The New York Frcemans Journal,
edited by Father Lambert, published
the full text OF the letter. Tle letter
Is signed by person who styles him
self sMarcellus Of the Old Stones. He
lis believed to be a noted Italian archie.

For is years or more there have
been doubts in archaeological circles
as toSWhether there Is a tomb where

for centuries have knelt in prayer be.

ing the Catholic church.
But no one has been bold enough to
put letter calling on the reignina
pontiff to excavate and SO settle the
doubts. Marcellus declared, briefly
thai there is no tomb, or il such &
thing exists, it will be found to have
been desecrated.. Y
"Tais." he says, MS the belief OF
the formost archeologists Of Europe.
There is still a doubt. however. and

and in the interest of science, 1t is
the duty of the Holy Father to order
an excavation"
Marcellus' letter has drawn no re-
Spouse from the Pope. but two Of the
most distinguished Psychologists In
the Catholic church. Professor Mar.
ucchl and the Jesuit Father Grisar,
declare Marcellns is wrong, that there
is tomb and that the body OF the
First OF the apostles is there.
Father Grisar and Professor Maruc'
chi, however, and Mgr. Barnes, an:
other eminent archeologtst, agree with
Marcellus that the tomb should be
opened in order that the doubters
should be convinced.

The fifth Tues rlotning recital
held here weekly by John Porter Law
renee and Anton Kaspar OF the Uni.
yersity Summer School. was held IN
the Normal Auditorium this morning
at the usual time. Each recital sees
numbers Of new faces in the audience,
but 1t Is noticeable fact that those
who we're present at the frat recita!
have been present every wees, which
fact alone is high compliment to the
musicians,
This morning a WagnerListz pro
gramme was given which was one Of
the most enjoyable Of the programmes
yet given. Mr.. Lawrence made a brief
talk relative to the life and character
OF the compositions Of both composers
before beginning the programme. Mr..
Lawrence played three selections from
'Lohengrin,, which Is probably the
best known Of the Wagner operas.
They we're, "Elsa's Dream" March
to the Church and "Entract." He al
SO gave t'The Spinning Song from
"The Flying Dutchman" and selec.
ton from Tristan and Isolde"
The programme was closed with the
rendition of LISTS Second Rhapsodie
by Mr.. Lawrence. Mr.. Kaspar, who
was detained from the last recital by
illness, was present this morning and
for the above reason gave several ex'
ira selections. The violin programme
was as follows:
"Canzonetta" by D'AmbFpsia, Ser
enade by Pierne. Romanza by Sven
dsen, and "scherzo" by sauret.
On next Monday night at eight
O'Clock in the Normal Auditorium the
last recital will be given. The change
in the time was made on request of
many who are unable to attend tho
morning recltals. This recital will
no doubt attract a big house for the
fame OF these celebrated musicians
has gone abroad throughout the city.
The opportunity to hear such a bril-.
liant pianist as Mr.. Lawrence or SO
Imminent yiolinist as Mr.. Kaspnr
does not often come in such easy
reach of every one.

affair closed for the night ii was
agreed TO continue the party every
evening during the present week.

cash as a result of their confidence
in his ability as a runner.
