Cardinal Michael Logne. venerable Archbishop
of Armagh, and Primate of All Ireland, “the suc
cessor of St. Patrick" who died this week was one
who strove for Irish tranquillity and peace.
The guerrilla tactics of the Sinn Fein sympa
thizers and the reprisals of the lllack and Tans
filled him with horror and evoked strong pastoral
letters denouncing the crimes which. in 10 2*'.
brought Ireland to the verge of rival war
Exhorting the people to prayer and to avoid
all associations leading to crime and disaster, the
Cardinal in November of that year charged that
"the activities of the British Military authorities
are being carried into districts which hitherto have
been considered peaceful.” He concluded: “God
help onr country, moaning under this competition
in murder" The calamities in Ireland, he de
clared. were greater than in the memory of any
Cardinal Pogue was physically small, with grey
hair, ruddy face and blue eyes and was vigorous
and energetic despite his eighty years. He de
nounced the attempt on the life of Viscount French.,
the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in 1919 and said
that the shootinc of the police was “plain murder.”
When conditions became critical he forbade pol
itical meetings: later h- received a warning threat
ening his life
The Cardinal paid a visit to the I'nited State?
in 190$, at he time of the centenary celebration
of the founding of the Roman Catholic archdio
cese of New York. He celebrated pontifical mass
in St. Patrick's Cathedral in a $6 ■ • •>0 vestment
and later was a guest of Pre>ident Roosevelt whom
he greatly admired. Before returning home he
placed a wreath on :ho tomb of Georee Washing
ton at Mt. Vernon. He also met Andrew Carne
gie and John D. Rockefeller and in a public state
ment praised them for their philanthropies.

later he became a dean of Maynooth and'professor

the chair of dogmatic and moral theology.

for it was a v never before attained by even
the greatest oi 4 Primates going back to the
days of St. Patrick. The Cathedral of Armagh,
under his administration was enlarged in 1S97 by
the addition of Synod Hall, northeast of the main
edifice. Seven years later the Cardinal broke all
preceedents by having the historic interior of the
Cathedral redecorated. The work, begun in 1900
was finished in 1904. and resulted in attracting
many pilgrims to Armagh.
The death of the Cardinal was a blow to his
diocese as no intimation of sickness had been made.
MARK TWAIN’S NEVADA CABIN TO
BE PRESERVED IN RENO PARK
RENO, Nev., Nov. 20, CAPi—The cabin in
which Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) lived for a
time in Aurora, Nev., is to be brought to Reno
and placed in one of the parks. The cabin is
situated on the property of George Wingfield, min
ing magnate, who is preparing to transfer title to
it and its furnishings.
The abode is much as Mark Twain left it when
he deserted the West for the East. The stove
on which he cooked, though a trifle antiquated,
is still in its place, and the wooden bunk on which
the author reclined when he thought out some
of his western tales is still intact.
It was in this cabin that he wrote “Roughing
It" and many other stories that carried the tang
of Nevada.

WASHINGTON BROUGHT TO LIGHT
WASHINGTON. D. <’.. Nov. IS. (AP)— A copy
of a l atent on making punches and matrices In the

has been brought to light by the patent office. This
was the fourth patent granted by Uncle Sam and
bears the signature of the President of the United
States. George Washington: Secretary of State. Thos

Jefferson signed the document the second time,
when he certified its delivery to the printer. The
great seal of the nation is set on it.
In those days patents were granted by the pres
ident. countersigned by the secretary of state and
the attorney general, and personally delivered to
the applicant by the secretary of state. The Bailey
patent is the only fac-simile copy of which there is
a record in the republic’s early days.
Written in long hand in the old English of that
period at Philadelphia, then the American capital,
the document reads as follows:
“To all to whom these presents shall come.

TACOMA. Nov IS. (API — The thirst for al
coholic liquor again is becoming expensive here,
and in all cities in the Pacific Northwest, because
of the governments plan to curb the transportation
of illicit beverages on Puget Sound through the
use of a fleet of rum hunters. The government
boats have a speed of 24 miles an hour and are
armed with machine guns.
The government announcement that smugglers
would be hunted down relentlessly in their traffic
from Canada to the American cities resulted in an
immediate increase in prices. Previously whiskey
prices were so low that bootleggers were making
small profits. The price of Canadian whiskey was
raised $5 a case by the wholesale bootleggers, and
the retail price was increased 50c a quart, which

ICELANDIC PORTS IIRMAK INTO
VKRSE TO GREET AVIATORS
HOFN HORN A FJORD. Iceland. (AP)—-When
an Icelandi. poet wrote a song to the tune of
"Yankee D die" celebrating the arrival here of
the Ameri* a globe-encircling airmen on their
long journt across the Atlantic it was rather a
special occasion for the Americans and the Amer
ican translation was adopted and sung by* some
of the sailors from the .cruiser Raleigh, which lay
off the fjord to "mother" the flight.
But it was nothing new for foornafjord. where
even children chant songs of their own compos
ition. and the s-agas of the old Norse Vikings,
who. more than 1.000 years ago swept these nor
thern seas are handed down from generation to
generation in the language in which they were or
iginally sung, faithful to the old texts. For Ice
land has a remarkably rich literature of its own.
botn written and oral, and poetry is especially
adapted to the Icelandic tongue.
In Hofn Hornafjord. isolated from the rest
of Iceland by impassable mountains and seas that
are often too stormy to allow the passage of the
small Icelandic passenger vessels, many of the ol*
viking customs are still observed. They include
the gathering of the family each evening during
the long almost sunless winter, when sagas are
chanted and the heroic deeds of the old Norse
men recounted. No longer do the Icelanders
live in turf huts, as did their ancestors, and Horn
afjord has modern homes of galvanized iron and
cement, but the family gathering is as important
today as it was 1.000 years ago. The women
dress in their quaint gowns of black silk, often
embroidered in silver and gold, and wear the little
black national cap or bonnet, a heritage of the
early Norse settlers. In the long winter nights
there is little to do. and the evenings are devoted
to the arts, literature, music, painting and draw
ing. Many of the villagers are graduates of
the National University of Reykjavik, and others
have been educated at Copenhagen or other con
tinental c&pitols
