Janlculum or other places. Simultane-
ously Father CROSSE Gondi, $. j., con-
tributes an article relating all the dis
coyeries of recent years in the Church
OF st. Sebastian on the Appian Way,
which go to prove even more strongly
than ever the later removal of the
bodies of the Princes of the Apostles

them for fear of proclamation. He holds
out hopes of still further and more
interesting discoveries there when It
is possible to complete the excava-
tons now in progress.

Bishop Vaughan Resigns Rectorship.
The Right Reverend Bishop Vaughan
has, for reasons of health, resigned
the position of Rector of st. Bede's
College, Manchester, Eng, which he
has held since 1912, when he sue
ceeded Mgr Poock, who was appoint
ed Rector of st. Augustin's, Chorlton-

a Consistory.

pliment to st. Teresa's administrative
ability that she has been chosen as
the patroness of all the military ad,
ministration-the Intendencia, as it is
cal1ed-of Spain. The royal decree re-
lating to this determination of the mill
