representatives who regularly attend
the sessions. Likewise, among clergy.
men of all denominations there are
many who take an active part in the
work.
The Conference was organized
twenty years ago in St. Paul and has
had very much to do in shaping legis
lation for the State. Bishop McGol
rick, of Duluth, was one of it's active
promoters in the beginning. Other
Catholic clergymen who have been
actively affiliated with it are Father
Gaughan, of st. Stephens parish, Min
neapolis, and especially the late Father
McNulty, of st. Luke's parish, St. Paul
Father Ryan is the first priest to be
elected to the Office of president, al
though several have held membership
in the Executive Committee. The
Catholic laymen who have occupied
that position are A. w. Gutridge, of St
Paul; Frank L. Randall, of st. Cloud
and A. J. Eckstein, formerly of New
Ulm.
Father Ryan's studies in sociology
admirably fit him for the position Of
President and there is no doubt thai
during his administration a new i'm
petus will be given to the work il
which the Conference is engaged.

GHALDEAN CAT HOAICs
Ministered to in America by Chaldean
Priests-Live in Chicago and Larger
ing History.

Unknown to many Americans, a
large and increasing number of Chal-
deans live in this country. They are
generally confounded with the Per-
slams. Nevertheless an ancient name
of this nation is mentioned in history,
and the Bible itself speaks Of its kings
and its battles. It is situated in Meso-
potamia, Syria and Chaldea. It's most
important cities are Babylon and
Ninevah. Four centuries before the
Christian era it was conquered by
the Medes and Persians. On the last
night of it's power Belshazzar, sitting
at banquet with his friends and
drinking wine from the sacred vessels
of the temple, suddenly beheld hand
writing the awful message upon the
wall: "Thou hast been weighed in the
balance and found wanting" He was
massacred that very night. From
that time until now Turk and Persian
have ruled this nation in turn.
The Chaldeans were converted to
Christianity in the beginning OF the
first century by the apostle St
Thomas, who is their patron
and his disciples, SIS. Addy
and Maris. Many great men
bear witness to the culture, science
and the sanctity which were once pre-
dominant among the Chaldeans, among
them St. Ephraim, St. James and St.
Simon, the martyr. They also dis
tinguished themselves i'm the mission.
ary field, sending missionaries to Per.
sia, Turkey, India, and even as far
east as China. AS soon, however, as
the Mohammedans swept over the
Orient and began the destruction OF
Christianity, their children were mas
sacred, their missionaries banished
and their schools and churches de-
molished and razed to the ground
| Thus Chaldea lost her first glory and
gradually became Impoverished and
| weakened in numbers. Those, how.
ever, who remain hold fast to their
| Catholic faith. At present there are
sixteen bishops and one patriarch
who resides at Mosul, Turkey.
In the last century missionaries from
| the West entered Turkey and Persia
and made known the wonderful ma
terial progress of the United States. In
consequence, the little more then ten
years ago, Turks, Persians and Chal
| deans began to cross Europe and the
Atlantic to seek their fortunes in the
new land. The Chaldeans have made
their homes principally in Chicago
Yonkers and New Britain, N. Y, and
Philadelphia
Since they had no priests OF theil
own nationality, the clergy of this
country took upon themselves the tasl
OF looking after their spiritual needs
Recently, however, Chaldean priests
have followed their people to this
country and now they receive the ga
craments and hear the world OF God In
their own language.

most humane act that could have hap

Brothers All Captains
OF Yale Ball Teams
Reilly Family, of Brockton. Mass, Has Turned Out
Three Rafting Good Players.

There probably isn't another family in
the world that has attained as high a
place in the college athletic world as the
Reilly family, of Brockton, Mass.
The boys have established records at
preparatory schools and colleges that are
enyied by thousands of young men. and
which is quite remarkable in view OF the
fact that the three boys have all accom-
plished practically the same feats.
The trio Of which their parents are
SO proud are Bernard R. Reilly, James
A. Reilly, and John H. Reilly, sons Of
Mr.. and Mrs. James H. Reilly, Of High
land Street, Brockton, Mass. The three
boys are probably better known in the
college athletic world than any other ath-
letes.
Barney, or Bernard, became famous
when he played baseball with the Brock
ton High School teams back In 1902. He
played with the high school four sessions,
and was captain one year. He was a
great player for one so young, and the
team he captained was the best ever turn
ed out from the local Institution. Reilly
is recognized as the best ball player ever
developed In Brockton. Going to Phillips
Andover Academy with practically no
money with which to pay his expenses.
Barney made good in his studies and
then made hood at athletics. He made
enough mdNsy outside OF school hours
to pay his younger brothers tuition, and
paved the way for a still younger brother.
Played with Andover.
He played with the Andover baseball
team four years. and captained IL twice.
He was leader of the fastest baseball
team Andover has ever turned out. He
was for two years captain of the basket
bail team, manager Of the track team,
cheer leader, played football, basketball,
and was member Of the track team
and captain of his class track team. He
was voted the most popular boy In the
school-a great honor-was q member of
the school council. the glee club. class
relay team, the school athletic advisory
board, and president Of his class
Going to Yale University. Barney was
elected captain OF the freshman baseball
tesm. and then played professional base
