Announcement has been made
that the women of the Cathedral
parish of Toledo, Ohio, have decid-
ed to abandon the large hat and
substitute the graceful Spanish
mantilla while attending church
services hereafter. There is no
doubt that the prevailing styles
in millinery are great nuisance
in church. They obstruct the
view Of the altar and Of the serv-
ices for the mere man. No doubt,
the Easter season will bring out a
new crop Of grotesque creations Of
the milliner s art which will shut
out still more, if possible, the view
from the pews. Catholic women
who understand the significance OF
the Holy Sacrifice should discard
elaborate head dresses and thus
conduce to the comfort and piety
of those who go to church for the
purpose of assisting at Mass and
not to display their fnery. The
example of the women Of the To.
ledo Cathedral parish is worthy
Of imitation.

THE DIOCESE OF ST. PAUL.

The thirteenth volume Of the
Catholic Encyclopedia contains an
account of the erection and devel-
opment Of the Diocese of st. Paul
from the pen of the Very Rever-
end Francis Schaefer, D. D., Rec
tor Of the ST. Paul Seminary.
Though necessarily condensed, it
is full of interesting information
regarding the marvellous growth
Of the Church in Minnesota during
the three score years and ten that
have elapsed since the log chapel
was built in st. Paul. He prefaces
his account Of organized Church
activity by referring to the visits
of Catholic explorers and voy-
ageurs, as we'll as the efforts of
the Catholic missionaries who Wis
tied and explored the upper wa
tiers of the Mississippi river and
sowed the first seeds Of religion
among the aborigines. DR.. Schae-
fer is president Of the St. Paul

cities, men who spend their lives
amongst the poor, would do a
great deal. Parlor theorists and
declaimers in societies will not
solve the problems. It is a demo
cratic society with which the
Church has to deal here and the

there must be a more widespread
spirit Of conservation for the
benefit Of all and above all for the
protection Of the weak.

MAKING A SAINT OF FERRER

Some time ago Mr.. William
Archer, the self-constituted de-
fender Of the Spanish anarchist,
Francisco Ferrer, wrote to the
London Daily Chronicle that he
had learned from a Belgian pa
per that the Supreme Court of
Madrid had practically reversed
the judgment Of the Barcelona
Council Of War and declared the
innocence Of Ferrer and ordered
that his confscated property be
restored to his heirs. This would
be good news to the friends of the
Spanish anarchist and would serve
to show that his character had
been maligned by his enemies were
it not that it is devoid of any foun-
dalton in fact.
Had Mr.. Archer taken the
trouble to go to the official records
Of the Spanish Court he would
have found that the decision in
question had nothing at all to do
with the guilt or innocence of
Ferrer. In a recent issue of Amer
lea" Andrew J. Shipman calls
attention to the fact that the pro-
cedure to which Mr.. Archer refers
was a purely civil action in which
the heirs Of Ferrer filed petition
for the dissolution Of an attach
ment against his property for the
purpose of making compensation
for all the damage and obstruction
caused by his acts. For reasons
which he cites in the article refer
red to, the Supreme Council of
War and Marine the highest trib-
unal in the kingdom for jurisdic-
ton over matters arising out of
ceurt-martials-" dissolved the at
tachment against the property of
Francisco Ferrer and turned it
over to his executors and residuary
legatee. It reached this conclu-
sion almost wholly on technical
grounds and did not retry or re-
view the facts of the court-martial
under which Ferrer was exc
cuted. /"
It is evident, therefore, that the
judgment of the Barcelona court
martial which tried Ferrer was
not reversed. The question of his
participation in the riot and blood
shed for which he was condemned
was not re-opened. The action was
a purely civil one and did not eff
feet the outcome of his trial. The
attempts that have been made to
prove him innocent have been un-
successful. They are puerile eff
forts on the part of those who
would like to proclaim him a mar
tyr to the cause Of freedom and
liberal education.

TO COMBAT SOCIALISM.

