ARCHBISHOP HANNA.

Congratulations to the new
Archbishop of San Francisco, the
Most Reverend Edward j. Hanna
May success and length Of days
be his in the exalted position to
which he has been elevated by the
Sovereign Pontiff!
The choice of the Holy See could
not have fallen on one better quail
fled to succeed the late Iamented
Archbishop Riordan to whose In
telligent activity, administrative
ability and untiring energy is due
the position of prominence in the
Catholic world which the Arch
diocese of San Francisco occupies.
He it was who deepened and am
pIified the foundations laid by the
prelates- who preceded him and
who erected thereon a more
stately and magnificent super
structure of religion than they had
dared to dream of.
Archbishop Hanna spent two
years in intimate relationship
with Archbishop Riordan, the con-
fidant of his hopes and ambitions
for the Church in California.
What more natural, therefore,

DE R0ssT's LETTERS

Probably for years the Vatican Ii.
brary has received no more accepta-
Bile gift than that just presented to 1t
in the shape of the rich collection Of
documents, letters, and proof-sheets of
the Great Christian archaeologist,
Giovanni Battista De Rossi, and the
diplomas conferred upon him by the
scientific institutes Of Europe.
De Rossi's widow, daughter and SON
in-law have generously donated the
precious collection to those who most
merit ft-name1y, the savants Of the
Vatican Palace under the aegis Of
which the archaeologist rose to fame.
So immense is the quantity Of liter
ature contained in the donation that

it il divided. viz, the letters written
to De Rossi by men Of greater or less
er Importance i'm tho scientific world,
total no less than 10000.

was ever made by the knights Of
columbus OF the United States to
establish the Order in Ireland.
The hierarchy and the clergy were
never asked to pass upon the mer-
its or dement's of the organization
or to say whether or not they
would countenance it because OF
its secret character.
In America, the knights of CO.
lumbus have received the approx
al of the highest ecclesiastical au-
thority. Their ceremonial, degree
work and secrets have been
made known to every Bishop in
whose diocese they are organized
and they can well be pardoned if
they refuse to show like consider
alton to every captious critic who
may raise the cry of secrecy. The
ecclesiastical and the civil author
tiles, who have a right to know
what the Order stands for, are
quite familiar with the aims and
purposes of the Knights of Colum-
bus, which, Notwithstanding the
assertion of "The Fortnightly Re
view" does not differ from
all other Catholic societies in its
secret features and degree work. !"
Nor is there anything in its scope
and objects "to which a loyal and
conservative Catholic could rea-
sonably object. -
The Knights Of Columbus have
already proved their worth and
they can afford to ignore in the
future, as they have done in the
past, all criticism founded on mis-
conception of the true nature and
purpose Of the organization.

When the Pope is fully vested, and
wearing the. pail from the body oil
Blessed Peter, he is adorned with the
yestments of every grade in the
Church; the white linen garment OF
the minor orders, the tunicle Of the
sub-deacon, the dalmatic of the dea-
con, the chasuble of the priest, the
gloves, husl1ins, ETC., of the Bishop,
the pail of the Archbishop and patri-
arch, and the falda and fanon Of
Papacy.
Thus grit about with variety, he APP
proaches the altar as the great high
priest of humanity. He does not car
ry pastoral staff like an ordinary
Bishop, but he sometimes uses the fe-
rula, which is metal rod surmounted
by cross pattee in Greek form, Plus
TX. used such at the Council
Among other Papal insignia is the
Sedes Gestatoria, which is of gilt
wood, and is raised ON two steps. 1t is
upholstered in red velvet and gold,
and is carried by IL bearers. 1t is
used only for solemn entry and exit.
Two fans of white ostrich feathers
mingled with those of the peacock,
and mounted on tall red velvet slaves
are carried on either side by privy
chamberlains.
Thrones and Fisherman's Ring,
There are four kinds of thrones
made use of by the Pope. The Pontifi-
cal throne, either on the Gospel side
when he assists at Mass, or at the
end of the. presbytery when he cele-
brates. This is raised up by steps
until it is on level with the altar.
Hangings Of silver, red, violet or gold
adorn it; and the seat itself is of the
old cathedral form. A smaller throne,
without canopy, and on lower step
is used during solemn Terce, while
the Pope is yesting.
In the Hall of Consistory is another
throne with rich hangings from de-
signs by Raphael. Here the chair is
covered with violet.
The ordinary throne found in the
Throne Room, the study and dining
room has no step, but only rich car
pet and a footstool of red velvet The
chair itself is of wood, carved and
gilded, and is upholstered in red velvet
and gold. The Papal cross of gilt
metal, which is used to preeede the
Pope whenever he goes officially, is
kept in the ante-chamber, along with
the broad-brimmed red velvet hat, and
the ombuellino-a sunshade of red
damask fringed with gold
Lastly there is the Fisberman's
Ring, so-called from having engraved
on the stone figure of st. Peter fish
ing from boat This is the personal
sealing ring of the Pope, and is broken
upon his death.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
THE HISTORY or THE
DRUNKARD.

