Murphy Farley, was set aside In baby
hood for the church, and since he be
came a priest ?A years ago he has held
practically every office in the church
below that of cardinal, a circumstance
which doubtless would stand him in good
stead should he ever receive the red hat.
In this respect his career contrasts
strangely with that of the archbishop of
Boston, who has held" only three or iour
offices below that of' cardinal.
Succeeding the late Archbishop Corri
gan six years ago. Archbishop Farley, by
his conduct of tins country's largest
Catholic archdiocese, has won an inter
national reputation as an ecclesiastical
administrator. Back in the early '0s,
when he became the secretary of Cardi
nal McCloskey. the first American to re
ceive the red hat, he secured his wide
reputation as an expert in canon law.
Until Cardinal McCloskey's death. Arch
bishop Farley was closely associated
with him, and as his secretary kept the
accounts of the building of St. Patrick's
Cathedral, in which famous edifice the
archbishop now preaches. During the
rather recent centenary celebration of the
New York archdiocese, its head was much
in the public eye, and at that time there
waa a great deal of talk to the effect
that, after Archbishop Ireland, he was
America's most likely candidate for car
dinal. He now lacks four years of being
78.
The birthplace of Archbishop Farley
was Ireland; he came to this country
when he was 17. Archbishop Sebastian
Messmer, of Milwaukee, is a native of
Switzerland, and did not come to -this
country until after he had been ordained
priest in his home town of fit. Gall. That
was in 1S71, a year after Archbishop Far
ley had 1 een ordained in Rome, following
his four years' course in the American
College there.
The future archbishop of Milwaukee be
gan his American career as a theological
professor in a New Jersey seminary: and
from then on until he waa appointed
bishop of Green Bay. Wis., In 18'J2. he
held various professorial posts, develop
ing into one of this country's leading
theologians and Latinists. He accepted
the bishopric only after Pope Leo bad
refused to let him remain In his chair at
the Catholic university. As bishop he
made good, and when death caused a va
cancy in the -Milwaukee archdiocese lie
waa sent there, succeeding, five years
ago. the man he succeeded as bishoi.
Archbishop Messmer is looked upon as
the leader of the German-American Cath
olics, largely because of the location of
his see. He believes that Catholics should
deal with public questions as they choose.
and holds that they show unjustifiable
weakness if they do not. He came for
ward with this statement when Archbish
op Ireland urged his co-religionists not to
embarrass President Roosevelt in his pol
icy of dealing with the friar question In
the Philippines. Kxplalning his state
ment. Archbishop Mesamer aid:
'To be good citizens: It Is necessary
that men should have an intimate under
standing of all questions in which their
country is involved. They must proceed
with a clear mind to the discussion of
all these issues, and must lend their aid
and influence to the Just eettlement of
them. They should not be deterred from
this patriotic duty by any outside consid
eration, and . although Catholic cltixens
should act hi accord with their splrttual
advisers, they should remain firm in what
they know is the right path."

The Old World has sent full measure
Stable Constructed of Concrete Throughout
THE use of concrete in special forms
of construction has ceased to be a
matter of wonder to architects and con
tractors. Its cheapness, strength and
adaptability are, however, much dis
cussed in technical publications. From
this point of view the stable recently
built by Robert E. Griffith at Haverferd,
Pa., Is Interesting. It is thus described
by Randolph Parry, of Philadelphia,
who designed it:
The stable is of very solid character,
comparing from that standpoint very
favorably Tylth the best examples of
brick and stone. In designing the
structure the practical and convenient
features were given the first considera
tion. Artistic effects were a secondary
matter, yet the results are entirely
pleasing from an architectural stand
point. The same methods of construc
tion here employed could, with equally
good results, have been applied to a
dwelling.

a matter of decided importance and Is
closely scrutinized by the prospective
buirdcr. While the walls and columns
of this stable did not cost more than
if constructed of wood, brick or stone,
they possess the decided advantage of
never requiring painting or repairs. If
the methods here -employed were ap
plied to a dwelling-house, a further
economy would be effected through an
elimination of the necessity for furring
and plastering. A dwelling thus con
