WORLDS FINEST ORGAN
BOUGHT BY AN AMERICAN COL.
LEcToR FOR 100000.

What is described as the worlds
finest organ, an instrument many cen
turtles old, together with some remark
able specimens of carved woodwork
from a room of house in Chester,
England, have been bought by an
American dealer for a wealthy col
lector. The price of the organ is said
to be 100000.
The woodwork which is now cross
ing the Atlantic, came from one of the
houses in "the Rows" The room it
adorned, was designed by Sir Christie
pher Wren at the request of the NUM-
cipality for the city's mayor
The carvings are extraordinary.
Their grace and richness are said to
surpass even those of the great show
rooms at Hampton Court
The organ was found in an ancient
chateau in the Ardennes region of
France, where it had been more than
200 years.

A VILLAIN0Us FORGERY
ETCHING BY FAMOUS ARTIST
GIVEN ANTI-CATHOLIC INTER
PROBATION IN SoClALISTIC
SHEET.

An instance of the absurd lengths
to which anti-Catholic sheets will go
in the present day campaign of SIAN
der and utilization against the Church
and their absolute unscrupulousness
when endeavoring to substantiate
some of their false charges is well
illustrated in the August issue of The
Melting Pot, a Socialistic organ, which
unlike The Menace, boldly announces
it's connections and the source of it's
origin, and which blasphemously
attacks all belief in God and in re-
vealed religion.
Accompanying an article filed with
misstatements, is an illustration en-
titled Execution of Protestants in the
Netherlands" representing two armies,
or divisions of the same army, drawn
up on opposite sides of great tree,
from whose branches the dead or
dying bodies of some twenty-one men
are hanging, while on ladder placed
against the tree others are mounting
to their execution. In group below
the tree, in another to the right of
the picture, and on the ladder of exc
cution, monks with crucifxes in their
hands are earnestly exhorting those
about to die and granting final abso-
luton.
AS a matter of fact, the label which
has been placed upon this picture in
the Melting Pot is absolutely false
and is a clumsy effort to mislead
those who would be unable to verify
the title by comparison with that of
the original, from which this picture
was taken. 1t is not portrayal of
the execution of Protestants at all,
but is one of a series of etchings
on 1.-THE Miseries and Sufferings Of
War;" produced by Jacques Callot
(1592-1635), a French artist, in two
series in -33, and represents the
punishment by regular troops, of
marauders and guerilla warriors, cap
tured while pillaging the country and
sentenced to death by court-martial,
during the Thirty Years War in Ger
many. The scene is not laid in the
Netherlands as the supposed title indi-
Gates, but in the German Empire of
that time
This historical forgery is all the
holder for the fact that Cabot was an
artist of consequence, a man whose
works. for the technical process en-
ployed. are "a landmark in the history
of etching" and that this series on
"The Miseries of War" is among the
greatest of his efforts The man who,
in order to bolster his contentious,

Which is the greatest wrong-for a
Catholic to marry second cousin, or
a person of different religion or of
no religion at all?
The general law of the Church for
bids Catholics to marry persons re-
lated to them within the fourth de-
gree of kindred, or persons of diff
ferent religion or of no religion at
ALL In certain cases, however, she
permits such marriages and grants a
dispensation from the existing i'm
pediments in order that the marriage
may take place with her approval.
Under such circumstances the Cath
Ollie party is guilty of no moral wrong.
OF course, such marriages are not en-
couraged because of the consequences
to the physical or moral well-being
of the family which they sometimes
entail.

PSALM xxx.
ExALTABo TIE, Domino.
David Praises God for His Deliver
ance, and His Merciful Dealings
With Him.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Helen Hughes HieIscher.)

l will extol Thy name, Oh Lord,
For Thou against the foe did shield
me;
And when l raised my voice to Thee,
In mercy Thou hast heard and healed
me.
Thou didst bring forth my soul from
death,
From those who tread perdition's
mazes;
Sing to the Lord We holy ones,
His memory bless, and chant His
praises.
His anger lasteth but day,
His favor is life's best adjoining;
Grief endureth for night,
But joy comes in the morning.
In my abundance l was proud,
And boosted naught on earth could
move me;
He built me as mountain strong,
Then turned away His face to prove
me.
What profit, then, was in my strength,
When death unto the pit did press
me;
In hell who shall declare the truth?
Or shall my senseless dust confess
Thee?
The Lord has come unto my aid,
And into joy is turned my sadness;
My sackcloth He has cast away,
And hath encompassed me with glad
ness.
That in strength might sing to Him,
And may my tongue be silent never;
oh, let me lift my voice to Thee,
In praises of Thy name forever

MONUMENT TO BALBOA
SPAIN WILL ERECT A MEMORIAL
IN PANAMA-KING ALFONSO
HEADS POPULAR sUBscRIP-
TON.

