GARD INAL MERGER
NOT ARRESTED
GERMAN AUTHORITIES DENY RE-
PORT CONCERNING BELGIAN
PRlMATE.

The German military government Of
Belgium has issued an official denial
of the report that His Eminence Car
dinal Mercier, Archbishop of Malines,
Belgium, was arrested by the German
authorities.
A dispatch from The Hague says the
German authorities in Belgium char
acterized the report, published in the
Amsterdam "Tjid," as absolutely false.
The Cardinal has neither been de-
tanned in the Bishops palace at Ma
lines (Mechlen) nor placed under po-
lice surveillance of any sort, the Off
cial statement says. 1t also is denied
that any priests have been arrested.
The denial is silent on the case of
Dessain, the printer, who published
the Cardinals Christmas pastoral
letter, but it is understood the report
concerning him also is a fabrication
The Germans are said to take the posi-
ton that at this time the point
whether they are the legal or the lille
gal rulers Of Belgium is not at issue,
and, consequently, there will be no
action on their part.
Cardinal Mercier was reported un-
officially to have been arrested on ac-
count of a pastoral letter in which
he was said to have advised Belgian
civilians not to recognize the authority
of the German administration of Bel
GUM.

MEETS DEATH WHILE ON THE
WAY TO CELEBRATE CHRIST
MAS MASS.

On December 29, there occurred at
st. Vincent, Ark, the funeral of "a de-
voted priest who died martyr to duty.
Rev. H. Cattani, pastor of the Chuch
of Perpetual Help, was drowned on
Christmas morning while on his way
to celebrate Mass at st. Vincent. In
order that his little flock at the mis-
sion of Center Ridge might have the
consolation of Christmas Mass he
drove sixteen miles to the hamlet and
celebrated Midnight Mass, after which
he started back to St. Vincent, intend
ing to celebrate Mass there at 5
o'clock. While crossing little creek,
which was swollen by heavy rains, the
vehicle was overturned and Father
Cattani's body was swept down the
stream several hundred yards, where
it was found after daybreak.
Right Reverend John B. Morris, D.
D., Bishop of Little Rock, sang the
Requiem Mass in the little church
which Father Cattani had served so
faithfully and well, and paid high
tribute to the zeal and energy of the
deceased priest. Father Cattani was
born in Switzerland in 1879, and after
finishing course in medicine came
to this country and studied theology
at st. Meinrad, Ind, coming to Little
Rock after his ordination.

SILVER JUBILEE CELEBRATED

share to the celebration by giving a
splendid entertainment in honor of
the Right Reverend Bishop, the
visiting priests, and the general
public.
The Benedictine Sisters at Sturgis
trace their origin to a Swiss convent,
from which the late Right Reverend
Bishop Marty, o. S. B., received the
first laborers. The foundress, Mother
Angela, is still in the community and
her companions are still active in
Gods chosen field.
The Sisters arrived in Sturgis, April

beginning, an old abandoned building
on Upper Main Street served as their
residence. The latter part of July,
1889, the late Bishop Marty paid them
the first visit and with him came

on October 5, 1901, the cornerstone
of the Convent building was laid by

ST. MARTINS ACADEMY, STURGIs,
S. D., CELEBRATES THE 25TH
ANNIVERSARY OF ITS FOUND
ING G-RELIGIoUs RECEPTION
BISHOP BUSCH oFFIcIATES-
HISTORY OF THE INSTITUTION.

January g. the Feast of the Epiph-
any, was the twenty-fifth anniversary
of the opening of st. Martins Acad-
emy, Sturgis, South Dakota, and the
event was celebrated in q most ap-
propriate manner.
At ten o'clock the Right Reverend
J. f. Busch, Bishop of Lead, sang
Pontifcal High Mass. Rev. J. Fitz-
gerald of Rapid City and Rev. H.
Goeslein of Lead were deacons of
honor, Father Hirsh of Philip and
Father Haeusler of Hot Springs,
deacon and sub-deacon of the
mass, Rev. P. Columbian, o. S. b.,
of Sturgis was master of ceremonies.
Very Rev. r. f. 'Dube, V. c., of Dead
wood was assistant priest. Rev. J. j.
O'Reilley of Spearfsh was present in
the sanctuary.
After the gospel two postulants
received the black veil of the Order
of St. Benedict: Miss Hannah O'Con-
mel of Haverhill, Mass, who will be
known henceforth as Sister Mary
Callista, and Miss Margaret Dealy OF
Yankton, S. D., who received the name
Sister Mary Bonaventure.
The Bishop then preached the ser
mon, in the course of which he pointed
out the Importance of the Convent
as a religious institution. He spoke
of the four things which are the cause
of the present unrest in the world
lack or respect for authority; individ
ualism; class hatred; and the failure
to recognize the Church as an institu
ton The Bishop congratulated tht
Sisters on the good work done durin;
the past twenty-five years, and wei
coined the two Novices into the com
munity. He also congratulated tn
people of Sturgis on their goo,
fortune in having such an institu
ton in the city, and said that h
was, sure that the civic communit
was far better for the good influence
that came from the Convent an
Academy than it would hav
been without them. The solem

CATHOLICITY IN DULUTH

petitioned Rt. Rev. Rupert Seiden-
busch for aid in establishing a school.
The result was, that on January Is,
1891, four Sisters from st. Joseph,
Minnesota, arrived in Duluth, and two
days later opened a school in what
was formerly carriage shop between
First and Second Avenues East. The
attendance on the first day was one
hundred and fifty, over-taXing> the
accommodations. This was the original
parochial school of the Sacred Heart
parish. In 1882 and 1888 the school
remained closed, and the Sisters re-
turned to the Mother House. In Octo-
ber, 1882, Rev. Christopher Murphy
took charge of the parish until 1885,
when Rev. G.. J. Goebel became pas
tor. In 1884 seven Sisters returned
and rented dwelling on Second
Avenue East and Fourth Street, and
a vacated public school on Second
Avenue East and First Street. In
1885 Rt. Rev. Abbot AleXius Edel-
brock, O. S. B., advanced $5,000.00
and a new school, dedicated to St.
Thomas Aquinas, was built on Second
Avenue West and Fourth Street, and
opened in 1886. In this the youth of
the parish were educated for nineteen
years.
Bishop McGoIrick Appointed.
In 1889, a few months before the
conservation of Duluth'S first Bishop,
Archbishop Ireland appointed the
Rev. Timothy Corbett, then assistant
to Father McGolrick in Minneapolis,
to the pastorate of the Sacred Heart
parish, Duluth. A new era was about
to open in the Catholic history of Du-
luth. When Bishop McGolricks cleo
ton was announced, Father Corbett
made every effort-and effort and sue
cess were synonymous in his case
to prepare church and residence for
the reception of the Bishop. The
property Of the Sacred Heart parish
in 1889 consisted of three lots, the old
ST. Thomas school, the church and
we're in need of immediate and exten-
sive repairs. The city had a popula-
ton of about $4,000. There was no
electric light plant, no paved streets,
only two street cars on Superior
Street, drawn by mules. The Pro-Ca-
thedral was a plain wooden structure
with few furnishings. The altar, how
ever, was Realltifply butEthe organ was
poor, and the sacristy was small. Con-
sidering the hardships of the pioneers
the building was quite creditable In
the year 1890 the Catholic Association
Hall and an addition to the old house
as apartments for the Bishop, were
built. The Association Hall was used
as club rooms and meeting place for
the various societies.
Destroyed by Fire.

gone to assist Rev. w. T. Roy in hear
