Renncs. Sept. 9.-That Capt. Drey-

similar opinion.

The military precautions are of the

issued to repress the first symptoms
of trouble with an iron hand.

RESORT OF PILGRIMS
Auriesville, N. Y, Many Consider
an American Lourdes.
Especial Divine Favor Claimed for
the Scene of Father JoEues' Mar
tyrdom-HistOry of the Pic
turesque Spot.

Auriesville is an American Lourdes.
1t is situated in the upper central part
of New York state, and is one of the
most picturesque spots in America. Its
chief interest, however, lies in the fact
that it was here that Father Isaac
Jogues and Rene Goupil, two French
Jesuits, suffered '"dom at the
hands of the IroquoIs rs in 1646.
Pilgrimages are made til, almost
daily by devout Catholics and few
Protestants. The shrine, according to
the New York Herald, is said to hav-
cured many i'll persons through the in
tervention of the martyrs.
1t was troubous times in America
when the two brave missionaries died
for their religion. Historians speak ad-
miringly of the fortitude and courage
which impelled these men of civilized
France to undergo untold tortures at
the hands of the savages of America in
that far time. The Dutch had just sue
ceeded in establishing themselves firm
ly in New Amsterdam, now New York,
and had founded little colony about
Van Rensselaerwyck, now Albany. Nu-
mefOuS tfadlhS posts were also STAT
tered along the Hudson and the Mo-
hawk. The French had settled Canada,
and it was the intention of Father
Jogues to penetrate into the district of
the Hurons, who were friendly Indians,
and thence into the region of the Mo-
hawks and the Iroquois.
1t was while making the tour down
the ST Lawrence that Father JO0ues
and Rene Goupil were captured and car
ried by way of Lake Champlain and
Lake George-the latter of which Fa-
ther Jcgues named Lac Saint Sacra-
ment-to the headquarters of the Iro-

BOYHOOD OF DREYFUS.
One-Time Playmate of the Cnp-
tain Tells of His school Days
in His Native Town.

Louis Perrot, Pittsburgh florist, is
probably more interested in the prog
ress of the Dreyfus trial than any other
Pittsburgh citizen. His interest arises
from the fact that he was a playmate
of Dreyfus in the town of Mulhouse,
alsace, says the Philadelphia Times.
He, of course, hopes for the acquittal
of his former comrade in boyish sports.
OF Dreyfus he says:
"Iie was very popular. His father
was a dry goods merchant, rich and
prominent in the town. Dreyfus and

studies were all in French. After the

Joe Patchen Defeats star Pointer ana
John R. Gentry In a Grand Race

New York, Sept. 7.-Sixteen thou
sand spectators were at the Empire
City trotting track yesterday to see
the great race between the star pac-
ers, Star Pointer, Joe Patchen, John
r. Gentry and SearchIight. in the
betting ring there was a surging
crowd anxious to bet 100 to 20 on Star
Pointer against the field. SearchIight,
who is looked upon as the coming
champion, was brought TO the judges
and it was announced that he was not
in racing condition and would not be
a starter.
Around the back stretch the CON
fict was close and exciting and the
poblic almost lost sight of John X.
Gentry. as he was several lengths be-
hind. Around the top turn Star Poin-
ter appeared to gain, but it was an
optical delusion, and when the mighty
pair swung into the stretch il was APP
parent to everybody that they were

no mistake. As soon as the word was

broke so badly that he was distanced

able to compete with Patchen. The

uuois Indians at Ossernen, now Auries-
Vile.
Here for nearly year the two mis-
sionaries were tortured with every con-
ceivable cruelty known to savagery.
Rene Goupil finally suffered death by
| the tomahawk at the hands of the chief
of the tribe. Father Jogues buried the
| body in a ravine which is still shown,
and later made his escape to the Dutch
| trading post of Van Rensselaerwyck,
where ransom was paid the lroquois
| to appease their wrath at the loss of
their captive and to prevent them from
swooping down upon the village and
precipitating a wholesale massacre.
Father Jogues then returned to
| France, where he was received with
great honors by the queen regent.
| Longing to continue his mission in
America however, he returned and un-
| dertook to bring about peaceful nego-
tiations between the whites and the
savages, in which enterprise he was at
first very successful. After time, how
ever, several calamities befell the Iro-
quois, and, attributing their disasters
to the Intervention of the great white
| priest, upon Father Jogues' return to
the tribes headquarters he was again
made prisoner, maltreated and at last
treacherously put to death. His head
was set upon pinnacle and his body
thrown into the Mohawk. This was in
October, 1916.

changes have taken place throughout
the whole range of the country's geo.
graphical and political being, religious
venaration for the great missionary
martyrs remains fervent among the
thousands who annually visit the Au-
riesville shrine. While as yet there have
been no miracles performed which
would lead to the canonization of the
martyrs, especial Divine favor has been
claimed by the devout Catholics who
have climbed the hill of prayer and
moved from station to station, singing
and invoking Divine blessing. The
shrine is under the care of the Fathers
of the Apostleship of Prayer, the cultus
being under the name of Our Lady of
Martyrs.
The location of the shrine of Auries-
Vile is especially reposeful and con-
ducive to meditation. The number of
pilgrims increases every year. They
come in bodies from various parts of
the state, each Sunday pouring into the
broad valley new band, who form pro,
cessions on every side and listen to
mass said in the open under the blue
sky. 1t is the hope of many Catholics
that Father Jogues and Rene Goupil,
together with an Indian maiden, Cath
crime Tegakwitha, may be canonized.