The four hundredth anniversary of
the discovery of the Pacific Ocean by
Vasco Nunez de Balboa, fell on Sep
TENDER %, and in commemoration of
the event, Spain proposes to
erect colossal statue of Balboa at
the entrance to the Panama Canal at
the Atlantic side.
She will not permit strangers to
raise monument to her distinguished
son who discovered the Pacific Ocean
four hundred years ago. King Alfonso
has contributed $4,000 and the bal
ance necessary to erect a fitting monu-
ment in bronze will be met by popu-
lar subscription.
The monument will be erected in
Panama. It was on the twenty-fifth
of September, 1913, that Balboa, hav-
ing crossed the isthmus, came in view
of the calm, beautiful ocean which he
named South Sea; Magellan later
changed the title to Pacific. Before
even calling his companions in dis
covery to join him, the pious Spaniard
fell upon his knees and offered adora-
ton and gratitude to the Creator of
land and sea.
Five days later he reached the
water and took possession of it in the
name of his sovereigns. 1t was the
feast of St. Michael and the reverent
Catholic named the arm Of the sea
which he had reached, Gulf of st.
Michael. The entire country there
about speaks of Catholicity: one OF
the towns on the isthmian coast is
called Name Of God.
But Balboa's triumph was to occa-

FIRST EVANGELIST OF AMERICA
FATHER BoYL, A SPANISH
PRIEST, CAME TO AMERICA
WITH COLUMBUS ON HIS SEC
oND VOYAGE.

The approach of Discovery Day"
October 12th-makes interesting
the question concerning the identity
of the first missionary, that came to
these shores with Columbus, writes
r. C. Cleaner, in the Catholic Column
bian. Father Thurston, the careful
Jesuit writer, in late number of "The
Month";" enters very infinitely into
the historical aspect of him whom he
calls ''The First Evangelist of Amer
ica," Friar Boyl, who came to these
shores with Columbus on his second
voyage. Father Thurston Identifies
him as friend of st. Francis de
Paul, founder of 1.-THE Minims," so
called because they we're the least
of the monastic orders, and who lived
to be 81 years of age.
F'riar Bernard Boyl seems to have
been born in Spain and was commits
stoned by Bull of Pope Alexander VI,
June 18th, 1893, and also by letters
of Ferdinand and Isabella, to take
charge of the missions in the newly
discovered lands. The facts of
substantial character are rather few
in regard to his work; however, it is
recorded that he celebrated Solemn
Mass in hastily built church, on June
9Th, 1894, at point in the new land,
called Isabella. 1t is rather curious
to note that though evidently a Celtic
name, 1t is variously spelled, Boyl,
Buyl, and Boil; the latter spelling is
used by Father De Roo in his monu-
mental work, History of America
Before Columbus DR.. Bande1ier, a
member OF the Hispanic Society of
America, who furnished the article
on Columbus for the fourth volume
of the Catholic Encyclopedia, spells
the name Bull, and states that he
was a Benedictine monk Father

CONDEMNED ON ALL SIDES
SECULAR PUBLICATIONS AND
PROTESTANT MINISTER'S SAY
THAT THE "MENACE" AND
SIMILAR PUBLICATIONS ARE A
MENACE TO PUBLIC MORALITY
AND PEACE.

Evidence is not wanting that the
secular press and the non-Catholic
press and pulpit are awake to the fact
that '"The Menace" and other publ
cations of like character are indeed a
menace, not to the Catholic Church,
but to public morality and public
peace. The leading none Catholic de-
nominational organs of the country
have repudiated the filthy Aurora
publication, and many secular jour-
nails have denounced it. In the cat
lantic City Daily Press" of September
20 appeared the following editorial:
"The Menace" a Menace.
1t is interesting to note that Bishop
McFaul and other leading Catholics of
New Jersey at last have taken steps
to punish the publishers of "The Men
ace" a publication which is all that
it's name implies and which has been
vilifying Church as an insane man
might do for months and years
From the standpoint of Catholicism,
Bishop McFaul and other Catholics
would not be justified in recognizing
this absurd abortion of a free press
and honoring it with their serious at
tention. The Catholic Church can be
affected in no way by what THE Men
ace" says. If nothing were at stake
but the Church which it libelously and
foolishly attacks, "The Menace" might
go on being published forever. 1t would
do no harm among thinking, intelli-
gent, self-respecting people, and very
little among unthinking and ignorant
people, for although unthinking and
ignorant, they have hearts that under
stand. They know that every church
is a good church. They know the
meaning of religious freedom.
But "The Menace is a menace, not
to Catholicism or to any mode of wor-
ship, but to free press. 1t represents
the abuse of the constitutional guar
antee of free speech and an untram.
meled and uncensored press. To abuse
thing is to kill it-finally. There
fore, it is the duty of every American
citizen-C Catholic or n-Catholic-
take hand in Furnishing and sup.
pressing a publication which goes to
the absurd extremes of blackguarding
and "blatherskiting' and thereby
strikes at the very vitals of a free
press.

