to attempt to get possession again. Later the
debt was paid. During the revolution mass
was sometimes attended thereby the soldiers,
and on one occasion grand mass was celebrated
there with military pomp, the soldiers and
officers being in full uniform and the music
being furnished by the military band. In 1855
Father John Carroll was stationed there-three
years before he became bishop-and until 1906
that was the cathedral. In that wear Bishop
Carroll laid the corner stone of the present
building until interrupted by the war of
1914 1t was then suspended until the
close OF that war. Work was resumed in
1915 and the main part Of the building was
completed and ready for occupancy in 1921. It
is an odd, somber and imposing edifce, without
having anything especially beautiful about its
exterior. In style it is Grecian Ionic. The
ground plan looks as if it might have been de-
signed to represent a cross with a circle en-
closing the arms. 1t is built of dingy porphy-
rite granite, with white veins. like marble,
showing here and there as a blotch upon the
portico, supported by heavy Ionic columns.
The central part Of the building is surmounted
by large dome, at the top of which is a cross
At the forward corners are two towers or NINA
rets Of Turkish mosque. To increase
the massive appearance of the building
the broad sides are almost without windows, en-
tablatures OF stone merely marking the outline
where the openings would be looked for. The
only windows are small narrow slots in the
granite that attract little or no attention. The
outward length OF the structure, including por-
tico. is 100 feet; width. including arms of cross,
1T feet; height from floor to the summit of the
cross which surmounts the dome. 127 feet
From the intersection of the arms with the

In after years the history Of the church may

capital.
FOUNDING THE DIOCESE.
The centennial Of the diocese fell properly
on the 9th Of November, but Sunday is chosen
for its celebration The Episcopal see was
founded November 9, 1859. On that
day Father John Carroll WAS instituted bishop,
and then, at . moment when the revolution
preluded the tempest which was to engulf the
church Of France, . refuge was found in this
country for the exiles of the priesthood.
Bishop Carroll was consecrated at Lulworth
castle on Sunday, August Is, 1880, by Bishop
Walmsley. He then returned immediately to
America and devoted himself with great energy
to the organization and extension of the
Catholic church in the United States. There
were then but few priests in this country and
it was difficult to get enough to perform the
work that was demanded in the new diocese.
A year before Bishop Carroll was appointed
the Georgetown college had been founded,

largely through his efforts He at once in
terested himself in the advance nent of this in
stitution and in the establishment of Sulpi-
tian seminary in Maryland to supply the
church with missionaries to establish the
church throughout the country and give the
necessary instruction to the Catholics scattered
here and there. But he soon got from another
source all the learned priests whose services
were so much needed. The reign of terror in
France drove many of the French clergy of
high learning to this country. Bishop Carroll
then multiplied the missions and extended the
work of the church far beyond the boundary Of
Maryland into New England, Kentucky and the
territories of the far west
THE FIRST PRIEST ORDAINED.
The spread of the church was still further as
sisted by the arrival OF many learned priests
during the period from 1871 to 1898 In 1893
the first priest ordained in this country
Stephen Baden-entered the priesthood at Bal
timore. Before that in 1871. q synod was held
at Baltimore attended by twenty ecclesiastcs
and the pope was asked to divide the United
States into several dioceses and to appoint a
coadjutor to assist Bishop Carroll in his rapidly
multiplying duties. In 1900 Father Leonard
Neale was appointed coadjutor. Many Catho-
lies were driven into America from San Do
mingo. and the church was greatly augmented
by immigration from Europe and by CONVEX
re-establishment of the Order of Jesuits. to
which he himself had belonged, and he had the
satisfaction of seeing the Georgetown college
develop into great institution of learning
1t was in the year of his death that this insti-
tuition was chartered by Congress as a univer-
sity. Until 1870 there was no female order in
this country. In that year four Carmelite

