DEATH OF. BISHOP DOEBB|NG.
A GERMAN FRANCISCAN WHO BE-
CAME A NATURALIZED ITALIAN
WHEN APPOINTED TO THE DID,
CESE OF SUTRI AND NEPI.

Following an operation for tumor
on the liver in private hospital in
Rome, the Right Rev. Mgr. Doebbing,
Bishop of Sutri and Nepi, passed away
on the morning of March Il. lie was
attended in his last moments by Faith
er Ercole, o. F. NJ, parish priest of
st. Francesca a Ripa, where he had
resided since his temporary retire
ment from his diocese some months
ago in consequence of the persistent
attacks of some of his people owing
to his being German.
Mgr. Doebbing was siXty-one years
old at the time of his death. He had
been a member of the Order of Friars
Minor since his early youth. In St.
Isodoro of the Irish Franciscans
Father Doebbing filled the Office of
superior for some years, during which
he made very decided effort to con-
vert this institution, which Father
Luke Wadding purchased and renovat-
ed, into a German monastery. He af-
forwards became Administrator ApOs-
tolic of the Abbey of the Three Foun-
tains, and some years later he was
named Bishop and Sutri and Nepi by
Leo XIII, and became naturalized
Italian.

From Ahmednager, British India,
where he and other German priests
are confined in a concentration camp,
the Rev. Basilius Megle, G. M. S. f.,

it will sternly suppress its little

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
HOW THE DRINK HABIT AFFECTS
EFFICIENCY.

Writing about a year ago in the
Scientific Temperance Journal, Ger
hardt Ramps, of Appleton, Wis,
Manager of the Safety and Efficiency
Department of the Riverside Fibre
and Paper Company, of that place,
declared the drink habit to be, with
out doubt, the most troublesome and
most unsatisfactory condition in in
dustries, because it has no aim in
uplifting or lettering the condition Of
man. 1t creates the inefficient en-
ployee.
The safety first" movement has
struck at the saloon habit-the habit
of dropping in for a drink before go
ing to work, and for another at noon.
"The employee knows exactly where
we stand OH this score" says Mr..
Ramps. Such practises are abso-
lutely forbidden, and should a man
enter our premises and be detected as
under the influence of liquor, we are
very careful not to allow him to pro-
coed with his work. We suspend him
| for the day, and on his return he is
advised that q repetition OF this
nature means dismissal. The manu-
facturer knows this type of man is
a hindrance to the producing end of
his business and further understands
that he is good victim for accidents,
which fact again proves that the
| power of efficiency is lessened by the
drink habit
| Seventy per cent of accidents are
traceable, according to Mr.. Ramps
figures, to drinking men, and this on
account of their inability to fOresee
the points of danger as rapidly as Il
| man free from the habit. Accidents
are expensive to both manufacturer
and to the injured. The manufacture
er's accident insurance rate is based
on the hazards of the establishment,
and where accidents occur frequently,
the rate is based in proportion. The
| injured receives but sixty-five per
cent of the weekly wage, in case of
disability, after the seventh day,
| therefore losing thirty-fiye per cent
of his weekly earnings and all Of the
wage he would have earned the first
seven days.
This certainly dcprivcs the family
of some necessities, on the other hand
it affects efficiency because a new man
| must take his post, and it may take
some time to have this man become
an adept.
These facts being known, there is
but one alternative, and that is to
become total abstainers in order to
increase your efficiency for the manu-
facturer, and to immuniZe yourself
from accidents for the sake of your
families, and if you can not master
the situation on this score, at least
become a more moderate drinkcr.
Manufacturers and any and all
classes of employers are dropping
drinking men from their list of en-
ployees. This is certainly the most
/ practical temperance lesson ever
taught All these institutions are
simply looking for eficiency~that they
may increase their producing powers.

