The expressions of sorrow the

of the community where his life-

work has accomplished so mudfor the relief of suffering aiding

the distressed providing for the

homeless teaching charity andbrotherly love aside from and in

addition to his great and unceasing

labors in behalf of the church

Father Bouchet son of humble

parents in Auvergne France striv

ing for his vocation to the priesthood amid conditions of persecution such as prevail in France

today was forced to go to HaavenHolland to complete his education

and had been ordained a deacon

when in 1853 on invitation of

Bishop Spalding he came jto thiscountry After a few months a-

Mount St Marys College he was

r ordained priest and came to thiscity then a hotbed of KnowNoth

Iing fanaticisms to begin his priestlylabors where he was destined to a-

long arduous but most fruitful

mission as results attest The

growth of Catholicity in those fifty

yearsthe forming of parishes

leges

hospitals seminaries cem ¬

eteriesin all of which FatherBouchet aided in some way by ad-

vice

ment from mere suggestions to

actual work in every detail foij Father Bouchet was not only a

zealous self saerificing priest but

a genius of mathematics finance

almost anything More than thirty

years ago he had a cash register of

his own invention The pumpingapparatus the beauties of St Louiscemetery the building and arrange-ment of numerous Catholic institut-

ions throughout the diocese areafter his plans and direction HadFather Bouchet chosen the voca ¬

tion of mechanics finance or com¬

always bigger than his purse hisall went to charity

For all that he did as priestgenius scholar worker in every

sphere he neither sought nor re¬

ceived financial reward nor credi-

community is benefited the workis better whose taking away is tialoss to mankind but whose workremain as his monument and aheritage to his fellowmen

After a life so well spent FatherBouchet has gone to his rewardMay his soul rest in peace

IRISH CONVENTION MEETS

The great Irish convention to

consider the land bill and otherimportant issues affecting the Irishpeople is in session in DublinThere are over 2000 delegatesrepresenting every party creed andclass including prominent Irishmen from the colonies and theUnited States It is the mostnotable gathering of Irishmen andtheir decendants ever assembledand upon their utterances and acts

much depends for weal or woe toIreland The indications are thatthe fears of Irelands friends and

the hopes of Irelands enemies

that dissension animosity vindictiveness and radical words and de-

cisions

¬

may blast all chance ot

benefit to Ireland and manifestrish incompetence to unite or rule

are unfoundedThat there may be general and

varied discussion among men rep¬

resenting so many classes sections

and ideas is likely but all seemimpressed with the gravity of theoccasion and situation and imbuedwith the one motive to further andlift up their oppressed country andultimate harmony and unanimityof action is fully expected by Irish

leadersDublinwith its mass convention

of Irish representatives discussingrish national matters attracts the

attention and willbe the subject ofhe worlds comment May the

esults be such not only to insurehe attainment of success in most

eneficent legislation but also toreflect credit upon Irish patriotismability and conservativism

INDORSED

Wytidhams Land Bill UnanimousApproved by the United

Irish League

DunuN April 16The racial strengthof the Celtic character was clearly ex-

hibited today in the proceedings of thefirst session of the National conventionin the spirit manifested in the speechesnUll in the warm patriotic sentiment expressed The whole assembly of 2500

I

Idelegates was a representation of tbeIrishman at his best There was cxubeant good nature everywhere Enthusiasm

Iwas rampant and controllable only by

the restraining sense of duty whichI

carries everything before it at a gatherI

tIlawImaker where instinctivelywhatever the frolicsome promptings ofhis nature may tempt him to do he mustnot fulfill the sinister prediction of WeAngloSaxon enemy and become divide

Indeed nothing could well have beenbetter than the whole demeanor of thlaunrecognized national assembly of Ire-

land in the good sense unflagging atten-tion orderly procedure which charadeized the days labors In a historicsense it was the nonofficial parliamentof Ireland solemnly deliberating IfCeltic lightheartedness can ever be reallsolemn it would be in discussing howbest to end the agrarian war whichpractically has never ceased in Irelanduring the past 300 years

This convention in most characteristicthe reverse side is not so attractive orconsoling There was some weaknejust where it is always found and wherthe occasion and opportunity calls forand counsels a stern stand for justiceIt was not taken The convention andthe Irish Parliamentary party combinecould have forced the hands of tlleGovernment and insured by a policy ofcourageous action the concession ofmost of the amendments which will beadopted tomorrow This stand was nottaken The bill was blessed in volinand cursed in phrase it was a good bi1land a bad one a concession to Irishstrength and a stroke of beneficesEnglish statesmanship Redmond andOBrien in eloquent speeches empha-sized the danger of severe criticism andexamination of the proposals of Wyndhams scheme while hoping that thisforbearance of the Irish people wouldplead for a better bill than the defectivmeasure under consideration

All this was honest and well inten-tioned out the interpretation which theChief Secretary and English press will putupon so contradictory attitude will bethat the compromise is weakness on thepart of the Irish leaders where the rea

facts and circumstances of the presentpolitical situation should render the Irishmovement strong enough to demand am

obtain some of its most extreme claimsFully 500 clergymen mostly Catholl

priests were present It was the duty ofFather Humphreys of Tipperary to facea good tempered but hostile audience of2490 out of 2500 of his countrymen in iia

hopeless effort to have the bill rfjctidijby the convent jos

the delegates were about equally dievided upon the amendment proposed toOBriens motion which defined the genera attitude of the Irish party towardthe bill This attitude as I foreshadowerwas one of conservative action It accept-

ed the Wyndham measure as a platneedingamendment but asked that theIrish party should be intrusted with the

task endeavoring to obtain such concessions from the Government in the

committee stage of the bill as wouldnable the members to present a newlaud act to the Irish people as a final

udingof the Irish land struggleThe amendment to this motion was not

hostile to the spirit and purpose of thejartys plan of action but it took excep-

tion to the proposition that the bill evenif improved to the extent of OBrienssuggestions could be a final settlementof the land question while large numbersof landlord estates would remain underthe old rent system-

It was likewise urged that the convenion should stand adjourned tomorrowintil Government proposals had emerged

from the ordeal of the committee stagewhen the delegates shouldassemble

gain and hear the Irish Parliamentaryparty report upon the fate of the convenious amendments to the measure Thedelegates were about equally divided inupport of the amendment and originalesoluiou but the mover of this amend-ment having no intention to weakenledmonds position in the estimation ofEnglish parties or opinion withdrew hisnotion and the OBrien resolution wasunanimously adopted

The proceedings tomorrow willembracethe discussion of some fifty proposedmendments to the bill There will beno very contentious questions arisingand the whole work of tire conventionrill probably end in the adoption of pro-

posals which ask the Irish party to do itsbest to obtain concessions from the Gov

rrment upon the evicted tenants questiltn the agricultural laborers claims thecutting down of the price tenants are topay for their holdings the safeguardingof the farmers statutory rights under the

Gladstone land act of 1881 increase oflower and means with which to deal

with the problem of poverty in Westreland and some minor changes in theVyndham plan of settlement The har-

mony unanimity good feeling and unionare almost certain to prevail to the end ofwhat wilt be known as one of the largestand most influential conventions everheld in Ireland MlCHAUl DAVITT