The old cathedral in which the centennial
celebration will be held has a varied and inter-
esting history. 1t is older than the diocese of
which it is the central edifice if its ancestor.
Little st. Peters is to be included in speaking
OF the greater edifice. The ground on which
1t stands, half square in extent was practi-
cally donated for the purpose Of a church by
Charles Carroll of Carrollton in ITO and on Il
was erected modest brick building of .about
25 by 30 feet, which was known as St. Peters
church Before it was completed the contractor
in charge OF the work failed, owing 81, 200 The
church was seized for this debt and locked no
until about 1775. A suit was brought against
the pope at Rome for the debt, which was,
OF course, never successful. Services were
held in private houses during the time the
church was locked up. But finally the build
ing was taken by an armed force in an unex-
pected manner and turned over to the congre-
CATION. Some continental soldiers were in
Baltimore under the command Of Capt Gil
breith. Some of them were Catholics and they
got permission one Sunday to 60 to church.
They went to the little brick building and
found it locked. They learned the cause and
at once formed a company and marching to the
house of the creditor, who held the key, they
demanded that the church be opened at once
The man, it appears, was under suspicion of
being tory and when he saw the soldiers he
thought they intended to take him prisoner
He was relieved when he found they wanted
only the key to the church and he readily sur
rendered it.

A HUNDRED YEARS OF GROWTH
TO BE IMPREsSIvELY CELEBRATED.
A Great Gathering Of Prelates,
Priests and Laymen.
How the Establishment of the First
American See VIII be Commence
rated-The History Of the Arch
diocese From Bishop Carroll
to Cardinal Gibbons-The
Cathedral and Its
Memories.

The Catholic centennial celebration at Balti-
more tomorrow will bring together the largest
assemblage of clergy and dignitaries of the
Catholic church that has ever been held in this
country. More than that, in all the history OF
the church there has been but one assemblage
equal to it in the world. The full Importance
of this occasion is hardly appreciated by the
public. II can scarcely be too much magnlhed.
None Of the great councils of the church at
which have been discussed articles OF faith;
where momentous questions affecting the very
life Of the church almost, and having influence
over the whole of Chrstendom, have been con-
sidered solemnly and decided by the wisest men
Of the faith. have been greater in magnitude
than is this. which is an occasion OF rejolc-
ing only, having no problems to solve, no diff
ferences to adjust and no contentious to settle.
1t is a thing of no little importance to consider
that such an assemblage, rlvallng the greatest
in the Catholic countries of Europe. should be
held in America Just one hundred years after
the esta blishment of the diocese on this soil.
Catholics all over this country and in the seat
of the power of the church, at Rome, are alive
to the importance of the occasion and realize
the significance of its bearing upon the growth
and progress of the church IN a free country.
1t is known that the pope takes deep interest
In the celebration, as is shown by his sending
PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE
from Rome to take part in the ceremony. This
Is the most he has ever done for the most inn
portant councils Of the church. The o3ject of
the celebration is to review the past history of
the church in this country and to inspire
greater activity and progress in the future. In
connection with the centennial celebration,
which properly occurs on Sunday, is held the
Catholic congress, where will be read and dis
cussed numerous papers on important sub
jects, and finally the dedication of the new
Catholic university at Washington, which Is re-
garded as a most important event in the ad-
vancement of the church. They thus review
the past discuss the future needs of the church
in this country and lay the foundation for a
greater advancement in the higher learning.
They expect the new university to be the sign
of an epoch.

reaches it
II GREW FROM THE GRAVE.
An odd thing occurred in connection with
the tomb of Archbishop Spalding. Some time
after his vault was sealed a plant sprung out of
the brick masonry just at the top Of the little
cross that is cut into the top of the tablet There
was no crack nor crevice. but the plant grew
right out Of the mortar between the bricks
without breaking it. 1t shot out into branches
and spread over quite large space on the
front Of the tomb 1t appeared to be q lily.
but, growing without light, all the leaves were
perfectly white. great many persons came
to see 1t, and it grew on with increasing vigor
until bit Of the outer foundation wall near by
was torn down. As soon as the light struck
the plant it died. leaving only an etching Of
itself as an ivy will leave when torn from q
wall.

