The woman suffrage movement, for
good or for i'll, has cleared the cities
of the coast of social centers of very
undesirable kind; for prohibition in
the states of Oregon and Washington
is duly accredited to them. That
saloons are social centers, there is no
denying. That they had some attrac-
tive features is attested by their
popularity That in their long reign
they inspired even one of their
habitues with noble thought or
aspiration is more than doubtful
They are gone now and the controlling
of the sale of liquor is up to the state.
1t is a big job, but not an impossible
one; and with the women, the mothers
of the boys OF the country, to jack up
the officers, we may look for the ac-
complishment of a good work we'll be-
gun. And it is to the everlasting glory
of women that their first move in the
political world was to fling the pro-
tecting arms Of their new and hard
won power around their boys.
In the meantime the saloon is gone
with its red lights, and it's red cur
tains, and it's warmth, and its free
and easy manners, and it's drinks
| that broke down the barriers between
strangers and turned the shyness of
boys into a delightful bravadO, and
made the ward-heeler the bosom
| friend of every man that had vote.
1t is gone and its place is being
filled in the streets by butcher shops,
grocery stores and banks that its de-
parture made possible. But where is
the institution to fill up the void made
in the social life of its patrons? Per-
hapS you will answer, They will now
spend their evenings and other spare
time at home" But what of the thou
sands who have no home, and what
of the thousands who have cherries,
loveleSs homes? The public libraries
will take few. The Y. NJ. C. A. will
take few more, and the different par
sh societies will also lend their aid,
| but what about the men who cant
change their heavy working shoes be-
cause they have no others; who can't
| dOff their overallS for the same rea-
son? Marble pillars and tiled floors
and floods of electric light are not in
viting to them, they must, indeed, fore
so the social glass, but why must they
also forego all the little comforts that
went with it.
| The saloon man furnished them,
free, clubroom according to their
tastes, while at the same time he col
lected rich bounty at the bar, for all
these accommodations.
The Catholic Church has always
been alive to the wants of humanity,
whether spiritual or corporal, and we
may hope to see, as the saloon dis
appears, small clubs established in
public places, unconventional warm
and kindly in atmosphere as it was,
but without it's deadly poison, it's lure
to forbidden things, and it's atmos-
phere of intrigue and crime

THE PROPAGATION OF THE FAITH
REV. j. A. BYRNEs, DIOCESAN d.
RECTOR, is GIVING RENEWED
IMPETUS TO THE WORK FOR
FOREIGN MISSIONS.

The Society for the Propagation OF
the Faith, to the Diocesan Directorshir
of which the Most Rev. Archbishop re-
Gently appointed the Rev. James A
Byrnes of st. Paul Seminary, opened
it's office at the Seminary during the
past week. From this Office Father
Byrnes and corps of seminarians
will direct a movement having for OBJ
ject to awaken interest in the cause
of the foreign missions among the two
hundred and sixty thousand Catholics
of the Diocese of st. Paul.
Although the task of better &C

cent work for souls which Catholic
missionaries are doing in fields afar

fee, much has been already accom-
plished during the past summer. The
claims of the Society have been pre-.
sented in some twenty parishes of the
Diocese, and in each place fourishing
parochial branches have been estab.
lished.
The Society for the Propagation of
the Faith recruits it's members princi.
pally from adult Catholics. In order,
however, that the children, too, may
imbibe the missionary spirit and do
their share toward the spread of
Christs Kingdom in foreign lands, the
Holy Childhood Association, already
existing in the Diocese, will be re-or-
ganized and placed under the same di.

