C., is planning to celebrate, next Oc
tober, the one hundredth anniversary
of its establishment. The first meet
ing to devise a suitable method' of
commemorating the anniversary will
be held on May 10 in one of the col
lege buildings. At the time of its
foundation the institution was called
Washington Seminary. Shortly after
its beginning the school had to be en
larged and has had a steady growth
since. Additional buildings were
erected within the last year. Many
prominent business and professional
men of the District of Columbia, Mary
land, and Virginia, are former stu
dents of Gonzaga. i
Catholic Charities Aided 4,500
Households.—Forty-five hundred fam
ilies in and about Chicago received
help from the Associated Catholic
Charities of the Archdiocese of Chica
go last year, according to a report is
sued April 28, in preparation for the
work of the coming year. With the
issuing of this statement, plans were
put under way for the collection of
the great fund, which, because of un
usual economic conditions, will be
needed to meet the demands on these
charities in the coming year. The
Catholic Charities enters its fourth
year with a fine record of growth and
achievement. It was organized in
March, 1919, and during its first year
had a total of 50.000 subscribers who
contributed a total of $432,266.42. The
.v..
following year there were 57,0# Sub
scribers with a total subscription of
$509,264.54, while Jast year 62,000 con
tributed $517,031 90
Fires in Church.—^Hlree separate
blazes, one believed to have been of
undoubted incendiary origin, were dis
covered in the basement of the
Church of the Immaculate Concep
tion, Portsmouth, N. H„ April 26. The
Rev. I). Alexander Sullivan, pastor of
the church, discovered the first blaze
on the floor of the basement as he
was returning from a late call in the
morning. This was quickly extin
guished. but later another fire was
discovered in a partition close to a
gas meter from which the gas was
flowing in a blaze.
Coerces Dance Evil.—The Western
Watchman reports: When the need of
municipal action to check the evils
that grew out of the dance hall be
came apparent, the Catholic Laymen's
Association of St. Louis appointed
Rev. J. P. Dooley, of the Sacred Heart
Church, its representative in forward
ing work that might secure efficient
legislation. Father Dooley was pres
ent at the meeting where the dancing
teachers of the city and representa
tives of civic organizations debated
the proposed ordinance, and there
represented the Catholic opinion in
the matter. Later, in his person, the
Catholic Laymen's Association appear
ed before the City Council and urged
the passage of the ordinance that had
been drafted and proposed. This or
dinance was unanimously passed and
the association has good cause to feel
satisfaction in a piece of legislation
that promotes decency in a recreation
that uncontrolled has been the cause
of ruin to many.
Associated Charities Film.—The
seven-reel film showing the institu
tions toward whose maintenance the
Associated Catholic Charities of Chi
cago have contributed approximately
sixty per cent of the funds collected
during the past thr*e years, has been
shown during the week at many local
parishes. This film presents to the
Catholic people of Chicago an excel
lent opportunity to see the great work
that is being done for the poor of
the diocese. Approximately three thou
sand five hundred children are being
cared for in St. Mary's Training
School, Guardian Angel Orphanage, St.
Hedwig's and St. Joseph's Bohemian
Orphanage at Lisle. The film also
shows the House of Good Shepherd,
the Illinois Technical School for Col
ored Girls, the Mission of the Holy
Cross for Dependent Men. St. Joseph's
Catholic Home for the Friendless, the
Ephpheta School for the Deaf, St. Mar
garet's Maternity Hospital, and others.
New Missionary Seminary.—The
Benedictines, who have extensive for
eign missions in East Africa, Japan,
and South America, contemplate
founding in the United States a For
eign Mission Seminary for their Or
der, but they have not as yet de
cided where to establish their founda
t.ion. Rev. F. Eustace, O. S. B„ who
has charge of this mission, is making
his headquarters at Conception, Mo.
Together with his companion, Rev.
Michael, O. S. B., he is at present col
lecting for the reconstruction of their
many missions and vast leper colo
nies, perhaps the largest in the world,
which they conduct in East Africa and
which were destroyed during the war.
The Rev. Fathers carry with them a
large selection of delicately colored
lantern slides that vividly portray the
great good that they are doing in the
foreign mission field.

ish in the city to foster the work.