No man ever became drunkard
in day. No man ever set out with
the ayowed purpose of becoming a
drunkard We point the fingers OF
scorn at the victim of drink and
say, why doesn't he quit his drink
ing?' IF | we're like him, | would
take the pledge" You know the most
disgusting sot that ever filled drunk
ards grave said and thought the self
same thing. He could boast of being
able to take drink or leave it alone.
But the time came when the boast
was vain, for he was helpless in the
grasp of that vice. The panther
never stole with half the stealth, to
make the final leap upon his victim,
as does intemperance creep upon it's
prey,
The human being for whom | have
the deepest sympathy is the drunk
ard. Not that | can admire the driy-
cling, idiotic counterfeit Of man. Not
that | can condone his crime. Not
that / can overlook the suffering and
grief and hunger and want he has
caused; but in his helpless, pitiable
condition he needs sympathy and as
sistance. Strange it is how, very
often, the sunniest, best natured of
men fall victims and that demon
drink transforms their nature so that
we can call them by no other name
than devil. Yet they once felt secure
perhaps as you do now; never dream
ed that they would lose control, and
here they are now, slaves bound
hand and foot, ready to be cast into
hell.
Rep. William p. Curtin.

BIG BUSINESS ExAcTs sosRIETY.

Big business is the new foe Of the
liquor traffic. 1t insists upon having
not only the sober man but the total
abstainer. 1t looks askance upon the
man who, however, efficient or brilli-
ant, muddles his brain with liquor.
The moderate drinker may be and is
oftimes a capable workman, but the
men who invest money in various en-
terprises place no dependence upon
him. They seek the steady-nerved
workers who are able to cope with an
emergency and to render adequate
service, and they are unanimous in de-
claring that such men are total abb
stainers. The manager Of firm en-
ploying 800 men says that it is only
common sense to state that strictly
sober man is worth. more to his com
pany and that the firm expects to be
more than repaid by the improve
ment in the service it will get from
sober Workmen. !

neglect Mass ON Sunday morning
in order that they might 60 fishing

that the days enjoyment is mar

ensues, it is no small consolation
to the survivors to know that the

the burden of their sorrow is in
creased in no small degree by the
knowledge of this neglect of a

mortal sin. Reasonable recreation

should always be prefaced by at

DRINKING AS A PERSONAL
PROPOSITION.

A recent breezy book, Cutting it
Out" which is well worth the read
ing, has its value for the drinker as
the practical experience of the aver
age man who decided that it was to
his advantage to do what the title
signifies. 1t contains, however, one
fundamental error in it's insiStence
that drinking liquor is personal
proposition and nothing else
individual in every human relation"
The drink habit is, of course, indi-
vidual in it's beginning. The great
majority of persons begin to drink be.

another. But that is very small part

the last quarter century has shown

titles of alcohol which speedily be.

