iates Received by Pope

After the audience Archbishop
Glennon expressed his pleasure NJ

his archdiocese and of the welfare of
an italian colony i'm Missouri, the
Archbishop told Pope Plus that he
had been commissioned by the Unit
ed States Government to take a
census of the Catholic population of
the United States. He gave an eX-
tended account of this work and
said the figures showed a total of
100000 Catholics after deducting
Is per cent. for children, who were
not to be included. Archbishop

and those that had been overlooked,
he was satisfied that the real Cath
Ollie population was nearer to
$4,000, 900.

FOND FAREWELL.
Chicago People Pay Trib-
ute to Rockford's New
Bishop.

The Right Rev. Peter ]. Muldoon,
Bishop of the newly created diocese
of Rockford, ILL.,, took charge of his
new field of labor on Tuesday. Sunday
night thousands of people crowded
the Auditorium Theater in Chicago to
bid the prelate farewell. Addresses
were made by prominent clergymen.
A purse amountingA to more than
100000 was also presented to Bishop
Muldoon.
Peter J. Muldoon was - born III
Columbia, CAL, October 10, 1868, and
received his early Education in the
public schools of the Golden State.
He studied theology at st. Mary's
College of the Resurrectionists at st.
Mary's, KY, and later at st. Mary's
Seminary in Baltimore He was or
dained a priest at the age of twenty
three and was assigned as assistant
priest to St. Plus church, Chicago
AT : twenty2five be sgae honored by
Archbishop Feehan with the remark
able distinction of the Chancellorship
of the archdiocese. He gained a ma
tional reputation as Secretary of the
Catholic exhibit at the Worlds Fair
After that he built up one of the
finest churches in the city, and a
parochial school, including a high
school for boys and academy for girls,
as pastor of st. Charles Borroemo's
church. On July rs, 1901, he was
consecrated Bishop as auxiliary to
the late Archbishop Feehan, with the
title of Vicar General. From then
until the installation of Archbishop
Quigley the illness of Auxiliary
Bishop A. ]. McGavick and the i'll
ness which ended in the death of
Archbishop Feehan threw upon the
young man almost the entire burden
of administering the archdiocese.
Bishop Muldoon, while never advo-
eating prohibition, has long been the
foe of intemperance and has done
much to combat that evil since be-
coming Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago.
His old friends and admirers believe
that his reign as first Bishop of
Rockford will be illustrious.

ONLY DUST
Remains of Bishops Body
Buried Seven Hundred
Years.

While installing new heating
plant in the Cathedral at Basic,
Switzerland, workmen uncovered a
crypt that contained the remains OF
Bishop that had been buried for
even centuries. While there were no
distinct marks to show exactly who
the prelate was, the remains are
known to have been either those of
Bishops Lutold, of Arbury, who died
in 1918, or Heinrich, of Thun, who
died in 1888. The remains were re-
moved as tenderly as possibly, but
crumbled into dust at the slightest
Jar They were taken to the Basic
museum, where they were photo
graphed. not on account of the wasted
skeleton, but to secure pictures of the
episcopal robes and insignia worn in
the thirteenth century.
The body had been embalmed, but
the process only delayed and did not
arrest the process of decay. Several
of the fingers of the skeleton were
covered with skin that turned into
parchment, but they crumbled at a
touch. The highly ornate crosier or
shepherds staff had been made of
ash, linden and oak mortised to-
gether. Though rotten in the center,
it still retains its shape. The ancient
processes of preserving the bodies of
the dead seem to have far excelled
those of the Christian era, as is shown
in the present case, because the at
tempt to preserve the body from total
decay utterly failed.

IMMENSE TASK
Is Before BenediCtines in
Revision of Latin
Nuigate.

The Right Rev. F. A. Gasquet,
Abbot of the English Benedictines,
who has been commissioned by Pope
Plus x. to undertake a revision of the
Vulgate, has returned to Rome for
the winter and to assume the labors
he began last year.
Abbot Gasquet has given some idea
of the progress he has made in his
vast undertaking, or, to be more ex-
act, in the preparations for it.
Before such project can become
fact" he said, 1--WE have to gather
together the tools with which we
work. This winter we shall spe-
cially devote ourselves to a thorough
and systematic overhauling of the
Cathedral libraries of Spain and
Italy In the suppression of the
Italian religious houses by laws
which Immediately preceded and fol-
lowed the loss of temporal power in
1870, the monasteries lost all their
books, but the Cathedral chapters
managed to retain possession of their
treasures, and since their libraries
seldom are catalogued and they do
not themselves know the precious
relics of the past that are contained
in them 1t is impossible to say what
magnificent discoveries may not re-
ward an exhaustive search"
The Abbot genially remarked that
there is no work so engrossing, Sc
full of pleasant surprises, as bibliog-
raphy. Not long ago, in an English
library, he himself came across a
priceless tenth century psalter of the
value of which the owners were abb
solutely unaware and which now has
been acquired by the British Museum
for about $4,000.
Only lately Abbot Gasquet re-
ceived photograph which he
thought can be no other than that
page of the celebrated "Codes
Amiatinus from the Laurentian
Library in Florence which was one
of three copies made in the Jarrow
monastery in Northumberland, from
which the venerable Bede came. Two
other copies are known to have re.
NAMED in the north of England. but
were entirely lost.
