The Sacred Heart ia and a millionaire.

A little trait in the character Of an
American millionaire who recently Wis
tied England came within our notice,
says the London Tablet. and seems to
be worth a record. From an inner
coat pocket this gentleman brought
forth some precious documents of ref
erence, when in the midst of them was
seen a little picture of the Sacred
Heart. 1t was cheap little telegraph,
which nestled in a bank book that
could buy up an English county; and
perhaps a look of surprise on the face
of a spectator, who happened to be a
Catholic, drew from the man of af-
fairs a sentence of explanation. You
may" he said, "be surprised to find Z
Protestant like myself bearing about
with me a Catholic emblem. It hap
pens that among the thousands in my
employ, one-a young Catholic girl in
a very humble position-came to me
some years ago, told me she was pray
ing for my conversion, and asked me
to carry this holy picture about me.
My dear, until 1 die. I promised her.
So it has been here ever since, and I
would rather lose most of the contents
of my pockets than lose that now
ragged memento of a simple girls dis
interested piety in my regard"

THE DoUAY BIBLE.
Why it is So Called-Catholic Ad-
herence to the Vulgate.

The Douay Bible is the name COM
monty given to the translation of the
Scriptures used by. English-speaking
Catholics. The name however, is in
some respects misleading. The Cath
ole college of Douay was founded in
1868 by Cardinal Allen, but owing to
political troubles its members were
forced to take refuge at Rheims. There
they began an English version of the
Bible, made from the Vulgate but

Hebrew and Greek texts. The divines

dinal Allen. were all Oxford men. The
New Testament was published at
Rheims in 1852 and the Old Testament
at Douay in 1609-10. Editions followed
one another in the succeeding years.
An eighth edition of the Rhenish New
Testament. text and notes, was pub
lished by Professionals in New York in
1884
DR.. Challoner. then coadjutor to the
vicar apostolic of London. revised the
Rheims and Douty text. and published
several editions of the whole Bible. A
Dublin clergyman later revised DR..
ChallOner's text. and there was an in
dependent revision of the Douay and
Rhemish texts made by the late Arch
LlSnOD hBITlCh.
DR.. Westcott. a celebrated Protestant
scholar. says: The scrupulous and
even servile adherence of the Rhemists
to the text of the Vulgate was not
without advantage. They frequently
reproduced with force the original or
der Of Greek, which is preserved in the
Latin, and even while many unpleas-
ant roughnesses occur. there can be
little doubt that this version gained
on the whole by the faithfulness with
which they endeavored to keep to the
original form of the sacred writings"
The Vulgate is the name given to the
Latin version Of the Bible used by the
Catholic church. In this version ali
the books found in the Hebrew Bible
were translated by jerome from the
Hebrew and Chaldee originals. except
the Psalter, which belongs to an old
Latin version revised by Jerome. There
are portions Of the Catholic Bible not
found in the Protestant versions of the
Scriptures. In the Lords Prayer as
said by Catholics the portion known
as the doxology For thine is the pow

text these words were not
found. They We're inserted by copyists |

franklin and the "Higher Critics. +"


Apropos of the bumptiousness of
certain higher critics." the editor of
the New Zealand Tablet recalls an in
cident in the life of our illustrious
countryman, Benjamin Franklin, which
may be new to some readers. During
and for short period after the War of
independence he represented the Unit
ed States at the French court. His
fame as. a scientist and philosopher had
preceded him, and he was made well
come at the reunions of the learned
world of Paris. Some of the higher
critics" of the day pin-pricked him
with ridicule for his defense of the
Bible, and he determined to find out
how many of the scoffers had any ac-
quaintance with it. One day he no.
Allied one of the learned bodies that
he had come across beautiful story
of ancient pastoral life, and that he
would like the society's opinion of it.
At the next gathering of critics Frank
lin read to the eXpectant scholars a
manuscript copy of the Book of Ruth.
They were enraptured with it and
clamored that it should be printed. 1T
is printed already" Franklin replied,
land is a part of the Bible On an
other occasion he copied and read to
an assembly of free thinking wits Il
curious and venerable ancient poem
This gathering of higher critics
greeted the relic of literary antiquity
with profuse admiration. VOlleyed SUI
perlatives were sandwiched between
eager inquiries as to its authorship and
the place and manner of its discovery.
And then the philosophic tormentor, in
formed his conceited dupes that the
ancient poem" was the third chapter
of the prophecy of Habacuc-the beau
tiful prayer of the seer for ignor-
ance. Ave Maria.

