New York, April 19 ?His Eminence, John Cardinal Farley, will celebrate this seventy-first birthday annWersary tomorrow by officiating at high mass in St. Patrick's Cathedral. Born la Armagh, Ireland, April 20, 1842, John M. Furley came to America about the middle of the Civil War. In 1864 he entered 8t. John's College, Fordham, continued his studies in St. Joseph's 8erolnary. Troy, and went thence to the Aryer.?can CeHeaaw Borne.yhere he was ordained a priest on June 11. 1870. Returplng: to New York he waa pfc-. signed to St. Peter's, Now Brighton, S. I. He was taken thence to the secretary to Cardinal McCloskey. He celebrated the centennary of the diocese In 1908 and the following year raised $850;000 to pay off the debt on the Cathedral and consecrate It. The prince of the church is particularly interested just now in the establishment of settlement houses in the poorer parts of the city, especially for newly arrived foreigners. One of the Institutions of which he is very fpnd is the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. Mgr. Jno. J. Dunn, its director, sent to foreign missions last year over $100,000. Cardinal Farley is one of the busiest men in New-York City. Every Catholic church has its own corpora. tlon. of which he is head. For the raising of money every mortgage must bear his signature. He must be acquainted with the finances of his parishes and institutions. This means meetings to be attended. Matters of civil and ecclesiastical laws on marriage must be judged, and many visitors seen. UfCAL PASTOR AND ELDER TO ATTENB'ASSEMBLY Bav. H.' B.
