, ' Cardinal McCloskey died on Saturday
morning, at 10 minutes to 1 o'clock, in
the archicpiscopal residence on Madi
son Aveoue, in New York, just oppo
site the great cathedral. He became
unconscious at 4 o'clock in the after
noon and so remained until the end.
The New York Herald, in speaking ol
his death says :
There is no word to bo said of Cardi
nal McCloskey that ia not to his honor.
An American born, he rose by the pow
er of his personal qualifications to the
highest dignities ot the Church to whose
service he devoted a life ol unremitting
conscientious endeavor. Despite the
temptation which might well assail
ono occupying his position of rank and
influence, it is to be said of him that ho
never disturbed the Herenity of his pur
pose or marred his ecclesiastical work
by interference in general public polity.
His devotion was to his Church, and
in his other relations he was simply an
upright citizen and a Christian.
