to the coming
of Lord Baltimore, only a few years
after the landing of the Puritans;
among his ancestors are such repre-
sentatives as the Abell, Hamilton and
Lancaster families. As a boy, he was
the special favorite of his uncle, Arch-
bishop Spalding of Baltimore. Ed. at
Mt. St. Mary's College, Emmitsburg,
Md.; University of Louvain, Belgium;
American College, Rome. Only a few
months after his ordination Father
Spalding was chosen by Archbishop
Blanchet as his theologian at the Sec-
ond Plenary Council of Baltimore; he
was one of the special preachers be-
fore the Council, and all this when
he was only twenty-six years of age.
Archbishop Spalding having died in the

THE AMEEICAN CATHOLIC WHO'S WHO
SPEARMAN, Frank Hamilton:
Novelist; b. Buffalo, N. Y., Septem-
ber 6, 1859; 8. of Simon and Emeline
Eliza (Dunning) Spearman. An an-
cestor, Pierre D'Allixe, was a noted
Huguenot divine who, with a company
of persons of his faith, left France
after the revocation of the Edict of
Nantes, and settled in London and its
vicinity, introducing there many of the
arts and manufactures for which their
country was celebrated, especially the
making of silk goods, hitherto unknown
in England. The D'Allixes (now D'-
Allees and Allees) came to America in
1690, settling in New York and after-
ward in Delaware. From them the
Spearmans, English in the direct line,
derive a French and a Dutch ancestry,
and from the Dunnings (Delaware, 1690)
a maternal English ancestry. Simon
Spearman was a merchant and a planter
in Smyrna, Del. He was at one time
Auditor of the State, and from him
were inherited the literary inclina-
tions of the son. It was after his
intimate friend, the eminent surgeon,
Frank Hastings Hamilton, that the
novelist was named. Frank H. Spear-
man was educated at a private school
in Appleton, Wis., and at Lawrence
University, same place; became a con-
vert to and entered the Catholic Church
on March 25, 1884, and has told the
story of his conversion in Some Roads
to Rome in America (Herder, St.
Louis) ; m. on June 5, 1884, Eugenie
Amelia Lonergan, d. of Thomas and
Mary (Hagan) Lonergan. Thomas
Lonergan, who came from Pittsburg to
Chicago in 1841, was prominently iden-
tified with the business and political
life of the latter city with its early
upbuilding. His uncle. Father James
English, was a co-worker in Ireland
with Father Mathew in the great tem-
perance movement which bears the name
of the latter. Mary Lonergan was one
of the founders of the Ephpheta So-
ciety for the deaf and dumb in Chicago
and was well known in that City both
socially and for her charities. Mr.
Spearman has contributed freely both
of fiction and economic articles to the
American magazines and reviews, becom-
ing known first as a writer of short
stories; his railroad stories are es-
pecially known. His novels, however,
embody his later and more mature work
in fiction. His books of short stories
are: The Nerve of Foley (Harper &
Bros., 1900) ; Held for Orders (Mc-
Clure, Philips & Co., 1901). His novels
are: Doctor Bryson (Charles Scribner's
Sons, 1902) ; The Daughter of a Mag-
nate (Charles Scribner's Sons, 1903) ;
The Close of the Day (D. Appleton
& Co., 1904) ; Whispering Smith
(Charles Scribner's Sons, 1906). He
is also the author of The Strategy of
Great Railroads (Charles Scribner's
Sons, 1904) and Robert Kimberly,
(Charles Scribner's Sons, 1911). Dur-
ing recent years he has spent much
time with his wife and their four sons
in American and European travel, Rome
and Italy being favored abiding places.

