Chinese Lepers SettIement.-The
Republic of China has entrusted to
Bishop Merel the leper settlement in
Canton, numbering fully 1000 lepers.
Worth of Money in India.-We gain
some idea of how far a little goes in
India from the fact that $50 will sup
port bed for an entire year, while
dollar bill will enable skilled hands
and kind hearts to minister to a pa
tient for week.
PapaI Honors for Frenchmen.-The
Holy Father has conferred the insig-
mia of Gregory the Great upon two
eminent Frenchmen, Mgr. Zirnheld, of
the Catholic Syndicate of Employees
of Commerce. and Mgr. Theodore Bot
rel, the song-writer.
New Bishop for PoIinesia.-The
Archbishop of Freiburg, assisted by
the Bishops of Strassburg and Speyer,
Germany, consecrated the Capuchin
Father Salvador WaIleser, Bishop for
the Carolins and Marian Islands in
POLYNESIA.
Bavaria and Holy See.-Under the
rule Of the present Prince Regent of
Bavaria the cordiality which marked
the relations between the Holy See
and the Bavarian Government during
the regime of the late Prince Luitpold
bids fair rather to increase than di-
minish. A despatch from Munich to
Rome reports the visit of Baron Won
Hertling, President of the Council of
Ministers, to Archbishop Fruhwirth,
Nuncio Apostolic, for the purpose of
personally presenting his Grace with
the Grand Cross of the Order of the
Crown, which his Royal Highness the
Prince Regent has conferred upon the
Pope's representative.
| SacriIeaious Deception i'm Oxford
Near the station in Oxford, England,
there is schismatic place of worship
| styled Catholic Church of st. Cici-
| liza" whose notice board announces
Low Mass at an early hour and High
Mass at a later hour. A number of
people have been deceived by this mis-
leading announcement. This chapel
| is not in communion with the Holy
See, but is under the management of
a gentleman named King Hall. Quite
recently well-known Catholic lay
man very nearly received Holy Com
munion in this chapel, unknowingly
put up candles, and made a long visit
to what he believed to be the Blessed
Sacrament. Some little time since a
priest was deceived in the same way,
and was on the point of asking per-
mission to say Mass within the walls
of this conventicle when, fortunately,
he discovered the state of affairs.
Presentation to Cardinal Bourne

League of the Province of Westmin-
ster who had subscribed to present a
professional cross to his Eminence
Cardinal Bourne in commemoration of
LIS 0I0NdIlOA W LILO OdCE6u COll0S0,
were recently received by his Emin-
ence and presented their gift. The
cross, in silver and enamel, studded
with natural crystals, is the product
of the firm of Messrs. Bentley, archi-
tects of Westminster Cathedral, who
have taken a year to execute it.
Plight of Catholic Seamen.-It has
been stated recently, says the London
STANDARD" that Roman Catholics on
board his Majesty's ships are worse
off for religious privileges and facil-
tiles than they would be in prison.
1t is true that they are landed when
possible to hear Mass, but after they
leave the shore they have no oppor-
tunity for Confession and Communion
Scotch Catholics and the University.
