German Mission Ends.

The German mission given during this
week at St Mary's Church, by Fathers
Benedict and Vitus, of the Congrega-
ton Of the Most Precious Blood, has
been successful beyond expectations. II
will soIemnly close Sunday night at 100
o'clock.
During the second week OF the mis-
sion the exercises will be exclusively in
English, and will be for both men and
women. The English mission will open
Sunday morning, with mission instruc-
lions at the 9:15 and 1880 o'clock masses
The latter will be a solemn high mass,
at which the blessed palms will be dis
tributed. The first evening mission serv-
ice in English will be conducted on Mon

will be held at the same hour each

week. Weekday masses will be celebrat-
ed at 6, I. S. and o'clock, the first and
last masses TO be accompanied with mis-
sion instructions.
Extensive preparations are being COM
pleted TO handle the crowds expected at
the night services next week. The repu-
tation Of the priests of the Compensation
Of the Most Precious Blood as mission
airy preachers is worldwide. and as this
is the first time in the history Of the
diCnulOCese Wnen lne orOer mas con-
scented to send its missionaries to the
Capital City, 1t is expected that st.
Mary's will be taxed to its capacity, by
not only Catholics. but also by many nom
Catholics throughout the city. The regu-
lar body of ushers at st. Mary's, under
the direction of Mr.. Joseph Zegowitz, will
be REINFORCED by specially appointed lay
men of the parish, and assurance is
given that the mission crowds will find
excellent order and comfortable seating

Plans for Mission Work.

Ten .deaconesses will be consecrated
| more than a dozen missionaries will be
accepted and assigned to home and for.
eign posts, and a general plan Of mis-.

sions of he church. The general board
carries two distinct departments of work
home and foreign missions. and is COM
posed of ten laymen, ten preachers. ten
women. and the officers. The officers are

eign and home secretaries, editorial and
educational secretaries two each. and
man and woman treasureTs. DR.. W. w.
Pinson is the general secretary OF the

willie, Tenn.
The woman's part of the work IL
planned at this council meeting when a
review of the work done by the women Is

Constantinian Centenary.

Almost any day now the committee for
the Constantinian centenary, Rome, will
send to all the bishops OF the Catholic
world a detailed programme Of the pro-
posed celebration. The centenary will
not be inaugurated until 1913. but public
interest is already aroused in the subject
and numerous pilgrimages to Rome from
various parts of the world are projected.
The committee has been digging up his
tory Of the strategic but not great bat
tie.
First of all there is some controversy as
to the site. That tremendous modern
| strategist, Won MoItke. who made a study
| of the ground outside Rome on both
| banks of the Tiber. was OF the opinion
that for strategical reasons the fight
must have ragged around the little hills
, that jut out toward the Tfber between the
stream known now as the Valchetta and
the Celsa. Historians, however. point
out that IL was largely cavalry battle
and therefore must have taken place in
the plain where the Tiber makes a broad
curve under the famous villa Of Livia.
Perhaps the real truth is that the fight
ing extended several miles along the
banks Of the Tiber.
Eusebius relates how Constantine
fought under the inspiration OF the ap-
partition of a cross in the heavens girt
"-hA AAaN A-ONho Al hAAAo EAeh AhON ohdAN
conquer"
1t is claimed there are strong evidences
Of the truth Of the apparition in the at
titude Of Constantine toward Christian
ity and the Christians after his victory,
in his own conversion in the Christian
monogram. which thenceforth figured on
the standards of the Roman legions and
even on the helmet of the Emperor him
self. as is learned from the medals Of the
time, in the indirect testimony OF pagan
writers, and in the phrase which may
still be read by the passer-by on the arch
on Constantine: 'Instinctu divinitatis."
This arch, one Of the most conspicuous
and perfect monuments Of ancient Rome
still left standing. will be one Of the
chief goals of American visitors to Rome
next year. Artistically the best part of
1t consists OF fragments taken from ear
lier monuments, especially OF the time Of
Trajan, but historically 1t is chiefly in
teresting for its sculptured records OF
Constantine's victories in Italy culminat-
ing in his triumph over Maxentius at the
very gates of Rome.
The committee will send a deputation
to America to invite delegations and pill
grims, so important does the Church In
Rome regard the church in this country.

PlTTSBURGERS FLAT-F0OTEO
Over 30 Per Cent of Men There Have Broken Arches, Says
 pr. Sable.

Pittsburg, Aug 20.-There are more fat-footed men in Pittsburg than in any other American city, says Dr. D.. E. Sable, surgeon to the civil service commission. More than 30 per cent of the men have broken ankles. the doctor says. About the women's feet he will say nothing.
 Asked to explain the cause, Dr. Sable said he supposed 1t was because of the hilly topography of Pittsburg, the ef- feet of walking up hill and from the jar coming down being to break the arch and make the flat feet. Another reason, he said, is that men don't realize the importance of the foot and won't give it enough attention.
