RELIGIOUS EXHIBIT.
Proposition For a Building at the st.
Louis Exposition.

Louis Exposition.
The movement to secure a religious
building at the st. Louis Worlds fair
in 1903 is being vigorously prosecuted
by the representatives of the various
churches in st. Louis.
Addressing President Francis of the
Worlds fair a few days ago, in favor
of separate building for the religious
exhibits, one of the reverend gentlemen
on the special committee of the gen.
eral committee of church workers
which has the matter in hand, said:
Religion has done as much for the
advancement of civilization within the
Louisiana territory during the past 100
years as education has done. You have
arranged for the educational exhibit
by providing at least two large build
ings, the religious workers want one
building" The application of the COM
mittee is for a building to be not less
than 3S0x460 feet, of an estimated cost
of 100000. In this building they wish
to include all exhibits of a religious
nature It is also stated that there
was a general sentiment among church
workers against having religious ex-
hibits distributed among the depart
ment buildings Among the exhibits
suggested was a collection of the relics
of the Vatican, including the tiara of
the Pope The movement for a relig-
ious building is entirely apart from
that for congress of religions.
President Francis assured the MEM
bers of the committee that he was in
favor of their proposition, and that he
would present the matter to the board
of directors at its next meeting.

THE PHILIPPINE FRIARs.
Attempt to Rob Them Like Plumber
ing Monasteries bv Henry VIII.


ing Monasteries by Henry VIII.
In a recent sermon preached by Right
Rev. Bishop McQuaid of Rochester, y.
Y vigorous reply was made to va
ricus Episcopalian bishops who at
tackled the Church and her priests in
the missionary conference which they
held in that city.
Bishop McQuaid asserted that the
general morality of the friars will COM
pare favorably with that of any body
OF ministers in the United States.
He maintained that the Filipinos
were not educated, while they pos
sessed morality. when invaded by
American missionaries, that he feared
they would never possess again. He
predicted that within 200 years the Fill
plros like the American Indians,
would be civilized" off the face of the
earth
He cited Hawaii where there were
100000 natives when the missionaries
arrived, and today about 10000
The bishop said that dispossessing
the frfars was akin to the suppression
OF Catholic institutions and the confs-
catlng of property in the time of Hen
ry VIII.
He twitted nOn-Catholics on the fact
that the gospel is practically banished
from their pulpits to give place to SEN
satlonal politics. He referred to amic-
able relations existing between Catho-
hes and nom Catholics in Rochester be-
lore outsiders came here to stir ,Ip
strife, and closed with this utterance:
1t strikes me as very singular that
The American government should pro-
pose to deny religious instruction in
schools where there are from 1000, 900
to 100000 natives, most of them Cath
oIics, while they are paying 500
year to the sultan of the Sulu islands
to maintain his many wives and allow
MIN to have full liberty in teaching
the Koran in his schools. and while
they viii not allow religion in any
shape or form to be introduced into
schools the children in which are Cath
oiics. This is what do not hesitate to
uenounce as national hypocrisy and
hoe! upon American civilization.

PAPA1 INFALLIB1L1TY
a Church Dogma Least Understood
by non-Catholics.

Of all the dogmas of the Church
papal infallibility is the one least un-
derstood by non Catholics: and it must
be admitted that the explanations Civ
en- in some Of our doctrinal manuals
are more confusing than informing. Et
need not be said that the decisions of
the Pope as a ruler or supreme judicial
authority delivered on matters of fact
claim our reverence and obedience. The
Holy See is the highest tribunal in the
world, and was once recognized as such
by all Christendom. BtN. the question
is always coming up, When does the
Pope make an infallible judgmentp In
consequence of the obvious misunder-
standing as to the dogma Of papal in
faIlibility in a recent letter of Sir Hen
Iy Howorth's, the London Tablet thus
enumerates the criteria by which an
infallible judgment may be known:
From the very nature of the ques-
tion. three elements present them
selves; First, the Pope. secondly. the
making; thirdly. the judgment. Hence
three plain conditions-one on the part
of each. On the part of the Pope, ii is
required that he shall speak in his ca
pacity as supreme teacher of all Chris
iians. On the part of the making. 1t
is required that it shall be an act of
doctrinal definition. On the part of the
Judgment, it is required that it shall

Future of catholicity in America.

America, says Father Doyle,
Ought to be Catholic. BY every right,
by title of discovery, of first occupier,
o. claims of truth against error. is the
Catholic seal put on this land. The
Hcly Mass was for 100 years the only
Christian service celebrated on the
western hemisphere" Here the Church
has demonstrated her power and her
harmony with the existing conditions
by her unprecedented growth, to which
the free air of liberty has been pecu-
liarly favorable. The highest type of
manhood has been developed in this
country, and needs but the touch of
the Holy Spirit to supernaturalize it.
Professionalism has failed to satisfy the
religious cravings of the American peo-
pie, and there is void created which
only Catholicity can I'LL. There was
never more attractive field for mis-
sionaryl effort, says the writer, and he
quotes, as timely the words of the Apo
calypsei Thrust in thy sickle and
reap. for the harvest of the earth is
ripe"

JEWISH PHILANTHROPY.
Hebrew Whose Gifts Are Not Con
fined TO Any Particular Greed.

