OMMISSlON DECIDES
AGAINST RAILROADS

WASHINGTON, July s.-"A carrier is
liable for damages resulting from dis
regard of shippers specific routing in
structions, even though it sends ship
ment via a route taking low rate to the
original billed destination
This principle was announced by the
Interstate commerce commission today
in a decision of the case of the Switzer
Lumber company of Shreveport, La,
against the Texas and New Orleans rail-
road and other carriers.
The commission declares in the opin-
ion that it is no part of carriers duty
to speculate upon the reasons which &C
tuated such instructions and to assume
that they, do not express the shippers
desire.

WORLDS GREATEST L|NGU|sT
Cardinal Mezzofanti Spoke Forty-five
Languages and Fifty Dialects.

Sixty-two years ago, there died in
Rome, that linguistic wonder worker
of modern times, Joseph Cardinal
Mezzofanti. The son of a poor car
penter, he was born in 1774, was or
dained priest at the age of twenty
four. BY this time he was already
master of ten languages, and was
appointed Professor of Arabic in the
University of his native city, Bologna.
From the little income he derived
from his professorship, Mezzofanti
supported two helpless parents. Among
his pupils was Byron, to whom, when
in Bologna in 1877, he gave some les
sons in modern Greek. The poet,
writing of his stay in that city says:
"I don't remember a man among
them whom ever wished to see twice
except Mezzofanti, who is monster
of languages, who ought to have ex
listed at the Tower of Babel, and acted
as universal interpreter. He is in

GA I H0lIC HOLLAND
of Utrecht Founded in
HE Seventh Century.

Holland entered upon the nine
teenth century under a regime of
bigotry and oppression, but developed
during its course into one of the
fairest gardens of the Catholic Church.
According to statistics drawn up by
g Protestant pastor, Holland in 1905
contained 673 parishes and 925 priests;
at present there are 1,O15 parishes and
2,310 priests. Between 1880 and 1900
the Catholics spent over 5000, 100000
ON their churches alone, and estab-
lished schools in which more than
10000 children receive Catholic
education.
I'm 1900 Catholic public Worship was
forbidden by law in Holland and the
Catholics numbered only 100000,
while today they are two millions, and
occupy the leading positions in public
life in the cabinet and parliament.
The hierarchy, which was restored
in 1850, consists of the Archbishop of
Utrecht with the suffragan Bishops of
Bois-le-Duc, Breda, Harlem and Rure-
monde, and it is obvious that il a
new Cardinal is to be chosen from this
country the choice will fall on Mgr.
Van de Wettering, Archbishop of
Utrecht, whose Diocese, founded by
st. Willibord in 500, now counts about
100000 Catholics among the best in
the world.

PURE FOOD REGULATIONS
Not Modern ldea-Ancient Records
Food Adulteration Punished in
the Middle Ages.

That pure-food inspection and regu-
lation is not an ideal of modern times,
i6 b6tay tay9exfsted several thousand years
ege, is clearly shown by many records.
Records of pure-food labels and bond
ed warehouses as far back as 2,700
years are available in bits of
pottery containing Hebrew writing of
$50 B. c., discovered by Professor G..
A. Reisner of Harvard University
during excavations made in Palestine.
These bits of pottery were tablet
labels for wine and oil jars, and on
them are writings giving the year in
which the wine was laid down in the
cellars of the palace storehouse, and
the names of the vineyards from
whence 1t came.
Records OF frauds practiced by the
bakers of Naples about 81 A. D., in
mixing a white earth with the -four,
are available in written documents,
which also show that, at about the
same time, even the rich Of Rome
were unable to obtain the unadulter-
ated wines Of Palermo.
France had statute forbidding the
adulteration of beer as early as 1892,
and sampling from the original pack
age was recognized in 1871, when a
decree of the Provost of Paris COM
pelled tavernkeepers to permit pur-
chaser Of wine to see it drawn from
the original cask. An ordinance OF
1880 forbids the mixing of wines and
the giving of false name or false
age. In 1444, penalties for adultera-
tions were such that records of second
offenses do not exist. In that year
an adnlterator of saffron was burned
alive, his adulterated saffron being
used as a fuel.
Adulteration of foods or drugs was
punishable, in many countries during
the Middle Ages, with mutilation and
capital punishment.
You will often hear the Middle Ages
abused and called the Dark Ages by
enemies Of the Church, but facts like
the above are continually coming to
light, showing that, as great scien
tist declared not long ago: @The
monks were deeper thinkers than we
are prone to admit"

