charistic Congress, were present to-day

The third Eucharistic Congress of the Unit

France affecting religion and liberty, decides
to put itself on record by the following resolu-
tions:
First-we tender our holy Father, Pope
Plus X, reverential recognition and pro-
found admiration of his apostolic stand in
favor of true human liberty and essential tu-
man rights as against the behests and threats
of an inhdel faction that has for the time
being possessed itself OF the government of a
once Catholic nation and q sister republic.
Second-We the children OF the church and
loyal ministers and dispensers of her min
istries, sympathiZe deeply with our much
tried brethren across the water whose glori-
Frances" and we assure her bishops, priests
and people that we are heart and soul with
them in their battle for right, truth and
civilization.
which not only the dictates OF the natural
law, but the instincts moreover of Catholic faith
itself put upon the action of a clique inspired
by the secret societies in exiting and persecut
ing the religious orders and communities Of
men and women, whose only crime was they
had made a sacrifice of their whole selves,
their belongings, their faculties and their very
lives to the interests OF charity. Of education
and of the commonwealth of their native
land May the Divine Helmsman, whom we

istic King rise up again and say. as he once
said to the storms and waves: Peace. Be

PERU'S FORTUNE
AT HIGH TIDE
Irving Dudley, the Ameri-
can Minister, on Way Home
to California, Tells of Land

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Conditions in
Peru, political and industrial, were
never more favorable than now, ac-
cording to Irving B. Dudley, the Amer
lean Minister to that country, who has
just returned to spend a few weeks at
his home in California Toward the
United States there is an especial feel
ing of good will, he says. Commerce
with this country, already one of Pc
rus largest interests, is steadily on the
increase.
There is no danger of an overturn-
ing of prosperity because of revolu-
lions or internal dissension," the Min
lister added. THE Peruvians have a
particular liking for the United States
and much admiration for the Presi-
dent.
DIR. Jose Pardo, who was inaugu-
rated President Of Peru last Saturday
was the president of the cabinet under
President Candamo, who died in May
Or. Pardo told me recently that he had
two great aims for his country-one
the increasing of railways and the
other means of communication; the
other the providing of better educa-
tional facilities in every town, and par
ticularly the providing of teachers who
had broad, liberal education, teachers
who had been educated here where
possible.
The United States stands second as
to commerce with Peru, and it is gain
Ing in amount of business transacted
all the time Large amounts of Ameri-
can capital are being invested there
and the business men of Peru welcome
it."

condition. fell into commissions.
Father Raffaele at first abandoned
himself TO despair In his prison cell, but
his religion came to his aid and in the
morning he was calmer. Some days
later he was released for want Of suffi-
Gent evidence" but he is changed past
recognition. An old man at twenty
eight, he feels himself under a ban and
his only desire is to go among strangers
who do not know his story.
Enrico Rocchigiani, the photographer,
had also, like Father Castelli, been
showing too much money. Until not
long ago he could scarcely make a liv-
ing, when suddenly-as it seemed-he
had plenty of means and talked Of
marrying. Being enterprising, he
brought out postcard of the stolen
cope and gained considerably by it. One
fell into the hands of the police and a
bright officer at once exclaimed: But
how is that! The cope had only been
photographed once before it disappear
ed and this is not a reproduction of
that picture, so the cope must have
been photographed after 1t was stolen!"
DIES BY HIS OWN HAND.
That night there was joy in police
quarters, while Rocchigiani, unsuspect-
ing, planned his future with his f1aneee.
The next evening also found him en-
gagged in the same pleasant occupation,
which was so engroSsing that they did
not hear a ring at the front door bell.
The cOurtship was suddenly interrupt
ed by a gruff voice saying, II arrest
you in the name of the law" Enrico
jumped as though shot, and the police,
thinking he was trying to escape,
seized him, whereupon a struggle en-
sued, while his fancee tainted.
Signorina Bianci Mascagni, to whom
Rocchigiani was engsg ed, was a poor
spirited creature. Don't arrest me,
don't arrest me-" she whimpered. II
know nothing" was her continual cry,
until. hard pressed. she confessed that
her lover had given her $4,000, which
was in the bank, a fact that the police
had never suspected.
The triumphant authorities ran to the
Jail, and bursting into Rocchigiani's
cell, cried, I'VE have you now. How
about the $4,000 you handed over to
Signorina Masca gni?" With a gesture
Of despair Rocchigiani hid his face In
his hands, refusing to answer any
questions.
The next morning when the guard
opened the door Of the photographer
cell, he stumbled against a heavy OBJ
ject, which swung out as he touched
ii. The stark form Of Rocchigiani,
clad only in his night clothes, hung
from a hook over the door, with his
sheet as a rope. In his convulsively
closed fingers was a slip Of paper, on
which he had laboriously written with
a burnt match: 81 am innocent Search
for the guilty and when you find them

high. I die because a woman has be-

ROME. Sept. 29.-Not long ago Eng
land and the United States were much
interested in the marvelously beautiful
antique cope which was TO be seen in
PierpOnt Morgans art collection, eX-
hibited at the South Kensington MI
scum in London. No sooner was the
precious relic exhibited in London than
1t was recognized as the one stolen two
years ago from the Cathedral OF As
coli Italy. The cope is priceless. II
originally belonged to Pope Nicholas
III and was presented by Nicholas "
10 the cathedral.
The Italian police were at once reused
by the news from England and, follow
ing title clews. fastened their suspi-
oious on TWO persons. Father Rafaele
Castelli. who, at the time of the steal
ing. belonged TO the Cathedral of AS
coli. and EnricO ROcchigiani, a photog-
rapher Of Nclterra. The priest was &C.
cused BECAUSE he seemed to have been
acquiring property which the police
thought he should be too poor to- pay
lOr.
The CastelH family is exceptionally
united and consists Of a married sister,
Don Raffaele and a younger brother.
One evening, recently, they were all

air, when suddenly the tramp, tramp
OF an armed squad was heard in the
road Don Raffaele turned to his sister
laCghingly and said, If one had some
thing on his conscience how that sound
would make his heart beat" He had
no sooner finished speaking than eight
carbineers, with an officer, came out Of
the gloom and stopped at the gate.
They came silently up TO the group and
surrounded the young priest.

The scene that followed was uncom-

thing TO do and the dungeon door closed