and Eliza (Molony) Spellissy; received
early education in his native town, at
Springfield College, an affiliated branch
of London University; took prizes in
various branches, and subsequently stud-
ied at colleges in Dublin and Galwaj;
came to America in December, 1864; fol-
lowed commercial pursuits for some
time; entered the office of a broker and
took up the study of law; admitted to
the Bar of New York, New York City,
1870; m. January 28, 1878, Martha R.
Gaughran. His practice has identified
him with many cases of public impor-
tance, notably with those pertain-
ing to the Eight-Hour Liaw, the
Tenement House Bill, the Franchise
Tax Law, Testamentary Legislation, and
questions relating to the descent of real
property. Serves frequently as referee
in important cases sent to him by the
Supreme and Surrogate's Courts, and
has been appointed Commissioner for
the condemnation of land for public pur-
poses in the City of New York. One of
the founders and first treasurer of the
New York County Lawyers Ass'n; con-
tinues director of the association.
Trustee of the State Savings Bank of
New York City; for three years Chair-
man of the 19th Assembly District,
County Democracy, and member of the
Executive Committee of that body, in
which capacity, in collaboration with
Judges Beekman and Kilbreth, he
drafted the original bill upon which the
present Election T^w was founded. Rep-
resented the Franchise Tax and Munici-
pal Ownership League, of which he was
President, on the Executive Committee
of the Civic League in 1902 and 1903,
and was active in that movement until
the Franchise Tax Law was passed; pro-
cured the passing of the Tenement House
Law. In 1905, he initiated a movement
for the appropriation of a proportion-
ate share of the Public School funds for
such of the free schools in the state as
would aff"ord tuition to fifty pupils and
come up to the standard of education
prescribed by the State Board of Regents
for the Public Schools, and drafted and
introduced into the Legislature of New
York, a Bill for that purpose; it failed
to become a law, but the Bill, if enacted,
would have given the Parochial Schools
just compensation for their services in
the secular education of Catholic chil-
dren taught by them, from the expense
of which the State is relieved by those
schools now supported by Catholics from
their own resources. He never accepted
office, but was nominated, in 1902, for
Attorney General of the Liberal Democ-
racy, composed of the friends of Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan, and came in large-
ly ahead of his ticket. Contributor to

STODDARD, Charlei^ Warren:
Litterateur, educator; b. 1845, in
Rochester, N. Y. ; ed. in schools in West-
ern New York, and at the University of
California. His untimely death at
Monterey, Cal., on April 24, 1909, is re-
gretted by all lovers of his books and
THE AMEEICAN CATHOLIC WHO^S WHO
625
tings who would have liked to see
him attain a ripe old age; for this
prose-poet cast his spell on all who, like
him, have been gifted with a creative
imagination and love of the beautiful in
nature; as William Dean Howells says,
" his writings have the very make of the
tropic spray, which knows not if it be
sea or sun." There is something
vividly joyous, poignantly sorrowful,
tragically beautiful in all he has writ-
ten. This is especially shown forth in
The Lepers of Molokai. A journey from
San Francisco, by way of Cape Horn,
made with an invalid brother, with sub-
sequent voyages, one in 1864 and again
in 1868, to the Hawaiian Islands, fol-
lowed by a trip in 1870 to Tahiti, first
gave him the material for the sketches
and peoples of the South Seas. Always
a dreamer, he now became more or less
of a wanderer on the face of the earth.
In 1873 he went to Europe as special
correspondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle; lived there for five years,
coming back in 1878 to California, when
he decided that he wanted to end his
days on some island of Tranquil Delight,
so he returned to his beloved Hawaiian
Islands, where he abode for three years.
In 1885 he was Professor of English
Literature at the University of Notre
Dame; in 1886 came a trip to Alaska,
followed by a year in Rome (1888-89),
when he was offered the Chair of Eng-