LINCOLN CATHEDRAL DEDICATED
BY Bishop Tihen-Bishop Hennessey
Pontificated and Archbishop Keane
Preached-Many Prelates and
Priests In Attendance.

The new Cathedral of the Immaeu-
late Conception at Lincoln, Nebraska,
was solemnly dedicated on December
8. The dedication ceremony was per-
formed by the Right Reverend ]. HI.
Then, Bishop of the Diocese, and the
Solemn Pontifical Mass which followed
was celebrated by the Right Reverend
J. j. Hennessey, Bishop of Wichita.
The sermon was preached by the Most
Reverend James j. Keane, Archbishop
of Dubuque, whose discourse was a
mastery defence of the divinity of
Christ against the objections urged
by the rationalists of the present age.
He maintained that the history of the
Christian Church, the zeal Of her
Apostles, and the constancy of her
martyrs, was more difficult of accept
ance than the great mystery of the
Incarnation itself, on the supposition
that her Founder was not divine.
Mans yearning for communion with
the divine, voiced by inspired prophet
and pagan poet alike, was satisfied in
a manner far different from anything
that could have been anticipated.
Through the Incarnation fallen human
nature was redeemed and exalted, and
millions of lives of Christian virtue
and perfection are an argument for
the divinity of our Lord that is ire
fragable. He congratulated the peo-
pie of Lincoln on the completion of
their new Cathedral and expressed
the hope that the sacrifice it entailed
on their part would rebound to their
spiritual welfare and the honor OF
religion.
The ceremony was attended by
eight Bishops and many priests, all
of whom were entertained at a ban
quet at the Lincoln Hotel after the
services. In the evening Pontifical
Nespers were celebrated by BishoF
Then. who also preached a sermon
on the Immaculate Conception.

GNU OF THE OUR FATHER
Thir,, Seven Mosaic Tablets With
the Lords Prayer in Different
Languages-One in ojibway
Added by an American
Priest.

Last week the Rev. John T. Dur
ward, pastor of the Church of st.
Joseph, Baraboo, Wisconsin, called
at the office of The Catholic Bulletin
on his return from Grand Forks, N.
D., where he gave a series of lee
lures and readings in literature to the
young ladies Of st. Bernard's Acad-
emy. Father Durward has lately re-
turned from his second visit to Pales-
Information to enable him to put the
finishing touches on his work, Holy
Land and Holy Writ" which he has
had in preparation for some years.
This work will be an exhaustive
treatise on this subject from the
Catholic standpoint.
He showed us a photograph of spe-
cial interest to those who live In
the Land of the Ojibways," as Long
fellow puts it. "On the slope of
Mount Olivet, in Jerusalem" said
Father Durward, ''is the Church of the
Our Father kept by the Carmelite
Nuns. The whole adornment of the
sacred edifice consists of mosaic tab
let's on which is inscribed the Lords
prayer in many different languages.
When visited this church there were
thirty-six of these mosaics. / found
none containing the Lords prayer in
a language belonging to this cont
nent. That is not as it should be,
thought, and SO on my return to
America / arranged with the Sisters
to have the Our Father inscribed on
tablet in the language of the Ojibway
Indians. This has been done; and
now there are thirty-seven mosaics
containing this familiar prayer in as
many different languages. This photo
graph was sent me by one of the
Nuns who calls the Ojibway the an
cient American language The Amer
ican pilgrim to Palestine will now find
the Indian tongue among those that
adorn the walls OF the Church of the
Our Father in Jerusalem"
