A LOSS TO COUNTRY AND
CHURCH.

The untimely death Of Arch
duke Ferdinand at the hands OF
an assassin which robbed Austria
of the heir apparent to the throne
and plunged the Empire into
deepest mourning, has evoked ex-
pressions of sympathy for the be-
reaved nation from all quarters
Of the globe. The foul deed has
been repudiated by the Servian
people, to whom the assassin be-
longed, and condemned by all as
dastardly blow struck at the in
tegrity of the Austrian Empire.
1t is hard to tell what effect it
will have upon the political situa.
ton in Europe since it removed
from the scene of action the one
man who was capable of holding
together in at least a semblance
Of unity the warning nationalities
that go to make up the great Aus
tro-Hungarian Empire. 1t is ter
rible to contemplate the condition
of affairs which makes it possible
for misguided youth to assas-
sinate the virtual head of a great
nation under the mistaken idea
that he is avenging the fancied
wrongs inflicted on his country.
The murdered Archduke was
the idol of his people, a noble
leader of sterling character and
unusual executive ability who
promised to be one of the best rul
ers of the world. From the time
that he became heir apparent tc
the Austrian throne he sought tC
make himself worthy of the high
position to which he was called
His sole thought was for the soil
darity and betterment of the En-
pire, and he strove to prepare
himself to be a worthy successor
to Emperor Francis Joseph, the
grand old man of Europe, and tt
carry out the policy inaugurateC
by him for the consolidation O.
the Austrian Empire.
The death of Archduke Ferdi
nand is not merely loss to hi
country, it is loss to the Catho
lie Church, of which he was a de
voted member. He was always ;

CHR|sT's LIKENESS N SHR0UD
SCIENTIST AND ARTIST AGREE
ON QUESTION OF GARMENTS
AUTHENTICITY.

The display of the holy shroud at
Turin during Easter has again brought
up the question of it's authenticity.
Two men, one scientist and the other
an artist, have arrived at the conclu.
sion that the shroud possesses the
true likeness of Christ.
DR.. Paul Vignon, Frenchman, after
long investigation, declares that the
holy shroud bears picture of a man,
caused by vapors from the body act.
ing upon the stuff impregnated with
oils and aloes.
Sir Wyke Bayliss, president of the
Royal Institute of British Artists, is
convinced that the portrait of Christ
in the catacombs of San Callisto here
was made by a contemporary artist
that is one who had seen his subject
and as the faces of the shroud and
the catacombs are the same it might
be concluded that the holy shroud
really inclosed the body of Christ.
1t was taken from Cyprus to Cham
berry (then part of Italy, in 1852 and
has since been in Turin.
The Lancet, the British Medical
journal, said at the time that DR.. Wig.
non brought out his theory: "There
seems to be little room for doubt that
M. Vignon has established that the
outlines on the shroud are due to the
emanations of vapors. He certainly
seems to have proved that the ma
terial must have been the shroud of a
crucified person and one who under
went scourging and the other accom-
paniments of death, which by both
the Scriptures and tradition are ascrib
ed to the passion of Christ

THE LAYMEN's RETREAT.

The second annual retreat for
Catholic laymen closed at st. Paul
Seminary last Monday morning
and all who were privileged to
follow the spiritual exercises and
listen to the inspiring confer
ences of Father O'Hern, G. S. p,
the retreat master, went home
filled with a truer appreciation of
the necessity for greater zeal in
the service of God and their fell
lowmen. During the retreat spe-
cial emphasis was laid on the in
estimable value of the soul and all
were urged to greater efforts in
the attainment Of personal holt
ness of life and in the spread of
Catholic truth through the apos-
tolate of the laity.
The number of laymen who
took advantage of this opportuni-
ty to spend a few days in prayer
and meditation on the truths of
salvation was not as large as it
should have been; but what was
wanting in numbers was made up
in earnestness and devotion.
Many Of those who made the re-
treat last year were in attendance
and, in addition to those who
came from the Twin Cities, there
were many from widely-separat-
ed parts of Minnesota and the
neighboring states. They re
turned to their homes determined
to profit by the spiritual stock
taking to which they had devoted
themselves and to take advantage
Iof the next opportunity to renew
the experience. All were pleased
with the retreat and spoke in the
highest praise of the good done
by Father O'Hern who so ably
carried on the work begun last
year by Father Elliott of the
Apostolic Mission House.