Church, Mr. Stoddard laid bare his in-
ner life in A Troubled Heart and How It
Was Comforted at Last (Ave Maria
Press, 1885), while the story of his con-
version is told in Some Roads to Rome

life of St. Anthony, the Wonder Worker

able sketches from his pen that appeared
from time to time in the Ave Maria,

his great literary gifts, made him, as
some one has said, a man with a charm

STORER, Mrs. Bellamy:
B. Maria Longworth in Cincinnati,
Ohio; pupil of the Cincinnati Art
School, which her father, Joseph Long-
worth, endowed with $300,000. After
working four years, making experiments
in clay decoration at the Dallas White
Ware Pottery, Mrs. Storer opened a pot-
tery which she called Rookwood, the
name of her father's place on the hills
beyond. This was in 1880. Nine years
later this pottery had become self-sup-
porting, and Mrs. Storer dissolved her
personal association with it, leaving it
in charge of William Watts Taylor, Esq.,
who had collaborated with her during
six years. At the Paris Exposition,
where she received the Gold Medal, Mrs.
Storer exhibited about 20 pieces of pot-
tery mounted in bronze, all her own
work. It was an exquisite exhibition.
In 1897, Mr. Storer was appointed
United States Minister to Belgium, and
Mrs. Storer took a Japanese artist,
Asano, to Brussels to instruct her in
bronze work. Two years later Mr.
Storer's mission was changed to Spain,
and there Mrs. Storer continued under
Asano's guidance, some of the results
being seen in the mounting of her pot-
tery. In 1903 Mrs. Storer was in Colo-
rado Springs, where she was much in-
terested in the pottery made by Mr.
Van Briggle, and became one of the
directors of the Van Briggle Pottery Co.
Mrs. Storer, who was brought up in the
P. E. Church, was first led to consider
the claims of the Church during a sum-
mer spent in Brittany where she heard
a sermon on the Holy Eucharist
preached by the Chaplain of a Convent
where she was staying. The following
year (1901) while in Washington, she
heard Bishop Keane lecture at the Cath-
olic University on Pope Leo's Encyclical
on Labor; being deeply interested, she
read all of the Pope's Encyclicals. A
few weeks later, attracted to St. Au-
gustine's Church by the music, she heard
THE AMEEICAN CATHOLIC WHO'S WHO
627
a sermon by Archbishop Ireland which
confirmed a growing impression of the
claims of the Church. On June 26, 1892,
Mrs. Storer received conditional bap-
tism, and confirmation, from Bishop
Keane of the Catholic University. Ad-
dress: Cincinnati, Ohio.

630
THE AMERICAN CATHOLIC WHO'S WHO
when necessary; the Moor with a spear
signifies courage. Fr. Stroebele re-
ceived his preliminary education in the
parochial school and college (Gymna-
sium) at Sigraaringen, HohenzoUern;
studied philosophy in Holland, and
theology in the United States. Or-
dained priest by the Rt. Rev. M. A. Cor-
rigan, Bishop of Newark, X. J., March
17, 1878; appointed Rector, St. Bona-
venture's Church, Paterson, N. J.,
afterwards becoming Rector of St.
Anthony's, Butler, N. J. A desire to
work among the negroes took him to St.
Augustin's (colored) Church, Louis-
ville, Ky., where he was for some time
rector. Was instrumental in establish-
ing the Catholic religion on Old Provi-
dence Island (Carribean Sea) in 1902;
at that time there was but one Catholic
on the Island; through the kindness of a
local Baptist preacher. Rev. E. Howard,
permission was obtained for holding at
his church a three weeks' revival or
mission, at the close of which the
preacher and his flock declared them-
selves ready to join the Catholic Church ;
they were received on the day of the
Feast of the Immaculate Conception,
December 8, 1902. Father Stroebele aft-
erwards came to the United States for
the purpose of collecting alms, to be
used to erect a new church for his con-
verts. His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons
and His Grace Archbishop Elder of
Cincinnati, recommended him most cor-
dially to their clergy. After the Church
was completed, he went to Cuba, Amer-
ican Catholics there having clamored
for an English-speaking priest. The
Rev. F. St. John was appointed his suc-
cessor in Old Providence, and under his
charge the mission has made such prog-
ress that a second chapel has since been
erected. In Piloto, Cuba, Father Stroe-
bele built a Retiro for old mission-
aries wishing to retire from active life.
Into this building he put all his sav-
ings, about $2,000.00, as well as $2,-
000.00 received from friends, and deeded
it to the Archbishop of Santiago de
Cuba. Contributor to several Catholic
Weeklies in the United States during his
missionary career, of articles describing
his travels, his difficulties, and his suc-
cesses in various mission fields. Vis-
ited Honduras and the Bay Islands,
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama
whilst doing missionary work on Old
Providence Island, and as these trips
had to be made in small sailing boats
(no steamers going at that time), he
was more than once in danger of death,
every year a number of boats being cap-
sized in the stormy sea. Once the
negroes making up the crew of the boat
lost their course, the compass having
gotten out of order, and the mission-
ary, together with the crew, had to un-
dergo an enforced fast of fourteen days
before they sighted land. Address: Nu-

