Full of suspicious omens for the fu-
ture of the Catholic Faith in territor-
les long dominated by Moslem rule
is the remarkable coincidence that at
the very moment when the Osmanli
or Ottoman Empire is fast crumbling
into ruins, preparations are being
pushed on for the next Eucharistic
Congress, whereof Malta will be the
scene.
Malta, says the Liverpool Catholic
Times, was the ultimate refuge of
the knightly champions of Christen-
dom when the Turkish hosts were
threatening to overrun all Europe.
The Maltese capital was actually
founded three hundred and fifty years
ago as the Mediterranean bulwark of
Christianity against the westward adj
vance of Islam.
A Romantic History.
Malta, perhaps the most Catholic
jewel, even Ireland hardly excepted
in King Georges crown, has a roman
tic history that is closely linked with
the rise of the Turks to sovereignty
in Europe, and in it's architectural
magnif1cence the stately cenventual
Church of st. John at Valetta surely
rivals the far-framed Byzantine Cathe-
dral of Hagia Sophia in Constants
nople, where Mohammedan insignia
have defiled and obliterated the sacred
symbols of the Christian creed. For
Catholics all the world over, there
fore, Malta, and it's religious history
have noble significance, especially at
this juncture in the affairs of nations.
In ancient days, the Maltese Is
lands, comprising Malta, Coco and
Comino, were colonized by the Phoe
nicians, and at subsequent periods
were held in turn by Greeks and Car
thaginians. Towards the end of the
fourth century of the Christian era
Malta became a possession of the
Byzantine Emperors, whose capital
was Constantinople, or new Rome
Saracens and Normans next held the
islands, which at last came under
Spanish sovereignty, until 1880, when
the Emperor Charles v. granted Malta
to the famous Order of TIE knights
of st. John on their being driven from
Rhodes by Turkish invaders
Knights of Saint John.
The knights of this great military
Order had constituted themselves the
valiant protectors of Crusaders and
pilgrims and had fought the advanc.
ing Turks with ceaseless energy and
courage. In Malta they held sover.
eign power and barriered with their
dauntless swords all western Christen
dom against Mohammedan onslaughts
Then in 1865 came that glorious
chapter in Maltese history when Jehan
Perisot de la valette, Grand Master
of the Order of ST. John, resisted a
four months siege by the Turkish
forces of the Sultan Suleiman the
Second The successful issue of that
great struggle went far towards keep
ing Mohammedan aggression in Eu
rope well in check. The Order was al
the height of its renown, and its
ranks were recruited from the flower
of Europe's nobility.
In the midst of his triumph La
sValette determined to rebuild the
capital of his island kingdom, to con
stitute great Christian fortress, and
to build splendid Church. Thus did
the city still called VaIette arise on
the long narrow ridge of the Maltese
coast.
Jehan de la Valete himself lived

only long enough to see the laying Of
the foundation stones.
st. Johns Cathedral,
st. Johns Cathedral is a stately
edifice that has not quite it's like any
where in the world. Half castle,
half church, as it has well been
termed, its gorgeous interior bellies
the massive and meagre exterior It's
naive is barrel vault in shape, and
is 1877 feet long, by so feet wide.
-Four hundred tombstones of dead and
gone knights glitter with heraldic
splendors emblazoned in marbles and
enamels. The superb ceiling is dec
Grated with painted panels illustrative
of the history of ST. John the Baptist
encircled by figures of saints and mar
tyrs. The Order was at one time
divided into ''langues" or national
groups, to each of which was assigned
separate chapel in the conventual
Church.
The oratory Chapel.
The Oratory Chapel, once used as a
place of instruction for the novices,
because it was the shrine of the
knights long-cherished treasure-the
hand of ST. John, holy relic pre-
sented by the Sultan Bjarit to Grand
Master D'Abusson The relic was
brought from Rhodes and was en-
closed in solid gold monstrance
made in the shape of gauntlet.
In the front of this lay a gold ring
set with a cleaning diamond of great
value. When in 1853, Napoleon Bona
parte gained possession of Malta, by
treachery, as it was believed, the
setting of this famous relic aroused
the Little CorporaPs cupidity.
He tried the ring on his fat little
fingers, sent the monstrance aboard
ship for conveyance to France, and
left the relic itself to the trembling
care of Grand Master Hompesch, the
last chieftain of the Order Malta was
destined to know.
| Napoleons advent led to the dis
persal of the Order in it's old-time
form, and the Grand Master carried
the relic of st. John to st. Peters
burg, where, under the Emperor Paul
an attempt was made, in vain, to re
construct the historic knighthood.
Since 1914 Malta has belonged to
Great Britain.

POLICE DOUBT THAT
WIGGINS WAS HERE

Despite the assertion Of John Wat

saloon at Taylor and Church streets
yesterday that Homer c. Virgins and
Charles Taylor, who escaped from
the Eastern Penitentiary in Philadel-
phia, were in that saloon about $50
O'Clock Thursday evening, the police
do not believe either of the fugitives
was here.
Chief Of Police Black said today
that Virgins must know that il would
be a foolish thing for him to come TO
Wilmington. where all the members
of the Police Department know him,
and that he could be here but a
short time before being apprehended.
The fugitives continue to keep
themselves out of the way OF the
police and the belief Of the Philadel-
phia authorities is that both men are
hiding until the excitement Of their
escape passes. The police there are
confident that it is only a matter of
short time before the men are cap
tured
