INVENTOR Of FRENCH
SHORTHAND DEAD
FATHER DUPLoYE INVENTED AND
PERFECTED A SYSTEM OF
SHORTHAND NOW ADAPTED TO
OVER TWENTY LANGUAGES.

The death occurred recently at Sim
ceny, in France, of Rev. M. Emile Du-
ploye, who was called the Grand Old
Man" of French shorthand.
Rev. M. Duploye was born at Notre
Dame de Liesse, Aisne, on September
10, 1888, and after completing his edu-
cation at the seminary Of the same
diocese, took holy orders and became
parish priest of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
It was during his stay at Montigny
that he invented and perfected the
shorthand system that bears his name.
At the age of twenty-seven, full of en-
thusiasm for the product of his genius,
he set out for the capital, and there
published his first book. For thirty
nine years he remained in Paris &C
lively engaged in the propagation of
his system with the assistance of his
three brothers, notably the youngest,
M. Gustave Duploye, who became Off
cial stenographer to the French Sem
ate. During that period the Duployes
populaEized shorthand in France. Du-
ployan shorthand became the almost
universal one in that country, being
taught in over three thousand govern

RUSSIA ANNOYs CATHOLICS
CONFISCATES AL
TAR FIXTURES FROM oRAToRY
OF. CONVENT BECAUSE 1T WAS
NOT A LICENSED PLACE OF
WORSHIP.

The Russian correspondent of the
London Catholic Times gives some
instances of vexations interference
with Catholic worship in the city of
st. Petersburg. Quite lately the po-
lice entered the school of the French
Sisters of st. Joseph in that city and
carried off the altar and candlesticks
from their private oratory, apparently
because it was an unlicensed place of
worship. There was no resident
priest, but the oratory was served by
priests from various churches, and
had been in existence about fifteen
years. Besides that they were con-
demned to pay a fine Of 500 roubles,
or about $3.50. So great was the hub
bub created in the French colony, that
the fine was RENTED. Probably the
altar too will be restored when per-
mission has been granted to continue
the services. Another arbitrary act
has been the closing of the Uniat
Church, which received Imperial
sanction for it's establishment some
years ago. The only ostensible rea-
son for closing it was that a notice
board outside styled the church the
Russian Catholic Church." and the
ruling powers objected to this term.
The Latin Metropolitan ordered the
sign to be removed, but the priest in
charge failed to execute his order, so
the police came down on the church
and closed it.

DIOCESE OF WINONA

Rochester: Reverend Michae
O'Regan, who has been assistant at
the Church of ST. John since his or
dination two years ago, has been as
signed to the parish at Rushford. Rev.
Herman McKenna succeeds him.
Mankato: The hearing on the in
junction sought by Reverend Robert
Hughes to prohibit religious exercises
in the public schools has been post
poned. The order to show cause why
the board of education and high school
faculty should not be enjoined from
reading extracts from King James
version of the Bible, singing religious
songs and offering prayers at the Mon
day morning exercises in the high
school, pending the outcome of the
suit for a permanent injunction, will
be heard at the June term of the dis
trict court. The reason for the adj
journment in this matter was an al
legged technical error in the papers
and special appearance on the part
of the school district.
An effort is being made to have the
Loyola Choral Society reproduce the
operetta, "a Nautical Knot" which
they presented so successfully, April
10, in the Loyala Club. The members
of the society were trained in this
production by Professor F.. j. Brezin
sky, musical director, and J. e. Regain
stage director.

girls trip half across the continent
Martha's home was in Missouri until
her father caught the fever and with
thousands of other emigrant "Pikers"
set out for California. That journey of
1000 miles over deserts and mountains
was full of hardship and seemed end
less. Each day brought some strange
sight or new experience; the excite
ment of making first camp, the en-
counters with trappers, hunters and
Indians, the dangerous crossing of the
Great Salt Desert and at last the
beautiful valley on the western side
of the mountains, where Martha's
family and friends made their new
home. Martha, who was very OBJ
serving little girl, has here related
all this most entertainingly.

TOWER OF BABEL
REPORTED TO BE FOUND BY Elk
PLORER IN ANCIENT CITY.

Archaeologists were stirred by the
remarkable report laid before the
Academy of Inscriptions and Bellies
Lettres in Paris on April % by the
Able Henri de Genouillac, who has
just returned from the excavations in
Babylonia and believes he has found
the biblical tower of Babel.
The Able de Genouillac was sent by
the French institute on mission of
research to Ell Ahymer, about eighty
miles south of Bagdad and short dis
lance from Euphrates. There he laid
bare the remains Of the city of Kiss,
one of the earliest capitals of Baby
lonia, far older than Babylon itself,
and uncovered an immense palace sim
liar to the early royal buildings dis
covered elsewhere in that country.
In the middle of the great court
yard of the palace were the ruins of
an immensely high tower named. "The
Temple of the Foundation of Heaven
and Earth" and sacred to the national
god, banana.
This temple, with its Strange name,
the Able de Genouillac thinks, is the
original of the biblical tower which
was intended to reach from earth to
heaven. Statuettes and vases were
found among the ruins, showing that
the latter were not later than the reign
of Hammurabi, 2100 B. G.

Eugenics: By Lawrence r. Flick, M.
D. Published by John Joseph Nc
Vey, Philadelphia. Price 10 cents
copy; $3.50 per hundred.
This lecture on Eugenics was de
livered by DR.. Flick, a former presi-
dent of the American Catholic Histor-
ical Society, in the Catholic summer
school extension course held at Phila-
delphia during the past winter. It
treats this much-discussed subject
from the biological, the legal, and the
moral standpoints. In it he shows
conclusively the futility of the at
tempt, now being made in many
quarters, to heal human ills or to Sc.
cure racial betterment through merely
external or legislative means without
applying those remedies and agencies
which alone can reach the source OF
social disorders, the mind and heart
and moral and religious sense, OF
the individual.
After very thorough discussion oil
the question DR.. Flick concludes that
Christian marriage gives the best
condition for Eugenics from every
viewpoint" and that "the teachings
of Christianity are the greatest power
for Eugenics that the world has seer
and the Catholic Church as the visible
repository, custodian and interpreter
of those teachings win have to be the
saviour of civilization" The pamph
let is worthy of careful study by all
who are interested in this question
which is now obsessing the minds o