SULLIVAN, Jeremiah Francis:
Jurist; b. August 19, 1851; at
Canaan, Conn.; s. of Michael Sullivan,
native of Ireland, who emigrated to Con-
necticut, then removed to California in
1852, and from there to Nevada, in
1862. Michael Sullivan was a man of
sound judgment, ready wit, and excel-
lent memory. His early schooling in
books was of the most meagre charac-
ter, but he educated himself by ob-
servation and reflection, and such direct
study as his little leisure allowed,
thus becoming familiar with the history
of the United States. He was a most
ardent admirer of the institutions of
our Government, and though never a
seeker of public office, he felt a lively
interest and took an active part in
polities. He despised pot-house trick-
sters and bosses, and never hesitated, on
occasion, to oppose or defy them. His
criterion was principle, and he would
suffer any sacrifice rather than com-
promise with dishonor. Jeremiah Sul-
livan's (Aildhood was passed at Nevada
City, the center of a rich mining dis-
trict, in which were gathered a number
of men of extraordinary talent, es-
pecially lawyers, who subsequently dis-
tinguished themselves throughout the
Pacific Coast. There he received lessons
in a private school until his parents
sent him to San Francisco and he
entered St. Ignatius College, gradua-
ting therefrom as bachelor of arts; he
afterwards received from that institu-
tion the degree of master of arts; Pro-
fessor of the classics and mathematics
in St. Ignatius College, San Franeisco,

at the same time studying law; ad-
mitted to practice in 1874. M. in 1876,
Ellen, d. of George D. Bliss, California
pioneer. Elected a member of the Board
of Education in 1877; Judge of the
Superior Court (1879) ; re-elected Judge
(1885) and resigned in 1889. Now-
practicing law in partnership with his
brother, Matthew I. Sullivan. As Judge
of the Superior Court, Judge Sullivan
was called on to settle several cele-
brated law suits, among others that
of Sarah Althea Hill vs. U. S. Senator
Sharon; of this, the New York Tribune
said: The decision of Judge Sullivan
in the Sharon-Hill case may be a sur-
prise to many. For while the case has
from the first been full of surprises,
and while the course of the plaintiff
and her counsel has often been such as
to create prejudice against her, there
have been so many points incompatible
with the hypothesis of bold, wholesale
fraud, that the most cautious observers
have hesitated to form definite con-
clusions. But of Judge Sullivan's capac-
ity, and lofty integrity, there has never
been any question among the lawyers
of California. He bears the highest rep-
utation for fidelity to duty, diligence,
and intellectual acumen, and any de-
cision from him carries much more than
ordinary weight. Is president of the
Young Men's Institute, and is identified
with fraternal and benevolent works of
other Catholic Societies. Address: San
Francisco, Cal.

