Largest Diocese in Area in America.
—Few Catholics know that the Salt
Lake diocese, of which Rt. Rev. Bishop

est diocese in area in America. Ter
ritorially it is as large as England,
Ireland and Portugal, yet it has only
a Catholic population of 15,000.
Knights Act.—Owing to the fact that
about sixty per cent of the men in
the officers' reserve training camp at
Fort Niagara, N. Y., are Catholics, a
movement has been started Hy the
members of the local council of the
Knights of Columbus, to arrange for
a suitable chapel and recreation room,

an officer of the Pennsylvania Nation
al Guard, has given three more boats
to the Naval Coast Patrol. They are
being fitted out at a Maine shipyard,
and will be assigned to the second sec
tion of the patrol. The Restless

•Kiven to the Government recently by
General Morrell, who is a Catholic
Sell Lands.—One of "the biggest
deals in Westmoreland County in re
cent years is a transfer by the Bene
dictine Fathers, St. Vincent Archab
bey at Beatty, Pa., to the Mt. Pleas
ant Coke Company. The tract em
braces 250 acres and it is about the

Irish Patriot Dies.—Rev. Patrick
Keating, 76 years old, pastor of the
Catholic Church of the Immaculate
Conception at Norfolk, Conn., since
1889, died recently. Father Keatin

there is a great religious revival in
France, and that chaplains can do un
told good in the army.
Noonday Mass.—With the approval
of his Bishop, the Rev. Michael
Corcoran, rector of St. John's Church
Newark, N. J., has arranged that here
after on each holy day a Mass will be
celebrated, starting at 12:2") o'clock
in the afternoon. This will afford
workers in the center of the city who
by force of circumstances are unable
to attend Mass in the morning before
going to work to do so during their
lunch hour. Catholics are obliged to
hear Mass oft holy days just as on
Sundays, but Father Corcoran found
thai many were compelled to miss at
tendance at times. The Mass will be
concluded in plenty of time to allow
the workers to return to their occu
pations without delay.
Crozier Presented.—Happy to greet
their distinguished guest, who has
been enrolled among the successors
of the Apostles, members of Com
modore Barry Council, 578, Knights of
Columbus, of Philadelphia, and hun
dreds of their friends, including many
priestf assembled in Cincinnatus
Hall, that city, recently to pay honor
to the Right Rev. James P. McClos
key. T). 1).* Bishop of Zamboanga, P. I.,
a charter member of the council. A
handsome crozier was presented to
the Bishop, whose speech of accept
ance thrilled his auditors, especially
when he related instances of how the
American Hag is revered in those is
lands of the Pacific.

'r*^nnial Chapter of New Sireiaco Abbey
pf the Benedictines, Aransas, was
KLANDS
held and jointly with it the 25th an
niversary of its foundation and the
25th anniversary or Silver Jubilee of
Abbot Conrad, on May 9. Many Bene
dictine Abbots graced the occasion.

present and delivered the discourse.
The Abbey is an extensive one. It
has 40 Benedictine priests under its
jurisdiction, 23 lay Brothers, several
Oblates,- 7 novices, and its Subiaco Col
lege has 100 students.
Holy Cross Patriots.—Rev. James
Mullen, S. J., says that the military
drill at Holy Cross College, Worces
ter, Mass., under the direction of Lieu
tenant O'Coftior, would continue de
spite the fact that many of the stu
dents had signified their intention of
leaving for farm and ship building oc
cupations. Nearly 496 students have
enrolled in the battalion, so even
should a large number of students
leave for other work the battalion will
still have a goodly number remaining.
Pray for Peace.—On Sunday, May
6, thousands of Cincinnati Catholics
complied with the request of Arch
bishop Moeller to observe an hour of
prayer from 3 to 4 p. m. to implore
the restoration of peace to the nations
of the earth. Churches were crowded
to their capacity for the services con
ducted by the pastors of the city. An
unusual feature of the services was
the twenty minutes of silent supplica
tion during which the choir sang the
Miserere. The Rosary and Archbishop
Carroll's prayer for the authorities
were recited, and Benediction and the
Divine Praises with the Psalm Lau
date Pueri concluded the devotions.
Archbishop
%Moeller
was present and
officiated at the services in St. Peter's
Cathedral.
Old Church Windows.—A group of
beautiful stained glass windows of six
teenth century workmanship has been
placed upon public view by the New
York Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The windows were purchased from the
fund bequeathed to the museum by the
late Joseph Pulitzer. The windows
came from the Abbey of Flavigny
near Nancy and Luneville, in eastern
France, and were designed by Valen
tin Bousch, who is celebrated as the
maker of the windows in the Cathe
dral at Metz. Two of the large com
pleted windows illustrate the Deluge
and Moses and the Law.
McCormack Raises $14,000. Mr
John McCormack, the famous Irish
tenor, raised $14,000 at a benefit as
sembly in what was said to be the
biggest "one man" benefit ever given
in New York. The proceeds were
turned over in two equal shares, one
to the Due de Richelieu for the French
Tuberculous Soldiers' Relief Fund
and the other half to Thomas Chap
man, editor of The Westmeath Inde
pendent, for the poor of McCormack's
native town, Athlone, Ireland. The

