is respectable and accessible.

man Catholic faith, died in St. Cather

bishop of Chicago dedicated recently
the imposing Cudahy Science Hall of
Loyola University, Chicago, costing
$130,000. Rev. Fr. Alexander J. Bur
rowes, S. J., President of St. Louis
University, was the principal speaker
on the occasion. Fr. Burrowes laid
great stress on the influence exerted
on the life of the nation by institutions
of higher learning but, he said, it is
because of this very influence that we
have to be most careful to see that
they teach only sound doctrine, other
wise their work will be subversive of
the basic principles on which the na
tion is built. Joseph Cudahy pre
sented the new building to the uni
versity in the name of the Cudahy
family.

RLANDS.

Methodists allow him $1,490 a year.
There are about 15,000 Italians in Den
ver and in a few years they will out
number all its foreign-born citizens.
It is proving a rich field for the
proselytizers, who have ample funds
behind them to carry on their mis
representation of the Catholic Church
and destruction of all Christian faith
in the hearts of these people.
Medals Given By Pius IX Lost.—
After months of search the Columbian
Assembly, K. of C., of New York, has

presented by His Holiness Pius IX, to
New York City, in 1848, and accepted

custody of the keeper of City Hall,
despite a recommendation by the
Mayor that a safe place be "provided

students of Saint Clara College, Sin
sinawa, Wis., gave "Queen Esther," a
sacred cantata by Cady-Bradbury,
revised for dramatic presentation by

efforts to bring about the organization
of an Italian branch of the great Cath
olic Order in Rhode Island.

cation from the Nuns of the. Sacred

ess of the Carmelites, died suddenly at

ed Archbishop of Athens on the 25th

Coadjutor Bishop for Glasgow.—

view to the appointment by the Holy
See of a Coadjutor Bishop for the
Archdiocese.
Prefecture of French Guinea.—The
Prefecture of French Guinea is the
most recent of all the French missions
established on the west coast of
Africa. It was started at the time
that anti-clericalism apd hatred for
the Church were beginning to spread
abroad. From the fact that it burst
into life in the very midst of persecu
tion, like many of its sister missions,
it could not obtain gratuitously, in the
names of civilization, tracts of land,
the cultivation of which serve to de
fray the expense of supporting or
phans, but was obliged to purchase ex
tremely poor sites, far too limited for
the number of children that might
have been received.
Abbe Perosi in Paris.—To the cred'
it of Abbe Perosi, Director of the Sis
tine Choir, another great success has
been just placed in the musical world
of Paris. Amidst general applause
the young composer conducted last
week in the French capital two of his
finest Oratorios, viz: In Memoriam
Patris and Transitus Animae. The
professional critics of Paris who spare
no man, have been most eager to ap
plaud the great artist, who, indeed, is
worthy of all the praise they give
him for the unselfishness with which
he has given himself to religious
•music with a hope of little material
reward.

given in this interesting old town,
which retains traces of Spanish occu
pation, in its cathedral and market.
The former also boasts of one of the
finest carved pulpits in Belgium,
whose churches are celebrated for
their carving. This wonderful struc
ture represents the tree of life, the
foliage being of a delicacy unexcelled,
and the figures of Adam and Eve of
remarkable beauty. A great influx of
visitors is expected for the fetes,
which will be presided over by Cardi
nal Mercier, who has his archiepis
copal see at Malines.
Artist's Masterpiece Presented to
Dublin Church.—In memory of the
late Francis O'Donohoe, A. R. H. A.,

propriate time of Easter. An inscrip
tion in brass bears the following
words:—"Pray for the soul of Francis
O'Donohoe, A. R. H. A., who painted
this picture of Christ's triumph over
death. Presented by his sorrowing
parents, Easter, 1912."
The Univers Will be a Religious
Paper.—A number of Royalists have
purchased the recently suspended great
paper the "Univers," which, under
Louis Veuillot exercised such a pre
dominating political and religious in
fluence in France. Its new editor will
be M. Arthur Loth, who went to Rome
to assure the Vatican that his ambition
would be to make the new "Univers,"
a purely religious organ. His Emin
ence Cardinal Merry del Val, in the
name of His Holiness, declared to Mr.
Loth that the Holy See wishes to keep
religious interests outside politics in
order to avoid furnishing any pretext
for persecution. While combatting
what is inimical to the Church, it
should not espouse any political cause
or movement.
Master of Apostolic Palaces Dead.
—The venerable Marquis Sacchetti, a
layman, and Grand Quarter Master of
the Apostolic Palaces ever since the
Pontificate of Pius IX., is dead at th$
age of 80 years.
Reparation Service In Pisa Cathe
dral.—Because of a sacrilege com
mitted in the Cathedral of Pisa, Italy,

Pontifical Mass and exposed the
Blessed Sacrament, and the venerable

robbed of its crown and jewels, was
exposed to the veneration of the
people.

The Bollandists.—When the learned
Jesuit, John Bolland, of Antwerp, in
the seventeenth century, conceived
the thought of compiling a history of
all the canonized saints of the Cath
olic Church, he knew that a gigantic
task lay before him which could never
be accomplished by one man or in
one century. Since A. D. 1630, volume
after volume of Bolland's proposed
work—the lives of all the canonized
saints, old and young, men and women,
laymen and clergy, virgins, widows,
married and single, martyrs, confes
sors and apostles—has been pub
lished and 'no matter which of the
Jesuits wrote the volume or a part of
it, the general name of Bollandists has
has been given to the whole immense
collection.
