DECREE ON DANCES

entertainments and balls are held fol
the purpose of promoting pious prof
ects.'
But, as often happens in human
things, what was very wisely and just
ly ordered in the beginning gradually
commenced to fall into oblivion, and
the custom of holding balls again
fiourished and even spread into the
neighboring Dominion of Canada
Knowing these things, the Most
Eminent Fathers of the Sacred Con
sistorial Congregation, having consult
ed several local Ordinaries and having
subjected the matter to deep study,
concluded that the decision laid down
by the Third Council of Baltimore
must be obeyed; and with the appro-
baton of Our Most Holy Lord Bene-
dict XIV, Pope, they decreed that all
priests, secular and regular, and other
clerics are absolutely forbidden to
promote or foster the said balls, even
though in aid and in support of pious
works, or for any other pious end.
Moreover, all clerics are forbidden to
be present at these balls if they hap
pen to be promoted by laymen.
This decree the Sovereign Pontiff
ordered to become a part of public
law and to be religiously observed by
all, everything to the contrary not
Withstanding.

PRIESTS GREAT INVENTION
FATHER GLYNN OF BEAVER
FALLS, PA, lNvENTS DEVICE
TO STOP TRAINS WHEN IN
DANGER.

An automatic device by which trains
in danger are stopped without action
of either the trainmen or the tower
man, has been invented by the Rev.
Thomas ]. Glynn of Beaver Falls, Pa,
who explains the working of the in
vention as follows
THE invention is very simple in
form. A fine steel rod is attached at
one end of the arm on the signal tow
er. At the other end of the rod, near
the brake, lever is attached. When
the signal arm raises to the danger
sign and train-stop point, it pulls the
rod and lerects the track lever
Another lever is extended from the
engine of the passing train When
this engine lever comes in contact
with the brake lever it sets the air
brake and stops the train without the
aid of the engineer or the tower man. :"
Father Glynn seeks no patent, but
gives his invention to the world for
the good of humanity and the travel
ing public.

thoughts are straight; his actions are
true to his thoughts; if he is quick
tempered he will show it; if he is
dull he will be eager to learn; if he
is lazy he will feel ashamed.
One study after another will con-
tribute to his mental cultivation, for
he is as yet no specialist; the stalk
is not yet Topped of it's needful
branches. He is getting the differ
ence between instruction and educa-
tion. We are instructed, for instance,
in manual exercises, in the fine and
useful arts, in trades and in ways of
business; these are methods which
have little or no effect upon the mind
itself; which bear upon an end ex-
ternal to themselves. But education
is higher word; it implies an action
upon our mental nature and the
formation Of character; it is some
thing individual and permanent, and
is commonly spoken of in connection
with religion and virtue. This is the
view of great minds like Newman's:
and this is the reason why we still
inscribe upon the sheepskin the
qualification of talent and of charac-
ter-bono ingenio ct probis moribus.
A deal of rhodomontads has been
written and spoken about character,
as ii 1t were a notwithstanding in
vention or patent of the puritan con-
science. This whole character theory
may be summed up in few aphorisms
such as, IAN honest mans the noblest
work of God;" or, worth makes the
man and want of it the fellow" or
better still, ito have good character
is to be a good Christian" Now a
good Christian always has the rudi-
ments of a gentleman; but school
or college should not be content with
mere goodness of character; it should
aim at refining the character. How?
BY insisting on the liberal arts.

tbs old studs which this eaual.y
Is shedding to her ruin-were called
the humanities or studies which made
men not only human but humane.
And why? Because, unlike the study
of mechanisms and ledgers, they
stirred the moral and the aesthetic
sense-the twin imperishable chords
of the Beautiful and the Good. The
Roman bridges and aqueducts are in
ruins, while the Roman prose and
poetry defy the ravages of time; the
bank account of Croesus is lost, but
the debt of generations to Cicero re-
mains.