Cash prizes, which will go towards a
fund for a summer camp for Catholic
boy scouts, have been hung up for the
different events in the field day.
OLD WORLD NEWS
Rome Praises America.-—^The Amer
ican government's authorization for
the return of the German missionaries
of the Society of the Divine Word to
the Philippines is highly praised in
Rome. The Holy See expresses the
wish that the other nations, particu
larly England, will follow this exam
ple of the United States.
Golden Books.—Golden books con
taining names of a hundred thousand
Italian families, who have been con
secrated to the Sacred Heart of Je
sus, were presented at the altar of
the Gesu Church, Rome, on a recent
Sunday during the ceremonies In hon
or of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque.
The Holy Father sent a message of
commendation and benediction.
Present from the Vatican.—In the
Vatican, the photographic reproduc
tion is being made of the maps which
adorn the third lodge of the Cortile di
San Damaso. They belong to the end
of the 16th century, and have not been
published up to now, but they are of
much importance to the geographical
knowledge of that epoch. They will
be officially presented by ah envoy of
the Vatican to the Geographical Con
gress of Florence, which will be held
nex^ June.
Shrine to be Protected.—Provision
for the protection of the Holy Sepul
chre against fire has been made by
Sir Herbert Samuel, high commission
for Palestine, says the Palestine
Weekly. Sir Herbert recently visited
this shrine of Christendom and no
ticed that no arrangements had been
made to cope with a possible outbreak
of fire. He at once ordered three por
table Are pumps to be sent from Eng
land, and has presented them as a
personal gift to the Latin Orthodox
and Armenian representatives at the
Holy Sepulchre
Children's Fund Congress.—The
Congress of the Save the Children
Fund was opened in Geneva under the
chairmanship of Mgr. Luigi Maglione,
Papal Nuncio to Switzerland. A vast
sum has been subscribed throughout
the world, said the Papal Nuncio, and
was being distributed by organizations
from all the religious bodies. In re
porting on the work of the Fund the
Nuncio paid a tribute to the gener
osity of the British people in all parts
of the empire, and also to the Brit
ish government for its promise to aug
ment the fund, up to a certain amount,
for one pound for every pound sub
scribed by the. people.
Virtuous By L&w?—"Catholic wom
en should beware of compelling peo
ple to be virtuous by act of parlia
ment said Agnes Mott, a prominent
Catholic social worker in England,
quoted in the Liverpool Catholic
Times. "It cannot be done, and leads
to greater evils than it sets out to
cure. Josephine Butler, that great
pioneer in social reform, said that you
'could not oblige human beings to be
moral by force, for freedom was the
gift of God. Christ's method was to
deal with the individual, not the mass,
and the evil needed to be attacked in
the hearts of men and in the social po
sition of women by raising them out
of abject dependence."
Question, of Orphani.—The question
of competition between public and con
fessional schools was brought up in
the French Chamber in connection
with the education of the orphans un
der the jurisdiction of the "Assistance
Publique," a state institution. The or
phans are generally boarded out in
the homes of farmers, who receive a
small amount each month from the
government. A Catholic deputy asked
whether these orphans could be sent
to the parochial schools, or whether
they were forced to attend public
schools. The minister decided that
they could be sent to the parochial
schools, provided the children of the
family in which they were living at
tended the parochial schools.
Masonic Rooms in Hungary.—After
the dissolution of the Masonic lodges
in Szombathely, Hungary, the quarters
of the "Ebredes" lodge were turned
over to the Public Welfare Associa
tion, which has won universal esteem
through its charitable activities. Bish
op Count Johann Mikes, called upon
to bless the rooms before they were
occupied by the association, made a
very remarkable speech. "I never
thought," he said, "that I should ever
speak within these walls where all our
thoughts and ideals were denied and
where, with effective weapons and un
der expert leadership, our enemies
fought against all the ideas fqr which
we stand. Perhaps they wanted to
help mankind, but they did not find
the right road to lead to the goal, and
they hung strange emblems here
where only the crucifix should have a
place. The place has now changed
hands and has come into the posses
sion of those who are serving the only
true ideal."
For Physical Education. The
French Chamber of Deputies has just
passed a law establishing compulsory
physical education for all children.
