XAVER|AN BROTHERS BEREAVED
Rev. Brother Eugene of the xaverian
Brothers, Convert to the Faith,
Dies at Wheeling, w. Va.

For the seventh time within the
short space of few months, death
visited the ranks of the growing Con-
gregation of the Xaverian Brothers,
this time taking to his reward Rev.
Brother Eugene, in the world Alfred
Page, the able director of the Cathedral
High School, Wheeling, w. Va.
Brother Eugene was born at Oldham,
England, March 9, 1871, and with his
parents came to this country, residing
at Lowell, Mass. Till early manhood
he was member of the Episcopal
Church and sang in st. AIMS Epis-
copal choir for years. His friendship
with students of the Xaverian Acad-
envy in Lowell and their noble
and virtuous example prompted him
to know more about the Catholic
Church, the beauties of which made a
deep impression on his mind. After a
course of instruction, he was admitted
to the Fold, and later expressed de-
sire to identify himself with the
Xayerian Brothers, a community which
conducts more than forty colleges and
schools throughout the country.
At the age of twenty-one, Brother
Eugene enlisted under the standard
of st. Francis Xavier at the Novitiate,
Mount st. Joseph's College, Baltimore,
June Is, 1892, and made his VOWS two
years later. Endowed with keen
mind and brilliant intellect, he was a
most successful and jealous educator,
his happy and sympathetic nature ap-
pealing to the student heart.
Previous to his labors at Wheeling
the deceased had spent many success
full years at Baltimore and Richmond
where he is affectionately remembered
and revered by host of Catholic and
non-Catholic pupils. For four years
Brother Eugene has presided over the
destinies of the Cathedral High School,
an institution which justly enjoys the
celebrity of being the finest prepare
tory school in the State.

ter to the newspapers at the time.
Such spiteful sectarian prejudice is, at
least, it would seem, having upon
Catholics the effect which it should
have had long ago: that of squirting
them to vigorous endeavor to Sc
cure for themselves the prominent
position in the public life of. the ma
ton to which their numbers, their in
tellectual accomplishments, and their
administrative capabilities abundantly
entitle them. For now we have four
co-religionists in that distinguished
body-Senator O'Gorman of New
York, Senator Ashurst of Arizona,
and Senators Randall and Broussard
of Louisiana. In addition to Senator
Carter, the following Catholics have
been members of the Senate; Messrs.
Mouton and Soule, of Louisiana:
Shields, from three States; Casserly,
of California; Johnston, of Virginia;
Bogy, of Missouri; Jones, of Florida;
Herman, of New York; Barbour, of
Virginia.; Kenna, of West Virginia:
Smith, of New Jersey; Murphy, of
New York; Roach, of North Dakota;
Powers, of Montana; White, of Califor-
MIA; White of Louisiana, now Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court; Heit-
feldt, of Idaho, Walsh, of Georgia;
Generals Dodge and Jones, of Iowa;
McEnery, of Louisiana, who returned
to the Church on his deathbed; Car
penter, of South Carolina, convert;
and Charles Carroll, of Maryland.

ST. SOPHIA DO NJ {
ConstantinopIe's Famous Temple
Threatens to FaIi-BuiIt in Sixth
Century-Cost $5,0oo,ooo.

Another world-famed structure now
threatens to fall. This is the sixth
century dome of the Church of st.
Sophia in Constantinople.
The Turkish authorities are making
some attempts to save it, but their eff
forts are clumsy and inefficient. In
fifteen or twenty years, it is feared, if
Turkish methods are persisted in, the
dome will break down.
Before the Italo-Turkish war the
Ottoman Government consulted with
Signed Marangoni, the restorer of the
Campanile in Venice, and M. FROST, a
French architect, but only asked them
for statement of the necessary re-
pairs. Neither Frenchman nor Italian
could agree to suffer Turkish interior
ence with work of such exquisite art
and nothing was done.
Humidity, earthquakes, fires and
bombardments have all contributed to
the undermining of the building. The
earthquake of 1893 damaged the dome
seriously, opening several serious fs-
sures. Rain water has since permeated
the masonry, weakening it every year
more and more.
The superb mosiacs in the interior
are disfgured by cracks, and even the
casual observer can see that the ex-
terror of the cupo1a no longer pre-
serves its smooth semi-circular out
line. Signor Marangoni has estimated
that 100000 would be required to re-
pair the dome.
The Ministry of Evkaf, or Pious
Foundations, has now announced it's
intention of restoring the dome, but
even il the necessary money is pro-
vided no one hopes that it will ever
be restored to it's original magnifi-
cence.
The first stone of the present ST.
Sophia was laid in 532. on the site of
several successive churches of that
name, the first of which had been
erected by Constantine the Great.
Anthemius of Tralles and Isidorus of
Miletus, were employed as architects
by the Emperor Justinfan, at whose
command the church was commenced.

CATH OL|C Senate R
Names of Catholics Who Have Been
Members of the United
States Senate.

