Delaware found
lacking IN UNITY
Secretary of State Calls At
tentiOn to Lack of Co
operation
KENT AND SUSSEX
FOLK STAY AT HOME

DOVER. Del, May Secretary
of State Thomas w. Miller. has
analyzed conditions in Delaware in
a statement issued under his sigma
ture. He ascribes slow progress in
the State to diverging views and lack
of social interchange between resi-
dents of the three counties and the
citizens of Wilmington, the metro
polls of the State
"a frank statement of conditions
is that citizens of Wilmington and its
adjacent territory do not cooperate
I'm business or socially with the in
habitants of the other counties in the
State. It is all the more surprising
when one considers the smallness of
the area into which we are all
thrown. The main reason for this
is the distinct division between agri-
culture and manufacturing.
wilmington is situated on three
trunk line railroads, which give its
citizens direct access to four of our
largest Eastern cities. and after
boarding a train at any railroad sta
tion the Wilmingtonian is carried
outside the borders of this State
within a few minutes.
"The majority of Wilmingtonians
do not evince any interest in their
State outside of their city, and this
lack of social interchange cores
ponds to their economic and business
interests. which, when not in Will
mington, are elsewhere outside Of
the State.
"The increase of the population of
Wilmington in the last two decades
from 1890 has been caused by an
influx of people, not from Kent and
Sussex Counties. but from outside
of the State, so we have a harder
task ahead to instil into these people
Delaware ideas and traditions which
are worthy of praise and admiration.
1.-The county of Kent has not varied
in population more than 100 since
1890, while the county of Sussex has
increased considerably.
Sussex County is populated by a
large number of people who have
Maryland forbears, and, in fact, more
than half of this county used to be
under Lord Baltimore's original
grant and was ceded to PENIS heirs
in the early part of the 18th century.
These facts are not mentioned to
bring out the point that while both
Sussex and New Castle Counties have
increased in population, this increase
has not been composed of a majority
of people who would be likely to
understand Delaware, its needs and
the questions which might confront
us.
"The neglect as to social inter
change cannot be laid to Whining
toms door alone, because the writer
has found many, many instances
where the people of the various
towns of Sussex County had never
been to their State capital, Dover,
which is the centre of Kent County
and the centre of the State"

TRANSLATES LIFE Of CHRIST
FATHER CATALDO PREPARES
WORK IN INDIAN LANGUAGE
A DISTINGUISHED MISSIONARY
AND LINGUIST.

Rev. Joseph Mary Cataldo, of Pen
dleton, Oregon, who celebrated his
seventy-seventh birthday on March II,
has just completed the translation of
"The Life of Jesus Christ, Our Lord"
from English into the Nez Perez In
dian language. Father Cataldo is a
ripe scholar Of extraordinary attain
ments, and a wonderful linguist, rank
ing among the finest masters of Indian
dialects in this country. He has made
a number of religious and other trans
lations into various Indian tongues,
but this last work for the Nez Perces
is considered by many to be his most
difficult and valuable contribution.
Father Cataldo was born March II,
1887, in Sicily. He has achieved note
as great missionary, having estab-
lished a number of missions in the
Northwest in pioneer times and, as
the last soldier in the small army of
missionaries who braved death and
hardship in the early days of the
Northwest, holds warm place in the
hearts of the people of Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho and California.

AFRICAN MISSIONARY DEAD
MGR. PELLET, SUPERIOR GEN.
ERAL OF AFRICAN MISSIONS
SINCE 1907, BURIED AT LYONS
80 HOUSES AND 500 MISSION
ARIES IN THE COMMUNITY.

Right Reverend Mgr Pellet, the
Superior General of the African Mis-
sions, has just died at Lyons He
was born in 1859, ordained in 1888,
and, after working at Benin, Western
Africa, was serving as superior of the
school at Grenoble, when he returned
to Benin in 1895 as Vicar Apostolic
He was recalled and elected Superior
General of African Missions in 1907
These missionaries are secular
priests and were founded by Mgr. de
Bresilliac in 1856 at Lyons, at the in
vitation of the Congregation of Propa-
ganda. The founder and all his CO.
operators died of fever in Sierra
Leone, leaving only one priest and six
seminarists to carry on the work. Yet
today Mgr. Pellet leaves behind 80
establishments and some 500 mission
airy priests. Lyons gave him worthy
obsequies. Immense crowds filled the
streets, along which the funeral
cortege passed to the Cathedral of ST.
Johns. The Provincial of the African
missionaries of Holland and Ireland,
and the Provincial General from Rome
were present in the sanctuary. The
Archbishop of Lyons presided, and
the Requiem Mass was celebrated by
the Bishop of Dion.

EASTER EG GS
WHAT THEY SYMBOLIZE IN VARI-
Gus COUNTRIES-BLES
IN ITALY.

