RELIC OF PEREGRINUs.
Authe nticated by Archbishop Cor
rigan, of New York.
History of Martyred saint and How His
Remains Came to Be Transport
ed from Bavaria to the
United States.

Last Good Friday there arrived in
New York the mortal remains of Pc
regrinus, saint and martyr. He was
confined in a pine box sealed and pad
locked. The custom house authorities
would have violated the sanctities of
these seals but for the interference of
Father Gerard Spielman, o. S. B., of
New York, to whom the relic had been
confded.
He explained to the inspector of Gus
toms that the canon rule required that
the seals of sacred relic should be
broken only in the presence of the
highest ecclesiastical authorities, whose
duty it was to pronounce upon it's gen.
uineness. The Inspector yielded with
out murmur, and the saint was duly
installed in the rectory of st. Anselm's
chnrch, at One Hundred and Fifty-third
street and linton avenue, awaiting the
time when Archbishop Corrigan should
have examined all the documents,
authenticated the relic and approved
of its being exposed to public venera-
ton in the church itself.
These details, says the New York
Herald, have now been complied with.
The relic has passed the severest scru-
tiny, it's history has been verified and
it's genuineness tablished beyond a
doubt. So the saint now occupies an
altar in the basement of the still I'M
finished church. When that edifce is
completed it will have shrine espe-
cially built for it.
The body is in an excellent state of
preservation. The face, although moth
ing of course but dried skin and bone,
presents an appearance that is not at
all ghastly or repulsive, and the glin-
mer of a smile, pleasant and gracious,
is perceptible. It wears gorgeous raj
ment of silk, decorated with jewels
which were made for it in 1871 and are
of the fashion of that period rather
than of the time when Peregrinus
actually f1ourished. In the right hand
is the palm emblenatic of martyrdom,
in the left tiny flask containing a few
drops of the saints blood, dried to a
mere dust, and on the head silver
diadem inlaid with jewels. The shoes
are of fur, and are not unlike Indian
mOccasins.
This is the first genuine entire body
of saint ever brought to thisscountry,

ALARMED by the progress of the free sill
yer idea in the United States the friends of
the gold standard in this country and in
Europe have revived the subject of an
International conference, in the hope of
diverting the people from the considera-
ton of the question. The people of the
United States have learned that an inter-
national monetary conference does not
mean anything to them unless it is
harm. There is hardly anything so IN
likely to happen as a meeting of this
kind, but if it should be called it would
be for the purpose of binding silver down
tighter, instead of lifting it up. The
friends of silver will go right along look
ing out for their own interests and let
the rest of the world hold as many con-
ferences as are desired.

HEAD OF ST. PEREGRINUs, THE MARTYR.
although, of course, there are already
plenty of relics here in the shape of
pieces of saints and certain of their be-
longings.
St. Peregrinus was martyred in Rome
by Emperor Commodus in A. D. 185.
He was only seventeen years old, but
he did not finch while his body was
stretched on the rack, torn with iron
hooks, beaten with clubs and burned
with torches applied to his sides.
He breathed his last uttering the
praises of his Saviour.
The Christians obtained his body
and buried it in the Catacombs. There
it remained until 1871, when it was re-
moved to the old Benedictine monastery
at Neustadt, Bavaria.
The fourth Sunday after Easter was
celebrated as the fete day of the saint
i'll Bavaria, and great crowds would
come and visit his shrine from all parts
of the country.
The Benedictines were driven from
Bavaria early in this century Their
monastery and fertile lands were con-
fscated. Later they were handed over
by the government to Count Won Lowen-
II
of the entire domain. He restored the
monastery and called back the Bene-
dictines. In 1854 a miracle occurred.
The church at Neustadt was burned and
everything persisted save the blessed
sacrament and the body of St. PEREZ
griRus. A new church was built. The
popularity of Peregrinus increased with
this evidence of the Almighty's pro-
lection.
Father Spielman, who is prominent
Benedictine, was in Neustadt last sum-
mer, and Count Won Lowenstein pre-
sented the body to him as representing
the new Church of St. Anselm at New
York, which is to be one of the hand
soonest edifces owned by the Benedic-
tine order.
The pastor at Neufeldt wept when he
was told of the proposed transfer, and
the bishop of Unerzburg at first CD
posed it. But in the end the count pre-
vailed. Bishop and pastor issued the
necessary documents of Authorization,
the relic was sealed up, and, amid the
lamentations of the people, Father
Spielman took it with him to Bremen
and thence set sail for America.
The body of ST. Peregrinus in its caslzet
is almost the exact length of the altar
where it is placed in st. Anselm's church.
A niche has been made for it beneath
the altar Sab in the middle of the front
surface, and in this it fits evenly-its
front in line with the altar front, and
its ends almost to the affairs ends.
The caslzet is of red wood on three
sides, but the entire front is of plate
glass. By this arrangement in its
present position the body lies beneath
the altar slab, plainly visible. Anyone
| who advances to the chaneel rail to
genufect can see the body with entire
distinctness, and it is more or less
visible from other nositions.

In spite of their crushing defeat of
last year the Democrats are making cal
culations on carrying the country in
1895 They are evidently going to have
a comparatively prosperous condition OF
the country to aid them. The business
of the country will be in 80 much better
condition than it has been for the past
two years that their speakers will go be-
fore the people and say: 'See what
Democratic tariff has done for you" and
the people may believe it. There is one
sure way for the Republicans to defeat
them, regardless OF this advantage, aud
that is to stand for free and unlimited
coinage of silver at Is to 1 and nominate
q candidate known to favor that idea
That the Democrats will do the same
thing Is now almost a certainty, but
under such circumstances it would not
avail Everything being equal, the peo-
pie will choose the Republican party
every time, because of belief that they
can more safely be trusted to do what
they promise.

before noon Sunday. He wife had been
teIegraphed to in Kansas City, where she
was visiting, and arrived at his bedside
about fifteen minutes before he passed
away.
At o'clock Sunday morning he was
sinking fast and asked to be taken away
from the city Jail, as he did not wish to
die there He was removed to his home
whore he suffered great deal until he
died.
Before he passed away he ia reported
to have made statement that the first
shot the policeman fred at him struck by
his feet and that the second one nit him
when he ran nearly a block before he
fell Constable Neubauer found him on
his hands and knees and he could not
talk at first He talked quite freely
while being conveyed to the Jail and
was able to do 80 until the time of his
death.
Byrne was a good painter and was
never in trouble with the police until
Saturday night. He is said to have been
drinking that evening. There is much
sympathy for his family. He was buried
at dit. Calvary cemetery yesterday after
noon and his funeral was quite large.
A cOroner's jury was summoned Sun
day and an inquest will be held this
afternoon. it will be watched with a
great deal of interest as there are diff
ferent stories at1oat about the shooting.
Some are trying to make out that Deputy
Constable NJ. Mcdonald did 1t. Officer
Clark admits that he fired two shots and
he feels very bad over the death of
Byrne. A large number of witnesses
have been summoned to testify.

MISS DoUGHERTY of Topeka will soon

wiids of Africa, however, but to a place
where 1t requires more Christian courage

the First ward in Kansas City. 1t would
be 10 more than fair now for Kansas
City to send some one to holy Topeka to
do some missionary work in "Smoky
ROw."-Meriden Tribune.
The suggestion is timely. It isn't
necessary for Topeka churches to send
missionaries to Kansas City to do slum
work. There is work for all that will
apply right in Topeka There is a
strongly prevalent foolish notion among
some church members that missionary
money is better spent somewhere else'
than at home.