THE DISTRICT JUDGE.

Look at it as he will Congressman Donovan cannot understand why action is not taken towards the filling of the vacancy on the district court bench caused by the death of Judge Platt. 1t is of course disconcerting to fthe politicians who are at work for their different candidates but it is also an inconvenience for the entire district concerning the business which comes before such a court
 The failure to make the appoint ment ig due to ithe lack of harmony among the congressman of Connect icut- The five men. all democrats, are favoring two or more candidates. This divided house is thus one cause for the delay and in the meantime the business of the court is impeded, be- cause of a political scrap, over an ap- pointment which should be made upon a basis of qualifications and merit
 This fact unQuestionably has much influence with the administration and apparently more influence than our representatives. The plucking of plums may be justifabIe but district judge ship should receive different Qonsid- eration than appointments to minor offices, for judges should be determined by recognized fitness for the bench rather than by partisan activity, and the payment of political debts The deadlock is embarrassing and may re- suit in the selection of a judge not advanced by the congressman, in jus tice to the position, a step which should be taken when men of the proper call iber are not recommended

Though the claim may be advanced in support of the course taken in ap- pointing new ministers from this country. and the creation of vacancies for the purpose of filling them, that such instances simply mark the selec- ton of those men that the country's representatives may be in closer sym pathy with the administration. it does not cause the president to stand olt prominently in behalf of the merit sys- tenn to which he is supposed to have been committed.
 By application of the system which recognizes training as being of i'm mense value to the administration Of any government position there is no more important line in which it can be involved or in which it was supposed to be continued, than in the class of men who are representing this coun try abroad. After years of training with the understanding that efficiency rather than politics would govern their position it can hardly be maintained, with any degree of force that the plac- ing of new and inexperienced men in the post of minister to other countries can result in a better handling of the duties than by the retention of the scr vices of those who have worked their way up to such posts through many years of service.

PUNCH WORK.

The directions for making punch embroidery are as follows Fasten the thread on the under side of the ma terial and bring 1t to the right side through the first dot of the second row. Put the needle in the dot just above. which is the. first dot of the first row, and bring 1t out at the first dot of the second row; now put the needle in the first dot of the first row again and carry the needle across in 8 diagonal manner to the second dot of the second row.
 Insert the needle in the dot just above which would be the second dot of the first row, and bring it out at the second dot of the second row; put the needle in the dot just above again and bring 1t out at the third dot of the second row.
 Proceed in this manner down the two rows of dots. The second row of work is done over the second and third row of dots.
 The work should be entirely com pleted in one direction, then the work should be turned and the stitches taken at right angles to those already worked, and in exactly the same manner.
 Two stitches are used in the work, one straight and one slant stitch: the straight stitch ties the threads of the fabric together and the diagonal stitch brings the needle intos position for the next stitch.
 Use punch needle and draw the stitches up tightly if you want to pro- duce an open lacy effect.
 Practice on a piece of old loosely woven material until you have mas tered the stitch and if you follow the directions exactly as given above you will have no difficulty in learning to do punch embroidery.

ANOTHER |. W. w. FAILURE,

The gradual ending of the strike among the silk workers of Paterson. in which the l. w, W. have for months been leading the employees has been characterized by less attention than it's start. It's end was marked by the de- sertion of the men and women leaders who have been enriching themselves at the expense of the workers, whose condition has grown steadily worse. The public lost interest and sympathy because of the leadership which was imposed and followed Examples of the work of the l. w. w. leaders should have warned the strikers against their guidance, but it was to a class of peo- pie who must now realize they were misled by the agitators.
 Concerning the ending with it's hun dreds of thousands of dollars loss t) the workers the New York Post says: ''The whole outcry, of course, has been directed against the organizers and not the rank and file. But the impressive fact is that the principle recognized as at issue so dignihed the mauufac- turers' position that the only possible ending of the strike was total failure All that is now lacking to justify the opinion that the workers shared AeW ol theH ltdoeTs views, IS re . pudiation by them of Elizabeth Cur ley Hymns statement that if the strikers have gone back to work it is not to make marketable silk"
 The lesson has already been a se- were one and the return with the idea of practicing sabotage is against their own welfare. Such would be the most detrimental to their interest and the quicker it can be demonstrated to tho contrary the better for them