There are many superstitions in con-
nection with Easter, and each country
has custom of celebrating it peculiar
to itself; but, while each varies, they
all unite to observe the spirit of
springtime, and all Christians rejoice
that the Lord of life forever won vic
tory over death. Among the many
quaint superstitions is the old Aryan
one which typifies the return of the
sun of springtime by a golden egg
eggs being distributed at the early
equinox by priests to strengthen the
hopes of the people that the bleak, cold
days of winter might soon cease and
a brighter time ensue.
The Persians believed that the
earth was Matched from an immense
egg on Easter morning. The Aryans
also believed the sun to be a large
golden egg which was constantly roll
ing nearer to the earth.
With the Jews, says the Delineator,
the egg became a type of their rescue
from the land of bondage, and in their
feast of the Passover eggs occupied a
conspicuous place in the services. 1t
was their connection with the latter
that finally caused them to be used by
Christians the world over in celebrat-
ing Easter-the egg of resurrection
into a new life-bringing a message of
life from death, as it were.
The Tyrolese Easter eggs are SINH
lar to our valentines, for, besides be-
ing most beautifully tinted, they have
in unique lettering notices represent
ing appropriate wishes for the recipi-
ents.
The priests of Italy bless all eggs
brought to the service on Easter morn
ing and each person carries his back
home, where they are placed on
kind of altar arranged for the pur-
pose, surrounded by lighted candles,
and often flowers. Then the members
of the family and any guests abiding
with them eat these holy eggs as
safeguard against disease and danger.
They are hard boiled before they are
taken to the church.

dependents are kept in entirely sep
arate wings of the building; that
seriously diseased cases are not &C
cepted, and that there are separate
rooms for treatment of slightly
diseased, durable cases; that the sani-
tary arrangements throughout are
exceptionally good; that the girls have
their choice of work in the laundry or
of sewing and that the laundry girls
work only six and half hours day.
"The schoolrooms are as well
equipped as any in the city; there are
lessons in typewriting for those who
wish them and music lessons for
those who show talent; amusement
and recreation are ample, and there
is plenty of time to enjoy them.
"'There appears to be no founda-
ton whatever for the charges said
Mrs. Harker Judge Frater told me
he had personally inspected the House
of the Good Shepherd and considered
it a model
"'I looked at the hands of the chill
dren, said Mrs. w. A. Burleigh, a
member of the committee who accom-
panied Mrs. Harker on the visit, to
see if there was any truth in the
statement that they were overworked
I never saw better kept hands, but the
hands of the Sisters were toll worn
with swollen knuckles.'"

EASTER IN HISTORY
A MOVABLE FEAST-THE PAS
cHAL CONTROVERSY - HOW
THE DATE is FIXED-CELE-
DRAFTED ON THE SAME DAY
EVERYWHERE.

Easter is the greatest festival of the
Christian church. In primitive times it
was usual for Christians to salute one
another on the morning of this day
by exclaiming: Christ is risen," to
which the saluted person replied "He
is risen indeed" or And hath ap-
peared unto Simon"-a custom re-
tanned in the Greek church.
The common name of this festival
in the East was the paschal feast, be-
cause kept at the same time as the
Jewish passover, and in some meas
ure succeeding to it. In the sixth of
the Ancyran canons it is called the
Great Day."
The term Easter" is derived from
'Eastre," a Saxon diety, whose feast
was celebrated every year in the
spring, the name being retained when
the character of the feast was
changed. Easter is in name, as we'll
as in reality, the feast of the resurrec-
ton.
Although there has never been any
difference of opinion in the Chris
tan church as to why Easter is kept,
there has been a good deal as to when
it ought to be kept. 1t is one of the
movable feasts-that is, it is not fixed
to one particular day, like Christmas
day. Easter moves backward and for
ward, according as the full moon next
after the vernal equinox falls nearer
or farther from the equinox. The ac-
copied rule for ascertaining the day
upon which Easter falls is as follows
Easter day is always the first Sunday
after the full moon which happens
upon or next after the 21st day of
March, and If the full moon happens
upon Sunday, Easter day is the Sum
day after.
The paschal controversy, which for
a time divided Christendom, grew out
OF diversity Of custom. The churches

INSCRIPTION ON THE CROSS
TRACED IN RED LETTERS ON A
WHITE GROUND.

The inscription, Jesus of Nazareth,
King of the Jews" traced, according
to custom, in red letters on a white
ground, was fastened to a piece of
board, which ST. Helena found near
the True Cross She sent it to Rome
to be placed, with other relics of the
Passion, in the Church of the Holy
Cross in Jerusalem, which, together
with the Holy Chapel, was purposely
built for them. In the year 1892,
when the leaden case was opened, the
two last letters of Judaeorum, with
the portion of the board on which they
were inscribed, were found to have
fallen to dust. This left the board
about fourteen inches long. In 1864
the precious relic was again examined,
and found to be still further worn
away at the same end. In 1648 the
word Jesus" had disappeared.
Finally, in 1928, when another exam
ination was made, further decay was
reported. Of the Hebraic inscription,
which surmounted the other two,
there remained not enough of the let
tiers to render them decipherable. Of
the Greek inscription, which held the
middle place, there remained the
words "Nezoraios," in the third line
was "Nazarenus," and the two first
letters of the word Rex"
A remarkable feature of the Greek
and Latin inscriptions is that they
were written from right to left. This
as everyone knows, is the usual way
of writing Hebrew, and it is supposed
that the same method was adopted
with the Greek and Latin, in order to
have the words correspond.