The moment habit affects a per-

learned that the steady drinker, even
though he may never get intoxicated,
is liable to be Tess efficient, Tess re-
liable, more subject to accident, is
discriminating as a matter of business
against the drinker, not because the
drinker is an individual but because
the drinkers habit has an effect on
the employers interests and those of
the other employees. This business
condition reacts on the drinkers fam
lily in its maintenance-others brought
into the circle of effects. Physicians
find that in middle life there is
higher death-rate among drinkers.
These mean loss to the family just
when the man is most needed. They

ing in its unproductive years up to
twenty years of age. The economist
finds the waste entailed upon the com
munity by the drinker through the
commonly recognized facts of crime,
pauperism and insanity.
1t is these social facts based on
accurate scientific and sociological
studies that underlie the work of those
whom the author mentioned is pleased
to designate as professional reform
ers." They are seeking, not primarily
to curtail the liberties of individuals
simply because of their own personal
opinions, but as in any other health
or social problem to deal with some
thing that affects society as whole
Any laws enacted in the matter are
not for the purpose of threats or
terror or cajolery,' but to the same
ends as laws governing infectious dis
ease-for the protection of the indi-
vidual and the community from what
is known to be menace to human
life. Education of the individual
there must be, but at the same time,
those who know what is true have a
duty in trying to protect society
against ignorance or carelessness.-

This is the season of the year
when baccalaureate sermons are
the order of the day. They are all
right in their place but when the
pupils of public school are ex-
pected TO attend them they should
not be given in any church.
Where children of all denomina-
tions attend public school their
religious convictions should be re-
Spected i'll this as in other matters

tious scruples about attending

THE LAYMEN'S RETREAT.

The third annual retreat for the
Catholic laymen Of the Northwest
will open in st. Mary's Chapel,
st. Paul Seminary, on Friday
evening, June Is, at half past
eight O'Clock and will close with
Mass at an early hour on the fol-
lowing Monday morning. This
will enable the retreatantS to be
at their respective places of bust
ness at the usual time.
The exercises Of the retreat will
be under the direction Of the
Right Reverend Bishop Lawler.
Any Catholic man who desires to
attend and who has not yet made
application should send his name
without further delay to the Rev.
Bernard Feeney, st. Paul Semi
nary.
Three years ago the giving of
a special retreat for the more in
telligent of the Catholic laymen
Of this vicinity was inaugurated
in st. Paul with good results.
Many took advantage Of the OPP
portunity thus afforded to obtain
clearer insight into their spir-
itual needs and a more compre-
hensive grasp of the duties and
responsibilities devolving upon
them in the work of the lay apos-
tolate which is contributing SO
much to extend the influence of
Catholicity as a potent factor in
the work of personal and social
regeneration. In other localities
where laymen s retreats have been
established the results have provd
most gratifying.
The intent of the spiritual re-
treat is to afford to such Catholics
as may be drawn thither the OPP
portunity of a few days retire
ment from the distractions Of ordi-
nary life with view to the spe-
cial and uninterrupted concentra-
ton of thought and attention upon
the all-important question pro
pounded by the Saviour: What
doth it profit man if he gain the
whole world and suffer the loss
of his own soul?"
The spiritual retreat for the
laity is not accounted among the
obligatory methods of working
out ones salvation: nor is it, in
deed, within the compass Of the
multitude. Ii is reserved for the
privileged few. Only the few
can, even for a brief period of
time, cut themselves off from their
daily labors: only the few have
that high sense of the value of
things supernaI which counsels the
uncommon in the cultivation of
the soul and it's Heaven-reaching
interests. To such, however, as
are capable of it, the spiritual re-
treat comes as a special favor from
Almighty God, as a precious
means of winning over to the soul
richest graces and blessings in
time and In eternity.

the sabbath day" by being present
at Mass. They forget that there
is no vacation from religious du-
ties. The missing Of Mass when
one is on vacation is just as seri-
Gus a sin as the missing of Mass
in ones own parish. Hence, when
Catholics plan for a summer out
ing their first consideration should
be to select a place where they
can have the opportunity of going
to Mass on Sunday. To do other
