A MEMORABLE DECADE.

preached by the Most Reverend Arch
bishop Ireland. After the religious
ceremony, civic function was held at
which addresses were delivered by
Judge Bazille, Chairman of this sec
ton of the program, Mayor Smith,
Senator Clapp, Governor Johnson, and
Judge Kelly who spoke on behalf of
the Catholic 1aity.
In the month of August, 1909, the
contract for the superstructure, which
is also of gray granite, was awarded
to the p. M. Hennessy Construction
Company of st. Paul, and three years
later the contract for the roof and
dome was secured by the w. J. Hoy
Company, also of this city. The
granite cross which crowns the facade
at a height of .124 feet above the foun-
dation, was placed in position on July
16, 1912, and the last block of
granite was lifted to the top of one
of the turrets that rise above the
parapet of the dome, on December /
1913. The cross which overtops the
monumental dome at height of 3061a
feet above the main floor was an.
chored in it's socket on May 18, 1914
1t is made of steel six inches square
and covered with gold leaf. 1t is 1912
feet high and 8 feet at the cross arms
At its base in a copper ball is a
cluster of electric lamps which
| illumines it by reflected light.
AS soon as the exterior was com
pleted the contract for the ornamental
plaster ceiling was awarded to Bic
and Herment of Chicago, in April
1914. The heating, lighting, and cleo
trio systems we're installed, as sooT
as possible, the tile flooring was ther
laid and the interior put in readiness;
for the first service which took place
on March %, 1915. A full account Of
the dedication exercises of April II
will be given in next weeks issue.
Architecture of the New Cathedral.
The new Cathedral is built in wha
is generally known as the "Classica
Renaissance" style of architecture. 1
is an adaptation of the original plai
of st. Peters iii Rome as designed b.
Bramante and Michael Angelo, ant
without the long nave added later b!
Carlo Maderna. 1t has the form of ;
Greek Cross with the magnificen
dome, which is the central feature 0
the edifice, towering above the inter
section of the great nave and thu
i transept to height of 294 feet. Al
parts of the Cathedral converge, as
were, towards the dome which, as
lifts the great cross high up into TIL
azure vault of the sky, naturally cal
ries ones thoughts towards TIL
heaven to which it points.
A detailed description of the Cattle
: dral and of the symbolism enshrine
: in it's architectural features will b
found elsewhere in this issue, t
gether with statement of the re
: ceipts and disbursements to date an
summary of the dimensions which
more than anything else, give tn
reader an idea of the monuments
proportions of the new Cathedral.

RELIGIOUS REFUGEES
SIX SPANISH NUNS DRIVEN FROM
VERA CRUZ, MEXICO, REACH
NEW YORK ON THEIR WAY TO
SPAIN.

Six Spanish nuns, who said they
were driven from convent near Vera
Cruz by Carranza troops who besieged
the convent six days and threatened
their lives, reached New York last
Tuesday aboard the Spanish steamer
Manuel Calvo from Vera Cruz and
Havana.
The nuns, who were in charge of
Mother Superior Sinsona Neito, said
that for seventeen years they con-
Quoted hospital in connection with
their convent at Crizaba. When a
Carranza order was issued in Febru-
airy expelling all priests and nuns
from the state of Vera Cruz, they de-
cided to remain to nurse twenty pa
tients in the hospital.
They appealed in vain for protec-
tion, they said, to Governor Aguilar
of Vera Cruz, whom they had cared for
when he had fever two years ago.
"A mob of drunken soldiers sur
rounded the convent and hospital on
March /, and threatened our lives,
Mother Simona said They besieged
us six days, but our faithful servants
protected us. We escaped at night by
putting aside our nuns clothing and
wearing the common garb of Mexican
women. We went to Vera Cruz, stay
ed in hiding there two days and then
/ boarded the vessel. Our passage was
paid by friends" The party will go
to Spain.

P0PE's SlucI7UDE
FOR WAR PRISONERS
DECREE MAKING PROVISION FOR
SPIRITUAL WELFARE or SOL
DlERs AND PRISONERS OF WAR
ISSUED BY ROMAN coNGREGA.
TON.