out the country against the repeal, a
mob in Glasgow going up to the house
where Mass was being said, attacking
the people as they came out, sacking
and destroying the place. Afterwards
Richard Begnal, who introduced the
manufacture of Staffordshire pottery
into Glasgow, offered room in his
house where the Catholics might hear
Mass. However, when the priest
came to say Mass the mob again got
to hear of it, and burned the house to
the ground.
These facts were brought out in a
lecture recently delivered in Glasgow
by the Rev. John McIlvaine, of ST.
Andrews Cathedral, who furthermore
said:
The next place where Catholics had
chapel was in Blackstock's Land in
the Saltmarket. They rented it from
Mr. Wilson, the town clerk at the
time. There they remained until 1892,
when, in order to entice the High
landers to settle in Glasgow, they
gave guarantee that they should
have chapel and priest for them
selves. They rented the tennis court
in Mitchell Street and agreed to pay
part of the rent and part of the
priests stipend. Father Alexander
Mcdonnell was the first priest to re-
side in Glasgow after the Reformation
He left Glasgow in 1895, going to Can
ada as chaplain of a Highland regi-
ment known as the Glengarry's Fenci-
bles. He afterwards became Bishop of
Kingston, in Upper Canada. On his
departure Father John Farquharson
was appointed to the mission He
came in the year 1895, and in Mitchell
Lane the first chapel in Glasgow after
the Reformation was built
The Irish immigration had then set
in, and the Catholics were increasing
yearly. Father Farquharson in 1905
became rector of the Scottish College
in Paris, and Father Andrew Scott
succeeded him in Glasgow. He soon
realized that with the increase of the
Catholic population the Mitchell Lane
Chapel, built to accommodate six hun
dred, was far too small for the needs
of the people. He therefore conceived
the idea of building st. Andrews
Cathedral. The foundation stone was
laid in June, 1914, and the church was
opened for divine service on the Sun
day before Christmas, 1916. 1t was
built to accommodate $500, and cost
$4,000. Father Scott labored in the
city until 1884, when he went to
Greenock, leaving Glasgow in charge
of Father Murdoch, who had been ap-
pointed his coadjutor.

MEX|CANs WIN SCHOOL FIGHT
JUDGE ORDERS PUBLIC SCHOOL
BOARD TO ADMIT CHILDREN.

The Mexican citizens of Alamosa,
Cal, who waged a court fight to COM
pei the public school board there to
quit segregating their children in one
building, have won their battle In
announcing his decision, the judge
gave the board until April 6 to re-
ceive the children into the schools
nearest their home. An appeal will
be taken by the anti-Mexicans. This
is the first time in the history of
America that an attempt was made to
segregate Mexican children. The Ala
mosa board declared it was done be-
cause the children could not speak
English, but the Mexicans held it was
because OF racial reasons.

HOUSE OF GOOD SHEPHERD
PRAISED BY SEATTLE CLUB
WOMEN AFTER INVESTIGA-
TON OF INSTITUTION.

The House of the Good Shepherd in
this city, says the Northwest Church
Progress, of Seattle, Washington, has
been favorite target for calumny and
Misrepresentation by malignant bigots
almost since its foundation, more than
twenty years ago. No charge was too
wildly improbable to be made against
the devoted women who give their
whole lives to the service of Christ's
helpless little ones and to uplifting
the unfortunate of their own sex, by
class of persons who find the in
spiration and suggestion for their vile
ISLANDERS in their own foul minds Re
Gently those charges were resurrected,
embellished and again sent on their
lying way by a member of the Seattle
Federation of Women's Clubs, with
the result that the question was taken
up by the Federation and a committee
appointed to investigate the actual
situation at the House of the Good
Shepherd and report their findings
at the next meeting of the Federation.
Following is the report of the result:
Persistent charges that the House
of the Good Shepherd has violated the
eight-hour law in its laundry and that
diseased girls have been allowed to
mingle with others, were yesterday
emphatically denied by the report of
the Juvenile Court committee of the
Seattle Federation of Women's Clubs,
which has been conducting a personal
investigation of conditions in the
institution.
MRS. M. B. Harker, chairman of
the committee, reported that condi-
tons in the institution are admirable

is condemned unless he is guilty. God
gives each one free will and gives
him all-suff1cient grace to work out
his salvation if he wishes to take ad-

knows already that an individual will
abuse his freedom and choose the
worse instead of the better part is
not the cause of his condemnation.
