CATHOLIC IN ITALIAN MINISTRY
sIGNoR MEDIA ACCEPTS. PORT
FOLIO UNDER PREMIER Ros-
ELLl--No CHANGE IN VATICAN
POLICY.

A new Italian ministry has been
formed underline presidency of Signor
Boselh. 1t comprises representatives
of all the parties and groups in the
chamber of deputies, with the excepi
tion of the Socialists. Premier BoseIii
pleaded hard with Signor Media, lead
er of the Catholics who are members
of the chamber of deputies, to accept
position in his cabinet, contending
that, as the new ministry is essentially
national in character, aimingsto repre-
sent al parties, and to entid the sup
port of all patriotic Italians on ac-
count of the war, it would be anoma-
lous if Catholics had norepresentative
in it, especially in view Of their splen-
did example of patriotism at the front
and of loyalty to the government in
the chamber Of deputies. Taking
these special circumstances into con-
SigDor Media has accepted
a portfolio in the Boselli cabinet. His
joining the ministry is an historically
interesting event, inasmuch as 1t is
the first time that practical and
acknowledged Catholic has accepted a
post in an Italian cabinet It has,
however, ELECTED no comment in the.
political journals, all of them recog-
nizipg tacitly that the exceptional
exisencies of the present time justified
Premier Boselli's efforts to secure the
services of Signor Media as one of
his colleagues in the government.
X The ""Osseryatore Romano COM
menting on the inclusion of Signor
Media in the new italian cabinet,
declares that his presence there must.
not be regarded as having any con-
nection whatever with the official
of the Holy See, which is
now, as always, neutral and impartial.
Signor Media, it adds, does not official
ly represent any Catholic organization,
nor does he represent any Catholic
party, inasmuch as
there is none in existence.

new ORLEANS CATHEDRAL
HISTORY OF ST. LOUIS CHURCH,
FOR THE vATIoN or
WHICH FUNDS ARE BEING COL
LECTED.

The Catholics of New Orleans, I'M
der the direction of the Most Reverend
Archbishop Blenk of that See, are
engaged in campaign for funds to
restore the old st. Louis Cathedral In
that city which is one of the most
famous historic buildings in the South
and is inseparably linked with the
history Of New Orleans and of the
State of Louisiana
The site upon which the Cathedral
stands is the one which was desfg-
mated for it by the first Governor of
the Province of Louisiana. In con-
formity with the wishes of Bienville
and his colonists the church was
named st. Louis. The original struc-
ture was destroyed by hurricane in
1928, and ten years later more sub
.stantial church was erected which
served until it succumbed to the
ravages of fire in the year 1888. The
erection of new edifice was i'm
mediately undertaken and through the
munificence of Don Andre Aimonester
y Roxas a more pretentfous building
was reared, the construction of which
was not completed until 1874. Addi-
tional work was done on the towers in
1874, and the belfry was erected in
1924. In 1850, the principal tower col.
lapsed and it was then discovered that
the walls of the church was insecure.
The needed repairs were made and the
building was enlarged. In 1891, the
towers were struck by lightning caus
| ing considerable damage and neces
stating extensive repairs. Since then
the building has been used for relig
ious services but the need of a
| thorough renovation became apparent
of late years and 1t is for the purpose
of securing funds to make the neces
sary repairs that the present campaign
| is being carried on The appeal is
not to Catholics only but to all citizens
irrespective of creed who know how
| intimately this historic church is in
| terwoven with the history of tht
growth and development of Louisiana

SET ON COTTAGE

and in few days the land will be
cleared, rustic seats arranged and the
beach itself improved.
A tennis court at the foot of Seton
Cliff is being prepared now and the
girls are awaiting eagerly for the day
when it will be at their disposal The
girls at the Cottage are all just now
determined to excel in the art of
swimming. A girl familiar with one or
two of the celebrated beaches on the
Atlantic coast has just finished three
weeks stay at Seton Cottage and her
appreciation of the beach there has
helped to turn all the girls toward the
water. Nearly three hundred girls
registered at Seton Cottage during
June. On last Sunday alone there
were seventy-fiye. The growing pop
ularity of this secluded vacation home
under the best Catholic auspices gives
much encouragement to its promoters,
who have already begun plans for en-
larging the cottage.

THE ORPHANS OUTING

Past the west end of the parade
sgfouna the cars sped through the
woods to the beautiful Lake of the
Isles. Around the winding, beautiful
boulevard that skirts the arms of
this lake and Calhoun the autos
whirled and then, with a gener-
GUS glimpse of Lake Harriet, the boys
caught the fragrance of the celebrated
rose gardens and had scarcely time to
admire the gigantic peonies lining the
boulevard before they were out upon
the Kings Highway" southwark
bound. Out Lyndale they hurried and
on into the country where gardens and
groves and waving grain delighted the
eyes and filled the lungs with the
sweet pure, untainted air of heaven.
The route lay through Richfeld,
Edgewood and Bloomington, and at
every place the boys woke the echoes
with their hilarious shouts. The men
and women and children in the fields
returned with good humored smiles
the greetings of the waving flags and
caps. Now and then the picnickers
caught sight of the Minnesota river;
but it was only when they neared the
club house of the Minneapolis Auto
mobile Club opposite Savage that full
view of the beautiful river and it's
wide valley was had.
The club stands on the crest of a
hill overlooking the valley of the Min
nesota and commanding a magnificent
yinHr - Al
rich woodlands. meadows and fields
along its course. The party arrived
there before noon; men we're at hand
| to direct each chauffeur as to placing
his car and soon the four hundred boys
and girls were romping at will over
the smooth lawns and through the
groves of venerable oaks and elms.
A hundred motherly women we're in
the meantime preparing the picnic
baskets and crates and soon the sand
4 wiches and coffee and cakes and other
] toothsome supplies were at the dispos-
al of fingers and forks and keen appe-
| tites.
The men and women of the party,
about one hundred in number, were
L
in the big dining rooms.
| AT one o'clock a dozen sturdy men
carried several big freezers of ice
cream out to where the children were
just finishing lunch and in two min
utes the men with their coats off were
dishing out ice cream cones to four
lconverging lines of boys and girls.
The men worked hard to fill the hands
of the waiting boys and girls and after
half an hour one of the workers
lstraightened up from his work over
the ice cream freezer and remarked
that the boys and girls seemed to
come and go, but the lines, like Tenny-
sons brook, seemed to be coming on
forever. At last, however, the lines
themselves melted away with huge
quantities of ice cream still on hand.
just about that time the baseball
team of the Catholic Orphan Home
quietly grouped themselves on ris-
| Ing ground and began rather timidly
to sing America" At once all faces
. were turned to the singers and in a
moment hats were off and every noise
hushed to hear the boyish voices.

Travelling the entire distance in

arrived in Laredo, Texas, on June %
from Mexico City en- route to the head
quarters of the Order at Baltimore,

capital, said their train was met by
infuriated Mexican mobs at many sta

Mother Dolores, Spanish nun,
declared the anti-American propa-

Several Americans, she said. we're
taken from the train at Gonzales, near
San Luis Potosi, by Carranza au-

Mexican officials who made open

tons will be of grandfathers who, by
virtue of that fine native American
longheadedness, delivered the goods

suitably rewarded. But there will be
few traditions of courtliness, scant
reminders that noblesse oblige, and
but scattered memories of inherited re-