his hand when picked up after his
fall from sixth story window, the
most plausible theory being that the
intense heat had compelled him to go
to the window to get fresh air, and
that he accidentally lost his balance
on account Of the unusually low win
dow sill.
The tragedy recalls an incident that
occurred in the year 1870. The writer
and two other students at St. Johns
College, viz. John Caulfield of St. Paul
and Harry Lambert, determined in
stead of going home for the Easter
holidays, to visit Father Tomazin at
his Indian mission at Grow Wing.
Accordingly, they provided themselves
with a shot gun, an ak, several
blankets and a few loaves of bread
and set out on foot for the Indian
country. Their meat consisted Of
robins and frog legs secured on the
way. The first night they camped in
a deserted saw mill near Little Falls,
and the second evening arrived tired
and footsore after a fifty mile hike at
Father Tomazin's residence. The
house was full of Indians, and Father
TomaZin gave up his own room to the
new arrivals. The next day being
Good Friday the impressive services
of the Church were conducted with
unusual solemnity, the newly arrived
students from st. Johns taking the
part of altar boys, acolytes and dea-
con and subdeacon wherever possible.
Thus the Passion" was chanted for
the first time in those western wilds,
Father Tomazin taking the part of
the Narrator" the late Louis
Demeules, another student of St.
Johns who had arrived a few days
earlier, singing the "Christus," and
the writer the part of the 'Turba"
Only the previous year the writer
had spent Holy Week in Rome in the
days of Plus TX where the ceremonies
of the Church were carried out with
all the splendor and magnifcence
characteristic of the center of Chris
tendon. 1t was startling contrast,
but striking testimony to the unity
and universally of Catholicity. for
there, on the outskirts of civilization,
before a congregation of tawney
American Indians and halfbreeds,
were used the same Latin tongue, the
same sacred vestments and the same
Gregorian chant. Father Tomazin
was the apostle who bore the light of
Christianity to that far distant COM
munity in the New World. May he
rest in peace.

SAN SILVEsTRO IN CAP|TE
ROMAN CHURCH SAID TO HAVE
BEEN BUILT IN 261.

The Church of San Silvestro in Ca
pite, the church of the English-speak-
ing Catholics in Rome, is said to have
been built. by st. Dionysius in 261.
Paul !, after erecting monastery
and oratory in honor of Popes Syl-
vester and Stephen, on the site of his
own house adjoining, rebuilt the
church, which was in the same
grounds, and dedicated it, as it would
appear, to st. Dionysius of Denis.
Paul l brought here, from the cata-
combs of st. Cali1tus, vast numbers
of the bodies of saints and martyrs,
hence the church was called for a
long time by various authors the
Cemetery of Cemeteries on account
of the enormous number of relics.
Nine popes are buried here. Among
the saints is the martyr saint of the
Blessed Sacrament, st. Tarcisius,
whom Cardinal Wiseman graphically
describes in "Fabiola." The st. Denis
was probably the patron of France,
for Paul | had dwelt there some time
and been given hospitality by King
Pepin in monastery dedicated to st.
Denis.
The title of st. Denis fell into dis.
use after the transfer, later on. of the
bodies of SIS. Sylvester AMI Stephen
from the oratory to the church. The
name of St Sylvester prevailed and
in the course of time became the only
one used.
The appellation in Capite. of course
comes from the fact that the head OF
St. John the Baptist has been kept
there for many centuries.

to learn that there was no evidence

already signifed their desire to parti-
cipate in this work of God, and it is

The Reverend Director invites the
readers of The Catholic Bulletin to
consider the following facts:
1. There are 1000 million human
beings upon the earth at the present
time.
2. Two-thirds of this vast multitude
Zone billion souls) are in complete ig-
norance of even the fundamentals of
Christian teaching; they constitute
the pagan and heather world.
3. The soul of the pagan and the
heather is just as dear to the Sacred
Heart as is yours and mine.
4. The blood of the Lamb of God
was shed just as truly for the Redemp-
ton of these children of darkness as
for our Redemption.
5. We render glory to God when
We become instrumental in bringing
the light of the Gospel to those who
possess it not.
6. We perform the most perfect act
of brotherly love when we assist in
planting the Kingdom of Christ in the
pagan and heather heart.

8. There are fifteen thousand

upwards of fifteen hundred orphan

10. Catholic missionaries, like Prot

pendent upon the offerings of their CO.
religionists for the maintenance and
extension of their undertakings.
II. Professionals generally are more
keenly aware of their obligations

lies.
II. Professionals of the United
States gave $18,793,99O during the
year 1915 for the works of their for
eign missions; Catholics gave ono

five cents of the Catholics dollar ac-
tually reaches the missionary in the

IA. Two-thirds of the money con.
tributed by Catholics for the prOpaga~
| ton of the faith has been supplied in
the past by nations now suffering from
the scourge of war; little or nothing
can be expected of them for years to
come.
Is. The Society for the Propaga-
ton of the Faith and The Holy Child
hood Association, whose common OBJ
ject it is to assist the missionaries in
the field by prayer and aims, are re-
doubling their efforts, at this critical
moment to interest the faithful in the
work of foreign missions.

