NEW YORK'S NEW BISHOP
Mgr. Patrick J. Hayes, the saw

diocese of New ifork. haa the dis
tinction of being one of the last two
blehops appointed by Pope Plus X, the
other being Mgr. Thomas J. Shahan,
rotiior of the * citBUJie uuivenmrar
Washington. Bishop Hayes, who Is
forty-seven years old. Is ope of the
youngest of the American hierarchy.
Furthermore, hp has never been a
pastor, having been busy In official
positions during his 32 years of serv
ice as a priest. Ho was consecrated,
with Imposing ceremonial, as titular
bishop of Tagaste, a diocese In Africa,
where St. Augustine was bopA. ?...
Mgr. Hayes holds the Jotnffposl
tlbns of chancellor of the dloceke and
president of Cathedral cortege, bis of,

brother priest. v
When Mjr. Hayes sleeps Is not known. It one of the clergy has to io
to the hospital suddenly, before be Is settled in his room there Is a soft rap
at the door, and in walks "the little chancellor." When death takes away a
mother, an only slater or a favorite ntece or nephew of a fellow priest a gen
tle hand grasps his and a voice as tender as a woman's whispers Jn the ear,
"Blessed are the dead who die In the Lord," and "He gtveth his beloved
sleep." This Is Mgr. Hayes.
bishop Hayes knows almost every one of the 1,032 priests In the diocese
by name. He knows the characteristics of the men and understands the
nearest way to their hearts. During his office hours, from ten to one o'clock
every week day, clergy with troubled faces come to him by the score. Bui
when they emerge there are smiles on their faces. Something their chancelloi
has said has given them new courage, i

war trumpet sounded on August 1;
not literally, perhaps, but figuratively.
In 19 H he was retired at the age of
?tzty-four. and for three year* after
had lived without military responsi
bility on hi* eitate In Poaen, near
where he was horn. Then, when the
principal German armies were rushing
Into Belgium toward the plains of
Prance, there came a call to the ob
scure little village where General Hln
denburg lived. He was ordered to
take command of the kaiser's armies
appointed* to meet the czar's forces.
Horp In 1847. Hlndenborg entered the Third regiment of Foot Guards as
a subaltern In 1888. In thyar against Austria he commanded a company
after the death of the captam, who was his Immediate superior. At the beti
tie of Konlggrats, with about forty men, he took an Austrian battery. A few
days later the emperor conferred on htm the Order of the Red Eagle, with
crossed swords. This order Is ordinarily conferred only on majors or officers
of higher rank.
(p the Franco-Prussian war Hlndenbnrg was a captain, and took part In
the storming of St. Pre rat, near Metx, one of the bloodiest engagements of
' the war, in which the German loss was 40 per cent of those engaged. That
was on August II. Twelve days later he was In the battle of Sedan, where
he led his company In a charge. At the close of that battle Captain Hluden
burg was decorated by the emperor with the Order of the Iron Cross.
The other day, after the battle of East Prussia. Hlndenburg received his
third decoration direct from the hands of the emperor.
UNFORTUNATE MARIE ADELAIDE
?
Poor little Merle Adelaide, grand
duchess of Luxembourg, Is in distress
and deserves the sympathy of man
' kind. Her tiny principality, a buffer
state between Germany and France,
baa been absolutely overrun by the
kaiser's armies, and if Wllhelm should
come out of the war victorious it is
almost certain the grand duchy of
Luxembourg, only 1,000 square miles
in extent, would be wiped out as a
sovereign state.
When little Marie heard that the
kaiser's soldiers were oh the way she
lumped into her automobile and head
ed for the bridge that crossed the riv
er between her and jPressla. ' She
swung herc^r-efross the bridge and
when thefEalser's officers came along
she stamped her little foot at them
and said: "Don't you dare set foot in
my kingdom."
?' The kaiser's big, fine looking of
ficers were fiercely polite.
"We are lorry, your highness."
said they, "hut we have been ordered to proceed through your kingdom. Ycli
need have nothing to ftar from Us or our soldiers and we will pay you every
cent for any 'damage that may he done." ' .
Poor little Marie stamped her feet ,aBd shook her finger at the upturned
mustaches of' the officers and t,ol<l them Just exactly what mean sort of vil
lains she thought they were.' \ The officers were still polite and very, very
firm, and In the end Marie sat down In tier automobile weeping In vexation
and drove away^dEnil the kaiser's soldiers poured Into her lands.

