MEXICAN CATHEDRAL LOOT
WORK OF ART EXCHANGED FOR A
SUIT OF WHITE FLANNELS.

Ten ounces of art valued at $4,000
lay in small pasteboard box on the
desk of Walton Marshall, manager of
the Hotel Vanderbilt, New York, says
the New York Sun. It was figure
carved from a solid piece of wood in
the sixteenth century which has re-
posed for nearly 800 years in the
Cathedral of the Archbishop of Mex
leo, Mexico City. When the Cathedral
was recently sacked by one of Villas
aids this valuable relic was confiscated
and carried away. It's value was not
suspected and it was traded for a suit
of white fannels belonging to Archer
Harrison, who represented an Ameri-
can firm in Mexico City and who was
at the time about to sail from Vera
Cruz for New York, where he wouldn't
need white flannels anyway.
When Mr.. Harrison arrived in New
York he submitted the figure to deal.

ever, Mr.. Harrison prefers to keep the

and perfect design, and that is in the

CURIOUS LEGAL QUESTION
RAISED BY THE WILL OF AN ITAL-
IAN PRIEST WHO LEFT BE-
QUEST TO ARCHBISHOP or Bo-
LOGNA.

A recent dispatch from Rome says
An interesting legal point has been
raised by contest over a legacy of
$33, 900 left by the Rev. Cesare Salvi.
The priests will provided that the
money was to go to Cardinal Svampa,
then Archbishop of Bologna, or to his
successor in Office in case the death of
the Cardinal occurred before that of
the testator. The money was to be
used for such charitable purposes as
the recipient might elect.
Cardinal Svampa's death occurred
before that of Father Salvi, and he
was succeeded by Cardinal della
Chiesa, who is now Pope Benedict.
Father Sa1vi's will was contested by
his relatives, on the ground that Car
dinal Svampa had died and that his
successor, having become Pope, could
not receive the legacy unless author
lied by special royal decree. Conse-
quently, it was held, neither of the
persons designated in the will could
receive the money.
The court has decided that the
present Archbishop of Bologna, Mgr.
Guzmani, was the only person entitled
to claim the inheritance.

PRESIDENT WILSON VETOED THE
MEASURE ON ACCOUNT or THE
PROPOSED LlTERAcY TEST FOR
THE ADMISSION OF ALIENS TO
THE UNITED STATES.

On January %, President Wilson
vetoed the immigration bill and sent
a special message to Congress saying
he disapproved the measure, because
of the literaey test and other restric-
tive tests which it proposes as con-
dition of admission Of immigrants to
the United States.
President Wilson's message, deliv-
cred to the House, was as follows: .
1t lis with unaffected regret that
find myself constrained by clear con-
viction to return this bill (H. r. 6060,
an act to regulate the immigration of
aliens to and the residence of aliens
ii the United States) without my sig
nature.
"In two particulars of vital conse-
quences, this bill embodies radical
departure from the traditional and
long established policy of this country,
a policy in which our people have con-
ceived the very character of their gov
ernment to be expressed, the very
mission and spirit of the nation in re-
spect of it's relations to the peoples of
the world outside their borders.
''It seeks to all but close entirely
the gates of asylum which always
have been open to those who could
find nowhere else the right and oppor-
tunity of constitutional agitation for
what they conceived to be the natural
and inalienable rights of men; and it
excludes those to whom the opportuni-
ties of elementary education have
been denied without regard to their
character, their purposes or their nat
ural capacity.
Restrictions like these adopted ear
lier in our history as a nation would
very materially have altered the
course and cooled the humane ardors
of our politics. The right of political
asylum has brought to this country

CATHOLIC WINS PRIZE
WINS CLERKSHIP IN NEW YORK
OVER Abs COMPETITORS
GRADUATE OF PARocHIAL
SCHOOL.

Four thousand one hundred and thir-
ty-five applicants for the position OF
second-grade clerk in the service of
the city of New York took the eX-
animation in August, 1914. Hundreds
failed to pass the test hundreds of
others passed The highest marks of
the successful candidates were attain
ed by Michael f. |. Walsh, twenty
years old, of Brooklyn, N. Y, who
reached the percentage of $3.50, one
full point higher than the next near
est competitor.
The splendid record made by young
Walsh is attributed by him and his
parents to the training which he re-
ceived at the hands of the franciscan
and Christian Brothers,. under whose
guidance he received his education
in the elementary and preparatory
branches. He is a graduate of st.
Paurs parish school, and of st. James
Academy, class of 1910. He is at pres.
ent student in the Fordham Univer-
sity law school.
This record made by a young man
whose entire training has been under
Catholic auspices is a strong argu
ment for the solidity of the prac
tical training given in the Catholic
parochial schools. The competitors
in this examination included gradu
ates of schools of all kinds, although
the public school products were pre-
dominant.

DAUGHTER ENTERS RELIGION.

Mr.. Kinball, ex-judge of Texarkana,
Texas, but making his home now in
Stamps, Ark, was received into the
Church recently by the pastor of st.
Marks Church, who resides in Hope,
Ark. Judge Kimball was preceded into
the Church by two of his daughters, one
of whom has become religious. The
family was of the Baptist faith and
their conversion resulted from an eX-
animation of the teaching Of the
Church. The daughters were led to
examine Catholic doctrine by listen
ing to the calumnies about the Church.
The result was, that both entered the
Church, one embracing the religious
state. Mrs. Kimball, wife of the judge,
is now under instruction.

My trust is in the Lord,
Unto His hand | cling,
My hiding-place shall be
The shadow of His wing,
Tniqnity shall pass away,
Thy mercy, Lord, will with us stay.
Let me cry out to God,
Who worketh good to me,
Who from His holy place
Sends help to make us free,
Who bendeth low beneath His rod,
The enemy that on us trod.
Ny God has sent His truth,
To free me from my foes,
Who like young lions crouch,
Should sleep mine eyelids close,
To leap on me with claws and teeth
Their tongues are swords drawn from
the sheath.
Be thou exalted, Lord,
Above the stars and sun,
Thy glory all the earth,
IN streams Of light o'errun,
A snare they wove my feet to win,
A pit they dug but fell therein.
My heart is ready, Lord,
Thy hymns and praise to sing,
Oh, let me rise betimes,
And harp and psaltery bring,
Thy praises, Lord, / will proclaim,
And magnify Thy holy name.

The Necessity of Religion in
Education.

Religion must be the prime motive
of education, being an integral part
thereof. Religion and science must
not be divorced, but must work hand
in hand; on this basis religion first
and secular knowledge second. Their
separation constitutes a crime against
the individual and the community.
View the most terrible and disastrous
consequences of so enormous an evil.
The school should furnish the child
with whatever the Church, the home
and the State justly expect of it. The
school that ignores God and fails to
reproduce Christ in the child is totally
false to these fundamental institu-
tions. Education should embrace in
its scope, the mortal body and the
immortal soul, the culture of the mind
and of the heart. The necessity OF
this, thinking men of the century be
gin to appreciate, impressed with the
