find the treasure, says DR.. Charles
F. Secord, long a medical missionary
in Guatemala.
DR., Secord is now in the United
States on scientific mission for
President Cabre]a. and is visiting his
mother in Omaha. The secret of
the treasures hiding place has been
held by the witch doctor" caste of
natives, and the whites have.never
been successful in learning the
secret.
Il know that the treasure exists,
says DR.. Secord. I have seen and
handled small images of gold, and
once | was shown great disk Of
gold that must have been worth a
small torture. I was informed that
the images were from the secret
hoard of the Indians, but no white
man who values his life will attempt
to discover that secret unless he be
backed by good sized army"

Guatemala. He was not attached

FUNDS FOR JARO DIOCESE
PHILADELPHIA GIVES $154,ooo TO
BISHOP DoUGHERTY FOR HIS
DISTANT DIOCESE.

The Right Rev. d. ]. Dougherty,
Bishop of Jaro in the Philippines, has
recently been in this country collect
ing money for his mission. Bishop
Dougherty comes from the Archdiocese
of Philadelphia, and it was in that
city that he secured the good will
of both clergy and laity. With him
was Rev. Edward L. Roe, vice-presi-
dent of the Catholic Church Exten-
sion Society, Chicago, who shared
with him the burden of collecting.
The amount received was $4,000 and
$4,000 is promised. The Archdiocese
of Philadelphia evidently intends to
tighten the burden that the Church
has placed on the shoulders of one of
her former priests. The Diocese of
Jaro is located in the southern part of
the archipelago. The Catholic Church
Extension Society has always mani
tested great interest in the Philip
pine mission, having given $4,000 to
aid in rebuilding the seminary at Jaro,
some few years ago.

NEW CATHOLIC PEER
LORD ASHRoURNE AND HIS WIFE
ARE CONVERTS TO THE
CHURCH.

The Honorable William Gibson, who
now succeeds to the peerage as Lord
Ashbourne, was born in 1868, says the
Tablet. From Harrow, he went to
Trinity, Dublin, where he took his B.
A.; and from the Oxford days which
followed, dates his profession of the
Catholic faith. His interest in re-
ligious and philosophical discussion
was shown by his founding in 1898, the
Roger Bacon Society, and he is the
author of book on Lamennais and
the French religious movement asso-
ciated with his name More recently
the Gaelic movement in Ireland has
found in Lord Ashbourne one Of its
most enthusiastic leaders even down
to the wearing of the Irish kilt, garb
likely to astonish the janitors of the
House of Lords. To speak Gaelic has
been decreed unlawful in the Lower
House; VIII it be possible for Lord
Ashbourne to dress Gaelic in the Up.
per? Lady Ashbourne, the daughter
of one Of the most eminent Of French
Protestant houses. became a Catholic
shortly after her marriage.

of delegates showed that mapority
of the representatives of the forty
nine papers and periodicals affiliated
with the Association was in attend
ance.
The annual report of President
Cooney reviewed the work of the or
ganization during the past year, and
contained suggestions for the success
of Catholic newspapers, particularly in
the departments of advertising and
circulation. After the reading of the
reports of other officers, there was a
general discussion of newspaper ad-
vertising participated in by DR.. Conde
B. Pallen, of New York, associate edi-
tor of the Catholic Encyclopedia, and
Hon. Ambrose Willis, of the London
Tablet.
The report of the secretary, Mr..
Jaegle, of Pittsburg, showed that the
weekly cable service had cost $3,289
from October, 1912, to the date of the
convention Plans we're made for the
improving of this service, looking to-
wards an exclusive Catholic Press
Syndicate that will supply Catholic
weeklies and magazines with reliable
Catholic news, and bring about a
closer association of the Catholic
newspapers of America with those of
Europe.

the choice of Mr.. John P. Chew, edi-
tor of Church Progress" st. Louis,

CORNERSTONE OF ST. coNSTAN-
TINES CHURCH, MINNEAPOLIS,
LAID BY MGR. KURYLo.
Sermon by Archbishop IreIand-Great
Parade of Catholic Slavic Societies
Banquet and Toasts-Church Soon
Ready for Occupancy.