London.?A French aviator la re

a German rifle bullet which be bad

that he waa flying at a height of about
Sevan thousand feet when he sudden
ly became aware of a small black ob

was an Insect of some kind.'and was
sufficient of an entomologist to realize
itbat a flying inaect at such an alti
tude was a cariosity. So he stretched
oat his hand and grasped what to bis
amazement proved to be a bullet.
He explained afterward that It was
evidently a rifle bullet tbat bad been
fired almost vertically and bad
reached Its utmost elevation. He
arrived on hla aeroplane just at the
moment when the ballet slowly turned
over and was about to fall again.

A story . Is told In the Aeroplanj of
an officer of high rank who had never
before been up In an aeroplane, and
who was taken up as an observer by
an English pilot Coming Into the
fire zone the aeroplane was hit several
times and one of the coptact cables
was cut through, rendering the task
of keeping the machine In band al
most Impossible. The pilot very skill
fully, however, managed to make a
sate descent and to land within his
own lines.
Then bis passenger, who had not In

cowardice. When the situation was
explained, and he realized that he

bears unmistakable evidence of the
dread malady.
When convincing proof had been ob

door of his home was opened for the
escape of wife and children. Mrs.
Norman was Instructed to cut away
from her husband forever. She left

more. They were locked and double
bolted. It was nine o'clock at night.
A chill breeze blew up acroea the Mall
from the river, fanning tbe swallow

coat. All the aaaociate Justices of the
Supreme court stood silently behind
the chief Justice, watching their chief
hopefully. It was absolutely Impera

building to the members ot the American Bar association, and the reception '
was scheduled to begin In a few minutes. ^
The chief justice merely shouted: "Open"up." ?
Somebody snickered, but nobody answered the summons. The associate
justices grew uneasy and shifted from foot to foot. Inside, through the bars
of the big bronze doors, was a scene of light and cheer. Men In evening garb
stood chatting gayly, awaiting the arrival of the Supreme court
The' chief justice looked about for a knocker. There was none. He
peepejl here and there for a door bell. There was none. Suddenly he discov
ered hp held a cane In his hand. He raised the cane menacingly. Once again
his order rang out in the night air: "Open up."
Hang! Hang!! Hang!!!
It waa the ferrule of the chief justice's cane against that valuable plate
glass. Instantly there was a commotion Inside. No less than half S dozen
uniformed-servants dashed toward the door to save that plate glass. But
the chief justice did not see the commotion and his cane banged loudly
against the plate glass until It seemed the glass surely must yield and shat
ter Into bits.
Then, the glass doors were swung open, the bolts on the bronze doors
were shot, locks ware turned and wide swung the great bronze doors to admit
the chief justice of the United States.

It is said that ^Secretary Lane immediately submitted the communication
to President Wilson, who asked that Little Bears "be thanked for his patriotic
attitude.
That a roving band of North American Indians should be so' deeply im
pressed by the kind of fighting which goes on day. after day on the European
battle grounds is pretty strong evidence that the ordinary noncombatant liT

Just as Easy as Burying a Politician, Said Taft
FORMER PRESIDENT WILLIAM H. TAFT proved the other day that he
haa loat none of his physical strength In the time he has been away from
Washington. Mr. Taft was honored by the Chevy Chase club, which par
chased an oak tree to be planted by
the former chief executive. The tree

large space tor the roots, but Mr. Taft
handled the spade with ease, and it
took him less than Ave urinates to
level the ground after the oak had.
been placed In position.
"It's as easy at burying a poli
tician," he declared, as he smoothed
the earth admiringly after the task
had been completed.
Mr.' Taft thanked the members of
the club for the honor they had bestowed upon mm. ana .declared oe wae

"The Chevy Chase club." he said, "Is doing a vast amount of work for
which It IS not given credit." . His remark that the expansive grounds offer
"a safety valve to politicians who cannot give expression to their sudden
emotions In public places" brought a chorus of laughter.
President Wilson Has Supplanted Niagara Falls
FOR many years It was customary for Englishmen on meeting an American
tourist for the first time to open the conversation with: "Prom America.
[ eh? You must be very proud of your Niagara falls?"
This was considered quite the
proper thing, and highly complimen
tary, since Niagara falls was the only
thing that England did not have
which excelled anything America had.
In the Britisher's opinion.

Kenna and Kipling were in conversation one day, with America and Ameri

led Kenna to remark:
."Yes, for rears and years you Englishmen, in the preliminaries following
an Introductipnrtb an American, would ask that question about Niagara falls.