of Theodore P. Shonts, and several
more, soid allied colors, also the
green of the Emerald Isle, while some
grownup folk added ta the fund .from
souvenir programs. Bishop Curley, of
Florida, who was born in Athlone, was
a guest in a box.
Prieft* Decline® Captaincy. The
Rev. Michael W. Donovan, pastor of
St. Philomena" Church, Denver, Colo
was ottered a commission as captain
in the National Guard of Colorado by
Adjt. Gen. Frank D. Baldwin. Father
Donovan declined the honor, but sig
nified his willingness to enter the
service as a chaplain. Father Dono
van is well versed in military tactics
and is now drilling the company or
ganized by the Knights of Columbus.
St. Vincent de Paui.—The Queen'
Work tells us that the women's branch
of the St. Vincent de Paul Society in
Argentina comprises 5,000 members
the president being Madam T. P. de
Uribu, who was decorated by Pius
with the cross "pro Ecclesia et Pon
tifice" in recognition of hfer devoted

Antwerp is the BlesBed Anne of St
Bartholomew, the recently Beatified
Carmelite Nun, s
Ancient Family.C^loHna fam
ily of Rome, of which Prince Don
Marcantonio, Prince Assistant at the
Pontifical Throne is the present rep
resentative, dates its. historical ex
istence from the year 1101.
Brothers' Former Pupils.—Two for
mer pupils of the Christian Brothers
are now Archbishops in Australia
Archbishop Spence, O. P., of Adelaide
and Archbishop Duhig, of Brisbane,
Sunday Observance—In Granada
Spain, the members of the Third Or
der of St. Francis tacitly agreed
among themselves not to purchase
anything in stores on Sundays and
holy days. Very soon this led to a
general observance of Sunday in that
large city.
Aids Gal way Cathedral.—The late
Prof. Steinberger, University College,
Oalway,, Ireland, left two contingent
•T*
annuities of $1,000 each for the erec
tion and fnaintenance of the new Cath
olic Cathedral in Galway.
War and Evil.—The Bishop of Sal
ford, England, says "That whilst the
war has been the cause of many con
versions, it is a lamentable fact that
side by side wfth that there is a ter
rible spread Of evil and sin."
Eminent Convert.—"Guy Thorne," is
the pen-name of the author of "When
It Was Dark" (now in its five hundred
thousandth printing), and a dozen
other novels. His real name is Cyril
Arthur Edward Ranger Gull, eldest
son of the Rev. J. E. Gull, rector of
Rushall. Mr. Gull is an Oxford grad-,
uate, and lives in the island of Guern
sey. His conversion to the Church
adds still another eminent novelist
to the long list of Rome's recruits
from the ranks of men of letters.
House of Studies.—A very fine
House ^of Studies is that of St.
Thomas, at Zwolle, in Holland, erect
ed under the administration of the
present Master-General of the Domin
icans. Father Theisseling, O. P., who
is now on official visitation of the
houses of the Order in the United
States. The House in Holland is a
nursery Of theologians and mission
aries.
Japanese Trappist Mbnks.—At Hok
kaido, Japan, is the largest Trappist
monastery in the Orient. The monks
of this austere congregation have
made the desert bloom like the rose,
though when they first went to the
island Empire they were coldly re
ceived by the natives. In the past
twelve years ten young Japanese have
been enrolled in the community, and
seven at present are waiting for pro
fession.
Ancient Shrine.—In the ancient, his
torical ecclesiastical city of Orleans,
in France, so rich in Saints and
churches, is the Shrine of Our Lady
of Miracles dating from the Seventh
Century, and which Jann of Arc vis
ited on May 8,1429. A few years ago.
Orleans as a diocese had 27 hospi
tals and asylums.
Unusual Happening.—Surmounting
and crowning the Albert Cathedral, in
France, was a statue of the Blessed
Virgin, holding the Divine Child. It
fell over, was caught in the masonry,
and now appears in a horizontal posi
tion in the open, holding with out
stretched arms the Divine Infant. Its
position is to say the least a remark
able one—a veritable "Our Lady of
Peace," presenting to the world be
neath the Infant Saviour.
New Air Line.—Recently an aviator
arrived in Rome, Italy, from Turin
to inaugurate the aerial mail service
between that city and Rome. Amongst
the letters which he carried was one
of homage to Pope Benedict from Car
dinal Richelmy, "Archbishop of Turin
Propagation'of the Faith.—The So
ciety for the propagation of the Faith