An impressive ceremony in the
Ruthenian Rite was carried out with
elaborate detail at the cornerstone
laying of the Catholic Ruthenian
Church of st. Constantine, Minnea-
polls, which took place last Sunday
afternoon. The celebration was par
ticipated in by the representatives of
the different Slavic peoples living in
Minneapolis, and was one of the larg-
est and most important gatherings of
these nationalities which ever took
place in the Northwest.
The ceremony was scheduled for
three o'clock in the afternoon. Prior
to that hour, seventeen societies rep
resenting the Catholic Ruthenians,
Poles, Slovacks and Bohemians formed
in parade, each society adding its
quota as the procession moved past
the church to which it belonged. The
procession ended at the new Church
of ST. Constantine, on the corner of
University street and Sixth avenue,
northeast, where fully 10000 people
of Slavic descent had already as
sembled to witness the imposing func-
tion.
The different societies, with mem
bership of about 1000, came to halt
in front of the parochial residence,
and formed double line through
which the prelates and visiting clergy
proceeded to the church. At the head
of this procession marched two little
boys dressed in old Oriental dalmat-
les, carrying the professional cross
between them. They were followed
by little girls dressed in white with
sashes of national colors, streWing
flowers before the Most Reverend
Archbishop, who was accompanied by
Monsignor Contantine Kury1o, Pro-
thonotary Apostolic, pastor of the
Church, and about twenty priests from
Minneapolis and elsewhere.
At the cornerstone large plat
form, covered with carpet, had been
erected. On it stood a temporary
altar with large cross in the centre
and three lighted candles ON each
side. Over the altar fiOated the
American and Ruthenian flags and be
tween them was an artistic coat-of-
arms of the Holy Father.
When the procession ar clergy
reached the platform, tic corner.

CATHOLIC RUTHENEAN CELEBRATION

stone was blessed and placed in po-
sition by Mgr. Kurylo, according to
the Ruthenian Rite, choir of forty
voices chanting the responses in Ru-
thenian.
At the completion of the ceremony,
the Most Reverend Archbishop
preached sermon in which he dwelt
on the Universally of the Church,
comprising in it's fold the different
nationalities of the world, all of whom
were united under one supreme head,
the Pope of Rome. He was followed
by Mgr. Kurylo, who preached SER
mon in Ruthenian, after which the re-
ligious ceremony was brought to a
close.
Among those who occupied seats on
the platform was the Austro- Hun
garian Consul, Edgar L. G. Prochnik,
representing the Emperor, Francis
Joseph, the Catholic sovereign of the
Slavic people.
After the ceremony, a tasty ban
quet was served at the pastoral resi-
dence. At it's conclusion, the Most
Reverend Archbishop toasted the Aus
trian Emperor, Francis Joseph, the
Catholic ruler of the Ruthenians, and
of the other Slavic peoples who took
part in the days ceremony. He re
ferred to the Emperor's loyalty to the
Church and his vigor in upholding the
rights of his Catholic subjects. Then
Mr.. Prochnik toasted President Will
son and the great American nation,
after which Mgr. Kurylo honored the
Holy Father and the Most Reverend
Archbishop in the final toast.
Right Reverend Softer Ortynsky of
Philadelphia, Ruthenian Catholic Bish-
op for the United States, had prom
ised to attend the cornerstone laying,
but was prevented from doing SO on
account Of illness.
The Church Of st. Constantine is a
brick-veneered structure with seat
ing capacity of 500. Like all such
churches, it is built in the Oriental
style, with four cupolas surmounted
by crosses. The congregation num-
bers about one hundred families, and
there is splendid field for mission
ary work among the Ruthenians, some
OF whom have been prevailed upon to
join the Schismatic Greek Church.
The Ruthenians who worship In the
Church of St. Constantine come from
Galicia. There is another Greek
Catholic Church of the Ruthenian Rite
in Minneapolis, namely, the Church
of st. John the Baptist; but it's con-
gregation liz made up OF Slovacks who
come from Hungary and are minis
tered to by the Rev. Jazon K0vacs.
All these peoples belong to the Greek
Catholic Church and the holy sacri-
fice or the Mass IL celebrated accord

.FEDE RAT ION ECHOES
BALTIMORE CHOSEN FOR NEXT
MEETING-oFFIcERs ELECTED
MANY IMPORTANT SUBJECTS
DISCUSSED BY THE DELE
GATES.

On the closing day of the twelfth
annual convention of the American
Federation of Catholic Societies held
in Milwaukee last week, the follow
ing officers were elected for the en-
suing year: President, Charles A.
Denechaud, of New Orleans; Secre-
tary, Anthony Matre, of st. Louis;
Treasurer, F. w. Heckenkamp, Jr., of
Quincy, Ill.
Chicago made a strong claim for
the meeting-place of the convention
in 1914; but the Federation wished
to honor His Eminence Cardinal Glib
bons, and selected Baltimore for next
years convention.
During the convention, the women
delegates from the different Catholic
societies voted not to form a National
Federation of Catholic Women's So
cieties. The decision was surprise
to the other delegates, who had hoped
that the organization of such FEEDER
alton would be one of the distinct
features of the convention.
The Right Reverend Bishop Busch
of Lead described the conditions
which impeded the work of religion
among the miners in the Black Hills
district. Among the many topics dis
cussed at the convention were the
formation of Catholic Labor Union,
Layman's Retreat movements, Juve-
nile Court work, Home and Foreign
Missions, the religious care of pris-
oners, Sunday observance and the
value of an International Catholic
Federation.

IRISH MONK
WROTE TREATISE ON AsTRoNo-
MY AND GEOGRAPHY.

