The chamber of commerce of Chicago
was ready to put up 100000 to en-
terrain an American Eucharistic Con-
gress: so would any city put up liber-
ally TO entertain an American Catho-
lie month
"A positive program of social re-
form could be outlined that would at
tract the Catholic of every stripe. The
Catholic Church in the United States
stands for great ideas; it is pre-emi-
nently against divorce and race sui
eide; it stands for conservatism and
respect for authority in our civic life:
it is in no sense political, but it is
pre- eminently sane and sound when
1t is question of conserving the IN
terest that will give perpetuity to our
government.
1T stands as a stone wall against
the oncoming tide of that kind of So
cialism that has no respect for vested
rights and property sanctions. The
American Catholic month would
throw such a searchlight of publicity
on the attitude of the Catholic Church
on all these public questions that at
tention to them would be compelled,
and conviction concerning them
would be commanded"

A CORDIAL WELCOME.

A we'll known American portrait
painter, armed with full length per-

and rolled under his arm, ventured to
call on Whistler one Sunday morning.
His modest knock brought the great
man to the door, says a writer in
Great Thoughts. Opening it little
way. he thrust out his head and de-
manded irritably:
What brings you here? What do
you want?"
The artist stammered out that he
was a student and had a study that
he would much like to show Whist
Ter
Whistler said, "M-m-m-just wait a
minute." and, rushing back into the
room, he turned every picture with
it's face to the wall and removed from
the easel the canvas on which he was
engaged Then. mOtioning the Amer
lean in. he sat down and said: Now
what do you want? You know I'm
fearfully busy today, but sit down

DO THEY PAY?

Even among Catholics there are
some persons who are inclined to be-
little, or at least are unable to ap-
cause of great public demonstrations
such as were witnessed in the streets
of Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Newark
and Boston during the past month.
The following paragraph from the
Boston Herald's editorial comment on
the great Columbus day parade in
that city will help to q realization Of
the effect produced upon those out
side the fold, and which of itself. the
more important effect upon those
within not considered at all, more
than compensates all the 1abors and
sacrifices involved in the organization
and carrying out of the manifestations
in question:
II he most thoughtless, spectator
must have been impressed with the
spectacle as an illustration of the uni
flying bond between differing races
which religion provides, and as a
proof of the resources for spiritual
and ethical service to the state as
well as to the Church which such a
we'll organized body of laymen Gre
ates. Militant in spirit and led
against a common foe, whether it be
intemperance, impurity profanity. So
clal injustice, civic misrule OF any of
the manifold forms of materialism and
neo-paganism which attack civiliza-
ton today, this federation of the laity
of a historic, venerable and puissant
Church must be reckoned with by all
enemies of society. Serving in this
sphere, it betokens the existence of a
conservative force in contemporary
New England and national life, which
will be highly valued by men of all
creeds or no creed who see the perils
of the time. and who wish for tangi-
BILE grounds on which to base hope for
perpetuity of idealism in state, fami-

THE POETS CORRESPONDENTS.

A French paper observes and gives
statistics showing that in spite of the
loss of his temporal power it is the
pope who receives the most letters.
Each day from $4,000 to $4,000 letters
and journals are delivered at the Vat
lean, and to cope with this enormous
correspondence his Holiness employs
thirty-five secretaries. The President
of the United States receives nearly
1000 letters ard 1000 papers per day
The emperor of Germany receives
1000 letters and from 5000 to 1000
journals or volumes; the king of
England, 1000 letters and from 1000
to 5000 journals or books. The cor
respondence of the car is much less
voluminous. $50 letters per day is the
average. The king of Spain and the
king of Italy receive approximately
500; the queen of Holland, $50. AS
to M. Fallieres, the French president
ne receives very few letters.
So the pope receives more commu-
nications than all the emperors and
kings and presidents together. They
took away his temporal power. but
they could not take away or diminish
the absorbing worlds interest that
centers in the high office and lofty
personality

Plan CATHOLIC WEEK.

Catholics throughout the country
are inaugurating a movement to es-
tablish an annual Catholic week, to be
held each year in different city. the
first meeting to be in the national
capital.
Plans for such meeting will be
presented at the coming convention
of the American Federation of Catho-
lie Societies in New Orleans. Under
these plans it is proposed to assemble
Catholics, men and women, from
every diocese and parish in the United
States. for the purpose of giving them
an opportunity to become better ac-
quainted with all methods of Chris
tian education and philanthropy, thus
establishing stronger bonds of Cath
Ole membership and broadening
every branch of church work. The
plan includes arrangements for all
racial organizations.
An important and far-reaching con-
sideration that will materially aid in
making the meeting feasible is the
fact that the delegates to the various
national conventions could meet at
the same time, and, therefore, at the
same expense attend not only their
own convention, but also the others.
Very Rev Alexander p DOYLE,
C. s. P, rector of the Apostolic Mis-
sion House, Washington, is enthusiasts
tic over the plans. He said recently:
I'm my judgment. the planning for
such an event for week is on entire
ly too narrow lines. A week will GER
tainly not be long enough to allow
each agency to have distinct voice.
Instead of a week. it ought to be a
fortnight. or, better, month Let
us work the idea out on the basis of
an American Catholic month.
Il can see all the big Catholic or
CARNATIONS of the country brought
together during some well-chosen
month when everybody can attend, in
Chicago or New York. Such Cath
Ole month will draw to the city Sc
lected easily 100000 visitors. If one
Eucharistic Congress could attract
100000 visitors to Montreal, certain
~ twenty-five Catholic conventions
could draw twice that number during
a month in any of our large cities.
"A crowd of this kind would be pre-
em.nently worthy of being catered to.

A GLORIOUS ABBEY.

The one thousandth anniversary of
| the foundation of the Abbey of Cluny,
in France, wherein began the earliest
reform of the Benedictines, has just
been celebrated.
In 80 William the Plus. Duke of
Aquitaine. founded the abbey and en-
dowed it with all his fortune. over
it he placed st. BernO. The abbot
insisted on the observation of strict
rule.
By the twelfth century CIuny was
at the head of an order holding 314
monasteries scattered over all Eu-
rope, and by the fifteenth century it
ruled over S25 other houses of prayer
A noble line of abbotts held sway
in the great monastery Their names
are still held in benediction. Their
virtues and their achievements are
yet remembered.
When the religious orders were sup
pressed in 1890 during the saturnalia
of the French revolution, the build
ings of Cluny covered space of
twenty five acres, but only forty
monks then occupied its stalls. They
were driven away. The monastery,
with it's noble church, was bought by
the town and used to furnish build
ing stone. Only one tower and part
of transept remain of all its struc-
ture. while a road tTaverses the site
of the nave.
The library of Cluny was one of
the glories of France. Many of it's
priceless manuscripts were destroyed
when the Huguenots sacked the in
stitution in 1862, and many rare vol
umes were burned by the mob in the
eighteenth century. The government
collected all it could lay its hands on
and these are now in the Bibliotheque
Rationale in Paris.
Cluny is no more. It's monks are
dead. It's stones are scattered. But
its memory is imperishable and will
be cherished by all members of the
great Benedict family until the end of
time.-Pittsburg Observer.

Provisional President Braga is a

leVees for twenty hours every day for
Spanish, Italian and Russian anar-
chlsts, to whom he deliberately ex-

soVere1gns. The Presidents inter

secret society agent, who holds the
president in contempt and therefore

That Braga and his fellow revolu-

dent by the returns of the election for
the CorteS held on the eve of the revo-
luton. In that lection the govern

both sides of the streets their full