Advices from Waverly, Ia, the home
of Mr.. Abraham Simmer well known
philanthropist, are to the effect that
he has decided his handsome residence
and surrounding grounds OF ten acres
to the Sisters of Mercy of Dubuque, to
he used for the establishment and
maintenance of a hospital.
This is the second time that Abra-
ham SINNERS philanthropy has ben
etited Dubuque. A number of years
ago he gave $4,000 to Finley hospital
on condition that $4,000 more would he
raised by the citizens, the total amount
TO be used for the construction of a
new building and the maintenance
thereof. The condition was fulfilled
and the present splendid institution on
Delhi street stands as a monument to
the generosity of the Waverly philan-
thropist and the citizens of DUBUQUE.
Mr.. SINNERS philanthropy is the
more admirable because of the fact
that his gifts are not confined to any
particular creed or class A Hebrew
himself he has given thousands of dol
lars to found a home for the aged of
his race in Chicago, and a magnificent
building stands as a tribute to his
memory in Cedar Rapids, to which city
he gave $4,000 for the establishment
and maintenance of home for old peo-
pie

Pope Reads without Glasses.

In view of the recent persistent re-
vival of aiarmist rumors regarding the
state of the Pope's health. it is graft
flying to learn from the Rome corre-
spondent of the Tablet what exactly is
His Holiness condition. According to
the correspondent His Holiness is in
excellent health, and is greatly an
noyed by the statements of his weak
ness which have been circulated. His
Holiness as rule treats these alarms
very lightly. One day last year while
the newsboys were making small for
tunes by the sale of a journal which
described his exhausted condition and
the deplorable state of his memory, he
referred to the subject in presence of
TWO French prelates, and then recited
couple of pages of Dante from mem

Paul Revere.

Mr.. Paul Revere, who died recently
at Morristowr,o n. j., was a great
grandson of the revolutionary hero
whose famous ride inspired one of the
most popular of Longfellow's poems.
Mr. Revere, who was even more ad
mired for his sterling character than
for his gifts of mind, became a Cath
olic twenty-five years ago, and to the
end he fulfilled his duties ferYently and
ostentatiously. Even apart from his
great grandfather, Mr. Revere was of
distinguished lineage. His grandfather
was DIR. John Revere, an eminent ply
sician, and one of the founders of the
University of New York, and his father
was General Joseph Warren Revere of
the United States army. May he rest
in peace!-Ave Maria

ROMAN TELEGRAMs.
How Many Come From the Vatican
is Only a Guess.


London, Dec 23.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette publishes the following dispatch
from Rome today: THE vatican is be-
coming decidedly more hopeful that
the United States will yield TO the
pope's great desire and appoint d dip
lomatic representative to the vatican
So anxious is the pope for the success
of his project that he would De sdllSlleu
at present with d semi -offlcial repre-
sentative. in the hope that ne wouIa De
eventually turned into a minister OF
AMBASSADOR. 1t seems that Wash1ng-
ton is not unwilling to discuss the mat
ter, and the vatican has intimated, on
the other hand, its desire to meet
American wishes in Cuba and the PhH-
ippines, and possibly create another
cardinal in the United States. The
pope is somewhat opposed to the latter
step. while Cardinal Gibbons lives, but
he may compromise the matter by Gre
ating Archbishop Ireland or Archbishop
Corrigan cardinal of the curia, entail
ing living in Rome.
Rome, Dec. 25.-The pope today re-
ceived the cardinals, who offered him
their Christmas greetings. The pontlff
made a lengthy address, in which he
commended what he characterized as
the extensive liberty of thought in
dulged in at the present time. He
sharply criticised socialism, agitation
for divorce and hostility between dit
ferent sections of the Church, and
urged a union of the Christian
churches.
The Church. said the pope in the
course of his remarks. is now confront
ed by difficulties similar to those OF ear
lier times. There were attempts every
where TO make the masses enemies of
the Church, the religious orders were
subjected to all kinds of vexatious
prescriptions, and laws were being
passed in which open defiance of Gods
eternal laws were Haunted. The pom
tiff said the only means of successfully
combating socialism was for Catholics
to hearken to and obey the instructions
of the Church.
Rome, Dec. 21-Mgr. Scalabrini, who
has been practically selected by the
pope to succeed Mgr. Martinelli at
Washington, has begged the holy father
to be excused from such promotion on
the double ground of age and disincll-
nation for a diplomatic career, for
which he feels that he has no qualifi-
ca ton.
InOS6 VINO KNOW the DEHlldHl pieldlS
say that in this he is too modest. They
regard him as eminently fitted for di-
plomacy, and although he is 81 years
of age, he looks little more than 40. He
has, moreover, the mental and physical
vigor of a young man.
If he should insist on refusing to go
to Washington it would be difficult for
the pope to find another man in Eu-
rope SO adequately qualified for the po-
sition, more particularly in regard to
two points which are considered i'm
perative, a thorough knowledge of the
English language and a full acquaint-
ance and sympathy with modern
thought.
1t is suggested that the pope
will have to look to Canada for a sue
cessor to Mgr. Martinelli after all, as
Archbishop Falconio possesses all the /
qualifications needed for the position.
