to shear eight or ten pounds of wool, instead Of

The Tomb of Possible American Saint.

Philadelphia Record.
The tomb of Bishop Neuman, in the basement
sanctuary of St Peters Church, Fifth street and
Girard avenue has become an object of especial
curiosity and veneration since it has been known
that the church in America would make an effort
to have the venerated prelate canonized as
saint. Bishop Neuman's tomb Is of the most I'M
ostentatous character, simple marble slab
marking his resting place. Upon the slab is re-
corded in Latin the dates Of the birth and death
of the Bishop, who first saw the light of day in
Bohemia, in 1911. and an enumeration of his
many virtues For many years his tomb has
been visited by devout Catholics of this city ard
from other parts of the American continent
One of the priests at ST. Peters said that there
was no tomb in this country to which more con-
slant and generating pilgrimage is made, and
that there is every reason to suppose that the re-
suit of the commissions labors will be the
canonization of the dead Bishop. The sur
ronndings of the tomb itself are of the most
simple character. The basement of St. Peters
Church is plainly furnished, presents dismal
appearance, and the sanctuary is almost austere
in its surroundings. On Sunday there is great
desire to see the tomb, but only at yespers are
the general public admitted The movement TO
have the Bishop canonized meets with unusual
approval among Catholics.