written for the use of his class; Quips

1909. Although, toward the close of
his life, totally blind, his sense of
humor was unfailing. Even his afflic-
tion he made the subject of puns. Who
is speaking about my demise (dim
eyes) ? he demanded, overhearing two
students commenting on his bad sight.
I am very much alive. Once while he
was in conversation with the late Bishop
Curtis, of Baltimore, the latter re-
marked: I shall meet His Eminence,
Cardinal Gibbons, to-morrow; do you
want me to ask from him any favor
for you? Father Tabb replied: Oh, ask
him to give me a see. Father Tabb was
known among British critics, as the
foremost American poet of the day. Ec-
centric, a recluse, he was withal tender
and sympathetic; much beloved by the
students, to whom he was indeed Father
Tabb.

spondent for the New York Herald, and
Harper's Weekly during the Spanish
American War, and also started, in as-
sociation with W. S. Walsh, American
Notes and Queries, a most valuable and

ably best known as an intrepid traveler
in strange countries, embracing every
clime from the Arctic to near the
equator. London Table Talk has said of
him: Few men have such a relish
for exploration as Mr. Walsh. It seems
like the other day that we heard of him
as a member of a party of Arctic adven-
turers, and the delights of being ship-
wrecked in Polar waters were described
in a very instructive manner in the book
which he entitled, The Last Cruise of the
Miranda. His daring horseback ride
through Morocco has probably made him
more known than any other of his wan-
derings. In addition to the work al-
ready mentioned, he is author of By the
Potomac, and other Poems, and The
White World. At present he is editor
of The Travel Magazine. Was one of

mother's from Irish Protestants of North
Carolina. Contributor in prose and verse
to numerous periodicals and newspapers,
including the Catholic Sun of Syracuse,
and the old Catholic Mirror of Balti-
more. From long having cherished in
scrap books and loving memory the
poems of Father Ryan, the poet priest
of the South, Mrs. Wright, her brother,
and sisters, while still in their teens,
were led to think of the Catholic Church.
Brought up without religious instruction,
the relative value of Baptist and Metho-
dist doctrines were compared and found
wanting, and purely as a venture they
wrote to a Catholic priest in a neighbor-
ing city, whose name they had seen in
the social news of a local paper. He
wrote to them after an interval of three
months, recommending The Faith of our
Fathers and Catholic Belief; these books
were secured and read, and when finally
the brother and sisters announced that
they wished to become Catholics, they
met with such determined opposition
that they were on the point of turning
back. Then there came to the elder
sister a strange dream. She saw, as in
a vision, a bearded man, of Apostolic
mien, wearing a brown robe, with san-
dals on his feet, and a rope or girdle
around his waist. He stood, as it were,
at the foot of a staircase, and while they
stood troubled and doubtful, he said:
Go up, my children, you are right.
Encouraged by this dream, the brother
and sisters were soon baptized, an apt
illustration of the value of Catholic
literature in the hands of Protestants.
They count among those instrumental in
their conversion. Father Thomas F.
Price, the beloved missionary priest of
North Carolina. Address: 49 Old

tion, and editor of the Messenger of the
Sacred Heart, 1892; the Magazine was
later subdivided into two publications
becoming known as the Messenger, a
monthly magazine which, under Father
Wynne's leadership attained a high
standard, and the Messenger of the
Sacred Heart, or little Messenger as it
is affectionately called, devoted prin-
cipally to the interests of the Apostle-
ship of Prayer. Through the pages of
the Messenger, which dealt with all the
current topics of the day. Catholic his-
tory, doctrine, interests, and activities
gained merited recognition, and the
Editor became known as a fearless
champion for the rights of Catholics to
fair play and truthful representation in
non- Catholic magazines and publications.
Recognizing the power of a representa-
tive Catholic press. Father Wynne be-
came the originator of the Jesuit weekly
review, America, which superseded the
Messenger. First published in April,
1909, it had an immediate success as
filling a place long vacant in Catholic
literature; Father Wynne was also the
inaugurator of the Catholic Encyclope-
dia, an idea that had long lain dormant
in the minds of English speaking Catho-
lics, but which reached its initial stage
when Father Wynne gathered around
him, in 1904, the editorial and business
factors of the enterprise. This was fol-
lowed, in 1907, by a trip to Europe in
the interests of both projects, during
which the great universities and literary
centres of England, France, Germany,
Belgium, Holland, and Italy were visited
by the Rev. Editor, and a distinguished
body of contributors was secured for the
Encyclopedia, and an equally brilliant
staff of correspondents engaged for the
new review. In April 1910 Father
Wynne resigned the Editorship of Amer-
ica in order to devote all his time to
the Encyclopedia, which at the present
date although not yet finished, promises
to be a monument to the patience,
ability, and devotion of the Associate
Editors. Address: Fordham University,

