Miss Grace Strachan Married In
Church.-Miss Grace G.. Strachan, dis
trict superintendent of New York City
schools, who was married to Mr.. Tim
othy j. Forsythe, many years her
junior, on Good Friday last, was mar
| ried according to the rites of the
| Catholic Church in st. Augustine's
| Church, Brooklyn, on Tuesday morn
ing of last week. Miss Strachan, now
| Mrs. Forsythe, who always passed in
public as a Catholic, was severely
criticized in Catholic publications for
| having been married by justice of
the peace, and that on Good Friday.
Mary Pickford's Treat.-Last Thurs
day was the occasion of much excite
ment and rejoicing at Los Angeles
Orphan Asylum, Calf, conducted by
the Daughters of Charity, for Mary
Pickford had planned a picnic to
Santa Monica Canyon for that day.
Three immense sightseeing cars con-
veyed the little passengers and the
| good nuns through the beautiful
roads. When the children passed the
| Soldiers Home they instinctively
| broke forth into a burst of music
and sang the national airs. Each
child was furnished with an individual
box filled with a substantial lunch.
Out on the grounds ice cream and
candy was generously served. A
long, happy day was spent exploring
the canyon and gathering shells at the
beach.
Home for Boys.-A shelter home for
| boys will be opened at West Randolph
and North Desplaines Streets, Chicago,
next month, under the auspices of La
Sale Assembly, fourth degree Knights
| of Columbus. The idea was brought to
Chicago by Archbishop Mundelein,
and, shortly after beginning his Off
cial duties in the archdiocese, he
| launched the project and explained it's
purpose to the La Sale Assembly
| The three thousand members of the
| degree in Cook county have assured
500 each toward the establishment
and operation of the home, and at a
meeting in the Hotel La Sale $4,000
of this fund was subscribed as the
nucleus of that fund
riest-Veteran.-Rev. V. F. Schmidt,
aged 70 years, pastor of ST. Josephs
Church, Washington, D. c., died re-
Gently. He was born in Bavaria, and
came to the United States in 1862
He enlisted as a private in the One
| Hundredth Pennsylvania Volunteers,
| famous as the "Roundhead Regiment"
| raised by Colonel Daniel Leasure, of
New Castle, in Mercer, Lawrence,
| Beaver, Washington and other west
ern Pennsylvania counties, and fought
in twenty-three battles of the Civil
| War. He was ordained to the priest
hood in 1868, and had lived in Wash
| ington since 1886.
Will Care for Waifs.-An effort is
| being made to interest the public in
| behalf of the babies abandoned yearly
in Colorado Springs Mrs. Theodore
w. Gauss, as treasurer of commit
tee of prominent women of that city,
is sending out a circular letter ask
ing for financial assistance. For a
long time the good Sisters of Charity
of Glockner Sanitarium have rendered
| most generous and efficient service
to the little outcasts. Sister Rose,
\ the superior, agrees to continue the
good work if the public will increase
the slowly growing fund, started three
years ago, to such proportions as to
cover the cost of a suitable place for
her delicate charges. If nursery is
provided, Sister Rose will gladly bear
| the further expenses incident to the
caring for small babies.
Benedictine Edits Indian Paper
In the matter of Indian linguistics,
Benedictine monks hold first rank.
The Chippewa language at once
brings to mind the names of Fathers
Simon Lampe and Roman Homar, as
the Dakota does those of Father Je-
rome Hunt, Father Francis Gersch-
| Wyler and Father Bernard Strass-
maier There is Benedictine lay
Brother who should not be overlooked,
says The Indian Sentinel. This cap
able, humble monk is Brother Giles,
of Fort Totten, whose knowledge of
the Sioux is well nigh perfect. 1t is
good, dear Brother Giles, hidden away
at Fort Totten unknown and unrecog-
nized in the world at large, who does
| the greatest part of the work in get
ting out the Catholic Sioux periodical,
the Sinasapa Wooekiye Taeyanpaha.
