A most regrettable feature of the yellow fever epidemic In New Orleans was tho recent death of Archbishop Cbapelle, who succumbed to tlio dread dls- en so after weeks of heroic work and selr-Mcrlilco In tho Infected dtstrictof the af flicted southern city. Tho dead prelate had con tracted tlio fever while aiding tho nuthoritiea t o suppress tho epi demic among tlio foreign clement A r c h b I shop C h a p o He waa born In Franco louis. r. ciiArmxc. 03 years ago nnd was a member of ono of the most aristocratic families of that country. Ills health bad been undermined by his arduous duties ns npostollc delegates to the Philippines, Cuba and Porto IMco, yet despite th.it ho threw himself heart and soul Into the work of confining tho epidemic to a small section of New Orleana and sacrificed hla life In his efforts to aid tho stricken city. Archbishop Cbnpello leaves n record of faithful nnd enduring work, not only for his church, but for tho nation. When ho was rector of St. Matthqw'a Church In Washington he was brought Into constant touch with foreign dip lomats accredited to our government Through his acquaintance ho became profoundly versed In world's nITalrs. Ho was a truo statesman nnd took nn Intense Interest In the progress of tSo United States. It was hla broad-minded statesmanship and true catholicity of feeling that led to his selection as archbishop of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Later ho was transferred to Now Or leans, nnd his great ability and knowl edge made him the natural selection ns npostollc delegate to Cuba nnd Porto lllco. The archbishop's work thero wns not only In tho Intcrost of the Catholic Church, but of vital Import nnco to tho United States, for ho did much to overcome tho hostile feeling hold ngalnst this country by tho Cath olics of Cuba and Porto IMco. lie was also tho Pope's representative In the negotiations for tho purchaso of tho lands of tho Friars In tho Philippines. Archbishop Cliapelle, as a friend nnd companion, was without a superior. Ho wns full of reminiscences, was a charming story-toller, had a very healthy lovo of humor nnd a keenly humorous eye. Moreover ho had much tact, lie wns deeply beloved, not only by members of his church, but by all who cntuo under ht kindly Influence. In his death the Catholic Church suf fers nn almost Irreparable loss nnd tho nation loses a man who was great and good. LUXURIOUS ENGLI8H TRAINS.