In a recent address before the
Federation committee at Notre
Dame University, Bishop Muldoon
Of Rockford, said that parlor
theorists, unsympathetic reformers
and DISCLAIMERS in societies will
not stem the tide of Socialism that
is sweeping over the country.
Greater personal services amongst
the poor by the priesthood and the
laity was urged as one of the most
effective means of preventing the
spread of socialistic ideas. Less
time spent in drafting and passing
resolutions and condemning condi-
tons and more time given to
lettering them was recommended
to members of societies.
II think" said the Bishop,
"that all will admit there is much
constructive work before Catholic
churchmen and laymen here in the
United States. We are ready with
our condemnations of this and
that dangerous tendency of the
hour, but unless we go out into
the open and do something prac-
teal for the solution of our press
ing problems our COMBINATIONS
will react upon us. We want to
establish a department or depart
ments Of federation activity, that
will work all the year through.
The field is so large we must
specialize. In the Federation we
have the machinery. Our object
is to start the machinery agoing.
"To my mind one of the most
important things In resisting the
spread of socialistic ideas is the
personal service Of the priesthood
and laity amongst the poor. A
few men like Vincent de Paul and
Frederick Ozanam i'm our big

FAKE ORIENTAL PRIESTS

Warning has been sent out from
New York that a number Of men
claiming to be priests from Syria,
Egypt, Persia and other eastern
lands are circulating through the
country and begging from priests,
sisters and the laity. These men
are all takers. Either they are
not priests at all or are not in
good standing, or have no permits
sion from Rome or from their bish-
ops to solicit funds. The Rev
erend Gabriel Oussani, D. D., pro-
fessor of Scripture, at the Dun
woodie Seminary, New York, is
authority for the statement that
no Oriental priest has proper per-
mission at present to collect money
in this country, that, in fact, only
one has had the necessary permits
sion of Rome for twenty years.
Several eastern patriarchs with
whom DR.. Oussani is in communi-
cation have repeatedly written to
him complaining of the takers who
travel through the United States
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, and ostensibly for Oriental
Dioceses.
The only eastern priests who
have any right to collect money
in this country are those who have
parishes in American dioceses and
who have the permission of their
respective Bishops to solicit funds
for local purposes. The Propa-
ganda alone can give the necessary
permission for Oriental priests to
come to America to solicit aims
but this permission has been given
to no priest soliciting in this coun-
try at the present time.
1t is well, therefore, for Cath
olics, both priests and laity, to be
on their guard and not respond
to the appeals Of every individual
who claims to be a priest of some
Oriental rite with permission to
solicit aims in America. Those
who are not takers have proper
credentials and are always able to
establish their claims when asked
to do so. It is a good rule not to
give money to any solicitor who is
not able to produce a letter from
the Bishop Of the diocese in which
he is soliciting, authorizing him
to appeal to the generosity Of the
public in behalf Of some specific
purpose.

NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF
CATHOLIC CHARITIES.

The National Conference of
Catholic Charities was organized
at the Catholic University on Feb
ruary 10, 1910, and held it's first
convention at that institution the
following September The meet
ing brought together four hundred
delegates from twenty-four States
of the Union.
The purpose Of this organiza-
ton, as set forth by it's promoters,
is to bring about an exchange Of
views among experienced Catholic
men and women who are active in
the work Of charity to collect and
publish information concerning
organizations, problems and re-
suits in Catholic charity; to give
expression to a general policy to-
wards methods and tendencies in
them; and to encourage further
development Of literature in which
the religious and social ideals will
find dignified expression.
The Conference is not a relief
organization intended to supplant
existing societies; but is, as it
were, a clearing house for all Cath
Ollie societies engagedi in any phase
of charitable work. It's promoters
hope, by means of it, to effect a
union of forces in the domain of
Catholic charity in order that more
harmonious relations may be
brought about among those en-
gagged in this work to the end that
more practical results may be
achieved.
The Conference is now engaged
in compiling a complete and
authentic directory of the institu-
tional and lay Catholic charities of
the United States. This work will
be completed next year. ..
Every two years the Conference
holds a convention in Washington.
The next will take place in the
month of September; and among
the topics for discussion at the
general meeting are: The Church
in Charity the Government in
Charity; the Individual in Char
ity; the State and It's Poor; and
Cooperation Among Charities.
Sectional meetings will be held at
the same time for the considera-
ton of the problems connected
with the Dependent Child; the De-
pendent Family; and the Care of
the Sick and of the Immigrant.
Up to the present the movement
has been financed by the voluntary
contributions of friends and the
sale Of it's convention report. 1t
has been found necessary, how
ever, to establish Paying Member
ship for those who contribute three
dollars every two years, and Sus-
tanning Membership for those who
contribute ten dollars every two
years.
The officers for the year 1912
are: Honorary President, His
Eminence Cardinal Gibbons; Presi-
dent, Right Reverend Mgr. T. j.
Shahan; Treasurer, Honorable
William H.. DeLacy; and Secre-
tary, Rev. DR.. William J. Kerby,
of the Catholic University. In adj
dition there are six Vice Presidents
representing different sections of
the United States, and an execu-
tive committee composed Of prom
fnent students and opponents of
Catholic charitable activities from
many parts of America.