Last year when the term of Senator
Carter of Montana expired there was
not a single Catholic in that House
of Congress which has often been
called the "Millionaires' Club" That
absence of Catholics from the Senate
was not caused by an accidental COM
bination of circumstances. It was due
largely to bigotry of the kind which
prevented Congressman Ben Johnson
of Kentucky from being nominated
for The governorship of his State, as
he himself publicly declared in let
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1912-05-18

One hundred master builders and ten
thousand workmen were employed in
it's construction, which cost the i'm
perial treasury about G1,0O0,000.
The dome was constructed of pumice
stone and Rhodian bricks. Not long
after it's completion, however, the
dome was shaken by an earthquake,
but was repaired by Isidore, the grand
son of the original architect.
In 1453, Mohamet converted the
church into mosque. In 1847-49,
when it was found that the weight of
the dome was too great for the walls,
threatening the destruction of the
whole, rather complete restoration
of the building was made by Fossati.

The New Archbishop of Athens.

In July, 1895, Pope Leo XIII by
Apostolic Letters "Adnitentibus nobis"
confided to the Assumptionists the
important charge of the seminaries of
the Greek and Slav rites, with the
Latin and Greek parishes of Kadi Keuf
and Kouni Kapon at Constantinople,
with the intention of aiding the union
of the Churches. In the same year the
House of Studies of Kadi Keuf was
founded in the old City of Chalcedony
made illustrious by it's Council of 401,
and Father Petit of the Assumptionists
was appointed its Superior. 1t is this
same simple French priest, born at
Viuz lie Chiesaz, in Upper Savoy, in
1868 and educated for the priesthood
by the aid of the Committee of Notre
Dame des Vacations, at Clairmaie, who
has now been consecrated Archbishop
of Athens and Apostolic Delegate of
Greece, and is acknowledged to be one
of the greatest scholars and Orien-
talists of his day. In his early days at
the Chalcedony Seminary he gathered
around him group of earnest young
men whose names are now well known
in the world of learning. But for their
work he required library, and moth

Does the Church approve of the
devotion to the Infant of Prague?

ueVotlon 10 the Inranr OF Hra9ue9
The Church approves of this and
similar devotions where our Lord is
worshipped under different titles in
so far as they contribute towards His
worship in the Blessed Sacrament of
the altar which is the primary object
of devotion. In their eagerness to
revel in what may be called the
novelties of devotion some people are
always on the alert for new outlets
for their piety. They seem to lose
sight of the fact that Jesus in the
Blessed Sacrament is the central
object of all worship and that other
devotions are permissible only in so
far as they tend to increase or inten-
sify devotion towards Him in the
Blessed Sacrament of His love.

The Jews in Gaticia.

But to return to Galicia and the real
conditions which prevail there. While
the Church need never fear defeat,
there is an anxiety which is Cypress
ing the people of Austrian or Polish
Gaficia, and which may lead to some
fiery outburst before long, which will
attract the eyes of Europe. This is the
extraordinary progress made by the
Jews. In German Poland the number
of Israelites has been diminishing dur
ing the years, but in Austrian Poland
it has increased. It is of great import
ance because they congregate in the
towns, where they have grasped all
the commerce, and find greater facilit-
les for educating their children.
The Fauberg Casimir at Cracow,
only few hours from Berlin or Wen
ma, is a very curious Ghetto, but the
small towns of Poland are still more
curious. In them one finds the Jews
exactly as they were in the Middle
Ages, save for their disabilities, which
are now gone. They have kept the
curious costume of the past, the long
dark gaberdine and the hair curling on
the temple which gives them such a
singular and sinister appearance.
Their language, customs, and super
stitions are the same as they were in
the seventh and eigth centuries. But
they have multiplied to such an extent
that they now form a tenth part of

We have heard a good deal recently
of the troubles in Galicia, a dependency
of Austria, in which many peoples
meet and mingle and where Eastern
and Western ideas are continually con-
f1icting. A member of the Russian
Duma tells us that the poor people
of Galicia are, in most cases, little
Russians and that they are being forced
from their allegiance to the Orthodox
Church, by the wicked Poles who will
insist on making them Catholics. Yet
at the same time we know from other
sources that Lithuania which is contig-
uous to Galicia is enduring persecu-
ton from the Russian Government,
which forces the peasantry, who pro-
fess the innate Rite in communion with
Rome to conform outwardly at least to
the Greek Church, or condemn them to
Imprisonment, exile and torture. Why,
the noble, young Lithuanian priest
who went down in the wreck of the
Titanic few weeks ago was an exile
for the faiths sake. Catholic priests
are forbidden to receive converts with
out going through great deal of red
tape and getting permission from the
Governor of the town, or province, in
which the convert resides. Father
Mantvilla committed the mistake of
imagining that this procedure, which
includes the segregation of the pro-
posed convert for some months, could
scarcely apply to baby and, at the
request of two parents who were out
wardly Orthodox, he received an in
FAINT into the Catholic Church. His
offence was complicated some days
later by his administration of the last
Sacraments to an aged man who, also
outwardly Orthodox, desired on his
death-bed to make his peace with the
Catholic Church. In passing, one may
recall here the story which is now
being told of the hereto Melancthon.
He was asked by his mother, who had
followed her son, and was then on her
death-bed, in what faith he really be-
lieved she would save her soul. He
replied that he considered she would
save her soul in any event. But being
adiured filia1 duty and in the most So
lemn terms, Melancthon answered. IF
you will make quite sure you should
die in the Catholic faith For "mak-
ing quite sure" on behalf of this old
peasant the young priest we were
speaking of was exiled from his native
land. Filled with ardour for souls he
came to England, to learn the Anglo
Saxon tongue, that he might aid other
exiles in the States, and on his jour-
ney he received another call, this time
it was Home.