The Sacred Congregation for Extra
ordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs has is
sued a decree declaring that the Holy
Father, touched by the conditions Of
the soldiers in war, and particularly
the prisoners, has given the Following
permissiOnS and instructions:
/. Each Ordinary in whose diocese
there are prisoners of war is to allot
one or more priests, according to the
number of prisoners, to look to the
spiritual care of the prisoners, and if
there be no one knowing sufficiently
the language of the prisoners, the Or
binary is to make application to those
Ordinaries who can supply the priests
required.
2. The priests are not to confine
themselves to merely spiritual minis
trations, but are also to look to the
material needs of the prisoners, help
ing them in their necessities.
3. The priests are to find out
whether the prisoners under their
care have communicated with their
friends, and in case they have not,
they are to persuade them to do so, if
only by means Of postcard.
4. Should the prisoners for any
cause be unable to communicate with
their friends, either on account of in
ability to write or because OF sickness
or wounds, the priests are requested
to undertake the work for them in a
spirit of charity, and when possible to
secure the delivery of their CORE
spondence.
Accompanying the decree of the Sa-
cred Congregation of Extraordinary
Ecclesiastical Affairs is a letter of
the Cardinal Secretary of State, in
which he expresses the solicitude OF
the Holy Father for the soldiers in the
war, irrespective of religion or ma
tionality. The letter is directed to the
Cardinal-Archbishops of the belligerent
nations, and requests them to trans
nit the decree of the Sacred Congre-
cation for Extraordinary Ecclesiasti-
cal Affairs to all the Bishops in whose
dioceses prisoners of war may be, so
that a faithful observance of the in
structions be ensured. The attention
of the Cardinals is asked to the fact
that His Holiness by the use of the
word prisoners" in the decree means
every prisoner no matter what may
be his religion or nation, or what Ian.
guage he may speak. All are to be
aided in the charity of Jesus Christ.

LOVES MIRACLE.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Katherine {. cahoon.)

- -
In the gloom of an old Cathedral,
/ knelt with Inurmured prayer.
But while words deyont were on my
lips,
My thoughts, as kneeling there,
Were with a sad and grief-worn soul,
Who tired of life, and its care,
Had come as Ito rest and pray
At the foot of the altar fair.
All soul so poor as the world deems
wealth,
What miracle do | behold?
OF the cares you brought no trace re-
mains,
They are changed into riches I'M
told,
That CLEAN in the light from window
rare,
Sitting down like shaft of gold,
AS you kneel and pray, in the twilight
On the floor Of the church SO old.
Your hands are filed with flowers Of
faith,
And gems of a priceless love;
A futter of wings-and near your
heart
There nest1es a snow-White dove,
A dove whose spotless plumage.
Is the type of SO pure a love
That it brings to your eyes radiant
peace,
AS they rest on the altar above.
The virtues are never the stronger

New York, June 2s.-Subpenas
were sent to-day by Mr.. Cook to Cha
teaugay Lake, near Laone, N. Y, to
be served upon Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw to testify IN the case of Harry
X. Thaw.
Conflicting reports as to whether
Mrs. Thaws willingness or unwilling
ness to testify were received. one of
them stated that she would not un-
der any circumstances be a witness.
Mr.. Cook wants Mrs Thaw to re-
peat to the jury the evidence she gave
in the proceedings in White Plains in
1909 when she told of visiting Thaw
at Matteawan and quoted him as say
ing:
when I get out of this place I sup
pose / shall have to kill YOU"
Among the witnesses ready to testi-
fy for Thaw in the hearing here to-
day were Gen. Frank S. Streeter, a
lawyer of Concord. n. H., and DR..
Charles P. Bancroft, superintendent
of the New Hampshire hospital for the
insane, both members of the lunacy
commission appointed by the court of
New Hampshire to see Thaw when he
was in that State. They reported that
Thaw was not then suffering from any
of the forms of mental disease alleged
by the prosecution at the time of his
trial for the murder.
Upper Chateaugay Lake. n. Y, June
27.-Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, for whom
State process servers have been search
ing vainly more than a fortnight, was
found to-day at a camp in the heart
of the North Woods. She is close to a
nervous breakdown, brought on by
overwork and the fear that Harry K.
Thaw may be liberated as a result of
the proceedings now being held in
New York.
Mrs. Thaw is firmly convinced that
If her husband is freed he will seek
vengeance upon her.

most terrible of the tragedies of the

to do anything for them. They are
the boys. of 16 and II and even
younger"
