IS a mystery, Monsignor Duchesne himselfs discredits the suggestion that the action was taken as a slap at France because he was elected q member of the French Academy The charge that it was because he Is "modernist" seems also to have been disproven by his unblemished record fer orthodoxy.
 In his work, Monsignor Duchesne declared there was no historical proof that Saint Peter was ever in Rome, or that as the first bishop and Pope, he handed down the keys of Heaven to the long line of pon- tiffs that followed According to the belief of the church. Saint Peter was the first missionary to Rome and resided there for twenty-five years.
 Saint Peter Gets Blame.
 It Is believed pretty generally that the condemnation was based on the denial of Saint Peters residence in Rome and of the handing down of the keys of Heaven, but the mysterious feature of the affair is why the Congregation waited thirty years before banning the publication.
 In an interview, Monsignor Ouch esne said
 Tn my own mind and in my own religious belief there is no doubt that Saint Peter came to Rome and founded the Catholic Church. How ever in writing book that was pure ly historical, and one that would stand the most rigid investigation, l was compelled to admit that so far as proof was concerned there is no evidence that Saint Peter was ever in Rome"
 Duchess of Aosta III.
 Prayers are being said all over Italy for the recovery of the Ouch ess of Aosta, who was stricken with fever while acting as nurse on beard the hospital ship Menfi. The duchess is the idol of the army and daily reports of her condition are sent to the soldiers in Tripoli Just before she was stricken, a wounded lieutenant found a nurse bending over him. He was told that two bullets had been extracted from his arm and expressed a desire to keep them as souvenirs. The nurse departed and returning a few min utes later presented him with a heart-shaped, jeweled case contain ing the bullets.
 Surprised at the value of the case the lieutenant asked an attendant to tell him the nurses name. Tt was the Duchess of Aosta, a cousin of the king" was the reply.

 If there Were, or me. any woman sutfragists vho believed hey had better claim eo a vo.e raan Chin ese men there is certainly nj much consolation in the thought La. even Chinese women have secured rne Franchise which is ya. denied 10 Americau women.

 II is, unfortunately for them their lot to live in stupid, prcjujiced, backward, unprogressiye land like the United States rather than in highly civilized enlightened. mod ern, progressive country like China.
 It is generally admitted that the Chinese men possess superior intel ligenCe, but the American women should not feel discouraged bE the apparent stupidity of their own men in comparison. They are really not naturally stupid, but, unlike the Chin csc, are rather ayerse to change. It is not impossible that by strenu- N'9 anu PS'Si9tSil' 'S'1+lIt5 'Lt9 hidS yet be raised to the level f Chinese male intelligence in this matter.

 When the pope, a cardinal or an archbishop receive women they usually are attired in black high-neck dress. With the invitation for the cardinals reception next Monday wera issued cards saying that wo- men mus wear high-neck dresses. There is no restriction regarding color, but black is most suitable. as is also a black mantilla as a head covering"
 Speaking of mantillas, added the secretary, T hope Catholic women will wear them generally. as big hats interfere with the view of the ceremony at the altar Large hats ill church are entirely out of place. and with huge hatpins they are very dangerous"

 ROME, March 22-The recent con douuH,ion ay the Holy Congregation of ..o lu4eE of The Ancient His .ors eff the Church" written by Mon, s.=a7~ Duaassnc is rhe subject of much speculation in Catholic circles here. The book was published thirty feats ago in 1882, and for years had been used as a textbook in many of Inc leading Catholic schools.
 The condemnation of the work was wholly unexpected and the req son why the Holy Congregation took he action after thirty years has mol we. been revealed.
 Nonsisuor Duchesne is one of the n st prominent members of the Cath c5ie clergy. Two years ago he was elected a member of the French Acad- lInE largely because of the reputation @aieh he had acquired by writing the book. By the orders of the Holy Congregation, he must withdraw the work from publication under pain If communication. All Catholics who read the book will meet with similar punishment.
 AssaiIed by Jesuit.
 No opposition to the work appeared until ab1ut two years ago, when Monsignor Duchesne, who was then director of the French school at Rome, was called to Paris by his election to membership in the French Academy. His history was then attacked by a Jesuit instructor at Florence, After series of violent articles published in a Catholic paper al Florence, Cardinal De Lai issued a ban prohibiting the further use of the book in Catholic schools.
 Although the work has been under more or less public discussion ever since, it was never dreamed by the author that it would be condemned by the Congregation of the Index with all of the oldtime vigor and force that marked the early work ings of that body. Two days before the pontifical decree of condemna- tion was given out, Monsignor Duch- esene, at a dinner given in his hcnor at Rome, was twitted about the rumors that his book had been de- nounced before the Congregation.
 Laughed at Twitting.
 He laughed heartily at the sug- gestion, declaring that in the pres ent age the condemnation of a work that had been in circulation for thirty years and had been accepted by the Pope and the best eccles- iastical authorities, was utterly inn possible.

The editorial in which this suggestion was made appeared in the issue of April 3, 1911. and was as follows:
 "ONE WAY TO GET ACTION.
 ITO the Citizen il appears that the failure Of the grand jury to get action on any of those responsible for the wrecking of the Washington- Alaska bank is directly attributable to the fact that the evidence was not put before them in a way that fully exposed the illicit intent of those who skillfully maneuyered t1 get hold of the depositors' money. That the bank was robbed and that Bar nette, Parsons ct al. were the loot CTS is the general impression but It has come to be understood that if such is the case their tracks have been skillfully covered.
 'To the laymen such as constitute the ordinary grand jury. the books showing the transactions of a bank for couple of years constitute sim ply enc great mass of figures: and it is not to be expected that a per fectly lucid idea of the exact con ditions could be attained by them with the limited information at their command.