other systems Of chronology. The
Romans from As b. G. had used the
reformed Julian calendar; there were
also the Egyptian and the Syro-Mace-
DOMAIN calendars. The foundation of
the Jewish calendar was the lunar
year of 354 days, whilst the other
system depended on the solar year. In
consequence the first days of the Jew
ish months and years did not coin
eide with any fixed days of the Roman
solar year.
The connection between the Jewish
and the Christian Pasch explains the
movable character Of the feast. Easter
has no fixed date, like Christmas, be-
cause the 18th of Nissan Of the Semi
tic calendar was shifting from date
to date on the Julian calendar. Since
Christ, the true Paschal Lamb, had
been slain on the very day when the
Jews, in celebration of their Passover,
inundated the figurative lamb, the
Jewish Christians in the Orient fol-
lowed the Jewish method and COM
memOrated the death of Christ OH the
10Th of Nissan no matter on what
day OF the week it fell. For this
observance they claimed the authori-
ty of st. John and st. Philip.
In the rest of the empire another
consideration predominated Every
Sunday of the year was commence
ration of the Resurrection of Christ
which had occurred on Sunday. Be
cause the Sunday after II Nissan was
the historical day of the Resurrection,
at Rome this Sunday became the
Christian feast Of Easter. Easter was
celebrated at Rome and Alexandria
on the first Sunday after the first full
moon after the spring equinox and
the Church claimed for this observ-
ance the authority of SIS. Peter and
Paul. The spring equinox in Rome
fell on March 25th; in Alexandria on
March 21st.
At Antioch Easter was kept on the
Sunday after the Jewish Passover. In
Gaul, number of Bishops, wishing to
escape the difficulties of the pasch1l
computation, seem to have assigned
Easter to fixed date of the Roman
calendar, celebrating the death OF
Christ on March 25th, His Resurrec
ton on March 9th, since already in
the third century March Goth was
considered the day of the crucifxion
This practice was of short duration.
Many calendars in the Middle Ages
contain these same dates for purely
historical, not liturgical reasons. The
Montanists in Asia Minor kept Easter
on the Sunday after April 9th. The
First Council of Nicea $3.50, how
ever, decreed that the Roman practice
should be observed throughout the
Church.

REMAINS Reinforced
BODY OF BISHOP FENWlcK OF
CINCINNATI REMOVED TO NEW
BURIAL PLACE.

On March "a the remains of Right
Reverend Edward Tenwick, the Dom
inican missionary and first Bishop of
Cincinnati, Ohio, were removed from
the crypt beneath the high altar of
st. Peters Cathedral, where they had
rested for the last eighty-three years,
and were transferred to the mauso-
leum in the new st. Joseph cemetery,
Price Hill. The coffin was opened
after being taken from the crypt,
Archbishop Moeller and one priest of
the Archdiocese being present.
A bronze. cross, found upon the top
of Bishop Fenwick's coffin, was re-
moved by the Archbishop, and this
most interesting memento was pre-
scented to the Fenwick Club, the home
and club for young men located at
319 Broadway, Cincinnati.

EASTER IN JERUSALEM
HOLY SEPULCHER Is GUARDED
BY CHRISTIANS NIGHT
AND DAY.

At Easter time, when throughout
Christendom the suffering, death,
burial and resurrection of Christ are
SO wildly described, the thoughts Of
many millions are concentrated upon
Jerusalem. After all these centuries
many doubtless wonder what care is
taken of the actual tomb of Christ.
And how does it appear?
Although in land ruled by Moham-
medans, the holy sepulcher is never
without its guard of Christians night
or day. In this task four faiths
Catholic, Greek, Coptic and Armenian
ARE represented by monks.
While the Copts, as Christian de-
scendants of the ancient Egyptians are
termed, are not so numerous as the
others. they have their chapels in the
Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and
their priests live in an adjoining mon
astery.
By three of these guardian bodies
the sacred liturgy is celebrated every
day, beginning at midnight. The
Greeks officiate first, the Armenians