GOD:
HIS KNOWABILITY, ESSENCE, AND ATTRIBUTES
A DOGMATIC TREATISE
Prefaced by a Brief General Introduction to the Study of Dogmatic Theology
BY THE REV. JOSEPH POHLE, Ph.D., D.D.,
Formerly Professor of Apologetics in the Catholic University of America, now Professor of
Dogma in the University of Breslau
Authorized English Version with Some Abridgment
and Added References
BY ARTHUR PREUSS
Cloth, 8vo. 479 pages, net $2.00. Postpaid, $2.15
Mil Dr. Pohle's famous Lehrbuch der Dogmatik has reached
tU five editions in less than a decade. This is the first
volume of an authorized English translation and comprises
the ** Gotteslehre " { De Deo Uno). It is complete in itself.
The second volume of the series, to be issued about Sept.
1st, 1911, will contain the treatise on the Divine Trinity. The
remaining volumes are to follow at the rate of two per annum.
One of the French theological reviews not long ago pub-
lished a "symposium" of opinions on manuals of theology, in
which the chief suggestions, agreed upon by a large number of
theological professors, were these:
(1.) The ideal manual should sacrifice questions of
merely Scholastic controversy; (2) it should pay due attention
to the latest researches in the history of dogma; (3) it should be
philosophical in its doctrinal exposition; (4) it should be dis-
criminative in its choice of proofs from Holy Scripture and the
Fathers; (5) it should be more careful than the average text-
book of the validity of arguments from "theological reason;"
and (6) it should be written in the vernacular, aim at concise-
ness and strength in style, and be equipped with an up-to-date
bibliography.
Competent critics agree that Pohle's Lehrbuch fulfills all
these requirements.
Mr. Preuss has paid due attention to the English literature
of the subject, as will appear from the annotations and biblio-
graphical references. The translation has been revised by sev-
eral competent American theologians and by the reverend
author himself.

Theology of the Sacraments
A STUDY IN POSITIVE THEOLOGY
BY THE VERY REV. P. POURRAT, V. Q.
Rector of the Theological Seminary in Lyons (France).
Translation from the Third French Edition.
Authorized
Cloth, 8vo.
XVI & 417 pages.
Net, $1,30.
The present book deals with that branch of its subject known as "The
Sacraments in General," and follows in the main the time-honored division
of that treatise. The definition of a Sacrament, its composition, its efficacy,
the Sacramental Character, the number of the Sacraments, their divine
institution, and the intention required in minister and recipient, from the
headings of the chapters.
The historical side of the questions, a side which has come to be of
such prime importance in present-day theology, and in Sacramental theology
in particular, is in the main, well and fully treated. Many citations from
the Fathers add interest to the work, and the translation seems sufficiently
accurate. — America.
HISTORY OF DOGMAS
VOLUME ONE
BY J. TIXERONT
440 pages.
Cloth, Svo.
Net, $1.50.
"Multum in parvo"feebly expresses the content of this comparatively
small volume which combines severity of scientific form with abundance of
material. Quality is harder to achieve than quantity. An extensive litera-
ture accompanies each topic treated, and there is a terseness of style and
limpidity also, which makes the book readable as one runs. One might
truly say, that this work furnishes an almost continuous translation of the
authors studied. The most striking feature is the sympathetic method
employed by the author who treats Christian thought as a living continuity
animated by the soul of the "traditio semper viva." It is a method of this
kind which will deprive the mechanical treatment followed by rationalists
of its force. These are pleased to regard Christianity as a fossil to be
exhumed out of early documents; for with them Christianity is primarily a
book embodying beliefs that need to be reconstructed in their original
simplicity. Hence their favorite geological similes of "layers," "strata,"
"additions," "foreign elements," and "corruptions." The author effect-
ively destroys the force of this mechanical method by the principle of
living continuity, which is the Catholic stronghold. Christian faith is not a
problem of addition, but one of growth and development. He points the
way for many who will follow. We bespeak for him and his volume the
attention of all our readers.