A CATHOLIC COUNTRY

That America is a Catholic country
may readily be seen. The discoverer of
the new world, Christopher Columbus,
was a Catholic; of the Same religion
was Isabella of. Spain, the queen and
the country which gave him the means
to undertake the voyage of discovery.
After Columbus came numerous Catho-
lies to explore the new world. What
they did may best be told with the aid
of a map of the United States.
Maine was settled by French Catho-
lies. Vermont was dicovered and part
of its territory traversed and peopled
in the year 1909 by, the French under
Champlain. Maryland, the home of
religious freedom, was settled by Cath
olics, and by the benefcence of its laws
it became the most prosperous of all
colonies. Alabama was expored by
De Soto in 1541. and was subsequently
settled by the French. Illinois was dis
covered and explored by Father Mar
quette and it became a permanent
French colony. The French were the
first and for long time the only set
tiers in Missouri.
Michigan was colonized by French
Catholics. Wisconsin was visited by
French Catholic missionaries and a
settlement made in 1859. The first set
tlement in Iowa was made in 1888 by a
Frenchman. The Jesuits were the
pioneers of civilization in Minnesota.
They first came in 1916. Kansas was
settled by the French. Nebraska was
first visited by Father Marquette in the
latter part of the seventeenth century
Oregon was first 'prospected" by a
Spanish navigator Likewise did Cath
olics make settlements in the south and
west, save in only one state-Utah.
Nearly a century before the gold
hunter had directed his steps. toward
California it's lofty hills and lovely val
leys were traversed by the Jesuit and
Franciscan-devoted pioneers of the
Catholic religiOn-who were on widely
different mission. One of them has
written his name in shining letters on
the first page of its history 1t is the
apostle of the state-Father Francis
j. Sierra.

Bishop spalding Again Mentioned.

Bishop Spalding has been mentioned
as possible successor of Archbishop
katzer Of Milwaukee. The list of names
sent i'm from Milwaukee does not in
cIude the name of Bishop Spalding. yet
he may nevertheless be selected for the
position. Bishop Spalding was prom
imently mentioned for the position as
archbishop Of Chicago, but the person
selected came from outside the arch
diocese. II may be that now he will be
advanced to the higher position at Mil
waukee. The archdiocese is strongly
German and the tendency in Rome is
not to allow the formation of any in
side national faction. Bishop Spalding
speaks German and certainly in other
matters he would not be one with
whom Milwaukee could find fault

An Old Letter He Wrote to the Cali
fernians Who Had Won.
fKausaS Citv StarO

A HIGHLY interesting letter written
4 thirty-four years ago by Mark
Twain has jusl been brought To
light in Elnira, n. Y, where Mr.
Clemens has a summer home. Now
that he is preparing for another trip
abroad, he is overhauling his literary
effects and finds letters and manu-
scripts in out of the way places, prop
ably forgotten for many years.
AS to the letter recently unearthed in
Elmira, it was written in October, 1863
two days before the meeting of the
California pioneers at Delmohlco s.
That was notable occasion, ana Marx
Twains letter, read by the chairman
evoked loud and long applause.
The first railroad across the continent
the Union Pacific-had been complet-
ed only a few weeks. Among the first
Californians to make the trip by rail
were nearly 200 members of the Pho
neers' association of San Francisco.
Ever since the discovery of gold and
the invasion of the state in 1S49 by
thousands of "Argonauts," the Forty
miners had celebrated the event.
Preparations were made for the big
dinner at Delmonico's in their honor
Among their invited guests were Presl-
dent Grant. general Sherman and Cen
eral Mcdowell and other heroes of the
big war, with leading statesmen of the
day. Grant and Sherman, detained by
business, sent letters in sympathy with
the movement.
