TO MEMORY OF A FRENCH NOBLE
MAN WHO HELPED IN U. S.
REVOLUTION SOME REMINlS-
cENcES OF The COMING OF,
THE FRENCH FLEET WHEN
MOST NEEDED.

There was unveiled on Tuesday of
| last week in front of Kings Chapel,
fremont street, Boston, monument
| erected to the memory of the Cheva-
| lier de Saint-SauVeur, a young French
nobleman of Count D'Estaing's fleet
who died in Boston September Is, 1878,
and whose remains were placed in the
crypt of that meeting house.
Thus, after one hundred and thirty
nine years is executed the order of the
General Court of Massachusetts &C.
cording to the original arrangements
made with Count DEstaing, and thus
fittingly is commemorated an incident
which, but for the wisdom and tact Of
the admiral might have resulted in
the alienation of sympathy on the part
of the French people and their mon
arch, at q time when the embattled
Continentals sorely needed it.
The French fleet of twelve ships Of
the line and three frigates, after
stormy adventures that form a chapter
by themselves, arrived in Boston har-
Dor during the last week of August,
1878. The local authorities, civil and
military, eXerted themselves to treat
their guests with the greatest cordial
ity and hospitality. The admiral in
turn entertained his hosts on his flag
ship. High Mass was celebrated with
full military ritual on board the vari-
Gus vessels, and the Boston notables of
that city were often present at these
religious services which, few years
before, would have been regarded with
proper Protestant horror by the inhab-
itants Of st. Botolph's town.
Religion of Valued Allies.
This Difference to the religious faith
of valued allies was duly seized upon
by the British and Tory press, which
in language whose vigor left nothing
to be desired, spread the story that
the Massachusetts leaders had sue
cumbed to the "wiles Of Rome"
Such reports did not disturb the

time has come for disseminating
guardianship Of all competent Indians
and giving even closer attention to
the incompetent that they may more
speedily achieve competency. Broadly
speaking, a policy of greater liberal
ism will henceforth prevail in Indian
administration to the end that every
Indian, as soon as he has been deter
mined to be as competent to transact
his own business as the average white
man, shall be given full control of his
property and have all his lands and
moneys turned over to him, after
which he will mo longer be a ward
of the government" Under the new
policy patents in fee will be issued
to all competent Indians; these In
dams will be given unrestricted con-
troll of their own money; their share
of tribal funds will, when proper, be
turned over to them; children whose
parents are able to pay for their edu-
cation and have school facilities near
home, will not be received in Gov
eminent Indian boarding schools.
This" says the Commissioner, is a
new and far-reaching declaration Of
policy 1t means the dawn of a new
era in Indian administration. II means
that the competent Indian will no
longer be treated as half ward and
half citizen. 1t means reduced appro-
priations by the government and more
self-respect and independence for the
Indian. 1t means the ultimate absorb
ton of the Indian race into the body
polite of the nation. It means, in
short, the beginning of the end of the
Indian problem.

The sinner causes displeasure to the
Holy Ghost in two ways: Firstly,
when he refuses to allow Him to enter
his heart, thereby doing his own soul
an injury by this obstinacy to grace,
thus resisting the Holy Spirit. Sec

a mortal sin, the Holy Spirit is obliged
to leave the soul WHICH formerly had

The Star Spangled Banner
ORIGIN OF THE NATIONAL AN
THEM-HOW 1T WAS WRIT
TEN BY KEY.

The nations emblem, the Stars and
Stripes, is everywhere in evidence at
the present time. In the theaters and
at public gatherings, it is made to
speak it's message to the American
people by means OF the inspiring pa
tional anthem, The Star-Spangled
Banner" The words Of that hymn
breathe real patriotism and they
should be read and re-read in the
present crisis with solemnly thought
full reflection. And the noble senti-
ments that the song expresses should
be associated with the circumstances
which moved its composer, Francis
S. Key. to transmit to posterity his
immortal verses.
1t was while being forcibly detained
on a ship which was in the midst Of
hostile fleet that in 1914 was bonn
harding Baltimore that Mr.. Key re-
ceived his inspiration. The Star
Spangled Banner was not a product
Of his fancy, but a description Of what
he actually experienced on the fateful
night of that bombardment amid ''the
rockets red glare, and bomb bursting
in air" 1t all came about in this man
ner:
In 1912, America was at war with
Great Britain. Francis S. Key was a
volunteer in the Light Artillery in
Georgetown, District of Columbia. In
1914, after the British troops retired
from Washington, a squadron of Brit
ish ships made their way up the Po-
tomac River and began to menace the
capital. However, the ships suddenly
departed.
Bombardment of Fort Henry.
A DR.. Beanes, American patriot, had
been seized in the meantime and was
put on board a British vessel as a
prisoner He was a prominent man
and his friends took steps to procure
his release. The President sanctioned
the plan which proposed to have Mr..
Key go aboard the British admirals
ship under flag of truce to intercede
for DR.. Beanes. Mr.. Key fastened to
Baltimore and embarked from there
with pilot. He succeeded in secur-
ing DR.. Beanes' release, but the adj
miral refused to allow Mr.. Key and
DR.. Beanes and the pilot who had
brought him to leave the ship for sew
eral days. The British were prepar-
ing to lombard Fort Henry, the key
to Baltimore.
The bombardment began and lasted
throughout the night. For Mr.. Key
and his party, who passed that night
of silence and suspense in the midst
of the British fleet, the experience
was one of uncertain agitation. They
could not see Fort Henry, but they
saw the glare of the shells and
heard their defamation. While the
bombardment was on they knew that
the fort was still holding out.
and the rockets red glare and bombs
bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that the
flag was still there"
Then the bombardmenI ceased
shortly before daybreak. Had Fort
Henry surrendered? They feared ii
had, but hoped it had not. Peering
through the mist of the dawn they
tried to ascertain if the British flag
or the Stars and Stripes were float
ing over the fort Suddenly as the
mist lifted, they beheld at the morn
ings first beam the Star-Spangled
Banner futtsring in the breeze, in
| full glory reflected.

equanimity of the hard-headed Han
cock and his colleagues any more than

Captain de Raimondis OF the Caesar,

American cause were Catholics who

lean gratitude.
After Many Years.
A century and a quarter went by be-
fore the matter was brought up again
in local circles. One of the founders
OF the French Society of the Sons OF
the American Revolution began to
seek the burial-place OF the CheValler
de Saint-Sauveur and when the facts
were ascertained a movement was
started to carry out the decree of Sep
TENDER 1G, 177S.
A bill was introduced in the legis-
lature for that purpose in 1905 and a
motion was approved May II, naming
committee of seven to take action.
Finally, on June 1, 1916, through the
eXertiOns of members of the Bostoni-
an Society motion carrying an appro-
priation of one thousand dollars was
passed, and the modest monument was
in due time set up in the little square
on the right hand side of Kings
Chapel porch; all of which shows that
though republics and commemorative
may not be ungrateful, they are some
times given to representation.
The tragic fate of this young aristo-
crat of brilliant court, who met his
death in the gloom Of some narrow
Boston street, the international ten
sion occasioned by the circumstances,
the dreary interment at the dead Of
night in the strangers tomb, and the
long period that elapsed before sub
stantial recognition was accorded his
memory in Boston, where he died and
where his body rests, form a most in
teresting fOotnote TO Revolutionary
history.
