OLD BOSTON CHAPEL
History of First Catholic Gene
terry in New England.
Burial Of Mgr. Denis o'caIlaehan In
South Boston Reveals Facts Con-
ss,ning Quaint Little Structure
Erected Nearly Century.

Boston.-With the ~disbanding OF the
cortege, numbering thousands, which
escorted the remains of Mgr. Denis
O'Callaghan, South Boston's beloved
priest, to their last resting place with
in the walls of st. Augustine's chapel,
a few days ago, the strange fact de-
veloped, through fragments Of CONVEX
sation overheard here and tANGe, that
but few Of all the throng had ever
before heard of the quaint little brick
structure on Dorchester street, South
Boston, or of the little cemetery
which lies around it.
Yet that little chapel and its GENE
terry are possessed of deep historic
interest to New England Catholics, for
the cemetery was the first New Eng
land soil ~consecrated to the burial
Of Catholics exclusively, and within
the walls of the chapel rest the ashes
of many Of the pioneers among the
priests Of what is now the archdio-
cese Of Boston.
Nearly a century ago, in 1878 to be
exact, st. Augustine's cemetery was
established. It's setting aside was
due to the sentimental regard of Bish-
op John Cheverus, the first Catholic
bishop of Boston, for the compatriot
and co-worker, FIR. Francis Anthony
Matignon, who had been a priest in
Boston for more than a quarter of q
oapt,,rxy n. Moffonnp MOS oont RI
this city in 1892 to administer to the
spiritual needs of the then relative
ly small Catholic colony, and four
years later, finding the field of his en-
deavors growing constantly, he sent
to France and induced Fir. Cheverus
to join him in the work. When the
authorities at Rome decided to raise
Boston to a bishopric it was intended
to promote FIR. Martignon, but he pre-
vailed upon them to confer the honor
on FIR. Cheverus instead.
When Fr. Martignon died, in 1878,
there was no Catholic burying ground
in this section, and the body was laid
in the family tomb of John Magner,
in the Old Granary burying ground.
Resolved that his longtime friend
and co-worker should rest in conse-
Grated soil, with a fitting monument,
Bishop Cheverus. decided upon the
requisition of a Catholic burying
ground and the erection Of a chapel
in it.

not be secured within the then mar
row limits of the city or whether the
purchase of city property was beyond

u. S. AID FOR GOOD ROADS
THREE BILLION DOLLARS TO BE
APPROPRIATED, PLAN.
Senator Bourne Proposes Scheme
Whereby States Could Get Fed
eral Aid for Highways.

Washington, D. Can expendi-
ture of $4,000, 600, 900 for good roads,
81, 900, 100000 being for construction
and $4,000, 000, 600 for maintenance,
the investment to extend over a peri
cd of so years, was proposed in a plan
submitted to the joint congressional
committee on federal aid in the con
struction of post roads by former Sen
ator Bourne Of oregon.
Senator Bourne's plan provides for
federal and state cooperation. He al
son suggested the establishment of a
national school of highway and
bridge engineering from which trained
specialists in road building would be
supplied to the various states.
The $1,000, O00, 00Ot construction
fund. according to Senator Bourne's
plans, would be apportioned among
the states on the basis of area, popu-
lation, assessed valuation and road
mileage.
The states would be required to de-
rosit in the United States treasury
50-year 4 per cent bonds for the
amount due them. The government
would then loan the state the par val
ue thereof for road construction, the
government raising its fund by the
sale of 50-year ~non-taxable 8 per cent
bonds.
By crediting each state with the ex-
cess of the interest paid on the bond
aad allowing 3 per cent on the amount
compounded annually, a sinking fund
would be established from which the
government would pay off the bonds
at the end of so years and the state
would be relieved of the payment of
nrinpinaI on its honds

ALIEN LAND ACT
SECRETARY BRYAN WINS FIRST
VICTORY FOR WILSON.
California Measure Is Changed to Ad-
nit Of Three-Year Tenure
of Nonresidents.

Sacramento, Cal-Secretary OF
State yryan's mission to mitigate
the rigor of the anti-alien land-own-
ing legislation Unexpectedly vas vic
torious when the administration
forces in the upper house of the legis-
lature showed a division on an amend
ment to the Webb bill permitting
aliens to lease land three years.
Although the amendment was
passed as Gov. Johnson and his chief
Progressive ~lieutenants intended it,
the division caused the administra-
ton chief some anxiety.
Senators Boynton and Thompson,
the chief l~ieutenants of the governor
in the upper house, approved the
amendment, as did the Democrats,
but Senator Birdsall, author of the
original anttalien measure, and other
Progressives opposed 1t.
This is the first sign that the ad-
ministration is weakening.
Amendment Is offered.
Shortly after the senate took up
consideration of the Webb bill, Sena-
tor Boynton, one of the Progressive
leaders, was recognized and offered a
three-year leasing amendment, He
explained that the amendment was
designed to benefit the farmers of the
Sacramento valley and provided that
leaseholds might be renewed to aliens
after the first three years, but not to
the aliens who previously held them.
Several Democratic senators got the
floor and expressed approval of the
plan, but Finn (Prog,) opposed 1t
strongly.

Chapel of Cemetery Built in 1918.

the means of the small Catholic com
munity is not know known, but the re-
suit Of the bishops quest was the pur-
chase Of a small plot Of farming land
on the outskirts of South Boston, then
a separate town. Here st. August
ines chapel building, by 30 feet in
floor dimension, was erected, and to
it was transferred the body of FIR. Mat
ignon, which rests in a sepulchre at
the right of the little altar, marked
by a tablet.
Soon after the chapel was finished
the scattered Catholics Of Mattapan,
Milton, Quincy. Dedham and places
further remote, petitioned the bishop
for the privilege of attending services
in 1t, and the petition was granted.
In 1888 the chapel was enlarged to a
seating capacity Of $50.
BY 1845 the migration of Catholics
from the Fort Hill section Of Boston
to South Boston served to overtax
the capacity of the chapel, and it's
8 as a'place of worship was discon-
tinued and the Church Of IS. Peter
and Paul, on Broadway, near Dorches-
ter avenue, was erected. Fire dam
aging the new church In 1S48, the
chapel was again used for a few
months. From then until 1868 1t was
used only for memorial masses In
that year 1t was made to serve as the
nucleus Of the newly created st. Aug
ustine's parish, to which Fir. O'Cal-
laghan was assigned as pastor. Since
1871 the only service held in the chap
Ell has been a monthly mass for the
dead.
The interior of the chapel Is the
resting place Of the Rt. Rev. John B.
Fitzpatrick, the third bishop Of the
Boston diocese. and many others.
The names Of families prominent
In the early Catholic annals Of Boston
appear on the monuments and head
stones in the little cemetery.
It is doubtful IL ever another mis-
sion station net up in such a humble
way became on a greater scale the
center Of the faith to which 1t was
dedicated.
