ICE NJ Terry SUNDAY
OBSERVED BY CATHOLICS or THE
TWIN CITIES DESPITE IN
CLEMENT WEATHER.
Archbishop Ireland Officiates at Cal
vary Cemetery and Bishop Lawler
at St. Mary's.

For some years past it has been Gus
tomary throughout the Diocese of st.
Paul to observe the third Sunday of
September as Cemetery Sunday On
this day the pastors and their people
visit the local cemeteries and hold
special services in commemoration of
the dead. These services consist of
the recitation of certain prayers, the
blessing of the graves, and an instruc-
ton on the Church's teaching in re-
gard to the efficacy of prayers and
good works offered up for the repose
of the souls of the faithful departed
This year, owing to the unfavorable
weather conditions which prevailed
on Sunday afternoon, the occasion was
not observed as generally as it other
wise would have been. Notwithstand-
ing the showers that fell at intervals
during the afternoon the Catholics of
the Twin Cities turned out in large
numbers to visit the cemeteries and
pray for the dead.
At Calvary cemetery, ST. Paul, there
was very large attendance. The
prayers for the dead were chanted by
choir of seminarians, and the graves
were blessed by the Most Reverend
Archbishop who also preached the
sermon. He was attended by several
priests from st. Paul. Owing to the
rain the usual procession about the
graveyard was abandoned.
In st. Mary's cemetery, Minneapolis,
the Right Reverend Bishop Lawler
presided at the exercises and preach
ed the sermon He was attended by a
number of priests from the different
parishes of the city; and large con-
course of people was present to par
ticipate in the exercises and offer up
prayers for. the dead.

CATHOLIC PROTECTIVE W0
CATHOLIC WoMANs LEAGUE OF
CHICAGO FOR THE SAFE
GUARDING or YOUNG
GIRLS.
Has Opened Protectorate Office and
Will Meet Young Girls Arriving
Alone in Chicago and Find
Lodging and Employment
For Them.

The Catholic Woman's League OF
Chicago has taken up a new work,
that of safeguarding young girls com.
ing to Chicago in search of employ
ment. 1t is the wish of those who
are active in the work of this organi-
zation that every girl who plans trip
to Chicago in search of work should
realize the dangers that await her and
notify some member of the league in
order that she may be met on her ar
rival and conducted to safe lodgings
and given honorable employment.
A special feature of this protective
work is an employment agency des-
tined particularly to make sure that
those who take positions will be prop
erly placed and provided with suitable
board and lodging in respectable fam
lilies through whom they may meet
worthy companions who in turn will
prove social aids in making the stran-
gers happy. The Protectorate Office is
situated at West Madison Street in
the Chicago Savings Bank and Trust
Building.
The Catholic Woman's League has
sounded note of warning against de-
coy advertisements in newspapers as
well as against employment agencies
which make it business of sending
domestic help to questionable dis
tricts. In all the principal depots they
have large cards announcing their ad-
dress, describing their work, and invit-
ing women, especially strangers, to
call on them.
Some of the most prominent Cath
Olic women of Chicago are directors
of the Protectorate. It's chairman is
DR.. Mary O'Brien Porter; vice chair
man, Mrs. P. J. Mccarthy; recording
secretary, Mrs. H. c.. Gross; cor
responding secretary, Mrs. E. w. Rem
olds; treasurer, Mrs. E. M. Cornell; !;
clerk of publicity, Miss Laura Wright.
In view of the report issued by the
Vice Commission of the City of Chi
cago too much cannot be said in favor
of an organization such as the Catho-
lie Woman's League

OF NOTED
CATHOLIC EDUCATOR
DOCTOR THOMAS DWIGHT, DEAN
OF THE MEDICAL DEPART
MENT OF HARVARD
UNIVERSITY.
One of the Foremost Anatomists in
America-Became Catholic
in 1855.

Doctor Thomas Dwight, one of the
foremost anatomists in America and
successor to DIR. Oliver Wendell
Holmes in the Pafkman Professorship
of Anatomy in Harvard University,
died at Nahant, Mass, on September
8. He was born in Boston in 1843 and
entered the Catholic Church with his
mother in 1855. He received his de-
gree of Doctor of Medicine from Har-
ward in 1867, and after several years
study in European universities, he
was appointed instructor of anatomy in
1872, and in 1883 succeeded DR.. Holmes
as Parkman Professor of Anatomy, a
position he held until his death. His
numerous books, papers and lectures
on medical subjects won him interna-
tional fame, but he found time to write
and labor in the interest of religion.
He was president of the Boston Cath
olic Union and of the Society of ST..
Vincent de Paul, and since the forma-
ton of the Guild of ST. Luke, an asso-
citation of Catholic physicians and sur
geons, DR.. Dwight was it's head A
few months ago his latest book,
Thoughts of a Catholic Anatomist, .
was issued from the press. He was, il
we mistake not, the first Catholic to
be appointed to a professorship in
Harvard University.
The Boston Transcript has this to
say about what it calls DIR. DWight's s
ardent and ever-militant Catho-
licism": Without taking this into ac-
count, no consideration of him would
be complete. 1t, as it were, explains
all the rest of him. Although not ac-
tually born within the Roman Catholic
communion, he may none the less truly
be said to have been a predestined
Catholic. His Catholic faith was a
direct, unmistakable expression Of his
whole inner nature, OF his irrepressi-
bic, innate bent for the recognition of
obedience to, and legitimate exercise
of authority. Deeply religious by ma
ture, he could have satisfied his own
peculiar religious constitution in no
other way. Practical manifestation of
his deep righteousness was evident in
many ways, but one may be pardoned
for mentioning the Society of st. Vim
cent de Paul, the Roman Catholic or
ganization for the care and relief Of
the poor, of which he was president
and in which he spent himself gener-
ously, with immense results to this
noble cause.

Cardinal Fischer's Protest.

The action of Cardinal Fischer in
successfully protecting the Roman
Church of which he is patron, and
from which he takes his title, by call
ing on the powerful German Govern
ment to uphold his right, is one which
may well create precedent that will
bring the realization of the Interna-
tional Catholic Defence Association
nearer. If, when the Italian Govern
ment attempt to claim the Church of
SIS. Nereus and Achilles for their own
purposes, they are refused the keys
and referred to a foreign Cardinal, and
If, while they stink away and take no
action, that same Cardinal places the
case in the hands of his Chancery and
receives assurances that his rights
will be adequately protected, then the
Church of Ara Coeli from whence
Archbishop Bourne take his title and
others could be saved in the same
manner. But we have also to reckon
with governments such as that Of
France, and Portugal, and alas, possi-
bly, Spain, which would probably re-
fuse to uphold the rights of Catholic
Archbishop or Cardinal over a Roman
Church, but would side with the Italian
atheists and Masons. Bravo! to Ger
many for her prompt action at Car
dinal Fischer's request.
