remained after continual alarms. But
the Blessed Sacrament was still in the
church, and the good people, without
priest and without a hope of one,
felt troubled as to what to do, not
wishing to depart and leave the Lord
behind.
Nov what course did that pious
population composed of souls of SIM
pie faith and delicate consciences
adopt? The ingenious and moving
way in which provision was made for
the consumption of the Sacred Species
brings us back to the glorious days of
the first three centuries of the Church.
Taking well instructed child Of
six years of age, the good people
thronged to the church on the follow
commotion mixed with the anxiety of
expectation reigned. Suddenly an an,
gelic looking boy dressed in white ap-
peared and directed his steps to the
altar. All eyes were directed at him.
A voice began the 'Confiteor' and all
the people recited it with devout ca
dence, not without tears and sobs.
The child ascends the altar. He opens
the Tabernacle. And oh! solemn mo-
ment! he extracts the Ciborium. And
this new Tarcisius, this improvised
deacon, turns to the rails and dis
tributes holy communion to the people,
or rather to all those souls that con-
sidered themselves to be in the state
of grace. Since the sacred particles
were numerous the faithful in order
to consume them all, had each to par
take of them ten or twelve times.
when all we're consumed, he puri-
fed the ciborium, and thus in tears
that touching function came to an
end. On learning the above Pope
Benedict, through the Papal Secretary
of State, wrote to the Bishop of Pa
dova, sending his blessing and hand
some present to the child

VALUED RELIC MISSING
LETTER OF WASHINGTON TO
BISHOP CARROLL NOT IN
ARCHIVES.

A valuable letter in the archives of
the Baltimore Archdiocese has disap-
peared, and is now being diligently
sought. The letter was written by
George Washington to Bishop Carroll
and was one of the treasures of
American Catholics. 1t was a congrat-
ulation from General Washington on
the part played by Catholics in the
winning of American independence.
The last record shows that the let
ter was in New York city about fifty
years ago. 1t had been sent to John
Culinary Shea for the making of cop
les. No record has been found of it's
return. It's filing envelope at the Ca
thedral, bearing the notation, "Origi-
nal Letter of G. Washington to Catho-
lies U. States" is in its place in the
Cathedral vaults, but there is no in
closure.
A letter from Shea, dated December
%, 1865, addressed to Archbishop
Spalding, relates to permission to
have the copies made and a second
letter from Shea to the Archbishop,
dated December q, 1865, acknowl-
edges the arrival of the Washington
letter.
1t is believed that the issue of the
facsimiles attracted the attention of
historian or antiquarian and that he

ST. Cloud: The Revs. John and
Joseph Trobec who together with sew
eral priests from St. Paul attended
the funeral of the late Father Tomazin
at Joliet, ILL.,, report that careful in
vestigation of the facts and circum-
stances connected with his sudden
death at Chicago two weeks ago, leads
to the very probable opinion that he
did not jump from the window of the
Sherman hotel as at first reported, but
met his death accidentally. The night
of the accident was very sultry one,
and the belief is that Father Tomazin,
unable to sleep, arose and sat near
the open window saying his beads.
The window sill was very low and
probably he fell asleep while praying
and fell out the window. When his
lifeless body was picked up his hands
still clutched the beads.

PEOPLE OF SUPERIOR, WIS.,, PRE-
SENT PURSE OF $1,000 TO RE-
TIRING PASTOR OF THE cATHE-
ORAL - GREAT DEMoNSTRA-
TON OF AFFECTION BY ALL
CLASSES AND cREEDs.
(Communicated)

"A purse of $500 was presented
last week by the people of Superior,
Wisconsin, to Rev. Peter Rice, retir-
ing pastor of the Cathedral of the Sa-
cred Heart. Father Rice returned last
Sunday to his former parish at Bruce,
Wis. The impending change was an
nounced on Tuesday of last week, and
although Father Rice has been pastor
of the Cathedral only year, the peo-
pie of the city at once showed that he
had won their esteem and loyal affec-
ton.
A farewell reception to Father Rice
was given in the Grand opera house
on Thursday evening, August 81. The
theater was packed with all classes
and creeds of men, women and chill
dren. DIR. P. G. McGill presided over
the assembly and among the speakers
were the most prominent business
and professional men of the city. Rev.
erend D. w. Lynch, pastor of st.
James Church, Duluth, voiced the SEN
timent of the meeting and brought en-
thusiastic cheers when, in his address,
he said: Father Rice is my ideal of
a true priest and a true citizen. He
preached temperance; and temperance
is the predominant one of the four
cardinal virtues. He preached
Christ's virtues by word and exam
ple.'
Major Rossiter, A. T. Rock, w. r.
Foley, |. B. Hill and Reverend Mr..
Knowles, a Protestant clergyman,
were among the speakers of the even
ing. Reverend John Zindler, pastor
of ST. Mary's Church, South Superior,
paid a warm tribute of praise to his
fellow priest. The G. A. r. and the
National Guard we're both represent
ed among the speakers; the former by
Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Lent, the latter by
Major Rossiter. Toward the close of
the meeting DR.. McGill made the pre-
sentation address and placed in the
hands of Father. Rice the purse of
$500 to which he said, non-Catholics
as we'll as Catholics had gladly con-
tributed to testify in some slight de-
gree their esteem and affection.
In Father Rice's response he gave
the secret of his influence with all
classes of men. His words were filled

cant was the fact that men of differ
ent religious beliefs joined their voices
in praise of the noble work that Co.
lumbus College is accomplishing, and
heartily pledged their best support to
further the interests of this pioneer
Catholic College of South Dakota.
Surrounded by such congenial and
healthful atmosphere Columbus Col.
lege is assured of rapid and solid
growth.
In his turn the new president,
Father Stephenson, heartily expressed
his thanks to the people for their
whole-souled loyalty to the interests
of Columbus College and commented
favorably upon their true democratic
spirit. He further briefly outlined the
correct position of the Catholic
Church in the field of education, as
surfing the audience that the unfailing
and generous cooperation they had
always given to Columbus College was
sufficient proof that the people of
Chamberlain did not share in the oft
misrepresented attitude of the Catho-
lie Church towards education.
Father Stephenson's address was
warmly and generously applauded At
the close of the reception each one
present shook hands with the new
president and individually assured
him of loyalty and cooperation

AS the Portrait Painter Sees Us.

The oldest unsolved question in the
world of art is which to be sorrier for, the
harassed painter Of portraits or his in
nocent victim. The case for the sitter Is
well put by former Governor Hadley Of
Missouri in his deposition designed to de-
feat Mrs. Samantha l.. Huntleys suit for
her 5000 fee. His lower lip was too lonf;
and the necktie was green instead Of blue
polka-dot. Just why Mr.. Hadley shoul
elect to cite a portrait of Colonel Roos"-
welt to prove his point that blue polka-do IS
are not incompatible with art we do not
know. In Chicago, in 1912, Mr.. Hadloy
vehemently thrust aside every effort to
have a blue or red bandanna or any other
Rooseveltian emblem of any description
whatsoever tied round his throat. How
ever, his main protest is sound. The long
awaited portrait, sat for through many
patient hours, never does have the desired
length of lip or color of tie. Whether the
blame be natures or arts, that is the fact.
But the other side of the problem is quite
as heart-breaking. Your Sargent can tell
his victim to go hang, and paint him or
her with just as long a nose as he beauti-
fully wants to. The poor rest of the craft
cannot. For them achievement must be
at best a judicious compromise between
cruel truth and the fattery of loving
friends. The alternative is to paint for
posterity, which, as a customer, is notOri-
ously poor pay, quite without appeal to
your thrifty artist.