next and the Franciscan Catholics
last.
Each has numerous chapels in the
Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and
each concentrates every effort toward
preserving intact the rights acquired
through centuries of occupation.
Yet over all these rules the Turk.
1t is he who holds the key to the
sacred door, exacting tribute from all
who enter except at certain hours of
the day. Even the monks are
obliged to pay.
Moreover, never a festival is cele-
brated that MOslem soldiers are not
stationed in the vestibule Ito preserve
order in the church, as they view it.
These guards never fail to make their
presence felt.
III spite of the humiliation heaped
upon them, however, the Christian
guardians remain at their post of
duty, never ceasing their vigilance,
that the tomb Of the Lord may be pre-
served.
The most impressive Christian pro.
cession in Jerusalem is seen when the
Greek patriarch in all the splendor OF
the insignia of his church enters the
holy sepulcher on Easter Sunday. AS
the procession arrives at the entrance
of the sepulcher the bells stop ring.
ing, a profound silence oVertakes the
multitude Of pilgrims, and then the
patriarch says his first prayer, the
Turkish soldiers present arms, and a
few minutes later the procession
enters the church.

THE ST. PAUL ACADEMY AND
THE MIDDLE AGES.

!. The st. Paul academy Of this
city i'll It's new prospectus heralds
the advantages it has in store for
the fortunate youths whose mental
horizon it is willing to widen. 1t
will henceforth be a country day
school. The manifold superiority
which the Academy in its new
role claims over boarding schools
forms the real theme and thesis of
the prospectus. This Wanted
superiority we could, did we so
wish, reasonably dispute. 1t is a
commonplace that the .Etons and
Rugbys and Harrows have. man
ned the British Empire, !" and
the immense number of boarding
schools in our own country, and
tue important part they have
played i'll the life of the nation.
since it's earliest days, are OUT
standing proofs that they meet a
need for which day schools make
no adequate provision. We shall
not, however, stop to challenge
the advertising logic of the Acadz
envy, but we must join issue with
it on point Of history. In it's
Indictment of boarding schools it
makes a statement which is mis-
leading and calculated to give Of
Tense to fair-minded people in
general and to Catholics i'll partic-
ular. The unfortunate passage is
as follows: Again, the boarding
school is but the enlarged and
developed life on the monastery
of the Middle Ages, and is in a
measure prone to the same evils
that permeated those institu-
tions. These words are repro
duced from a lucubration on
boarding schools by a Mr.. Joseph
Dana Allen, Headmaster OF u
country day school i'll Buffalo.
Now, it must occur to any man of
common sense that it should be
possible for the st. Paul Academy
to bring out a prospectus Of eight
pages without making an attack
on the monasteries of the Middle
Ages. Such an attack in such a
place would be highly humorous
were it not quite so grotesque.

stance, that without them we
should have been as ignorant of
history as children, and, as to the
alleged "evils, = it is equally pro-
verbal that monastic schools arose
from a protest against vice and
corruption. The Academy should
not be ignorant of the story, nor
should it underrate the intelfi-
gence Of its patrons who surely

CHOICE BETWEEN BREAD AND
BEER.

Mr.. Alfred Booth, Chairman of the
Cunard Steamship Company, lately
made a strong speech at Liverpool.
He said: "The most glaring example
of form of consumption which we
could perfectly weH dispense with is
the drink traffic. / am not thinking
now of the temperance side of this
question. Important though that is.
we have got far beyond that now. /
am thinking Of the demand which
the trade makes upon the services
OF our ships, our railways and carts,
and of our labor. Thirty thousand
tons q week of barley and other pro-
duce are brought into this country
for the brewing and distilling trades.
Think of the demand which this
means on the depleted resources of
our mercantile marine. Then all this
stuff, together with the larger guam
tity which is grown at home, has to
be carted and hauled by rail to the
brewery or distillery. Then it has
to be brought back again and dis
tributed to the consumer In addition
to this, G,000 miners are kept per
manently employed getting coal, and
thirty-six thousand tons of coal have
to be sent every week to these
breweries and distilleries. Taken in
the aggregate, the services absorbed
by this trade are on gigantic scale
and the net result of it all is a
decrease in national efficiency. | say
in all seriousness, that if we are to
maintain our armies in the field, we
shall before long have to choose
between bread and beer"
