The Archiepiscopal Cross.

To the Editor OF The Star:
The cross to which Charles P. Keefer
refers as being worn by Indians of this
country is the so-called "Archiepiscopal
cross" No accurate information as to
its earliest use in the United States Is
possible.
The crosses are small. not more than
three inches long. and probably imported
from Italy G-uccaD. They are to be
found in Wisconsin. Minnesota, ETC., as
far as the Rocky mountains. In New
Mexico the Indians and Spaniards used
to wear such crosses (made Of German
silver) on their necklaces.
The large cross erected by Bishop Co
naty near Riverside, Cal. in 1909, is an
ordinary Latin cross.