A remarkable monument of Irish
culture in medieval times has just
been published by the Royal Irish
Academy-the astronomical treatise of
the Irish monk Dicuil. 1t is edited for
the first time from single ninth Gen.
tury manuscript in library in the
North of France by Mr.. Mario Es-
posito, who has given an account of
its contents in the preface which ac-
companies his edition.
Little, according to the editor, is
known about Dicuil. He lived about
775-85O A. D., and composed his book
in France in 814-16 A. d., when he was
teaching in one of the Court schools
of the King of the Franks, Louis LIE
Debonnaire, to whom he has dedi-
Gated the work. The treatise is in.
teresting to historians of astronomy
and to students of medieval Latinity,
but, of course, from the scientific point
of view it does not teach us anything
A geographical work by the same
author is also extant, and has been
published in France and Germany.

IN CHARGE At MEXICO CITY
Mr.. o'sHAUGHNEssEY, .sEcRE-
TARY OF THE AMERICAN EN-
BAssY IN MEXICO CITY, Is WELL
KNOWN IN DIPLOMATIC CIR
Giles.

At the present time when all are in
terested in the outcome of the negotia-
tions between the United States and
Mexico, it is interesting to learn that
the man who is charged with the most
delicate role in the present crisis, is
Nelson O'Shaughnessey, Secretary of
the American Embassy at Mexico
City, and Charge d'Affaires until the
appointment of new ambassador.
Mr. O'Shaughnessey was born in
New York City on February IL, 1876,
and was educated at Georgetown Uni
versity and at Oxford University, from
which he graduated in 1894. He
studied International Law in London
and languages in different countries of
Europe. On March II, 1904, he was
appointed secretary of the American
Legation at Copenhagen, and one year
later third secretary of the Embassy
at Berlin. On April 6, 1907, he was
made second secretary of the Embassy
at Vienna, and in January, 1911, he
was transferred to the Embassy at
Mexico City, and was promoted to the
position of first secretary at the begin
ming of this year.
Secretary O'Shaughnessey is re
garded by the State Department as
well qualified to deal with provisional
President Huerta, and he is given
credit for persuading the Mexican ex
ecutive to modify his attitude towards
the Honorable John Lind, ex-Gov
ernor of Minnesota, the personal rep
resentative of President Wilson, who
is at present carrying on negotiations
with the Mexican government

MONASTERY OF LACCUM
WHICH WAS LOST TO THE
CHURCH AT THE "REFoRMA.
TIoN."

1t is well known fact that more
than one hundred years ago, at the
time of the so-called secularization of
Catholic monasteries their number
was greatly reduced in Germany. In
the northern part, however, many of
the once famous monasteries became
lost to the Catholic Church at the
time of the so-called Reformation
To the latter class belong the
monastery of Laccum, in Hanover,
which recently celebrated its 75Oth
anniversary at which Emperor Will
liam was present. It was formerly a
Cistercian monastery and exists in its
original form, SO far as the exterior
is concerned, to this very day. 1t
was founded by Coupt Willbrand OF
Hallermund in 1853 In the year
1890 it became sem nary for candi-
dates for the Protestant ministry, and
as such it is still in use to this very
day. The archives Of the former
monastery are still kept there, con-
tanning the chronicles of the former
monks. What may sound strange is
that to this day the Protestant rector
of the seminary has the title of an
abbot and uses the insignia of that
Office, viz, mitre and crozier. Parts
of the former monastery-the refec-
tory, chapter room and corridor
Ckreuzgang)-are still in the same
condition as they were 700 years ago.
Visits to these former Catholic
monasteries naturally leave sad req
objection In the mind OF a Catholic

"OLIvER TWIST, AZ THE IDEAL
Dickens Pictures With Goodwin as
Pagan to be Presented to an
-OcaIa Audience

The philadelphia Inquirer has the
following to say of the recent presen-
tation of this famous masterpiece in
the movies" with Nat c. Goodwin in
that city: Remarkably dramtic and
telling Is the motion picture play of
Dickens novel. "Oliver Twist which
was seen at the Lyric Theater last
evening with Nat c. Goodwin as the
sinister Pagan. The production is
noteworthy for it's completeness and
highly important incidents such as the
ma gisteriaI viciousness of Justice
Fang and the death of Agnes are film
ed with resultant clearness as TO plot.
The atmosphere of low brutality and
petty criminality is also admirably
conveyed, and the characters are, for
the most part, enacted picturesquely
and ia such a manner as to make them
stand out vividly. One trouble, how
ever, seems to be that there are not
sufficient inteFsSripts. or explanatory
notes, between the scenes. "Oliver
Twist" has a very complicated plot,
and there are points which do not get
across the footi ghts, so to speak. Mr..
Goodwin's impersonation of the fawn-
ing old vampire is a superb and con-
gruous piece OF acting; but others in
the case fall often into the common
error of talking too much and panto-
mining Tin the best and most modern
sense of the word) too little. The tech
nical requirements of the motion pic
ture art are generally observed. and
the photography is throughout beauti-
full and clear The lecture which pre-
cedes the play is interesting to Dick
ensonianS, but a trife too exhaustive
for the average spectator, it is feared.