The state will assume responsibility
for all expenditures entailed by the ac
quisition and maintenance of certain
pieces of land and buildings to be used
for this purpose. By virtue of the
principle that the state is only to
support its own public schools, the
radical' deputies demanded that the
land acquired by the government
should be reserved for the pupils of
the public schools. "Otherwise," they
said, "we shall be encouraging indi
rectly private education, the rival of
the public schools," Their move was
defeated, and the Chamber decided
that pupils of parochial schools and
the gymnasts of Catholic societies
should have the same rights as the
pupils of the public schools on the
public play grounds.
Prayers for Irefam!.—Present condi
tions in Ireland are the subject of a
joint pastoral issued by the English
and Welsh hierarchies, and ordered
to be read in every church and chapel
in the two countries. The pastoral
says: "We have repeatedly, during the
past year, called upon our people to
unite in fervent prayer for the divine
guidance that a true, just and lasting

THE CATHOLIC BULLETIN, MAY'7 19?f
Cardinal's Last Letief.—One of the
last letters written by Cardinal Am
ette. Archbishop of Paris, before his
death, was to Cardinal Gibbons. It
was found on his desk. The letter is
as follows: "The great distress of the
French churches devastated by the
war is well known to your Eminence,
and has already been the object of
your generous charity. Despite the
large number of contributions re
ceived, especially from several dio
ceses in the United States, above all
from your diocese and the diocese of
New York, the majority of the four
thousand churches which were pil
laged, ruined or completely destroyed,
have not yet been rebuilt. The so
ciety founded in Paris for this pur
pose has not yet been able to provide
even a temporary shelter for divine
services in, many parishes. It is,
however, urgent to insure the com
forts of religion to the Catholic peo
ple who are returning to dwell in
these regions. It is all the more nec
essary because of the active Protes
tant propaganda which is being car
ried on among them by agents who
are receiving considerable help from
America.'"
Relic of Crusades.—A most Interest
ing discovery has just been made in
the Church of Saint Josse-sur-Mer, in
Artois, France. While transferring to
a new reliquary the relics of the pa
tron saint of the parish, it was no
ticed that the relics were enveloped
in a piece of oriental cloth which ap
peared to be very curious. The Direc
tor of the Trocadero Museum of Par
is was called to study the valuable
piece of cloth, and was able to ascer
tain that it was a costly cloth brought
to France from Palestine at the time
of the Crusades. It was pdfesible to
decipher the inscription "Glory and
happiness to the Cid Abou Mansour
Negtekin. May God prolong." The
rest of the inscription was torn, but
the information obtained was suffi
cient to determine the exact age of
the tapestry, since the Negtekin men
tioned was a general of Sultan Abd
Al-Malik, who caused him to be put
to death in the year 9G1. The cloth
was therefore made toward the mid
dle of the tentl^ century. It would
seem probable that the cloth was pre
sented to the ancient Abbey of Saint
Josse at the time of a first translation
of the relics in 1195, by the Count of
Boulogne, Etienne de Blois, whose un
cle Godefroy de Bouillon had brought
it back from the first Crusade.

needed more than ever at the present
moment, when events are daily oc
curring, which perplex and shock the
public conscience of both nations."
For this intention, public interces
sions are ordered throughout the
month of May. The. parish clergy are
urged to provide for the continuous
recitation of the rosary in the
churches during the day, while the
religious communities are asked to
maintain a continual succession of
prayers day and night.
Fate of Abbey Theater.—/There is
grave fear of the disappearance of a
theater which in the main has shown
a healthy and often a Catholic spirit.
Ever since its foundation nearly a
quarter of a century ago, the Abbey
Theater, Dublin, has been the chief
exponent of drama in its highest con
ception in Ireland. For the most part
the plays were purely Irish, and the
dramatists were nfainly Catholics.
Irish life in all its varieties and char
acteristics was portrayed with won
derful fidelity. The vulgarizing ten
dencies which have debased the mod
era English theater were rigorously
excluded. All the intellectual classes
in Dublin regularly patronized the
"Abbey." Owing to the effect of cur
few and other restrictive regulations
this famous Irish theater is threatened
with extinction. This theater hafc
come to be regarded as a national
treasure and already efforts are being
made by its admirers to tide it over
its difficulties. ,n
