CARNEGIE PEACE FUND
INCOME FROM 100000 TO BE
USED BY THE CHURCHES FOR
PROMOTION OF PEAcE-THREE
CATHOLICS ON BOARD OF
THIRTY-NINE TRUSTEES.

Andrew Carnegie has set aside
100000 as a fund, the income of
which is to used by the churches of
America in an effort to bring about
universal peace.
With Board of Trustees consisting
of thirty-nine prelates, moderators,
rabbis, authors, publicists and peace
workers, the income from this fund is
to be utilized to further international
goodwill and to foster peace educa-
ton. Primarily the object Mr.. Carne-
gle has in mind is to unite the Teu-
tonic nations, Germany, Great Britain
and the United States, in solemn
agreement to submit all disputes to
arbitration. The other Powers will
join later, according to Mr.. Carnegie
The method will be to supply the
clergy of the United States and Europe
with all information of the progress of
peace, to secure sermons on inter
national peace in all churches, to ar
range conferences among the clergy Of
the nations, to arrange for friendly
visits between the different nations TO
bring the pressure of religion to bear
upon measures looking toward the sub
stitution of arbitration for war, and
to advance the cause in such other
ways as the trustees may think best
There are three Catholics among the
trustees, namely, Cardinal Gibbons, of
Baltimore, Archbishop Glennon, of St.
7 nI1ic To 1ch n re

ANCIENT GRAVEYARD
ONE AT DURRoW OVER 1900
YEARS oLD-coNTAINs SPLEEN
DID CELTIC CROSS.

The graveyard at Durrow, Kings
County, Ireland, which by order Of
the Local Government Board, is to be
closed from March l, is over fifteen
hundred years in existence, and con-
tains among other monuments splen-
didly preserved Celtic Cross, which
st. COLUMBIA is said to have brought,
either from Clonmacnoise or Derry.
When the movement for the closing of
the overcrowded graveyard was start
ed the people of Durrow became
alarmed lest they might lose the an
cient privilege of visiting the cross
and holy well on the pattern" day Of
Durrow on June 9, every year, and Of
also visiting the graves Of their
friends. 1t is satisfactory to know
that no interference with this right
is contemplated.

BISHOP BYRNE EXPLAINS
GIVES REASON FOR WARNING
ISSUED TO CATHOLICS OF HIS
DIOCESE ABOUT CERTAIN
DANCES.

In reply to an inquiry sent to him
by the New York Times Bishop
Byrne of Nashville, whose diocese
embraces the whole State of Tennes-
see, writes:
"You ask me concerning the an
nouncements from the pulpit of every
Catholic Church in Tennessee to the
effect that those who persist in in
dulging in dances known as the "tan-
co." the turkey trot," and others of
similar character, cannot be absolved
in the tribunal of the Sacrament of
Penance.
"The reason for this warning, while
it is clear enough to Catholics, may
not be so to others. It is principle
of Catholic morals, as related to the
Sacrament of penance, that no peni-
tent who is not sincerely contrite for
his sins, can be absolved.
Should priest attempt to absolve
such penitent, the absolution would
be worthless, since his action would
not be ratified by our Lord, who said
Receive We the Holy Ghost; whose
sins We shall forgive they are for
given, and whose sins We shall retain,
they are retained
81 had long been convinced that
these dances were working sad havoc
among young men and women, and
I had long felt that it was my duty
to speak out, but l had no reliable in
formation on which to base condem-
nation.
Fortunately, this was supplied by
a society of Catholic gentlemen in
Memphis, namely, the Knights of Col
umbus, who, in their corporate capac-
ity, published circular condemning
these dances. They further publicly
avowed their purpose to expel any
member who should attend any enter
tainment at which such dances we're
INDUCED in, or who, entering place
of amusement, should not at once
leave it on learning that these dances
were to be part of the program of the
evening.
"They further called upon Catholic
parents to ostracize and exclude from
their homes all young men and women
who engage in these dances and
warned them to shield their sons and
daughters from the Shiny touch of
such moral lepers They called them
Infamous dances, the spawn of the
red-light district, and the prolific
of purity and virtue recruits for the
bawdy house.
"These are strong words, used by
gentlemen who seemingly knew what
they were talking about, and they
amply justify me in admonishing
Catholics that they who do such things
are not of Christ, and cannot hope to
receive His pardon, peace, and bless
ing"

WHITE" list OF PLAYS.
BULLETIN OF CATHOLIC THEA
TIRE MOVEMENT OUTLINES PUR.
POSE OF THE WORK AND GIVES
PARTIAL LIST OF DECENT
PLAYS-ENDoRS BY CAR.
DlNAL FARLEY.

The Catholic theatre movement
launched in New York City has just
issued the first number of a "Bulle-
tim which is to be the exponent of
the cause. 1t gives an idea of how the
activities of various organizations is
to be crystalized by this movement,
and also tentative white list of
plays that is to be amplif1ed in the
near future
The object of the movement is to
discountenance and ultimately elm
mate the production of improper plays
such as are a menace to public moral
ity. Catholics in other cities are CO.
operating with the movement in New
York, and it is expected that nation
wide and concerted action in this re-
spect will soon be realized.
Great organizations, says the Bulle-
| tin, like the Catholic Central Verein,
the American Federation of Catholic
Societies, the Knights of Columbus,
and the Holy Name Society, represent
| ing thousands of Catholics throughout
the country, have not only placed
themselves upon record against bad
! plays, but have taken practical meas
ures to prevent Catholics from unwit-
tingly patronizing bad plays. The
| Importance of their work in fostering
| a healthy and fearless Catholic senti-
ment upon the vital burning question
| of theatrical amusements cannot be
overestimated. These societies have
| %Yih r1%S 70 he
mission of the Catholic theatre move
ment Indeed, their action might be
called an anticipation of that move
ment. 1t will be the duty and the
privilege of the Catholic theatre move
ment to cooperate with these power
full allies.
The white list of plays already
referred to is intended as guide for
theatre-goers and is designed to en-
courage the patronage Of proper plays.
From the records Of the stage in
New York for about two years back,
there could be compiled white" list
of plays, whether revivals or new pro-
auctions, plays which would not be
| considered in any reasonable sense
(not insisting upon counsels of perfec-
tion), as occupying debatable ground;
| plays which, in fact, would be gen.
orally agreed upon as clean and whole
some, simple and universal in their
appeal, and fit for theatre-goers of all
ages and of varied tastes. Merely as
an indication Of such list may be
submitted the following: "Bunty Pulls
the Strings, D'Israeli, Liberty Hall,
Little Women, Milestones, officer 666,
Peg O. My Heart, Pomander Walk,
Poor Little Rich Girl, Rebecca of Sun
nybrook Farm, The Governors Lady,
The Things That Count"
The Bulletin of the Catholic Thea
ire Movement contains letter from
Cardinal Farley endorsing the work
and commencing it to all who are in
terested in the publication of the
stage.

DIOCESE OF BISMARCK.

Bishop Wehrle on Dances: In an
swer to a circular letter from the New
York Times, asking the opinions of
Catholic Bishops on present-day
dances Right Reverend Bishop Wehrle
replied as follows:
In answer to your inquiry about the
dances which have become the fashion
lately, turkey trot, tango, ETC., wish
to say l am too old to judge them by
witnessing their exhibition. If they
are as lewd as they are reported to be,
every decent person ought to refrain
from them. The dances and enter
tainments which people prefer are al
ways a reflection of their moral
standard When they are anxious to
strut like turkeys they must have
something in their moral makeup
which is kindred to the pompous and
conceited turkey.
