MONTH OF MARCH
FORMERLY THE FIRST MONTH
OF THE YEAR-THlS GAVE
NAMES TO SEVERAL MONTHS.

In the old Roman calendar March
was the first month of the year, and
in some countries it continues to be
SO held. 1t is thus we have the names
of September, October, November,
December, meaning seventh, eighth,
ninth and tenth months. We referred
recently to the reforming of the calen-
dar by Pope Gregory the Great in
1882, making the year begin on the
first of January and fixing the system
on the scientific principles of astron-
omy. The scholars of the world readi-
ly recognized the exactness with
which the Gregorian calendar adjusted
the incorrect calculations of the old
calendar, and it was promptly adopted
by all civilized nations with two not
able exceptions. England and Russia
took the absurd ground that they
would sooner fight the stars than
agree with the Pope" and they stuck
to the old calendar, which was proved
to be incorrect. After a century and
a half England began to appreciate
the absurdity of her position, and fin
ally in 1852 accepted the Gregorian
calendar, but Russia still clings to the
old style, which causes difference
of about eleven days in all dates.
March derives it's name from the
Romans, who dedicated it to Mars,
the God of War, and called it Martius,
which has been Anglicized to March.

from the evidence taken before Justice
of the Peace Young on the day follow
ing the tragedy. There is no evidence
that Black was ever priest except
his own statement to that effect and
the statements of his anti-Catholic
friends. In fact, all the evidence that
can be obtained on this point shows
that he was never a priest. When
challenged he could not give the name
of the seminary he attended nor that
of the Bishop who ordained him. The
adopted" daughter who was travel
ing with him at the time he was shot
was a girl of seventeen belonging to
Little Rock, who was under the super
vision of the juvenile court for de-
linquency and incorrigibility. In
order to secure possession of the girl
Black represented himself to her
parents, who are deaf mutes, as rich
man, saying that he would make her
his heir. She was travelling around
the country with Black while his wife
lived in Bellaire, Ohio.

BLAsPHEMER's TRAGIC END
FELL DEAD IN TRENCH AS HE
WAS REvlLINe GOD.

A terrible fate befell blasphemer
the other day. This incident, which
is vouched for by two priests, has
been the cause of the conversion of
more than one careless man. An
anti-Catholic lay teacher was highly
incensed when young Trappist was
appointed to the regiment to act as
chaplain, and few days ago, seeing
the young priest in the trenches, he
said to his companions: What do
you want with him here, seeing there
is no God. If there were God He
would at this moment break my gun"
AS he lifted his gun above the ram
part of the trenches ball from the
enemies lines struck it and smashed
it in his hand and the shot, ricochet-
ting, entered his brain, SO that he fell
dead before the Mortified eyes of his
companions.

SPANISH BISHOP KNIGHTED
MGR. TRASToRZA WAS INVESTED
WITH INSIGNIA OF BISHOP
PRIOR OF MILITARY ORDERS BY
KING ALFONSO.

A magnificent ceremony was wit
messed in Madrid recently which could
only be seen in such stronghold of
chivalry and faith as Catholic Spain.
The occasion was the investiture of
the new Bishop of Ciudad Reale as
Bishop Prior of the military orders
of Spain. The ritual provides that
the Bishop Prior shall be invested
with the order of knighthood on as
Stunning office, if he is not already a
knight, as same of the old soldier
priests were. The ceremony took
place in the Church of San francesca
ell Grande before all the knights who
could attend, OF, the four military or
ders of Santiago, Alcantara, Calatrara
and Montesa. King Alfonso, as Grand
Master, was escorted to his throne in
the sanctuary by 80 knights all in
full ceremonial dress. The Bishop,
Mgr. TrastorZa, was then conducted to
the altar, on which were laid the
sword, spurs and mantle of knight.
These he donned with accompanying
ritual, being assisted by the most
illustrious of the knights. Kneeling
before the Grand Master he then re-
ceived the accolate, and, rising to his
feet and ascending the altar steps,
the Bishop Knight gave his blessing to
the assembled company, king and all
kneeling humbIy before him. After
the Mass a splendid procession was
formed, led by the banners of the
great military orders, which passed to
the sacristy, where Royal Grand Mas
ter and Bishop Prior both invested
their gorgeous robes.