tablished in the Diocese of st. Paul

Irish Drama.
The few dramatists of the nine

the Irish Theatre have, think, little
| Importance in literature. In 1898, the
Irish Literary Theatre was founded
by William Rooney, with the help of
George Russell and James Cousins.
The best of the plays that it produced
were Edward Martyrs Heather
Field George Russells "Deirdre," and
| William Yeats Kathleen Nj Houli-
ham," This venture was succeeded in
1900 by the Irish National Theatre
The history of this undertaking and of
| it's struggle against what seemed in
surmountable odds is told by Lady
| Gregory in Our Irish Theatre" In
a few years, more than two hundred
plays were produced, and the COM
pany of players has been recognized,
not only in Ireland, but also in Eng
land and in America, as true artists.
Among the authors whose work has
| earned for them international fame
are Yeats, Synge, Martyr, Russell

Irish Prose Writers.
AS rule, Anglo-Irish prose has not
the distinct characteristics of Anglo
Irish verse. | make an exception in
favour of Charles James Hickman,
whose works are chiefly records of
the peasant speech. The chief Irish
noVelists whose fame has gone outside
the four shores of Erin are Miss Edge
worth, Carleton, Lover, Lever, Banim,
Emily Lawless, and Gerald Griffin.
| Some more recent writer's who have
achieved fame are Canon Sheehan,
Jane Barlow, George Birmingham and
| George Moore. OF orators we have
| Burke, Grattan, Flood, Curran, EN-
NETT, O'Connell, Butt and numerous
others. Political essayists have been
numerous in Ireland-the most notable
were Tone, Davis, Fintan Lalor, John
Mitchell, Arthur Griffith, Lecky and
| Patrick Pierse. OF several other
| classes of Irish literature | have not
even made mention, but, from what
has been written, the purpose and
scope of the new Irish library must be
| apparent. 1t is intended that all
books relating to Ireland in even the
most remote way shall be included in
the collection. SO far as America is
concerned, the library will be unique.
| The only attempt of this kind previ-
ously made in America was in the
| Pratt library in Baltimore, where there
is collection of Anglo-Irish litera-
ture that is greater than any other
outside of Ireland. But the intention
is that the new Irish library in st.
| Paul shall be inferior only to the great
Irish libraries in the Royal Irish Acad-
envy and the National Library in Dub
lin, and it shall be inferior to them
| owing to the fact that it will lack the
great collection of original Irish man
uscripts which they possess.

There used to be an old superstition
that it was bad luck to drink a toast
with a person standing behind the
drinker. The reason for the supersd-
ton is this:
Edward the Martyr by the contriV-
ance of his stepmother, Elfrida, was
stabbed in the back as he was drink
ing. 1t Is said that from this AFFAIR
arose the custom Of having the man
en- either side Of the toast dr1nker
pAedge him. According to William OF
MaImesbury, 1t was the usage when
person was about to drink health to
ask q nelghbor at the board to pledge

Rinaa on Oyster Shells.

A popular theory about rings on an
oyster shell being an indication OF its
age is not supported by the careful In
vestigation Of Miss Ann L. Massey, who
tested specimens from the oyster sta
ton at Ardfry, at the head Of Galway
bay. 1t has been supposed by many
that each ring, or group, on the oysters
deep valve stood for years growth.
But Miss Massey says that this deduc-
ton is not reliable. After a patient
scrutiny of over 600 samples Of various
ages, from eighteen months to six
years, she says: can oyster of eight
cen months or two summers appears
to possess at least two rings, but may
have as many as FIVE. One of three
summers has at least two rings and
may have six. A fOur-year-old oyster
may have only three rings or may pos

Thrifty Actors.

The economy Of stock company oe-
fered interesting instances here at the
old Boston museum. Some Of the
actors had no intention Of letting grass
grow under idle feet. One player was
a barber by day; another, the beloved
''Smithy," was a tailor-very properly,
the tailor played fops. 1 had p0rtic-
ular friend who was q cab driver.
Who shall point the finger Of scorn
that these had two strings to their
bow? Their example might be well
followed. An honest barber or, for
that matter, an honest cab driver
may be the noblest work OF God And
well may the actors study Of mankind
be multiplied a thousandfold by the
scraping Of innumerable chins or the
driving Of the accidental wayfaRer
