A Paulist Social Plan.

The Paulist Fathers of New York
have arranged a course of free lee
lures to the people. What is most
noteworthy about it is that the Sc
ries will be given under the direction
of the department of education of the
Borough of Manhattan. It began early
in this month and will go on without
interruption until the Christmas holt
days. when a second course will be
announced. Two lectures, usually IL.
Illustrated by views" and experiments,
are given weekly on subjects as wide
ly separated as the formation of coal,
the management of the mint, the art
of making stained glass, and the his
tory of Egypt. The lecturers are
nearly all specialists in their own
themes. and the idea. says the Provi-
dence Visitor, is to have the Paulist
Fathers cooperate with the city gov
eminent in its efforts to raise the
tone of the general population by look
ing after the people of their own dense
ly crowded district

St. Vincent de Paul Society.

If a census of the best Catholic opin-
ion were taken, there is little doubt
but that the Society of st. Vincent de
Paul would prove to be the favorite
one among all the religious organiza-
tons for the laity. Its work is so
Christlike, its spirit so broad, its po-
tency for the sanctification of it's MEM
bers is so marked, and its influence
in dissipating anti-Catholic prejudice is
so magical, that it easily outranks any
other lay association. Indeed, member
ship in this society may be looked up
on as mark of noble Christian man
hood. We are gratified to know, too,
that a similar society for women-it'is
to be called THE Daughters of the
The Queens Daughters"-has been
quietly but effectively doing its holy
work in St. Louis, Mo-, for some time
past. Its spirit and purposes would
have delighted the heart of good Mon
sieur Vincent, as the Parisians called
the saint; it is capably differed, and
that it is rapidly growing in numbers
may be inferred from the announce
ment that a general convention of the
members will probably be held in St.
Louis in 1904, during the Louisiana
Purchase Worlds Fair. There are
thousands of women in all parts of
the country who would gladly conse-
crate a portion of their time to the
work of the Queens Daughters" if
they knew more about it. Thank God
there is no lack of zeal among our
Catholic women for the spiritual and
corporal works OF mercy!-Ave Maria.

Priest,s PLAN For Workmen.

Murano, in North Italy, has given
the first example in the peninsula of
erecting homes for workingmen.
For each laborer a home and gar
den," was the motto of the parish
priest, Dan Cerutti. He proposed first
a savings bank for his people. The
idea gained favor, and there are now
257 associates, with a fund of 29,S76 lire
(about $4,000. Then he thought of
erecting houses, which would assure
comfort and moral safeguards. Nine
teen were opened towards the middle
of August. making twenty-siX in all.
The houses are of different styles and
surrounded by gardens with flower
plots. After a while the tenants be-
come owners. Don Cerutti has had the
houses insured and the lives of the
tenants in such a way that, if they
die before having paid the full value
of the home, the children come to pos
sess it absolutely, without further pay
ment Public attention has been awak-
ened by this undertaking. Signor Luz
zati. author of law now before parlia-
ment to provide similar houses on a
large scale, wrote f1attering letter
to the jealous pastor. So did Profess
sor Toniolo, the great Catholic leader.
The opening of the homes was made
a religious ceremony, presided over by
the Cardinal Patriarch of Venice. A
very large number of persons received
holy communion.

England and Her Schools.

England claims to be better pro-
vided with schools than America.
Ninety-five per cent of her children
are on the school register. About half
of the pupils attend church schools,
and the church schools are considered
able to turn out good citizens. In fact
the English statesmen believe that re-
ligion is one of the conserving powers
of society, and they are perfectly will
ing to recognize in the most practical
manner possible the good work ac-
complished in church schools. There
are about $4,000 children being trained
under Catholic auspices, and the bur
den does not rest with the parents
alone. After advancing their school
rates, they are entitled to a share of
the funds. This is not miraculous
generosity on dne part of the govern
ment. 1t is simple justice, and it
should not, therefore, be unworthy Of
the consideration of those who aim at
a just distribution of the public funds
in no matter what country.

Example of Christian Charity.

Many papers published a. press dis
patch recently which stated that
drunken soldier entered the church at
st. Mary's, Kan, and destroyed vest
ments and other articles in the sane
tuary, and that threats of lynching
were freely made. A correspondent
writes that, after landing the scoun-
drel in Jail, Father De Smedt visited
him a few hours later, withdrew the
complaint, gave him some good adj
vice, had him we'll fed. and arranged
to convey him to his company, which
had gone on. If this is not Christian
charity, where can it be found? The
culprit, however, was re-arrested by
the authorities and fined $500 and SEN
fenced to six months in Jail. There
were no lynching threats.

Roosevelt Certainly No Bigot.

President Roosevelt has showed pref
ty clearly what manner of anti-Cath-
Ollie bigot he is. The other day he
appointed General Smith, stanch
Catholic, on the Philippine commission.
He had previously appointed him and
Bishop O'Gorman on the Taft COM
mission. He has since appointed Bish-
op Spalding on the committee on ar
bitration for the settlement of the coal
strike. A few months ago he APP
pointed Archbishop Ryan a member
of the Indian commission. And no.
body in the Presidents party or out
of it questions Mr.. Roosevelt's wis
dom or motives. After all it pays in
this country to dare to do the right
Western Watchman.

Something Good For France.

William Wherefore Newton--who-
ever he may be-is sure that the reli-
gious faith of the French people is
neither dead, not preparing for the
hurried funeral which Zola had por-
trayed before the Dreyfus judgment
broke in pieces his dream of the mil
lenium beginning in Paris with the
dawning of the twentieth century" Mr..
Newton thinks that France is await
ing the advent of some great prophet
who will come to inspire and guide
the nation. He may be at present
some boy playing marbles with his
schoolfellows, but at the right time,
the right guide and leader-sent from
Goodwill appear. Religion cannot be
dead in France; it cannot die out as
Zola pictures it in his trilogy of
.Lourdes," Rome" and Paris" be-
cause religion is a natural instinct of
the human heart and is Unborn in each
new generation and in each new hui
man heart. There have always been
prophets since the world began, and
these seers and messengers to hui
manity from God will appear in the
future as they have appeared in the
past, telling of those good things which
are yet to come to the son of man..

Died in the Faith.

The late John Dillon, editor of the
New York World, was born and bred a
Catholic. Like many others, however,
his religion was not deep-seated enough
to stand the test of prosperity. He died
outside the church, processing no reli-
gious belief-Catholic Citizen.
This is a mistake. The late John A.
Dillon received the last sacraments
during his illness and was buried with
the rites of the church and buried in
Catholic cemetery. 1t is pretty hard
to make an infidel of an Irishman or
an Irishman's Southwestern Watch
man.

Rishop Vaughan Is Dead.

The Right Rev. William Vaughan,
Roman Catholic bishop of Plymouth,
England. and uncle of Cardinal
Vaughan, is dead.
Bishop Vaughan was one of the best
known of the Catholic clergy in Eu-
rope. While he never reached the
height which his illustrious nephew has
attained, the bishop, in his sixty-four
years of work as a priest, has won
for himself many honors, and could
count many of the highest officials Of
Europe among his friends. He was
born in London Feb. 4, 1914. He was
ordained a priest in 1888. He became
bishop of Plymouth in 1855.

The robbers of old, it is said, when
they beheld beautiful boy in the
streets of Jerusalem or in the hill
country of Judea, peered into his face
to see if they could catch any traces
of the divine Messiah, who. it was
promised, should appear to the world
in the fitness of the times. Let US
hope that William Wilberforce New
ton is himself a man of prophetic
foresight, for France certainly needs a
saviour May the Lord hasten his
coming-Catholic Transcript.