ing on parallel streets. The palace was built
later than the cathedral. It is a severely plain
stone building of a dingy gray. Stone steps
lead to the front door, at either side of which
is little white futed column, the only thing
like ornamentation. Within is large old
fashioned hall. on the walls of which hang
some large old paintings of merit The rooms
on either side are large and square with very
high ceilings. The entire place has gloomy,
quiet air. The hall goes directly through the
house into garden between the house and the
cathedral, where there are two or three trees
and a walk This house is the home Of the
cardinal, who is the head of the church in this
country

dedicated by Archbishop Marechal in 1921,
though not then coppleted. 1t was renovated
by Archbishop Spalding in 1855, and the pulpit
was removed from its original position by the
archepiscopal throne, and blocks of black
marble were put in the wall in commemoration
OF the dead archbishops. On its fifty-fifth arf-
niversary, in 1876, it was finally consecrated
and casket OF relics was placed in the main
altar.
Twelve OF the most important councils of the
church, including plenary councils, have been
heldin this cathedral and twenty seven bishops
have been consecrated at its altar.
THE INTERIoR OF THE CATHEDRAL
surpasses the exterior in grandeur. better
idea Of its size is got from within. The high
vaulted ceiling, supported by piers and heavy
arches springing from the floor, gives an idea
of great massiveness while the frescoing and
the oil paintings that hang from the walls give
a somber richness to the picture. Over the en-
trance there is a gallery directly facing the
altar, from which is got perhaps the finest
view of the interior architecture Of the ediice.
Looking between the great square piers
through a series of intersecting arches in the
distance shines the white marble altar. before
which burns perpetually the small red altar
light in golden lamp swung from the high
arch above. The altar stands in q curved
recess hooded with half dome and half
surrounded by semi-circle of Ionic
Columns. Benlnd the altar lS large cross to
which is nailed plastic form of our Savior. On
either side kneels an angel, in white marble
On the altar stand the candlesticks and i'm
mense wax candles. To the right, within the
sanctuary, is the cardinals throne, overhung
with heavy canopy, and to the left has been
erected to similar throne for Cardinal Tasche-
reau and another for Archbishop Satolli To
the right and to the left of the main altar are
two lesser affairs, the handsomest of which is
that of the Blessed Virgin. All three of the
affairs are behind an arcade, which, extending
around in the form of a circle, forms the base
of the grand central dome. all the arches unit
ing their mighty strength to support that
heavy structure. Looking upward into this
dome food of light comes from unseen win
dows, shining full upon painting of Moses in
the clouds, surrounded by cherubim, which
covers the upper circle of the dome.
BENEATH THE vAULTED CEILING
cluster the hundreds Of square, straight backed
pews, which appear diminutive by their sur
roundings. The ceiling and walls are fres-
coed, and in some places gliding is used but
there is not much that is gorgeous or snowy
in the edifice.

On reaching the church the cardinals. bishops

HOW THE FRENCH REVOLUTION HELPED.
The infdels in Paris spread the Catholic
religion over the western continent The
prosecutions Of the reign of terror drove
learned men of the priesthood to this country
and scattered able missionaries over the new
land The rapid progress of the Catholic
church IN Americ is to degree due to the
accession of these learned msn soon after the
establishment of the diocese of Baltimore.

Heretofore the Catholics in this country have
devoted their attention chiefly to the lover
masses of the people, and the promotion of the
highest education has been chiefly under the
auspices of Protestants. They expect the es-
Enlistment of this university to be the begin
thing like the prestige in the pursuit of the
higher learning in this country that they have
enjoyed in European countries. Every great
institution of learning in Europe, under what
ever control il may now be, was at first estab-
Eshed by the Catholics; while in this country
quite the reverse has been the case. They feel
that the time has come for the dawning of a
new era and that this is the occasion.
THE CENTENNIAL

Of the Catholic church in America during the

THE PROGRAM.
The centennial celebration proper will be on
Sunday at the cathedral, where pontificial mass
will be celebrated at IL o'clock. This will be
the grandest of many grand events that have
occurred in this old edifice. Clergy and bishops
and cardinals Of the church of Rome are now
assembled at Baltimore for the celebration.
Tomorrow there will be some three hundred
priests, about eighty-ive bishops and arch
bishops, coming from all parts of this country,
and two cardinals present to take part in the
