Daniel J. Casey was
born in New York City on Sept. 14, 1895, and graduated from high school at
the age of fourteen. He then entered college conducted by the Jesuit
Fathers in Boston, Mass. After graduation, he spent one year abroad. On
the 11th of December, 1917, he was enlisted at Columbus Barracks, Ohio. He
served as sergeant of the air service overseas and became a commission
officer just as the war ceased. On his return to the United States Mr.
Casey studied law and was admitted to the bar in Massachusetts. But the
Catholic Press was the field of his choice. It mattered naught in what
capacity he served. He worked with the same zest seeking advertising or
selling subscriptions as he did with his pen. Mr. Casey went to St. Louis
in 1932 and was perhaps best known to readers of the Western Watchman
through his column, “Our Weekly Dozen.” His squibs were quoted by Catholic
newspapers from coast to coast. Mr. Casey was married to Antoinette Will
of Colby, Wisconsin, on February 2, 1930. His sudden passing, being sick
with pneumonia but three days, is mourned by his wife and daughter, Mary
Ann. Also his mother, two brothers, Joe and Jim, and two sisters, Beatrice
and Margaret, of Boston, Mass.

The late Governor Eustis, who died at
Boston on Sunday the 6th inst., in the 75th year of
his age, had been in public life for half a century, commencing his career
at Cambridge, in 1775, as a surgeon in the American army. In this
capacity he served during the whole war, and acquired an influence in the
army beyond any man in the country similarly situated. In 1787 he
was appointed surgeon general to Lincoln’s forces, raised to suppress
Shay’s insurrection, and was surgeon, advisor and warrior, during the
campaign. Since the adoption of the Federal Constitution, he has
been generally employed in public life. He has represented Boston in
the Legislature of Massachusetts, for several years – then was sent to
Congress from the district of Suffolk – had been Secretary at War, Foreign
Minister, Representative of Norfolk, and has been twice elected to the
office in which he died, Governor of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
The worthy Governor was distinguished for
frankness of disposition and decision of character. In the staff, he
discovered the spirit of a soldier and never was satisfied with the duties
of private life. His acts in his high office as Governor have been
marked with no violence of character, but in all cases he has heard
patiently and decided fearlessly. The duties of the Chief Magistrate
now devolve on the Lieutenant Governor, Marcus Morton, a gentleman in the
prime of life, a man enlightened, courteous, cautious, independent and
eminently acquainted with every form of office. The heroes of the
Revolution are falling around us, as the last leaves of the tree in the
autumnal blast.

Frank
Stearns, 'Discoverer' of Coolidge, Dead
BOSTON, March 7
(AP)—Frank W. Stearns, the Boston dry goods merchant who became known as
the "White House floorwalker" in the administration of Calvin
Coolidge, is dead.
The eighty-two-year-old department store executive
died in his home of pneumonia, second of the close advisors to the late
President to die within two days. John G. Sargent, attorney-general in the
Coolidge cabinet, died at Ludlow, Vt. Sunday.
Stearns became a national
figure because of his "discovery" of Coolidge and because of his
unrelenting work in the Massachusetts Governor's behalf. His faith in the
quiet Vermonter was one of the factors which carried Coolidge from a post
as state senator in Massachusetts to the presidency.
His "floorwalker"
title came to him because of his capacity for intervention to
save the President from inconveniences. Of his place in the
White House circle he once said, "Oh, I just run a few errands He became
known as a "mystery man" because of his reticence.
Stearns, after his

and first organized a medical school, which has been constantly increasing
in usefulness and extent. He possessed great skill in surgical operations,
great decision and rapidity. Perhaps no physician was ever more
