One of the most successful of Cath
olic Indian Congresses came to an end
August IL, when delegates to the num-
Der of 1000, representing over $4,000
Sioux, assembled at the call of their
various missionaries on the Yankton
Reservation, South Dakota. There,
under the direction of Rev. Henry /.
Westropp, S. j., resident missionary
of the Yanktons, an elaborate program
was carried out.
The congress assembled on August
Z, and opened with a Mass by Rev.
Philip Gordon, a Chippewa Indian
priest, at present attached to the Bu-
reau of Catholic Indian Missions,
Washington, d. c.
On Sunday, August s, the Right Rev.
erend Bishop O'Gorman of Sioux Falls
favored the congress with a visit.
More than 5000 Indians went out to
meet him on his arrival at the camp,
near Ravinia, S. d. Thence the In
dians accompanied the Bishop to the
altar erected on the open prairie,
where he was to give confirmation.
The following priests assisted: The
Right Rev. Bernard Murphy, o. S. b.,
Abbot of the Sacred Heart Abbey,
Oklahoma; the Very Rev. William H.
Ketcham, director of the Bureau of
Catholic Indian Missions, Washing
ton; the Rev. Henry /. Westropp, S. j.,
Yankton Reservation; Father Henry,
s. j., Mankato, Mimi; Father Francis
j. Ridden, S. j., Rosebud Reservation;

walton; Father Ambrose, o. S. B.,
Standing Rock Reservation; Father
O'Flaherty, Mitchell, s. D.; Father
Byrne, Wagner. s. D.; Father John,
Santee Sioux missionary, Niobrara,
NeD.; Father Walsh, Sioux Falls, S. D.
Father Gordon celebrated the Mass
assisted by many Sioux altar boys.
Following the Bishops departure
for Sioux Falls, a memorial church
to Father De Smet, s. j., built by
Henry Heide of New York City, was
formally blessed. The Right Reverend
Abbot Murphy officiated in the abb
sence of the Bishop, and Father
Ketcham delivered the sermon. All
present then repaired to the identical
spot, which according to tradition,
was the landing place of Father De
Smet, S. j., the first great missionary
to the Sioux nation. After hymn in
the Sioux language Father Gordon de-
livered short eulogy. The exercises
took place in the presence of the
donor of the memorial church, who
made the trip from New York to be
present
During the days of the congress a
regular series Of public meetings took
place in the central bower. The diff
ferent missionaries spoke and prom
inent Sioux orators had place on
the varied programs.

ing confessions and instructing. con-

CARDINAL VANNUTELLI DEAD.
DEAN OF SACRED COLLEGE HAD
A REMARKABLE cAREER-PRo-
CLAIMED CARDINAL IN 1887.

His Eminence Cardinal Seraflno
Vannutelli, Dean of the Sacred Col
lege, died in Rome on August 18, at
the age of eighty-one. He was Grand
Penitentiary of the Church, Prefect OF
the Congregation of Sacred Ceremon
les, and Titular Bishop of Ostia, Porto
and Santa Rufina. He was created
and proclaimed Cardinal by Pope Leo
XIII, March IA, 1881.
His Eminence was born November
26, 1884, at Genazzano, in the Diocese
of Palastrina. His early education
was obtained in the seminary of Cen
azzano, and he received degrees in
philosophy and theology in the Ca
pranica College at Rome. He was or
dained priest December %, 1860. He
taught canon law and theology in Ro-
man seminaries and later was appoint
ed Auditor in Mexico, and afterwards
at Munich.
He received episcopal conservation
and was appointed Titular Archbishop
of Nice on June 25, 1869. He later

Peru and that of Nuncio in Brussels.
Unfortunately this position became al
most impossible through the manifest
hostility of the Liberal Cabinet then
in power, which had declared war on
all religious institutions. Matters
went so far that relations were broken
off with the Holy See, and he was
compelled to resign his office in 1879.
In the following year Leo XIII sent
him as Nuncio to Vienna, where,
his experience in managing
business and through still rarer quail
tiles he not only made himself impor
tant to the Holy See and won the es-
TEEN of all around him, but also at
tanned to the rank of Cardinal on
March ID, 1887.
Cardinal Vannutelli was descended
from one of those old Roman families
whose histories have been linked with

CATHOLIC DEAF MUTEs
PRIESTS ENGAGED IN
WORK OF EDUCATING DEAF
MUTES IN THE UNITED STATES
sign LANGUAGE TAUGHT IN
SIX SEMINARIEs.

