Democratic aggregation Of this country

Nothing was deeper than he, neither

more of universal mediation and inter

HOW TO MAKE A SAINT

There are many saints on the calen-
dar of the Catholic church. Only such
are thus canonized as led a blameless
life, but yet one that was e-eminent
for good deeds. No American has ever
been so distinguished, but steps are be
ing taken for the qualification of the
late Bishop Newman. A commission
appointed by Pope Leo, consisting Of
six priests Of distinguished learning
and character, is now in session at Bal
timore. and Will presently adjourn to
Pittsburg, to complete its work, which
is the compiling of the apostolic pro-
cess in the cause of the Identification
and canonization of the venerable John
n. Newman, who died in Philadelphia
January 5, 1860. Testimony has been
taken at Philadelphia, the purpose be
ing to make Bishop Newman a saint.
After the commission has finished its
report Pope Leo and a high ecclesiast-
zeal BODY of counsellors will review it.
and if satisfied viii place the name Of
Newman in the calendar with the title
of Blessed" Two gears are allowed
the commission to make the investiga-
tion into the life, character and works
of Bishop Newman. AS he is the first
person from this country TO be propos-
ed for beatification. the outcome of the
trial is a matter Of interest. Bishop
John n. Newman was born at Prach-
atibz, Bohemia, March 2S, 1911. He
came to America in the spring of 1886,
and was ordained priest by Bishop Du-
bois of New York on June %, 1886. He
received the habit Of Redeemers No
venlber 80, 1870. and made his profess
sion rs a Redemptorist on January Is.
1912. He was the first Redemptorist of
America. He was superior at Pitts

rector of st. Alphonsius, Baltimore,
In 1851. He was rector in Baltimore
when first appointed to the Philadel-
phia episcopacy, in 1852. He was also
consecrated bishop in St Alphonsius'
church. He died in Philadelphia on
January ., 1869 His remains rest in St

LIGHTING The DEAD.


Few probably recall their early read
lngs of the catacombs of Rome without
a creepy feeling. Those subterranean
passages must present only a CHASTITY
array to those who follow the guides
and dim burning candles. These recep-
tacles for the dead of centuries are TO
be lighted with electricity. An Ameri-
can firm at Pittsburg, Pa, has been
awarded the gruesome contract. The
firm is TO put III six plants, one for each
of the principal catacombs. Each dy-
namo Will be separate and distinct
from the others, and, in short, what is
known as an isolated lighting and pow
er plant Will be installed in the cata-
combs of ST. Callistus, St. Agnes, St
Cyriaca. ST. Domitina, ST. Priscilla and
St. Portianus. Each dynamo viii sup

vehicles are being built which can be

The Newfoundland people use them to
draw wood on sleighs in the winter, but
as the coal mines there now furnish
most of the fuel burned, dogs are in
little demand. So they look upon this
lot going to the KlOndike as good
radiance; all the more so as they are
a mongrel lot, the pure breed of New
foundland dogs being almost extinct.
In that country the dogs live entirely
on dried Goldfish, upon which they seem
to thrive and multiply. There are more