reached its ninety-fifth year this May
Its usefulness to the mission cause
was never more clearly evinced than
at the present time, when the Faith,
though no longer an alien in the far
distant places of the world, is in dan
ger of expiring for want of nourish
ment. True the contributions to the
Society, have steadily increased each
year, but so have the needs of the
missions, and upon its help now de
pends their very life.
Bishop O'Dwyer.—Bishop O'Dwyer
of Limerick, Ireland, has, says a news
agency, addressed a letter to the press
reviewing the political situation in Ire
land and questioning the action of the
Irish Parliamentary Party in allowing
the Home Rule Bill to be hung up dur
ing the war. There would not, he
says, have been the trouble of last
year in Ireland but for the policy of
the party. He condemns generally
Mr. Redmond's leadership.
Irish Missions.—A Franciscan priest
who has just returned to Ireland for a
vacation after four years of mission
ary work among the tribes of Putu
mayo, made public the fact that the
establishment of the mission station
for the Irish priests in Putumayo, was
to a large extent, due to the represen
tations of Sir Roger Casement, who
was a generous contributor to the
funds for its work. As an instance of
the absurd rumors, spread by Case
ment's enemies through these remote
districts, Wie statement was circulated
that he was executed, not for what he
had done, but because he had ruined
the Peruvian rubber trade.
Catholic Novelist.—lieutenant Rob
ert Colingsby Clarke of the British
army in France, who was recently re
ceived into the Church, is the author
of nearly a hundred songs and piano
pieces, among them, "A Bowl of
Roses," the words by Henley. He also
wrote the music for "A Sheaf of Little
Songs" and "Songs of Summer."
Lieutenant Clarke is a graduate of
Marlborough College, and a B. A. of
Trinity College, Oxford. He is' a son
of the late Colonel F. C. H. Clarke,
C. M. G., Surveyor-General of Ceylon
his wife was a MissDiehl of
Philadelphia.
Distinguished Educator.—The Rev.
Daniel O'Connell died suddenly on
Easter Sunday morning at Medina del
Campo, Spain. Since September, 1915,
he had filled the position of vice rec
tor of the English College at Valla
dolid. Father O'Connell was born in
Waterford, sixty years ago, and pur
sued his ecclesiastical studies at the
Irish College, Paris, giving proofs of
high intellectual ability. He was
about thirty-five years a priest and
had been curate in many parishes of
his native diocese. Ill health obliged
him to give up mission work, and he
was touring through Spain when he
came to the English (jlollege, at Val
ladolid.- I

of a well known attorney of the cii:
and sister of the rector of St. Benoi*
Church, wrho has remained at

Rheims
all through the siege and was the com
fort and providence of the remaining
inhabitants, was killed by a burstiv
shell while essaying yet another work
of mercy. She had stopped her auto
to pick up a wounded soldier and carry
him more quickly to the ^hospital,
when she was^deeapitated by a shell.
Having made many pilgrimages to
Jerusalem, she had an ardent love for
the holy places and a" few weeks be
fore the war had erected a cross of
Jerusalem at Tagnon, Ardennes, or
ganizing a magnilicent fete on that oc
casion.
Friars Minor.—The Friars Minor
hold a high place in the missionary
world. In China, especially, results
show that the gentle sons of St. Fran
cis are well beloved and that the
pagans easily learn to follow the doc
trine they teach. Recent statistics
regarding the Order in China state
that they have charge of ten vicariates
comprising a population of 69,524,000.
Of these, 221,606 have already joined
the fold of the true Church, while 130,
865 catechumens are preparing them
selves for this grace. The mission
aries are 348 in number and have
charge of 1,783 churches and chapels.
The 16 seminaries total 353 seminari
ans, while in 30 colleges 1,130 stu
dents are receiving a higher educa
tion. The elementary schools are
1,095 in number, with an enrollment
of 21,573 children,"of whom 2,973 are
of the true faith. A great share ef
the glory and reward in these labors
belongs to the Franciscan Missionary
Sisters of Mary, who, by their fidelity
and zeal, are of invaluable service to
the missionaries in spreading and con
firming the kingdom of Christ.