The DUBLIN REVIEW
NEW SERIES.
WILFRID WARD .... Editor
B. W. DEVAS .... Sub-Editor
Issued Quarterly:
Yearly Subscription, Free by Mail, $5.00
— The Dublin Review^ so often quoted and commended by us, is the old-
est and unquestionably the ablest Catholic periodical in the English lan-
guage. Indeed, its high standard of literary excellence and critical scholar-
ship is probably unsurpassed by any periodical in the world. English-
speaking Catholics may well feel proud of this review. Under the able
editorship of Dr. Wilfrid Ward, whose program from the first has been
guided by the desire to combine close attention to the intellectual and lit-
erary movements of the day, with absolute loyalty to the Church and the
Holy See, the historic Dublin Review, as Newman called it, has begun a
new era of prosperity and progress. Its circulation is increasing among
English-speaking Catholics everywhere; and its influence on those outside
the Church becoming more and more marked. It is almost a reproach to
any club or reading room not to be provided with the Dublin.— Ave Maria.

"There is scarcely a dull line in the book; men of the world

The Three Fundamental Principles
of the Spiritual Life
...BY...
MORITZ MESCHLER, S. J.
Cloth, 8vo. 240 Pages. Net $1.00.
The purpose of Father Meschler in writing this book was to
provide a compendium of the spiritual life which would be within
the reach of all Christians, no matter what their circumstances.
To this end he reduces Christian practice to three fundamental
principles — prayer, self-denial and the love of our Lord. Each of
these principles is treated of in simple, intimate but solid manner,
all essential points being touched upon briefly, concisely, but at the
same time very clearly. In spite of the brevity of the work it glows
with enthusiasm and is almost affectionate in its style, so that the
reader feels as if he had been talking with a loving friend. It is
characteristic of Father Meschler to invest his writings with that
joy which belongs of right to the Christian but is too often lost
sight of.

Commodore John Barry in the Making
BY CAPTAIN JAMES CONNOLLY
Cloth, 8vo.
^60 pages
Retail $1.50
The characters are certainly red-blooded men and women, who in their
various parts of the more dramatic scenes hold the interest to the end. Nearly
every one of the absorbing incidents enacted against the true historical back-
ground has a peculiar appeal of its own. The movement of the story never
lags till the hero, serving as Barry's "first lieutenant, wins the last sea fight
of the war.

"It is a well- written and well-informed sketch of the times in which
Christ chose to appear among men, and it endeavors to explain, not without
success, the various steps that led the Jewish nation to perpetrate the greatest
crime in history. When we say that the narrative reads like an original work
we think no higher praise can be given the translation." — America.

GIANNELLA
BY
MRS. HUGH PHASER
Cloth, 8vo. J 60 pages Retail $1.^0
" 'Giannella' is a Catholic novel in every sense of the
word. It is a deliciously quaint tale af Italian life. It is the Har-
land Italy Mrs. Fraser introduces us into, not the Crawford Italy.
In this novel the heroine is a waif, when we first meet her. But
her nurse, who is a strong-minded and most delightful soul, steers
her cleverly through the dark eclipse of her fortunes into wealth
and marriage. Her characters are distinctly drawn and move and
speak naturally. The cardinal is splendid; whilst the villain is
not such a bad fellow after all— which is as it should be. ' ' — America.