The commencement exercises of the
College of st. Catherine, st. Paul,
which is conducted by the Sisters of
st. Joseph, were held in the Jeanne

noon of this week. A short program
cf Shakespearean choruses preceded
the conferring of the degree of Bach

Today the college is like a mother
bird which broods over her nestlings
for the last time. Her graduating
product grows more varied each year;
and it is difficult to find words OF
farewell that apply equally to all
Some are of mature and others OF
lesser growth many will continue in
state of pupilage elsewhere; not
few will have to face life directly
whether at the desk, on the road, or
on the farm. A speaker is therefore
handicapped by the diversity of the
graduating stream; he stands hesitant
on the bank of this modern Maeander.
Locally speaking, however, he will
find compass for his remarks in
three points of the testimonium which
each of our candidate bachelors will
receive on next Friday. On each
testimonium it is written that the
recipient is bono ingenio, i. e., of good
ability; probis moribus, l. e., of proper
character; and litteris feliciter ex-
CULTS, i. e., successful in the liberal
Using studies. That these are no mere
parchment words when applied to our
composite group of graduates, Il am
tolerably well assured. AS an old
member of this college, to which |
came when it was struggling in
means, though never struggling in
ability, | take prescriptive as well
as humanistic pride in the realization
of many an uphill effort and many a
plodding year; and l can feel with the
Trojan exile

Yes, we are heading at last in

Mars, and the cadets laurel yields to

things involved, quality of mind,
quality of heart, quality of education !:

Quality of mind is to large extent
hereditary: thoroughbred breeds
thoroughbred But even the mind
which is dull is improvable, and be-
cause it is improbable, teachers under
take the task and parents are trust
full Of results. The mind of a boy,
born of honest parents, coming to a
Catholic school, is simple, frank, pure.
Much will depend upon what is written
into that virgin page by his masters,
but especially by his companions.
In the choice of the latter he is left
entirely to himself; his studies are
directed, but not his comradeships.
The opening petals of his mind are
refreshed with the morning dew of
holy Mass and nurtured with the
diurnal rays of school-boy knowledge.

THEIR PLACE IN THE sun
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Helen Hughes Hielscher.)

The red sun rises Ger the hills,
The hungry fiedglings cry,
And the dewdrops shake from the
trembling spray,
AS the morning winds steal by,
But the air is sick with the steady
tramp
OF men going out to die.
They had their "place in the sun,
these men;
In front of their cottage door,
Beneath the lintels brown with age
Where their fathers sat before,
But word was brought that their over.

Desired some sunshine more.
They had their place in the home,
these men,
Where they were lord and head,
And helpless children round their
knees,
Looked up to them for bread
The little ones are hungry now,
Their fathers being dead.
]
Ye nations that drown your sons in
blood,
Ye shall ''sit in the sun" alone,
And the untitled fields shall mock
your eyes
With flowers of the rain-washed bone;
You shall look in vain for the trace OF
men,
Where the hearths are overthrown.

When the body of John Crosby
Devereux was laid to rest in Calvary
cemetery last Tuesday, the grave
closed over the mortal remains of a
man who deserved we'll of Church and
State; a man who, up to the date of
his death, showed himself a devoted
Catholic, and who in the days of his
vigorous manhood proved his loyalty
to his adopted land during the strenu-
ous years of the Civil War.
For many years i'll health and the
infirmities consequent upon advanc-
ing years prevented Captain DevereuX
from taking very active part in
public affairs; but he never ceased to
show a decided interest in them.
When death entered his home in this
city on Sunday afternoon, June 4, it
found him not unprepared for the
summons. Fortified with the last
rites of the Church which he loved,
he yielded up his soul into the hands
of his Creator.
The funeral took place from the
Cathedral of st. Paul on Tuesday
morning when a Mass of Requiem was
celebrated by the pastor, Rev. T. j.
Gibbons, V. G.. The Most Reverend
Archbishop, who had been lifelong
friend of the deceased, paid final
tribute to his sterling worth and char
acter
Captain Devereux was born in the
city of Wexford, Ireland, on April so
1881, and came to the United States
seven years later with his father who
settled in Pittsburgh, Pa, where he
engaged in the manufacture of paper
The son was educated in that city

The Hague, Netherlands, May TO-
One of the latest suggestions put
forward by some well known advo-
Gates Of a stronger Dutch fleet is
that a big order for submarines
shall be placed IN America. At
present, save for some half a dozen
submarines and two cruisers that are
either definitely. building or have
been ordered, nothing is being done
in the way Of new construction. The
Minister for the Navy, Capt. J. ].
Rambonnet, argues that no definite
conclusions can yet be drawn from
the naval war; but It is poi1ted out
that the value of the submarine is
already beyond all doubt. Holland
Is. however, dependent on foreign
countries for certain parts of the
highly specialized under water craft.
"But why not go to America if the
German wharves cannot do any
thing?" asks a well known retired
naval officer and advocate of naval
reinforcement, J. van der Elst. I'M

already obtained there during the