Last week we announced the
appointment of His Eminence Car
dinal De Lai as Papal Legate to
the International Eucharistic Con
gress to be held this month at
Lourdes. Since the appointment
was made circumstances have
arisen which necessitate the
presence of Cardinal De Lai in
Rome during the time of the
Congress and, consequently, the
Holy Father has selected His
Eminence Cardinal Granite di Bel
monte as his personal representa-
tive on that occasion.

A FAILURE.

At the meeting of the Anti-Alcohol
Congress in Berlin, it was stated by
DR.. Delbruck of Bremen, the president
of the congress, that beer-drinking as
a means of combating alcoholism has
been clearly shown to be failure.
1t leads often to the use of distilled
liquors, but in itself it produces all
the evils of whiskey. "Of 149 patients
who were treated in a North German
private asylum for drunkards, forty
one had been alcoholized," said DR..
Delbruck, "by drinking spirits, thirty
by wine drinking and seventy-eight-
or more than half-by the excessive
consumption of beer. The belief that
delirium tremens was unknown among
beer drinkers was a mistake. It was
impossible to convey by statistics the
extent of the misery caused by what
he described as beer alcoholism -

THE IRISH NATIONAL
VOLUNTEERS.

Mr.. Birrell was right when he
said that the word Volunteer"
is charged with emotion for Irish
men. 1t recalls the time when
Protestants and Catholics stood
side by side as brothers in defence
of the common motherland. To-
day the old spirit is coming back
and coming fast. National volun-
teers and Ulster volunteers treat
each other with courtesy and with
respect. Neither body is going to

Boxer massacres, thus being verified
once more the well-known saying that
the blood of martyrs is the seed of
Christians.
The Peking Vicariate alone reckons
out of population of four millions, as
many as 1855 Catholics, somewhat
over 3 per cent of the population.
Last year no fewer than 36,740 mem
bers were added to the True Fold
Of the 73 priests in the Peking vi
cariate 20 are Europeans and Al Chi
nese; in most of the other missions
under Lazarist direction the proper
ton of native clergy is equally high.
The total number of priests in the
Chinese mission field is 2,148-of these
1,400 are Europeans and 748 Chinese.
The advantages of an indigenous
clergy laboring among their own peo-
pie are fully recognized, and no effort
is spared to encourage and foster Voca-
tions.
Recent returns show that in the
ecclesiastical seminary there are 536
students preparing for the priesthood
in the advanced classes, and 1858
learning Latin; in these numbers the
six Vicariates of Chill are represent
ed by 118 and 408 respectively, while
the Picking Vicariate alone counts as
many as 81 pursuing the highest
studies, and 131 getting up Latin.
The above figures, taken in connec-
ton with the sympathetic attitude of
the present ruling classes towards
Christianity, are symptomatic of the
noteworthy change that has of late
years come over China, and open out
very consoling prospect for the relig-
ious future of the country.

The Board of Directors met in Plain
Dealing Saturday afternoon at two
O'Clock, in the Office of the Secretary,
seven in number being present.
Some had suggested that we postpone
the fair for one year, but it soon devel-
oped that that could not be done, as there
is too strong sentiment in favor of the
fair.
It will be held on time. Are you get
ting ready?
There is more interest being manifest

expect the best live stock show this year

say you have nothing good. Bossier has
just as good stuff as any other parish in
North Louisiana. If our exhibit has not
as much quality as usual in agriculture