The last half dozen years in the
United States have witnessed an enor-
nous growth of missionary activity
among Catholic deaf mutes. 1t is
doubtful if in 1908 a dozen priests
throughout the entire extent of the
country were actively engaged in look
ing after the spiritual wants of the
Catholic deaf. Indeed, at the Catholic
educational convention at Milwaukee
in 1907, only twenty names could be
collected of all those who we're en-
gagged in deaf education, and this com
prised the names of sisters, as we'll as
of priests. To-day, however, thanks
to the generous support of the Catho-
lie press in calling attention to the
appalling condition of the Catholic
deaf, there are actively engaged in
this apostolic work no less than forty
one priests, who are giving their time,
either entirely or partially, to the
work of deaf education or instruction
Moreover, this consoling situation is
constantly growing better, for the
work has been introduced into no less
than six different seminaries through.
out the country, where the seminari-
ans are instructed in the sign language
and after ordination they will be able
to converse with the deaf in their
own language, and thus at once estab
lish a bond of sympathy between the
church and the deaf, bond that has
too long remained neglected. The
number of Catholic schools for the
deaf, too, has been on the increase
during the last half-dozen years, an6
the number of their pupils shows q
constant increase, not only in mum
bers, but growth in efficiency.

and women took the pledge against in
toxicating liquors, many for life.
Among many interesting features,
probably the most noteworthy was a
public banding together of twelve
| prominent Sioux laymen, who, in imi-
tation of the mission of the twelve
Apostles, pledged themselves to evan
gelize the whole Sioux nation, which
numbers many thousands These
men will assist the missionaries as
catechists.
The Yankton Sioux Congress is
also noteworthy as being the first
Sioux congress at which there
was official representation from Okla
homa. Two delegations, one from the
Quapows, who live in Northern Okla
homa, and the other from the Choc.
taws, who live in Southern Oklahoma,
assisted, The Choctaws came LOO
miles to be with the Sioux on this oc-
casion. There were also present In
dians from the Winnebago tribe in
Nebraska, the Chippewa tribe of Min
nesota and Wisconsin, besides dele
Nebraska, Rosebud, Standing Rock
and Pine Ridge of South Dakota, the
former travelling 400 miles overland
and coming in thirty-nine wagons;
Cheyenne River, Grow Creek, Sisseton
and the Yankton.
At the final meeting, the Indians ap-
pointed committee from all the dele
oof To Gxyo 20 h0
coming year.
In the name of the delegates a mes
sage of filial greeting was sent to His
Holiness, Pope Benedict XIV, and in
reply thereto the following cablegram
was received:
ITO Chief Black Elk, President of In
dian Congress.
Holy Father accepts with pleasure
devout homage of Catholic Indians
united in congress, and very heartily
sends them the Apostolic blessing
they ask.
Cardinal GAsPARRI.'
A touching incident Of the congress
took place when number of little
Indian children approached the Rev.
w. III. Ketcham and begged him to
procure school for them wherein
they might be instructed in their faith.
Such a school is badly needed and
the priest in charge OF this mission
hopes that some generous friends will
give the necessary funds
1t may be interesting to note that
missionary work among the Sioux was
started by Father De Smet, S. J., when
he landed at Vermillion, S. D., on May
IL, 1889, and baptized a number of
them. Some time afterwards the Rev.
Augustine RavouX, a pioneer mission
ary of st. Paul, came in from the
north and labored among them for a
time. For some years the work of
evangelization, mainly among the Sis
seton and Yankton Sioux, was prac-
tically abandoned. Nearly thirty-fve
years ago Bishop Marty and the Bene-
dictine Fathers started work among
the northern Sioux and some years
later the Jesuits came to Pine Ridge
and Rosebud Reservations, and these
missions are in a dourishing condi-
tion. Since 1914, the Rev. Henry Wes-
tropp, s. j., has labored among the
Yankton Sioux On his arrival he
found nearly 200 of the Yanktons still
clinging to Catholicism and the tribe
received him with open arms. Since
then many Indians have been received
into the church and others are under
instruction.
